I´ve experienced problem when loosing connection to 3G Network. When I loose the connection it will not connect again. Many times I´ve been forced to softreset the device to be able to get signal again.
I have tried different radio versions.
Perhaps this is due to local network comviq. Im not sure.
Anyone got a clue how to solve this?
Im using a Vario II with Black Shadow and radio 1.41 on Comviq, everything works like a charm. Might depend on where you are? I've had some connection problems in the UK (mainly crashes when the phone switches between 2G and 3G) but nothing at all in Sweden.

I have recently changed to wm6, and changed radio rom.
I now have a problem with my signal.
When I start up my signal is great.
If I drive around for a while I get a no signal icon and "no signal" message.
If I manually switch a band to any variation I get the signal back.
I have changed roms, radio roms and varied all the settings but I still get this problem.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Signal drop

Hmmm let me guess Cingular customer??
what radio are you using??? if you are in the US, try using 1.40 radio, im using that one and its great, but i am on T-Mobile US...if you are on the UK 3G band, then try 1.43
I'm in South Africa... Not Cingular...tried 1.40... no change to the problem though
Have you tried going back to the radio you were previously using before this happened?

Thats pretty f***ed up. I have Cingular and dont have a problem. Signal all depends on what Radio you have.

There are several more radio versions after 1.40 you should read up and see what radon would work best in South africa.
I was using wm5 with 1.3? but others in SA are using 1.40 with no problems.
Hi guys!
I recently upgraded to WM6, but left my radio at 1.40.
I am having BIG BIG problems.
All of a sudden, I could have 5 dropped calls in two minutes.
I notice that whenever the phone goes into "3G", signal strength drops (sometimes to one bar), and it's terrible.
I am not sure if there is a way to disable 3G, and remain in EDGE, or if I should try to get my hands on 1.43 or even 1.41.
What's strange is that when I went from WM5 to WM6, I did NOT upgrade the radio.
I'm on Rogers in Montreal.
It's beyond horrendous!
Hi.. I always appreciate that you guys developed a lot of great stuffs..
But I couldn't find out any similar problem from this forum so that I have to write this thread.
My X01HT with Dopod official WM6(I tried more than 10 WM5 and WM6 roms) and my problem is GPRS mode is perfect! No problem at all, very stable, long battery life.
But when I choose auto or WCDMA (3G) mode, the connection quite often disconnected both voice and data.
I also tried most of the radio version here from 1.16 up to 1.48.
Some is a bit better like 1.27.00.00, 1.38.00.11 But still I couldn't use them as a voice and data connection.
The symptom is after call a person or receive a call, 3~4 second later disconnected. And then can not find out the signal until I off and on again.
After that it find again the UMTS signal and few minutes later it disconnected again.
What is the problem?? Radio? unlock procedure? My phone was wrong?? Can this problem be solved?
Please please help me,, I tried to search any similar problem and flash so~~ many roms and radio.. But it couldn't solve the problem...
Thanks in advance for your reply...
I forgot to mention that I am living in Hong Kong currently.
Same here, with my Hermes. That's why I keep 3G disabled unless I am using it for data/modem/internet sharing.
I am in the US (AT&T/Cingular) and I am attributing it to the carrier's network quality.
I get a similer problem in that if i am attached to 3g or hsdpa then most of the time i cannot make a call.. it just disconnects before dialing.
i've had to turn 3g off as to be able to make (and i presume receive) calls using 1.48 radio rom although its happened with other roms
First of all,, I feel comfort that this problem is not only mine.
And thanks for your prompt reply.
Which means this problem is possibly carrier's quality problem?
Or radio roms'???
Is there any suggested solution?
Hopefully some good reply from an expert...
I would say it has more to do with your reception of HSDPA probably the area you are at more than anything since it seems that out of the 100,000 people that have downloaded WM6 from this forum only a handfull have this problem. I do NOT and I live and work in Nyc where the 3G connection is really good and works like its suppose to. it could also be an issue with the chip inside your phones I would go to the wireless store and see if another hermes does the same as yours. if not you have a faulty phone and should get it replaced.
After upgrading from my XDA IIs to my new 8525 I immediately flashed the Schaps 3.54b WM6 ROM. After setting up the connection settings just as I had had them on my BA I noticed the internet didn't work. I thought it might be a T-Mobile issue since with the T-MobileWeb service you must use the proxy server to route HTTP traffic. I put my SIM back into my BA and the internet works! Next my thoughts are that this being a new Edge capable device that they could detect this and block service. Well just today I flashed the Dopod Lite rom, internet still broke. But then I flashed Black X b2 and low and behold its working! I did think that the Dopod Lite "6mb PP" was a bit faster than black so I'd like to use it but why won't the net work on those two roms? Any ideas?
I Got near same Problem,
I was a Happy user with an old WM5 Black Rom. I checked the forums and found a discussion About a WM6 Black od Schnap's Rom. Schnap's in is favour. I tried the 3.54b Full Rom and wasn;t able to connect to the T-Mobile atenna. I kept on searching, when i changed to Manual Network selection I was able to connect.
When I tried GPRS it worked, when i went outside to get 3G you see the switch of reception from G to 3G in the Topbar, butt when trying to surf it doesn't work. Looks like some kind of block or setting.
I also tried 3.57a Full Rom it will connect butt then again no Data is comming in the Browser Windows. When i Switch to GPRS only it works.. I was ble to use the automatec network selection.
Very Strange and annoying...

