HTC :: Original Tilt Can't Maintain A 3G Connection
Mar 25, 2010
I just started having problems with my tilt in that it can't maintain a 3G connection. On EDGE/GSM it works just fine but as soon as I get in range of a 3G tower it connects for a few seconds and then boots me off the network completely. It then searches for a while, finds the signal again, and the cycle starts over. I've tried a few different sim cards to no avail. Is this something in the software or is my phone an expensive paperweight now?
I originally unlocked the phone so i can use it overseas while I was there, the connection was fine and had full signal most of the time. Since my return, my AT&T sim card is not maintaining its network connection, it will display 3g, I would try and go surf the internet, it wouldn't connect and it will go blank (like no service mode) for a few seconds and 3g comes back up. I had to reset my network a few times for the iphone to pick up internet connection. I'm on 3.1.2 with 5.11 modem and old bootrom 3GS. Anyone else is having this issue and how did you solve it? I'm deciding to reflash the phone with 3.1.2 without the unlock to see if this solves the issue, if it does then that means blacksn0w is the crippler that is crippling my AT&T network.
I have sony xperia x10 and android 2.1.I have always suffered with the wifi bug, when I have a low signal (2g only) I am unable to maintain a wifi connection.It attempts to connect then disconnect. I have checked and double checked this with security, mac address filter, wifi signal channel and even changed router.
Just got my shiny new LG G3 and reasonably happy with it. One issue I cant quite seem to resolve is that when the phone rings, the first ring is loud, then the volume drops. Not good when outside or in my pocket. Is there any way to maintain the volume at the higher level?
I need to be able to take photos for work, but it is also requisite to keep them arranged in specific folders so I know what they are and can be coalated at the end of the day.
1. Within the BB pc software I cant see how to view picture according to thiere respective folders. Also, how do you "multiple select" photos?
2. Accessing the BB filesystem throuh windows (J:homeuserpictures), i can only see one folder even though i have ten, in addition to the Wallpaper folder. I desperatly need to find a wokflow to get thiese pics off within thier proper folders on a daily basis.
I am using nokia E5-00 and its log has a slight problem, even though I've set the log duration to 30 days but it still doesn't maintain a log of the previous 30 days. The recent calls log only shows the last four or five calls in received calls and dialed numbers and just one or two in missed calls. Does Nokia E5 have a very small log memory or am I only having the problem?
Ok, after fooling with my phone and checking out all the cool new things it can do after the GB update, I have finally found a flaw, at least on my phone. In the past when listening to music, either with the car dock or headphones or hooked to my speakers at work, whenever I paused the stock music player, it would always keep the playlist current and I could pick up where I left off. Even if I just shuffled all songs. Now when I shuffle all and come back to it later or the next day, it either doesn't show any music as queued or will show the song, but when I hit play, it just takes me to the music player home screen. I also have winamp installed and it does not have a problem keeping my songs in the list. I like to use the stock music player because I can pause or FF a song without having to unlock the phone. Nifty feature being able to see the song playing and having those options on the lock screen. Why is my music player losing the song list? On a side note, winamp remembers what I was playing even after a reboot, but it does not show up on the lock screen.
I did a quick search and didn't find anything about this problem. I'll try to explain what's happening and hope somebody can give me some ideas.There are 3 towers that I use when I am driving around for work, all almost in line with one another.I live at A and have EDGE service there only. I know and accept this. I work at B, where there is 3G. Tower C also has 3G.The problem I have is that when I go from A to B, my phone does not automatically switch to 3G. In fact, I let it be all day today and never switched from EDGE. Its not until I get into range of tower C that it switches over. If I come from C to B I have 3G coverage at B, but if I come from A to B it doesn't register.
Its difficult to explain with words but I hope that works.Is this a problem with the radio, or the phone, or something else? Its terribly frustrating as I spend a lot of time driving between these several coverages and want the changes to be as fluid as possible.I failed to mention that I have the newest firmware from HTC on the phone, the one that gave me WM 6.1. I didn't want to change to a cooked ROM until I got everything figured out.
I know this may sound like a VERY very naive/dumb question but how does one turn off the phone (other than pulling the battery out!)?? Obviously I've pressed the power button but that does nothing. Is there some type of trick to this?? Also, how do you wake up/unlock it other than having to flip open the keyboard?? Sorry but this is my first non S60 phone.
i am looking at buying a tilt 2 from at&t (upgrade from a pantech duo). basically i am really craving wi-fi. i want the wifi because i cant afford the unlimited data package per month (im a college kid, and those prices are just ubsurd! ). and so i was thinking about upgrading and then because you have to buy the data package with the phone canceling it like the second day i have the phone.. however i heard from my cousin (who has like a nokia e71) that he tried this and after he canceled it he says his wi-fi does not work now b/c he does not have the unlimited data plan. this is just so plainly a money grab and selfish by at&t..
is this the same case with the htc tilt 2? and if so are there any easy hacks around it? or would it better to buy an unlocked one from ebay?this is pretty much the deciding point on whether i buy one.
