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)

Vito Voice Dialer
Pocket TV
Resco File Explorer

Resco Photo Viewer
Spb Finance
Spb GPRS Monitor
Age Of Empires
Spb Arkball
Adobe Reader 2.0

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,

BBConnect and ActiveSync

First off, THANK YOU to all who contribute here. This site has been ALOT of help.
Question...
I upgraded to WWE 1.42 Rom to have the blackberry...
Problem is now Activesync will and will not sync calendar.
I've read a few posts on going into bb and checking and unchecking pim calendr sync. but even when it does sync, after taken out of the cradle it will delete all calendar entries on the BA.
I've not read any fixes for this, so I am asking the community for help.
Also since upgrading to 1.42, I've noticed a significant lag..
I have SPB 3.0, Phone Alarm, Screen Lock, and an upgraged calendar. all were on prior to upgrade and BB connect.
I'm on US tmobile if that helps, and am recieveing bb emails straight to my phone. Thanks in advance for any help!

I Have exactly the same problem I am on t mobile uk This problem has also only occured since i used the up grade.

I have found the problem i think but dont know how to solve.
I have down graded the phone to the old rom and in the instant email settings there is no Rim Settings. It looks to me as if the Rim setting and MS Sync are fighting for control of the Calander, Which causes the pairing with the pc to be deleted.
So i will stick with the old rom for now although its not as good ie cant get mail alert sound etc.
Anyone have any other ideas please post.
Also one otherthing i have noticed when the phone is in the cradle it cant collect email via blckberry.
Seems t-mobile are no help at all
Thanks for reading this
Merry festive season to you all

excell99a,
does the old rom that you are using have blackberry instant email? if so which one?

Yes it does have instant email
its MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe
There is a link in the downloads
You also have to add the Camera2K5_v1 to get the camera to work

This fault has been fixed in the new ROM released yesterday by O2. It has an updated version of the blackberry client.
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2s_soft.html

Sorry
This is for Xda II ?
Will it work for t-mobile MDA III ?

Its for Xda IIs which is HTC blueangel.
You may need to get the t-mobile version (if they have it). At least you know there is a fixed version from RIM so its possbile for t-mobile to release it.

I'll confirm this IS a working rom with WORKING BB Connect!! no more Calendar and Activesync issues!! EVEN after soft resets!! I downgraded from 1.42 to this 1.40, love it!!

I have been unable to load the O2 ROM on to t-mobile UK MDA III. Get country error code
Does anyone know if T-mobile are fixing this or is there an easy way to get the o2 Rom to load

WM6 on P3300 at last

See the attached statement from HTC.
http://www.europe.htc.com/z/pdf/press/WM6_statement_v6.pdf
What do you say ?
Does someone have an access to the new ROM ?

I may need to change my pants Hope it's true though

when you say 'WM6 at last'..what you mean is WM6...eventually...'

lol yes...eventually
Hope this update will fix the "sd corruption problem" as well..

And here http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6269.html is the same news in HTML.

Weird..
The link from HTC Europe is gone.
Btw, here's another one:
http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001709,62006873,00.htm

Will it only be for Europe or will it be extended to Asia.

I just hope that ActiveSync 4.2 is going to be compatible with it because I hate the 4.5 due to the fact you have to type in your password each and every single time you want to sync the phone up on the same computer.

What do you mean? Do you type your password before synchronization with PC having PDA partnership established?

I tot you could choose to save the password so that they will not prompt everytime ?

It have nothing to do with the ActiveSync version. It's a problem with your network. The best thing is erasing the AS profile, and create a new one.

When I installed ActiveSync 4.5, it didn't give me the option to save the password like 4.2 does.
Has nothing to do with the network because it is installed on 1 computer.
Even after a fresh install of the AS program, it will not recognize the current profile with the same information.

Longhair, I've used AS 4.5 for about 1 week now (with very many synchs) and I never had to put in a password. Thus, I do not think it is a "problem" with 4.5, perhaps you should check your settings or download frsh 4.5 app from Microsoft direct (if your source was difêrent).
Cheers.

Download from M$ site and no option to save password in settings.

AS 4.5 Beta
i've got A/S 4.5 beta, on my Exec with WM6 it askes for a password to be entered on my Exec, but with my orbit on WM5 it has the option to save password, so i'm guessing it's more WM rather than AS.

Tmobile NL f*ck*rs
What a shame! T-mobile netherlands doesn't have any intention to release an upgrade. (Customer service answer per mail) I hope there will be an other way to do this

It doesn't say anything, I bet that when you send the same email again but to another person at T-Mobile, the answer will be different! most people at T-mobile now nothing! and even when it is true, HTC will and when you have a unlocked phone you can always put the HTC rom on your MDA Compact III
No worries man!

Thanks for your reply

About that we can agree.
I hope you're right about the possibility that T-mobile will be releasing an upgrade somewhere in the near future.
And thanks for the info about the possibility of putting a HTC-rom on an MDA compact 3. If there's no other way, I will do this.
Tnx again!

hope?
lets hope that o2 uk release a new and improved WM6 rom, someone keep WM5 handy just in case

Is there a WM6 upgrade available for the HTC-P3300?
For i am to blessed with the near perfect *cough* service of T-Mobile Netherlands, and would have to try really hard to care less about their warranty.

