Hi gentlemen,
I have a QTEK 2020 and have a very annoying problem: Every few days my phone loses its connection to the cellular network. When it happens - nothing is seen; everything looks perfectly normal (even shows GSM reception), however no-one can call me. When this happens, I can't initiate outgoing calls either. Only a soft-reset fixes the problem.
I'm using ROM version 1.72.00WWE and Radio 1.17.00.
I saw in this forum that there's a newer Radio version - 1.17 and I was thinking maybe it will solve the problem I have.
However I'm seeing updates to MDA II and XDA II.
Can anyone advise me what to do? Is there an upgrade to QTEK as well? If not - can perhaps someone "compile" a neutral version (no branding)?
And another question - is it possible to upgrade just the Radio?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ariel Cattan
I just notice that when my phone goes into locked mode, incoming calls will ring once and then terminate. One the caller end, they get a busy tone, i.e. I am on the line. I am missing a lot of calls this way.
I set my XDA IIs to lock and require password when idle for 1 hour. I am using this more as a security feature so that if I lose the phone, at least it will lock up after 1 hour if idle.
anyone else facing this? any ideas how to rectify?
I don't have an hour to kill, but I set my phone to 1 minute lock and waited 5 minutes then rang it, but I'm afraid I didn't have any problems with my XDA IIs.
It just rings and rings and rings and rings. Sorry!
Loosing calls on locked phone
Hi - I have exactly the same problem - when the phone rings (in locked mode) and I either touch the "answer button on screen" or the hard "green" button on the phone - I get a message saying "unable to answer call" and the call gets dropped. The only solution seeems to be to unlock phone and wait for caller to try again!
Hmm I tried that way too (answering the call after few rings) and also worked fine (which I'm kinda glad about obviously, but I can see how annoying that'd be!)
I'm using:
Radio: 1.02.00
Protocol: 1337.32
Rom: 1.12.62 WWE (10/04/04)
ExtROM: 1.12.178 WWE
Was from a unit sent straight from O2 which arrived 28th January.
Hopefully you've both got old firmware and can upgrade it via O2's website link. (Links somewhere on this forum, but don't ask me where!)
Argh that was from me :-(
I'm using
Radio 1.02.00
ROM 1.31.00 WWE (12/13/04)
Protocol 1337.32
ExtROM 1.31.920 WWE
which looks more up to date than yours..
The newest radio is 1.06.02. I don't have such problems with this version.
Guys, this problem may be caused by some applications that have an integrated call handling feature, or that have any features related to calls or phone applications, check the settings for some programs that you might have like for example : JGUI phone profiles, SPB Phone plus, I really don't remember all apps, but the above mentioned apps may have some settings that may cause this problem to happen.

OK it worked! it says hard reset at end of proceedure and shows different PDA so i "soft reset instead" and so far it works very very well..
PROs fixed for me:
Bluetooth Crackle on Jabra BT250 headset fixed!
Surfing Explorer via Random Wifi Connections fixed!
SKype messaging works fine, no voice test yet, was via random WIFI!
Streaming LBC from london at 12kbps via Randon WIFI! Seamless.
Cons I fixed. some i cant.
If player dosnt "stop" just tap forward or back track. good enough workaround for me.
NEW tab can be brought back to front screen bottom left buy going into SETTINGS/SYSTEM/MENUS/NEW MENU TAB Enabled
CAMERA has blue pixely snow, I am using Flouresent Light energy saver bulbs but is slightly worse than old firmware, need to check daylight settings. ANY HELP WITH HOW TO SWAP .CABs to fix this would be great!
havnt done nearly enough testing, pocket tunes and tomtom5 are next, they worked ok on old firmware. fingers crossed they should be ok on this one. It hasnt crashed ONCE and not one SOFT RESET , im listening to LBC LIVE Surfing the NET and Using Skype all at once! THANK YOU XDA DEVELOPERS CREW!!!!

