Ok, this is getting kind of frustrating ...

I "downgraded" to Radio ROM 1.58.26.20 to see if it improves on the reception. It does not. Still getting the same error (no signal) :(

I've put the SIM card into my old Motorola Timeport (yeah, I know ... sort of prehistoric :rolleyes:). It gets full reception (even two blocks down in the basement).

The HTC TC gets no signal.

Would it make sense to revert to an original ROM ? Or another Radio ROM (other than the one mentioned above or the 1.64.xx.xx version, which I have already tried ?

When I follow reyjabs suggestion, I can select O2 (in Germany) as the provider, and it even gets a network confirmation (i.e. I'm logged in) for about 30 seconds, but then it just goes back to "no signal".

I was at a restaurant this morning and there I had 2 bars worth of signal strength. I made a phonecall and the quality of the call was very good.

Any suggestions what else to try ?:confused:

Andreas

i bet u need to get different connection-parameters from alice to get it work! as alice parameters are not stored in connection-manager, right?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] acocq:
But what parameters would that be ? I saw that I can select the country and the provider, nothing else.

And why would I get a connection for a short while ? And why would I receive only a very weak signal ? :confused:

I've now tried different Radio ROMs, switched back to the 1.25.405.1 WWE ROM (which is, of course, not the original GERMAN ROM ... I don't have that :(). The problem remains the same ...

I was soooo looking forward to my HTC TC ... and now I feel a deep sense of disappointment :(...

Didn't you read the "thread" before flashing? Didn't you see all the "this don't work, that don't work" questions and statements?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] acocq:
I read various threads about flashing. I made sure that I understood the proper sequence of what needed to be flashed and what could be flashed.

I do not recall seeing a statement that is pertinent to my current woes - if I did overlook something, please point me in the right direction.

Hi,

I think he tried his best, and, as he said at the begninning he read a lot, and there is really plenty of informations, so it would be not a strange thing if he overlooked ad some, in any case I can feel with him, putting a new rom, for a not used to it person is a very exciting thing, and if something goes wrong even worst ...

so I think he needs more help at the moment, and not someone showing at him and telling him "you are a bad boy" ... I cannot give any deeper advice, but may be someone can, and therefore the forums are really great ...

I have an idea, why do you not try to reflash the roms?

I had to do it three times, with my mum's Polaris, I still do not why but the third time it worked, so maybe it is worth ...

Another thing: if it doesn't find the proper settings for Alice, may be you can put them manually, and did you try in the same place with anoter provider and his card, may be a friends one?

Hope you'll have luck, Bepe's ROM is fantastic and the Polaris with it great!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] theriel:
By the way - do you know maybe how to backup my original ROM and Radio, in order to come back to it if I changed my mind?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] schaggo:
Hi Andreas

I suppose you know www.ppc-welt.info/community. From there I know people seem to have issues with old SIM Cards and the o2 network. Since you say your provider is a roaming-partner of o2 I'd suppose to ask them for a new SIM card. Another possibility to try out at the moment is set your band settings to GSM only, no 3G, no UMTS. See if that works.

Another thing are the connection parameters: they have NOTHING TO DO with network connectivity or signal availability. They just provide some IP address settings and login names for some gateway servers. If there is no network, there is no data connection, forget about the network setup wizard for now. And btw I doubt it has anything to do with Radio ROM versions or such, I really suppose its your SIM card.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] .ForumUser:
No nothing in particular, all I was trying to say was I'm not suprised that you are having problems, nothing personal, look back through the 'bepe' thread... how many times do people say "thanks for the ROM it's great BUT.........." person after person with problems, things that don't now work since flashing, then they thank the author of the ROM, lol, makes me laugh, did this not 'worry' you before flashing?

I had many HTC based devices, flashed all of them at some point with various ROMs, on the whole, usually very good, even 'bepe', I used his ROM on the Trinity, was great. All the ROMs for the Polaris, in comparison, are poor, far too buggy.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] acocq:
@isidar,

thank you for your kind words of encouragement ! I have flashed several times, but to no avail. Problem still persists.

