HELP! cant make phone calls ... (problem with SIM?)

OK, I love my IIs, i've had no problems, bar this one... and it's quite a big problem.
I dont know whats causing it, but every now and then, after the IIs has been running (ie, i haven't given a soft-reset), i cannot call anyone, and no one can call me (or send smses, receive smses).
Its annoying because I dont know when its happen until i try and send an sms.
All I know is that when i try and call someone i just hear 'beep beep beep' and when someone calls me it gets diverted to my voicemail.
A soft reset always fixes it right up - anyone else had this problem??

Here is the reason:
O2 Xda IIs (Optus - Australia)
R 1.02.00
G 1337.32
D 1.12.62 WWE

You should update to:
R 1.06.02
G 1337.32
D 1.31.00 WWE

thankyou!! how exactly do i do that?

Is that the solution? I right now have:
Rom version: 1.22.00 WWE
Rom Date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.02
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtRom version: 1.22.169 WWE
Where do I find the other Rom update???
With Rom above I have the same problem as stated before!

Damn I use Pocketnav, which also says it does!! Would that be the problem? But it also happens when I don't close programs for a long time, so even the phone app!!

Thank you thank you thank you!
I was running magic button, and was finding that the phone app was working, and I could connect, but there'd be no audio.
Magicbutton would try to kill the phone app, but would fail. I'm guessing that it left the phone app in a confused state!
Stopping running magicbutton appears to have solved the problem - but I now have the problem that lots of apps are hanging around in memory.
Anyone found a "magicbutton" like solution that coexists with Phone?
Ta,
Nick.

try "my tools" by micro cheng. it's a nice freeware and has been runnimg smoothly on my device for one week now.

Or use SPB Pocket Plus, it has a task closer build in! It is not freeware, but is very great value!

yeah i use that I'm currently just testing it about twice a day.. i expect (unless there's a fault with the ROM) that its some random software i'm running...

Benzo, if it makes you feel any better, I have exactly the same set-up as you. Even the same telco.
What's your list of installed software?
Here's mine:
Avantgo Client
Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX
Spb Pocket Plus 2.2
Cirond pocketWinc
Wei's Soft SoftReset
Mamaich Phone Extension
O2 Service
Birdsoft All-In Hold'Em
SBSH.net PocketWeather
Redshift Legacy
O2 O2 Service
MpegTV PocketTV
MohairSofa Calendar+ Today Plug-In
O2 Connect
Hope we can track it down!

Could it be task manager of SPB Pocket Plus causing problems too??

i dont *think* its pocket plus, the phone has been running for about 2 days now without a reset and no problems.. i have a weird feeling that it *possibly* is when i activesync via bluetooth? anyone else think that could be a possibility? guess i could trial it tonight after work

I haven't done a AS via bluetooth for weeks. My problems are random, every few days.
I'm going to start removing programs, one by one, and track this gremlin down!

damn! was hoping that might be the problem.. Kevin, what version ROM have you got? I got my iis second week of Jan, and i haven't upgraded the ROMs yet.. I'm thinking maybe this could fix the problem?

Mine is EXACTLY the same as yours .... that's why I wanted to know what software you have installed!
I didn't know there WAS a ROM upgrade available?

yeah - check out the second post in this thread.. you can up the radio rom and the regular rom.. apparently it doesn't make a difference to this problem tho... but hey, i haven't had a soft reset in a couple of days and everything is going great!
of course i have no idea how to upgrade my rom... i've searched through the forums but there's no step-by-step guide.. and plus, i dont want to have to re-install everything onto my pda if the rom isn't the problem!

I also have the same problem.
Apps include:
Avantgo Client
Spb Pocket Plus 2.2
O2 Connect (stopped from the start menu, ie. requires manual connect)
Pocket Informant
Vito Voice Dialer
Pocket TV
Resco File Explorer
Resco Stickies
Resco Photo Viewer
Spb Finance
Spb GPRS Monitor
Age Of Empires
Spb Arkball
Adobe Reader 2.0
Co Pilot Live
I am also using Optus and get the problem with the phone, SMS and GPRS. After calling Optus for assistance the answer has been a regular soft reset.
I am hoping there is a fix out there.
Cheers,
AP.

is the i-mate pda2 rom more stable than the xdaiii o2 uk rom

hi all!
i've got a very unstable xdaiii o2 uk
is the i-mate pda2 rom better?
i hope someone can help me cause its very frustrating!!!
thanks
Fantomas

personally, i found it better

Where can i find the latest i-mate rom????

