signal problem PDA2k - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

i have imate pda2k and have been switching between wm 2003, 5 n 6 a lot...
My device gives very weak signals....it comes n just go after some moments...i dont know what the problem is......i have tried to upgrade radio to 1.15 but no success..
i am in canada and is there any way of limiting the frequency to only 1900Mhz? and those signal booster stickers will help or not?
i know a lot of ppl have this problem but there is no solution so far.......any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance........

Phone problem - neither myself or caller can hear anything

Hi!
I have a problem with my QTEK9090. From time to time when either myself or caller calls to my PPC we can not hear anything! When I try to call back immediately the same procedure occurs. The only thing that temporarily solves this is then I do a soft reset of PPC. Until next time.
I have upgraded from original version 1.12.00WWE to 1.22.00WWE and to 1.40.00WWE. I got a beta version from technical support for radioversion (1.13.10) but without any success. I also have got a new SIM card.
Any ideas?
i have the same problems, and the same sys op... and i had applied all patch...grrrrrrrr :evil: :evil: :evil:
Is your BT on? If not turn it on and leave it on.
good luck
Hi!
Thanks for your replies. I will leave the BT on today and check any differences. Have you had the same problem yourself?
Hi!
matrix70 which version are you running? Have you tried different versions? Have you tried to contact technical support or Telia for this problem?
i'm italian and i bought ba in greece. I just have upgraded with 1.40wwe version, applied all patch...but the proble still here...grrr..i discover that it's coming when i try to use ba in fastest mode.. switching from an application to another in a very fast mode, or trying to recall quickly a number that it's busy.
matrix70 from version did you upgrade from, do you remember?
same problem here, i did read in another thread that this is a known problem and can only be solved by moving to wm5.
I have radio version 1.06.02 and will move to 1.11.00 to try my luck
now i have update from 1.40 to 1.42 and the problem it's seem disappeared.... but with this version i can't sync my calendar....wath a lolling problem ....
I have run with BT on for some days and the phone problem is not occured once.
Great to here that problem with phone is solved in next version.
I remember there was a thread a few months ago I think. I had the same problem when I got my IIs last July, but I just turned off the BT and up to now theres no prob..... I havnt upgraded my version yet, I still use the 1.31 coz everythings working fine
Search the forums for Unidirectional Audio patch. This will fix the problem. But you probably do need the 1.40 series ROM.
im having the same issues, anyone know how to fix it up???
sometimes cant make or receive calls till i make soft reset.
thanks in advance.
im running rom 1.40.
couldn't find "Unidirectional Audio patch"
anyone have any idea where can i find it? and if its really fixing this annoy problem
thanks in advance.
Hi!
You can find the patch here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/PDA2k_UniDirectional_Patch.sa.cab). It didn't help me at all. I still have problem when BT has been activated nextcoming calls I still can't here or the caller can here anything. The only thing that have helped me, from a tip in this forum, is to always have BT activated.
Regards,
Fredrik
Thanks for the answering m8.
I actualy have been experimented these issue with bluetooth off...
just tryed with bluetooth actived all time and seems to be working.. anyway don't like this fix at all .. consuming extra batery to make the phone working properly is ridiculous
i will try out the fix anyway.
Thanks.
there was a pollon here about this a few months back and 76% of the users in this forum experienced this problem to some degree. Never found a proper fix.
how come manufacturer companies havent take notice yet? or iven the supplied the proper fix to this? is a very important issue...
other licenses than Qtek 9090 got the same issue??? pda2k? and the other clones???? know about it???
for the moment i have to say by enabling bluetooth all time as working well so far ...

