Default Help... Problem with receiving calls on elf

Hey. I'm a new user

Bought an elf bout a month back, but the phone has big problem. Randomly, it doesn't ring when someone calls! Shows no missed calls either. Messages don't come as well.

And all this is very random. Some calls do come through. some don't.

Googled and found that a lot of peeps have the same problem. Supposedly, the phone doesn't ring when it is in sleep mode.

But i've had the problem even when i've had the phone constantly on and just locked.
I've tried soft reset but it doesn't work...
Should i get the phone replaced or repaired
Or is there any other solution.

I tried searching this forum but couldn't find any threads related to this problem. There was no information in the wiki either. Can someone help me???

I have htc home customiser, slide to unlock and a picture viewer installed. Original rom

Try hard reset, but remember to backup all your data before. Contacts, appointments, files etc. And better remove SD and SIM before doing it.

Default Problem after Upgrade

Hey I have a similar problem...

I upgraded my ROM and since then I cannot turn off my Phone cus if I do when i turn it on the Radio (as in Network) WON'T WORK! Even after I insert pin # it just says there are no networks available although every other phone in the house has network... I've tried rolling back to my old ROM (Blue Elves) but the problem persists...

Do you think maybe another Radio version would help?

The new ROM I installed had the latest Radio version and still, same problem... I'm stuck with a phone that has no signal...

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Same problem for me too.

I even took my phone to my provider and they messed around with the IPL, SPL and ROM but still could not figure out what's wrong. I get txt msgs (didn't bother trying outgoing) and I can connect EDGE and GPRS but can't make or receive any phone calls.

I did notice sometimes the phone searches for a network but can't find it (even when locked to my provider).

This has to be a common problem. All other functions on the phone works fine.

Please if any of you find a solution, share it with the rest.

Thanks

Cool Onix Light Version Rom Cooked by myself.

FOR ELF/ELFIN

This version cooked by myself solve the problem of unexpected shut down on 50% and 30% of the battery. A ONYX JR. 4.1.4 (Lighter) was cooked with the last radio IPL & SPL.

I have tested about 20 different Roms and I found some stability in a HTC Touch ELF with this cooked ROM. Similar problems occurred with various IPL & SPL and radio versions.

I supposed the hard code for this OMAP850 with speed of 201MHZ is too heavy for all the functions working at the same time. With some rom versions the battery goes down like 20% in 10 minutes with All radio functions (wi-fi, BT, GSM). I supposed it´s solved.

Mine is working for 3 days without reset.

Please feel free to try. Mail me to jf.informatica@netvisao.pt , because I don´t know if I could post a link here.

Notes:
REMEMBER YOUR HTC ELF/ELFIN MUST BE SIM AND CID UNLOCKED. (FIND THE WAY IN XDA DEVELOPERS AT THIS LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637 )
ELFIN: Free Storage Memory: 171.27MB; Free Program Memory: 79.23MB (Version 4.1.2 with only M2D running)
ELF: Free Storage Memory: 54.22MB; Free Program Memory: 22.91MB (Version 4.1.2 with only M2D running)
We are not responsible for any bricked device.

Ps: I have sent mine to HTC, and the solution was changing the mainboard for 179€. Bahhhhhh no away.
HTC Touch Elf

ROM version: 3.07.720.04 WWE
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.42
IPL:3.10
SPL:3.10
ROM date: 09/01/09
Radio: 03.18.90
4GB
