is anyone with a jasjar or mda pro experiencing low caller volume, mine seems to be very low.
The same for me too with i-mate JASJAR...
the same for me with i-mate JASJAR...
Me too on the T-Mobile MDA-PRO
I've noticed it too...
I've also noticed that the speaker when I listen on one of the sides (can't remember which side - either the screen side of back of the lid side) I hear quite a lot of "rattle".
Does anyone else suffer from that?
Me too on the T-Mobile MDA-PRO did anybody know how to fix it ??
confirmed here. Same issue.
I actually find it pretty loud on my JasJar. are u sure your volume is set to high? do you also experience low volume with video and audio or only calls?
only calls.
But - and this is strange - not always.

Hi All,
I bought an XDAII about 2 weeks ago and am very please with it, however, when I make and receive calls, the sound seems to be very muffled. The people I call also comment that I sound very muffled too. Is there something wrong with it, or is this usual ? I was also wondering if a Radio Stack upgrade may cure this problem.
Here are my current versions etc.
ROM Version 1.03.00 USA
ROM Date 09/24/03
Radio Version 1.05.12
Protocol Version 1337.12
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.
unfortunately it doesnt.
i know what you mean . . . but i upgraded my radio stack to 1.10 and it's still the same sound
i just hope it's just a setting of how the audio is decoded by the radio (sort of like the nokia setting you can turn on and off (at the expense of battery power) forgot what it's called.
cuz if it's not that, then it just means it's got a lousy speaker hehehe
hehe.. Thanks for the reply mate. At least I'm not the only one with a muffly speaker n mic
Ta,
Rob.
no prob :wink:
i think everybody has the same problem, only they just dont think it's a biggie (or aren't as picky as us) since the audio STILL is intelligible anyways
Has anyone else encountered a problem when either using the phone normally or through the speakerphone option, there is a slight rattling when the volume's set high?
This is quite annoying if common and is something other speakerphone phones seem to suffer from.

XDA2 not as good as it looks
Hi there
I have my XDA2 for 5 months and I´m in love with it, whenever one of my freinds mention its faults I get upset :?
But, we all know that the XDA2 is FAULTY big time, sofware not well developed yet, and yes, we think twice about buying software (same apply to hardware)
I have learn how to live with all this, still think that the XDA2 is a top tool for work and everyday life and I hope that other machines come to the market to compete, then we will get value for money
Bad Sound Quality
Hi,
I also bought a MDA II (T-Mobile Germany) some weeks ago. I really like it, but I also think that the sound quality is not the best. There are two effects that annoy me:
1. I can hear a high pitched beep in the speaker, always when the device is switched on (not only when talking on the phone but always if it is switched on). It is not very loud, but I can hear it clearly in quiet environment (my ears are still too good I think...).
2. The sound has to much "base" and to less "treble". Well, you can understand the person on the other end but this is definitly the worst sound quality I ever had on a phone.
This is the only thread I could find discussing this problem, leading me to the conclusion that either most phones are good and I got a bad one or most people don't bother if a very expensive phone sounds like a $5 toy...
Is there a chance to get a better sounding replacement phone or should I learn to be happy with it?
Regards,
Oli
Sounds Rubbish
Hi guys
i noticed the sound isn't as good as the XDA I when playing mP3's or MPG files on it.
does anyone know if there is anything that can be done to correct this ??
other than buying a set of speakers to go with it, doesn't seem much else ! ;(
any solution for this???????
I've got the same problem, however I've noticed that the sound is clear when I use the XDA 2 with my tomtom navigator the voice instructions are very clear, its strange + when I use the speaker phone the other party can hardly hear me.
sorry to tell you this, but i have got mine repaired and strange that they changed the motherboard to get rid of this problem, means it is a mother board problem not speaker or software.

The high pitched beep is caused by the poor filtering of the power electronics of the background lightning of the touchscreen. It is worse if the light is set to low. If you set it one or two notches higher, the beep sound will go away (or at least you won't hear it anymore).
I am having a hard time understanding people when using the phone of my s200. Even my bluetooth headset (HS850) is louder then the phone itself (and this headset is not relly all that loud either).
So, I am wondering if there is a way to increase the volume at all?
I am having the same problem, I have tried the volume boost tweak in the forums but had no luck. today I listened to the Qtek 9100 quality and it was far superioir, and what I would expect from a mobile phone.
I am taking my S200 to the service center tommorow and complain.
Qtek 9100 also has stereo speakers the Prophet does not, I agree that the speaker output on the Prophet leaves a lot to be desired.
looks like that there is a hack for this:

Let's not forget one of the most important registry hacks(taken from the wizard forum): volume fix.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN
there are various settings here, the most important is the earphone_uplink_volume that alows finally to hear clearly during a call
If anyone could clear out what the other setting are for, I'd be gratefull.
And why is there three different audiogain keys?

