my fone was ok till a couple of days back when i started to get some of msgs not getting out of my outbox. it was kinda on and off thing i.e at times things would go smooth but at others i wont b able to send even a single msg, but now i cant send out even a single. texting is one of the main use of my fone and life is crippled without it.
i changed over to tai_sw's windows 6.5 thinking that it'd help but it didnt ( had same on and off pattern ), then i reverted back to the halloweenrom. thinking that it might be the radio rom i flashed to 1.47.30 from 1.16....( dont remember the complete name though ). radio flashing helped for a while but again that menace is back.
BTW I CAN RECIEVE OR CALL ANY NUMBER WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AT ALL
now my fone has
windows: 6.1
rom: halloweenRom
radio: 1.47.30
PLZ ANYONE KNOWING HOW TO CORRECT ALL THIS? LIFE SUCKS WITHOUT A WORKING HERMES
also
if i take the sim out and put it in another fone like nokia etc, it works fine.
also i did a hard reset to see if the apps installed are causing it, but hard reset didnt work either.
should i flash the original shipped rom into the fone or anyother way out?
i've no idea which path should i tread, but for the xda members
Not really sure, because I never had any issues senting text messages with the haloween rom. But, you could try the shipped rom, or the stripped rom. See if they have the same issue. I would flash the stripped rom anyway between custom roms just to straighten out any memory issues that can pop up.
Or, do you have or know someone with another sim you could try? Maybe you sim is having issues?
If you are NOT USING 3G then you need to turn it off.
Goto Settings>>personal>>phone>>band AND select 2G. then OK and Turn off handset and turn it on . Send urself a test txt. U should get it working .
worked for me ..may work for u too.
well thanks to both boog321 and irisiris
glad the xda members are always there to help you out
thank you very much
@irisiris
ya buddie you were absolutely right there. actually i flashed a rom which had its 3g on and since then i was getting some prob but thinking that it might be due to that rom i flashed another rom which didnt had 3g in its comm manager so i couldnt get it right. just as i was flirting again with the rom that had messed my fone up i found the 3g on, so i simply offd it and things were smooth once again.
dear all,
My Telstra branded HTC Desire 8183 died out of nowhere.
Here's what I did:
Rooted with R5
MCR 3.1 ROM (custom kitchen with A2SD+) and r17 froyo rom (mostly MCR3.1)
everything went well, and i was happy with it for 2 weeks (blasting fast HSDPA speed and runs perfectly fine)
i noticed the signal strength was really low two days ago, i thought it was my area having service outage. (called and confirmed) I had my girlfriend's Nexus One AT&T version side by side she's getting full bars.
now the phone will show Emergency Call Only all the time, sometimes even with signal, i wont be able to use the data connection (it's show H, but cant even load google.com with the browser)
Diagnostics that i had done:
unroot with generic WWE rom with goldcard (since the telstra rom that people posted on here have 0.75 bootloader and mine is 0.8 so i can only use 1.21 generic WWE rom)
root again with R5 method
update radio
install MCR 3.1 again
replaced my sim card at AT&T store just to make sure
called AT&T to inquire about service outage
none of them works, now i'm stuck with a phone that doesnt make phone calls and data connection.
did i do anything wrong that mess up the radio of the phone? are these rooting guide and custom rom don't support 8183?
please help me! i really like this phone and it's such a waste to let it sit there
best regards,
ted
The emergency calls only thing is usually associated with a sim problem - like invalid sim, unactivated sim etc.
Have you paid your account?
thanks for the advise
yes i did...same thing happened, sometimes when i get signal, i cant seem to use data connection...cant even make phone calls...if im lucky i can make 1 out of 10 times..
i suspected the sim card problem, that's why i went to AT&T store for a replacement.
Solved
I had the same problem, I also have the A8183
To solve it, I went fastboot mode with USB plugged.
then on Android SDK, I did :
./fastboot-mac enableqxdm 0
./fastboot-mac oem boot
just fastboot for pc
and the phone reboot, turn it off and insert your SIM.
I knew it was fix first boot because sdcard was now mountable.
Then SIM was recognized.
But then I have USB problem in recovery, I think I'll need to flash the misc partition.

What you are describing is the fix for the usb brick issue. This is not the problem here.
To me this sounds like a faulty handset, as all the software fix options seem to have been done. I'm no expert though!
what is fastboot-mac
im using windows xp with androidsdk tools
i have fastboot command...how do i type that?

You can give the commands a go, but I doubt they will help with this. Have a look at the threads on usb brick.

tried the first command, it says "waiting for device"...no response from phone and command prompt at all
hey guys, keep the opinions coming...thanks in advance!
Try flashing to a different compatible radio version as the version you currently have may be causing the poor reception/signal strength issues.

