bad phone in XDA2
Hi Jamiesteo
I had my XDA2 for almost 5 months and the phone facility is terrible, you will come across many more irritating faults and the best way to dial with it is just getting use to it (if u can) and hopping that developers will solve this finishing touches to an end
Hi guys!
I can't tell you if this is XDA related or not, looks like this is not so
"general".
Have you checked your phone is NOT in silent mode? Even if the phone aplet is not "on top", you should hear the beep and it should vibrate (If you have configured so)
Also DON'T close the phone aplet from the memory settings (running programs).
I agree however that the XDAII weak part is everything surrounding the "phone" part of the device. Microsoft is to shame here, but after having used a Sony P800 for months, I should admit that the XDAII is "at least" a decent" PDA, which the P800 is NOT AT ALL.
My phone "wish list" is so large, that it should be Micro$oft initiative to poll users about how to improuve this. Bluetooth being the first thing to fix!
:evil:
My XDA II does the same, i get people telling me it was ringng but it doesnt ring at my end, never found a fix for it but it is very annoying
phone software probs
have they ever updated the phone program? I mean I had an XDA before my XDA 2 and had this prob. Also found it annoying with the minimize rather than close of programs so downloaded various solutions for this only to find they had problems with the phone program not being able to close when vbar or such like was running.
Spoke to UK XDA warranty peeps and they said havent heard of probs with phone program so either we are dreaming of probs or no one else telling them phone program has bugs.
Hello get with the program you xda developers this is the way forward and fix that camera its shocking in anything but perfect light.
All these problems are caused by 3rd party software installed by YOU! I'm 100% sure, that after hard reset without installing any other software, your phone will work great.
You can then try to install your software and find out which is causing your problems. There is so many crap in software for Pocket PC.

Must admit I tend to agree. I have been using my XDA II since released in Malaysia some months back and have not encountered any of the problems you guys a relisting. Only time I do encounter any sort of problem it is because of a conflict with a 3rd party application.
Ed
Tend to agree here as well - with one additional comment. Some problems just don't come from the device but from the mobile service provider. Their backend computer susyems are just crap and sometimes give me a free signal and no ring tone on the other end...
Again, I have posted a few times about the phone service.
1. SMS messages from subscribed services, but with names of my friends as the sender. Very odd. And Yes, I have put the names in right.
2. SMS messages sent to my friends end up at completely different recipients in my address list.
3. Photos of my friends appear randomly when unknown callers ring me.
The errors seem to be occurring at the exchange, as the message and number are correct when I send them. They better sort this out soon, the relationship with my girlfriend is hanging by a wire after my flirting SMS(s) went to her instead of a girl in the office. How I laughed...for about 10 seconds!!
whats the crack?
if i ring my vario now, when its in standby, on the phone im using to call it, it conects and rings 3 times before the vario jumps into life and allerts me, giving me about 5 -10secs to answer b4 it diverts to voicemail?
its only recently started to do this??
mines done that from the start...doesnt really bother me, as i dont get many calls
i think i read on hear some one had found the registry settings to keep it 'powered up' in standby mode so it would ring immediatley, however the battery life sucked...
its causing me to miss alot of calls, really need to sort it
are your ring tones on your sd card? I read that that might be the problem.
yep they are, hmm will transfer it to the phone and see if that helps
after a few decades searching:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42674
my ring tone was on the phone not the card
cheers minty, i had searched but couldnt find anything usefull, will give that a try , looks promising
yeah...the search function is a pig!
good luck, like i said...your battery life may change
ring dam loud but still about 15/20 seconds before the phone makes a noise, it switch on after about 10second then rings 10 later!
still aint sorted it?
miss call constantly due to this the phone rings for 30 seconds, but starts to ring 20 seconds after the person calling gets the ringing tone?
Hi Fil,
Do you have PocketZenPhone or a similar profile app installed?

