Has anyone seen such an issue (w/ radio) ?

Hello,
I've been a BlueAngel (SX66-Cingular Variant) user since a long time. It'd been working great. I re-flashed the original rom several times with the new BA updates/ roms from XDA's Ftp site and they all worked like charm.
ISSUE:
--------
Lately (since a month), I am experiencing some issues with it. It seems to be always searching for Network/ Service, all the time. An ongoing call will get disconnected. And very frequently i'll see a NO SERVICE notification. The NETWORK INDICATOR in the task bar will go to a High Strength and then Searching status. It is usually taking more than 30 mins to search the operator for me to make/ recieve any call. People trying to reach me inform me that my phone is Not Reacheable.
I've reflashed it to different BA ROM combinations but it didn't help.
I dont want to assume that it is a Hardware failure as i didnt do anything which can cause a damage to the instrument.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
What all can i try? What is the BEST SUITED ROM for this Device?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>> ONE MORE QUERY :-
My Blueangel Back Cover Shows that this device is PH20B, but the ROM indicates that it is a PH20B1 Device. (This device is actually without a camera) Why do i see a difference here?
>>> USERS in INDIA or NCR Region: Is there any authorised/ recommended place i can get this device serviced?
Any help or suggestion is very much appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Sx66 is now Dead
Desperate to fix this problem, i pulled the battery to power drain the BlueAngel. I even went a step ahead and shorted all the power connectors (which connect to battery) of the device with help of a metal needle. I placed the battery back and now the set is dead!!
I just can't believe this. How can i get this device powered on now??
Thank you all for help in advance!

How shorted? Why did u do that? To fix Radio problems? U probably did a shortcut and you fried something in Phone...

This problem is resolved. I power drained the device and it is working again.
Can anyone please help me on the issue with radio?? Any help/ suggestion is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Harry

glad to hear that, try radio upgrade only, try radio version 1.13.1 from the ftp

Any other suggestion please......
Thanks Xplod! I have installed Radio 1.13.10 with 1.42 (T-Mob/NL), but this issue still persists. This device has become more slower and lazy in the past few months.
I am still mad at the phone function of this device. Once half of the battery is consumed, It wont even allow me to make/ recieve any call.
Someone on this forum please help. Is there any New ROM update from Siemens (>1.33 Rom) please?
Also friends, how is the stability of WM 2k5 on this device? Would you recommend installing it just to see if it fixes this issue?
One Last Question: What is the BEST ROM combination for this device? Also any customized Ext ROM with all the patches/ fixes included. Links to the location are greatly appreciated.
Thank you all again for your time and help!

Help! My Excalibur bricked?

Hi everyone! I have had my Excalibur for some months now and have SIM-unlocked it, and updated with the latest roms to WM 6.1.
Today, something peculiar happened. When connecting to my computer, it started connecting and disconnecting all the time. No synchronization was made. And when making or receiving phone calls, only the external loudspeaker works. Is this a common / known / fixable problem? Or has my Excalibur gone from being one of my prized possesions to an expensive paperweight?
Other than the connection issues and loudspeaker (attaching a headset does no difference - all sound comes from the loudspeaker), the phone seems to work OK. I've done a har dreset (two action buttons pressed when powering up, etc.) but to no avail.
Any help to shed some light on what might have happened is greatly appreciated! I hope, hope, hope it's some software issue.

after you done that hold and press the camera button then the bootloader
screen will show up.connect it and flash it with the original rom your phone kame with. that solved my issue.

i bricked mine too but in a different way... i have the latest ricky wyatt rom on mine and it has been working fine for a long time until my friend turned the overclock all the way up on the phone and now when the phone starts it is frozen on the home screen..... can anybody help he? has anyone had this problem before?
nvrmind..... did a bootload reset which set the device to factory defaults.

Boot loop. Can't access download or recovery mode.

Hello all,
I'm got an I747 that one day just decided to stop working on me. I was running stock rooted firmware and have never tried custom roms.
The phone repeatedly tries to boot up and then shut down. I can't ever get pass the Samsung logo.
The same thing happens when trying to access recovery or download mode. I see the initial download/recovery screen and then the phone shuts off.
Is the motherboard toast?
My friend has an I747 as well but it has been blacklisted. Are there any parts I can swap from one another to get either one of them working?
Any help or input is appreciated.

Does removing & reinserting the battery (with no buttons pushed) trigger the restart behavior?

