Are you getting "Beep Beep" when trying to make outgoing calls?

[jason.choy]

Frustrating stuff and i'm not sure if it's the phone or the network.

We bought 35 HTC TyTn's recently on the vodafone network and everyone's complaining about dropped calls and having to make multiple attempts before connecting.

We have done a test that confirms both mobiles have 100% signal and neither phones were being used and still we encountered that frustrating "BEEP BEEP".

Any ideas?

Also, have any of you noticed that the there's a bit of delay on the keypad? Any way to resolve this as it's a little annoying too!

HELPPPP!!

Does the "beep beep" sound more like a soft musical double tone than a beep? I've been noticing this myself lately when trying to make outbound calls but I thought it was something to do with Cingular's network. Are you running the stock TyTN ROM?

I was having this quite regularly on my XDA2 with O2.

I recently hard reset the device, and didnt restore my backup. Since then problem solved.

Could it be other software interfering?

If it's the monotonal "beep-beep-beep" sound, it usually means the network is busy- I get this in London quite a lot when on a UMTS connection, but seldom get it out "in the sticks" and almost never when on a standard GSM connection. I guess it depends how busy your local tower is. If the tower's congested, you'll get this tone even if you have a full signal.

As is goes, we had this problem at our workplace where there are around 400 people all using Voda (obviously not all at the same time all the time!!). Voda UK kindly installed a tower upgrade for us. Maybe worth a call to CS if you're a fairly big corporate customer.

As a slight aside, there are a few levels of priority assigned to SIM cards- if someone with a higher priority makes a call when the tower is full, someone with a lower priority gets chucked off. My understanding is that on most UK networks, there are 3 or more priority levels (with emergency services getting the top priority, understandably, big corporates getting priority 2, and everyone else getting priority 3; some networks assign the lowest priority to PAYG customers).

I sometimes get a delay on the keyboard, but usually because I have a load of apps running in the background- some cause this problem even after they've been closed for some reason (stand up Mr. TomTom 6). I find a soft reset solves it.

That wouldnt although explain why my reset has solved the problem.... i was getting that issue daily, now havent had it in 3 days.

Strange.........