no pocket zen install, tho i dont know what that or similar is!
is that something i need? or something thats causing the problem?
Using Molski's 2.26 rom my Qtek 9100 rings with no delay at all, witout any modification. So if you don't mind flashing your Wizard, give it a try!
Hi,
Not something you need to solve the problem, just that some of these profile switching apps can cause a delay in the phone rinnging.
By profile application I mean a program that allows you to have several different settings and switch between them to change volume, ringtone, set to vibrate etc...
Thanks.
may try a new rom then, as the phones filled with crap anyways, could do with a clean out :lol:

It's a standard thing regarding PPC's, though as has been said before you can change the registry, but battery will suffer (SLIGHTLY)
If you don't want to, you can download Tweaks2k2, which has a fix to stop the 3sec delay, from www.tweaks2k2.com. There you will get a trial version which works for three goes...
Only takes one go to tick the box and restart your PPC though, and problem fixed.
Best Regards
NICE ONE and just like that its sorted
looks like that tweaks is a good tool! and at $10.85 or £5.72 ish worthy of a purchace 8)

Very worthy, it's always being updated, and has some great features
I have a Vodaphone version of Prophet G4. Sometimes when someone tries to call me, they receive a phone off tone. Even though my phone is turned on. I've tried many roms wm5 and wm6. they all seem to give me this problem. Never really used the original rom, so I can't tell if there already was a problem.
Anyone have a solution for this????
hi - i had this problem for a while. It was because I'd installed WAY too many programs on my JAMin, and was running Photocontacts pro on startup.
Either soft reset your device every day, or get rid of startup programs and trim down your list of progs.
cheers
Seems like I have the same problem myself. I, too, have PhotoContacts Pro, and a lot of programs installed. I cannot give up my installed programs (though very few are launched on startup), and I've gotten too used to PhotoContacts Pro - mostly for it's ability to categorize my contacts.
I guess I'll be one of the ones that fall into the users who will need to soft-reset their devices on a daily basis.
Missed calls

I've had problems exactly like this when I upgraded to WM6 from WM5. The only solution that worked was to flash back to an old RadioROM, 2.19.21. Once I did this, my WM6 Roms no longer missed calls.

I have had my HD2 for 2 months now I often have problems calling someone as they cant hear me (I can hear them fine) I reboot the device and I can call them and they can hear me fine. This often happens if I run another PGM and then close it and make a call, sometimes after I reboot and make an call and then make another cal the second call wont work.
I contacted HTC and the said hard reset as I knew they would do a rom upgrade I decided to wait rather than go through set up again. I upgraded from 1.48 to 1.66 on the weekend and still have the problem although I must admit it does not happen as much.
There was a similar problem with Samsung Intrepid but could not find a fix for this does any one have any ideas..
I have the exact same problem, i dont know what caused it.
wierd and annoying at the same time.
i just hope it doesnt happen to often.
i have the same problem , i can hear them , they cant hear me and honestly sayin i dont run any programs besides those which came with htc .
same...
i have the same problem, apperently when i make a call people say that they cant hear me or if they do that i tend to break up or sound low like a "robot"...but i can hear them just fine....
i am on att running official 1.66 rom...
Company
by the way what company are u guys on? att or tmobile if any of the 2...
same
im with t-mobile uk , and just about 5mins ago , phoned my gf talked with her for a while then her voice cracked and changed to a "robot" version so hanged up phoned her again and then it was fine , well i dont want to moan , but htc got to do something with so many bugs
used to happen all the time on my old phone, i think its a network issue...
in the first week that I had the phone, I also had some problems, but now I haven't had one for over a month.
with my previous phone I had it also, so I don't mind (and it could be a network problem indeed)
Network issue?
so if its a network issue then what does that mean for those that it still keeps happening too?...
in other words a rom upgrade wouldnt do it justice?...
Same problem here. It happened randomly a few times.
im on o2 germany and i get that thing with the robot voice too.
its wierd
Network problem unllikley
I used the phone here in Australia and had this issue went to Vietnam and had the exact problem I dont think it is a network problem. The robot voice are you using the external speaker as I have had several complaints and when I turn it of they can hear me perfectly...
Same problem here. Is not network related. I am on Vodafone RO. I`m not using Sense UI and still have same problem. If you change to speaker during call and microphone again is start working for that phone call. All the clues point to HTC software. Please confirm if someone of you have this problem but it doesn't use any auto call recording software.
hmmm...
well i havent had the issue with the speaker phone or rather i havent spoken to anyone through the speaker phone yet...
guess ill give it a shot and ill switch to the regular mic during the call to see if the person can hear me better...
i hope this isnt a hardware issue, better yet i hope the next rom fixes this up...
paying so much money for a phone that cant even do what a flip phone could do?
Yeap me too. Voda UK....
I un-installed some games and other apps and the problem has now gone. Think it must be something to do with 3rd party software.
It coincided with the whole phone being laggy and unresponsive so i have now flashed to a later rom and phone is like new!!!
DB
...
what rom did you change too? official or is it a cooked rom?....
i tried the switching from speaker then to the mic and again i have the other person still saying that they cant hear me...
this is very frustrating....

