Hi, I am having trouble with my Jasjar and it is really affecting me! The problem is that when I am talking over the phone the person on the other side complains that they can't listen to all the things I say, they loose about 1 of 15 words I speak. I have tried using this on many coverage areas, different hours, with Bluetooth and WiFi turned off, etc... I am have installed and tested on my device the shipped ROM and the ROM version 1.13.53 with Radio 1.03.01 Ext ROM version 1.13.137. (I can't try any other ROM because they will cancel my warranty if I do so) I took it to a Support Center of my Mobile Phone Service Provider (Telcel in Mexico) and they tried with other SIM cards (other phone lines and 3.0, 3.5 Volts version) that didn't helped, they told me to use it in the Band PCS1900 and that also didn't fixed it.
So I want to know if my Jasjar is deffective or if this is a well known issue that will be fixed in the next Jasjar ROM Upgrade or that Microsoft will fix for the Windows Mobile 2005 AKU2, or if this issue will never be fixed for this device. Or of my device is faulty?
It has done this since I bought it from Expansys.
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance!

Microphone AGC
Try enabling the Microphone AGC in the Settings > System menu. It May help. If it is already enable then try disabling it and see if it make any difference.
Thank you, yes I already tried this Enabled and Dissabled, it also didn't helped :?
Anyway I think this setting only affects when you are Recording a note or something.

the mic of the universal is to the left of the instrument. try and flip the instrument so you can talk into the mic. Just ensure you keep track where the mic is when speaking, i think that should slove the problem.
Yes, thank you zillocx I tried that the first 2 days when people started complaining that they were loosing some of the words I speak, I thought I needed more time to get used to the Jasjar, but after 2 weeks I have convinced myself that this is some kind of bug or something?
I have already tried using a Bluetooth headset (Nokia HS-11W) and is the same thing. I think they listen to me clearly when I am not using it since my Mobile Phone Provider changed my SIM card for a 3 Volts version.
This is weird and I don't want to return this unit because I have always encouraged people to get devices like the Jasjar instead of their normal phones and a PDA, but now they are proving me wrong!
SOLVED!
Hi, after many months and sending my Jasjar back to warranty without success of getting my problem solved...
I finally have 2 solutions for it:
1) With a Tested and Approved ROM from i-mate-> Rom version: 1.13.53
Radio version: 1.03.01 and ExtROM version: 1.13.137
I managed to solve this problem if I change my carrier, here in Mexico 2 companies offer GSM (Telcel and Movistar) if I connect to Movistar the problem dissapears, but they have few antennas.
2) With the new i-mate Test ROM version: 1.30.68 WWE
Radio: 1.09.00 and ExtROM: 1.30.153 WWE
The problem is solved without changing to another carrier! But! If I install Microsoft’s .net Compact Framework 2.0 the problem returns.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Is anybody is reading this?
Hi, well let me update you and tell you what I have found. I changed from Carrier and everything is working fine now, but yesterday I decided to open my Jasjar to see if there is any chance of improving the original antenna, I opened my device with the HTC Service Manual (There is a copy on the FTP). To my surprise I discovered that the Universal has 3 atennas for the GSM/UMTS Service (I don't know what is the purpose of each one), and my Jasjar is missing one of them!!!! :shock: And a conductive tape (are they really important???)
I couldn't believe it because my Jasjar was returned to warranty at Dubai, they changed the motherboard but they didn't realized that it was missing one antenna! Are they blind????? Maybe they are opening devices very cool with their sunglasses on 8) !!!!!!! :evil:
So I decided to make an antenna for it with the antenna of a Motorola phone I used, and my Jasjar worked perfectly with my past carrier (I haven't been able to cancel the contract so I am paying 2 contracts thanks to i-mate :evil: )
So my question is do anyone of you knows the purpose of each antenna?
What should I do, should I contact i-mate and tell them they are blind and that I will sew them because of all I have been through?
Thank you very much and I hope this time you will help me guys!
Here are the pictures:
Not sure why there are 3 antenea but I can gaurentee that they will declare warranty void as soon as you say you've been poking around with it. Is it not possible to make an aeriel? By the way the conductive tape justs looks like a screening shield which could be replicated with some aluminium foil.
3 Antenna maybe because,...
Bluetooth,
WiFi,
GSM??

