Thiss is the ROM of my Qtek:
ROM: 1.66.00WWE
DATE: 02/20/04
RADIO: 1.10.00
PROTOCOL: 1337.18
ExtROM: 1.66.130
I am looking for a headset that correctly works and which causes no conflicts with the Emtac Crux BT GPS receiver.
First I was intend to buy a Logitech, but I read on a dutch forum that it doesn't work fine with this ROM-version.
BTW - can I DOWNgrade a ROM ???? I dn't think so...
So, now I thougt to buy a Sony/Ericson HBH-30 or HBH-35 ???
Would this be a lucky combination ????
Hi mvb95,
I use the 172 beta ROM with an Emtac Bluetooth GPS and a Logitech bluetooth headset. No problems at all. I can Navigate using TomTom and call at the same time. TomTom will mute when I'm using the phone and will be unmuted when the phonecall has ended.
This has been working with the 160 ROM also and with an Bluetrek G2 headset and a Nokia HDW2 headset with the same GPS receiver.
The problems on thread on the Dutch site are strange and I can't reproduce them.
Hope this helps your decision.

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
I have recently purchased a Parrot CK3000 and a new MDA compact on T-Mobile.
At first all was fine, but after a couple of days, when you get into the car, the MDA would pair up with the Parrot but then take over the car kit as though a call is in progress. The stereo displays CALL and the music is muted. The only way to reset it is to turn the carkit off and back on again as well as the MDA.
I have hard reset the phone and the problem comes back after a coupld of pair ups.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a fix.
I have tested the carkit with a Nokia 6310 and it is fine, so I'm sure the problem is with the MDA compact.
I have :
Rom version 1.12.00 WWE
ROM date : 05/28/05
Radio version : 1.12.00
Protocol : 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.12.152 WWE
I noticed that Radio version 1.13.00 is out, but does this have anything to do with Bluetooth.
Parrot and T-Mobile tech support have had no luck fixing the problem.
Any help greatfully received ?
Thanks
Richard
Hi,
I have excactly the same configuration as you. I have ROM 1.12.01! Which Firmwareversion is your CK3000?
I have 1.13. The only problem with this version is a short heavy noise if i make a call. If your problem still exist after firmwareupgrade of your mda,
try to reset your CK3000 (press green and red button for few seconds)
and pair again.
Regards Yoshi
Thanks, I've just upgraded the MDA compact to Rom V1.13.00 WWE and radio 1.13.
I'll let you know if it fixes it.
Hi,
I'm running the O2 Exec with an Anycom SBH100, excellent pairing with one HUGE issue.
If the headeset is not paired I'm unable to hear anything in normal phone useage!
Damn that's frustrating, I spent ages getting this to work with my headset and now it wont work without it. :?:
Jasjar ROM 1.30.76WWE

I'm not entirely sure who's A2DP patch I've installed now, to many trial and c*ck up's..
But I do have Zoki A2DP to uninstall.
I hope someone can put me out of my misery here.
When paired with my PC I can simply alter the audio back to the sound card, and it's the same thing I need to do with the PDA, I think.

Hi All
First post here so please take it easy on me...
I have a small problem with my O2 Xda Exec and the Land Rover BT car kit. Basically the quality is really poor, sounds like I am in a tin box.
Before you all say that is exacly what a LR is I have tried my old SonyErricson and my wife's Nokia and the quality is superb, so I guess no probs with the car kit.
Do you guys have any ideas how to help?
I have swapped the phone out with O2 on several occasion for many different faults nothing has affected the quality.
Just installed Ivans Beta14 and I have MSVC1.6 running.
Seem to be OS 5.1.342(build 15605.3.2.0)
Rom Ver 2.50.00 WWE
Radio 1.09.00
Protocol 42.42.P8
No idea how to find the BT version
Any help greatly appreciated
Lee
