I have 4 years with my Uni and tested a lot of ROM´s and radios and still have the bad reception problem.

Is something I can live with..., but in some areas reception is so bad.

Some are better than other. I discovered on my personal case that radio 1.08 and 1.18 are the ones that give me better signal and are not a battery eaters.

This must be also something to do with cell provider, on my case, Telcel sucks in terms of reception, and prices and, and....:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DerUbermench:
problem is that it does not work at all in my office. maybe i can rig up an antenna that is on the inside of the phone
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
Yes, some ROM upgrade utility apps will show Magician. If you downloaded a file labelled as Universal_radio - go ahead, it's all good and it is for your device, don't worry about the picture, however, follow the reset instructions for Uni, not the ones shown. Should work, don't see any reason not to. What is the message you are getting?

Rigging up an antenna should be the last resort. As far as reception is concerned, I can have only 1 bar showing or none at all, but that means I still have the reception, it's when I don't see 3G or the data connection attempts to connect and fails, I know there is a problem.

Interesting thing: we have a large mall and part of it has no reception whatsoever for my Uni, yet has some on other cellphones I use, but barely. So when I enter that area my GPRS and 3G connection disappears completely and restarts when I leave, I know exactly the location of the 'communications black hole'.

Can it be that your office blocks the GPRS? Can it be that your internal antenna is malfunctioning? What are the exact symptoms?

As for bearing children for me, I think it's the job better left to the professionals (women)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
Forgot to mention, I don't have reception in my very own garage of all places! Drives me nuts! :eek::eek::eek:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DerUbermench:
that probably for the best since I wasnt sure where to begin. I went home and googled it and surprise surprise it's supposed to be darned near impossible (edit: me giving birth, that is)

my whole building is a blackout zone for my phone. other phones are weaker, but my uni is the only one I have seen that has no reception whatsoever. I got the radio 1.15 working and still no go.

I got the uni because I really need a phone that I can realistically work with Word and Excel on to save me the hassle of carrying around a laptop. I don't think anything will work besides a 'custom' internal antenna or maybe I just stick with the Advantage until the new rumored HTC clamshell comes out (assuming I can afford it)

Thanks for that

Hopefully they really launch something similar to Uni!!

Alright, as a very last suggestion - try factory ROM, it comes bundled with Radio and Ext Rom, see what happens.

I was flashing ookba's Ozone 6.5 rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=552887 and midway through it errored out and my phone won't boot now. I think I made it even worse because according to the tricolor bootloader, I still have SPL and not HardSPL. I can still bring up that screen fine but when I try a normal boot, it simply sits at the HTC logo screen. According to ookba's forum post there are no original ozone roms for vzw so does this mean that mine is bricked for good? :'(
[Dash 3G, Snap General] justlevine:

[Dash 3G, Snap General] SoCalSpecialist:
ur device wasnt ready to be flashed man..

if it didnt show : SPL-0.39.Hard, then u werent ready.

we said time and time again, even when the ROM was released that you needed to be sure that the above in bold was showing on your tri color screen.

sorry bro, but you now have a paper weight. :(
[Dash 3G, Snap General] djh816:
:[ i assumed that when hardspl showed 100% without error that it had worked.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] SoCalSpecialist:
i feel ur pain bro..i bricked testing the SPL's for us. I have the insurance and im super cool with the REPS at my local store, so the swap out was quick and easy!

hopefully u signed up for the same and got the 6 buck insurance.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] htc_Tomi:
I'm in the same boat man... Hardspl flashed to 100% so I thought it was installed (I have no vision so I had no way of actually checking the boot screen...), and my phone is stuck at the htc screen after it vibrates...

I have the $8 insurance, but I'm scared to bring the phone to a verizon store for fear of THEM finding out. I'd much rather try and reflash a signed stock rom image.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] brent372:
If you have the insurance it doesn' matter.

Just call the insurance company and say you dropped it in the toilet.

Bad Flash problem..

I had the same issue with HardSPL not completeing the install before attempting to Flash. Now my Ozone will to boot at all. My problem is that this is a company phone and they will be upset. How do I create a "gold card" to get it to take a ROM or has anyone located an official ROM that will load without HardSPL being in place?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] djh816:
you could probably make a donation to jockeyw and talk to him about it if he's got the time.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] SoCalSpecialist:
silly mistake on ur behalf, especially with a company device. As ive mentioned, i encourage ALL to read thru the ROM update and SPL thread's carefully, it saves a headache, and possibly ur job! and if ur still unsure, ask a question. The reason i say this and stick with it specifically in ur case, is because i recently had a co-worker get let go for bricking his Blackberry Tour that was supplied to him no more than 2 weeks ago. Again good dude, silly mistake.