Ithing the missing one is GSM antena ... because wifi antena is locator on the side of your device
GSM Antenna
Yes you are right guys, it is definitely a GSM Antenna, I think it handles the outgoing data on a call (my voice), but only on some types of networks, because with my current operator (Movistar) it doesn't matter the missing antenna, the other person can hear me crystal clear, but no on the Telcel network. I think Telcel network is older, maybe I-mate just "deprecated" this part of the antenna, haha.
I know that I shouldn't have opened my device, but I knew something was interfering my GSM antenna, I thought maybe the wifi and the gsm antenna were very close on my Jasjar and that's why I was having this problems.
I will try to contact I-mate and ask them for the antenna, I hope they at least apologize, because had a lot of problems because of this little piece of metal!!!
I will keep you updated...

DUDE!!! YOU ARE THE MAN!! People have been complaining about me not receiving calls, so I finally started to investigate and after a long search stumbled across this post!! I opened mine up and bingo, I am missing this antenna as well.
I'm going to try to fabricate a replacement and see if things go better. Someone ought to pin this post or put it somewhere obvious as this is a big find!!
Thanks again dude!
UPDATE:
OK... I've been trying to fabricate a new antenna using some sheet aluminum, but it is too flimsy to keep the contact. Also bloody hard to cut to the right size (took me four attempts) and finally succeeded size-wise after measuring with a micrometer.
Can anyone please suggest an alternative? Is there a place to get a replacement antenna with all 3 in place?
New Antenna, no help...
I managed to make a more sturdy antenna using pop can metal. I ensured that the contacts were actually conductive and placed it in. However, I don't see a noticeable improvement in signal strength.
May I suggest that the 3 antenna's are for EGSM (900), DCS1800 and PCS1900? Presumably, that would also explain the different sizes in the plates...I'd say the largest one is 900, the second largest is 1800 and the smallest is 1900.
The GSM mode sets EGSM and DCS1800 which are the modes I used. The second largest antenna is the one that appears to be missing. I'm going to try service on PCS1900, but I don't think my carrier uses it.
Still looking for an OEM antenna if anyone can direct me there.
first of all i am sorry to start a thread with a problem
i looked the forum w/o similar problem to this (please correct me if im wrong)
i plead to you developers to help me ,im stuck, depressed, and angry from my cruise
here it is :
i have touch cruise that i bought 1 month ago ( ONE MONTH, DAMN!!)
FIRST IT WORKED fine for few days , then the bigbang:
when i have (H) OR (3G) IN RADIO : no calls at all, its like phone is off, everytime i try to call ,the call end and then bleebed twice (end call tone)
cannot receive call either?? ( yes, HSPDA OR 3G is enabeld,, and band settings are set to auto)
when i disable hspda or 3g ( or set band to (gsm only) ,it works fine with G, E, or standard gsm
but not 3G ( NOW FEELING MORE DEPRESSED).
i cannot connect to internet : even in G,E,OR standard gsm
it says : connected, ---> connecting---> opening ,,,,then it get STUCK in 1 kb or 2 kb for ever-----( shows 1st line or two in google page but no more) then an error message ( there seem to be aproblem with your connection,,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH).
- I TRIED AUTOCONFIGURATION AND MANUAL TOO, NO USE ( not a settings or configurations problem)
- note : i tried my chip on my nokia 6680 and it is working like a charm ( internit, 3g, everything) ( not a chip or service problem)
- my friends ( have o2 life and touch dual ) have exactly the same settings and connecting from exactly the same place and service with no problems
- tried to move from area to area (even city ??????<--- desperate huh?)
with no use.
- THEN: I GOT EVIL : flashed new rom (bebe .67) - thanks btw- and newest radio for touch( cant remember the name ( 61 something, but was the best reviwed one)---> guess what?--> no useeeee
tried murata radio --------> you know what. ( by the way the reception strenght is exellant, thats not the problem)
flashed mobiz room ----> suicidal feelings ( yes ,no use)
flaSHED udk ----> nothing, natta
still stuck
returned to original radio---> its like cruise is telling me : GIVE UP DUDE, WHAT ARE U ,NUTS? IM NOT DIONG IT ,OK.
-before that i did dozens of hardreset, softreset ( almost every day or two)
pleeeeeaaase guys u r my only hope ,before i crash my cruise ( i mean it)
- i am ready to pay ( or donate)if necessary ( just tell me how, paypal not supported in my place , just give me another way and ill do it ,
i got sick of this
my brother makes fun of me : pocket pc huh? with no 3g or internet CAVEMAN?
again , sorry for long thread, sorry if misplaced,
thank you in advance
3G H network problem
I upgraded to radio 1.64.08.21 a month ago. Everything works fine for a month, till friday. Saturday my phone was off and I used gps for 40 min. Sunday start problems: I can use phone only in gsm band, in this way I can connect in edge or gprs and make calls, otherwise not call are allowed (two bips and the call is terminated) and no data connection! I have a dualsim adapeter, but with another sim card same problem! I try murata rom but no luck. Same issue! One more thing: saturday my battery was drained to zero, if it means something!
Nobody help us? Do We need to give our TC to htc assistence!?!?!
(I made this post also in all polaris radio)

