Hi!
I'm soooooo damn tired facing thousands of radio issues day in and day out
I'm using radio rom 1.15 and i find it extremely buggy . I looked through the forums and noone seems to be complaining, so i wonder if i'm the jinx here :/
The problems i face are -
1. All of a sudden i cant make calls. It throws a notification popup saying "The call has failed". Thanks! The only way out....restarting the radio. And yea, thats a nightmare too....going to comm manager, switching of phone, and switching it back on....the damn thing doesnt work right AT ALL! I switch it off....and push the button again to turn it back on, nothing happens....i push it again and again and again a million times....it gets too painful. So what do i do instead? soft reset
2. My gprs connectivity goes for a toss every now and then. again, the same ordeal....it never connects until i soft reset or restart the radio.
3. The worst part, when the phone module has taken a crap....i.e....reached a state where no calls go thru (refer problem 1.), i cant even receive incoming calls! The person calling me gets a ringing tone, but my phone's a dead corpse here. All messages sent to me are "apparently delivered" but nothing shows up here....
Is it just me?
Is there a better radio rom?
I restart my phone roughly 5 times a day, once in the morning when i wake up WITHOUT FAIL....and all this is getting to me really bad :-/

Well i see you are from Banglore,im from Hyderabad,i have been using the 1.15 radio for ome time now with the pdav latest rom(.09) sometimes my phone acts a little strangely like when receiving a call sometimes the incoming call icon stays there for about 10sec before the screen comes on the call status one.I switched over to radio 1.09 which i found the most stable on my O2 exec,but in my experience radio roms also behave differently depending on location,and also the os system try to use 1.09 as i found it the best for me in India.
Radio versions works differently depending on your location.
Try other radio versions.
Or better yet, just use the radio version that came with your device.
Do not upgrade your radio unless your having problems with it.
Like our friend here at xda-developers said, "If it's not broken, don't fix it."

Radio Rom?
If you are still having issues, also post back your OS Rom that you are running, this may also have some bearing on the underlying issues.
Cheers,

Using radio 1.15:
With Ivan's base it causes my device to experience problems with the phone and GPRS\3G
With Midget's base everything seems to work fine
(btw I have an O2 Exec - Just suggesting that it may be the differences in hardware...)
dreamtheater39:
Same problem here.... Since I (sim) unlocked my MDA-Pro I'm experiencing EXACTLY the same problems as you have.
I posted several items on this forum, no success till now.
I'm thinking of reassembeling my old MDA-Pro, which is sim locked but screen broken. replacing the screen with my new (sim) unlocked MDA-Pro and see if the radio problem is still there. Just to exclude if the problem can be (sim) unlocking the phone...
But it is VERY anoying, I must agree...

arjan
Also,.. I've tried almoast every Radio rom!! still no success.. even te Original T-Mobile rom (ROm and radio) give me problems...
So can it be the Sim unlocking (V1 by Buzzdev)?

Hi,
I doubt it is the SIm unlock.
I used Buzz's too, originally many Rom flashes past that.
I have Exec with Radio 15 and customised Rom with Midgets as base and no issues at all.
I would advise finding out what the latest Radio Ver offered by Manufac for your model and try that one for a bit.
Perhaps we should start a poll as to what each user is using and record Radio and OS Rom info with a comments section for any issues noted. It would at least help stablise WM6 builds.

That damn radio issue!
I think it is time to stop discussing whether there is an issue and start looking for a fix!
First off: basically all HTC-phones have had a similar probblem, going back to the MDA 2. The key problem has been, that the data connection does not properly switch between mobile cells when you are on the move.
My device loses data connection every time I go into the parking garage, where there is no reception. Also, when I'm sitting in an area with very poor UMTS-coverage, the MDA-PRO loses connection after a few successful switches to GPRS. BTW: You can see you have a problem when Active Sync on the MDA says "Waiting for Network".
This wasn't such an issue as long as we didn't have the data connection constantly on. But, latest with the MS-Pushmail this has changed - the data connection is always on.
HTC and the operators have seemingly been working on this issue for quite some time. The only ROM on the MDA-PRO that was quite stable on this was actually the last T-Mobile WM-5 ROM.
With WM6 we are back to the issue. I no longer believe it is a problem with the Radio-ROM. Most likely is that there are differences in the driver dll. THis might explain why Midget's ROM seems to be better than IVAN's.
So, guys start troubleshooting!
Yes dreamtheater, are you running WM6? It is WM6 that seems to display these problems, regardless of the Radio. If I roll back to the official T-Mobile Rom (WM5) or Orange Rom (WM5) my problems disappear
HA!
Finally some usefull information. But very strange, buying a very expensive devise, but not being able to make a proper phonecall with it....
a.
YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I installed Radio 1.09 and so far sooooooooooo good!!!! None of the issues i mentioned, it works like a charm!!!
The only noticable issue i've found a couple times is, the gprs automatically disconnects once in a while, but i can ask it to reconnect and it does so without a fuss! Wowwwweeee!!!!
A BIGGG thanks to Arvind09 for this!!!!
So guys, i guess you got to try all radio roms and find which one works best for you, no other go as i see it
Cheers!

