I recently upgraded to WIN2003 ROM 4.0.0.10. It works great, except few things, my signal is weak in places it wasn't before. Has anyone experencing this. Can I revert back to the orginal radio stack 6.18?
Also, My phone volume seems lower? Any ideas?
Thanks,
BrettX
I have experienced just the opposite. My signal strength and sound quality has improved with 6.24.
You can adjust the call volume by pressing the volume button during an active call.

I upgraded my Siemens SX56 to PPC2003. Everthing is great, however, even at high volume I can hardly hear the ringer when some one calls. I have the system volume at high and the phone volume at high.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Eric
I have the SX56 also and don't have that problem. Is the ringer you are using a standard one or something you loaded onto you device? Also, since you are with ATT, with this new rom do you get the little "G" in the title bar and phone section showing you are able to connect to GPRS? You can check by clicking on the signal meter in the title bar. Thanks.
I have had my K-Jam for a month now and I love it, but I find the phone part of it very inconsistent.
1) voice quality is inconsistent, some calls great some have static or are muffled
2) Bluetooth connection gets dropped out of the blue. I make a call and it works fine, two mintes later I answer a call and I can't hear anything; I look at the phone and I notice that the BT headset icon is off so I pick up the phone and I can hear the voice on the phone but not ont he BTheadset
3) Speaker volume very low, not usable for me; is there a setting I can use
4) when I roam to the US from Canada the signal strenght bars disappear and I have to reset the device (sometimes 2 or 3 times) before the bars appear again
5) lastely, sometimes the phone just turns itself off out of the blue.
Anyone else encouter any of these issues?
I use my phone for business and I find it a pain that it is so inconsistent.
Are there settings/registry keys I can modify to fix any of these?
Thanks
not much help to you,
but i have had none of the problems you have listed,
sorry i can't help
for (3) volume low.
I notice that handsfree (aka using internal speaker for public audience) is not "activable" if my bluetooth headset is connected (and even if I previously disconnect"tranfer" BT hS to 9100).
Only way to have this handsfree, is to shutdown previously by BT headset.
For other nothing special Roaming works well for me between France-Belgium.

I am having phone app problems, but not the ones you describe. I have to reboot sometimes because the phone will not dial from contacts. I highlight the contact and try to dial, but it just doesnt do anything, like the button is
not being pushed. Afte a reboot it works ok again.
Anyone else?

I'm having the very same problems, I'm also with Rogers (in Saskatchewan). Have you had any success fixing the issue?

This sounds like a carrier/ signal issue. See if you can tell how strong your signal is when things like this happen. Here in Nashville, TN USA, I don't have this problem.

I don't have this problem with my Motorola HS820. The BT performance is perfect. Much better than on my Blue Angel.

If you're referring to the speaker phone, there seems to be a quality issue with the speaker phone right now. A lot of people are reporting problems with this feature. I'm hoping a ROM upgrade will come out to help address the issue.

This is definitely a signal/carrier issue. Soft resetting when you cross the boarder isn't unreasonable. The issue is your cell phone registering on the roaming network. You're doing the right thing to resolve the issue, here.

Do you mean the cellular radio turns off, or the device sleeps? If the cell radio turns itself off out of the blue, its not supposed to do that, and there may in fact be something wrong with it. You may want to look into getting it either repaired or exchanged (depending on how long you've had it...)
I haven't had any of these problems with my K-JAM. Its been working very well, and I'm VERY pleased with the way its been working.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help.
Hi all,
Before I say anything, I am using the 2.17 ROM. When talking to people I cannot adjust the call volume. Its always set to max no matter what I do with the volume slider or the volume icon on screen. It's so loud that the speaker gets distorted. I am afraid if it stays this way either my speaker will blow or I'll go deaf!
Any suggestions out there as to why this is?
Thanks.
What device do you have? I gather thats a qtek rom. But we can help you more if we know if its a cingular/vario/imate etc... You may need to try the native rom to see if its a software or hardware problem.
Are you sure you're adjusting the volume while you are talking? In-call volume can only be adjusted in the middle of a call. (This may seem obvious but I only realised this recently )
I wish I had your problem...
Mine is the exact opposite!
My in-call slider does nothing. Sure, it moves up and down, (and yes, during a call) but it does not change the volume @ all!
Mine is stuck on 'almost inaudible' so i can barely hear anyone.
Tried 2.24 cooked T-mobile ROM, (that's when it started) and mr clean's rom hoping that would fix it...
No luck.
Anyone?
I have the same problem with my HTC 8125 by cingular with WM 6.1 (Newbie's ROM IPL 2.25 - SPL 2.25 - GSM 02.69.11).
Please, if you know how to help out, or have had this or a similar problem let me know what to do.
Sorry if this appears to be a repeated post, but i've seen a post with a supposed hack that has satisfied at least one user but others (including me) still are not satisfied with the phone volume. Unfortunately the post is misplaced IMHO in the Hermes upgrading section. Here was my question about the so called reg hacks and phone volume. Someone please help:
Are these hacks specific to certain ROM versions? I have the HTC ROMs and tried these and i still find the volume to be low. I had the original iMate (Himalaya) then the Prophet now Hermes.
Of all three, the Himalaya had incall volume close to a normal phone. Since then i found the Prophet to be way lower. A ROM upgrade helped somewhat. I thought my dissatisfaction with this would end with the Hermes purchase but i think the incall volume level is even lower than the Prophet!!!
I can't believe i'm the only one with this impression. Volume levels can be a bit subjective so i'm not sure how easy it is to compare with others. But if for instance you hold the device at a couple of feet away from your ear (less than an arms length) and replay a voice mail message at full volume, can you hear that there is any audio coming out of the device? Even in a relatively quiet room, just TV playing quietly in the background i can 't tell.
Someone with a Razr or any normal phone can be heard (other party on line) from many feet away at max volume.
This is my one o/s issue with this device. The speakerphone vol is much better than the Prophet and is quite good.
Anyone found a real universal solution for ths incall volume issue yet?

