I get a couple of rings, and then my phone resets. But it doesn't reset into windows mobile; I look at the screen, and I see the XDandroid animation..... like Android rebooted itself back into Android.

Now, sitting here with the phone, I haven't shut it down yet, because I'm trying to figure out the problem. I can enable wi-fi and browse the web, but it just says "no service" for phone signal. So, can't make calls.

Is this a side effect of Android rebooting? Perhaps when Android reboots without Windows Mobile booted, it can not access the hardware radio?

Is there a way to reset this without rebooting?

Having used Linux in the (very) distant past, I seem to remember being able to recover things usually without a reboot.

Let me know what you think, thanks
My experience with the radio is that it will sometimes just crash. I haven't tracked down the specific causes, but in my experience (possibly misjudged) I have found it significantly more likely to happen in places with weak signal, and thus more switching in and out of roaming mode.

This radio crash often, but not always, coincides with the android system crashing (which is what is happening when you drop back to the android boot animation). I haven't found any way to bring the radio back up after such a crash without a full reboot. I would not be the least bit surprised if it were possible, but I haven't seen a way (not that I've looked hard). Airplane mode does not shut things down at a low enough level, I guess, because it just hangs when I try it.
