Phone dial, ending call, etc.. problems.. Am I the only one?

Hi forum!
Before anything, thanks for your invaluable help and support, without it I would feel even more lonly on my PPC life
OK, said so...
I'm having currently some problems with the phone part of this great device. Sometimes when I answer a call (with the hardware key) it takes 2 to 3 seconds before I can hear anything from the person calling me. The same happens when I hang. It takes time to hang the conversation, so I never know if it's really hanged..
Lately I'm having also problems with the "today" app I think. It never shows up and the upper bar (status?) does not change when I receive a call.
I went trhu a hard resseting and restore (Sprite) process 1 week ago, but I had the phone problems before that...
Thanks a lot for your help.

by the sound of it, you have upgraded to the wm5.0 rom, i have these problems also, until there is a known fix for the minor bugs, with the today screen you can just go into settings and today, then come out again, and what wasnt there before should be there now, also , have you tried to upgrade the radio rom too??? 8)

thanks for your answer! But I'm currently using wm2003. Though I'm considering switching to wm5 now we can if I don't get a solution to this
I normally use the phone for work-job and this minor things annoys me big deal!

i am running black shadow with radio 1.43 and i have the same problem, the response time for hangup on shadow is really long!! i have to press the red cancel button 4-5 times to get a call to end

Try the latest LSVW 0616, it functions well and seems very stable.
Good luck.

Excuse me but was that REALLY helpful? If I was to post "my Chevy truck won't turn off" would you post "get a Ford truck, they do"??
(no, my post wasn't helpful either)

anyone else have this problem or know how to fix??

I had the same problem with the 143 radio.. First I installed the 141 radio and then reinstalled Shadow. works fine now.Try reinstalling Shadow.

could this actually be the radio? only reason i ask is i had just flashed radio 1.43 and shadow at the same time, can someone please tell if it is jus a radio reflash or do i have to go through and reinstall shadow as well?

There is a new 3g dialler made available by Jasjamming at his new home that will now work on the Shadow rom, this will probably help you.

Actually that might be helpful because the Chevy maybe doesn't work. I have had the same problem with Shadow and had to switch. I am using 1.43 and Schap's 3.30b now and it seems to be better. Custel's worked ok too - waiting for his next update.

Edit - Based on other posts maybe I should switch to 1.41.

Is this what you do just to increase your post count?

Maybe it DOES work, just not for you. Be careful when you dis a ROM here my friend, especially when you're using the latest GSM.

I had the same problem with Black Shadow IV using Radio 1.43 and 1.41, Now i use 1.40 and it is working fine.

i have tried 1.43 and 1.41 and neither fix this, ill revert to 1.40 and see if that fixes it.

1.40 doesnt work either...

Hi jwagman1,
Dont have such a problem. When testing black shadow with 1.43 with different software, there was a lot of issues - in general the rom was very unstable etc. - almost permanently freezing. The test (not very scientific) showed that all kind of battery status software are causing problems - My solution was to reinstal the shadow only, not using any battery status packages, and the rom is performing really well now.
The problem might come also from some kind of incompatibility with the network of your carrier - as I got the 1.43 is not Hermes radio. Pumpiron579, who had the same problem also seems to be on Cingular
In such a situation I wll install new radio (e.g. 1.40), and new Rom (not shadow) too, and see.

Same problem with me on Shadow. Let's try Shadow lite or dymond 3.5 BS, it's work fine for me.
(radio 1.43)

dont mean to sound funny guys, bet everyone is trying radios and no-one is getting the right effect, might i suggest that it is a common problem within shadow.
I have tryed backdating 1.43 -> 1.41 -> 1.40 -> flashing to 1.38
this is getting silly now, 20 mins per flash lol i have been flashing for nearly 80 mins (if i was on a street i would have been arrested by now lol)

Same problem here Custel v2.5, Radio 1.40.30.00.
Hang up button (hard and soft) will not work 25%+ of the time.

Anyone have no vibrate in new WM6 roms?

Hi All
Since the release of the official WM6 roms I have tried both the Dopod rom and VP3Gs AT&T rom and with both I have trouble getting the vibrate for incoming calls, SMS and emails to work.
On the Dopod rom it was intermittent, changed to VP3Gs rom and now it doesnt work at all. Never had this problem before.
Im using PhoneAlarm, have tried various different versions fom the official release to several of the most recent betas and still no vibrate. Dont think PhoneAlar is responsible.
Read all the other threads and no one else seems to have mentioned this so Im wondering if its just me.
Cheers
Rob

Sounds like its just you..sorry

Just tried on my Vodafone 1605 with Dopod ROM - working fine.

