hy, yesterday i bought my mda compact
Im ex owner of mda1, and mda2 so i noticed that compact has 2 speakers, one for multimedia and one for conversations over the phone.
My multimedia speaker is fine,loud and clear but phone speaker is quiet and i hardly hear my collocutor when im walking through city.
Is this normal? how can i fix this? is there a software solution for my problem?
tnx
I thinks that you must replace with new speaker.
Hi,
Mine has become better (I mean louder) after upgrading the rom to 1.13 (T-Mobile, bigstorage)

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).
open , choose an better speaker, replace with it
replace with what though? The mini speaker itself is very small. A better alternative would be to get a charging cradle with audio out and connect up a pair of speakers to the cradle or get a cradle speaker from Expansys.
Get a different phone is how you do it.
Or buy a hi-fi speaker connect to your ppc....
my speaker died.. i opened it up.. removed speaker.. now looking for another to replace it. Maybe a headphone/earphone speaker might fit...
I can´t find the thread. But a long time ago, somebody posted that he had replaced it with a nokia 6100 speaker.
shine on
Is this the speaker on the back of the phone, next to the camera that people are talking about ? or the ear piece one ?
im not sure if it is meant for that particular speaker, but the nokia ngage speaker apparently has the same piece as the imate jam and is therefore interchangeable..
The mini speaker can be made louder by upgrading the rom
i also have front speaker defekt, i bought new one for nokia 6610, the same has ngage and some other
it is the same speaker as in our mda compact, it works without problem!
arek
sometimes my i-mate jam loses system sounds from main speaker especially when headphones are attached and then detached. it means that it doesn't ring when somebldy calls me, or it doesn't play music from main speaker, though I still can speak and hear from phone speaker. when the headphones are returned to the place everything seems to be ok, soft reset doesn't help. this is the second jam with the same problem among my friends, please help!
i think this has been discussed b4..it has to do with the fragile audio port on your mini..apparently the contacts not too good so when you remove the headset, the JAM still thinks you have it on.
i tried fiddling with the audio jack and the headset a lot.. i don't have any sound on my speakers since over a week now...i can talk properly - and have set it for vibrate..hard reset also didn't work...

thanks, I heared something about that but could not find the topic. so what can be done to get rid of the problem without going to service? is there something I can do myself?
or is there a possibility that devices mady under other brands will function better? i have a chance to exchange my i-mate for brand new mda compact with little cash on it. i realise that this is the same device, but may be some difference in quality?
ihave just read a thread about this problem. they say insert your headphone jack then remove it quickly. ive never experienced this problem yet with my imate new jam. hope not
Try flicking the ear-piece area with your finger. Had to do this to my wife's mini when she dropped it both times. It seems the speaker looses contact when bumped. HTH.
I have noticed a lot of thread stating problems with the speaker on the JAMin, usually having something to do with the headphone jack.
Has anybody with a Qtek S200 had this problem. So far it seems to be contained to the JAMin only. However since they are essentially the same device it makes me wonder if the S200 or Dopod 818 will have the same fate.
defective speaker imate JAMin
my imate jamin has the same problem...
the external speaker stopped working the very first I used the head phones...now the phone does not ring ....the rcorded notes cannot be heard....I have no audio whatsoever...i'll take any help to solve this peoblem
My S200 has a lot of static/hizz/other noices. And even during standby it has a high-pitched tone that also is present during calls. It does end sometimes during longer calls though.
I'm NOT impressed by the sound quality. Even my party/hiking/backup-phone (nokia 6210) has better sound quality than my brand spanking new S200 that costs approx 15-20 times more than my crappy old 6210.

Atom has lots of problem
Atom speaker problem is one the problems that atom has. Is it atom or atom exec? I just dumped my atom because the biggest problem that I was facing was the echo at the other end during the phone call. Now I have switched over to Atom Zinc, which I have been using for last 2 months. I had upgraded my rom till the latest, no use..

i got same problem with my first Atom. the only solve is changing u,r main board. send it to service center
is there something which we can do about it i mean speaker change
or any hardware manual so that i can replace the speaker or any tweaks
Please reply
Leox
It's not the speaker itself. It can't add eny echo, it will only play what the sound chip sends to it. So there's no use in changing anything else than the sound chip, which on a regular computer would mean a 10 dollar sound card upgrade. On a PDA it's a full motherboard change, though.
Mastiff u r rite. i,ve go thru it.

hi,
i had the same problem with my ATOM.
if you can listen to music with your earphones and it is sound OK then the electronics probably OK, and the problem is with the speakers!
i replaced the 2 speakers myself and know it is OK.
If you are out of warranty, then you can consider replacing the speakers on your own – not so difficult job. You can order them on e-bay.
