[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepesr:
Thanks for the info. I have verified all connectors, including battery and SIM.

More over I have 2 batteries and I have done all kind of test with both and with and without power supply.

On the other hand, I have tested all (really all) the RADIO ROM available in the FTP server of xda-developers, plus some more up to the 1.70.18.02 and

1.71.09.01.

Right now I'm running the 1.64.06.04.

In terms of ROM, I have also tested serveral. The last few are:

- offical HTC WM6.1 ESP (BTW with radio 1.65.17.56)

- KaiserESNReconstructedTestFix02

- RUU_Kaiser_SPA_WM6.1.19212.MobileVirtualVista2.21_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_by_ansar

The one I am running right now is:

- KaiserSpanish diamond II

The unit is from nov. 2007, I guess is out of guarantee. On top it was a gift...

But this is not the issue, the problem is actually that I guess that HTC will take several weeks to repare or replace it, and I can not live without the PDA part. I am considering to buy a second hand unit and then we will see....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
How? The mark one eyeball won't pick up a thin film of grease which may still be enough to pose occasional connection problems. The best bet is simply to clean it as described (being careful not to spray the device directly to ensure the moisture indicators aren't triggered).

I have 3 batteries (original and 2 spares) and have had battery terminal problems in the past. I think that all those battery changes may exacerbate the problem. Cleaning as described from time to time, has prevented any recurrence.

You could try reviewing the ROM thread for that ROM but if the problem occurred the same with other ROMs, that's unlikely to be the cause.

Still a few outstanding questions, has it been subjected to anything you may think could cause such problems such as being dropped, shocked or soaked? Also what SPL does it have on it and have you tried reflashing the SPL version (as everything else has already been flashed many times)? I'm thinking this is more likely a hardware defect but you may as well take every step you can to rule out other problems before going down the path of employing specialists to take a look at it.

If you do revert it to a UK Orange standard setup and send it off to HTC in Milton Keynes for repair, you may be surprised at how quickly they can turn around such a job. Although the only service I've used from them was a free ROM reversion while under warranty, after booking my device in over the phone in advance, I dropped it off in the morning of the agreed day and it was ready when I picked it up last thing the same day so the repair centre can really be very efficient (don't ask me about the call centre though :rolleyes:). There's no harm in enquiring with them first but I do suggest you revert everything back to 'as supplied' spec first (even though there's virtually no chance it'll be fixed for free).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Wow that is totally crazy. Good luck with that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepesr_1:
I will clean it again just to be sure....

I have gone through the forum to find another similar cases, but no luck. I agree with you that it is very unlikely that it is the ROM, as it happened with 5 different ROMs, including official WM6 and WM6.1.

A few drops in 1 year an a half, this is almost unavoidable. But not a big crash, and in any case it never happened just before the problem. The only real correlations I've noticed are:

- in tow occations it happened after my operator replaced the SIM

- in all cases but one, I had problems when roaming or when coming back from abroad

I did not mention it but I reflashed the SPL a few times.... the same. I have also changed the Network Wizard and run it several times (there are some problems in the forum where people can not get access to some of the operator's services). Nothing changed

There is another point, when I go to the configuration of the Phone, I can list the available networks, but the issue is that it does not get registered to any of them. It may even be a problem with the operator an not the phone itself.

That is a good point. As I have to travel to UK from time to time I may consider it as an option, but as you say, I want to try all possibilities before.

Thanks again, and thanks to all other people that have any suggestion.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
You did mention sometimes it refuses to be registered on the correct network. If you use your secondary phone to call the operator, perhaps they can tell from their side why registration is being refused? I assume the SPL version you are using is fully compatible with the ROMs you are using. Other than that it's time to contact the repair centre and if you're now back in France then the HTC website (or Orange in France) should provide details of closer, more convenient repair centres. Good luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepesr:
Just got a second Kaiser (2nd hand) and started to swap some parts between both. I found out that the problem is in the motherboard.

It may be the board or, as said before, a problem with the network operator.

I continue to check. BTW, any tip is welcome.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
By that if you mean it's hardware related fair enough but remember there are lots of bits of hardware attached to the mainboard which are easily and relatively cheaply replaceable (eg the sim holder) so a skilled repairer should be able to diagnose exactly where the fault lies.