I'm with you ... this low volume thing sucks ... and I am surprised more folks are complaining about it too. Hopefully someone has a solution.
For a while there i'd thought it was my device only.
The thing is if you browse through the registry there are quite a few "volume" keys and values. I've tried a couple to see if by trial and errror i could get some volume increase but no progress.
Isn't there anyone with contact to HTC who can help? I find it strange that there would be no way to get more audio. Especially since the handsfree volume is so loud, you can get good volume playing back mp3s through the wired earphones but the incall (even through the wired earphones) is so low.
Could it be a hardware issue? (therefore not possible to fix with registry hacks).
It is true, it is sooo quiet! I tried several ROMs and several radios... Seems that only the different radio versions make some difference... Haven't tried any registry hacks yet...
I also think the in-call volume is very low. The hack appears for be for AKU 3.3 ROMs, but I haven't done that upgrade yet and search really hasn't turned up much of anything for the earlier ROMs

Same here. UK T-Mobile MDA Vario II. In call volume too low but just like everyone else the speakerphone too loud! Hopefully someone will identify the registry hack - there must surely be one?
I'm in the same boat and would love to see more attention going into the phone part of this PDA Phone--thanks to anyone who can help identify the registry hack or help solve this.
I, also, am displeased with the low in-call volume of my hermes. I've had the stock (Cingular) ROM, and now the XDA Live 0.20 WM6 ROM and the maximum in call earpiece volume was the same unacceptably low level in both cases.
Surely someone knows of a fix?!
Not sure how relevant this thread is - Cingular only:

Mike
Worth noting that this is not a universal problem. Mine for example with in call volume at max using scroll wheel whilst on call is WAY too loud!!
Mike
Thanks for the link. Alas, the other thread appears to be for the newer almost-official Cingular ROM... I think most of us here are looking for an equivalent hack for the older ROM (yah, I know we could just bloody upgrade.. but I'm taking my upgrades one step at a time ).
And yes, as a data point, I am on Cingular.

I am using the latest rom (Non-Cingular) so i don't think that's the issue. Is it perhaps only the Cingular ROMs ave this issue solved?

My incall volume problems r solved.. with these regedits..
I only changed the values to CC in these 2 keys in all Audiogain keys (resco regeditor)
EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall\AttenuationCategory=0
My call quailty has improved a lot. i could barely hear the callers voice earlier.
Thanks to EVA_D and MOLSKI

Hi, i did experiment with the tweaks, to be honest now i am not sure if they actually help. The audiogain tweak seemed to work on my PDA when i had WM6 running. But for Wm5, i dont need to use it, my prophet sounds fine.
Am tired of buggy wm6, so back to fast n stable Aserg rom, which has no sound issues for me..
no updates? mine SUCKS!
Hi All,
I'm using my wizard as a cell phone (without bluetooth), and the people on the other end complain that they hear themselves, with a second-long delay. They hear me just fine, but it's really distracting to hear what you just said come back to you about a second later (it's very low volume, obviously). What I'm saying does not come back to me, only the people on the other end have this problem. Is there any solution to this problem? Is this a known problem? I'm on WM6, 2.19.11 radio and use Rogers in Canada.
Thanks!
Thats usually a sign you have your earpiece volume set too high and it is passing back to them via the mike.
Try turning the volume down whilst in a call and see if that helps.
Thanks, buit it doesn't seem to work too well. I think it may be on the recieving side, or may have something to do with reception. Actually, I noticed that the speaker volume adjusting doesn't actually make the speaker louder/quieter, it has next to no effect.
