hi -
the problems: since flashing 2 weeks ago my vario III only works for voice and data in gsm only mode - with 3G enabled i generally can't make or receive a call or connect to data, but the device . Everything works when i switch to GSM only...
The complications/wierdness: straight after flashing a new rom or radio i have sometimes been able to get the device to connect to 3G or make a call - but this usually only last for one session or so.
What i've done: i've installed just about every combination of ROM and Radio i can find - including all of the 6.1 radios with Dutty's 6.1, the "official" vodafone 6.1 rom, alex's, schaps, and i've tried going back to 6.0 roms and the 1.27.12.32 and .11 radios but still the same
what is the verdict? bricked? or am i missing something....

I don't think it's bricked.. if it was bricked your device wouldn't even turn on.
Did you hard reset after each flash?
Was it working before your original flash?
answers to both: yes
- working fine before i flashed it
- I've been obeying Dutty's rebooting advice - how could I ignore instruction given in bold AND capitals?
I'm having the same problems. Thinking of putting origional ROM with radio back on and removing hardspl and returning under warrenty but cant find origional splash screen anywhere! Help would be appreciated
had the same problem with my tilt...changed sim card ...different roms ...radios ...basically everthing i could do....but in the end called at&t and they sent me a replacement...goodluck
I had a similiar situation but with my GPS.
The Tilt I bought just 1 month ago was a GPS Champ, always acquired a lock quick. I had flashed XDA-Live v1.5 right over the at&t 1.62 Rom (after HardSPL of course).
Then I used th enew SIM/CID Unlocker (with the hacked Polaris Radio) and of course flashed back to the at&t Radio (from the leaked at&t 1.60 Rom).
Since then I had a coupel of times where the GPS locked-up and required a soft reset.
So yesterday I flashed a WM6.1 Rom and a Niki Radio as I've seen a lot of user report excellent results.
It made my GPS useless. I quickly reflashed XDA Live v1.5 (with the Radio from the at&t 1.60 Rom) but my GPS still seemed lost.
Ironically today is day #29 of the 30 on this Tilt so last night I removed HardSPL and flashed the Official at&t 1.62 Released Rom using the Official exe and everything figuring I'd returnt he unit today.
Wouldn't you know it, I tested the GPS and even on the untouched at&t Rom it was working better than it had ever worked before!
Now I know that the Radio in at&t 1.60, 1.61 & 1.62 are *supposed* to be the exact same but I can say that the over from at&t 1.62 fixed a problem that the 1.60 Rom's radio couldn't. Yes, I do a hard reset after each flash already.
Heck when my daughters return from Disney I'm going to flash the 1.62 version fo the at&t Radio onto my oldest's Kaiser and see if it improved her GPS also.
seems like everyone who replied has a tilt not a VIII. Are you sure your settings are correct for your network? that would be my first guess at this point input them manually and dont use the connection wizard app as sometimes it doesnt work right. also check your phone settings make sure its set to AUTO or UTMS only if all else falls force it into 3G mode using the Band settings post your results back please

hey I am having a similar problem at my house when i first got my tilt i have a very strong 3G signal here. That tilt messed up sent it in and this new one that i got worked just fine till i flashed a new rom on it now it wont pick up 3G unless i go somewhere else and come back to my apt. And yes i HardSPL'ed it and hard reset after flashing. I even went back to stock tilt rom and that didn't work. I have tried all the radio's on this forum from stock to the new imported NIKI radio's nothing has brought it back. When I go get the 3G signal elsewhere and comeback god forbid i have to soft reset because there goes 3G out the window and locked to edge. Should i return to AT&T for an exchange or is there a fix i'm not finding?

The Tilt Roms by default don't allow manual band selection.
Bad Data settings wouldn't cause poor reception just inability to connect (regardless of 3G or Edge/Gprs) for data sessions.
Based on my experience I would say first test is to do the work and reset your phone to the latest shipped Carrier Rom for your Carrier and see if your problems persist.
When I was having my GPS issues I also had a few wierd Call issues like calls not disconnecting (I had to toggle the phone radio to actually end the call).

