Used 2 different versions of xplore wm6 and missing major amount of calls

I recently upgraded my phone to xplore and i was missing many many calls and not only that i never got the voicemail notifier. this went on for a wk then i upgraded to the new xplore that was released and still the same thing seems to be happening.
as well i cant seem to find the sim mananger on my phone. i am using the tmobile mda g3 verison. wm5 worked pretty well on mine, but as an american i must have the newer but it doesnt seem to be working.

More info please such as GSM version, overclock software, etc.

i am using cingular, nothing else done to the phone besides flashing the rom

Do you know what radio version (GSM) your using?
For Cingular, this 2.19.11 UK radio is the best.

Radio is not included in rom !
Only OS
I suggest if you have a problem with a rom, post that problem in that rom thread, like that you'll keep this forum clean.
Flash the tmobile 2.19 RADIO ONLY ROM you can find a link in the first post of the Xplore thread
HERE :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299470

Flashing the radio just updates the radio. You don't change your OS and don't loose anything. I am running Radio 2.19 on Cingular. It is the only one that seems to be working for WM6 and Cingular USA.
Radio 2.19 (changes only your radio)

Missing Calls
I am having the same problem with the Missed calls. I am using Xplore1.1 which I have found very stable. I also just update 2.19 radio rom, so I will see if that helps. Thank for all the help, your forums are very nice!

I had the same problem with Cingular 8125, on Cingular U.S. network. Quit overclocking, flashed 2.19.11 UK Radio ROM (it works fine on U.S. network) and so far no problems. I'm using Wizard Mobile 6 Business Edition FINAL by jwzg, no resident apps except for X-Button.

I've got the same problem. Tried many roms and tried a couple off different Radio Roms. But the problem still exists. The wierd part is that first with a couple of WM5 roms the connection was lost, but now my phone says it has connection but some times people can't call me. But as soon as I use my fone (for a text or a call) then the connection is OK again and I'm available again.
I installed a new WM6 rom at a friend of mine he's got the same problem now.
Both using a WM6 Faria rom with a 2.19 radio rom.
Hope someone does know how this problem can be solved.

There's nothing to see .... it works.
All you guys should do some research before posting and blaming roms! No rom is perfect and works different on each device. Example: we both can have xplore installed and I have a problem with the keyboard and you don't.
If you guys are gonna report an issue and help make the rom better...cool
If you're gonna complain about what doesn't work....use your factory rom!
What you guys fail to realize is that this a developers site! Not a user site.

I don't get it. I don't think people in this treath go *****in that the rom is ****ed or something. There is a problem and there are more people with the same problem. I for example tried many roms and radio roms read loads and loads of topics but can't find a good explenation of what can cause this problem and how it can be fixed.
I love the work of all the rom cookers here and don't complain about that it is the fold of a rom cooker. But it is a problem I can't solve so there for there are forums like these where you can read and read, and when you still have no answer you can post a message. And that's what's happening here.

I totaly agree with you.
This site is called XDA-Developers , and if you people don't want to learn anything, but just copy a ROM, and go home, I would also suggest using an Official one.
Please tell me, what Provider is giving his customers this amount of free customer service ?
And you pay them, remember ? Not directly, but you do.
What I wanted to say is remember that this is provided "as is" and no warranties. Things may go bad. Like dwny said, same software can act different on some devices, and that's nobody's fault.

So far it has

I don't remmeber blaming anyone or the roms...I was just having a problem thought one of your developers might of found something that worked for them. I am reading everything that goes up in the Xplore threads.

