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://xdaforums.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://xdaforums.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!!!

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:

TNT PRofessional latest from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=414518

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

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.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] pesok:
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)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] pesok:
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)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ashasaur:
Yeah I have got to agree, your problem is your ROM, not the radio.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dudeluv:
I agree also, Rom Problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mr.incredible:
No Radio ROM will improve your signal reception.

One problem most neubs have with flashing is not starting from the base. You have to flash the button rom first then 226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship. Then you are free to roam about the country. This has to be done every time you flash a new custom rom. You can not skip steps. I have tried many of these radio roms. I've posted my theory several times. I think the problems all stem from how the radio rom reports to the phone the signal. It often reports you have a signal when you don't. If the phone thinks it has a signal it doesn't try to connect. Simple as that. One way to really test it is go into an elevator and try to make a phone call. Most elevators are steel boxes. No signal can get in. You may have to try a few to really find a dead one. Flash your best signal rom and go into the elevator. If you still show a signal, your radio rom is no good.

Anyway, TMo UK 2.19.11 is the best thing we have. When I have a signal, I have NEVER missed a call with this rom. And when I don't have a signal, missed calls are never not reported. The rom doesn't affect the signal strength it just reports the truth or not depending on whether the rom is working correctly or not. NO PIECE OF SOFTWARE IS GOING TO IMPROVE OR DEGRADE SIGNAL STRENGTH. SIGNAL STRENGTH IS A HARDWARE THING...

The antenna on these things are woefully inadequate. There is a hardware hack that has been the only improvement I've seen. I found it on Howard forums. Basically you remove the cover peice from over the camera. the antenna is a peice of foil. You cut a slot in the foil between where the post contacts it. I took that one step further by cutting a series of alternating slots about 1.5 cm apart down the sides. That creates a longer zigzag shaped foil antenna. It would be nice to create a new antenna that is electrically correct for the bandwidth and tune it with an o-scope, but I don't have access to that fun stuff anymore.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] bachikho:
i don't agree with this, with the same device (O2 miniS) and rom (TNT vanilla), 2.69 radio provide better signal than 2.40 (not tested with others)!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mr.incredible:
Just because you have more bars doesn't mean you have better signal. The only thing the roms can do for you is make use of features that can be provided by the hardware. You can not physically boost a signal with software. That is a fact not an opinion. The hardware does what the hardware does. The software just interprets what the hardware sees. If that interpretation is flawed you may seem to get better signal but it is still the same signal. If your phone thinks it has a better signal than it actually does then things don't happen correctly. That is when you start getting missed calls. (this is the opinion/guessing part)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
to Mr. Incredible:

O like your idea about modifying the hardware antena.

I would like to do it.

need mor info + pictures. also materials to use.

I have access to al sorts of metals.

can you provide a tutorial?

Awesome Mod...Using Original Rad Rom(2.25.11)

I did it with mine and I get full signal 300 ft up and inside metal ductwork at a power plant. It increased from 1 bar. Tried it in the same spot and it's a beautiful thing. Thx for Posting.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
Holy Sh!t !!! I did it and it worked!!! did not lose reception in the elevator!!

also on the last page, there is a better design for it :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mr.incredible:
I'm Opuskrocus on Howard... :D That is my design.

After going back and reading some of the other post there I think there may be and even better cut to make. One that would create the folded dipole the engineer types posted there. It would be a little more tricky but not too difficult. I'll work out some illustrations. I don't have another original to test with right now.

See attached picture. You would only have to be careful to leave enough foil to contact the spring pins. I'm going to try it as soon as I can get my hands on a new cover...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] pesok:
mr.incredible problably right about the soft having no effect on signal quality(just on the way it reports it) but honestly i am more concerned with audio quality and radio seems to have a big impact on that. 3 days or so into testing with 2.19.11 - no missed calls at all(no fix applied) but the audio quality is crap(maybe if i didnt experience the 2.71 i would not notice that much). As for signal i am in Boston and have full bars anywhere around town, but the hardware trick looks cool cant wait to try it as soon as i am drunk
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] docnas:
just tried the "mod" n unfortunatly it seems im one of those unfortunate who doesnt benifit from this mod oh well it was a try i just reconnected both edges of the foil ad it went back to normal ( when i had cut it and tried it the reception would go all over the place from 100% to losing connection to 38% even though i was still sitting in the same place and b4 the mod i would have consistant 3 bars 82% )
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
tried it. did not work. tried it with copper signal got worse.

however< I made a snake design that went overtop of the origional antena (with the slit) went all the way around the camera just before it touched the ground wire on the left (smaller area)

worked brilliant.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] pesok:
can you post the pic of your design
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mr.incredible:
Okay... I tried the design above and saw no real improvement over just cutting the single slice. It is still better than no slice at all. One thing to check for when you do this mod, make sure you have good connection from the spring pins to the foil. You can also clean the tips and the gold plated foil with an eraser before closing it up. Make sure you don't break the little clips when you open the cover. That is part of what holds the spring pins in place.

tnt roms and radio

I have to say it is tnt's roms that have this problem.

I had the same problem that when i used tnt's roms i could not use any radio other than 2.19.

I just recently switched to svi manilla 4.5 and now i can use any radio rom.

I did not know it existed until i read the sticky post that showed every rom and rated them.

I am actually interested if you can do a test of all the radio roms with svi manilla 4.5 rom and rate them.

I have 8125 ipl/spl 2.26 radio 2.17
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] f1cscari:
According to a hint de-scripted here: https://github.com/do1fmd/BV9900Pro-optimization

It is possible to build a full rom dumb of a Blackview 9900pro device just by enabling the

[ReadBack]

ShowByScatter=true

in the option.ini in the sp_flash tool folder.

I did this procedure, did successfully a fully backup which included 42 Partition Files, labelled from ROM_1 till ROM_42. I modified the scatter file for pointing to the new Names, like preloader to ROM_0, recovery to ROM_2, misc to ROM_3 and so on...

Then i did a test restore to make sure, this works. Unfortunately, for some reason it is not.

After restoring the device, which process went through without any error, the next boot went first normal, logo and animation apears, then it reboots again and goes straight into the Recovry, showing in red letters a failure "cant load android system, your datas are proparly damaged" with two options to select: retry or reset to manufacturing default.

Its a rooted Android 10, Partition is not encrypted.

Is someone doing the same way of ROM backups and successful restoring them? Is there a partition which must be included in the download procedure? or what else i am missing here?
