Hi
I have two things I would like to do with my XDA 2 that I am currently finding I can't do:
1) Immediately output throught the speaker the live microphone input. I say this because I have an iPod and sometimes id rather use a speaker than earphones. Instead of carrying a set of portable speakers, the speaker on the XDA 2 would be most convenient if I could directly output an incoming audio signal. I have an adaptor so I can cleanly play through the music on the iPod and interferance would not be a problem.
2) Record sound clips either in wav or mp3 format as I currently do using Notes, but not have this intterupted by switching program or using the phone. I would like this simply to continue recording until it runs out of space or I return to the application and stop it. In addition a start/stop combination of the Notes button would be desirable say hold for 3 secs to start/stop rather than currently holding the button down for the entire duration of the recording or fiddling to tap the record button on the screen.
Im sure that both of the above are possible using some sort of software that I can download or buy. If anyone has any ideas id be very grateful.

Hey man,
You can't, because there's no full duplex sound driver in the mda
Else we would have an answering machine too
Hmm.. I have a problem, that I hear sound from microphone in the dinamic )
So maybee it is possible. But for me it is big problem, because i can't hear normal sound (played on phone, phone call, etc.).. only mic )
I've got it after installing BCHS bluetooth patch on my qtek 8310.
ps. Maybee somebody have registry dump from 8310, because I can't find what happened and how to return it back...
I cannot get any sound out of my MDA-compact...except for the phone.
So I do not get:
-ring-tones
-calender event sounds
-keyboard sound
But I am able to hear someone speak on the phone.
I set all sound on.
Disabled mute
Put all slides on maximum...checked several times if they stayed there.
It worked a week ago, or so.
Since then installed:
-wisbar
-expcal
-Tom-Tom
-Sprite
Tried setting back a backup...but problem persists.
There is 2 ways to mute the Magician if you have wisbar advance installed. Try to quit WA and disable mute. Depending on the skin you use it could be difficult to merge Magician and skin volume sliders.
If you are not success desinstall WA and try again. Then install it again and remember is better to use the volume hard keys instead WA Skin slider.
Good luck!
This may sound stupid, but I had a similar problem and found that something was Stuck in the headphone jack socket. Try it with the headphones. Also, have you installed the new bluetooth stock with A2DP support?
Works with headphones
Thanks admisi....it works with the headphones...but after pluggin in and out it still doesn't work without.
Might this be some registry setting?
Unlikely to be anything in the registry. If all sound working with headphones, then likely that inside headphone jack is stuck. I plugged and unplugged many times until eventually it freed up, only other thing is that the actual wiring to the main speaker has come away!
I do not think is is the headphone jack.
If someone phones me...it doesn't ring (it does through the headphone), but I am able to hear the other person through the normal speaker!
If it would be the headphone jack, I wouldn't be able to use the phone without the headphone.
It must be something with software, unless the phone-speaker function is hardwired different from the rest.
I had exactly the same problem with my magician. i could hear through the phone speaker and use as a phone fine, but the external loudspeaker did not work.
It was a hardware issue, and t-mobile UK simply replaced it for me
unfortunately, this is a well known problem with the magician and the easiest way is just to send it for repair.
Hopefully, your operator will do this free of charge. If you are still within warranty that is!
I hope not...this is already my 3th MDA-compact because of hardware issues.
I had loads of trouble with Tom-Tom because of having to reinstall 3 times already. Furthermore ActiveSync is ****...it doesn't let you install on an identical device with a different IMEI...so no restoring backups. That's why I purchased Sprite...which screwed my MMS database.
And the bluetooth headset seems to have a dead battery after 2 month's.
If I've gotten money for each hour of installation I would have had an additional month's income.
restoring to another device from activesync is simply a case of doing it as a guest the first time.
Cancel the partnership wizard, and then start the restore. it will ask you to select which partnership has the backup you wish to use and then it starts. that should work fine.
as for the MMS database, all backup programs seem to do that. I had it with activesync, Sprite and SPB, just stick with whichever you prefer, but don't restore the mail database when you do a restore. Otherwise you get the problems reported on the forum of having drafts and unread items which do not appear anywhere.
to be honest, if it works fine through the phone speaker, but nothing else, and there is no mute anywhere, it is most likely hardware. Easiest way to double check:
1 - back up using sprite/async/xbackup/whatever
2 - hard reset the device. when it reboots, do you get the bell noise when the 'tap here to set up your device' screen appears
if yes - is a software glitch
if no - your speaker is fecked, return for repair.
like was already said, the wiring for the speaker has come away. I remember reading somewhere that when someone took one of these apart, they found that the speaker is not actually soldered, but clipped to the main board, and the clip breaks easily. That swhat happened with mine anyway, t-mobile report said the speaker had broken off of the mainboard, and because it happened so often they replaced it without question.