Now i dont now much about it, but from what i understand a "gold card" as forementioned, is out of the question for an Ozone. I belive this was covered already in one of the ROM threads.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] htc_Tomi:
That's not good. I just bricked my THIRD Ozone guys. I flashed the hardspl and although my sd and sim cards were out it still didn't flash I think. I'm back where I was a month ago.

+, I activated my screen reader on the device. The screen reader uses your MEID and ESN to allow your license to be on the phone. If I were to take my ozone back (yet again), I would have to pay $200 to the company in order to have them "reset" my license in the system.

I am desperate for a signed rom. Can hardspl be flashed on somehow with the SD card?

:'(

[Dash 3G, Snap General] everone:
another one bites the dust..

It seems the HARDSPL is not working for a high % of first time flashers.

It would make sense that this be taken care of. i would encourage any one who wants this to be fixed to make a donation and specify your wants and needs.

There is some confusion whether to sda unlock before running auto.bat and ruu hardspl.

it seems to me that the jumpspl is not correctly working so the hardspl is not working. the jumpspl sspl bypasses the security temporarily so that the RUU can flash the rom with hardspl. this is not completing correctly and bricking phones. Ill try to get new phone from local store tomorrow and retest process to see if i can come up with where problem lies. :confused:

Hey,

I have my td2 now since july and am really sad about how they changed windows mobile. I first had the p3300 aka orbit and was so happy about it until I had some soft/hardware issues.

SOLVED

Now with the fancy new td2 I just can t get TCPMP to work or well it worked once with the 0.81 rc i think but not really good.

I searched now for days to find something but mostly useing my td2 and that got pretty annoying.

I am really tired of trying and searching so if anyone could help me with an easy solution then i would be thankful also because I have so what no idea about registry or such.

Also i found this nice Program W.V.D. which makes me want to have a working tcpmp even more or can I use any other mediaplayer and if yes, which one?

And one question to skyfire...

Does it just rendomly suport flash on pages i can just sometimes not get it to work at all and sometimes it runs just fine even though skyfire is really blurry but I read that we can not really do much about that yet.

my td2 is running on the original german xda diamond2 rom and I am just waiting for O2 to finally release the 6.5. Is that usefull or should i just take any cookedrom? If, which one is great? Or anyone any Idea when =2de releases the 6.5?

Also can someone tell me what the different blinking signals mean on the td2 because in the manual of the p3300 were they explained but with the td2 was not much information with.

Also i would be really happy to hear what kind of programs are essential for the td2 which programs do we need.

Thank you very much in advance

I have also installed CorePlayer.

Is there any conflict between the two or TCPMP simply doens;t work on TD2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] DJMEone:
hey sorry didn t see this ...

there shouldn t be a conflict especially if you have one running at a time.

Tcpmp works just fine on several td2 also on mine now.

Download he tcpmp which is attacht here and set this to Raw FrameBuffer

DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS BEFOR THE OPTIONS MENU not play not anything

best reinstall it and then directly to "options"

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] godefroi:
... my Tilt gave out a couple weeks ago after a couple of years of fighting the good fight (and let's be honest, with the Tilt, it was always a battle...).

It's a company phone, so I won't have to pay for it, and AT&T just happened to stop selling the Fuze (well, they "sell" it, but they don't have any and they aren't getting any more), so now unless I want an iPhone, I have to wait for a Touch Pro 2. I definitely don't want an iPhone (I do a lot of work on the phone, and tethering is a big part of what I use the phone for), it looks like TP2 is the phone for me.

I've got a loaner Tilt that someone mangled up pretty badly to use while I wait, but the problem is, how do I possibly contain myself for the next 5 or so weeks until AT&T gets their act together? :):)

By the way, the salesdroids at the iPhone^H^H^H^H^H^HAT&T store (when you can actually get them to stop talking about the iPhone) will actually tell you the rumors on the internet are more accurate on release dates than their info :D)
[Touch HD General] thelondonthing:
Bit of a n00b here, so apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place.

For the last ten days or so, my Touch HD has been experiencing issues when placing outgoing or receiving incoming calls. Despite apparently showing full 'H' or '3G' signal strength, a number of incoming calls are dropped, seemingly at random, and redirected to voicemail without the handset receiving the call, and without the caller hearing any 'ringing' (i.e. straight to voicemail).

There is no consistent pattern to these occurrences; in a test of 20 consecutive calls placed 30 seconds apart, the first three were directed to voicemail without ringing, followed by two successful consecutive calls, followed by a further 15 voicemail redirects.

Issues exist when placing outgoing calls too; in a further test of 20 consecutive calls, all but the penultimate attempt failed to successfully place a call; 19 of the attempts resulted in the handset displaying a "dialling" message for around 40-60 seconds, before a 'beep beep beep' indicated that the attempt had failed.