Hmmmm - the rooting process does not affect the A8183 - cos that's what I've got and it works fine. Maybe try and flash the Telstra ROM? That's the one that would have come with the phone in the first place. Who knows, that might reset something? Probably a long shot but you sound desperate!
You can get that ROM in the ROM sticky in this topic.
Now i have 0.80 bootloader it wont let me install the telstra rom since bootloader version being different (0.75)
any idea how i can override that?
After the rooting process when i first got the phone everything was working fine til two days ago

you could try this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-com/310186/mcr-telstra-8183-mod-version-3-5/
I think that will work with 0.80 bootloader.
I guess it's not easy to take the device for repair as I'm tippin you got it through eBay or similar, and HTC in the US probably won't support the warranty.
I believe that i had sort of the same issue as you are describing, sometimes my 3G connection died, and there was nothing i could do too get it back, and it sometimes failed to make a connection when i tried to make calls with full coverage.
I don't know how i got the problem, because the phone has been fine since i rooted it 1 week ago.
I decided to go back to the latest radio update I had before I rooted, and now it works fine again.
I used 32.34.00.28U_4.05.00.30_2 from the stock HTC radios thread. (new users not able to post links)
Hope this solves your issue as well, I have an unbraded Desire A8181.

im going to give the radio you mentioned a try...would u mind telling me where are you located and what network provider are you with?
Tried that radio already now it shows signal but the behaviors are the same, feels like its trying to establish connection but got stuck on upload (not sure if thats the case since only the up arrow stay lit but not the other one)
@teddyonair: did u drop down ur mobile by any chance ??? might be some hardware disconnection inside is giving u this trouble i guess.... otherwise with so many software reflashing & modding,ur mobile should have been working by now....
u better get a professional help either from the htc or from someone who deals with htc repairs.... this is my sincere advice if u wish to listen to me.... hope u have not screwed up ur mobile.... might be a hardware problem... just try this once... ok ????
i've managed to unroot the phone with telstra shipped rom. phone has been acting the same way.
so im not sure if it's the hardware issue. anybody has experience how to send the phone back to Telstra Australia for repair?
thanks!
It sounds to me like you may have a faulty antenna in your phone
Hi,
I am experiencing a strange problem with a Xperia Arc, LT15i, which one of my friends asked me to 'fix'. The scenario is as follows:
- The phone has no warranty
- The phone had a stock ROM from 3 here in Denmark, 2.3.6, not sim locked, not rooted.
- Whenever I try to make a phone call, it immediately hangs up
- The same happens when a call is received, no ringtone or any other indication of an incoming call, phone hangs up immediately.
- The phone is unable to receive messages
- When I try to send a message, it fails
- Messages sent to the phone are not received
- 3G and internet work fine
I thought that this was some kind of a software bug related to the stock rom, so I tried to install stock ICS on it by following one of the widely available guides, the ROM installed fine, problem persists.
I have not been able to find any information on other people experiencing the same problem on google, nor here on XDA. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can trace the root of the problem? Can it be radio FW related? Can I get any useful information by rooting the phone, installing busybox and tracing the system logs, dmesg, etc. ?
Any suggestions and ideas are welcome!
Best regards, Denis

If everything is stock, bootloader still locked, then try to repair your phone with sonyericsson PC Companion. But backup all your contacts and messages, because it delete al your data.
There is no data on the phone, so I am free to experiment as much as I want. I will try to see what the Sony Ericsson companion can do, but I am quite sure that the guy who's phone it is already has tried that, which resulted in the stock operator ROM from 3 being reinstalled. I am not exactly sure on whether the bootloader is locked or not, I have not played around with SE phones this much before, as I am used to HTC Is there a quick way to find out?
Hello,
I'm experiencing the same problem but with SIM cards from only one carrier (TMN Portugal). Its works fine with VODAFONE and OPTIMUS.
I can get 3G and internet but "No Service" for calls and SMS. When I try to call I get "Out of Service Area".
The TMN SIM cards work on another handsets, not in mine.
Did you solve your friends problem? If so, how?
Thanks in advance m8.

hi. i have a HTC One X from Orange Spain( CID : ORANG309 & version 3.16.75.2 ) running latest nightly from Cyanogenmod 11. I love this ROM but i have a problem and i just don't know how to fix this. i can't send SMS. always it says "error sending sms". i can receive them, but i can't send. so i read on the internet and found something about Voice+ from google. disabled it as that guide which i found said but nothing happened. i still can receive sms but cannot send. last night i found a nandroid backup for my phone cid & version and it reverted my phone to stock android 4.1.1 as i tought the problem would dissapear, but it didn't. so when i saw the stock rom didn't fix my problem i went back to CM11 as it offers me more flexibility. now my question is: can this be a hardware problem ? or something serious ? the thing is that i receive sms, but can't send. is there any solution ? anybody who went through this problem and got it fixed ?
thanks in advance !
LE: i found the problem. lol, silly me. it seems that my phone carriers has 2 SMSC numbers, and it seems i was using the wrong one.
Ok so I did a ton of stuff to my phone like rooting, flashing different ROMS, but in the end I want to get my phone back to stock, so I flashed the stock firmware with LG Flash Tool but now I can't call anyone and incoming comes don't come through. I just get a "out of service area" after a while whenever I try calling someone. Texting works and internet works, and so does Wifi. Also, my time is 3 hours fast when it's set to automatic in the settings. I don't know why it's doing this. And my IMEI is 0. Here are some pictures of my settings. One more thing. Since I flashed the stock, in my android devices, Google doesn't recognize my old device anymore. It treats this phone like a new device now. Weird... Anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Oh and when I try to update my phone it gives me this: "Your phone is not registered yet"
So many problems, I'm so sad

Do you have a EFS backup? Your IMEI is 00000000000000.... That's NOT the way it should be. Maybe the network provider blocks you from using the network because of an invalid IMEI (don't know for sure) but since you reflashed Stock ROM i don't think it's modem related...
I think I fixed it! I just used the kdz method of going back to stock instead of the tot/dll method and it fixed my problems! I got it from this thread if anyone else has the same problem:
