Cannot make calls from phone

[sprtbiker]

I got my phone from UK. O2 XDA Mini S which I am guessing it is the same as the wizard.

I have had a few problems with this phone. Recently my phone will quit letting me make calls. I normally have to turn it off, remove the battery, reinstall the battery, turn it on, wait and then use the phone. Then after a while, I cannot make any calls. I have not updated the software. Don't have the USB cable. Any suggestions what I can do to fix the problem. Is it a setting issue or a phone issue?

Sounds like a rom problem, but as you havent got the lead to reprogram it you only have a few options. If i was you i would use PIM Backup to backup your contacts and sms etc to your storage card and then copy any other files you have on the device over to the storage card then try a hard reset. go into settings and click clear storage type 1234 and click yes and your phone will wipe everything except for the windows.

See if that helps but be AWARE THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR PHONE, so it is very important to use PIMBackup to save all your contacts etc to your smartcard.

Here is a link to to pim backup

unrar it and copy the files to your smartcard then use file explorer to open it

Thanks martin,

Seems to be working a little better now. Hope I don't have to do it again anytime soon? Will I need a new software update at some point?

Getting a usb cable soon.

Spoke too soon. The phone looses the network after several hours and I can't use the phone to call. What do I do?

This is frustrating.

Has it been dropped? It might have loosened some on the SIM card contacts with the mobo, thats what happened to mine, and I can sometimes make a call, otherwise it won't recognize my SIM

I don't think so. So far I have reset all the default settings. It will work for a while and then I cannot make any calls. I either reset it (by pushing the button on the side) or remove the battery and sim card. It will work for a while and then quit working again. Do I need a new software? I get the USB cable in the mail any day now.

Or else I just need to get a new phone.

I know that mine is internal from drops, it just may be ROM related, try flashing a new one when you can and see what happens.
