Hello everybody,
I'm using WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-26). And suddenly I've got several problem with my phone:
Sometimes it wont start after a soft-reset
Sometimes it freezes after a period of time
Sometimes I cannot end calls. Press red phone button onscreen, or hardwarekey
Sometimes when I open Device Information, Radio version and Protocol version are empty
A lot of sometimes, so I didnt know exactly what to do but I tried a lot of thing to solve it:
Reflash and reinstall all my software (SPB Pocket plus, Tomtom, Resco Explorer)
Reflash ROM and leave it without other software
Hard reset
Finally I tried flashing de Radio-Rom with version 1.38.30.10. And it hassen't crash for 2 hours! Wow!
Does anybody experience the same problems?
I had this issue with previous versions of WM6 but with LVSW 26-03 and WM Black 2.0 don`t have problems at all
Regards,
Primoz
I've had problems with both
It only happen 3 times since it came out. Oh well, beta stage ROM is usually like this. Same as Vista beta test.

I would suggest that you flash first Radio V 1.38.00.10 then do a hardreset then install LVSW again. And then you should test it some days without installing any additional software - especially those three you mentioned. For me and my unbranded HTC Tytn LVSW and Black 2.0 worked great without any bigger issue.
Another issue
Another issue: When I call myself (Something I don't very often ) i got redirected to my voicemail even though my phone says I've got good reception! After that happened, my phone went to no service and up to good reception in 2 seconds.

What is wrong with 1.38.30.10?
According to a lot of posts here and in some other forums its draining the battery very fast.
And referring to your "selfcalling" problem: Every once in a while I notice the same with my SE P910 so I think its a provider problem. Sometimes I got the message "new voicemailmessage" although my phone showed me full reception.
Yes! So i am not going mad.
Well i was running 1.38.30.10 and i was receiving same problems. (My phone has full reception and callers kept getting forwarded to voice mail. Even SMS's wouldnt go through)
I changed over to 1.38.00.11 and its working fine for 2 days now.
I am running XDA .20 if that helps.

I have had this issue with every rom on my device. It happened with the stock Cingular rom and every rom I have flashed since then. It doesn't happen every call but does happen at least once a day for me. Not a big deal but kind of annoying when it happens.

suggest you try the genuine hermes radio instead, 1.38.00.10. It MAY be something to do with being a trin radio, or even try the newer 1.38.30.10?

im going to give this ROM just a few more days of testing before i flash another one on...
i would blame this all on the radio.. i experience the very same issue on wm5 roms and i am using 1.35.00.11 radio, have tried the 2 different 1.38's and still had the problem.. i didnt have this problem on 1.33 but the reception was horrible... so i picked the lesser of the evils and stuck with 1.35.....

FYI if you flash a new radio it doesnt hard reset your device.

Same experience, the radio to take me less problem level was 1.34.
1.38 was very bad, lot of call lossed, sms lossed. 1.35 was not so bad, but lost same calls. 1.34 works fine (or as fine as it can) and better than 1.33.
So far im happy with my RADIO (check my sig). Havent ahd any of those issues, and trust me i had many of them. Business clients would complain to me why my phone was off all day long, when in actual fact i had full signal!!!
Anyway, will let ya know if something goes funny with this RADIO..

o i know, i just wanna continue to use this to see if the problem occurs all the time or not or how often it happens...which Radio would you suggest that has the least issues at the moment...
okay, this radio sucks...i have full bars right now, and when i called my self it went straight to voicemail...i have to travel next week, i dont have time to test a good radio, can anyone recommend me one? how is 1.34?
In the last week i have tried 3 different ROMS - First Muns Full, then BEPE's and now PDAVIET's latest ROM, and i keeping getting this message when I try to send an SMS "The phone is not ready - please wait 15 seconds". I am using the radio ROM 1.46.30.11 which i updated about a month ago.
It only started happening last week - i have tried cleaning the sim card etc - which works fine in other phones.
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this? I have searched and havent found any real solutions.
Thanks

Try going to settings/personal/phone/band and set network type to GSM. That fixed SMS send problems for me. However, you will lose the ability to connect to 3G. I haven't figured out how to get both working, but use SMS more than 3G.

Thanks - that worked. But yeh, losing the 3G option is a problem. One thing i have noticed is that when the HTC home plug has "home" displayed as the network it causes that problem, but when it is displaying the actual network operator name it works fine.
This is still happening now 3 months later- i have tried differnet ROMs, radio's and now nothing works - even different sim cards. To compound this, the problems i am now having with my Parrot 3200 car kit (tried everything as well) and constant disconnections has made this phone almost useless to me, and i am now going to sell it and go back to Nokia phones.
thanks everyone for all their helpful advice.
Cheers

Have you tried the official Dopod D810 ROM? I've had no problems with it.
I've been seeing this problem for a few weeks now, with several different ROMs, including the original rooted stock ROM now. In nearly all of my recent calls, I get disconnected one or more times with the message "Call disconnected" and a "Dismiss" button. I'm thinking that this is because of my EVO and not the other side, since usually if they accidentally hang up or something the call just ends without a message box. As far as I can tell, I have good reception (at least according to the bars), and this is happening at home, where I've not had the problem before.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? My wife's EVO is not rooted, and she does not seem to be having this problem. But then again, I've not had the problem until fairly recently either. I've tried updating my profile and PRL with each new ROM, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to stop this from happening?
Go into the settings menu andbupdate both your PRL and your profile. That *should* help with reception related issues.

