Hi,
I flashed my Dutch MDA Compact with the 1.06 Swedish QTEK roms and the 1.05 Radio Stack. But now, all of a sudden, when I use my speakerphone, the other side has a lot of trouble hearing me properly. Does anyone have a solution to this?
I already tried hard resetting my device several times, but this did not solve anything!
Other than this, I am quite happy with the update...
try lowering the volume of the speakerphone. Just by using the volumeswitch.
I'm affraid this did not solve my problem.
To be more precise: people on the other side of the line only hear bits of me talking, like i am breaking up or something.
Any other suggestions?

I can't help you but I have exactly the same problem.
I bought a Dutch T-Mobile (English ROM) last week and I immediatelijk flashed it with the QTEC 1.06 end radio 1.05.
I never user the phone with the original ROM, so I don't know if that had a better quality?
I've the original T-Mobile Dutch ROM still in place. No problem with the other side not being able to hear me. I've seen a lot of messages on upgrading the ROM. But I've seen very few messages telling me what you would gain. Also the sound of the speaker using the phone is fine to me.

mine is unlocked, and I'm using it on Orange network.
ROM 1.01.00 WWE
Radio 1.00.10

Same here. What will a compact owner gain? I did upgrade my camera though. Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18244
Sucessfully downloaded and installed the WWE imate ROM on their web site and reinstalled all apps without any problem.
Maybe I am too quick to conclusions, but I noticed NO CHANGE AT ALL!!!
Bluetooth is exactly as before, call quality is unchanged, the *&^%* Jam still cannot send anything by Infrared and worse, the Camera quality is now worse than pre patch!
Overall not a bad upgrade really, just a waste of time and effort!
I finally got all my apps installed as well. Wasn't easy. And to sum it all up, I didn't notice any discernable differences. Sound quality is the same. Stability is the same.
Anyone know what fixes and updates were supposed to be included in the update? Or did anyone find anything at all to be any different?
The only thing I can tell that it did was make my mp3's sound horrible. Very muddy sounding. I'm about to odwnload pocket music and see if the eq on there can fix it. Also looking for a way to downgrade.
Question for you imaters:
I had an imate for 3 weeks and sent it back to Amazon, bought the MDA Compact instead.
T_mobile has no support for this phone : they built correctly the first time
BT Active Sync with PC, no problem, but I never managed this with Imate
BT with GPS, worked with both IMATE & MDA
The MDA rom is stable, has good sound, photo's are ok, like all HTC devices.
So why not just leave Imate and change to the MDA UK Rom??

This makes sense as the operators often do a fair amount of the own device QA, change requests, etc. when they look at any new device. If they don't, they pay for it in customer support. Imate being a relatively new company has yet to prove whether or not it has the same structured approach to their product management. I tell you one thing, Imate will certainly not have the same amount of resources available to them nor will they have as much attention from HTC. That said there is a lot to be said for not being an operator when it comes to efficiency (but that is a different story). Enough editorial...
Does anyone know what the major differences are between the new imate ROM and the current MDA UK ROM? Has anyone used both and/or done a side by side comparison? Does it work on other networks? I'd be interested to hear more.

I had both
I had both and the major difference lay in the sound and the Bluetooth. Which is why I sent the Imate back.
Besides that, I have had an XDA1, XDA2, and the mda is the most stable rom yet (though the 2003 SE was pretty good on XDA2)
Also price, Imate =389GBP, Amazon, MDA=240GBP, given that it works better, it was a no brainer here.

Is that with regards to stability and quality or are there more features as well? In your estimation, is the difference worth a full reinstall? Thanks for the feedback btw.
Ian
imho the new rom is NOT worth a hard reset and all the reinstalling/reconfiguring/resyncing that goes with it.
to be blunt, I cannot see the difference unless I REALLY go looking for it.
I did the upgrade no problems, and my sound quality is a bit better. (less tinny) I recommend that if you do the upgrade use a quality backup program like sprite backup. I simply restored my previous backup over this upgrade and it went smoothly. I understand a fresh start is also sometimes preferable for for testing and If no problems, then I stick with this. If I start having difficuties then I'll reboot. The reduced hassles makes the 20-30 bucks for sprite backup worth it.
Mike
where is the ROM for JAM WWE???
Click here to download the Arabic ma_cdlsku2_arb_10300_141_10100_ship.exe (29 MB) or
Click here to download the Italian ma_cdlsku10_ita_10304_151_10100_ship.exe (26 MB) or
Select HTTP or FTP link to download the USA ROM ma_cdl_10600_150_11000_ship.exe (46 MB)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok my iMate JAM has this under device info:
ROM: 1.03.00 WWE
Radio: 1.01.00
ExtROM: 1.03.143WWE
But looking at the iMate website I cannot see a WWE ROM... can I use the USA ROM or should I wait for the WWE ROM?
Cannot get a ROM
I have tried following the link that everyone has for the ROM at:
ClubIMate . . .
ma_cdlsku1_wwe_10300_143_10100_ship.exe
ma_cdlsku2_arb_10300_141_10100_ship.exe
But I get Page Cannot Be Displayed.
My previous experience with I-Mate, having bought a used JAM, was that I now had to buy a membership and get an ID and Password to get anything.
Does anyone have the file OFF SITE from the club, or does anyone have a password, yada yada?
Barring all that, has anyone built a better ROM than that? Is there a kitchen available for it?
And anyone looking for themes I am selling a collection of mine on eBay and offer to sell 6 for the price of 3 to anyone that references xda-developers . . . I hope you like.

