Recurring 8525 problem since upgrading to WM6 ROM (AT&T version). The phone will freeze completely (clock doesn't advance, screen and buttons and keyboard don't accept input, display freezes at on or off). When restarted by soft reset, the phone will frequently come back up with no GSM. When that happens, sometimes if I remove the battery and leave the phone off for a few hours then GSM will come back and will work for a while and then lock up again.
When it comes back with GSM service all of the network logon info for GPRS, my Wi-Fi networks with their auth info is gone.
Also email accounts are gone from the account picker and can't be re-created with the same names even though they have completely disappeared. I assume the settings are still in the registry but accounts just aren't showing. One account still shows on the Today screen, but isn't in the account picker.
A hard reset "fixes" things for a while. I've experimented with only installing a few of the most necessary 3rd party apps, without finding any "smoking gun" program that's causing problems. I've also re-seated the SIM card multiple times. I'm thinking it might be a hardware problem.
Today I flashed the radio to 1.54 and it has worked for a couple of hours without needing to be reset.
I'd be interested to hear what possible diagnostic paths I should look at before I call AT&T and begin the rigmarole required by tech support. Anyone with a very similar situation?
Thanks in advance.
I'm having the same problem. I was thinking of going to AT&T to get a new SIM, thinking that was the problem. Any solution yet?

I started having the same problem with mine last week.
Sometimes it locks up, sometimes it gets stuck at the windows logo durring boot, always displays no gsm rom on boot.
Take a look at the how to unbrick thread. no gsm rom msg is one of the types of brick.
I installed hard spl ( already had it actually ). Flashed os, but it didn't help. Flashed GSM and no gsm msg went away. The phone is still acting strangely.
remember, just because the rom came from your carrier DOESNT mean that it doesnt have problems. Alot of people seem to have problems with upgraded rom versions from their carrier and end up either downgrading to previous rom or flashing cooked roms. try the previous rom or another cooked rom and see if that fixes the problem before blaming the hardware. It will save you a major headache trying to troubleshoot something that is working perfectly....
Please remember to do a bit of reading and hard spl your device before going off and bricking your Hermes. 10 minutes of reading might prevent hours, days or weeks of hair pulling, nail biting insanity to find the answer. Cheers.
hello people,
I have my SVP M3100, original from orange spain - but CID unlock to work with portuguese carrier, now I live and work in Hereford UK, and I use a sim from Three and other from Lebara the three sim is to have net on my pc and the lebara sim is to make low cost international call, and i switch many times the sim's to make calls and to have internet, now i have the same problem that you have, i try to upload the HTC original rom that have IPL. BOOTLOADER, SPLASH SCREENS EXTROM GSM, but lock at 12% I try upload ongly radio rom and the same a think that somekind of hardware problem caused by to many sims switch, if any body have one solution please tell me

Same thing happened to me. Tried to reflash original ATT ROM , Radio Only, OS only. Gonna send it for the repair. Phone is not under warranty anymore hope that the price of repair will be less than price of new phone.
BTW, is there any way to remove Hard SPL from the phone?
how much was the price of repair?
Try changing you radio to a new one. i have had the same problems in the past with different radio roms and rom versions. so i am using radio 1.54.30.10 with pdavet roms and have had no isuue.

I've got exact the same symtoms. No GSM, network and auth settings gone, opera registration lost etc. It started a few days a go, in the beginning I had a working GSM most of the time, but it became less and less and now it doesn't have service at all anymore.
Currently device information shows:
ROM version: K's Rom v1.21
ROM date: 10/03/07
Radio version: NONE
Protocol version: NONE
Model No.: HERM300
IMEI: <empty>
Does anyone know a permanent solution?
I have the SAME PROBLEM!
I was about to get radio to work 3 days ago, and now the radio says none.
it's like the radio removed itself.
ok this doesn't make sense, I used the hima rom to remove the radio.
and now the radio is back! wtf?
Hm I tried everything but I can't seem to reflash the radio. About every version I try hangs at 0%. Sometimes when I flash from SD card it hangs at arount 10%.
Tried different SPL versions as well
Damn you radio!!!
BTW, I have no idea what they did to my phone there, but after returning from the AT&T Repair center the Call timer was zeroed and Device ID is now different from what it was before in Skyscape software
Any solutions yet? Im having the same issues.
The reason why Active Sync restarts
For many people the Workaround "not a hack or registry at all" does not work is because of a event based notification that runs the program anytime the time changes. Since your phone updates from the cell tower, it updates the time alot even if by mere seconds well this update runs activesync. Get yourself MemMaid
run it in advanced mode then Jump to Databases then select Notification Queue you will see a list of 3 types of Queues; Time Based, Classic Time Based, and Event based. Go to the event based queue, you should see at the end of this list 3 listing for repllog.exe with the active sync icon. Click on them individualy and read what shows up in the window below put a check mark next to the listing that describes the event as "apprunaftertimechange" it is normaly the last one on list
Also make sure there is no repllog.exe listed in any other queue for a time based event. Leave the other instances of repllog.exe since you still want your device to sync when its connected to the computer. Once you select all events that desribe running repllog.exe after a time change or at a certian time and date press the delete button.
This worked for me on my 8125 and the tilt and if i would of figured this out before i had ATT replace my 8525 i probably would of not got the tilt but lol they gave me tilt free cause all the problems i had with 8525.
let me know if this works for you guys that still see activesync running after the fake server WORKAROUND.
This should work
memmaid is not free but i think its free to try and if all you do with it is fix this problem then great or find a way to register it cause it does help has cool tricks and tweaks
Wow, still no real fixes for this problem, bummer
running memmaid work
running memmaid works and fixes the random start of activesync and once the random start of activesync is fixed the device will not lock up because of activesync this not to say if some other program you may have installed locking you up as well
Hi
Just found this post in google code android, this is the issue I have had for 12 weeks, tried different roms 2.1/2.2 and radio's 5.x 04 08 20 and 4.05 and 6 had anyone managed to get to the bottom of it ?
Apparently if it drops the signal it does not search unless you go into aeroplane mode or pull the battery, then can work for 5 minutes or 10 hours before happening again, driving me mad.

