temporarily unavailable despite max signal strength?!, but can make outgoing calls

Am I the only one in the world with this problem:
Sometimes nobody can call me - they get the "temporarily unavailble" message. And I don`t even get to notice not being reachable . But I can always make outgoing calls, any time. This problem does not have anything to do with radio signal strength, I tested that!
Now I tested the SIM in another phone, and it seems I`m not having that problem. So it must have something to do with the S710.
But it`s not even logical, or ist it?!
And I can`t even rely on soft-resets: sometimes this f***ing problem is still existent after a soft-reset.
How can I be unreachable while I could make a call at the same time????
This drives me mad! I cannot use the S710 anymore as long as this is not fixed.
Any suggestions?

I'm sure you've checked this, but you don't have any diverts setup do you?

uummm,...
I am not sure what you mean, to be honest.
but the Phone is not "tuned" in any way.
I have no additional programs installed or overclocked the phone. and for 3 months in usage before, I did not have this malfunction (asaik).
Let me state, that I always have bluetooth turned off.

Could you look up what radio and ROM version you have?! Where did you buy it and what language is it?

"CE-ROM update versionen":
Operator: 5.2.1235.17740
"Funkempfängerversion (= Radio Version):
4.1.13.37_02.83.90
Provider Orange
Language German

ROM-Version 1.16.407.1
Radio-version 4.1.13.37_02.83.90

I saw your Post on MoDaCo, did this help you? Otherwise you might wanna flash a new ROM?!

you might want to do a hard reset b4 reflashing!

I still am collecting advices. So far I haven`t taken any steps to solve the problem despite asking in different portals.
So you think, I should prefer flashing a new ROM instead of or before installing that Bluetooth Hotfix by HTC?
Is there a ROM version that is known to be "the best" or "the worst"?

No no try the hotfix first! Way less work to do! And safer anyways! I fyou're satisfied with your ROM then there is no need to flash!

Can't turn on the bluetooth

hello,
unfortunately i cannot turn on the bluetooth from comm manager, it turns on and after 1 second is off again.
any solution for this problem?
thanks.

I have had this problem before and unfortunately am having it again. Only solution I have ever found for this is a hard reset and then reinstalling all your apps. If you try to restore from a backup from Sprite Backup, for instance, the problem remains. This would lead me to believe that it's a setting or a registry issue somewhere but I haven't been able to locate exactly what would be causing it and don't know enough about programming in WM to write something to figure it out.
Not a great answer but there it is.

Hi, I have a Uk version of the touch cruise and I have the same problem. I just did a hard reset but the problem remains. Turning bluetooth on is impossible. It just try's to turn it on and shuts it off immediately.
Maybe it has something to do with GPRS? I am always connected to the internet. I tried to disconnect but then bluetooth still doesn't work. Can anyone help? Thnx!

No one has a clue?

I had this prob with bluetooth and wifi following the use of wmwifirouter- after hard reset and no wmwifi all goes well...
On a French SFR rom

any other idea?

Same problem... beginning to wish I'd gone all Apple and bought an iPhone. Anyway.... To trun it on, I had to go to Comm Manager>Settings>Bluetooth>Mode>Turn on Bluetooth. That worked despite the Comm Manager still showing Bluetooth as "off".
It only connects 1/2 the time to my headset or handsfree in the car
Otherwise, the phone crashes only once a day! Great! Thanks!

ok, great to see more people having the same problem but i hope that someone has a sollution...
When I try to turn bluetooth on in the communications settings i get a message saying there is a hardware error! :S
Ohw btw, I'm not using any router programs or other and my WIFI works fine.

has anybody of you having this problem tried to change to another rom?
if yes? did this worked?

any news on this?

No news, I don't want to try for a different rom because i don't think it will change anything. It just seems like its a faulty device which is a real shame. I've already contacted the place where i bought it and see if i can get a new one.
I also have problems with my microphone during calls, photo camera does often not work and the touchpad reacts very slowly to my touches. Very annoying!!!!

