Hi everyone.
I have an o2 xdaII mini, that I got a few days ago - which I'm very happy with except for the sound quality during a phone call.
Regardless of the speaker volume, the sound of the remote person is fairly distorted at times - almost like the internal speaker is blown.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this device while being used as normal phone (i.e. not on speakerphone)?
Hi, I have an MDA compact and I immediately noticed that the sound quality is VERY low...not even comparable to the P900 I had before....
and not only! I know other 3 user (they have the JAM italian version) that say the same thing as well!!! (from www.newsmobile.it)
I would like to send it back to the shop (in Germany), but I am not sure about it...
It was me to wrote above...
I am wondering also if a different RADIO-VERSION could make the difference in audio quality...
My version is:
ROM-version: 1.01.01GER
ROM-date: 10/21/04
Radio-version: 1.00.10
Protocol version: 1337.36
EXTrom: 1.01.120 GER
I repeat that I am very disappointed with audio quality in phone conversation...
My O2 XDA Mini's Radio version is 1.01.00.
It's true that the sound quality during phone call is not as good as XDA II, but I believe it is good enough for me.
It's a lot better than my old T68i and Treo 600.
Ok let me say this! I got the German T-Mobile with the German OS sound was perfect then I flashed it with English T-Mobile ROM the sound was still perfect! Then I flashed it with the iMate JAM ROM the sound became problematic with all the troubles you described so I flashed it back to T-Mobile's English ROM and the sound problems were solved again!
Conclusion the iMate ROM is buggy as fas as it concerns the sound quality and from your posts I see that the O2 has familiar problems with iMate's ROM. So I will stay with English T-Mobile ROM till a ROM upgrade will solve the problem in iMate's or O2's ROM.
Very good info, katsj
i-mate JAM (WWE)
ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 11/01/04
Radion version: 1.01.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.03.143 WWE
Sound is decent. Not as deep/rich as my SMT 5600 (SP3), but I have no problems hearing people (or being heard)...
i-mate said that they'd have an JAM ROM update on clubimate.com soon. (who knows what 'soon' means though!)
My radio version is 1.01.00 too, and my sound quality leaves much to be desired.
I discovered today that the sound is so bad that I can't understand the remote person at all if there's any more than a minimum level of background noise (i.e. in a department store).
The info katsj gave us regarding different ROMs is promising, but a refund seems more attractive at the moment. :-(
iMate already promised a new ROM fixing this problem! I dont want any refunds! I want this incredible phone to be perfect! Maybe the sound quality needs to be fixed but it is the ONLY phone that I can make a call at my house's elevator without loosing a word! All other phone I ever tried were just dropping the call! Even SE K700i which has the reputation of the best reception!
Like katsj, I have an MDA Compact with the T-Mobile english ROM and the sound is just fine. I was using a P800 then a P900 just before I got the Compact, and I cannot tell any difference.
Very well! I will wait my SD 1GB and I will try to upload an english ROM Tmobile...
The fact is that I have a German Tmobile ROM that, in katsj experiments, should be excellent for sound quality but in my case is very bad...
Why?
one more thing: which are the JAM forums where people are complaing about sound quality? I would like to have a look by myself....
i got the imate jam and the sound is really bad... i will try the t-mobile english version and hope it corrects the problem.............
hope someone could find a fix for it soon
O2 XDA II mini here, and sound distortion is bugging...
Radio version: 1.01.00
I'va got a MDA Compact from t-Mobile German versione updated with english ROM and my audio is very good.
I've got an i-mate JAM with the following:
ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 11/01/04
Radion version: 1.01.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.03.143 WWE
Terribles sound quality - has anyone actually flashed the ROm to the T-Mobile English version and the problem been resolved?
Otherwise it's going back for a refund - love the the device - but can't put up with the poor sound quality...
Where can I find the English T-Mobile Rom???
If the problem is just with the Radio version, can someone tell us how to update the Radio ROM only. 8)
I moved from German Tmobile ROM to WWE Tmobile ROM and AUDIO has icreased a lot in quality... I reccomend this ROM to all people that are complaying about audio quality...
ciaociao
I just moved from the P900 to the O2 XDAII mini 3 days ago. My immediate reaction when I first used it was similar to the comments posted. The sound quality is rather poor when compared to the P900. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or a firmware issue.
Same here
XDA II mini
ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 11/01/04
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtRON version: 1.03.147 WWE
Sctrachy, tinney, lacking bass, distorts, very loud even at lowest level- speakerphone is a tad better, but lack power, probably cause the treble would low the speaker.
I'm still having trouble understanding how it is the ROM version doing this- sounds like hardware to me....but if they can fix it, I'm in!
peppepep,
Can you or perhaps someone else with the T-Mobile MDA Compact WWE radio version post it to this site.
Perhaps someone can test loading this radio version onto the I-Mate JAM ROM and see if there is improvement.