OH CRAP!!!!!!!!! I SPOKE TOOOOO SOON
Woke up early morning and the damn things crapped again :-/
The sobbing continues
If you tried different Radio Version and still does not work, it is time you change a service provider, provided you are sure that your hardware never had problems before.
Bangalore is a big city, coverage should be good, could it be the part of area you are in has bad coverage, try asking you friends about service provider other than your current one in that particular area.
If changing provider still does not work, make a complaint to the providers, it nothing improves, its time you need to move somewhere else.
I have the same issue when I keep the Radio Band in Auto mode (GSM/3G) I change my phone to GSM and it is better.
Ye, I did the same too. only switch manually to 3G when needed. I almost forgot about this point.
Furthermore, GSM mode makes the battery last more days than 3G mode.
encountered the same probs, 4 me radio 1.12 is the most stable one (I believe it's an exotic/not commonly used version)
I have been struggeling with this since the first WM6 Pre-release ROM came out on this forum. Tried all the radio ROMs available, without succes. As said, the only ROM that does not suffer from this, is the latest WM5 ROM.

Ok could you tell me which provider are subscribed to? I use Airtel and hutch on both my pocket pc(universal and orbit)Ive noticed that airtel tends to loose its signal whereas hutch has never given me a problem.for this reason i use hutch on the Uni,though i cannot say that im very happy with their service,they are any day much better tha Airtel and Idea both.Also try to change the rom and see if the problem still persists.
Hi Guys,
I am having a strangle problem with my VOX. The phone's radio is getting turned off every now and then.
The phone will show full network signal and the very next second the signal bar becomes empty followed by an automatic turn off and turn on of the phone's radio. Sometimes it keeps on restarting the phone's radio for 5 to 6 times. It is driving me crazy as most of the time when someone calls me, my phone is in the switch off mode and I never realize that unless I am staring at my phone. And it is happening at least once or twice an hour.
I upgraded my phone to the latest ROM version 1.34.405.1 but still getting the problem. Actually I feel the problem has become worst now after the upgrade.
Any thoughts on what could be causing it?
Thanks!
that doesn't sound familiar
did you try with the original radio version too?
What radio version do you have? There are updates on the ftp! ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Smartphone/Vox/Radios
The radio version I have is Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90.
I had the same issue (not so frequent) with my previous radio also. I guess it was 4.1.13.41. That came with the phone when I bought it.
But one thing I noticed; when I am in the office I am not encountering this issue (at least not for the last 8 hours) but when I am at home, this issue appears very frequently. Wondering whether there could be any network parameter trigerring this behavior.
maybe its the networks issue
you should try to compare the readings you get from the service menu at the office and at home, and give them a call
>>you should try to compare the readings you get from the service menu at the office and at home, and give them a call
What reading are you talking about? Also, how can I collect that?
Thanks again for all your thoughts.
he means that you should check the network strength at your workplace and your home.
Hi Guys;
Slightly OT, but hopefully someone can help.
I have recently upgraded the GF from a Nokia 6230i (about 2 years old) to a Orange E650 (Vox) running Dr Martin Gonzo's ROM, which is very nice... The E650 was a refurb that i bought from the Orange Store on ebay.
The issue is that reception at home is far worse than it was on the nokia - and is almost unusable at home... I did a check last night and the radio installed is a very old radio (doesn't appear on the FTP..)
Can anyone suggest what is the best Radio to use that will work with Dr Gonzo's ROM? (and is it a simple job to upgrade )
Cheers
SF
I am using Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 on win 6.1 from Dr Gonzo. I works like a charm.