Let's all just calm down.....
Guys, this is so not cool.....
Look, no one in this world knows everything about everything and everyone must start somewhere right? Old timers (relatively speaking), please lighten up on us intermediates and the newbs; you were once newbs too!
Newbs, they are right to an extent in that this is a development site and nothing is going to be easy about what we do here. There is no step-by-step guide! (i have found the hard way a few times). It takes time and dedication to get a lot of this stuff right and overall there is a great risk that something could go wrong or you could not get the same results as everyone else. But, if you weren't already interested you wouldn't be reading this! You gotta admit, it's good stuff.
Now, on to the issue here in the post. I wonder, are you syncing your calendar data with an exchange server or just outlook? When you sync your data and look at the data on your phone does it mark your appt times as busy? Have you checked your phone network forwarding settings (in phone app go to options if you haven't found it) and tried forwarding your busy calls to another phone number that you have near you and see if this might be the issue. I had to do this with a couple of ROMs that I have tried as when my calendar saw me as busy the phone would not ring! If this works, then in the future one easy to get around this to either A: Mark yoour appt times for now on as "Free" or B: forward busy calls to secondary phone if you are a slave like me who has to also carry a crack-berry (loath even the thought of that evil thing!)
Just an idea.... Please let me know if this helps. I actually found this in a post a while ago myself but I can't find it anymore.

I'm calm
I wasn't upset when I wrote the post above, so chill. I will see what I can find out.

It is all good here

Usually because you get a voicemail notification and you never heard the phone ring. This happens to me sometimes. Does anyone know if there is any coralation with missing calls and GPRS always turned on? Do the people who are missing calls have that option enabled?

BRICK: Q-Mobile, Orange Uk, Hard Spl'd

****
My phone seems to have given up the ghost. A few days after having put on the excellent Q-Mobile system. My phone has refused to boot properly. Heres what happens:
In start up from Soft reset, or Power off, i get the tricolour screen saying:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0 OliPof
CPLD-8
a few2 lines benath that is written 'Serial'
it then flashed onto a white screen saying 'loading......no image file' - this all takes about a second.
And then it rests on the screen mentioned above.
I haven't dropped it or done anything other than flash- correctly.
AAAARGH! it does randomly decide to boot up properly after its been left of for a whil if that helps.
Also - active synch wont recognise it , in the tr-colour state.
HELP!!!

Just bring it back to the store and claim your warranty.
If they start asking questions just say that you are unaware of any software change, act like your life depends on it
European law states that every device should have a 2 year warranty.

Try a hard reset...
Hold down the two so-called "soft buttons" at the bottom of the screen while pressing the reset button with the stylus.
I feel your pain man!

Its all well and good to pump your favorite ROM, but don't give bad advice. This sounds like a hardware issue to me (usually intermittent things like this are). I recommend the same as a user above...go claim your warranty and be on the safe side.
FYI there's absolutely nothing in any ROM (including mine) that should make your device do this.

Connect phone to PC with a usb cable.
Does the word "Serial" on the phone display change to "USB"?
If not you are in trouble and you have to send it to service.
But if it shows USB you can flash any ROM update.

thanks for all the help
Its sorted now, and i'm running a perfectly stable Q Mobile. Its really nice not being 'Dutty-Centric'. In response to the person that said upgrade to Dutty V3, it was bad advice for another reason. It would have been incompatible with my radio. Only AT&T versions work on my uk orange tytnII i've got the ...14.09 radio.
anyways - thanks for intervening Quentin and well done its a brilliant ROM

Did I read that right? How have you got a 14.09 radio on your orange UK tytn II. Did it come like that or did you flash the radio?

Flashing an Orange Kaiser - Success!

Hi all,
I've been reading your threads about flashing the ROM with the 6.1 version from HTC and read that everyone seems to be having issues with flashing the Orange Branded Kaiser.
I've managed to successfully flash mine with the HTC 6.1 update and get rid of all the orange stuff. I used Olipro's SIM/CID unlocker to unlock the device and success, it works!
I made sure that I had a copy of the radio ROM and the original Orange ROM, which are all available on here just incase. The first few times the phone just booted and locked up on the splash screen, so used camera, power and soft reset to boot into bootloader and reinstalled the orange ROM, all worked fine.
Probably teaching you all to suck eggs as you've all probably achieved it, but just wanted to let you know there is hope, I am a noobie yet managed it. Just wanted to say a big thanks to all of you at XDA, especially Olipro! So, cheers! Happy cooking

gratz mate, did mine last week after reading for a couple of weeks, using dutty's wm6.1 but having problems with forwarding text messages, keeps spamming everyone the same message lol......any chance you can upload the original orange rom and radio somewhere I never made a backup

I've been using an Orange TyTn and from day 1 I have been using cooked ROMs with not a single problem EVER... The only problem I came across was the Radio issues... And that was my mistake because I didn't put a 6.1 radio on my phone... All the people that do have problems are those who cannot or choose not to READ!!! Its by no means the simplest job to flash any ROM for the first time with a TyTn... But start reading the right things and taking it ALL in and you can't go wrong... Even if you do go wrong someone has done it too and posted a fix or a guide which explains everything you need to know to get back on track...