I had the same issue with a t-mobile(UK) viii. The issue appeared after a while using the phone before I'd got into flashing different ROMS. In the end, i had the unit swapped out and the problems went away and have not returned. You can assume its a hardware issue. I went through the is it your SIM, is it this... is it that... after explaining that basically i was right next to a 3G transceiver in a big city.
Like I mentioned, this was a fault which developed after two months of no issues.
Old hardware version (looking under battery cover):
DATE:061107(TB02)/EU
New phone:
date:090807(RB01)/EU
I have had the same issue. I have returned the phone today and exchanged on my insurance. the new phone works fine.
thanks for all the feedback - shame there isn't a fix ..
austinsnyc: thanks for your help...
- i was using the connection wizard (difference i've noticed was that it includes a proxy server which i don't when i set up manually) so i created a new connection manually
- i've changed to 3G-only and i got "no service" (though i have previously got it to work)
- i put it on auto, it registered 2G then showed 3G signal in the taskbar. Tried to connect to my manually created connection - no joy: "cannot connect for an unknown reason etc".... then i got "no signal" for about 30 seconds, then full bars of gsm, then shows 3G again....
changed back to gsm only - works fine.
I'm not exactly sure t-mobile are going to take it back!... i'll have to hunt down the original t-mobile uk rom first....
got my new tilt in yesterday and it works totally fine like i thought in my apt. If you could wilbur i would definitely get a new one i think its the phone itself.
lol so i checked to see if switching off the 3g on my new kaiser then switching back would cause the same problem and it sure did so now im stuck with edge in my damn apt. again. I wonder if these new kaiser's they're shipping out are different than the old ones, when i first bought mine at launch oct.5, 07 i could switch back and forth between 3g. Now with 3 new tilts i have gotten i cant do it anymore this blows Damn i should have never given that first one away damn
so annoying...
i upgraded to the latest Dutty Rom (the 6.1 hybrid) - sure enough, straight away after flashing i was able to use 3G to make and receive calls, and to make a data call (but it was really slow)... then, within 30 minutes, i was back to the old phone: cannot connect a 3G call and no connection to data... so annoying - i'd almost prefer it didn't work at all than tempt me with the prospect that one day i'll find a rom that works...
anyway - I'm going to need to replace it - anyone know which rom/radio combo i'd need to flash to convince the guys at T-Mobile to take my VIII back? and btw - does anyone have any experience of trying to return handsets covered in scratches?
can anyone tell me if these problems are linked to Flashing ROMS? Since i had my last Vario 3 replaced ive been apprehensive about flashing if this is what broke the last one but i really want to flash it again.
Ive read about the connectivity issues with the HTC Sensation but it was in regards to slowness but my phone is acting crazy!!!
I went through a couple pages of thread and couldnt find anything in regards to data connectivity turning on and off over and over every couple of seconds.
I had it for 2 days with no problem, then ported over my old number (from t-mobile also) and my phone will not keep a data connection for more than a couple seconds on and off.
So i call T-mobile 3 times and did some research online about them changing the IMEI, and the sim card change and the "fix" but nothing seems to work. Just going in an out of 4g/2g nothing over and over and over and over. My wifi works fine though
Awesome phone, but I would love for the data to actually work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you done a factory reset? This will erase all data and apps and reset all things to factory settings. Are you on a custom rom?
Nope, just got the phone about 2 days ago, so i havent toyed around with it yet. I havent done a factory reset yet. I'll try that
Same issue, might have a defective phone or something.
I have no idea what I did. Just got my infuse, flashed to GingerBread and then flashed a kernal with CWM. I then flashed an ICS kernal to flash CM10. I got CM10 flashed and everything was working perfect. And then about 4 hours into using my phone my data and cell service shuts off. Also it shows bars like I have service but it wont send or receive calls or texts. Theres no H or 3/4g icon either. Im not in airplane mode, mobile data is ticked on. I flashed back to stock GB and its stilling doing the same thing.... anyone have any idea what is going on here? How could my radio just stop working .... Please help me out!
EDIT- alright wtf i tried to call someone and it says" your device has been blocked from network use " ...... I think I found the issue time to call up ATT