Not here
tried them all, never was an issue here
======

My Vodafone V1605 has lost vibration after upgrading to Dopod ROM. I'm also having problems with keyboard (sometimes, none of the front buttons work, but side ones work fine), and sometimes screen gets white, and comes back when you switch off and on.
I didn't know the cause, so I went back to an HTM WM5 rom, and to ATT or Black Satin, with no success.
any ideas?

Well, for no apparent reason its seems to have started working again during the day today. Still dont think its that reliable so I'll try the com button / vibrate fix cab if I can find it.
Thanks for the replies folks, I shall investigate further . . .
Rob

I switched to the official ROM, and vibrate was working initially, but just like you it has stopped working. I'm going to try the above method, but please post if you find the proper fix.

I had to add the vibrating cab to my 8525 with vp3g 3.0. Funny thing is, I'm sure his hybrid had vibrating included. I don't remember-- Senior moment!

yea it did...what i remember was that when i pressed and held the com button...the vibrate icon showed up but it did not vibrate like it use to and i tested it several times. The com/vibrate button cab can be found all over the place and i'm sure it's on the wiki here somewhere...or it could be a coincidence that the described method worked

Hi robt2379,
Did happened to me couple of times with Rom updatings.......try to tap at the bottom of your pda between the IR and the USB port..it fix mine.
Good Luck.

I lost my vibration alert too.., tried above trick. no luck.
I think I'll try the vibrate cab, should I?
currently using Sleuth v2.1 ROM.

Hi guys,
For info; Chk this thread,

Hi
I do have the similar problem with the vibrate after upgrading to wm6.
I have tried to re-install the ROM again but it still does not vibrate.
Any kind soul can advice?

I was having the same problem but i knew it wasn't any software. I think there's some problem with the vibrator as in the hardware. I sent it into the service center and they replaced it for me. it was a faulty vibrator. So its all good now. The VIBRATOR works now... lol.. that sounds soo wrong...

Hi Bernard,
That's wonderful... i will be going to the service center soon hope they are able to replace one for me ...

I use karma 11.3 to, yes no all time. Now i use u2us 1.05 and works well without problems.
Try this version and says something

I already use that version too (1.05). When the call is one of the contacts that i have foto, it doesn't have problems to display. The problem is when it was supposed appear only the phone number and the name of the person sometimes it turns black or rings but anything appear on the visor. Strange thing. I use u2us since the first version and i never had this problem...still now. Thanks anyway.

check this settings in S2U2
In S2U2 settings, check if " Blank screen on talk " is OFF ( both on Battery / External power )
Im using it and find no problem whatsoever on a g77 opal rom.

Do you have any 3rd party apps installed or is this on bare rom? Do you mean it opens on message tab?
If on bare rom, your query should be directed to Duttys rom thread.

thx for reply
it is almost clean ROM..I installed just a few things that I usually install and these are definitely not causing this...it has never happened before with the same apps..
second thing....it does not open on the sms tab but it opens outlook...or whateer is this app called in winmo..SMS/MMS or email..
i dont understand this...I have no unread messages...it hsa never happened before...weird problem...
I will flash R9 on weekend if it will be out already..
if someone has solution or experience the same problem please let it know...
thanks

Start>Tools>Tom Text Messaging> SMS wake up Event
what does this function do?
may this setting is relevant to you problem!
not sure.. not tried yet.. but this what came to my mind.. when i read ur post!

thanks for your reply..
this is the same option as was in the hd tweak...when sms comes phone awakes...does not solve my problem..
but thx anyway

Could it be that you didn't setup something related to messaging and the app always starts to force you?
Is sms working?

I actually didnt do anything..
I just noticed that when I press the poewr button to wake up my phone i see the outlook screen..
it it so annoying...
After I flashed R9 this happens much less...but it is still there
Has anyone encouncetred something liek this?

i am having the same issue you are. i have a touch pro though and i am even on a different os build then u (maybe a lingering 6.5 bug) . it is very VERY irritating so if anyone has a fix i would appreciate it as well

Check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
value should be 0
that solved it for me

i had a lot of sms-problems with Dutty's ROM.. i'm now on EnergyRom, and not having any problems at all

Finally someone who has this issue..I thought that I am starting to be paranoic or what
Will try your suggestion with the Registry Key although that doesnt seem to be the root of the issue...
Will try it out...
Thanks..

OK...now the problem really seems to be gone.
I have disabled automatic download of emails..weird...