WM6 Black 3.0.1 advice please

Hi All,
Wow, Been a while since i had to post on here for help.
OK, before you all start flaming, Yes i have searched for a few days, inc. google and the WM6 Black forum 4winblack to no avail,
Everyone asking but no one answering and just flaming (hence no one can find the answer when searching and leaving them no choice but having to ask)
ME.
Member on here since 2005 ( so no noob, I always search and find )
have a MDA vario II HERM 300
Running Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.10.OLipro
Radio ver. 1.41.00.10
T-mobile UK W+W
OK the burning question that has me stumped.
and i am cringing cause i dont want you to flame throw me.
Windows Live issue
Unable to establish an internet connection. Can this be fixed and How?
I have re installed WM VI black Live & messenger cab but still same issue.
Messenger Sign in as issue
How do i get to sign in there is no where to sign in
just a blank pick and the option to go online.
Are these issues fixed and are they just relevent to WM6 Black or all packages, am tempted to downgrade or switch roms in hope.
Finally as last resort will posket msn work on WM6
Again sorry for asking but i do truly search, it a shame when you do get new users using such a great forum and they get flamed, Remember if everyone is treated in this way, how can anyone search and find the answer.
I have opened countless posts on the subject only to find the person asking flamed and no answer given. This makes it near inpossible to find the correct answer.
Didn't come on to moan LOL. Have a good un all,

Can't help on your other issues as I don't use Messenger or MSN, but I have no trouble with Windows Live with this rom. Connects with no problems.

You need to reenter your 3G modem settings in your connections so that it knows how to connect to the network. wap.cingular and then your 7 digit phone number is hte password.

Am able to browse web fine and hitting speed of 1200KB sec

hmm.. I have seen these issues before in other posts and enouctered some myself. Pimpmyblack has a tab which will allow you to have your gprs/media net on all the time (assuming you have unlimited plan). From my experience there is a bug with live, it doesnt like to establish gprs conn if it is not alread on. I have noticed this with piscel browser too. As much as I hate doing it, my non-hack work around is to open pie and connect to google. this establishes connection w/ gprs. its not ideal, but I have exhaustedly serached for a fix to this too with no avail. hopefully that can hold u over until the geniuses figure somethin out.

Yeah it maybe something with WM6 i think and the way it allows programs to hook up to the internet. For example everytime i use my opera mini i have to first open up explorer to establish an internet connection and then i can start using opera mini. So that maybe what is required for you to do. But i would highly recommend you to just switch over to one of the newer roms that have been cooked. I was on black 3.0.1 and just had to many problems with bluetooth and connections to the internet. So i strongly recommend that buddy.

thanks for the suggestions, glad others have herd of the problem but unable to find fix.
yes. I have tried pimp my black and changed settings to internet always on.
also tried with internet connection open and then trying windows live and messenger but both problems still exist.
shame as accessing my hotmail accounts instantly is a must.
looks like will have to try your suggestion of another ron.
recommendations ?
thanks

Well it looks like This was one good thread. started good and ended good. So lets lock it up if its cool with you guys.

agree, thanks to everyone.
to sum up.
I could not find a fix to the issues I had :-{
I eventually took the advice and changed roms.
now running Custels 2.5 and everything. I mean everything is working fantastic. plus the bonus of office 2007 and live is running great.
I can only suggest black is a little buggy for myself but hey im happy with Custels 2.5
thanks to all again.
try not and leave it another 2 years before I post again lol.

msn live insists on connecting GPRS

i've tried this on 3 different ROMs now and it's always the same
i'll have my WLAN connected and working fine
but if i use msn live it insists on connecting GPRS and ignores the WLAN altogether
any ideas ?
it's got me stumped

Yes, most anoying stuff for many of us...

You can get Messenger work over Wifi only if you config the Connections to any unconfigured settings (liek default My ISP before config).

Good luck with that. I dumped WLM because of this and use Pocket messenger instead. Does the job and does not screw up your contacts by syncing with your hotmail account.

Imagine you have just flashed your TyTN, and get connected trough Wifi. You have not configured the GPRS/3G connection yet. In this situation, live messenger works over Wifi. But if messenger detects any GPRS/3G data service available, use it before any other data service. Live Messenger is coded to use GPRS/3G before Wifi.

right, so i need to use pocket messenger then
that's good because i hate the syncing thing it does
thanks for the advice

According to M$, that issue is fixed in the newest version....6.0.6000.16386

and where do we get this latest version from?

Thanks for the information.
However this is still considered a bug since at some point in time you will need to set your GPRS.

GPRS and BT dial-up
The same thing completely occurs to me with some different ROM.
In addition, the line of GPRS and BT dial-up often cuts when suspending
it.

More thah a bug i beleave is a bad design. Take in count MSN Live is made for many PDA, and no all the PDAs have Wifi, so perhaps they forgot to make Wifi as preferred connection for the devices that have Wifi.
Pumpiron says this is fixed in newer releases.

Goto CommManager and turn off "Phone" and turn on "WLAN" (so only Wlan is enabled) then sign into MSN (it will force it to use WLAN) and then once youre in, re-enable "Phone" in CommManager! works for me

More of a 'workaround' than a 'it works' though...

Well, Windows Live can be unistalled only if was installed before...if was cooked in, then you can't uninstall.
The best way to have only Pocket messenger is to flash any lite ROM (dopod by edhass, Schaps lite, JJ Black lite, TNT lite.....) that don't include the Windows Live, so you can select what to install on the ROM.
