8125 Locks up/Radio Resets after ROM Upgrade
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

I upgraded my 8125 to ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE and Radio Version 02.07.10 and it seemed to perform much faster.

Lately I have noticed that at random intervals while on a call the radio audibly "clicks" and drops not only the call, but the connection to the tower also, and must re-establish the connection. Very annoying.

Also, the phone will randomly lock-up and become completely unresponsive to any inputs. It won't take calls, respond to any buttons including power, nothing, just frozen. This will happen about once a day, and will even occur while on the charger. Just walk over to it and it's dead. Fixed by a soft reset.

Is anyone else having this issue? It's the strangest damn thing. I'm using an old ATT SIM card just as in FYI.

Thanks,
Marc

IDC means I don't care? Isn't it a bit annoying dropping calls in the middle, waiting to get a signal again, then having to call back?

Any help apprecaited

I think I have noticed that the radio issue only happens when direct push is enabled....I turned it off and haven't had the problem in a couple days. Turned it back on and BANG. Could be coincidence though. I'll keep watching

There's a 2.25 ROM on the xda-developer's site now... you might want to give it a try.

I would wait until the official Cingular ROM upgrade comes out. That way you'll avoid problems like that.

The 2.25 ROM is the current Cingular release candidate. Summitter's version seems to have a couple of quirks, but I've been running the vanilla version posted there for days without issue.