Maybe att is down/working on tours in your area??? I'm really kinda clueless my self since you said you went back to stock and still had the same problem...
Go to settings, about phone, status and check and make sure your imei still looks normal
Could also maybe be a hardware failure?

i was scared that my imei was going to be blank but it looks normal im on the phone with them now and they said my phone number was suspended temp. apparently the phone i bought on CL was stolen but they dont even have the IMEI for my infuse .... they said im still using my atrix 2 .... what the **** .. Man im really pissed
EDIT - ugh what the hell the phone was reported stolen so my number is black listed for 24 hours and ATT is investigating it to see if i can use the phone . Today is one bad day ... shouldve just bought a nexus from google .
Get Google Voice and set it up on you PC. Select a new number and then get an app like Talkatone and continue on without AT&T.
I've been having a lot of trouble lately getting my data to work. I turn it on and can send pictures and receive them, I get 4g and everything is fine. But when I turn data on and try to surf the Web or check reddit or try and use Pandora on my phone I cannot get data to work. I'm running v23 PAC and I've tried installing the latest radio but the best I ever get for data for regular use is 1x. I know I'm in a 3g/4g because I know of 3 people with Verizon gs3s and if we all stand side by side everyone is getting 3g or 4g and I cannot even get 1x. Any ideas?

I had the opposite problems I couldn't send mms but everything else work fine data make calls jst could not send mms i was on pac man niteless i did wipe cache dalvik still no go reflash gaaps and no reflash rom n gaaps.. U can try factory reset then reflash rom and gaaps.. I gt tired after two hrs of trying to figure it out i gave up and went back to liquidsmooth 3.0 beta
I'm on Liquid 2.9 now, with no issues sending mms with or without wifi on which I keep reading about. The problem you are talking about with signal levels I had a few flashes ago. I went through a few roms to end up here but I had that problem come back with different roms both TW and AOSP. I toggled my network settings to gsm, turned roaming on, then pulled battery and sim out for 5 minutes or so. Loaded them back in the phone, went back to network settings and toggled back to LTE, and roaming off. Seems to help lock on to the 4g signal for me. Don't know if it will help or not but I hope so.
If you switch roms again you might try to wipe both caches, data reset and wipe the system a couple times before flashing something new. **Just a suggestion that seems to help clear up any left over scraps from previous flashing for me, of course backup like always and it sucks when phones brick but it happens.
As the title states, my 4g isn't working, i took a trip out to pittsburgh, while downtown i had terrible coverage. i dropped my phone at one point and noticed a while later that my 4g wasn't working when i did have service. Got back home and i still had no 4g. I have tried factory reseting phone, flashing a ruu back to stock, taking the ota updates, flashing new firmware, and getting and activating a new sim card. I am at my wits end trying to figure this out. im thinking my hardware is broken at this point, but it is still coming up that i get 3g. the data speed is so bad i basically only use it on wifi now. i dont want to have to take it to verizon and have them tell me im sol if they find out was playing with it(root, recovery, roms, etc...) anybody have any input would be most appreciated.
This isn't likely to help if it was caused by physical damage but have you done a factory reset with the stock recovery installed (or after ruu'ing)?
Just tried the reset with the factory recovery. And via hboot. Still stuck on 3g. During the reset via recovery though I kept getting a message saying something to the extent of "No "E" partition found. Cannot format. Retrying." I also used to run an aosp rom as well. That's when I noticed the lack of 4g.