I've found it better - though not significantly at least the lockups are less.
You can download it via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23736&highlight=pda2+imate
Cheers
Ant

thanks Jim and Anton!
an other thing, i'm getting lock ups with tomtom 3+ BT GPS. i know about the turn off phone method to stop locking but whats the point of having a pda phone edition then! so its got to be an other solution!
does the pda2 rom stops the above problem ? cause the radio version on the pda2 is higher! by the way i've already uninstalled o2 stuff!
or should i hard reset and go corporate on xdaiii (to see if lockups stops) before changing over to i-mate rom?
lastly! are the programs on the PDA2 excatly the same than xdaiii? (i mean all programs identical)
thanks again!
i'm impressed with this forum and all of you on it!
Fantomas

On TT3 I found lockups dropped substantially once I'd hidden the POIs - have you tried this? TT5 (now that I've added the POI and the 5.10) seems a lot better.
Some programs are not included like in the O2 version, but then also some things are included in the ROM as standard like the fax viewer, and also a copy of Skype. CallerID and MMS programs are still there as they're integrated into the ROM.

SPB Plus makes my XDA IIs sluggish

Hi, SPB plus looks like a great app, however have anyone experience thesame problem as mine?. I'm running WM5 and no cooked rom and when I tried this apps. it really makes my system run so so so slow, so that forces me to uninstall this app. (I have tried both versions 2.5 & 3 with no luck)
Have anyone got some idea on any conflict with WM5 and how to fix the conflict if there is any....
Thanks.....
:shock:

hi, im also using XDA IIS and when i installed spb plus 3.0 on it, everytime i send a SMS, the message is sent twice... what must the problem with it... its a gud application but i was also forced to uninstall it..
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 3/10/05
Radio Version: 1.12.00
Protocol Version 1337.42
Ext ROM version 1.40.923 WWE

that's what I feel too.. SPB makes my unit sluggish...
Josh,
To avoid sending double SMS. Don't close your messaging after sending the SMS.. just let it go to minimized mode.
You can set it by putting tmail.exe in the exception box in SPB plus.. That way when you close all, it will still remain open in the background.

Also if you have the SD card monitor on the today screen, turn it off. It'll make the unit hesitate for 5-6 seconds before going to the today screen.

true
Adding apps to WM5 makes it really slow, i run minimun apps to keep mine ok

I've been using PocketPlus for the past 6 months and really like it, but I uninstalled it recently and switched to iLauncher because I just couldn't handle how slow my device becomes when I use PocketPlus.

I get the double SMS too ;(
Thanks guys its been driving me crazy I use SBP 2.5 and my girlfriend noticed i was sendign her the same message again and again-lol i was even on the point of calling Orange customer service to try to work it out!
I will add the message program to the exceptions on spb i think
Thanks guys

any way to speed up the pda after installation of spb plus 3?

i also found that is the sbp plus working very slow on mine too. so have any patch or solution for it? :?

Will try disabling my (Today plugin) on SX66 with WM5, if see if it's any faster for the next few days then.

Duh! My Orbit ate my memory !!!

I noticed something peculiar today and wanted to know if anyone else faced it...Tried searching forum on this...but not seen..
I have an O2 Orbit with Bepe WM6 no fancy apps except Tomtom.
Today drove appx 40x2 miles return - the GPS worked fine, battery was great. But when I started off I remembered my Program memory was appx 24.8 free and a soft reset maybe a day before - by the time i returned home in evening - it went down to 13.2MB free - there were no programs running - i had closed tomtom and anything else that was running and still did not get my memory back.
I noticed the memory was low - coz once i returned home and switched off tomtom - i received a call and found the keypad very slow and barely unresponsive...so checked running programs and found calender running...shut that and still the mem was low...no impact !
then when i did a soft reset - voila! it was back ! the memory came back to 24.6 - so where did the memory go?
Is tomtom causing a leak???
is is windows itself?
any thoughts?

I am having a similar problem with both B&B Rom (v3) and the official HTC ROM.
After soft reset the phone has 24mb of program memory. I have the X button set to close apps on press of X so I know that programs are not left running.
After about 24-36 hours I have 2mb left. This is happening every soft reset.
I only have the following installed if it helps:-
WM6 HTC Rom
Phoneweaver (on today screen)
TodayAgenda (on today screen)
pTravelAlarm (on today screen)
TomTom 6 (installed but not used yet)
VJDevicelock
BatteryStatusExt 1.04
oxiosmemory
WindowsLive (on today screen) - ROM built in version set to sync with hotmail "as items arrive". I do not use Messenger
I hope that this can give some insight as I am getting fed up with having to soft reset every day or 2!

Pretty sure it's a windows fault. I also saw that using the first versions of WM6 we had, and it didn't tally with any application use.
I no longer see it using the same applications in a WM6 v3.7 environment, so my advice to you is upgrade that OS.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I am using ROM version: 3.7.707.1 which is the official "HTC Asia" release, and the problem still exists.

I am using the same version and I do not have any problems, no memory loss, nothing.

Are you using Tomtom/GPS also? Maybe it has something to do with the GPS?

I am using Tomtom 6, Pocket informant, Resco explorer, Resco Radio, Core Player, Resco Audio, Photo viewer, Style Tap, Spb Brain evolution, and Virtual pool mobile. All with no problems.

