network sundenly going off many tiles a day

[smmonla]

Hi,


Many times a day network goes off for no reason.
I have to turn it OFF/ON or choose select network.

It is not a network problem because I have another phone on the same operator that do not have this problem.

Thanks in advance.

I'm so haaappy to hear this from somebody else on this planet !!! (Thought I got mad)

Exactly the same problem, but only when in ROAMING.
The network goes off several times the day and the only option is to turn off and on the phone.

Another problem connected with Roaming mode is that when dialing a number, there is one dialing tone + second dialing tone (immediately after the first one, but its faster than a normal repeating one), which is extremely loud so that I get ear pains.

What to do guys?

I was talking to the PalmOne support using my support-ticket you can get with registration but he didn't hear about that and couldn't help me.

...that's so much pitty as I love the device

Try changing the 3g band to gsm under settings/phone/service/band selection that might help

Hi,

I tried to limite to UMTS but it did not work, passed it to automatique still did not work. Will try GSM.

I have noticed that I am having this problem only at work and home where I have a wifi router near by.
Could the wifi affect reception?

Shouldn't be possible as Wi-Fi is completely different radio band and there is technically no Wi-Fi corresponding element inside the Treo. But as I think this might be a bug (firmware?) why does so few people have this problem...

It is weared, I only have this problem at work and at home.

So they must be something that affect reception.

The only thing i can notice is the presence of wifi routers.

smmonla - have you got any news about this problem?
I tried to hard-reset, to change all the bands etc. but nothing helps.

There are no problems with my new Excalibur which is also very sexy, but still I want the Treo :-)

Hi,

Still having the same problem.
As I have read, we are not the only ones having this problem.
I also like my treo a lot.
Hope palm has a fix for this problem soon.

have a look at here. It isn't a very hot news and doesn't really help me, but still:

I have noticed that when I limit the band to GSM, I do not have the problem anymore.

Could it be an OS problem?

And now we are on the subject of 2G versus 3G, there is at least one advantage with the S620 not being a 3G mobile. You are free from the potential problem that some 3G Smartphones become “confused” regarding the continuous switch between 2G and 3G radio masts. A 3G Smartphone sometimes loses the connection to the network completely, even though it looks like you are “on”. Numerous Qtek 9000/HTC MTeoR/HTC TyTN owners have experienced this problem because some mobile operators have not optimised their networks for these types of models. These problems should be on the decline, partly because of software updates from HTC and partly because of mobile operators beginning to solve their network problems.
