weird bug with phone indicator not functioning properly

[strang]

by the phone indicator I mean the reception status indicator. after I wake from sleep mode it would not show any reception status at all. I cannot go into phone settings after that, would tell me wait 15 seconds then try again but after 15 seconds, same thing.

I can use the phone however, calls would connect and incoming calls would connect.

a related bug that I noticed, I cannot disable flight mode properly either. after entering flight mode phone shuts off (normal) but when I wake it would not come back alive. phone indicator remains with an 'X' on it and I cannot force it to register on my network.

running on Rogers Wireless in Canada. although I doubt the network is causing this grief.

anyone else experience this? so far there's only 1 ROM version available that I'm aware of. so I don't think that'll have any effects on this.

suggestions would be appericiated.

btw forgot to mention I'm on an I-mate K-JAM.

all else set aside this is an excellent device. being my first pocket PC I know I will have a great experience playing with WM5.

I have tried manually setting all sleep options to 0 with PHM regedit. that includes BT and phone.

in case any fellow Canadians are wondering about the availability of K JAM in canada. the answer is NO. I had to order it from a US store, paid a fortune clearing it from the customs and waited 2 weeks for shipping. tough luck being a Canadian .

Yep, this happens on mine as well. Sometimes it goes so far as to say "SIM status unknown." I hope a ROM update can fix it.

I have had the same issue on occasion... Not sure if it 3rd party software doing it though... Don't want to hard reset just yet...

I could not exit flight mode one time. Soft reset fixed it.

somewhat of a fix. I just turn power off after 3 min thing off while on battery. manually lock keys and turn screen off everytime I finish using the unit. the battery definitely sucks a whole lot more but phone don't go to sleep anymore which fixes the whole not recovering reception issue. and flight mode seems to work better as well.

Same here with my Qtek 9100. And my 9100 continues to show the roaming icon even if I am under coverage of my home network (Vodafone Italy). I think that this one is a SIM related bug (I tried to use another SIM and everything was fine), waiting for the next ROM update.
