Cingular 2125 online, but randomly unavailable for incoming calls. - HTC Tornado

Hello,
I flashed my phone with HTC Tornado WM6 Std few weeks ago. During last 14 days I'm getting information from friends that I'm randomly unavailable.
I'm using ActiveSync to Exchange email sync and Slick (ICQ) was installed on the phone (not executed anyway). Yesterday I sent a SMS and few seconds later I got a SMS from operator with the list of calls that the network was unable to connect.
I suspect that GPRS/EDGE ActiveSync synchronization is causing the phone unavailable for voice calls. But this is against the GPRS standard.
Is it "normal" for this device or it may be the Radio ROM problem (4.1.13.28_02.61.01)?
Thank you

Not available
I have a Qtek 8310 and I've been encountering the same problem all the time on different WM6.1 ROMs. My operator says it shouldn't be so (i.e. this is not their fault). In my case the problem only appears when I'm downloading something. The moment after the download is over the incoming call comes through fine.
I tried different radio versions from original 02.20.01 till 2.71.01 (from a different HTC device). None helped. I only noticed that the older 2.20.01 is more stable in general.
Well, I still don't know the answer, so let's see what other people say...

Works fine now...
Since my last post I've done 2 things: tried WM6.1 Pro RC7 and WM6.5 and changed mobile operator.
1) with any Pro ROM radio worked very stable, without that issue, but I had to switch back to 6.1 Std ROM because it's more comfortable for me.
2) after I had changed mobile operator from a small local one to on of the federal, now everything works fine even on Std ROM.
So, the answer is probably ROM-operator incompatibility.

Answers of problems with different roms
I've tried all the WM6 ROM's that were build and would like to give all of you some of my feedback.
I think the problems and solutions are depending of wich brand, phone edition, country and provider you are using. For example the MDA –pro from T-Mobile has different hardware than the qtek 9000 that I'm using now. So this might explain why some testers have problems with their phone while others don't.
This is why it sometimes is difficult to locate the problem. I mean how often do you see that people are saying "I have this and that problem" while many others are saying "Nope, works fine with me"... At the moment I have and old MDA-pro from T-Mobile and a brand new Qtek 9000. After installing Ivan's wm6 on the T-Mobile and on the Qtek, i noticed that the T-Mobile phone started out with nothing but problems. After installation and soft-reset I had the following results.
T-Mobile
1. It freezed after 1rst soft-reset after installation.
2. 3G connection dropped.
3. Reconnect to internet very difficult
4. Phone on, signal on but call don’t come trough?
5. Works better with radio 1.09
6. Bleutooth sucks with headsets and internet sharing
7. Often have problems with the windows media player
8. Synchronising takes ages (using Vista Ultimate)
Qtek 9000
1 No problems
2 3G on for 3 days now
3 Reconnection better but still not perfect.
4 Don’t have this problem
5 Same here, but as said can be provider
6 Lose my paired device (parrot CK3100)
mostly after a day or 2 quite irritating.
7 No problems until I use the hibernate
when installed not correct.
8 Synchronising works o.k. (using Vista Ultimate)
I can’t make complete list of all the bugs, but I just wanted to give you an example of the differences between these two phones.
The Rom from Ivan and Midget are one of the best at the moment.
Still I have some problems with their latest built (V3) and these bugs are based on my latest HTC Universal.
- As mentioned I lose my paired carkit device
- After changing settings (don’t know wich settings trigger this but..) you can’t create or edit a new email account. I haven’t install any programs, just synchronized with my laptop (OS Vista Ultimate)

Pocket IE not working through AT&T connections

Interesting development here... Since upgrading to WM6, I'm not able to access any pages using IE over my AT&T connections. I'm able to access pages using IE through my wireless network just fine. I've also had this problem with AKU 3.3 as well. This did not start until two or three weeks ago. I've made no major changes to either ROM. The AKU 3.3 ROM I was using was absolutely flawless for several weeks, and even activated the stock extended ROM. Using AKU 2.2, there isn't a problem in the world. I'm wondering if this isn't something on AT&T's end.
I may have found a possible issue using G'reloc when cooking some ROM's. Further research is needed.
Well, it seems like it's still not working even when cooked without G'Reloc.
This is driving me nuts, because I'm not sure if it needs a cab or what.
Can anyone help here?
Try switing to another ROM to diagnosis...
I had this same problem but decided to bounce to another ROM. I went with TNT and it is now working again. I have an AT&T Blue SIM card. I can't find the reference now, but someone else was experiencing the same exact problem with IE and the blue SIM card. Hope this helps.

