Yeah...making calls was fine on my Unlocked Touch Diamond, too...but it's NOT on the Magic (32a).

SO...I'd just have to guess that it's *probably* not the SIM card.

I was told (via an exceptionally helpful phone rep) that the "voice 3g" in my area is not very good, but that the "data 3g" is much better. Which (she says) is why I have trouble making phone calls, but that data works fine.

I don't think so...but without *that* answer, I'm left with the AT&T stock "well, we don't support *unlocked* phones, sir, we can't guarantee that they'll work with our network".

ARRRRRGH! REALLY?! SO, phones with the same chipset, using the same technology won't have the same results?

PLEASE, FCC, INVESTIGATE THIS B.S!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ruffneckc:
Hey radikaled, I have some new developments with GV and outgoing calls. If I set the GV call options to "ask for each call" the issue of calling over 3G appears to be alleviated somewhat. Basically, when initiating a call, you will be prompted on whether you'd like to make the call via GV or not. At this point, wait a few seconds at this prompt and then choose GV. So far the call has successfully connected 100% of the time.

It appears that the data connection is too slow to establish fully over 3G, therefore, the call fails if you don't wait the few seconds before choosing to call via GV.

Let me know if this works for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] awtryau89:
I too had issues with my ROgers Magic unlocked on ATT. When I first got it I used the original ROM and then the HoFo ROM. Both had similar issues with dropping calls when switching from EDGE to 3G and back. I also dropped more calls than normal.

I recently switched to Cyanogens ROM and new radio. I have not had any issues since and then. Calls and switching is very stable. Also the clarity and volume is also much better. Just my experience. Very pleased with this phone on ATT now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ruffneckc:
Thanks for sharing your experience. May give CM ROM a shot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Good read.

Nice post. Interesting topic.

I tried to send several other users your way...I'm sure they eventually checked this out. I've come across this issue with some other folks recently too.

Best of luck though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dlesher:
Me TOO!

I also have a similar problem. When connected with HSDPA, about one third of the calls I make fail immediately, even with full signal strength. I then wait a few seconds and dial again, and it works. I actually am using the sim card from a previous nokia POS phone I had from two years ago; the ATT people just took it out of the previous crap phone and put it into my poor fuze. How much does a new SIM card cost? Can I get a new SIM card without att bothering me about not having the stock rom? I'm using Da_G's clean fuze 23008 winmo 6.5 with the 1.12.25.19 radio. I live in the Youngstown, Ohio area (between cleveland and pittsburgh), so cell reception on any network is pretty bad, but it seems the ATT/cingular network around here is particularily bad. Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chopsxxx:
Hi y'all - just want to let Telus customers know that I have successfully unlocked my TP2 for 3rd party sims. In case it was one of those "should be possible, but I'd like to wait to buy until I know..." questions for some of you.

You may have seen the youtube vid, but I can confirm its true.

Also - Telus would NOT give out the sim unlock code for free. They got all squirrelly and weird and said they DO NOT support this, and they dont even have the unlock code even if they wanted to give it. They also said that they're locked at the factory which I argued is completely false as before you activate the phone, it says "SIM unlocked", and locks immediately afterwards.

Strangely, the first guy I spoke to was understanding, pleasant and said that I had to contact HTC, that they didn't actually have the code but I could definitely get it from HTC, and that he used to work for HTC in Canada before the dollar rose and they had to move elsewhere. Called HTC and they were confused and said "no, you have to get it from your telco, or a 3rd party".

That's what I thought. Canadian cell companies are waaaay to tight-fisted to give an inch on their overpriced bs.

$35 with popular canadian cell unlocking site - took 2.5 days.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
So what did you have to do exactly? I'd love to have the Telus version, but being in Mex I was dubious about the simlock. And you can do it all online, right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Extreme184X:
yes what did you do, or give us a link, plz, People gonna be need this as I am.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crazy talk:
wouldnt a custom ROM accomplish the same thing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chopsxxx:
Perhaps if you bought it without activating it, you could put on a custom ROM and then keep the SIM unlocked. I think, however, that they will be unlikely to be inclined to sell the TP2 without attaching it to Telus first. Once its locked by Telus, I think its locked in a part of memory that flashing won't overwrite. I could be very wrong - someone please enlighten if they know better... When you bought your Fuze and then flashed a cust rom, did it unlock the phone?? I've always been a CDMA customer in NA, with the occasional GSM blackberry overseas - but I bought them unlocked too.

www.mobileincanada.com is where I got my code. They told me that the Touch Pro 2 takes much more time to create code than other phones, hence the almost 3 day wait.