Yes, just by inserting the battery the phone vibrates and begins to start up.
Once the Samsung logo appears it turns back off again.

Indicates Samsung stuck power button syndrome. A lot has been posted about this.
I would start with warranty service if available.
If not, search a lot & choose solutions carefully.
It happened once with my Captivate & teardown & blowout cured it,
though I never observed the physical defect (only the symptoms).
I have used apps to reduce my use of the button ever since, with GS2 & GS3.
Approach teardown with extreme caution if you are not experienced.
Gently tapping a table edge with the upper right has worked for some.

Thanks for the advice. I did not know this was a common problem.
Unfortunately I am out of warranty so I will try to fix this myself.
I have already taken apart the phone before so I am fine with tearing it down again.
What do you mean by blowout? Do I physically try to tap the power button of the mother board on a table edge?

Push out any dust or debris outward using forced dry air.
The gentle tapping of the button edge area is a pre-disassembly alternative.
Many opinions, experiences & videos have been posted. It's worth it to sample some first.

Find 7 (Big problem / glad if someone could help)

So hello community !
I have an OPPO Find 7 device, and I love, but happens that I have some problem with it, let me explain it best I can
It turns out that I simply cant Power ON the device, no matter what I try, no matter what combinations of key I am using or so. Let me explain better.
As I was using one day my phone standard it happened the lock/power key doesn't respond every time I press it, and it was so, sometimes the phone reacted to the button some times didn't. One day I had the device, and forgot to charge it, and it went completely off, so I can't even boot it up. Went to an mobile center, where they repair mobiles or so, it is small place, I explained them what is the problem, they told me it is the button power supply or so, and fixed it. That was nice, finally I had my OPPO again. After 2 or 3 weeks, again the same problem with the button didn't responded and I again took it with me and gave it to the person that fixed it the first time. They said the it is kinda complicated or so, I took it to other place to see if they could fixed it, they told me it is the POWER SUPPLY to the POWER/LOCK key. It is a waste this phone to throw it in garbage because one maybe small problem if you ask me .
Hopefully someone will see this and reply to me, I still have the phone just cant power it on.
P.S The battery is fine, the charger is fine, tried every combinations of key (just the power key doesn't seem to reply in any way or it cant get power supply). I have some minor knowledge in phone's I can tear it down but I need help or maybe solutions from you guys. Thanks again !

Still no-one that can help me maybe somehow

Hi, do you still have this issue?
Did you just upgrade your phone before this happen?

Yes I still have this issue, I didn't upgrade my phone before this issue. I don't think it is an software error tho....
Got my phone still sitting in my shale

I was facing similar problem, but in my case I cannot charge the phone, and it turn out to be software problem during upgrade.
I went to oppo service center and they re-flash with the latest ColorOS then my phone back to normal.
I thought if you just upgrade your phone, you might face same issue like what I was. Or maybe you can try to go to oppo service center?

Try this. http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067
If its software related this will fix it. If it doesnt I dont know anymore.

Sorry, didn't realized you replied my comment already. Since you purchased your device from Oppostyle, i would suggest you to do RMA. However, the process is going to take quite a long time.

[Q] Xperia X5 Premium Buttons and Vibrator Problem (?)

Hello,
Suddenly (while i was holding my phone in my hand and doing absolutely nothing) power button, volume buttons, camera button and vibrator stopped working. Screen and other functions are fine.
I rebooted using ADB.
Factory resetted.
No results.
Is there any way I can resolve this before sending it to Sony service?

You can try to press the back cover of the phone somewhere in the middle betwen NFC sign and SONY logo, because that is aproximately the place where connector for that buttons is...not logical, but it might be disconected somehow

Lord_Gocko deserves a beer.

I specifically created my account to thank you. It worked like magic!!

Fun read.
OP needs to add [SOLVED] to the title.

@Lord_Gocko
Man, you are a genius. Buttons on my xperia z5 stopped working. I couldn't lock the screen, restart te phone, change the volume or anything. finally battery exhausted and phone never turn on again. I have watched tens of videos, did lots of things they suggest. I was even about to open the back of the tightly sticked waterproof back of the phone. Luckily I came across your smart advice and it worked. I am expecting important calls today and you saved me from a lot of trouble. I can't express enough my gratitude to you. You are my hero. Thank you very much. I would like yo follow if you have twitter or a youtube channel or something. Best regards.
