dual mode.

this could be the culprit of my problem then. some nuts on the net highly recommends putting it on WCDMA only.

but whenever i make phone calls, it get cuts off halfway while speaking, sometimes seconds after speaking. one time i noticed it automatically goes into airplane mode. i was convinced it was a software issue. googled it, and saw SO many other users going through the same issue. many claim its a hardware problem.

i browsed through network settings ,and notice that option GSM/WCDMA, i googled it, and realised one or 2 guys saying that if we put in WCDMA only, we will have problems making calls, so i put it in auto, and havent had a disconnected call from mornign till now.

so i think i can safely say, this was the freaking culprit of turning my airplaned mode on randomly during calls and disconnecting.

haihs. in the end, the only solution that solved my internet network issue switching between H+,H was *#301279# suggested by sngiapoe

and the WCDMA only (which i googled was suggested by some other forum) option just gave me more problems.

Thanks to LYN again! notworthy.gif

I have been using WCDMA only for past 6 months and never had any issue. I only use gsm/dual if i am not in klang valley.

I usually use GSM only, when i need to web browse then i switch to WCDMA. Never faced ur airplane mode problem before. Sounds like hardware issue to me

I used to be on WCDMA only, but then i figured having it dual mode would be better since my office has bad 3G signal.

But when I was on WCDMA only, never faced your problem.

assuming leaving it on auto, the call drop issue doesnt happen, should i just keep the phone?

or should i still return n get a replacement,it as it might be hardware related?

Well, if you can replicate the problem consistently. You can just bring it to service center to get it sorted out.

thats going to be difficult, cause it happens randomly, sometimes seconds making a call, sometimes 10mins during a call..

Well, you can only return it and get it fixed, they're not going to replace it (1:1 exchange) for you.

great. god only knows how long its gonna take to get it "fixed". haihs. hope my problem is resolved in auto mode. really dont wanna be sending in the phone.

anything software related im willing to do it, and learn at the same time. will update end of the day see if it happnes again.

that day i posted about the disabling fast dormancy on the phone. i ive done that. for some reason i checked last night it enabled again. rclxub.gif

currently trying to flash to superRom, i have installed CWM on the phone.

the guide says im suppose to :

v1.0:

Download rom from the link below.
Extract the zip. You will find a folder.
Copy the folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Go to CWM recovery
Go to backup/restore option
Select SuperROM_v1.0_I9100G

but when i extract the folder, they say some file is corrupt etc.the only zip file shown is named data.ext4.tar

i read on the net they said the to put the zip file in SD. im confused a little affraid.