I don`t remember what ROM I had at the time but yes it was cooked.
Now i changed and i stop Resco Audio Recorder from recording my calls.
This is definitely a software problem. The "robotic voice" is a proof of processor overloading from some messed up processes. First culpits in my opinion areSense UI or some HTC code or Resco Audio Recorder.
Now I am on SPB Shell instead of Sense and Resco off.

so with the spb shell is it working now? i mean do u still get the messed up calling on the other line where the person constantly says "i cant hear you" lol
besides that i actually switched off Sense UI and actually hard reset my phone and made a call but the problem still persist...
has anybody tried changing the sim card? i mean i went over to att today and i got a new sim card when i made a call i still had sense UI on and it worked flawlessly but then i put my old sim card in and then i switched back to the new one (had to import the contacts) and it messed everything up the problem came right back...
Also there seems to be such few people with this problem? maybe we got faulty phones?....
Damn, this phone is crap!!!!!!!
No one can here me again soft reset hasn't helped.
This problem is a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mine is working fine now (in this moment anyway).
My actual ROM Leo lite v2.1WWE (30.1.2010)
Hello to all of you,
I am new the forum and I got my Omnia 7 just about 2 weeks ago. I really like it because of the excellent screen and build quality.
I also like the smooth and sleek feeling of Windows Phone 7.
However, I had regular issues during calls.
During about a third of my calls (including incoming and outgoing calls), I was not able to hear anything at some point during the conversation. The person called or the person who called me could also not hear me anymore.
The phone seems to work (no freeze) and the signal was ok. Turning the speaker on did not help.
Moreover, when I stopped calling and called back everything was fine and working again.
Sometimes it happened already when I picked up a call, sometimes after just a few words and sometimes in the middle of a longer conversation.
It seems to be random but regular, since about one out of three of my calls was interrupted.
It is really annoying and the phone is therefore going back.
However, I really liked the Omnia 7 and I would get another one, if the unit I got was just faulty.
So I would like to ask other Omnia 7 users if you have experienced a similar behavior of your Omnias during calls? Was my unit faulty or is it a general issue?
I would appreciate your feedback.
Thank you in advance.
Does really no one want to comment about how his Omnia 7 handles calls?
I would really appreciate your feedback, even simply stating your Omnia 7 works fine without any mic ans speaker issue.
I thus just added a poll to the thread, so that it becomes even easier to give some feedback.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Same with me on my Omnia 7 - A1 Telekom Austria
Spoke to Samsung but they were not able to help me out but sending me a contact info to a service partner (Extreme Communication in Vienna, btw)
Service Partner told me that there are issues with the Omnia 7 (amplitude control) and I should send my device to them...
As were are having the same troubles on approx 20 devices (95% of handed out devices) I have to check if repairing is an option (warranty from our provider)
will post later, if I have my device back...
No problems here, I've had an Omnia7 16GB since early February. It was unbranded about a week after I received it. No one I've heard of has had such issues but one who complains of "modem-like" sounds for him and the other part prior to missing a call. He also reported this happening every third time or so...