Well thats a very important distinction to make. Option 1 may be uneconomic to repair where as option 2 would be free - don't you think you should get a definitive response from your network provider?

Get a definitive response from the network provider and then if reqd from an HTC repair centre (as suggested in my last post). In the meantime you can carry on as normal using the 'good' Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepesr:
Thansk.

If you have seen the rips of the Kaiser, it is not so easy to repair what is suppose to be faulty.

When you open it, you take out some parts:

- Antenna

- Speaker

- the roller control on the left side

Then you can remove the main card by disconnecting two flex cables.

When you have done this, your unit becomes two main parts:

- the main body that is completely ripped off :-)

- the other half that contains the LCD, keyb, tilt mechanism, SIM reader, SD reader

The mothercard is actually monolitic, and most of the components are shilded with a methalic case solded to the board. There you have memory, processor, communication chipset...

I am currently using the "new" board on the old phone. Old the rest of the components are from the old one (including antenna, speaker....) and it works, so the fault is in the mother card.

Then when I use the old card with the "new" phone I have the same problem. I have a good and a bad one. Considering that I have no guarantee (and if I had, after all this manipulations, I have lost it for sure), I will first check with Orange. It is not very likely that it has been an operator problem as I have tried with many SIM from different operators and in different countries.

At this point is not so bad as I can play with the spare unit, test new ROM and SW, etc... before running it in the operational one. I also have spare parts in case that I broke something else (LCD...). I am even considering to buy another in ebay, something broken but with the mother card still running, so I can actually have two fully operational.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] raiisak:
Pop Q. here, does it work 102% except your connection issues? Does it lag, screen freeze or acting strange in any other way? If this is a hard problem I would suspect SPL. What SPL version are you on now?What other have you tried and with which rom? Also I dont mind the lengt of this tread, but it takes a bit more time when its written in "story" mode :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
That must be about the 4th or 5th time SPL has been mentioned in this thread and nowhere has pepesr answered - very annoying but you know what they say about leading a horse to water....

Especially when relevant questions from earlier on in the thread (and reminders/suggestions to clean terminals) are being ignored/not reported back on - maybe pepesr may actually listen this time and answer all outstanding q's/report what has actually been done?:rolleyes:[/grouch mode]
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepesr_1:
Thanks again for your help.

Don't get disapointed, I have gone through all the story because the problem is quite weird and this is maybe the only way not to miss an important detail.

As said twice before, answering to the questions, I have traid different SPL and ROMs. To be more precise:

- The problem first started with original HTC SW set up., long time ago.

- I only started to play with different SPL a few weeks ago, and because I wanted to test different radios as the problem is on the phone part.

- I have tried SPLs 1.93, 1.56, 3.28. For sure 1 or 2 more but I don't have any record. Currently running 3.28

- I have installed radios:

- 1.27.11.31

- 1.27.12.11

- 1.27.12.17

- 1.27.12.32

- 1.27.14.09

- 1.27.15.32

- 1.58.26.20

- 1.64.06.04 --> currently running

- 1.64.08.21

- 1.70.18.02

- 1.71.09.01

- I have tried ROMs:

- official HTC WM6 spanish

- official HTC WM6.1 Spanish

- Mobile Virtual Vista 2.21/2.20 D3D WM6.1 5.2.19212.1.0.3

- Mobile Virtual Vista 2.10/2.00 WM6.1 5.2.19212.1.0.3gullum

- Throttle Diamond I multi language (updated) --> currently running

Do not hesitate to ask further details.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] burtcom:
Clean the contacts on the sim slot and the card itself?

OOPS I see that you did.

Anyway, perhaps the sim card connection to the motherboard is flaky
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
You were right the first time. 'Verified' is not the same as cleaned correctly and thoroughly, just as saying it will be done doesn't mean it has been done (correctly and thoroughly). It's not that I'm simply dissapointed. I am annoyed at being given the run-around when it comes to getting concise answers and actions quickly.