I just bought it in HK and quite happy, except the fact that the speaker (front) is very weak and i cant hear my friends (wife) during a call.
My ROM version is 1.03.00 WWE, Radio version 1.01.00
I heard there is a patch for this problem (that also takes care of a camera problem) . is it true ? where can i download this patch ?
Thanks in advance
hi you may want to check if you have adjusted the earpiece volume. when talking on the phone slide up the volume button and see if there is any improvement. to check for rom updates and patches. goto the O2 website.
It looks like you are using the original ROM that came on the I-Mate Jam. The new radio version is 1.05 and is much louder then the original radio.
Thanks.
Can you recommend where it is safe to download ROM ver 1.05 ?
radio 1.10 is more better because gprs problem is fixed.
what gprs problem? My gprs works fine?
Any way to make the speaker louder?
Yes, sell it and get a mobile phone. LOL.
All,
I recently purchased a T-Mobile UK MDA Compact and when I make a phone call the audio through the ear piece is very poor. The other person in the conversation keep getting a echo so they hear themselves repeating words also if they talk loudly the ear piece distorts. I took the phone to a T-mobile shop and they agreed with me and suggested I get a new SIM card which I did but it made no difference.
I also found that if I hold the MDA compact next to my ear with or without a sim card inserted and switched on I can hear some electrical interference coming from the ear piece.
I spoke with T-Mobile UK who said they was not aware of any problem but will send me a replacement. I have had 4 replacements now and all have the same problems poor audio and electrical interference and it is driving me mad now.
I used to have an old Siemens S55 and the audio conversation on that was so much better, it was like talking face to face with the person.
The only way I have managed to resolve this problem is too use my Sony HBH600 Bluetooth headset with the MDA Compact which produces much better audio. Has anyone else experienced these issues I am having?
Will a ROM update fix this problem?
Has anyone used the original i-mate Jam on T-Mobile UK and got these problems?
I spoke with a T-Mobile UK engineer who said the MDA Compact’s have downgraded audio in comparisons to other manufactures but in my opinion the audio is terrible.
Thanks