Did you change location of cache or temp files? I think it happened to me one time, and i go the file location messed up...(dont remember for sure)
outlook not working
im att also, just upgraded to tnt pro the 1622 version or whatnot. pie works great for me but my outlook gmail accounts aren't working. anytime I send or receive I get an error syncronizing message at the bottom of the screen. oddly 1 day last week my email DID come in. why? I dunno. I get my att internet settings from a mfrazzz cingular settings cab. I've tried changin the network used from medianet to my isp, as I think that helped using mobile 5. but I still get the same error message, this is the only device I have and I need my email. any help would be greatly appreciated. oh yeh I just moved too if that makes a difference, the edge service is spottier but its still an edge connection not the slower one.
does your ROM include the networkwizard? If not, do AT&T not use a proxy via the GPRS?
No, it does not contain network wizard. I'd like to know who is running a 15342 based ROM that is also accessing the Cingular/AT&T network, and if they are having issues.
it works fine for me, no problem for my cooked ROM!

Dutty V3 + RADIO ... 3G failure

Hi guys,
I've got an AT&T branded HTC 8900 (tytn II, kaiser, what else).
Using it in Italy, with 3G provider (Wind).
I've updated it with Dutty V3. and radio i tried 1.27.12.11, -.17, -11.31... and my 3G (neither GPRS) connection doesn't work. When i try to connect the modem suddenly i get the “The answering modem has disconnected” than the “There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in to your registered home network” messages.
Before the update, the modem had worked fine with 3G connection, with original AT&T ROM.
Any suggestion?
TNX
ALEX
I also have a problem with duttys v3 and 3g. I wrote about it in a diffrent thread already. i can make a connection but there is a certain "lag" when i try to request data from the internet. No Problems on GPRS though. Tried all the diffrent radio roms. no change. Operator is O2 Germany device is a HTC Tytn II. I got a new Sim card today, maybe this will improve the situation. The Sim has a diffrent contact-layout. Will try tonight.
I have the suspicion that S2U2 might cause the problem, but I am not sure. Do you use S2U2? If yes, what version?

No problems here, try delete all settings which auto connections done, delete all proxys reset and enter manual settings to see if it works then
Did you try disabling HSDPA?
Fixed!

I guess it was just a f#cking hidden setting!
Even if I removed all connection setting, it kept not working...
I've installed the removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522 cab, ( http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/ -> Kaiser Cab Collections )run, and after that it works fine!!
TNX!!
PS. HSPDA still enabled.
PPS. RADIO is again 1.27.11.31
Thanks Dutty! I tried your suggestion. I think it's a little better now but I still think the connection was more responsive in No.7 Rom. For example, when I log on to ICQ with IM+ it used to go straigt to a green "connected" icon. With v3 i get a yellow "connecting" icon for about 15 seconds and then the green one.
My new Sim card just got activated, but made no difference.
It's not that big of a deal for me, as my connection basicaly works.
I will test connection stabilty in he next couple of days.
Other than that v3 is great!! Thank you Dutty!
Are you planning on releasing a new Rom anytime soon?
Have a nice relaxing weekend Dutty!

Sweet!!!, I was having problems not being able to access the internet via PIE, but could using Opera...it was driving me Bonkers!!. This worked..
However, i'm still not able to access tom tom plus server!!, any ideas?
Hi! I reflashed v3 and everything seemed fine again. However I now have a problem where I can't call or receive calls when on UMTS. All is fine when I am on GSM.
I tried Alex's Multimedia Rom (1.56)...same story there.
I now flashed the HTC Rom that came with my Tytn II and so far (2 hours including several test calls) everything seems normal again. Will try to flash v3 again maybe tonight.
Starting to see everything in tricolor ;-)
Greetings from Aachen, Germany

Nope problems catched up again...does anybody know, if it is better to remove the sim and/or turn off the phone radio before flashing radio roms?
Thanks! Brevi
Dear all,
maybe this is the same problem?

Is the hidden proxy also installed in a vodafone Rom?
Thnx Max
sounds familar
hi,
please see other posts by me(any way to link these threads moderators?) for other threads with similar issues. To clarify, if you revert back to your original rom, your 3G and phone calls work again? I started having problems with my 3G and phone functions about a week after I got my AT&T tilt..but after I changed to one of dutty's roms.
If I disable 3G via the comm manager, all works well, voice and data etc, but I can only do edge speeds. Unfortunately, I live 15 miles from the nearest 3G area so its hard fo me to experiment with roms and settings.
Also, to confuse things even more, one 3G area will still work for me while the network closer into to the Boston metro area won't, leading me to think that a network provisioning upgrade in the Boston area may be looking for something in the original AT&T rom that is now gone. I'm hoping not and that a phone upgrade or mother board swap will fix it(as others are reporting). I should do a revert back to the original rom and drive to my "test" area and see if 3G comes back...that would suck if it does...the stock roms are awful and about 5 years behind the time as far as user interface...like my old Ipaq.
I really like the dutty roms and may just live with edge speeds(dutty a donation will be forth coming once I settle in on a solution dude ).

