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
Edited:Sorry this was meant to be added to the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49298&start=0
These guys are the ones that helped me.
This is more directed for the newbies or less experienced needing a bit of reassurance that the Dopod ROM is fine to use.
My previous Orange ROM SPL was 2.10 and is now 2.15 (I think this is relevant according to what I've read on the above and other threads).
Just to reiterate other peoples experience; I've got a SPV M600 (Prophet) and used the NovendorID Dopod ROM found in this thread. It installed hassle free within less than 10 minutes and is definately somewhat snappier thn Oranges ROM.
I have also found that Wisbar Advance (an excellent skinning apllication- changes the look of your interface and gives you alternative control over your device) in conjunction with Omapclock and Omapclockplusv0.0.4 (overclocking utility- overclocked at 240 Mhz and running at 225 Mhz according to TCPMP!) works a treat!
My device now has no speed issues at all and after a few days of use seems very stable and reliable. Only drawback is that the Camera application seems to be inferior since the upgrade to Dopod, but still acceptable (hope a patch will be released if other have had this experience).
Using:
Windows Vista portable Edition (WA2 skin) see bottom of thread for e.g.
http://xcskins.50webs.com/ourwork.html (best skin IMHO)
TomTom Navigator (GPS software)
Omapclock(Overclocking utility for the processor)
Spb Backup (Good backup software)
4 GB SD card from MobyMemory (for all my software except Wisbar Advance- though it works well off the storage card) with no issues
Total Commander (to edit registry - changed the Windows bootscreen)
.....and lots more software with no issues at all.
Thanks to all those that made it possible for us all to benefit from it. :wink:
Incidentally, I used lokiwiz03 (get it at buzzdev.net) to Sim unlock my M600 before i did all other ROM upgrade and software installation.
HTC Prophet (was an Orange M600)
SIM unlocked (using Lokiwiz03 - now using o2 SIM)
ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: 2.15.13.121
Camera on Prophet OK on Dopod!!
Tested extensively since ROM upgrade and whilst there does appear to be a lag whilst in viewfinder mode and whilst taking indoor pictures, I must say that outdoor pictures are still excellent. So I personally don't think a camera patch is needed anymore to address picture quality, but it would be nice if something could be done about the blurry laggy viewfinder display.
dear all,
i am new to htc machines and pdas. i bought a used alpine (imate pda2) recently. it has an arabic enabled wm3 se
rom version: 1.111.00 wwe
rom date: 01/27/05
radio version: 1.03.00
protocol version 1337.42
ext rom version: 1.11.153
i have the folowing querries:
1. would changing the rom to wwe, non arabic, speed up the machine?
2. is a newer version of the rom available?
3. how do i install a backup os, like linnux on this machine?
4. should i stick to wm3 se, or is wm5 a better os? if so, will it work on this amchine and where can i get it?
5. after a long pause, say overnight, the machine takes a good about a minute to boot up, is that normal?
6. specs of the pda say that the battery has a standby time of 172 hrs, whereas the pda shows 182 min of time, adjusted, why the discrepancy?
7. lastly, the call duration shown on the machine is 28 min calls received, and 165433 min call outs. what is that?
if can get answers to these questions i will be grateful.

PDA2 Upgrade
i have da same system
PDA2
& i want to update it
1. maybe a bit as i believe that the arabic is a 3th party software running ontop of wm it use mem it would also use a bit of cpu power
if it would matter much i dont know
2 http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Alpine_ShippedOrg
3 http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux
4. no wm5 out for alpine
5. sounds like it had a hardreset
6. batt time is by no means a exact science nor is measuring it
or displaying it
7 sounds like a bug i would use search for "clear AND calllog" or something to see if there is a way to clear it
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
Hello here !
Well ! I have a problem with my HTC universal (Qtek 9000) on phone function.