Please see me previous post "TomTom 6 (installed but not used yet)"

Maybe...
Hey.. maybe it works, kind of like the RAM in a computer. when you use your com. it also fills up your ram.
Maybe the phones just dont discard the temp info in the RAM as well as our computers??
...Just a thought

Artemis Vanilla 4.01 and Touch 4.01 issues

I have serious problems with Touch 4.01 and even Vanilla 4.01 reported as stable. It is fare away to be stable at all. Continuous freezing the mobile phone functionality. Telephone looks like everything is fine, but SMSes are not delivered and calls are in my voice mailbox. To find out the problem, I have downloaded Bepe's Artemis kitchen 2.1, what was (my feeling) the source of this ROM. And possibly recognized the problem. The Bepe issued two versions, second is fixed. But it seems that this Vanilla and Touch (4.01) has been generated by the first one. I have checked the size, date and time of OEMDrivers and they are different. Meschle, is it possible to generate your ROM by this fixed version? Thanks in advance.

Hi, how long do u have such problems and who is ur mobile operator. according to ur name I suppose that u r from Czech Rep.
I'm asking b'cause during last weekend I had also problem with my phone which leaded to reflashing of my phone but it was problem of operator.
I'm by O2 and have O2 XDA Orbit. I wasn't able to get any sms or report of delivery, i could send them only. and now i have bit different problem, sometimes sms from me is delivered, is shown in phone but it is something what i sended already before and then it dissapears from phone reciever's phone.
Such serious problems with ROM are strange, b'cuause those ROMs are out more then month and as I know, nobody had the same problem as u. I'm using Touch 4.01 without cube from first day when it was published here with no problem. i'm not couting problem with memory leaking which is probably problem of wm6.1 rom in general then Touch 4.01.

No, I am not only one who referring this problem. Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375930
Correct, I am from CZ and using T-Mobile, but in roaming quite often. But it happens independently on network. Touch Full 4.01 was more or less horrible, Vanilla 4.01 is better, but still time to time is freezing the radio part. To avoid discussion about radios, I have tried last 3 versions with the same result (3.08,2.98,2.97). But I really believe that problem is with OEMDrivers in Bepe's Kitchen. What Bepe even highlighted, that these drivers in first version are for different type of phone. The most stable version, what I had, it was B&B4.2 for more than 1/2 year. But of course WM6.1 is much faster. It was my reason for upgrade.

ok, then i cannot help, this is up on guys which r cooking ROMs.
will cross my fingers for u to solve this problem. it is nice from guys that they provided new ROMs based od WM 6.1 two months earlier than Macro**** but such serious problem takes us back to prehistory, b'cause having phone with which u r scared to call b'cause of freezing has no point.

Same problem here, flashed a lot of different roms to my device but only having these freeze problems since touch 4.01.
Right now it's only once per week. But it's been much worse: reboot, lock after 30 secs, freeze 5 secs later, repeat. Had to reflash my device. (And i always flash twice with a new rom).
I hope the fix is as easy as just building the rom with a newer version kitchen.

same problem for me.
i am running 4.01 Touch with full cube, operator is orange netherlands.
sometimes i have to reset the phone 3 times a day, after that i get a whole lot of sms (normal) and the calls i missed.
going to try 4.02 now, hope that's one's better

doesnt matter what version do you use - but always flash twice(one by one) and make a hard reset after flashing. Result is - much more stable work.

@d3ton4tor
I'm on dutch orange too, but haven't had a problem with touch lite 4.01. I'm using touch vanilla 4.02 now and still no probs.. I've got a MDA Compact tho..

I never had any problems with 4.01, or any of the previous roms, but since using 4.02 i have had several lockups now, about once a week. So maybe i better reflash it again see if that cures it ?

It is interesting. I have made update for Touch Vanilla 4.02 and everything works perfect. Sometime the less is more. I would never go for all Cube staff, it is only the memory eater from my perspective. I have realized that I can remove from StartUp folder WiFi link (I have T-Mobile ARTE110 - WiFi missing) and it is better. Under more or less conditions above 20 MB and it is very valuable especially for navigation SW like iGO.

Try PagePool 8M
Try PagePool 8M.
Pagepool
My English is so bad.

Or try the 4.02 it works fine here in my HTC 3300 also t-mobile client ;-).
Flashed it yesterday and works fine no freeze or what ever, even gps and radio works fine.

Destinator n maps
hey i just installed destinator 7 on my o2 orbit it doesnt detect the map infact no map at all
can any1 help me with this???

Hi,
You need to ensure that the maps folder is included in the destinator apps folder. That is when your destinator would be able to detect the maps.
By the way can you share your Destinator 7 (Mumbai Map) with me ??
Regards,
kailash

I too have problems with the Touch 4.1 vanilla rom but my issues manifested themselves after I had been using the rom for a while without any problems. Now I run out of memory quicker when using PIE and have to reset a lot more. Also sometimes am unable to connect to GPRS/EDGE without a reset. I will be trying any new roms that come out but its becoming clear to me that I need to upgrade.
