UK O2 XDA Phoning issues ..........

[Ali-Butt]

Hi chaps,

Being on this forum for a few weeks now and am really impressed with the help received.

I have an small issue with my XDA (back to business :D ). Its really the phone part that causing probs. On two occasions i have tried to dial a number, it tries to dial for about 3 secs then just makes a little chime and ends. I tried about 5 different numbers and its the same.
i checked for reception and it was on max bars - why was is not dialling?

I did a soft reset and after a few attempts it sorted itself out.

I am a little new to xda (how'd ya guess :? ) - is this something to do with the radio version of the phone, ie something i can update?

I am using SE 1.1 (have not taken the plunge to 1.2 .. but thanks jeff !)
Rom version = 3.17.03 ENG
Rom Date = 05/15/03
Radio version = 4.20.00
protocol version = 32S54

If i need to update the radio, could you kindly tell me the link.

Thanks for your time.
Ali

Hi Ali,

I think the problem you are describing is caused by a bug. What is really happening is the phone number you are dialling is busy but the XDA can't handle this and so just gives you a rather unimpressive beep. The fact that after you softboot a coupld of times it goes away only means that the number is no longer busy.

I believe this is fixed in Pocket PC 2003.

Cheers, Malachi


...aren't chaps something cowboys wear? :D

Hi Malachi

A man or boy; a fellow. :wink:

i understand what you are saying about the phone being engaged, the thing is, i did try a few different numbers... hrm ...

you say its fixed in ppc2003. I have seen that on edonkey... but dont i need the ppc2003 phone edition or something?

is it safe to just download ppc2003 from edonkey and install ?

can i ask, is ppc2003 what you are running?

what is a radio update for?

thanks for your help