Hear, hear - the issues for Orange users are well known and very well documented here. The main issue of SIM lock has gone away thanks to the efforts of Jocky and co. making flashing our Orange devices a much more straightforward affair.
Some time ago I made a backup of the original Orange ROM which can be found in this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
Note that this is the ROM and splash screen only - the Radio that Orange ships has never been released in a ROM package, there are other radios available with close(ish) version numbers - see the Radio ROM thread for more information.

we must be carefull with our rulings

I should certainly congratulate you for your successfully flashing a rom on your kaiser. This is the big news of the century ! Two big thums up
But I just don't understand how on earth you got to such all-embracing conclusion that "everyone seems to be having issues with flashing the Orange Branded Kaiser".
This is one of the strangest claims (made in someone's FIRST post) ever posted on kaiser rom dev thread.
As on Orange UK user who has flashed numerous roms on his orange branded TyTN_II (aka kaiser) with unspeakably "less" issues/problems than US/Australian/Malaysian/Germanan/Mars(!!) kaiser users , I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about mate !
Does that "everyone" include you and perhaps a friend of yours ? !!
no offence my friend, but don't you think it would be better to spend some time on the forum before shooting such generalization in the first post??
cheers

Yeah, fair enough that was a generalisation - my appologies! I'll put it down to my excitement of thinking i was a hero for fixing it after it was in bootloader for days! I just read that there seemed to be a lot of issues if you tried flashing it as there is a possibility that the phone will lock you out completely - I have heard of people entering their IMEI number in but not quite sure about it - and this seemed to be a general theme across forums...i probably just read old posts!
Anyway, it was just a thanks than any kind of technical advice! like i said in my post, i got all of the ROMS tools etc from XDA so cheers. There is also a radio rom, the original orange one is 1.65.16.65 which is on here too. I've read that this is the radio shipped with the HTC WM6.1 ROM and orange just used it in their build anyway?
The first time i tried flashing it I didn't want to risk trying Olipro's unlocker, no offence, as it said it changed the Radio which i read was the cause of the issues..but after being stuck in the splash screen for days that annoyingly said "smart mobility"..not so smart when it's a fancy paperweight.. i found out how to get into bootloader and i flashed the Original Orange rom back, and used the unlocker. All worked fine! The only issue was that i use a VPN for work and it wouldn't load the server web pages properly. Managed to fix this after somebody told me about using Schap's AdvancedConfig and changing the UserAgent. again, thanks!
So keep up the good work, you provide hope for plebs like me.

Radio Nightmare...need help.

I've been using Dutty Hybrid 2.5 with radio 1.65.14.06 for months and all was fine. yesterday, i got no reception all of the sudden. i would get 5 bars and hsdpa for 30 sec or so and then i loose the signal completely for a few minutes. i did a hard reset...no luck. so now i just flashed about 10 different 6.1 radios. i either get reception, OR the camera works. none do both. i decided it had to be a problem with the rom. so i just flashed an L26 diamond rom. same thing. the fact that the the camera and the web/phone each work (with different radios ) makes me think this cant be a hardware issue.
Any Ideas?

You'd think that. But I honestly thing you have a Hardware issue. Due to the spontaneity of the first time this problem happened.

hmmm...
if it is a hardware problem...i guess i'll probably be going without the camera (its pretty weak anyways). still, it seems very strange that i could get everything working separately, although i dont fully understand the connection between the radio and the camera. this stinks. i'm also assuming that because i've flashed roms my warranty is void. does anyone have any other ideas as to what this might be?

