Hi guys!
I have seen a few posts from several of you regarding slow ActiveSyncs after upgrading to the latest ROM/Ext.ROM/Radio Stack, as available here.
I, too, noticed a HUGE slowdown while ActiveSyncing my device, right at the beginning of the sync... once things are moving along, it's okay.
Another problem I have is that every so often, it will start to sync, and then it will disconnect. I'll hear the chirps, but the green progress circle will still spin.
Anyone else have that?
Anyone discover any fixes?
Any ideas what's causing it?
Aside from that problem, so far the 1.40 ROM and standardized EXT ROM are going quite well.
I'd love to hear about what you've discovered regarding the painfully slow ActiveSync issue.
If there is another thread about this, please direct me... If not, maybe we could come together and find out what's causing this, and then perhaps we can solve it as a team.
Thanks,
Mike
If you are talking about AS via WiFI and how slow it is to make a handshake, you wont find any help here as far as how to fix this problem. No one on this board knows anything about it other than what is posted on the wiki.
I have tried upgrading and downgrading ROM, Radio ROMs, and cross grading. All kinds of ****ing ways and MS or O2 seams to just **** it up some how. Some ask you to upgrade to AS4, which in my opinion is really a downgrade because AS4 doesnt support WiFi.
Hey dude,
Actually I was just ASing through USB.
I seems like it's a lot faster now. It's picked up speed.
But sometimes it will drop the connection, so I have to take it out of the cradle and put it back.
Other problems lately are low volume, and I think my signal strength isn't as good as before.
I used to always get 40% sitting here in my basement. Now I am getting 20%'s and 30%'s.
I am excited to have the latest ROM and Radio, but the truth is, I think I was actually better off with the one that was shipped with the phone.
We'll see what comes out next...!

Actually, AS / USB works great on my unit and no disconnect at all. Do you have Wisbar Adv. installed? If so, what version/ build?
I can't comment on the signal strength since mine is always between 60 and 88% where every i go in the house.
Hey there,
Believe it or not, my AS is working flawlessly now.
No problems to report.
As for the signal strength and overall volume.. both seem to be a bit lower than before.
But it seems as if things are improving on their own!!
Are there two physical radios in the Tilt/TyTN II? I ask because I'm experiencing a strange problem that nobody else seems to have seen before. That, or nobody noticed my posts here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335096
The problem is that phone/data work fine when the phone is in non-3G mode. (In the Comm Manager, available in most recent ROMs, I have disabled the 3G mode, so I'm using only GSM here in the US).
In 3G mode, I'll get a 3G icon (used to get an H, months ago), but will be unable to place/receive calls, and no data connections will be established -- they'll all time out or say that "the answering modem has disconnected."
So, back to my question: is it possible that my radio is partly damaged? Can that happen? I'm not sure how else to explain the utter lack of 3G on my phone.
can't have a damaged radio, you could have the wrong radio for the device and/or version of windows mobile. 3g only works if in 3g area,have it enabled and turned on through comm manager.also make sure you're network settings are correct and make sure phone is set to auto in networks tab in phone settings,not set to gsm/cdma
PS, the search tool/wiki are you're friends since this has been covered too many times

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I've tried everything I can think of, and everything suggested. Nearly ever ROM I've seen, with nearly every radio; every combination of wap.cingular, isp.cingular, etc. The AT&T store thinks the phone is defective b/c they can't figure it out, either. In response to your comments: tried every version of windows mobile and most of the radios available; I'm very much in a HSDPA 3G area (used to get 5 bars "H" all the time); 3G is enabled; network settings are correct; phone is set to auto/auto.
Any other ideas, anyone? I appreciate it!
I've been have the same exact problem. I posted about it about a month and a half ago, but got nothing.
Everything worked perfectly until one day, out of nowhere, 3G stopped working for me. I've also tried multiple radios and ROMs and to no avail. The weird thing is that when it stopped working, nothing had been changed in months.
I know that I'm definitely in a 3G coverage area because I used to get 3G service all the time.
If I turn 3G on, it'll work in an edge only area, but as soon as it switches over to WCDMA, the problems occur.
This is super aggravating.

Well, the good part is, you're not alone. I found another forum online (can't remember where, I'm at work now and I found it last night) were several people were having the exact same problem -- in various countries around the world, including the US.
They had decent luck flashing the stock HTC ROM and then the French radio mentioned on the big XDA radio post (search google for "kaiser radio" and you should see it). However, I did the same and still have the 3G problem.
did you try using a shipped att rom and see if you still have this problem? if the problem goes away, then maybe its just a rom/radio mismatch problem. if it doesnt, then its more likely a hardware failure.
I'm in france, and since few days, i've the same problem, and i haven't change the radio. the phone is going for repair.

Can you keep us posted on what happens when it comes back? If it's really a hardware problem, many inquiring minds would love to know.
Bonne chance!

As mentioned in this thread, some shipments of the TyTN II have faulty hardware with broken 3G support.
No patch or driver update can fix this because it is a hardware problem. I experienced exactly the same issue with my first TyTN II and finally replaced it with a new device which works flawlessly out of the box.
I believe you should also better get your device replaced if you ever want to use 3G.