Tested: prior to unlocking a soft reset after sim install would elicit "SIM detected, not a Telus SIM - phone switching to CDMA only" or something like that.

Afterwards, SIM detected, switching to Global. I double checked that it could read my Optus SIM and get phone numbers off of it. It didn't complain at all and even tried to connect to Rogers - couldn't, of course, with a deactivated Optus SIM...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chopsxxx:
Update

Found an unused Rogers SIM kicking around... Will detect the network manually, but will not register on it. HTC did say that they locked out the NA GSM service providers as a service to the NA CDMA companies. Perhaps a flashed ROM would fix this... obviously the radio bands are compatible or it wouldnt detect it at all, no?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
Huh, if it's not working then it really isn't unlocked...

Wonder if a Mexican sim would work (technically it's part of North America though culturally and economically speaking it isn't).

I don't understand why they'd lock out all North American gsm providers. Wouldn't the gsm providers of the same country be enough? After all, who'd want to be roaming all the time in Canada with a US provider's sim, it'd be much more expensive than any local plan.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chopsxxx:
Well, the SIM I tried has never been activated. It doesn't even work in my ROgers BB, it turns out. So I need to try an activated one.

Anyway, I do remember reading that HTC's compromise to the NA CDMA carriers was that they would disable using NA GSM companies in order that you would have to use your provider's CDMA roaming services throughout NA, even on an unlocked phone. Will do my best to test.

My main concern was getting it to worked on a 3rd party sim in Oz and Europe.

It is definitely "unlocked" however. The Settings/Security screen says "This phone is SIM unlocked", and now it will read any sim card I install. Before unlocking it wouldnt let you go near a non-telus SIM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Monkii:
I ordered my unlock code through the same site, too. But they refund my money the next day saying my IMEI isn't in their database, thus unable to provide an unlock code for my phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chopsxxx:
this is one of those "are you sure its plugged in" questions so I apologise, but did you make triple sure you gave them the right IMEI code? Sometimes there are more than 15 digits, although I've been told its only the first 15 that matter...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
Ok. I'd love to have the Telus version, what with the added bands, the cdma mode, the 3.5mm jack, and case very faithful to the original, and even the nostalgia factor (I remember when Telus was only for home phones;)) But I am not going to risk looking for an importer, buying it and all that if there's a chance that I would be unable to get the unlock codes. That'd be TRULY frustrating and a waste of money.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Monkii:
well, there are more than 15 digits on the back of the phone behind the battery, while there are 17 digits in Device Information. And since they only asks for first 15 digits, I just gave them that. Asked them to double check, still came back with IMEI not found. I'm pretty frustrated now...because I paid the the full price for the phone as I'm not qualified for upgrade yet as I got the Diamond for free last Sept. And since I got it from Telus store and there's no return, I feel pretty much got rip-off as I was in hope of using it in HK, where I travel to every year.

I've been using the AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925) for several years, and have just upgraded to the HTC Fuze. My problem is getting the data from the Tilt to the Fuze.

The main reason that I upgraded is that I couldn't sync the Tilt anymore. For whatever reason, I can charge the Tilt, even using the USB charger, but the computer doesn't "see" the Tilt to sync. I've tried it with multiple computers, and the AT&T people have tried it several times, but no luck. I've also never been able to get it to sync reliably by Bluetooth.

So, anyway, I don't have a current sync on my PC, and I can't make one. I'm trying to figure out a way to get the PIM data to the new device. Can anyone tell me where the file(s) are stored on the Tilt? I thought maybe I could beam or even email the correct data files from the Tilt. Or does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks for the help.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] f1ip:
you tried PIM backup??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wiz0floyd:
The tilt should come with Sprite Backup which can backup contacts, files, etc. Try using that to transfer your files. If you don't have one, borrow a storage card from a friend.

When making the backup, don't back-up your registry, and only backup the files you need. Otherwise, it's probably best to leave everything checked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] crissg:
Google Sync or MyPhone should work too.

Both would give you a backup of your contact and calendar data in case of disaster. MyPhone will backup your sms, music and photos from your phone too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joann23456:
Thanks so much!

I decided to use MyPhone, and it worked great!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] afn691:
If you try to copy the PIM from one device/ROM to another (i.e. your Fuze) you'll crash the Fuze, as it seems that every PIM is related to an only device/ROM (I mean, you changing the ROM but not the device, your old PIM will make your device crash)

I think you can export your data using Sashimi, maybe. Maybe using PIMbackup if the data are not related to the device/ROM but I'm not sure. Maybe, exporting them via Bluetooth from the Tilt to the Fuze directly.

