Hello PPL.
Can anyone help with the problem of losing the radio reception on my XDAII? All was working well before I upgraded to the latest ROM from O2, from then on it has lost 90% of the phone reception.
I've had the phone in twice for repairs, and came back working well until I changed some ordinary software on the unit, and bingo, phone reception was lost again.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before, and if so, how can it be prevented.
I'm at the end of my rope with this, and the Tech who fixed my phone by relacing the motherboard has never run across this situation before.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I've a weak signal too, but i don't understand why. Where siemens s55 and s65 show 50% - i have no signal! How to fix it?

Guys,
I had the same problem - I had to get my RF card replaced (apparently).
It came back with a New IMIE etc, but has worked fine ever since.
I suggest if you can get it fixed under warranty - you should!!
Basically I would have reception fine, until I made a call or received a call - the 2 secs later - call would drop out 9/10 times.
Hope this help - and hope you get it fixed.
I'm not around here much, so apologies if I don't reply fast! ;-)
cheers

Thank you Johnny for your help, I'll look into that. I'm assuming though that when my motherboard was replaced, the radio aspect of it was replaced as well.If I'm incorrect about this please let me know, but thanks again regardless

i've got radio reception problems, too. my device went to warranty repair and it returned just today (after a waiting period of 6 weeks). but the only thing that was changed was the firmware as far as i recognize. only the firmware, but no radio or hardware upgrade !!
in specific, my problem was, that i lost signal everytime i went to another radio tower, so especially on a highway. i'm just testing around a bit now, and i hope the problem is gone now. if not, i'll try to phone the company to get a new board installed, thanks for the hint.
why are warranty issues so complicated everytime ?? i wrote a very (!) detailed error description, but it seemes that the dumb people there just didn't read it !
