No Service and Reset Problem

[NickR]

I have an XDA IIi,

Since (I Think) messing around with the Terminal Services Client, I now cannot get Phone Signal, says No Service, it also reboots itself randomly.

I did a Hard Reset, Phone came back alive again.

Restored Sprite backup, problem came back.

Any idea's what I have done to cause this problem.

Many Thanks

Nick

Dont suppose you have an SD card inserted all the time do you ?

Seems slow speed / higher voltage SD cards cause big problems with the radio in the XDA IIi

The tomtom thread in this section has some info about this too, a transcend 80x card has solved problems for most.

If you dont have an SD card inserted then, disregard all i said above lol.

Yes I did have an SD card inserted.

To get my phone back I had to do a hard reset then restored using activesync.

Thinking back this problem may have occured since formatting the sd card with non standard parameters.

I will format using windows xp format and see how it go's.

As it happens I ordered a Transcend 80x last Friday. as advised by pocketgps.com poster andy-c1. see :-

not that this is much of a help, more of a tip: personally I think Sprite BAckup sucks.
I stopped using it after trying it 2 times or so, as it just doesnt seem to work like it should

SPB Clone is way better, but a bit more expensive too :S

Is the 1Gb version gonna be as good as the 512??

I have no idea mate sorry, i suffer like the majority as i have a cheap 1gig card that causes lockups etc ... i am seriously thinking of getting a Transcend card due to the reports everyone has gave so far and i would only really go for the 1gig size too.

Has anyone tested a 1 Gig Transcend yet?
If its the same voltage as the 512 then it should be ok but would be nice to hear some hard evidence.

hi, my first post here :wink: . hope your problem is solved..

it seems that many ppl suffered the same problem here-- after did something to the phone, like deleted registry file which described in other post, and for me screen freeze easily after i installed some popular programme, then i soft reboot it and this problem appeared. no phone singnal, self-reboots every 5-10 minute, and as soon as hard reset it, it works fine. that is exactly what happen to my phone. now i have to put 101% attantion not to install the programme which is not necessary, cos you never know when it will strike! :? anyone know why, pls help out, many thanks

Yeah I too have been bitten by this bug. I am not sold that it is the SD card. I had very good luck with a Kingston 1GB standard SD card. I definitely seemed to install something that corrupted the system. I now am stuck in the loop where it gives me the No Service statement and then will spontaneously reboot. I am running:

XDAIIi - PH10C

ROM : 1.11.00 WWE
Radio : 1.04.00
Protocol : 1337.42
ExtROM : 1.11.169 WWE

Everything is current. Ran with my current setup for a good couple weeks then BAM! it started this. I am thinking that the registry got corrupted and that is what is causing this. The other reason I am not sold on the SD theory is that it is doing this if an SD card is installed or not. Periodically it works, and will pick up a signal. I am going to nuke it tonight, reinstall my stuff and resync with my computer and then will make a Sprite Backup onto my spare SD card.

I will repost to let everyone know how it goes.

I've got the 1Gb Transcend SD card 80x and don't have any problems with it - It's the only card that I've found that hasn't locked up when using tomtom 5. Although, I've not tried my other SD cards with tomtom 5.21 only 5.1 or 5.0 which caused lock ups. I may have to give them a go. Even my Kingston Ultimate 133x caused lockups with earlier versions altough it was fine with tomtom 3.