I note that we finally have the CURRENT full ROM/Radio/SPL details when picked from a list of other things we didn't ask for (although still no word on whether the actual terminal/connector cleaning has yet taken place for sim and battery and if it was done correctly and thoroughly using the correct materials). I don't know if they are all fully compatible with each other, especially that radio (and to be honest, I can't be bothered checking the custom ROM thread to find out). To say all combinations have been tried is little use because that could mean mixing incompatible items together with a net result of problems. It's akin to saying I've verified all the fluid levels under a car bonnet by filling the radiator with oil, brake fluid reserviour with antifreeze and water and the engine with brake fluid.

I will not be hesitating to ask further details from pepesr (and pepesr_1 for that matter...), I simply won't. The problem is not that not enough words are provided in a response, it's that listening and acting on clear guidance is not occurring, not something I know how to change in others apart from by showing them the net effect.

In the words of ChumleyEX, the situation is 'crazy'!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepesr_1:
As many times in the forum, your answers, Flying Kiwi, are starting to be agressive and useless.

Contacts have been very well cleaned (correctly and thoroughly).

More over, the SIM connectors are in the other half of the unit that works with the new motherboard.

Asuming by default that I am so incompetent and that I have not gone through all this forum to check all this compatibilities is quite arrogant.

-----

I continue to thanks all other people that has really the intention to help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepesr_1:
Yes, it does work 102% for the rest. No other problems at all. And you can be sure I really strees it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vuquan:
I have the same problem as pepesr_1's. 100% same!

I use origine ROM on my phone, from SPL, ROM & Radio.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepesr_1:
Hi,

Good to see that I am not the only one, this could give us a change to find a solution.

Could you check in the back the sticker on the antenna with the date and version. Mine is: 011107(TB02)/EU.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vuquan:
I haven't check yet. But I think it's same. I bought it at 01/2008 as brandnew phone.

2 week ago, I take it to a service shop to re-weld the SIM tray pins. At that time, the phone is good. After one day, it became fault as the time before welding.

More information:

- When it good, the signal can be found when the Windows starting (the LED is blink) with any SIM.

- When it fault, with usable SIMs, the signal can be found after Windows started some minutes. With un-usable SIMs, the phone says: No SIM.

- All Sims above are good SIM (tested on other phone)

Sorry for my bad English.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] sh500:
I purchased a 1800 mAh battery as per thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497159

But [knowingly] my Herbert Richter device specific holder would no longer fit because of the extra width of the battery.

So for information for others, I purchased the Brodit holder that gives the extra clearance at the back to accommodate my 1800 mAh battery. See pictures.

As I already had the HR vent clip (which I like), all I had to purchase was the Brodit holder itself and a 'Brodit/HR 4 prong adapter' that lets you interchange devices between the two manfacturers' mounts/holders.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] mgs333:
nice, thanks for the pictures!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] A|ex:
when using vent clips dont you run the risk of destroying the vent upon mount and dismount of the device?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] sh500:
Depends how well built (or not as the case may be) your vent is I guess. I've had vent clips on two Jaguars XJs, an Audi A6 and a Range Rover and after a good few years use, the vent still functioned correctly after removing the clip. For me they have be very secure and stable, even on fairly rough terrain.

I just dont like things sticking out from the windscreen; spoils the look of the vehicle interior in my opinion.

You can also get custom mounts (car specific) from Brodit, these are ok too but you'd have to get a new one if you changed your vehicle.

Hi chaps.

I used to have an HTC Universal. Just about to take delivery of a Kaiser (hopefully it will be delivered tomorrow!). It's a UK Orange TyTN II, and locked to Orange.

I know nothing about how to flash, upgrade and unlock the device. But I shall search, read, study and learn.

In the mean time, could someone just answer me one thing, please: which rom is considered best at the moment, specifically for use with iGo 8 GPS software?

Many thanks! :)

2) Phone feels a little bit quicker to respond (but this could just be me)

3) Activesync doesn't seem to start all the time

4) occasionally the first time you go to turn wifi on it doesn't actually turn on and you have to turn it off then back on again (but it does start correctly every time after that)

HTC says: "This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading."

It's part of the HTC OEM deal that locked operators have to repack the upgrades with their config and branding, and release it via their own website. I assume HTC is simply ignoring any serials that were sold with branded ROMs to avoid people accidentally killing their phones' operator-specific software.