Unfortunately, I've tried both of those things. I just did some testing today, and it seems that my phone is unable to stay connected during a phone call for more than five minutes before disconnecting, even if I don't touch the phone and just leave it sitting on a table.
Any other ideas? As far as I know, I haven't ever flashed my radio away from its default (2.15.00.11.19), and I'm currently using the leaked stock gingerbread ROM (build number 4.12.651.1 CL41771 release-keys and kernel 2.6.35.10-gaa602b7 [email protected] #1).
Maybe it's time to unroot and contact Sprint?
You can try downgrading from 2.15.00.11.19 to 2.15.00.09.01. You can download it from http://www.mediafire.com/file/jyedjkp1bm5amwm/EVO_Radio_2.15.00.09.01.zip
Afterwards, go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache then flash the zip. You will be taken to the radio update screen and appear to hang. don't worry or get impatient. After it is finished, you will reboot into recovery and see the words "clearing cache" at the top of the screen. Simply select reboot and then you will boot to your homescreen. The initial boot will take a tad longer since it will be rebuilding the dalvik.
Hmm... I'm hesitant to downgrade my radio because my wife has an EVO with the same radio version number and hers doesn't have this problem. Granted, she is not rooted...
I understand. I've downgraded and upgraded everything several times for testing purposes and troubleshooting purposes and have never had a problem. The only hing about flashing radios is patience and not to pull the battery. Anyway, you can always call Sprint and see if they can troubleshoot it for you from their end.

I would contact sprint @ 877-809-6696 (advanced tech supp). Ask them to push a full reprovision to your device. See if that helps any. I was having issues when when on the airave, I was unable to receive incoming calls. This corrected it. I did try all the other steps listed above without any success.
This is interesting. I unrooted to test things out before calling Sprint, and the problem went away. I was able to stay connected for an hour (where before I couldn't last longer than 10-15 minutes). Yay, fixed, right? So, I rooted again and didn't install any ROMs or anything, just rooted, and the problem came back.
So, I have a solution, but I don't like it very much because it means I need to stay unrooted. Anyone have any idea why simply rooting the phone with Unrevoked 3 (and doing nothing else) could cause calls to disconnect? I'd love to be able to root again, but I can't deal with a phone that randomly disconnects all the time.
I am interested in this as well as I am rooted using unrevoked and get disconnected as well. I do find that it mainly happens though talking to people who have service on AT&T.. Quite wierd. All I hear is a beep then disconnected. This happens when I first place a call and it rings once or twice then beep, disconnected...
This may not be related to rooting. I'm still communicating with Sprint about this issue, and along they way they replaced my phone entirely, and the problem is still happening. Very frustrating, but it makes it very clear that the problem actually has nothing to do with the hardware. I'm pretty sure there is some network configuration problem on their end now. I'm waiting to root my new phone until this issue has been resolved. It is killing me!

So whats the final call on this ..?
Is it Rooting , Is it network .. i am too getting psyche with this .
I'm pretty sure it is not rooting. But I don't yet know for certain what it is. Sprint thought there might be something wrong with the antenna on my phone, but they had already replaced the phone, so I think that is unlikely. They gave me a femtocell range extender to use in my house. Basically, I plug it into my broadband connection, and it is like having a mini cell tower in my house, giving me a very strong connection. Sure enough, when connected to that, I haven't had any calls drop. However, my phone still sometimes doesn't connect to the femtocell and instead connects to some other tower for some reason. My wife's phone doesn't do this, so I still think there is something wrong with my phone. I may contact Sprint again about this. ...sigh...
What is your area some area evo don't work properly like on rahim yar khan in this time connection don't work properly some signal drop and some time up i sure after few day signal work properly then problems will be solve.
My phone EVO is doing this now as well. Has anyone heard/read a solution?