Other options, I can't imagine them by now, but i'm not an expert and today I'm tired (it's 22:17 in Catalonia now)

I threw together a Mortscript to patch the wi-fi problem I was having with Proxycap. I was adding a 1st rule to direct connect, but then it wouldn't default to the next rule.

Here is a quote from Proxycap tech support : "When you want to connect to the Internet without a proxy, you can just disable ProxyCap:

Start/ProxyCap Config/Misc/Disable ProxyCap."

The Wi-Fi mortscript will Enable / Disable Proxycap and turn your wifi off and on. No need to reboot after clicking Yes or No.

Install

Unzip the wifi folder.

Move it to you Program Files folder.

You can create a shortcut on your Today screen or tether the script to a key.

Click Wi-Fi to run. You will be prompted with " Do you want wifi? Yes No

Yes will disable Proxycap and start WiFi.

No will enable Proxycap and stop WiFi.

After a Hard Reset, problem solved.

but remember donot let screen goes off during installation software
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] PJ@y-Z:
Why? :confused:
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] MarcoMilano:
To solve this problem you need other sound driver. Try to search for alternative versions of SRS_WOW_HD drivers here in xda. If you succeed - let us know what version it was. I used Samsung R2VS sound driver (attention: if after installing there is now sound add key in HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev "Flags" (dword) = 2, and reboot). That driver worked perfectly for me, have no speed problems now. Try it, maybe it'll work for you too =)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] PJ@y-Z:
I'm so newbie. May you help me to find and install it? :(
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] MarcoMilano:
1. Download the driver itself here

2. You need to have any registry editor on your PPC (I use registry plug-in from SKTools). There is good freeware editor here - you can use it if you don't have any.

3. Install the cab from zip file on your PPC.

4. Using your registry editor create DWORD key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev folder, name it as "Flags" and type its value as "2".

5. Soft reset your PPC.

6. You should see R2VS link in your PPC windows>programs. Apply some parameters and hear the changes (easier to hear them using your headphones). If it's working you shouldn't have problems with mp3 speedups any more.

Take care
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] PJ@y-Z:
Thanks so much. I'll try it if I got problem again.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] TheRem:
@MarcoMilano... thanks but your solution didn't work for me... i used SRS WOW HD v. 121 and added the flags=2 for it to have sound... but after an hour, the sound still softens and it speeds up...

and now there's a new problem, when the phone is idle, it keeps restarting automatically after a few minutes.

i can't download Samsung_R2VS_Driver_i770.zip from your link because i can't understand the language... are you sure we can use a Samsung driver on our HTC Viva? could you upload it somewhere?

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] MarcoMilano:
Sorry for the link, forget that it will require registration. I updated my post and now the link works properly. I uploaded driver here.

I take no response for everything that will happen to your device, but for me it works flawless. The only problem is that it's hard to use original HTC sound player because it will use two sound drivers (SRS_WOW_HD + Samsung) and our low-speed CPU can't deal with it easily.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] MarcoMilano:
2 TheRem

Adding flags=2 in registry won't change nothing becuse you still use HTC sound driver. Download and install the R2VS (from FileSend here) and after that add flags=2

I think we should write a letter to HTC support service reporting this problem. There is a small chance that they can help by sending a newer version of SRS_WOW_HD sound driver that will work for our Touch Viva :confused:

Can you please describe all your moves when you get speed ups. I'm not using my PPC for music so can't tell exactly when i get this bug. Maybe you could even put an mp3 attachment that speeds up. Just describe when and how it happens i want to try it on my PPC as well, i have Russian stock ROM

i'm getting the speedups every hour like there's something triggering it... and when it's in this state, the volume is also soft but after a reboot it will be back to normal and then again after an hour it will be back to the low volume speed up... every sound, from ringtone, games to music is soft and speedup.

rather than the network. I think its to do with the file that initiates 'edge' on the phone.

this could be it, since edge is after all carrier dependent. that is probably y some have been able to correct the problem by changing the sim. The best thing to do by far is to change your ROM.

[G1 General] DirectMatrix:
If its still in warranty, the phone should be sent back to your carrier so that it can be swapped out. There really isn't anything anyone can do for a hardware issue like this. If you bought the phone second hand (ebay etc) and you are feeling adventurous, you can search for directions on disassembling the G1. I wouldn't recommend this unless you knew what you were doing, or are comfortable with the likelihood that it won't work and you'll need a new one anyways.