@Shaggo,

the Motorola phone is old, the card is not. It was issued a couple of months ago. I have the Timeport as a backup in case I find myself without my PDA-Phone.

And I'm not sure if my provider is a "roaming partner" ... I always thought that roaming meant using someone else's network because the original network is not available. I think of ALICE as a "branded" version of the O2 network :). But all this is just semantics.

It's really strange because even with one "signal block", the quality of the call is really incredible. But it loses the signal in areas where I KNOW there is sufficient signal strength.

I've tested it with an E-Plus SIM and get the same results (which is weird because the E-Plus signal is a lot weaker where I live ... inside the house I won't get any decent reception, no matter what phone I use)

I'd already gone ahead and "restricted" my band settings to GSM only. Problem persists.

If I had the original Touch Cruise GER ROMs available, I'd reflash them, undo the HARD-SPL (I found instructions for this on this forum) and send it in to HTC for repair.

/* EDIT : Got the orginal ROMs from here ... I'll contact HTC on Monday to arrange sending it in for repair :END EDIT*/

Another annoying thing is that when I get the connection, it doesn't show the network name "ALICE" on my display but shows "AvzÖú" instead. When I use the card on the Motorola, it shows "ALICE" ...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] alanxzg:
Thanks bepe for your work
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] schaggo:
Maybe those couple months are just a couple months too much. I dont know and I really can't tell, but quite a lot of ppl from the ppc-welt-community got it working after they ordered a new UMTS-SIM from o2.

Well, yeah, Alice hasnt got an own network, its using the o2 network. The company behind Alice is Telecom Italia which hasnt got a network in Germany, opposed to Telefónica which owns o2 (http://www.inside-handy.de/news/9790.html, http://www.digital-world.de/news/ko...lice_planen_gemeinsame_mobilfunkangebote.html). So all Alice customers suffer the same problems o2 customers do, they rely on the same technology in the background.

I guess this is a Windows Mobile related problem, it's just too advanced to do simple tasks like showing the provider name... And I'm not even joking!

As I see you tried all kinds of tricks and hints and it didn't work. Contacting HTC for an exchange/repair is most likely the best option for now. You already found the original ROM, but don't forget to restore the HardSPL too, that's probably the most crucial part of the whole story. You'll find the Un-HardSPL behind the German o2 ROM link in my signature.

Hi Gents,

just like to let you know that I flashed Bepes 0.67 GER Opera Edition a minute ago. It just runs perfect except minor bugs like missing translations.

I am using radio 1.58.21.23 - the one which came together with the TC out of the box (the oldest one). And it runs perfect togehter with the new WM 6.1!

Is it really necessary to flash the radio? I'm a little bit afraid of loosing Bluetooth capability, etc. thereafter...

Looking forward to the next releases bepe!! Donation is on the way!

Thanks and good luck to the others ;)

Schaggo,

thank you very, very much for taking the time to provide input for my dilemma.

I'd seen your link for restoring the original SPL and have done so already. I'll call HTC tomorrow to see if they have an other idea or whether I should send it in for repair (and be without it for a few weeks :mad:).

No there is no need to preform a radio upgrade.

depending on your location a radio upgrade can help or harm your device.

in asia (and israel) the default radio is the best for TC and as fo now a problem with radio replacement causes a loss of signal.

reflashing again the Bepe 0.67 Ger ROM - just in case something has not worked. I had a problem with one of the previous versions which reflashing cured

flash your TC with Bepe 0.67 WWE ROM - sometimes there have been problems with the non WWE ROMs

Schaggo,

I wonder if the speed improvement of ASergs ROM is due to the fact,

that he disables some major services by default and you have to switch them

on by his services addon (see screenshot) :confused:

One could disable those services also in bepes rom to achieve the

speed improvement. It's just some registry keys. But I wonder, if

the speed of ASergs ROM also remains, if the services are enabled

and if they keep enabled if you do apply them once or if they are

disabled again after softreset. Anyone could confirm?

Enable Bluetooth Service.cab