im continously having problems with my phone so i thought it would be better to ask rather than keep messing around.
firstly ive lost a few programs one being "album" another problem is that sometimes i cannot hear the caller, until i soft reset. another problem is that sometimes my tomtom will totally shut down during a journey and also that when i escape the tomtom, it will turn off bluetooth.
is there anyway of fixing some or all of these problems.
or does anyone live local to me (heathrow airport UK) that can sort these problems.
Paul.
i am a newbie of Vodafone (PH20B2),
Device Version is
Rom Version : 1.31.00 WWE
Rom Date 12/13/04
Radio Version : 1337.42
Extrom Version : 1.31.175 WWE
with Windows mobile 2003 Second Edition
the problem is that sometime i could not receive the call , the message occurs "unable to answer the call".
When i try to tab phone icon the message " The phone is not ready wait 15 seconds and try again" occurs .
anybody could help me what to do.
I am getting the same problem why is this?
I have a o2 xda IIs, i have installed WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) Updated [30.11.2007]
i face the same problem, furthermore i realize when the battery is near 30% da phone becomes buggy in the sense dat messages stop getting sent and after soft resets da trouble is the network stops getting detected only after 5 minutes i see network signals,as soon as i hookup the phone with power the sms problem is immediately solved!
It may be helpful to note i have not installed any third party software and the phone has been hard reset only a few days ago!
Does the parite virus affect the phone? i installed parite infected .exe software through AS 4.5 and as a precaution hard resetted the phone following that!!
furthermore tapping answer doesnt work and the call automatically gets disconnected!!!
Try Upadating your ROM to Xplode's one. And yes one important thing , always keep your bluetooth on ( you may uncheck the beam option). This may solve your problem.

NO dont do that. it will drain your battery faster if bluetooth is on.
make sure it is OFF and also check the infrared (Beam).
You're battery might be failing to power up the phone module.
Try a new battery.
I've experienced some used battery.
Below 30% is very critical for ALL PocketPC operations, this is the point where some glitch tends to pop-up because the battery cant support
the power requirement of the hardware in which the software was using
(Ex. Phone, Camera, LCD, Speaker, Mic, Digitizer) thus, it fails bigtime or sometimes crashes.
Except if your battery is newer where the 30% which steadily and accurately give power to our BA.
And make sure you terminate all your programs if you've finished using it, if it is running it might affect the power consumption because it is still present in the memory.
anyone can sync without using original cradle or bluetooth? i m having problems with non-ori cables..on usb port.. help pls!!!

Does this happens right after powering on ?
It is normal to take a long time to boot up the SIM Cards configuration and specially SIM contacts onto the phone's memory.

OMG i realize after 35% my phone starts getting buggy, messages dont get sent :s phone hangs and has to be reset :O...can anyone tell me if a new battery for a blue angel is a good idea? and furthermore I am willing to invest in a new battery can anyone send me links for a cheap O2 XDA IIS battery which will last rigorous use? can anyone verify stability issues after 30%?
The phone is not ready. Wait 15 secondsd and try again. !!!
And can't open Options for the phone and not able to send SMS.
Using:
WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5
Radio 1.12
Trying reflashing and also with another PV WM6 2000 and trying to send SMS immidiately after reflashing but no luck! Though it worked in the first days of switching to WM6.
Could it be the Radio 1.12 version problem?
Thanks for helping!
Ok see if you SIM is perfectly making contact. I had the same problem. I did put some bit of paper on the over the SIM . So that after closing the back cover it fitted snuglly to its slot.

I did charge the battery and while in the cradle the phone Options and sending out SMS says the same thing about waiting for 15 seconds.
But the phone itself works with incoming and outgoing calls and I can receive the SMS !!!

Which upgrading method of the 2 that are described in the XDA Wiki?
Last time I tried both it seems it didn't work for me.
One says that is just Radio updating and the other the whole WM operating system?
Kind Regards
www.myspace.cn/taijiyoga
Just try the radio updating only. The one in the wiki is good.
or copy the radio.nbf to where nk.nbf is. then flash both only if you want.
if you just want the radio. delete the nk.nbf.
then launch MAUpgradeUT_NoID.exe
I had a very same problem.
The problem was solved by buying a new battery.
At least for me, the only problem was the battery. Now everything is going fine...
Yup. Mostly, but not all, problems are battery related. our BA's really a powermonger when it comes to eating battery mAh
so the most common advice for a hardware failure or such is a change of battery.
note: even our desktop PC's malfunction if it is running undervolt.
