Hey

Had this problem many times with all kind of roms.

Usually the icons would react to clicks, but internet wouldn't work and also calling.

When I would turn on flight mode, the right icon (your reception) would change and gets a little cross (telling its disabled). But the left one would still be stuck on G/U as connected. It would take a min or 2 before it finally updates to a little cross saying its disabled. Then I can disable flight mode again and the phone would work (most of the time)

I live around 70 km from my work and I drive back and fort every day. In the car my universal is in the charger and I have always live messenger connected and AS for email.

during this trip my reception is lost twice, besides that it switches a couple of times from Umts to Gprs.

I've updated my phone to 1.14 radio en helmi 3.5 aku rom. And have experienced a couple of times what you discribed. The 3G and G/U icons wouldn't react to the stylus and the phone seems to be stuck. The device itself still works. But I have to soft reset to get it going again.

So after reading your story I can say this scenario refers to my experience.

I'm gonna try your solution from off today and let you know
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Biso007:
I have only GPRS here and this problem happens to me with all AKU3.x versions even with different radios (1.09 -> 1.14.10) ... I still believe it has nothing to do with ONLY hand-over ... I reverted back to AKU2 and it never happened since then
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] venusforu:
Same here....

I have similar experiences with UMTS and GSM handover issues. I observed that sticking to one band (in my case GSM since it is more prevalent than the other in countries I go to!) is the way to go. When in M1, I got dropped problematic calls and my SMS were delayed but when I stuck to GSM only then everything was back to normal. I have been trying out the new Radio Rom 1.14.10 with Helmi AKU3.5 for 3 days now and am not having handover issues! Could be the Radio Rom or the Rom itself but if it acts up again then I know what to do then! Hope this helps!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mamaich:
The problem is in rilgsm.dll file.

I can tell that it is solved in crossbow.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] faria:
would replacing the file in the current aku3 roms with an older one fix it?

i myself dont have the problem but allot of 3.2 wizard testers do.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tbd@immigrantsong.de:
Good to know, that I'm not the only one with this problem. I have seen this behaviour in all ROMs, not just the AKU3 and can confirm that it iseems to be related to the switchover between UMTS and GSM.

It also only seems to happen only when you have the internet connection open, which will always be the case when you use push-mail.

I had similar problems with the MDA III, whish I used before. Maybe it will get fixed in Crossbow - but by then we'll likely all have new phones.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Viper®:
^^

My internet connection is also always active. I have now switched from AUTO network to WCDMA (umts).

Going to see if this helps. After that I'll try the GSM band to see if it makes a difference

But it's something my device always had problems with, so I guess it's ROM independent
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] stamppot:
I'd like to see if that rilgsm.dll can be re-used. Unfortunately, the coverage of UMTS in the area where I live is far too spotty to be comfortable with pinning the radio band to UMTS.

However, I'm interested in your thoughts.

I must say that I agree with biso007. This problem started to occur when I upgraded to AKU3 roms. Before, I was on AKU2 with the exact same radio rom (I didn't flash it!) and never had any issue. Combined with mamaichs comment that it is related to a DLL file, I would say that the problem is indeed not related to a radio-ROM but to the AKU ROM.

Just my 2 cents....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] yarser:
I had same problems with Radio lockups on my UNIVERSAL. I've tried different ROMs with no luck. BUT after changing my Radio rom back to latest from T-mobile (1.10.03) everything back to normal- all day driving with GPRS on - no lockups at all!!! 100% solution is..... use old radio rom. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ireneus:
Would not mind downgrading...

I have lockup issues as well... if this really helps, I will downgrade the Radio ROM without hesitation. Where can I find thsi Radio ROM; is it on the xda-dev FTP site?

Thanks,

-Ireneus
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dima_the_chief:
Hi All!

Yes, this issue is the most annoying among all other issues, and it makes UNI impossible to use as the phone for business communications.

I confirm that lockup issue existed on EACH radio version I used and on EVERY ROM version.

I don't think this issue is caused by the GSM Band switch or Internet connection active or anything else specific, because this lockup happend even on networks with no 3G at all and no internet connection active and also BT and WiFi off.

