HTC touch flash filesystem gets corrupt when searching for signal

[tichi]

Dear Experts.
I still enjoy my old trusted HTC Touch.

However, now I spend a lot of daytime in a building where the radio signal is very bad or completely absent.

In the result, my HTC Tough continuously searches for radio signal, and very often, it turns off the radio by itself, so that there is a cross on the taskbar (like one can do in the Communcations Manager).

Somewhere during this searching process, the main filesystem (but not the one on SD card)
gets corrupt (system files not found, cannot boot the phone) etc..

Hard reset helps. But it is very annoying to do a hard reset every week

Is this a known trouble?

Can someone suggest a remedy?

Thanks in advance, Tichi

I suggest you try flashing a few different radios and maybe different PRLs which may increase your signal strength but honestly don't expect too much. You could put your device in Airplane mode when your signal is weak and then re-enable it when you know you will get a better signal. Can you possibly share a data connection with a PC where your wireless signal is weak and leave your radio off during that period? Good Luck to you!

Thank you for your response, HerrDoktor,

I'm not concerned with the phone not being able to connect as such, but
with the fact that this inevitably leads to the filesystem corruption.

(why, btw, is WM constantly writing down some temp files while searching radio? or somethig like this?)

I hope that there might be some setting in WM, that could affect
this behavior, and let it still keep trying to connect, but without corrupting the file system

Thanks again,
Tichi