Yup, am returning mine to HTC aswell. Not even sure I want it back. WiFi stopped working too, and then it stopped receiving text messages, and everyone said they couldn't hear me when I called them. Great

Some of you guys got a bad device, there are thousands out there working properly.
If some of you guys flashed a newer Radio, the one form the test-ROM, then this is your problem.
And some of you guys have a quite gay branded ROM (slow responsiveness of touchpad). The original HTC ROM on the FTP and even more so a cooked ROM would solve alot of your problems. But be aware, flashing without having a backup ready is going to void your warranty if you want to exchange it having a custom/non-original ROM on the device.

What's up Schaggo
I am experiencing the same problem these gentlemen are mentioning and my ROM is not gay or lesbian. It is the original one.
TC is my 7th HTC device and I can see the quality of the ROMs decreasing a lot on every new device. I feel like HTC needs a real competitor to move up its arse quicker.
All I can say is that it really annoys me to hard reset this [email protected] everytime I "accidentally" use a native feature called Flight Mode. By bluetooth seems to fly away and never get back.
Lots of time the GPRS settings have to be reconfigured too. Some people I know have problems with GMail IMAP4 accounts when sending messages after some time. I never had this problem on my Kaiser neither on my Niki.
The lack of a video driver really is an egg on our faces, because I can't believe my ole Qtek 9100 responds quicker than these "all the bells and whistles" Qualcomm 7200 super-duper geared up devices.
So, if you feel like not contributing, please do not mess around.
Your signature tells me you are a wise man, but your comments show me otherway.

Hi
I've tried many custom rom and the PB continue. "PB with the hardware oh BT".
Hard reset doent change anything.
my initial rom (SFR France) was working
custom rom (blackwidow + Bepe 058) are buging...
nedd some help !

Thanks alot for that input feaps. I guess I have to clarify a little bit.
My answer was supposed to be pointing in different directions. The first and general information I tried to contribute was, that it is not a common Polaris problem to have a broken Bluetooth unit. Which doesn't help at all to ppl affected, but it should tell them, that they probably got a bad device and should exchange it first before blameing htc in general and shouting for an iPhone.
It only was partially directed at specific persons. At madinga for example: did you try hardresetting your device? It could be a corruption in your system which causes all those problems. I doubt it though, if you suffer the loss of so many functions at the same time I suspect the mainboard to be broken. But nonetheless, hardreset it, see if its working, BEFORE you put your backup back on the device again since that could restore the corruption. If it doesnt work, exchange your unit, I hope you'll get a working one back.
My second line was directed at all people which have overwritten their original Radio with the 1.58.25.14 originating from the HTC Test ROM which can be found on the ftp server. The Bluetooth part of that Radio is flawed and leads to the problems described in this thread. I quite nicely pointed that out and told people where to have a look before shouting around. I do know that because I tried it myself and couldnt get my Bluetooth devices working. Once I flashed the original Radio back, my BT problems were gone.
And my third line - in which I may chose the wrong words, 'gay' for example - holds information targeted at people with for example the branded french SFR ROM or the original HTC french ROM. The SFR ROM is just horribly branded and if you go through the threads here you'll find people complaining about problems which then turn out to be related to the ROM. The french HTC ROM is flawed as well, it has severe problems with the volume control. I don't exactly remember what it was, but it's a flawed ROM, thats for sure. The German o2 ROM isnt flawless either, I know that because I originally had that ROM. Once I flashed my orbit 2 with the original HTC WWE ROM, I found it to be working alot better and smoother than with the o2 ROM originally provided. And this is where my last line comes into play: if you suffer problems related to your currently flashed ROM, they could be diminished by flashing an alternative ROM. But if your device is broken, and I personally and strongly believe that everybody fooling around in this forum should be intelligent enough and able to determine the sense of my words, eg. if he/she suffers a ROM problem or if the device just simply is dead and take appropriate actions.
And now to your contribution feaps. I feel personally attacked by your words. Thats why I defended my words in all the paragraphs above. Trust me, I've had enough mobile devices of all sorts to know what it means to get a not working once. Its frustrating and makes you want to throw it out of the window. And being able to see the quality decrease over time is just another drop on a hot stone. I agree. But be honest, if your BT unit works and stopps working once you engage a software based function, the problem is software related, dont you think? As for the GPRS settings, I cant tell. Since I use a free ROM which has the wizard built in (o2 removed it from their ROM) I didnt switch my SIM and the configuration worked, automatically and every single time. And I do use IMAP as well on my personal E-Mail account. Until now I didnt run across any problems, so I cant give you any feedback on that either.
So rethink again if I mess around or not or if I actually try to contribute and help the freshmen, coming into this forum and flashing whatever they find and breaking their devices. And recommending to flash the original HTC ROM, which should be/is the base for everything floating around, breaking your devices, is a serious input to everybody.
Edit: I forgot to add, pointed at nooms, there are cooked ROMs out there which stupidly have the new, flawed Radio baked in. Which Radio are you on? Try Start > Settings > Tab System > Device Information > Tab Version. Are you inadvertedly still on Radio 1.58.25.14 or back to (original) 1.58.21.23?