It happens when I start intensivelly use my UNI for calls, sms, open contacts, view appointments (note: No 3-d party software at all).

I also mentioned that the issue happens more often with the battery level below 50% or so and almost rarelly happen on external power.

Another "good news" here is that if you receive an SMS during that intensive operations, you will permanently lose it after the phone lock up.

Thank you,

Dmitry.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ireneus:
I wonder is this is just a Universal issue? Or do other devices have the same issues; I mean as frequently as on the UNI.

If it is just the UNI than indeed it is useless as a phone and nothing more than a beeping, brick with a nice VGA screen. I basically fidn it hard to believe that this is the case and I would like to know if there is anyone out there, who does not have lock-up issues with the UNI and I would also like to know from the people who are testing Crossbow if the lock-ups still happen?

All input appreciated.

That's true. Almost in all android cells, I have seen the Avast is installed. I do not have any doubt. It would be in number one for some years may be. Talking to the Gaming world, Temple Runner is also ahead, but we do not know how much time it would be... Because candy crush made crazy to people and other competitors come in market. Regarding the Auto Off Manager, there is no one to compete it as it is unique one and some apps are there in market but I do not think that that are comparable with this one.
[Android Apps and Games] tonnykstark:
Yes, The weather and clockwidgets is looking good

@ OP

Please do some proper research before posting

The apps aren't the best but they are your preferred, the thread looks pointless and I will reported as soon as I will collect more reasons

Do you want to be popular? Do something useful for the community not opening threads with your personal opinions bloating the forum

"the best " is subjective in this android world as well in the real life, try to be realistic

In my simple opinion the best antivirus for your computer and mobile devices is called COMMON SENSE.

Hi xanthrax,

I do not know, in which way I hurt you. But truly speaking what I felt right, has written. Till now I do not know what to do for the community. But assure you that, I would not break the law of community. Word "The" always placed before best. If you can suggest me what to write before best, then I would be open always.

Few apps what I felt are better for android users also will suggest in this thread. Please do not make any thread as controversial one.

If you feel any apps are much more better than what I suggested, you are welcome, so that I may use the best one.

If I have hurt you by any means then I am apologizing for my words.

Thank you

Apps that are really usefull or impressive are:

[Android Apps and Games] xanthrax:
ok , i will expand my point a little bit more.

there is no broken written xda rule on this thread or similar to it so far .

when open a new thread , you have noticed that you`ve been suggested to check first whether another similar thread has been already opened or not

my quick search revealed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1213454

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642476 (well , for rooted devices)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929193

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1425813 (well , pulled from market)

and maybe some more ...

another point is that not all devices are supporting certain applications , there are hundreds of phones and few dozens of android versions reason why , the most indicated place to open a thread about your favourite/best apps is in your device thread unless someone already done it .

example

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1425813

the xda recommendation is to not to open BEST threads but mostly regarding ROMs and KERNELS because it can trigger a flame war around it

which is best for you may be not the same for me ... conflicts

regarding apps and themes it is different but while on themes section there are good and sedulous maintainers who knows what they do , here on apps sections these kind of threads creates more confusion bloating the search index with more and more results

now , it is up to you how you can deal with but i have the feeling that these threads will end up becoming nothing but another outdated list of apps , list which can be also easily found on Google using search

the last member who posted the list already did it on another thread , well , everyone has this right though ...

i`m sure you`ve got my point even though it isn`t easy to accept it

there are lot of other ways to help people and to contribute to community if this is your intention and only a quick search on my profile it will help you to understand how easy it is

-=-=-

i should have done this using a p.m. but observing other`s involvement i have chosen this way

however , further opinions around my point it will go private

My pleasure, hope it'll help people starting on Android somehow to have a solid base to protect themselves and enjoy their device, in best world become Android poweruser fast.

I usually keep themes and launchers that comes with my system for performance reasons, i make modifications to it if it's unbearable to use or consume too much resources. But good OEM will optimize everything specifically for the device, while replacement will most of the time lack device specific optimization.

Themes can also bring heavy resources, increasing memory and storage usage. But that's my personal preference on performance over beauty. Rare cases happens where there's themes/launchers that looks classy and are resources efficient, but they are generally optimized for a specific device or a specific SoC.
