Hi all,
Is it me or has anyone else managed to receive a better 3g signal since the update. Before the update I rarely managed to recieve a 3g signal but now it shows U more often than the G Signal.
Is it a coincidence or has the update changed the phones reception?
Cheers

I have the Tmobile version of the XDA. I removed the SIM lock and am now on AT&T Wireless.
My XDA has ROM version 3.14.40 ENG, ROM date 11/26/02, Radio version 6.18, Protocol version 324e4.
No matter where I am, how strong or weak the signal seems to be, I am unable to get more than about 11kbit / second (measured using bytecounter)
I was kinda expecting more.......

My apartment building suffers from a poor GSM signal strength. "MyPhone" software shows it as low as 60% sometimes.
The problem is that, as I go up in the elevator, the phone disconnects, and then won't reconnect without me doing a soft reset! Clicking on the signal strength icon, it just says "Searching".
Anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to force the thing to reconnect with a low-strength signal? I never had this problem with my last (Nokia) mobile phone - same apartment.
Thanks,
Graham

How long did you wait until you softreset?
Normal it should reconnect within minutes..
Also what ROM are you using? What network? AIS DTAC Orange?
Im using DTAC on ROM1.11 and no problems here with reconnection.
What prompted me to write was that I think it had been "searching" for about 4 hours before I did the soft reset.
I'm with AIS.

is there a simple setting ive missed?
back to 1.43, still crap, and the internet conections non exsistant?!
now on schaps 3.54 and radio 1.43
still poo?
swapped the sims between the herm and wiz, its defently the herm thats got it bad????
constantly 2 bars to no reception, compared to the wizards 4 sometimes 3 bars!
back to 1.38, still no better?
oh dear! 1.50 now, strugle to make calls, bugger all incoming working!
can i completely wipe the phone? and freshly install a rom, basically starting again? or is that no different to put a new rom over an old one, i can belive the phones this crap? unless my phone is faulty?
wizard is 2G only phone. Hermes is 3G phone. Are you sure that you are not comparing 2 bars of reception of 3G signal to 4 bar of reception of 2G signal on wizard?

weird - I have a P3600 from The Netherland which I brought to Italy. The phone worked fine with a Vodafone SIM. Recently I changed to TIM. As long as I have a good network signal Edge and 3G work as they should. However, whenever the signal gets poor and the phone switches to GPRS, I do not have any data nor phone connection (although the phone shows a strong GSM signal). As soon as the phone goes on EDGE the phone works again.
I already tried several Radio Roms. It looks like V. 1.56.70.11 is slightly improving the situation but in most cases I still cannot make calls and cannot be called.
Is this a SIM problem? Is there anybody in Italy who could tell me which ROM Versions TIM is using in their branded P3600?
Device info:
ROM version: 1.23.405.2
ExtROM: 1.23.405.103
Protocol: 32.83.7020.20H
Radio: 1.56.70.11
Any advice is welcome....
...likely it is only related to the poor TIM network coverage at my home. Strange is that my wife (she is using the same SIM from TIM) can make phone calls with her Nokia. It seems that the Trinity with the new radio rom is very sensitive to receive network signals but apparently the transmitting power is too low to connect (Trinity cares for your health http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) ....is there a way to boost the transmitting power or is it only controlled by the radio rom?
Hi,
I have an HTC Touch 3g from Orange. I flashed my phone using the latest Europe official ROM.
It is running:
Rom version 2.32.404.3 (44800)
Rom date 03/25/09
Radio Version 0.41.30.12
Protocol version 12.41.30.16H
I am having problems receiving and making calls. Most of the time phone calls go straight to my answer phone. When making calls it will often attempt to connect but then fails. Often text messages can't be sent. Connecting to the internet using 3g also fails the majority of the time.
Does the Orange branded ROM have carrier specific settings to imrove radio signal strengh?
Is this a common problem?
Thanks,
Ben