Hi Msuk,
Its not just you. I believe the problem is with the unit its self. I did read somewhere on this site that the problem lies in the earpiece speaker itself.
The link said that it was of low quality. The author of the post replaced the internal speaker with that of a better grade and the was a marked improvement on the quality of the audio. This unfortuantly seems to be the only way at the moment to improve the quality. I belive he replaced the speaker with one from a nokia 6610 as it was an exact replacement.
Just looking for link......
found it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18384
Hope this helps
It was me who replaced the speaker and YES a ROM upgrade to the latest ROM WILL improve the sound quality! So I suggest you first upgrade your MDA to the 1.11 ROM which is the latest (imate ROM seems to be the best so far) and if that doesn't help then try to change the speaker to a nokia 6610 one! But they seem to be exactly the same anyway! Just in some cases with the first T-Mobile ROMs the Magician was set to a very high volume that was making the speaker to blow up cause it could not handle the power load!
Thanks all, can someone tell me where I can get the latest i-mate 1.11 rom?
Thanks
Here is the link to the latest imate ROM http://www.imate.com/support/JAM/ROM/JAM_WWE_11100_132_11100.exe you have to unzip it to a folder and get the cracked MAUpgrade from XDA-Developers FTP, copy it to the folder you created with the ROM files and then RUN the cracked MAUpgrade and flash your T-Mobile phone with the imate ROM. In case you have problems the first time you try to upgrade then run again the cracked exe file and the second attempt will make it to the end of the upgrade procedure!
Hi,
Thanks for your response, when I upgrade my MDA with the i-mate 1.11 rom will I need to change the country code at all?
If so how do I do this and change it to what ?
Thanks
Msuk
Hi,
I am unable to connect to the ftp server could someone please send me the cracked MAUpgrade?
Also do I need to disable the USB connection in my ActiveSync before I run the MAUpgrade?
Thanks
Msuk
Hi,
I managed to get the cracked MAUpgrade but when I run it I get a country code error, does anyone know how I can get round this?
Thanks
Msuk
Hi katsj,
I have the MA_Dangaard_WWE_11100_129_11100 rom is there any advantage to upgrading to JAM_WWE_11100_132_11100.
And would it be better to do fresh install on all my apps or just restore from previous back. I'm not sure if restoring backups on a new rom will replace new setting and files the new rom upgrade puts in place.
Thanks
So, is there a point of changing the speaker if it is the same as 6610 one? Do I have to solder anything if I want to change speaker in my MDA Compact?
And what about the microphone? People who I call to, complaint that they hear me with triple echo?
I have a newest rom 1.11 for MDA Compact
Hi msuk,
I used this one it gave me no country error.
Well....
I happiness owner of XDA Orbit 2 (same as HTC Polaris at other form factor).
All work very fine, but one thing just kill me.
Orbit not work propertly with BT handset (Jabra JX10). I tried all posible ROMs: Bepe, BlackWidow, Rus 6.1, original HTC Polaris (WM6.0), original Germany ROM from O2. With all ROM behavior of BT handset was the same:
1. HardReset
2. Search BT device and connect it
3. Tried make call to anybody (I call to my second phone, but it doest matter)
4. First 1-2 calls all good. Sound good, mic work.
5. Tried incoming call.
6. At handset normal alarm tone, press button and..... first 2-3 sec normal sound good - then just noise (as white noise) and mic blocked.
7. All other calls like char.6. Noise after 2-3 sec.
I tried to changed all posible value. BitPool, BitRate, WaveDev and all other.... Tried stoped many service who can block BT (OBEX, ActiveSync via BT). Nothing change.
I think about hardware malfunction, but when I tried connect other BT device like external GPS reciever or HP notebook - I get normal work via BlueTooth. So, it mean hardware of bluetoth works good and with BT not work only handset.
Please, help me.
I got the same problem, but slightly different: the first 2-3 phonecalls are perfect, then there will be no sound. I tried with my 2 blue tooth headser.
with my headset, it happens 2-3 tims also.
But I met once the phone is not working when I trying normal phonecall without BT ot any headset.
I tried different ROM, it remains the same.
Similar problems with HF Jabra SP5050
Hands-free functioning with my previous cheep Nokia was excellent. Now the same Jabra SP5050 with Polaris: TRAGEDY !!!

You mean Nokia BT handset worked with Polaris very well?
What model name its handset? I try to test with my smartphone.
updt. It seems I understood what you mean. So, it my situation. Both Jabra BT headset works good with all my Nokia phones and not work with Orbit 2 (Polaris).
Henry_Lee & others:
Try turn off and on again (5 sec later) Bluetooth on Your Polaris when headset is on. Is it working?
Do it every time you start using headset. Need patch from HTC.

Yep, its work. Thanks for that. But it black magic and not good solution.
updt. It work until to first sleep (power button) longer than 5-10 min.
Then again needed reboot BT on device. F...k.
So you said you tried all kinds of ROMs. There are some ROMs out there which include the test version of the Radio ROM. I'm a strong believer of the thought, that the Bluetooth part of the test Radio is flawed and leads to results like the one you suffer.
If I were you, I'd check my Radio ROM version and if it doesnt match the shipping one (which tops out at 1.58.21.23) I'd search for that version and flash it. After the flash, a Hardreset might not be the wrong thing to do.

I wrote later that I tried flash original ROM for O2 Orbit 2. It ROM contain radio 21.23. And nothing changes.
But, I not wish change radio ROM. Last radio ROM very well and good quality of GSM and fast GPS more important for me. The more so because, BT still not work.
up.....
At me and many my friends (with Cruis) a similar problem. The first, second call - all is good. Then - break of BT communication. Works with SE is better, the Jabra is worse

Yep, tha same ****.
Today I tried Motorola H680, it good work with O2....
I think, Orbit2 or Polaris not work with BT headset with bluetooth version 1.1-1.2. Only BT v.2 and it headset just last 1-2 year ago.
Is the problem solved ?
Hi everyone !
I've got the same problem with my Jabra BT Headset. But i've found a way to make it work : in fact you have to get your headset already powered-on when you launch BT on your Cruise. Then, you can have regular calls.
Sometimes, it seems to disconnect by itself, don't know why. You have to power off everything, reconnect BT Headset, then re-launch BT service on Cruise.
Have a try and keep in touch !
It seems to me, a problem not only in version BT 1.2 or 2.0. I speak so since has bought SE 712 w/BT 2.0 and has dug into the same problems.
Have you got some news about BT & Cruise ?
Plantronics 590E with Orbit 2 works flawlessly... Distance, sound quality and voice command function is perfect without any issues..
...and A2DP, AVRCP function is same also... with mp3 or movie files... (..need registry tweaks.. i'm find these tweaks in this forum..)
Sorry for my poor English... :|