Best of the Best....Hilmi WM6 v1.1 with Radio 1.13

Yes...the problem is Radio 1.14....i did test it .....alot of hangs....just try 1.13 working very smooth and also Arabizer
problem is 1.13 has very low voice quality and voice tends to skip a lot specially with vodafone..that was with inrda 3.3 b6 .
now am using 1.14 with mobinil...very very bad gprs performance..voice is ok though...
i will try to go back to 1.13
thanks a lot
sorry
I'm sorry to bother you guys with what will probably turn out to be an easy solution/answer, but.... how do you get 1.1 wm6 with radio 1.13? i figured (and already flashing) that i should download helmi 1.1 ( the x.rar file) and download the German 1.13 radio rom (only one available, is there a difference in the languages regarding the files it installs?) and overwrite the files inside the "x.rar" (helmi's 1.1 wm6 rom) and THEN upgrade? i'm really really confused here....
My dream would be:
A guide to:
Installing wm6
with stable rom/radio whatever
and WORKING gprs (t-mobile)
And that when someone calls me, it DOES ring, instead of a half second ring before the voicemail kicks in
if anyone would like to help me personally out with the first part, and a lot of people with the second.... i would be very thankful!
Muchos gracias from The Netherlands

the phone ringing bit! just goto phone pad> menu> options>services tab> call forwarding,. get settings then adjust the settings when they come onscreen ie untick forward all calls, or change the amount of seconds to "forward after"
Arabizer & Hard keyboard!

Hello astraman. Thank you for your post, it's really enlightening. I want to check something with you...
1. Agu_Gaby Arabizer built 347.
2. Arabizer built 337.
I have used Helmi, Indra & PDAVIET and installed both the above (1 & 2). I realized with #1, when installing the Arab_Keyboard_fix files, the enlglish typing with the hard keyboard, it allow 70 charecters as well as arabic. Whereas with #2, with the same Arab_Keyboard_fix files installed, I get 160 for english and only 70 for arabic!
Now what is the difference and how to resolve this?
If any of you members know what's wrong, please explain..
thanks
Where Can I Get The 1.13.oo Radio From?
Thanks
This idea doesnt work for me. I use Vodafone UK, and after this radio install, its been one problem to the other. Major hangs, going back to 1.14
Yes, you are right 1.13 is better tahn 1.14.1, as gprs in 1.14 wouldn't reconnect after a voice call, sometimes it hangs in dialing and doesn't work unless you soft reset. Those peoblems occurs also with many wm5 and all other wm6 not helmi only. But after downgrading to 1.13 it is better now and no problem in dialing at all, but the GPRS problem aoccured once with me. I am using Vodafone, and didn't try it with Mobinil. I didn't install arabizer yet, hoping to try that version comes bundeled with Jasjam, it was the best in wm5 but not tested yet with helmi wm6 v1.1.

what network do you use and where are you located? I think this might have to do with service providers. now I am back to 1.14 and my exec is happier .
I'm using Vodafone AU on Helmi 1.1 WM6 w/Radio 1.14...
No Problems here yet...
In Italy too with 3, no problem with radio 1.14

Help ?! Calling problems!

Hello.
Can anybody help, or suggest something ?
Situation.
Have a XDA III 02 branded (PH20B1), WM 6, Radio 1.15.
Tha device is working perfect but:
calling problems: i can make and receive a call, i can hear the person called perfect, but the person I call can't hear anything, better case something like an old vinyl sound, but can't understand any of my words!
Ideas ?
Thanks a lot!
what ROM do you use? 2003? try to find the unidirectional patch at the wiki!
if the problem stays... just simply to upgrade to WM5 or 6...
good luck
adri
Thanks adri, but
as I said, I already have WM6 and Radio 1.15 on the BA.
Do I need an extra patch ?
At least anyone can tell if is a software problem, or hardware ?
I can hear perfect the person called/calling me.
Thanks!