Hi everyone,
I agree with Schaggo completely. Most of the time problems have something to do with the software on the device. But I a not a tweaker like most of you guys, i've just bought my first (and hopefully not last) HTC phone. If i have problems of some kind, all i can do is reset the thing. A hard reset if necessary. I've done that many times. I can't change the software that comes standard and i don't think i should be the one who has to do that. Shouldnt HTC be doing that??
Anyway, Bluetooth keeps saying it has an hardware error. My radio version is a standard 1.58.21.23 but isnt finding any radiostations here in holland. Is it also broken? (sorry, i know, its a bit off topic)

You're right

Well put. Sorry for being rude, but I keep seeing people offending others day after day in this forum that used to be high level; but that doesn't mean I should act the same way.
I totally misread you and please accept my apologies.
My ROM is: 1.25.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 12/11/07
Radio Version: 1.58.21.23
Protocol Version: 25.65.30.04H
One thing I could notice is that HTC has a flaw in the Flush HKCU to Permanent Memory While Shutting Down. Some keys are not written.
One example is the MagiCall (an app I use) registration key. The software maker had to write a flush app for doing that. Another example is the Start>Settings>System>Error reporting. No matter what you chose, after a power cycle or a soft reset, it always go back to "Disable...".
I have, also, already tested the device after the hard reset with no extra apps on it. Same lame behavior on BT...
So, SW QA levels are really dropping fast on new HTC models. That is pretty bad.
But anyway, I have an open case with HTC and if I find something contributive I will toch base with this thread.
Once again, sorry for being rude.
Best,
-Feaps

Then I guess you most probably got a bad unit. I guess the only solution at this time is an exchange.
The Radio-Firmware doesnt control the FM Radio btw The Radio-Firmware controls connections to the providers network, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth. But the FM Radio seems to be really bad in the Polaris, a lot of ppl I know complain about it.

No problem dude! There is no need for such an excessive appology. We are in a Forum and people have different oppinions and I think its totally acceptable to shout at each other. I just wanted to express that I'm not in accord regarding your judgement of my post. But thanks a lot, I seriously really appreciate it!
Yes, your device seems pretty standard to me and the scenario you described logically made me think of a software error. But this seems very unlikely now. I'm out of ideas for the moment then, I guess you have to return or exchange it too.
You are perfectly right about the dropping SW QA though. You can notice the registry glitch in other areas as well: backlight timer always reset to 30 sec, and there are more settings all over the place which don't get saved properly.
Again, no problem, everybody lets be cool

