Guest Dade Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Anyone else have any issues with the reception on their M5000? I just got my M5000 but the reception on mine is much worse than with my M500. Is this an issue that anyone else has, is it the M5000 or do I have a duff one?

I got cut off twice driving down the lower part of the M11 the other day, and I'm sure I've previously had no problems there with my old Treo. It may have been the weather of course, so like I say it's too early to be sure. Wiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the sim in the M500 and the signal is back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to effect calls though at mo,but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afhstingray Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 yep. quite bad compared to my c500, but i think its probably some kind of software issue grrrr we need a new rom!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mickster Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have noticed the reception on my m5000 drops during a call by ~50% when I open it up to use the keyboard. Anyone else had this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest No5 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 M5000 barely registers any coverage most of the time, whilst my old 6310i shows max signal strength at the same locations. My M5000 is currently "dropping" 9 out of 10 calls when I try to answer. Also takes about 5 attempts to successfully get through the answerphone menu without disconnecting.

Guest ndryer Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I Have the MDA Pro, and mine also shows very low signal strength (normally none or 1 @ work), but i never seem to have problems making or receiving calls. I also keep have reception in places the M2000 used to to struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 The low/non existant signal but still taking and making calls sounds like the signal indicator isn't configured properly (something they can very easily fix in a rom update and probably will). A radio stack upgrade should improve the actual reception (it's done so on my Pocket PC Phone in the past). Place your bets on which HTC Universal brand will receive an update first! My money would go on Imate. After all, they were the first to ship and usually release updates first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest basharv Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've noticed that my calls drop out when the phone changes from 3G to no 3G. The bars also change from no signal to 5 bars after the change on GPRS. I have assumed that this is a bug as the 3G signal also does this on my mobile data card but doesn't loose a connection.

Reception on mine totally sucks. One minute it will be sitting on the desk with 3/4 bars then the next I have no service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest w411y Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I read in another thread somewhere that Orange tend to neglect this forum... not sure how true that is mind but its definately worth reporting. Read a lot about bugs etc seems there is a real need for a ROM update ;) Lets see how long this takes .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jasonkruys Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Mine APPEARS (in the hour I have used it) to be very similiar to my C500. I live in an area of very poor reception, but I am still getting a signal as much as I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afhstingray Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 they probably knw about all the problems.... i wonder what phones the orange directors/ceo etc use..... chances are if one of them have used this phone, and they probably will have considering its supposed to be their flagship and all that......
