It might be the SIM card you are using too. Older SIM cards seems to be less compatible with hypersim.

For me, Outram Park to Redhill area also used to be a problematic area for me, usually get OUT, especially travelling from Redhill to Outram. I recently got my SIM card changed and I hadn't had to CPR since. Same applies for the other places where I used to had to CPR. I'm still using the same hypersim as before.

As MusicAddict suggested, you might want to contact n_bennyhk. He'll help you out. :)

actually i contacted benny he says those places are most probably network reset areas, and for network reset have to do cpr.

i have also tried changing to newer sim card but i still have to cpr.

skyline are you the one using inex hypersim?

Nope, I'm using a yellow RebelSim 2 at the moment. I'm on M1 though.

guys, my keitai usually can't be called and can't be sms-ed by my friend, yet i still got signal. and also the indicator is changed frequently for GSM and 3G.

Is it normal? Or Hypersim problem???

i think you have to set your network to only gsm mode to be able to receive calls and sms

Got it.
So, the problem here is the changing from GSM to 3G right?
No wonder some of the sms-es and the phone my friends sent to me is kinda late-arrived....

Sandykun, you might wanna read up this guide contributed by Kuro on how to properly do a CPR process on your local phone, and how to force switch GSM-only settings on your NTT docomo phone. (when you get new phones out of the box, it's usually preset default on AUTO under the Other Settings > International Roaming under yr phone settings, network search mode you may leave it on AUTO though, if not stable then just try switching to manual *I have been using AUTO since day 1 with n_bennyhk's BBsim hypersim though, no issues at all)

I understand that you are new to all these, but actually most of these questions that you had asked, can actually be found pretty easily if you do a forum search. (like for example, Kuro's FAQ general guide for japanese handphones which I gave you in one of the links above, is actually not more than 5 pages back in this forum section even if you don't search, but just by browsing thru by pages of this forum.

I am on singtel and hence alot of cpr is needed.

Uh, seriously I think I have mentioned abt this many times on this forum, there are many Singtel users ard like me who have no issues with regards to CPR-ing for keitai, I basically only do a CPR process for my phones every 3-6 mths once. The last I did a CPR for my P-01B was back during sometime in July this yr, and I haven't done any CPR-ing for my phone since.

I will give you a hint if you haven't been reading up the forums, for NTT docomo phones getting a GPRS signal instead of GSM (which u can see on yr stand-by screen when you turn on yr phone) will yield you better network stability, as compared to when u're on GSM. (this has nothing to do with your phone settings btw, since inside our NW settings under International Roaming, you can only choose btw AUTO, 3G and GSM) It's all about your CPR process and what local phone you're using for the CPR process.

You may wanna try reading up this thread before you start to condemn Singtel subscribers been incompatible with keitai usage. From what I understand, Singtel and M1 are probably having the best results when it comes to having stable GSM coverage with keitais, I won't say the same for Starhub though cos back during early iNEX hypersim days (which I have used before too), Starhub has always been the problematic telco carrier when it comes to keitai usage, and I have also studied abit in the past when it comes to radio communication, DCS/GSM-1800MHz network band is probably one of the worst bands to use for GSM network coverages, which is what Starhub has been providing for 2G coverage in SG in terms of their network towers. (3G coverage for Starhub is an altogether different matter here though)

As for the written guides on the 1st page of this thread, I just went through it abit and understand that it can be quite incomplete, since most of the guides or hotlinked information contributed by Skyline R34 are sorta in an unfinished state. Since he's already doing the community a nice favour by starting up a general FAQ guide for NTT docomo phones for the newbies, I think it's up to him to clean up this thread. So let's just kindly give him some time to do and properly clean up the guide on the 1st page.

Cheers. :)

@MusicAddict Which part of the filing you are unsure of? Let me know so I can improve on it. :)

@Haonan Yeah, I haven't been working on it. :o Thanks!

If anyone has any requirements now or has any idea where to improve on, please post here, I'll work on it. I'll be working on the datalink especially for Win Vista and Win7 from the installing of AppLocale and drivers onwards. Or if you guys have any done any guides, feel free to contribute I'll update the first page.

@haonan i cannot switch tO gprs because i have already disable it to prevent my previous phone from accessing it. So i guess that is why i keep needingto cpr my phone
@skyline for the tones must we create all the folders like the one you listee because i formatted my memory card from my phone and it does not give me those folders. But i did name the files correctly and syncing it with my phone using microsd mode but it does not work

@MusicAddict Yeah, you need to create the folders and put the file in the folder. Once this is done, you need to sync the card on the F-08A. [menu>lifekit or tools(can't remember which)>microSD. One of the softkeys should be a sync)

Or do you all have a more detailed guide than the one at the first page

you can try this to solve your cpr problem :s12:

i think it has solved my cpr problem, but i have to test more to confirm tested proven to have solved my cpr problem

first you have to cpr with GPRS also, you can go 0.facebook.com to activate your GPRS (wont incur GPRS charges since singtel got promo let us go there for free)

after that go Settings > Phone settings > Other settings > International roam > Network search mode > PLMN settting

enter submenu and choose 'Set VPLMN to PLMN'

it should show: 'Register current network?'

with a 'yes' or 'no' option

choose 'yes'

make sure that it is on top of the list and it only has gsm icon on the left

after that go back to 'Network search mode' and choose 'Manual'

select 'singtel' and you should be done :s13:

these are the steps i did for my sharp sh-01b hope its the same or roughly the same for your phone too.

i have also highlighted the main parts in red