JimmyMcGee is our expert in the discussion but i also favour your theory that its not a hardware issue because you are confirming that Phone or Camera work well using different radios and one of them get knocked under at the time... yeah
i am suspecting that you are using wrong radio for your roms look here
try official rom and how will kaiser react to it
if not revert stocked rom and stocked spl and Warranty will be restored check this

i had the same problem with one of Dutty's ROM last week. even flashed back to stock and had the same problem. i ended up getting a new phone.

Before i venture an idea here, i believe we need some more information:
1) Did you mean Dutty's 4/29 Hybrid v2 w/ 1.65.14.06
2) The list of "10 different WM6.1 Radios" that you tried and which ones got reception/camera worked.
3) Did you try a hard reset already, because you didn't mention it?
Typically the issue w/ the camera not working also means that while you may be able to hear sound on your phone, typically the other party can't hear you when you have the wrong radio installed, just as a side note.
If flashing back to a stock rom, and hard reset do not work, then i would take Jimmy's advice and just do a warranty exchange, as it probably is hardware related.
@Jimmy - did you hear that? "JimmyMcgee is our expert" nice to see someone showing you the proper respect

Serviced mine once due to this exact same thing.
One last thing you can try, go under band and put the first drop down menu to GSM.
If this doesn't help, you will have to service it.
It's some part that is made of lead that is veeeeeery cheap really
It get a little bent and they will straight it for you.
Happened twice with me, I eneded up changing the main board which was much better.
Then after 2 months of normal use and no problems, a guy wanted to buy it and he did.
Got myself a new one.
Don't worry if you are in warranty.
Do not forget to flash back the original ROM then Radio then SPL.
Oh, and Relock security if you unlocked it
Good luck

I would also venture that the Radio is not FULLY working, just partly, that's why sometimes the Calls work but no camera, and vice versa.
I'd say flash back to stock SPLs and Roms and Do a Warranty Exchange if you can.
Remember, You never flashed any ROMs.

02 XDA Serra - treat like Touch Pro Original

Hello,
I'm planning to get the xda serra - can I treat it like a htc branded touch pro and follow the rom and radio update instructions available here? or will i need to do different things?
Also are the sim unlock instructions same as a htc branded touch pro?
Could someone let me know.
Thanks.

I've just bought a serra but i'm scared to do anything with it.
could someone answer the question made by spark.

so no Serra users out there with cooked roms?

ive done it and its fine so far installed one rom 8 times with the updates,read the wiki and you will be fine,read about hard spl and read about it good-read twice if your not sure then the world is your oyster.just remember that if when you plug it it usb and it doesnt connect you can put it into bootloader mode and install a different rom if active sync doesnt work right.read about the differnet roms out there.
and keep checking the forum for updates etc.
best of luck and remember read about it before you do anything.

if your on o2 it should be unlocked anyway mine is, just use hard spl (hard spl for touch pro)for it dont use any other type eg... for htc diamond,touch etc as its only ment for the 1 model i think(iam i right guys).

Thank you for the answer (its given me the confidence to go buy one).
I'm going to get the Serra some time next week (now that i know the touch pro cooked roms will work). I'll probabily use the ROMeOS² version as it looks nicely cut down.

Yes, I'm using a cooked ROM on my Serra. Works a treat.

After reading all your replys i'm gouing to finally use a cooked rom on my serra.
I (like spark, sort of) have got a serra but never did anything with it. I never knew if i could just treat it like a touch pro (now i do).
Is there a original serra rom out there incase i need to put back back to its original state for warranty reasons? - i've browsed through the rom section but cant seem to see any.

The original XDA Serra ROM is available - see the link in the wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
I did try a different ROM on my original XDA Serra - basically the original HTC ROM, but I did have lots of problems with GPS. It did turn out to be a hardware problem and my device has been exchanged, but until I am confident every feature is fully working I'm not going to change the ROM again. Plus, other issues my original XDA Serra had (such as device.exe errors on keyboard slide out, random freezes, running slowly) dont' seem to be issues on the new one.

See my signature - the O2 ROM only stayed on my device briefly - it was OK but GPS lock was a nightmare (although I see O2 have issued a fix now). I will be cooking my own once I get a little time, but found the PROven roms to be good bases.