fyi...T-Mobile USA has no 3G; only EDGE access. They told me they plan on having 3G later this year and they are testing it. My EDGE gprs internet access works great with schaps 3.54c.
When trying another SIM from KPN I have no problems.
It's strange, i flashed to another ROM 3.54c from Schap's again I ran into trouble. When i poppe in a SIM from another provider KPN, it worked inmediately. This KPN provider has gprs / umts and hsdpa.. You see the icon performing seamless handover for the data connection. When creating traffic if switches to hsdpa and when there is no or less traffic it goed back to UMTS, you see the icon switcing between 3G and H.
When putting back the T-Mobile SIM i have trouble connecting with the GSM antenna's you see the Antenna symbol seraching. Normally it fixes to the provider within 3-10 seconds. T-mobile only has GPRS and UMTS, also my UMTS subscription is trothled down to max 224 kb/sec (This is cheaper for monthly costs). Maybe the trotheling is the problem?
When it does connect sometimes, after driving to my home or after several warm resets it's hard to connect to 3G. My work is situated in a building which has coated windows. So inside the building I only have GPRS reception. GPRS is no problem, when i walk outside, it switches to 3G (UMTS) allmost instantly except there is no data connection handover. I'm unable to get any bit from the 3G connection. It appears to be a solid connection because you see the solid 3G above the reception indicators.
Puting back the KPN sim and everything works as it should.

Hey there,
is anyone else experiencing problems trying to connect to the internet using the GPRS Line in the O2 Network?
It was working all finde and then, from one day to the other, my phone kept losing GPRS, the "G" disappeared and it was unable to establish an internet connection. I can only get the "G" again by going to the Phone settings and manually select the O2 Network again. Then it works for about 5 minutes and i lose the signal again. So, to all german members with O2, anyone else having these problems?
Edit: Sorry for wrong board, realised it to late, but since i have Meshles 3.01 Touch installed, i guess its also right here in the WM6 Forum
I have a Desire, running with Cool's Images (Sensation v3...7, Cool3D AceS). Since some weeks the network connection through GSM and also 3G is very unreliable. Phone calls break up, the signal symbols shows a good signal but I can't make calls nor am I reachable, often enough the phone doesn't find any network, etc.. Sometimes it just works without any issue.
It all started when I was travelling to the US. But the issue remained when I was back in Germany. I even replaced the SIM card. Other phones with the same SIM card work without any problems. I tried Software Updates (see above). And I'm using the latest radio (32.56.00.32U 5.17.05.23).
Anybody out there with any idea? Thx a lot!!!