I had a similar problem with mine. After using speakers plugged into the headphone socket I got no sound - but still got sound when phoning someone.
I found that there is a problem with the headphone socket so that after plugging something in then removing it, it still thinks it's plugged in. To solve it i started something with sound (I used a track playing in Media Player) then used my stylus to wiggle inside the headphone socket. Hey Presto the sound returned!
Go to Start, Settings, Sounds & Notifications. My systems sounds also disappeared last week when going from one profile to another on phonealarm, and my options was unticked for some unknown reason.
speakers
if none of thier ideas work, ITS A HARDFWARE PROBLEM, ur speakers are busted, the back speaker, happend to me, ended up bringing it to a service center, they replaced the speaker, after 3 hrs went back, gud thing i tested it there coz the speaker was working but it was God awfull, it was still busted, so i told the customer service rep, she rbought it to the technician, she daid come back the next day, i did, it was fixed, audio was flawless, she said they replaced the MAINNOARD, so as i f i got a new unit
Hey team,
I had the exact same problem today and fixed it by putting headphones in and pulling them out quickly once the music played!
Hope it helps!
signal not so strong (sometimes cant get signal), camera and comm button not functioning when phone is on but still functioning when need to get into bootloader, no stereo sound no ear speaker sound.. but when open radio put on loudspeaker, can hear sound... thia PDA is like short circuit or something... coz still can hear sound when use radio loudspeaker and radio can turn on without using earphone...suspect audio jack faulty (as many these kind of problem on atom come frm audio jack) so the audio jack already taken out... but still same... but still can use as normal PDA such as wifi, got powerpoint, excel, word, CORE player and many apps come with this titanium ROM....plz help can anyone tell me about the problem..thanks
firstly i ws thinking that your inner h/w of the camera or comm button is not n contact with the outer button for the respective. but since you have told that they are working properly in boot loader, so it is not the problem of contact.
Try one thing. Goto Start-> settings-> Buttons (in WM6.1). check if you have camera asigned with respect to the camera button. Check similar for the others also
Ok, so I should first state that I am a very ruff user of my 910c and have droped quite a few times and have even cracked the screen (which I have since fixed)... So with that being said, my device now seems to crash when I trigger events which produce some noises. At first I thought that It could be a hardware malfunction (which I still haven't ruled out) but not all sounds cause my device to crash. The only ones that I have discovered are setting the volume (notification and/or ringer) to MAX (other volume settings are fine and I hear the beeps), and when I click any soft button in iGO8.
I have tried to reflash with the verson on HP's website, and have also tried benjaminries wm 6.5 rom to no success...
So could this be a hardware prob? sound file prob? or a bit of both?
Thanks all.
"sounds " like hardware problem but u can try things that may give u more time till your next visit at repair shop
try the sound with wire headset by doing so u r checking the device amp
try bt headset ,u can force all sound 2 go over bt by using 3part app (lots of freeware-googe sound over bt)
good luck
Oooo, never thought of that. Will test with my wire and bt headsets tonight.
Thanks!
So I tried the wired headset and everything worked, so you were right.. hardware.
Decided to open everything back up just incase I bent some of the connectors when I put it back togeather after fixing the broken screen, and took the time to clean them as well. Took my time puttitng it back togeather and what do you know, It works.. Ha.
Thanks again for the troubleshooting tip erezyad
ok just a quick one.
i got my touch today in the post and the first thing i did was flash onyx ultimate rom..all went well or so i thought.
its been fine till i started playing with settings. i tried to set a voice to rotate the screen then i can get full qwerty without having to press the rotate screen key.
since then the speaker stopped working. i no longer get any ring tones or anything from the external speaker at the back..the earpiece speaker is fine but the external rear one used for playing audio and ringtones and oud speaker stopped functioning.
i then decided to try 6.5 to see if that helped but still nothing from the speaker at the rear. it seems to be a perm setting. is there a button on the phone that mutes but doesnt show as muted..volumes are full but still no sound.
or is there a hard reset within onyx that will load all the defualts
for me hard reset was the solution
like there was no sound while playin some midi tones.
& no support for jpeg files
so i done a hard reset & everything again fine