Hi, i´ve tested many roms, the lastest Dutty´s and Miri´s, and others and the lastest radio 1.14.25.24 with the bs_rilphone correspondent, and all the radios 1.13.25.24, 1.12.25.16, 1.10.25.25, 1.09.25.35, 1.09.25.14, i´ve tried flashing from sd, and from pc, but iam having a very low wifi signal, sometimes no signal, and no gps signal at all, using garmin.... I dont remember wich was the original radio on my hd, but i used to have a very good wifi signal, and gps signal too. Not happening now
Any help????
edit:
The only way i get a very weak wifi signal, when i stand near by my wifi router....

Don't forget you need to have your phone security unlocked before you can use this radio or you'll brick your device
Already tried that one too.... bad reception....

Have you always had bad signal even with stock rom? If so, could be hardware related so a warranty return may be best option.
If you have unlocked your device as you say, this will void your warranty. However, if you revert the SPL to the stock one, it maybe alright. Possibly someone like Olipro with more experiece returning security unlocked devices might tell you otherwise...
I had a very similar problem (no wifi and no GPS) and here's how I solved it. Remove the battery for 1-2 hours.

Ok!! Thanks!!!
well..kinda solution..i´ve decided to open my touch hd my self, and switch the anthenas, wifi and gps anthena and carrier signal anthena, (2 black wires) now i have a very good wifi signal, and one time the gps connected to sattelites very quick, but when put all the screws back on, (i´ve broken one, very little ones),very difficult to close the device correctly.
Now i have a very good wifi signal, and carrier signal, but no gps signal....
In my experience i will never open my touch hd again!!!
Ok to start off, I love flashing different roms and flash quite often. Not sure when this happened but after flashing one of the many roms, I noticed my radio version changed. Come to find out, I had no reception at all. Like the service was shut off. Tried flashing back to my original radio with no avail. Tried flashing various different roms, same problem. Even tried the latest shipped rom, still nothing. I've contacted T-Mobile, thinking maybe they terminated my service. They say ever thing is fine on there end. Tried searching this and can't come up with any thing. Anyone have any ideas. The rest of the phone works fine. Just no service. Thanks in advance.

Must be a setting change that occurred. First off, did you go through the connection wizard that typically appears in the beginning which set up your services to your cell phone provider?

Hey Spartan,
No, I have no problems with my device. Yes, I did downgrade my radio, but everything works on my end...
As far as my signature goes, the bottom one is the config to my Diamond.

I do go threw setup every time. As far as the SPL you mentioned, are you referring to the rilphone.dll I'm using? I'm using radio - 1.17.25.09. But I have tried just about all the radios with there rilphone.dll counter parts.

Sorry for the noob question. My mind didn't even go there. I'm using SPL-1.56.OliNex.
Sorry about this, seems T-Mobile is to blame. After countless hours on the phone with them. They finally figured out that they "accidentally" canceled my service. Thanks everyone for your help. But there was a higher power here to blame...the brilliant minds of T-Mobile.
I got the same problem as you before. All I do is to switch off auto-3G. The problem is on 3G. BUT later I change ROM to Ongkolog Superlite version but still need to switch auto 3G off. Later after sometime I now can use with auto 3G. But times it still got problem with no service (auto 3G) if I move to new location outside from my area.
Good luck

Hello all,
My issue with this phone has been mentioned here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=384f4daca48e10b1&hl=en
My basic problem is that atleast 4-5 times each and every day the 3G connection suddenly drops out. As the link says, I see the "up arrow" blinking, but no action from the "down arrow" next to the 3G symbol on the top right corner of the phone. At this point, all apps complain about no network connection. About 45-60 seconds later the connectivity is restored automatically, and I can happily do anything on the Internet again.
I've had the phone for 1 week and this happens regardless of location or signal strength. So I've had this problem at work, at home, while driving etc. The dropouts also occur even when the number of bars indicating signal strength is 3 or 4.
These constant dropouts are really infuriating and I'm not sure if it's a network problem or device problem. Has anyone else had this? I'll be very grateful with any suggestions.
Thanks.
same here, I dont know if this caused by my ****ty provider.
I'd like to try new radio but it seems it still has problem with bluetooth
I had this problem too, it was very frustrating. However the new radio 5.08 appears to have solved the issue for me (I don't use BT currently so can't report on that aspect)
Ask a work around, try setting your phone to "WCDMA Only". That improved things for me previously.

I have also had this problem and I am on stock FRF91. It really slows me down when I need to quickly perform a task that's data related.

This is exactly what I'm doing.
The internet oon the phone barely works on 2G, so I lock it on 3G only mode.
Have this problem on stock.
Also drops calls when it goes down to 1 bar (in areas where another phone with the same provider will have 2-3+ bars)
This has been discussed in detail here

Thanks for the replies guys. So if a mod completely gets rid of the problem, that means it's a software issue right? What's this radio 5.08 that solves the problem? Can I apply this chagne without rooting?

I also have an issue with the APN, I can't change the MCC to 425 from the default, it wont save it, any suggestion?

How do the CM mods manage to get a radio version better than Froyo?