I guess I tried everything by now...diffrent roms including HTC stock rom, radios, flashing radio with sim in/out.
But the problem always comes back.
About to call HTC support and send my Kaiser in for repair.
Hope it won't take too long, I am addicted to this fine device.
Already charged my old Hermes today. Oh my god the Kaiser is sooo much better compared to the Hermes it almost made me laugh ;-)

Agile Messenger 7.4 not working on multiple WM 6.1 ROMs

I just found an issue with Agile Messenger 7.4 on 3 different WM6.1 ROMs. I also had someone else verify that it was happening and not just an issue with my phone (Thanks mcmexican). This was tested with DCS 1.7 along with uttys_Official_WM6.1_Rom_5.2.1971, and XTRM-X1.0. Agile can be downloaded here. http://agilemobile.com/wm.html and has a 7 day trial if anyone wants to test it out.
I'm able to get Agile Messenger to work fine with the February ROM from AT&T, but so far it doesn't appear to work with the WM6.1 ROMs on the Kaiser platform. When attempting to connect Agile Messenger tries to initiate a new GPRS/3G dial out, even if you are already connected with an active data session. This tries and then fails several times before you receive the standard message that a GPRS/3G connection could not be established. The indicator at the top of the screen shows 3G or H and you can still browse the web or send email.
Agile Messenger 7.4 was working fine on a Hermes with the Stock AT&T and various other ROMs (WM6 and WM 6.1) from XDA. I've tried it without upgrading the radio using the standard AT&T radio and also using the three 6.1 compatible radios with the same result. I'm willing to bet that it's something odd with WM 6.1 on the Kaiser since it works fine on a Wizard and a Hermes. Can anyone do some troubleshooting?
try slueth's or dk's 3.02 based rom..
DK 3.02 works fine with Agile Messenger. Thanks for the suggestion. I wonder what is causing the problem with the other ROMs.
did you use the auto "connection settup"? or did u enter your settings manually? that little program showed to be problematic for some people including me, so I entered mine manually. I'm running dcs 1.7
Works for me on every ROM i tested out so far.
Is it not a radio problem....
Using (payed) version 7.4

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked my connection settings and the Network Wizard set my Access Point Name to isp.cingular. I changed it to wap.cingular, which is what the stock AT&T ROM set it as and I now have Agile Messenger working on the Mobile Vista 1.1 ROM.
i had the same problem, and the connection wizard setup the proxy on the internet connections, once i went in and unchecked that box it worked just fine for me.

random no sound issue

I became a couple of weeks ago the happy owner of a HTC Cruise bought with a personalized WM 6.0 Orange RO firmware. Unfortunately I had the great disappointment to discover that from time to time, even two or three times a day, the sounds disappear, I mean all of them – the voice of the caller, alarms, notifications, no matter if the device is on or in stand by. That happens with no apparent reason, in different times, even while I am speaking with a caller – so, while I am talking with somebody, all of a sudden the phone's sounds disappear - I am speaking but I am not hearing the voice of my caller who keeps talking with me. On other occasions, my wife or other persons call me, but because the phone doesn’t ring in my pocket, I am unaware it's ringing and I don't know I have to pick it up and answer.
Whenever it happens and I notice the issue, I soft-reset the device and the sound returns, but after a few hours the problem reappears.
I must confess that I didn't use the original rom at all, as soon as I got it, I upgraded to a a newer rom, at that time deciding on a pdaviet 6.5 ROM, using the recommended radio. Thinking it might be a ROM problem, I hoped switching to an official firmware would solve the problem, so at the moment I am using the official 6.1 firmware (I think it comes with it's own radio). The issue remains.
The only thing that remained constant is the hard spl - could that have anything to do with it??
Any ideas?
I doubt it's Hard SPL issue... too many users (with very various ROMs), and not a common problem.
It could be some software, since problem is not constant. Does problem repeat if using "naked" ROM - meaning, no additional programs installed?
so simple
Great idea! It was so simple it didn't even cross my mind. And you are right, it could be an explanation, considering there is ton of installed programs. I'll do a clear storage and keep you posted.
thanks!
I had de same problem. I beleave it is the radio. Now I have V.1.59.42.15 and it works fine.
I'm not sure...

I have (and had) the same version of radio, because that's included in the official htc wm6.1 rom.
Right now I'm testing the pda without any additional software installed, and up to this point I haven't noticed the audio bug. I'll wait some more and see
Nice.
Check my list of installed programs.
I have NO audio, BT or GPS problems at all...
i have the same problem with wm 6.5 roms. when i install any 6.5 rom. my polaris goes to silent.. then i reinstall any 6.1 rom it works fine..
Try other WM 6.5 ROM... if you have to...
Same problem here, with 6.1 roms bepe's one an the oficial of movistar (here in spain).
And no other adicional programs instaled. (except TomTom)
