Does your Trinity/Dopod drop calls regularly?

[BlackBeauty]

My Dopod D810 from 3 drops calls regularly.

I think every single call will drop out after about 1-2 minutes. I also notice that when my phone is 'warm' from charging or other uses, the call can drop as quickly as 10 seconds into the call.

Initially it was suggested that the drop outs were due to my Phone > Band selection being set to 'Auto' but I have since changed this to Network Type=WCDMA and GSM/UMTS band=UMTS(2100+800).

But now I'm more inclined to think it has something to do with the device's temperature....

Any other ideas other than taking it back to 3?

Try changing the Radio ROM.
I had a similar problem after changing my Radio ROM from 1.41.00.11 to 1.46.00.11. Now I`m using 1.46.30.11 version and everything is OK. I even noticed a GPS signal level improvement.

I have the similar problem too. I m with 3 Australia. Upgraded to WM6 official ROM, still observing if call drop still happened.
If not, will take back for warranty repair

I am using a HTC-branded P3600 with the official HTC GPS-enabled WM5 ROM on the Vodafone UK network. With reasonable approximation I can say that I have 0 dropped calls (including calls made or received while in car).

My network type and band selections are both "auto".

Sometimes I make calls while the phone is charging via USB from a laptop (which makes it rather warm) but I haven't noticed any dropped calls in that situation either.

Excellent idea. I'm currently using Radio version: 1.35.00.11...if I go to 1.4x - are these compatible with WM5?

Thank you anonimo - what radio version are you using?

I`m using a WM5 LVSW edition. Used it with 1.41.00.11 for 3 months without problems, changed to 1.46.00.11 for 2 days and encountered call drop issue, changed to 1.46.30.11 and not even a problem so far.

I am using my trinity with 1.41 and WM6 (AX3L) and I really never drop a call unless I step into an elevator. I am usually on UMTS or HSDPA living here in NYC and cannot complain about my service nor the phone.

I'm using version 1.35.00.11

[BlackBeauty]

Thanks for all the replies. Went ahead and upgraded ROM and Radio version to 3.00.707.16 and 1.46.30.11, respectively.

So far, no problems with call dropouts but I haven't made many long calls on it over the last 2 days but will keep assessing.

On the previous incarnation, I had also installed/uninstalled a LOT of programs over the 6 weeks I had had the phone so perhaps that contributed to the phone's instability too...

[boy_in_oz]

For me, it kinda worked the other way around...

I never experienced any call droppouts when I still had the original WM5 ROM with radio version 1.33.30.10 on my Dopod D810. (I'm with 3 in Australia)

After upgrading to the ANZ WM6 ROM with radio version 1.46.30.11, I can sometimes not even establish a connection as the call is dropped after the first ring or so. The other day I had to make a call 5 or 6 time to finish the conversation...

Is anybody else having similar issues AFTER upgrading?

Hi guys,

good to see that i'm not the only one that have call drop regularly.
Well, in fact, those are not always call drops.

Sometimes i miss calls and some other times, when i want to make a call, i see that my trinity's loosing the signal and starts to search for networks. Then i have to switch off the phone through the Connection Manager, then turn it on again so that i can make phone calls.

Are you experiencing the same on your device?

I'm still using Radio ROM 1.38.00.11
Do you guys have a link where to download the latest Radio ROM so that i can try it on my Trinity?

Thanks.

Yep, I experience drops after upgrading... But the strange thing is... even after downgrading to the shipped rom... still drops... ARRGHHHHHH :D

I'm just going to try another rom I think... not sure yet. Have switched my band from auto to fixed. First gonna see what happens.

[solitary]

Some said it is due to 3G/3.5G trying to establish a data connection (most likely for push mail) and in doing so the phone function is disabled. I did not verify this claim.

If anyone wants to test it, you might want to try:
1. disabling 3G and 3.5G
2. disabling data connection

and tell us the results!

I will disable HSDPA. But I cannot disable my data connection because that's THE reason I bought my device for :D (using it for pushmail but I can use that with UMTS/GPRS connection also, don't need HSDPA for it).

I have found if I have network on AUTO i cant make calls, phone call drops straight away.

Switching to GSM allows me to make calls, but then I have no 3G

[Arilexed]

Found that radio rom 1.46.00.11 has no calls dropping for me. So I'm gonna stick with that one.

Cheers.

Just updated to radio rom 1.41.00.11, first few calls on UMTS dropped, then after a reset calls now working.

I have this ROM actually installed in my Trinity, and i still have call drops regularly :(

Once more today, it started to ring, then lost signal.
I'm wondering how much people has the same issue.

[chunga168]

I used to have the same problem. I've reflashed my phone so many times coz of that.
But it seems like my problem's finally fixed
I'm using the most updated PDAVIET wm6 rom with Radio: 1.50.08.11

Been using that for about 2 weeks, haven't had a call drop since.
However I have had a few hangs here and there.
I run a lot of apps so the memory is pretty low most of the time. Yet for some reason I'm not getting any call drops so I'm happy. (Finally able to talk for like 15 mins without breaking up)

just fyi i'm also with 3, and don't have that band setting since I luv HSDPA yet certain areas only got Telstra reception...

Hi, I'm in Sydney with 3 and haven't had any problems at all with the shipped WM5. After upgrading to the latest official WM6 ROM version 3.00.707.18 from the Dopd site things went bad with phone calls and weak signals.
Now upgraded the Radio to version 1.50.08.11 and everything's back to how it 's supposed to be.

Cheers and good luck.

[BlackBeauty]

apologies but can someone pls re-post the link here to the latest, stable 1.50.xx.xx version?

thanks in advance...

Sounds like I need to upgrade to 1.50.08.11. I'm on 3 too - how do you use the Telstra reception? Just set your Phone settings to 'Auto'? If I change mine to all 'Auto', how is billing handled if I am roaming on Telstra?

Are you still free from call drops? I'm also on 3 in Melbourne and am seriously considering upgrading from 1.46.30.11 to 1.50.08.11 but am still unsure. Might just try and set my call settings (mentioned above) to Auto and see if that works first before upgrading the ROM....
