I have a T-Mobile SDA. I recently flashed my SDA to vj's 3.5 revision.
My office is in a basement (No, not my parent's. I do have a job). Because of this, I have always had issues with signal loss. With other ROMS (T-mobile stock, qtek AKU2, custom WM5, WM6 PEE, phils WM6 beta), I would inevitably lose signal at some part of the day and the phone would go into constant "searching" mode. Normally, when I went upstairs, the phone would reattach after a few minutes. Occasionally , I would have to reboot the phone.
With vj's 3.5 ROM, when I lose signal, I get a "SIM Failure" error as soon as the phone goes into "searching" mode and I have to pull the battery in order to reset the phone.
I went back to the qtek WM5 AKU2 ROM and everything worked OK. However, as soon as I upgrade back to the new ROM, the problem reappears.
A couple of thoughts (and I may be wayyyyy off base)...
1) This is the first ROM I have seen that had the STK Service listed (Sim ToolKit). Was it was just hidden on the other ROMS, or is it a new addition? If this is new, is it possible that the service is causing a conflict of some sort?
2) The default provider list under "Start/Settings/Phone/Networks/Preferred Networks" is MUCH shorter than in previous ROMS. Is this a possible issue? (i.e. my SIM is not identified on the closest tower). How do you identify which provider entries to add?
Please note that I am not picking on vj, as I love almost everything else about the ROM.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Thanks.
