Radio Nightmare...need help.

[jekjpopulous]

I've been using Dutty Hybrid 2.5 with radio 1.65.14.06 for months and all was fine. yesterday, i got no reception all of the sudden. i would get 5 bars and hsdpa for 30 sec or so and then i loose the signal completely for a few minutes. i did a hard reset...no luck. so now i just flashed about 10 different 6.1 radios. i either get reception, OR the camera works. none do both. i decided it had to be a problem with the rom. so i just flashed an L26 diamond rom. same thing. the fact that the the camera and the web/phone each work (with different radios ) makes me think this cant be a hardware issue.

Any Ideas?

You'd think that. But I honestly thing you have a Hardware issue. Due to the spontaneity of the first time this problem happened.

[jekjpopulous]

if it is a hardware problem...i guess i'll probably be going without the camera (its pretty weak anyways). still, it seems very strange that i could get everything working separately, although i dont fully understand the connection between the radio and the camera. this stinks. i'm also assuming that because i've flashed roms my warranty is void. does anyone have any other ideas as to what this might be?

[jahrami]

JimmyMcGee is our expert in the discussion but i also favour your theory that its not a hardware issue because you are confirming that Phone or Camera work well using different radios and one of them get knocked under at the time... yeah

i am suspecting that you are using wrong radio for your roms look here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182)

try official rom and how will kaiser react to it

if not revert stocked rom and stocked spl and Warranty will be restored check this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568)

i had the same problem with one of Dutty's ROM last week. even flashed back to stock and had the same problem. i ended up getting a new phone.

Before i venture an idea here, i believe we need some more information:

1) Did you mean Dutty's 4/29 Hybrid v2 w/ 1.65.14.06
2) The list of "10 different WM6.1 Radios" that you tried and which ones got reception/camera worked.
3) Did you try a hard reset already, because you didn't mention it?

Typically the issue w/ the camera not working also means that while you may be able to hear sound on your phone, typically the other party can't hear you when you have the wrong radio installed, just as a side note.

If flashing back to a stock rom, and hard reset do not work, then i would take Jimmy's advice and just do a warranty exchange, as it probably is hardware related.

@Jimmy - did you hear that? "JimmyMcgee is our expert" nice to see someone showing you the proper respect ;)

Serviced mine once due to this exact same thing.
One last thing you can try, go under band and put the first drop down menu to GSM.
If this doesn't help, you will have to service it.
It's some part that is made of lead that is veeeeeery cheap really:mad:
It get a little bent and they will straight it for you.
Happened twice with me, I eneded up changing the main board which was much better.
Then after 2 months of normal use and no problems, a guy wanted to buy it and he did.
Got myself a new one.
Don't worry if you are in warranty.

Do not forget to flash back the original ROM then Radio then SPL.
Oh, and Relock security if you unlocked it

Good luck

I would also venture that the Radio is not FULLY working, just partly, that's why sometimes the Calls work but no camera, and vice versa.

I'd say flash back to stock SPLs and Roms and Do a Warranty Exchange if you can.

Remember, You never flashed any ROMs. ;)

Don't worry I am sure the will be a influx movement to the Raphael Forum once it's released in the US.

Of course then everyone will be wishing for the good ole days when the forum wasn't so cluttered with noobs who aren't sure what they are doing.