Same problem, even with all Radios all ROMs....
Goes to searching mode all the time...i don´t know what to do...my unit is still on warranty period...can i do something ?
HELP !
My issue seems to be network related. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I am encountering this issue only when I am at home and everywhere outside the phone is working nicely.
It is kind of making me think whether the network reception capability of the phone has gone down slightly and hence the no network issue when the network is slightly weak.
Decided to make new thread about this instead of waiting for answers in other threads. This experience is based on TMobile Boston area but should apply to TMobile as well as Cingular/ATT in all the corners of US
I have TMobile USA MDA/Wizard G4. Was running on official TMobile WM5 ROM with 2.25.11 radio with no problems for over a year.
Recently flashed to the latest TNT Professional ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414518
Great ROM but got a problem that from what i see on forum some of users have encountered: missed calls
Problem: Very easy to reproduce, leave your phone on but with no activity at all(do not touch screen/any buttons/receive calls) for a periond of 30-40 mins. After that try calling it from another phone, although green button blinks(indicating that the phone is on) it will not ring/vibrate/light up. On the other end it will ring as normal and go to voicemail. If you wake you phone up(pressing top button) it will start receiving calls but will not notify you of missed ones while it was "sleeping".
Experience so far: (these finding were based on latest TNT Professional ROM and might not apply to other ROM's)
Radio Rom:
2.19.11 - No missed calls, below average signal and audio quality
2.25.11(official TMobile) - missed calls, average signal/audio quality
2.37.11 -missed calls, average audio quality, above average signal
2.40.11 - missed calls, average sound quality, great signal
2.47.11 - missed calls, above average signal/audio quality
2.61.11 - missed calls, average sound quality, good signal
2.69.11 - missed calls, great signal/audio quality
2.71.11 - missed calls, best signal/audio quality out of all tested
The fix from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317331 (post #6 - thanks to mmeyer) i did not find it to help in missed calls situations at all.
Question#1: Is there a hybernation mode that is not described in any settings but activates after certain period of time that might be causing the "disconnect" in WM6?
Question#2: There are Tmobile Wing radios available(version 03.07.90, 02.97.90 etc) and since Wing is quite similar to MDA would it be possible to flash those to MDA?
LOOKING FOR RADIO DOWNLOADS, IF ANYONE HAS ANY BESIDES THE ONES MENTIONED ABOVE PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK!!! IT WILL BE PROMPTLY REVIEWED AND FINDINGS POSTED
Any help/input will be appreciated!!!
try all 2.40.11, 2.47.11, 2.61.11 to find the best 4 ur rom!
ty for your help, but that wasnt really a question i am looking for an answer to, did anyone try to use the WING radios on MDA? or will it just brick my phone?
2.37 has not failed me yet. What rom are you using?
I never got missed calls after leaving my phone on my desk at work for hours at a time. What roms have you tried this with?
you can try to fix this by having your email download more often maybe.. I think that it is either your device or rom or carrier network.
In fact I just tried it now after leaving my phone sitting for about 4hrs. it responded to the call just fine.
In fact, 2.19 gave me the worst problems. I missed calls, texts would not pick up signal after I would get out of the subway and so on. I think it is made for a canadian network (Rogers I think) as itsright(TNT) stated.
Used 2.37 for about a year now on both the east coast and west (canyons in San diego have a lot of deadspots that 2.25 would not catch signal often.
I recomend you get rid of both the rom and the radio.
Ty SVI, 2.37 is the one i havent tried it yet, will do today, to answer your questions:

i have tried 2.25, 2.69 and 2.71 so far, all were missing calls, 2.19 is the one that hasnt missed calls in 2 days, but the signal quality and audio are not the best by far. Currently trying 2.47.11. As for device or network, they both worked 100% when was on official wm5. Will try 2.37 and report here
Does anyone have 2.37.11 Radio for download? looked through the ones i have and the closest are 2.40 and 2.25, appreciated!

2.40.11 tested and failed, testing 2.37.11... first post upadted
I experienced the same problem with the 2.71 radio rom. I saw the screen and buttons light up like I was about to recieve a call/text, but then it just displayed one missed call. I reflashed to 2.19 and the problem disappeared.
are you sure the problem is with the radio and not the rom? if you havent tried, how will you know?
2.37.11 missed calls after phone was asleep for 2 hours(passed 2-se on 30min sleep tests) anyone have any other Radios(61, 65, 83) i can test?