I'm about to give up on android however I really love the phone HTC Desire with stock modaco froyo rom but on a basic level I need to make calls.
Thanks
Derek
Return it to your dealer and get a replacement.
It sounds like its handset specific. I haven't noticed it on mine, and I move in and out of bad reception all the time.
Let me guess.. is Orange your provider?
I'm on 02 don't think it's hardware as on google groups it happens to multiple handsets.
have you tried to clean a contacts of you sim card, on the bottom of it?
btw, how old is it? I've experienced same problem on Diamond due to it was quite old(7 years of using). I've asked my provider to change it for a new one, and that helped me to solve this issue.
Had the same problem, then i downloaded the app "2G-3G OnOff" and set the phone only to go on the 2g network and never had a problem since...
This is a know issue, although I think it may be specific to certain operators. I'm on Meteor Ireland and this issue has been discussed at length on their forums (http://forums.meteor.ie/index.php?showtopic=359) since the launch of the Hero v1.5.
Meteor were apparently working in conjunction with HTC on a solution but still nothing. I had the problem on vanilla 2.2 on my desire but as yet I don't think it's happened me on MCR r7, touch wood.
phone and sim are only 12 weeks old, I thought it might be a radio problem so I'm down to 5.x.04 and I'll let you know over the next couple of days
Also going to try another fix posted in xda:-
Another user posted this:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Sellect phone information and scroll all the way down to the bottom
Select the set preffered network type and change to GSM auto (prl)
I do have the problem that my Defy restarts just when a call comes in. Restart at least 50% of calls and receiving SMS / MMS. Unfortunately not reproducible because the device sometimes restarts , sometimes not - with the same number calling.
Addidionally the phone restarts 2 times a day just so, although it has been hours in standby or is charging.
Task Killer is installed, but without auto-kill. I also tried to uninstall all the apps, that could have been the potential cause - no change. It does not seem to be due to an app.
Does anyone have any idea why this might happen and what I could do about it?
Have you tried a different sim in the Defy?
Not yet, only have that one for the cell number. It's a pretty new SIM, you think here could be a problem?
Did you come up with any solution please? I'm having the same exact problem.
Yes. Problem was the SIM card, it was too new or of a too new generation. I got another one after I explained the problem to the provider; another sort of sim card, probably older generation does work perfectly now.
Here's my problem:
I had RcMixHD flashed before (don't remember which Radio it was) when my phone started to have (NOT often!) some signal issues, like droping signal, or "3G-activation" taking 2 or 3 minutes.
A few days ago I switched over to LeeDroid 3.3.3 GB, with its recommendet Radio.
After flashing, more often every call was sent DIRECTLY to my Voicemail! (At the beginning NOT ALL! Just sometimes!)
NOW nobody can call me, because they're directly sent to the Voicemail!
I can still call them! Not depending which Provider it is. (I'm on Orange Austria)
Even though I sometimes have to try it a few times until MY call works!
And sometimes the signal just drops, out of nowhere, showing that "x" above the signal-bars.
And NO, it does'nt only drop when I lock my screen!
Now I've tried it with the newest Radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23) - no Change
Then I tried to change the RIL - even though I had NO IDEA what this was good for - to RIL_2.2.1003G = a LITTLE change, since the signal doesn't drop and go up as wild as before!
And YES I have had a look at my Call forwarding settings - they're fine!
So does anybody know how I might solve this damn problem?
Nobody can call me, and I even get the SMS that "One unaccepted Call" (dunno what it is in english. ) a few hours late!
I ALSO tried this one:
x x x.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/04/htc-desire-radios-faq/
THE ONE WITH THE INTERNET DATA
So what am I supposed to do?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi,
I've got a little problem with my Gnex, sometimes during 15min I receive all my SMS's three or four times, from different senders. the messages are duplicated.
I tried one or two times a complete reset with factory image (then apply root, busybox, etc..) using the gnex toolkit. I also changed providers (SFR -> Orange France) recently, and now I use SMS app provided with ParanoidAndroid.
It occured using different ROM's, including stock if I remember right. I have PRIMELC03 bootloader, lastest radio XXLH1 and latest RIL also.
Now the point : can it be a hardware-related problem ? Do I have to send it to Samsung ?
Regards
Has this just started happening since you changed providers?
I had that issue a few years ago where any of my friends on Telus sending me a message to my Rogers phone would make me receive duplicates. It had nothing to do with the phone, and the carriers resolved it after a couple of months.
You might want to see if anyone else on Orange France has the issue, and maybe contact them about it.
It happened even with my previous providers.
I think it may be bad covered in 3G even if the phone displays 3 signal strength bars... I'll check again.