Bluetooth doesn't turn on
I have the same problem. Did anyone find a solution?
Also camera fails to initialize, touch pad is sometimes very slow for initial reaction. I have NO added programs beyond manafacturer originals and have tried a number of hard resets. Doesn't help.

problem because unlocking, then unable to use gps receiver

Hello,
Some posts might have already discussed this, but I am not very good with gadgets, and I have a specific problem which I need help with, so I thought it is better to start a new thread.
So this is my story. (by the way, my phone is HTC TyTn II)
I unlocked my phone in other country and apparently the software on my phone is now for HTC touch dual (I think - because everytime I switched it on, it says Touch Dual).
I used to be able to use bluetooth before and now,I can't.
Then, I was trying to download a gps sofware (or whatever you call it) on my phone - it is called miomap. I can view the map but it does not detect where I am like a normal GPS/tomtom would.
My questions are:
(and I am sorry if this questions sounds too dumb. I try to read and get the answers from other thread and websites, but I am too dumb in this stuff to take them in)
1. Do i need GPS receiver to be able to use it as GPS system? As at the back of it, there is word saying GPs, andd looks like I can connect it to something.
2. If I don't need one, what should I do?
3. Do you reckon I should download the original software for TYtn II?
Please help me, and thanks for your help in advance.

R 1.64.06.04 (is it safe to publish this no here? u know, just in case )
by the way, i tried to use my friends bluetooth gps receiver, first it doesnt work, then i found this software called GPS2blue. downloaded it then tried again with the receiver, and it works!!!!!
so does it not come with built in receiver? i thought it does. its just much easier if i dont have to use it - too many things to charge and carry around. but if thats the only solution, then what more can i do.
speaking of radio, that is one function that was lost with the phone after the sofware is changed to touch dual
btw, thanks for ur kind help. keep helping.

Hands Free Activation Fix

SPRINT PHONES ONLY
Let me preface by saying I no longer own a TP2. So I cannot say it works 100% for all phones or anything. However the fix was developed in partner with HTC. So take that for whats it's worth. I ran into the HFA issue when I was camping last July and in a weak, low signal area. Had to hard reset when I was back in the "real world" and wait a day for my phone to work right again. I ended up getting an EVO in October and forgot about this.
However on SprintUsers, member MSU94, found this info while searching for a solution. Just thought I had to let ya'll know. Hopefully this will help people with the issue. Says it's not a guaranteed fix, but works for most. Hopefully some of you will benefit from it. The directions say to download the files from their site and it will prompt a soft reset. I don't know if you can just run the cabs, I assume you can. I attached them just in case. There is a 6.1 and 6.5 version, so be sure to use the proper cab.
If I helped, throw a thanks my way. Use these at your own risk of course.

Info from site
Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 Hands Free Activation Fix
Here are the two HTC FIX products for resolving the Hands Free Activation error on your device. These are ONLY for Touch Pro 2 Devices on the Sprint network, do NOT use on any other devices. Please download the correct file, depending on the Windows Mobil version installed on your device. See instructions for further details. Important Note: The device will automatically soft reset upon finishing installation.
Instruction for Downloading HTC Fix for the Hands Free Activation Issue
For Sprint Touch Pro 2 Devices ONLY
When and Why a device would need the HTC Fix
HCHB would like to make you aware of an issue with the HTC Touch Pro 2 devices on the Sprint network which can cause the device to enter Hands Free Activation (HFA) mode inappropriately. A device that has entered HFA mode will be sluggish and various applications, including PointCare, may not open. These symptoms are not to be confused with common slow performance and or battery length issues.
It appears that this issue occurs most frequently when the device is being used in rural areas or when the device attempts to reconnect to the Sprint network after being out of the coverage area. HCHB has collaborated with Sprint and HTC engineers to develop a patch to stop the HFA from invoking in these instances. The patch appears to be effective in most, but not all, cases. Therefore, we urge you to inform your Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 users to regularly sync and back up their visits, especially if they frequent rural areas.
Where to find the HTC Fix
Please go to HCHB.com/downloads on your device, and download one of the two HTC Fix files.
Additionally, it’s IMPORTANT that you download the correct version of the HTC Fix. Depending on which Windows Mobil version you have (6.1 or 6.5) on your device, will determine whether you should download the 6.1 or 6.5 HTC Fix. On the site you will see two HTC Fix Downloads, please download the file that corresponds with the Windows Mobil version you have.
In order to find out which Windows Mobil version you have on your device, please follow the iteration path below on your phone:
Start–Settings–All Settings–System (could be a tab or file)–About
How to Download the HTC Fix
First you must navigate to the download site on you device, and then double click on the HTC Fix you wish to download. You will be asked by the device to allow the file to download, please allow it. At the end of the download the device will inform you that it must SOFT RESET it order to finish downloading, please say yes, your device will soft reset automatically.
Once the device boots back up, your phone will be finished installing the HTC Fix!