I could not get it to work as a lot of people
I am now on my second prophet (Qtek S200) and the phone quality is still very poor. I think I am going to have to swap it for a Qtek 9100 so that I can hear the person on the other end of the phone.
Its not just that the volume is low in the earpiece, the actual sound quality is bad, it almost sounds like the earpeice speaker cannot handle the sound input.
i have this problem too and i try change a earpiece from a nokia 6630 that is the same and the result is not good the sound in 6630 is good and the same earpiece in s200 is very low, what i can do to improve?
There was an article
about changing Prophets poor speaker with the motorola cell phone speaker ,that is very close in dimensions but much more durable and louder...
You may google it.
HTC Audio Booster
Found this on the site somewhere, don't know if it will help
I notice that every now and then my tytn speakers make that typical noise you get when your mobile is close to a loudspeaker. Sounds rather cheap. My wizzard never did that.
Does anyone else have this?
Haventh had that problem. Speakers work fine, no interference.
Don't meet this problem yet

Actually I suffer from something else:
While the volume of the loudspeaker in speaker phone mode is far too loud (and toggling it to minimum alsomost changes nothing), the volume in handset mode is far too low (increasing the volume also doesn't help here).
In speakerphone mode thus the sound is actually distorted because of the overwhelming volume.
As in both cases the loudspeaker is the same this can only be an issue of initial settings somewhere in the handset, worst case hardcoded in the ROM.
If anyone knows an appropriate reg tweak I'd appreciate that a lot.
Otherwise I hope that this be included as a substantial improvement in any future firmware update (mine is 1.18, German localized, but generic = no operator binding).
I wonder if anyone else with same firmware version experiences the same.

Thats true, got the same problem. Voice is too loud in speaker mode and too silent the regular way. Haventh had time to explore this issue more. Had this problem in every rom I've tried. Hopefully they will fix it in future roms or something.
Yep have noticed the same problems also - sometimes the "mobile next to the speaker" issue occurs and the loud / soft thing too.
same **** here ... also my crt monitor @ work is flickering every 15-20 mins ... damn ...
I have been experiencing call quality issues with my X7501. The problem seems to occur when the other person is in a noisy environment like in a noisy car or club. The result sounds like a broken or intermittent connection, where each of us can only hear bits and pieces of our conversation.
This does not seem to occur under any other circumstances so I am wondering if it is related to the Athena's in-built speakerphone. Maybe the microphone and speaker are interacting to cause this?
I am going to experiment with the microphone AGC, try covering the microphone, adjust the volume level, etc. next time this happens to try and track down the cause.
If anyone has experienced similar issues please post here.
Thanks!
Is anyone else having this problem? 65 views and no replies makes me wonder if I have a defective unit. I have determined the following:
1. The microphone AGC has no noticeable effect
2. The voice call is broken and intermittent if either party is in a noisy environment, not just the party being called
3. Covering the microphone with a fingertip restores the conversation to normal
It's almost like the phone is not full duplex...
Update...
I have found out that covering the microphone (like with a fingertip) solves this issue. This works at either end of the conversation, wherever the noise is. Of cource this does not help if calling a conventional handset (ulesss the other party uses the "mute" button...
I am still wondering if onyone else is having this problem? Please let me know.

I have te same effect if not using headset. That is way I mostly use my Jabra stereo headset. Works well in any conditions.
The reason is that the mic is close to left speaker. Solution would be to switch it off, but I haven't heard of anybody done it.
I also use voip, but not the WM6 inbuilt one. I use Aget phone. Normaly it uses only speakerhone, but with stereo headset, incoming audio goes through headset, and my voice is picked up by mic builtin the Athena. It works well.
i do get the same problem if the person i am speaking to is in a noisy environment.
I have just got into the habit of holding the phone with my finger over the left speaker since i noticed it and it seems to be fine now.
A niggly little thing really, but not a deal beaker in my opinion. Such is the life of the gadget freak.......!
I have a t-mobile shadow that I imported from the states to the UK. The only problem is the speaker does not work when you receive a call.
Basically you can not hear the other person talking but they can hear you fine, when you put the phone on loudspeaker it works fine.
I have tried replacing the housing but the speaker is the same.
Does anyone know where I can buy a new speaker for the shadow?
Failing that would some sort of registry hack be possible to set the loudspeaker volume much lower so that I could answer a call and use it on loudspeaker but just so the sound is not audible to everyone around.
Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