I am sure ROM contributes to the problem as well, just want to find the best working radio for TNT's ROM, and then do the same for other ROM's i might like to use(like yours). But need to gather quite a few more Radios before i can proceed, perhaps you can help?

Your issue is ROM Related!
There has been extensive testing about this very issue. The fix by mrfrzzz and the warnings of missed calls is all over this forum and warned about in earlier wm 6.0 builds for the Wizard. Seemed like every Rom that came out had the missed call issue, later Devlopment, and the new Radio 2.71.11 came out, This issue dissapeared. I bet you do not get any missed calls with your carriers OEM rom on your phone! If you do, then I would be sending it back.
I sent my Wizard back twice because of Hardware issues.
The Fix by mrfrzzz was intended for wm.6.0 roms so I doubt that it would work with wm 6.1 roms, maybe I am wrong about that but, I still have my Wizard and let my Daughter use it. She never has missed calls and I have radio 2.71.11 radio on it, I have flashed most of the wm 6.1 roms that have came out and again, I have no missed calls or SMS.
I have Tried every Radio and for me, The very best Radio in my opinion is 2.71.11 and 2.47.11. I have never tried 2.37.11 but if SVI says it is good, it probably is.

As stated in first post i never had missed calls issue with original WM5 Tmobile ROM during over a year of everyday use.

2.71, 2.47 and 2.37 all miss calls with and without the fix as stated in first post. The only one that does not miss calls is still 2.19 radio which leads me to believe that there might be a later radio ROM that would not miss calls as well.
Currently testing 2.61.11 radio and looking for more Radio roms that i have not tested yet(not in the list in the first post)
2.61.11 bites the dust, so still only 2.19.11 is the only one that works, flashing back to it to test more(if that one fails then its 100% ROM fault)
Hi guys,
Right, so I've noticed that when making calls with the Sensation, if they are reaching the 10 minute mark, for absolutely no reason whatsoever the line will just go silent, before the call is dropped. The signal bar doesn't even change.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Cheers,
James
My phone also has dropped calls randomly but on random times I'm sure. Today it did it as well. I don't know why though. I hope to God its not a fault in the phone that can't be fixed with an update. I'd hate switching to s-on and stock recovery.

random call dropping
Hi,
A complete n00b when it comes to Android and first post on this forum. Kindly excuse any inadvertant mistakes.
Thanks to the wonderful forum we have here, I managed to root and get the IC 2.5.3 ROM on my Sensation. And its working like a dream except for one small problem. Big problem really.
Calls keeps dropping, and there have been occassions where I was getting disconnected every 10 seconds. Patterns I noticed :-
1. Voice suddently drops. The call is still on and in about 3-5 seconds call gets disconnected.
2. This happens only in a wi-fi zone (mostly at home). When I am in a wi-fi off zone, this has never happened.
3. This was happening even BEFORE I flashed the custom ROM, (was hoping that the problem would be resolved), but no luck)
4. I suspect its because of an incompatible radio image in my country (India), but what do I know. Could a 4G enabled handset encounter such problems on a 3G network?
5. How can I get to know the best/most compatible radio image for my ROM . ( I searched, but nothing conclusive so far anywhere. I am not able to post in the developer thread because I am newbie )
Please help.

Att service, but never had this many Droped calls. 6 years and this the only phone i've had this many Droped calls., now the question is, is it a device problem or user error. And is anyone else having issues? I've basically tried everything I belive, full wipes, different roms, and radios and rils... Any thoughts would bee much appreciated. Sand sorry if there's a thread at Work didn't have time to search.

I had the same problem but when I switched radios it was fine. Might be a hardware problem.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I had some problems when I was running coredroid v8.1 with the recommended radio, switched to the most up to date radio, 4.21 and matching RIL and have been fine since. I by no means saying CD v8.1 was the cause, just that radio wasn't working in my area. Since then I've been using the same radio with BinDroid and it has been amazing in terms of data speed, GPS, and phone calls. When switching radios/rils, give it time for everything to settle..I know when I made the switch to the new radio, it took about 18 hours or so and then all of sudden calls were fine.
Edit: No scientifically proven that 18 hours was the exact time, but its about that time frame...changed radios..made some calls, phone dropped I think like 2 of the 6 calls I made...got mad, went to bed..woke up and made some calls and everything was working nicely..no dropped calls!
