2.26 ROM + Dutch MDA Vario Problem

[Shah2]

Hi People,

I'm having some problems with my MDA Vario with upgraded 2.26 US ROM. Before my upgrade I never had this problem. With the new ROM I have.

My problem is that sometimes my phone losses connectivity with the GSM network. This would not be unusual if coverage in the area was bad or something like that.
But the matter of fact is that nowadays sometimes when someone call me the directly are forwarded to my voicemail. My phone doesn't respond at all, no missed calls or even the network coverage icon in the top of the Vario that usually gives dots if it looking for reception and network coverage. It's like it gets stuck or something, but only the GSM part. Because the PDA functionalities are working ok.

So in short MY MDA VARIO has good reception but still sometimes my phone doesn't ring at all and forwards every call to my voicemail and after some time I might get a sms/txt about a voicemail is some has left one behind.

I hope people who also have this issue might also have found out a solution for it. I have tried to search this forum but without any luck on this specific matter.
People who are in Holland and have also upgraded to 2.26 ROM are you having the same problem?? please let me know.

I might have to consider to downgrade my Vario to the UK ROM 2.23 I believe if this matter is unsolvable.

Thanks in advance everyone who will reply.

Cheers,

Shah

I have the exact same problem, coincidentally (?) also with T-Mobile NL... See Explanation and Help - Please [2 Parts] (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=59777) :(

Some people blame it on GPRS: AKU2.3: GSM connection dropped while making voice calls (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53432)
But I'm not buying that theory (yet), because I'm not running any GPRS apps, and to the best of my knowledge my phone will not automatically start GPRS connections if there's no app asking for it.... :?

Upto yesterday I was running this:
Operator: T-Mobile NL
Qtek 9100 G4
ROM: 2.24.10.1 WWE
Radio: 2.25.11
ExtROM: 2.24a Mr.Clean

In a desperate attempt (can you imagine the flaming you receive when your wife has tried to call you twice and only gets your voicemail :shock: ) I have now downgraded the Radio part only to the Qtek version 2.07.10 (which is the latest one they included with the Dutch version) taken from AKU 2 ROM 2.18.7.6 ExtROM 2.18.7.106 Radio 2.07.10 (http://www.myqtek.com/downloadRom.aspx?file=/media/20062411309100_2180706_21807106_20710.exe&node=16476&media=23747&device=9100&rom=AKU%202%20ROM:2.18.7.6%20ExtROM:2.18.7.106%20R adio:2.07.10%20Netherlands,%2024%20April%202006) (you probably need to register to download this)

I have really no idea yet if this helps. The coming days will tell...

If anyone's interested to try this I can post the Radio ROM only (2.1 MB).

Cheers,
Marc

Thanks,

Shah,

It's not conclusive yet. I haven't heard from anyone yet that I was unreachable, but then again: maybe they don't even bother to leave a voicemail anymore... :wink:

hey Marc,

I have downgraded my phone to the T-mobile UK official ROM as u might have seen in my signature. There is also a topic on radio only updates. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52952&highlight=

I'm not sure if I'm going to try this out on the US T-mobile 2.26 ROM just yet. Just to let u know I'm not having any problems with the UK rom. very strange. I might try to change the rom again in a couple of days. but will let u know what happens.

Cheers.

Shah,

so far I didn't have any problems after the downgrade of the radio. Maybe I'll try other ones later on, but for now I'll stick to this one.