While most of the time, these failures occur while the handset claims to have acquired full or near-full signal strength, there have also been a number of instances where the handset has ditched all cellular connections, and goes from full 'H' to no service whatsoever; the only way to work around this is to then turn the phone radio off and back on again via the communications settings menu.

This is a standard HTC Touch HD acquired off network, and running mostly vanilla programs; HD Tweak is installed, but the only settings changed have been cosmetic.

ROM: 1.56.405.1 (43972) WWE

Radio: 1.13.25.24

I've been a WinMo handset owner for ten years, and I'm used to tweaking and customising devices, and while I'm no expert by any means when it comes to ROMs and the more technical aspects of these handsets, I do know what not to touch to avoid buggering the handset right up.

Aside from scratches to the screen (caused by a chipped stylus!), it has never been damaged in any way (dropped, knocked, bumped, crunched or moistened), and certainly nothing has happened in the last two weeks that could have been responsible for this kind of tits-up.

I've done everything I can think of short of a full hard-reset.

So... should I be considering a hard-reset? Is this likely to be a software/settings glitch rather than a hardware problem?

I'd be hugely grateful for any suggestions that members can put forward - and I'd be even more thankful if you could use the simplest language possible for my tiny mind to comprehend.

Huge thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
I had the exact same things happen to me (although not quite as frequent). It happened after I started experimenting with flashing cooked ROMs to my device and upgraded the radio version to 1.14.25.24 which is what I think caused the problems.

I recently installed the rilphone.dll to go with the radio version (the cab has been added to the beginning of the thread for Radio 1.14.25.24 in the ROM development forum) and this seems to have fixed my problems.

Something else that should not be ignored is the problem may simply be your network operator - I would suggest you repeat the test when in another geographic location as the problem could occur when there is a shortage of capacity between your network operator's switch site and the base station to which you are currently connected.

Try that first, and if you don't get anywhere, consider upgrading your radio version to 1.14.25.24 using USPL and installing the accompanying rilphone.dll from the cab file. There are some very comprehensive guides to flashing custom ROM images in the ROM Devlopment forum, and flashing a new radio version will not require a hard re-set or any loss of your personal data or installed applications, although there are always risks involved when flashing new software to your device, so make sure you are aware of the risks before you proceed.

Good luck!
[Touch HD General] thelondonthing:
Budadank, many thanks for your notes - I'll give your suggestions a go, and hopefully that'll resolve some of the issues, or at least shed some light on the problem. I'm relieved to hear that I'm not the only one that's had this problem, and glad to hear that you managed to get it sorted; there's hope for me yet...

Cheers!

Same problems here with stock firmware

I tried other firmwares and came back to original in order to avoid these

problems with no luck

I also had the problem that I hear the other person fine but he does not

hear me (about 50% of the calls) and eventually the call was dropped

My operator is considered good

My N95 is 200% better than my Touch HD in the matter of phone -signal quality

It seems to me that the phone always tries to switch betwen 3g and gsm

The only "solution" I could find was to disable gsm and use only 3G...
[Touch HD General] tudork:
i had a completely different experience with my N95. the reception quality was much worse than that of my Touch HD, and it would always do exactly what you said your HD does: dropping calls, directing calls to voicemail, although signal was full, etc. My HD had this problem only once and then I realised it was the SIM. After I had it changed, no more problems. So you could try to change your SIM, too.
[Touch HD General] Bimbilator:
On O2?

I had a similar problem switching from Orange to O2 on my HD.

I found this thread on the O2 forum that may help.

http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=23749

I did the sim bit in another phone to "provision" it and it seems to be staying connected better.

The reception is still poor but it doesn't seem to drop as much.

Not sure if your on the same operator but might be worth while trying?

I dumped my Orange contract after "the text" fiasco a few weeks ago and went with O2 simplicity but its pretty poor here, so I might end up back with Orange although without the 15 months of my contract remaining :)

Cheers

I put a new SIM 3 months ago.

I am in the same position, moved from Orange with their fiasco to O2.

My signal where I live was fine with ORange but shocking with O2.

I have put my sim in an old Nokia and the signal is fine and I can make calls.

I have spoken to CS and got the usual "your phone isnt supported" stories, and she tried to get settings but couldnt do it, but also said my sim was provisioned.

I have tried all the different radios, from 1.14, to 1.16 xperia, to 1.17 and no difference at all (well 1.17 made the phone unusuable for me).

Im pretty much fed up of it really, my HTC is a brick when im at home as its impossible to make calls with.

If i need to reflash please tell me how.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
that is an old issue. cooked roms should not be used with a password lock. it has nothing to do with spb mobile shell, or it would be gone after a hard reset. you permanently locked your device now!

no reset will help you, the only option you have is flash a new rom, well, or re-flash the same rom.

the way to do that is to go to the -=wiki wizzard=- and follow the steps there, don't skip anything, and you'll be fine. and maybe you wouldn't wanna set a password that time.