thank u very much. will try

No problem. Hopefully this has resolved the issue, or kept this issue from happening for you guys.

[Q] WIFI/ICS problem with Wp7.8 HD7

My HD7 is not identifying any WIFI network and ICS shows "Internet Sharing isn't currently available"
This problem is there with wp7.8 only, its not there in previous versions...
Please help me! :crying:

If doing a hard reset doesn't fix that, then reflash the rom...
what rom are you using?

I've tried all 7.8 ROMS..
Not even a single 7.8 ROM fixes this problem..
In Earlier versions, WIFI and ICS are working properly..
Only in 7.8 ROMS, its not working

Sorry but...
That's B.S.
I'm using Dynamics V2.0 and I used ICS, and no problem with it, the same with Deepshining ROMs, they work.
Remember that the ICS option uses password security unless you don't want that.

I realise that language may be totally acceptable where you come from but to many, telling them that they are speaking "BS" might come across as being quite offensive.
there is clearly a problem otherwise the OP wouldn't have posted the question, So its not "BS" but the answer may be simple or even a misunderstanding, talk it through with them, perhaps you may provide an answer, perhaps its a device specific problem.
Just a wee word of advice, that's all!
happy new year my friends!

Dear Friends,
I'm still having this issue.. Please help me!!

I had a similar problem on my Nokia Lumia 710 after flashing a custom ROM (I don't remember which, maybe Rataplan?) but I solved it by downloading the Nokia Network Setup app from the Marketplace, which automatically setup my APN for data. I think HTC has a similar one called HTC Connection Manager, so I would try that. Hope that helps!

Dear phantomsniper,
Thanks for reply. But you are talking about Data connection. But my problem is with the WIFI and Internet sharing. My data connection is working fine. Please let me know if you have any workaround for this issue.
Regards,
Karty

That's the strange thing actually. My data connection on the phone worked fine, but the internet connection sharing didn't. After running the Network Setup app, both worked perfectly. I don't know why, but my assumption is that Windows Phones have two sets of APNs. One for regular data and one for internet sharing.
In my case, I think the ROM had the AT&T APN for regular data, but not the one for internet sharing, so the Nokia app fixed that. I've never owned an HTC windows phone, so I can't comment on how they may work. I guess it's worth a try though. I hope this helps, and good luck!

did anyone find a fix for this issue?
idk, I've updated to 7.8 (8862) and used it for more than 1 year, no WiFi or Bluetooth issues
while most users had this problem after they've updated to 7.8 take a look at this discussion with Microsoft Support
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...e/a15a3040-72e9-447f-8aaf-f1326bbf6b4a?page=6
I tried to flash an old stock rom, it worked.! but only for few hours :/
I tried to flash custom 7.8 roms nor NWA or Deepshining fixed it
well I've noticed that if you repeatedly do a hard reset for many times it works! but only for few minutes,, I'm not sure but it seems that WiFi fails again right after phone been locked or goes to standby mode.
pleeeeease, if someone have found a fix for this, or can do a workaround to fix this issue, please share it with us.