count me in...
having modem-sounds (or robot sounds) as well
and it's not only me - my co-workers have the same issues
but there are more issues:
it's annoying that my Omnia 7 (8gb version) is hardly able to receive calls at the first time (approx 75% of the incoming calls) - if I call back, most of the time it seems to be ok
these problems do not only affect my device, but about 95% of Omnia 7 we handed out to our co-workers
I had the chance to test a HTC 7 Trophy - none of the errors I have on my Omnia happened on the Trophy!
I have the same issue, using T-mobile in the netherlands, I just always assumed it was them.
I've noticed this only happens on 3G and 3G+ networks, if i turn off data and use the normal G network, I don't get call problems, which why I assumed it was t-mobile.
I'm having the same issue on most of my calls. In the beginning I thought it was a network issue. Haven't been able to figure out how to fix it so far. Will call Samsung support.
Has anyone here updated their ROM to the latest XENJK from samfirmwares.com? I had issues with the mic going silent during calls til I upgraded to that
Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express

Thanks for your comments so far...
At least I am not alone with this issue...
I am now really wondering if this could be a software/ROM/firmware issue given Blade0rz comment...
How can I check the firmware/ROM on the Omnia 7?...my Omnia 7 is unbranded from Germany and the "About" section in the settings of my Omnia 7 does not give any info on a build or version number...does anyone know?
@simon marktl:thanks for your feedback...actually 19 faulty units out of 20 sounds quite bad...I would be pleased if you could let us know if the service point could resolve the issue and especially how they did it once you get your device back...
@eqzgkxokwa: I would be pleased if you could let us know about the solution proposed by the Samsung support...thanks (by the way eqzgkxokwa, that´s a tricky nickname )
@ Phyx and leoms17: I actually use the 2G network 99.9% of the time...but as explained I have the issue regularly....so it is not limited to 3G or 3G+...but if 3G off helps for you it just makes the issue even more curious...I do not think it is due to the network, rather something is going on with the phone...
in diagnostic screen hit *#1234# you'll get all your info. Firmware ending in JK1 is the latest.
Thanks leoms17...I may sound stupid but how do I actually get in the "diagnostic screen"?...I did not find it in the menu, so I assume there is some trick...actually I do not want to brick the phone or do something wrong...
Is there no possibility to get a simple info about the firmware without using a crazy code?
also have this issue, assumed it was a poor signal or something like the death grip. Does not seem to make a difference whether im being called or place the call myself.
I got it several times, suddenly it just goes silent. Holding the phone away from the ear so the diplsay turns on seems to make it work again but not for very long.
I had the original T-mobile Germany branded firmware I8700DTMJJ6, updated to JK1 yesterday, but did not test if its fixed now.
One final idea would be to play around with the volume settings in diag mode, increasing volume for incoming calls or something.
Btw, did anyone notice that there is absolutely no background noise during a call, even if the person is in a noisy environment?

Turning off 3G seems to help a little bit - at least I'm not running into troubles as often as having 3G enabled...

good morning
as soon as I have a feedback from my provider if the repairing is covered by our warranty contract, I'm going to send in a few more phones to the service point...
of course I will post the results here, but could take a while...

I've had this issue with my Omnia 7 (T-Mobile US) as well. There were a couple instances where I answered a call and was not able to hear the person on the other end.

just dial ##634#
wait about 2 seconds, than you are in the diag menu
after dialing ##634# you'll find diagnosis on your phone for future use

I had this issues with the original firmware from my provider (I8700XXJJ3)
and I still have them with
Phone I8700XXJK1
PDA I8700XXJK1
CSC I8700XENJK1
Software on Phone itself is 7.0.7008.0, no NoDo available yet
Maybe the new firmware I8700XXKA1 (January) helps out - but I wasn't able to download it anywhere
Same issues here
I have issues with both modem/robot-calls but lately it's gone from 1/3 of the calls beeing robot to 3/4 of the calls loosing all sound after 20-60 seconds. Robotic cals are not as common. For me I have problem only when I receive calls and never when I make the call.
I have had my Omnia in for service a month ago but the short message from them was that they found no problems. They upgraded the firmware to the latest version but I still have issues as stated above.
My radio hardware version is
0.0.0.2
I have seen posts where radio hardware is much higher. Can the problem be related to old radio hardware?
I am hoping nodo and new firmware from Samsung will fix this but so far I havn't got it.