No Phone/No Service

Hi all
I've got a problem regarding my Phone Service.
I woke up and my BA suddenly stopped blinking green on the Right led.
then i found out the icon saying no service.
i have been receiving service since i bought this phone,
this is just the first time it say something like this.
i tried everything upgrade/downgrade, changed sims and still it says that. "No Service"
i had put a sim PIN prompt so that i can detect if it's reading my sim.
it asks me for my pin but still... "No Service"
the one thing i noticed is that it doesnt scan anymore for services...
like the moving dots beside the antennae icon.
when i tried to bring out the option from the phone dialer it sometimes says "The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again"
have anybody had this kind of problem? how did you solved it?
Never heard of this kind of problem...Try contacting your supplier.
It seems that this problem appears on coutries where 850Mhz GSM networks exist.
There some topics about this, but no definitive solution yet. Upgrading radio to 1.15.00 helps, but doesn't solve this.
Which country are you using your BA ? Do you know if those networks exists there ?

Location: Philippines
Im using BA (O2 XDA2s)
R 1.15
G Variable (Been changing back and forth to 2003 and WM6)
D Variable (Been changing back and forth to 2003 and WM6)
Tried to change band on 2003 but to no avail.
Now i've upped again to WM6 and still no signal...
one thing has changed though...
it starts searching for service(running dots) but now it wont stop.
It seems that there are not 850Mhz or 1.900Mhz bands in Philippines, however there is 3G and uplink in 3G is usually 1.900Mhz.http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_ph.shtml
Which GSM bands are you using ? Did you try disabling 850 and 1.900 ?
JP
i did all the combinations... no go.
i've been searching for a program to diagnose the phone module, but cant find any.
i only wish someone in the technical side can help us with this.
Have you tried the sim car on another phone and see if you get service? Or try a sim card from a working phone to see if it works.

I've been searching other forums and found complaints and claims that this is a bug in the GSM radio. I've found complaints about this problem with BA, Himalaya, Atom and i-mate Jam (don't know the last two phones).
I've downgraded my BA to 1.42.00 (WM2003SE) and installed the following cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=240080&page=2 (be careful, the .cab on the first page is a modified version).
After installed select band 900 / 1800 only that should solve the problem.
I've only been using it for less than 24 hours, but so far so good. It seems that this cab is only compatible with WM2003, but i haven't tried with WM5 or WM6.
If you want to try on your own risk go ahead. Please report the results you had.

Thanks JP
will try it asap.

still doesnt work///
Mine did this, freaked me the bleeding hell out, it did.
I tried:
A hard reset
A few soft resets
Leaving the battery out for a while (was checking against a known good phone to make sure it wasn't my carrier)
After that, it started working again.

Silver,
Did you manage to run the .cab without errors ? Are you using WM6 ?
I can confirm to you that after using the BA with WM2003SE and this .cab for a week the problem has no longer appeared, so it seems solved on this OS anyway.
JP
Alternativa solution
Silver,
I've found this .cab in another thread. It seems to only enable bandswitch between 3G and GSM, but i thing it is worth a try in your case: http://commmgrpro.com/_wsn/page2.html
Here is the link for the cab: http://commmgrpro.com/db5/00454/commmgrpro.com/_download/BandSwitch.V2.4.2.CAB

Hey JP,
Thanks for all the help,
I tried every suggestions you said but still the phone aint working.
So i've decided to go look for a service center.
They said it was the mobo. *sigh*
I returned my item to where i bought it and exchanged it for a fee.
I got my semi-new BA again.
If ever that thing will happen... i know where to look.
Thanks again.
Silver, did you tried this ? This is what worked for me.
I don't think the service center will solve your problem, i'm convinced that this a bug on the radio.

Interference Noise on the other end

I have a problem with my O2 Zinc .. with WM5 and ROM version WWE_RC4070131. Many complain that when ever they are speaking to me on my O2 phone, they hear some sort of interference sounds. My guess this is to do with radio signals. I am not aware if this is a software problem or the hardware. Have you guys come across a problem like this.. and found any solution?
Thanks a lot.
Hey Guys.. am I the only one with this problem on O2?
The problem is fixed. I flashed WM6 ROM from this link.