I am having the same issue, out of the blue. No problems up until a few days ago. I'm wondering if it is maybe an issue with a certain version of the Evo. I have a version 002. Thoughts?
Greg_99 any progress on what might be causing this issue?
I have just spent an absolute age with HTC tech support, and the answer to the few that have been suffering with no data via wifi is................send your handset in for repair.
I honestly have completely lost the will to live, no matter what i say to try and convince them the issue is software related as i can use 2.2.1 absolutely fine, it seems to completely be over everyones head, i even spoke to a manager, who after listening to everything i said, who then spent 3 minutes in silence came back with "broken wifi module"
Arghh, they now want to book my handset in for repair, which i am reluctant to do as they quote a turn around of 20 days currently, i dont want to be without a handset that long.
all i want is gingerbread on my handset and be able to use WiFi, 3G works perfectly
Has anyone had any luck in solving this? its not a router issue, i have tried 4 different routers, its not a signal issue (i have a full signal, and its not dropping the signal), i have tried every 2.3.3 custom rom and stock rom out there and still no data Via WiFi, tried different radio's, and different kernels,
If i go back to using the Android revolution 2.3.2 beta, it works fine, so its defo since the 2.3.3 update.
any help from anyone would be so gratefully recieved i will buy you a pint!
Hi there,
Have you flashed the matching RIL's for your radios? A similar issue affected me but it was only with CM7 and ARHD. I flashed the radio in my signature (good WiFi performance for signal and battery life) and the corresponding RIL and all was working after a couple of reboots.
Hope this helps.
i have indeed pal, really really struggling with this.
A work colleague has just completed his OTA update at work, same issue,
at least i know its not just mine
im wondering if its something to do with the wifi driver in the ota,
Actually its not just the ota, tried the RUU just now, same issue
any Dev's got any clues?
Mate,
I´ve downgraded the ROM as per this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003), and now it is working perfectly. No need of gingerbread, I noticed that I do not need it anyway. Instead of that, my baby is alive and kicking againg.
Cheers.

im back on LeeDroid 2.2.1 custom rom and everything works like a charm, there isnt anything on gingerbread i need, but i want the option, i prefare the menu, but i can not be without WiFi. I have just sent HTC a humerous letter/email, i have spent hours on the phone with them today.
Sent LeeDroid a pm, see if he has any idea why this is, or if there is anyway to sort it
hopefully someone soon can come up with something, there are only a few of us with the problems, but even so HTC should release a patch or something to rectify it. A guy who has a T-Mobile branded device at work has updated fine, but myself and another colleague (both unlocked sim free devices from the carphonewarehouse) have the no data issue via wifi
i am losing the will to live
Hi,
Two days back my htc desire suddenly lost connection to the mobile network. I now get a small cross on top of the signal bars and "no service" written on the notification bar. Sometimes this changes to "sos".
The wifi is working fine. t
The only problem is voice and data over the mobile network.
I tried a lot of things:
reboot
flashed a new radio
complete wipe/ factory reset
flashed a new rom
But to no avail.
A strange thing did occur though, at a mall, my phone suddenly started working for a few minutes and then went back to the same state as before. This same thing happened last night too.
I am unable to understand this and request all of you to help.
current status:
Phone: htc desire amoled
s-on
bb: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
miui 17.15
Ring your provider.

So I assume the problem would be the ROM
Any solution to this? Patches or something?
I would love to continue on using MIUI
Thanks all
Regarding the above problem.. had the same thing... what i did is this..
on dial pad use *#*#4636#*#*
then goto phone information (first one)
scroll down you'll see "set preferred network type"
mine was selected "WCDMA" I changed that to "GSM Only"
Since then no problem of S.O.S has come to me
I am sending it here because I am unable to post in the forum... something to do with minimum of 10 Post.. Hope this helps
Guys thanks for your replies.
I have already done the *#*#4636#*#* bit and it hasn't helped.
Regarding the rom, I was originally on cyanogenmod 7 when this problem started. I re-flashed CM7. Didn't help. Then i flashed miui. the problem remains.
Although I would like to add that over the past two days, at two different locations, I have been able to make one call and recieve one. How this happens, I don't know.
Still trying to figure it out but I just read elsewhere on this forum an exactly similar problem being faced by a few people during the last few days.... so keeping my fingers crossed.
Ah! and one more thing, I have tried sim cards of almost all operators and none work in this phone.
Same problem here aswell,
me too tried every thing,
but non of them helpfull..
Still searching for help
This may seem like a dumb question, but the people experiencing this problem, are you in the same country/region?
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
A little update in my situation:
I visited another city for an hour yesterday and the phone latched onto vodafone in seconds and worked like a charm but as soon as i got back to base, it was back to its dead state.
This is a really confusing situation because, one moment it seems like its a hardware problem (since none of the operator's sims tend to work in it while in delhi) and then sometimes it seems to be a network problem (as it seems to work just fine in some areas)
Guys, please.... please help. This is so frustrating.
guys i'm still waiting for a reply.... doesn't anyone here have a solution to my problem?
Install cm7, then full wipe and then install freshly your new rom.
I did that way and after that was network connection back.
Sry my bad english!

Hey this worked but only partially. Now the phone does latch on to network at most places except two: my workplace and home.
And in some places it shows full signal strength but calling is not possible.