Lastly, I have heard some JAM Owners say their audio is not that bad. I wonder if this is a hardware or radio issue?
I have interest in this topic, because I will have a JAM on Monday the 3rd.
Happy New Year all,
Ed

Is it possible to flash the Jam with the T-mobile WWE rom?? Will this help fix the awful phone quality issues until Imate gets around to releasing a rom upgrade. I see the T-Mobile wwe rom is on the ftp along with ntrw. Do you need to replace any of the header information since it is going from Imate WWE rom to T-Mobile WWE? I have a Lexar 512 mb sd card, should that work okay? Any help would be appreciated, the sound quality is awful for phone calls even with a headset. Everything sound great when using Meia Player 10.
Yes. It's possible.
There are two sound issues wit the Jam. The ROM issue and the issue of the speaker's soldering. THe update will fix the ROM issue but not the speaker issue.
I don't know if you'll need to replace the header.
Some SD cards get fried in the process but I'm not sure which ones do.
Hi,
A friend of mine who lives in the states recently bought himself an i-mate jam. He claims that the sound is really bad and says it´s like listening inside a steel pipe or something. His ExtROM is 1.06.113 WWE.
I don´t have that problem at all. I bought my Qtek s100 in Sweden. My ExtROM is 1.06.116 WWE.
Read about that this used to be a problem earlier but as I understood it should have been taken care of by now?
What tips do you have? Just walk right back to the store and try to get a new one or is it a bug that can be fixed? What´s the difference between the two ExtROM versions?
Thankful for all tips you might have!
Still needs some help.... Anyone?
I have recently purchased a Parrot CK3000 and a new MDA compact on T-Mobile.
At first all was fine, but after a couple of days, when you get into the car, the MDA would pair up with the Parrot but then take over the car kit as though a call is in progress. The stereo displays CALL and the music is muted. The only way to reset it is to turn the carkit off and back on again as well as the MDA.
I have hard reset the phone and the problem comes back after a coupld of pair ups.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a fix.
I have tested the carkit with a Nokia 6310 and it is fine, so I'm sure the problem is with the MDA compact.
I have :
Rom version 1.12.00 WWE
ROM date : 05/28/05
Radio version : 1.12.00
Protocol : 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.12.152 WWE
I noticed that Radio version 1.13.00 is out, but does this have anything to do with Bluetooth.
Parrot and T-Mobile tech support have had no luck fixing the problem.
Any help greatfully received ?
Thanks
Richard
Hi,
I have excactly the same configuration as you. I have ROM 1.12.01! Which Firmwareversion is your CK3000?
I have 1.13. The only problem with this version is a short heavy noise if i make a call. If your problem still exist after firmwareupgrade of your mda,
try to reset your CK3000 (press green and red button for few seconds)
and pair again.
Regards Yoshi
Thanks, I've just upgraded the MDA compact to Rom V1.13.00 WWE and radio 1.13.
I'll let you know if it fixes it.
Hi,
I'm running the O2 Exec with an Anycom SBH100, excellent pairing with one HUGE issue.
If the headeset is not paired I'm unable to hear anything in normal phone useage!
Damn that's frustrating, I spent ages getting this to work with my headset and now it wont work without it. :?:
Jasjar ROM 1.30.76WWE
Rom Date 20/02/06 (UK Date)

ExtRom 1.30.164 WWE
I'm not entirely sure who's A2DP patch I've installed now, to many trial and c*ck up's..
But I do have Zoki A2DP to uninstall.
I hope someone can put me out of my misery here.
When paired with my PC I can simply alter the audio back to the sound card, and it's the same thing I need to do with the PDA, I think.
Alec.
I just got my new Jabra BT8010. I was excited but not anymore. My Prophet is giving me a headache.
I have 818Pro that I love dearly, and I did A2DP patch as well as A2DP_Fix, AKU3.3 and everything is working fine (except some minor skipping, which I will worry about it later), but the biggest problem is that when I play music using WMP. It would play great for the first 20-30 seconds then it would start to distorts and going worse and worse until the sound disappears.
If I use Mortplayer, it will be better but it still would distort. I also tried using TCPMP and it's the same result with Mortplayer
I tried using my friend's D810 Dopod and it doesn't distort at all.
I did registry update, with the BitPool value of 58. UseJointStereo =1, SampleRate = 48000 and that doesn't fix it
I did everything that I could think of and did a research like crazy and couldn't find the solution.
Can anyone point me to the right direction? do I have to upgrade my RADIO ROM to 2.69.21 ?? does this have anything to do with this?
The following is my device information
Dopod 818Pro (G4) Overclocked to 273Mhz (Very stable)
ROM Ver: 2.15.13.27 WWE
Radio Ver: 2.19.21
Protocol Ver: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM ver: 2.15.13.121
Build 14847.2.0.0 >>>> I thought I did AKU3.3?
Any comment would be greatly appreciated