I just noticed that I cannot tilt the screen anymore (when I hold it vertically screen doesn't adjust). What might be the problem? And how can I solve it?
I'm really surprised to not see more posts with questions or information about turning off the tilt function of the 9800. The most annoying thing is that I like showing 3 rows of icons on the home screen, but if you tilt it, it changes to 2 rows, tilt it back to portrait and it stays at 2. This happens every time. Not to mention, on a reboot, it reverts back to 1 row! Unlike the Storm, you cannot set a default number of rows. Regardless, I would ONLY use the landscape option while watching videos....so the tilt is very annoying. Anybody know of any way to turn off the tilt function? Maybe in the programming?
When I had my Storm, there were plenty of applications out there to stop the tilt, but ALL BUT ONE did not retain the settings after a reboot. This was very annoying. Even the one that did retain after a reboot, sometimes failed to work properly.
Hope this has not been asked somewhere else, but I bought used Tilt form a co worker, was told by AT&T that there should have been 5 tries to unlock, when I got it there were 3. I used 2 got one left. The IMEI # on the phone and when checked for electronically are the same. The unlock code was verfied sevaral times through AT&T and I have a european sim in it. And am unable to unlock. When the phone starts up it takes you directly to the unlock screen. Any idea why I cant unlock this? 1 try left and its not good for Europe!!!
Is there a way to set the tilt setting in your BB Storm 2? Sometimes, even in portrait mode, it goes into landscape mode and in landscape mode, it sometimes revert to portrait.any help?Is there a setting I can mess with to set it right?
I recently bought Nokia 7020 Flip phone and found this problem with primary display which is 2.2 inches. Problem is you cannot read out the screen when you tilt the screen even 30 degrees. Photos just look like as negatives when you tilt the phone to 60 degrees angle. You can see the correct display on the screen only when it is exactly in front of your face. Is this a problem with my phone or it the problem with Nokia 7020 Flip phone itself.
Nokia Dealer told me that Nokia has introduce LCD screen for this phone and not TFT screen as found in any other model of Nokia, hence this is a normal behavior. You will see the display correctly only when it is exactly in front of your face/eyes.
I cannot check with any other dealer as they do not have any demo model of the phone which I can operate. All are factory sealed and dealer refuse to open the box to get hands-on experience. Even he refused to take back this phone saying this is normal behavior with this model, when I told him that I want to return this phone for this screen display problem.
I still cannot believe that Nokia will introduce this type of screen in this newer model, where user will have to keep the screen in from of his/her eyes without tilting even 30 degrees to see the correct display on the screen.Whether Nokia is compromising on quality to reduce the cost? Could anyone please confirm on this behavior of Nokia 7020 flip screen.
I recently noticed that my screen doesn't respond to go on landscape mode when I tilt the phone.. Auto-rotate is on, I never experienced this before.. I saw that other ppl also had this problem, some with the update.
Whenever im at the homescreen, and i tilt the phone to the left..it will start switching to another screen..when i do this in the browser/message or something the cursor will start moving which messes everything up..is there a problem with it or is this a setting?
Ive been using the Sensation since more than two weeks now.... At first it was perfectly fine but now Im having problems with the auto rotate... When i tilt the phone it does go to the Landscape mode however when i tilt it back it fails to go back to portrait.... Its getting a little annoying now so is anyone facing the same problem?
I've recently bought a Nokia 5800 xm and have been able to connect it to my home internet using the wlan wifi.
I can only use the wifi if i go to settings>connectivity>wlan. If i go straight to internet, it tries to connect to t-mobile internet. This also happens when trying to use applications such as bbc iplayer and the ovi store.
Is there a way of setting the wifi connection as the default connection? If not, is there a way of setting up my applications so they connect using wifi?
I just received my 808 replaced by Nokia for the 3G bug issue. Now I have been noticing that annoying Connection Failed connection unavailable message every few seconds. Turned the positioning methods OFF and the frequency of the error message goes away but it still pops up every few minutes. I did a hard reset, removed the memory card where most of my apps are installed and it still gives me that same error. Ordered a new SIM to see if that makes any difference - none - Still same error message. That message is so annoying. Anyone have any other ideas that I could try ? Privacy mode is OFF also.
Ok I have a 808 bought it as a camera after it updated it, I get this unacceptable repeated popup"Connection Failed Connection Unavailable".Its like every 30 seconds.Its total black background message occupies valuable screen real estate at the top of the screen and repeatedly hinders normal usage of the device, causing especially unpleasant experience when capturing pictures or video.How do nokia users like me go about disabling this message and continue enjoying the experience of the brand we choose to trust?
