PPC 6700 radio upgrade - Page 2

Well I tried the upgrade and no surprise, no change. Oh well, it was worth a try. And are dropped calls a norm on these things? It gets horrible reception unless there is a good strong signal.

just all depends on your signal and how much you are getting. I rarely drop but everywhere I go I have good signal. However, when I go to my moms house I dont get good signal and sometimes cant make calls, miss calls and even drop sometimes.

Drop calls are direct relation to signal strenght.
When I go to my in-laws, get 1 bar on 1x only....I drop calls there or just don't get the call at all. But if I have 2 or more bars, I rarely drop a call.

Also, drop call can also be from the other end as well, not just your side.

Im using
Apache(Telus)
WM6 with radio version 1.10

I tried upgraded using the phoenix radio file .... it said it is not compatable
I tried again with some other file called re-pack ... i get the exact same issues

my goal is to make the phone respond better because whenever i dial out it says dialing for like 20sec then it connects.
Please help

even with 1.43 mine does that every so often so upgrading isnt likely going to solve that for you.

1.43 is a waste of time.

I replaced my XV6700 w/ another one, and this old one has radio 1.12.00 on it. It takes 20-30 seconds on dialing when you try making a call. Sometimes it will take 3-5. Usually it's above 20+ seconds... I find this rather annoying. Could it be that my phone needs an update? It's running WM5 with 2.06.00WWE (2/22/06).

Thanks.

All you can do it try, If anyone needs 1.43 I have it and can UL it tomorrow when I get back to work.