allanon? you r speaking my mind
this is exactly the same problem
i hope someone will help us soon
and yes, i dont want any help from those htc support , all they are good at is repeating your words like parrots
I suggest to put the original ROM and RADIO and after that the original SPL ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1962153&postcount=79 ) and go with it to warranty... if you changed so many roms it means it is not a software problem i think.
Did you took out the battery and put it back in?
downgrade..
downgrade your radio rom to Murata (1.58.21.23)..
don't forget to backup your data, because Murata Radio does hardreset after downgrade..
3G H network problem
I tried Murata and original 1.58.21.23 rom, no luck! I read something related to the sim holder: It could be the cause of our nightmares! In fact I have a dual sim switching two sim, both 3G. The first day I buy polaris it works well switching from first sim to second and viceversa. The second day it doesn't works anymore. I can switch sim only after a soft reset for one times and after first switch only second sim works. Thinking an incopatible dual sim holder I buy another one where the manufacturer say good for the cruise: same result!!!
Now, after the network problem the sim switch without problem!?!? I think is an hardware issue...
P.S. I have changed only radio, Rom is the original italian!
thanks all for replies

My tc now is sended back to assistence. Mine worked well more than 2 months without problem, then it died! Mystery of technology i guess.... I'll notice you when it's back!
@al_assiri2000
Search the forums for the 3G bug.
The problem occurs (according to the many reports I see here and in other forums) also with other units (like the Kaiser/TyTN II).
I had the problem myself with a Kaiser and they final solution was a change of the mainboard (on which occasion I returned the unit for refund because the mainboards were out of stock and a delay of weeks was announced).
The symptoms you describe point exactly to this problem.
Hardware problem...

Hi! So did somebody solve the problem finaly? Who manage to get device back fexed and what was the exact problem? I got the same problem with my O2 - mostly same I can tell... Cause in my case just EDGE and GPRS does not work - and it conserns just one operator.... Other opererator's sim cards work properly.... Changing sim cards of my own operator one to another does'n help.
Can somebody confirm that changing simcard base will solve the problem?
forget to telll
Just want to add that problem with my O2 occured in several weeks of using and I didn't change any settings and flashing rom or radio befor - so I think this is hardware.....
I just sent my polaris to warranty ( cellecom)---> pronounced : silly - come!!
im waiting now
im calling daily , they even know my voice now
hope to get my polaris soon .
i will post the updates as soon as i get it
thanks again to all of you guys
from all the replies : this is clearly a hardware glitch
at least i know what to do now--- waiting

from other replies , i think the problem is more than just an sim base
it has something to do with mainboard ( very poor quality hardware )- i think some one said (belguim company)
your best choice is to use ur warranty ASAP. ---> dont forget to put back ur original rom and radio and lock device back
good luck
I finally gave up and sent mine back to htc
they said it was the main board. they said that they would send back to me 3 to 5 days after they receive it. it took over 2 weeks but when all said and done it works great now and they did say they had to replace the main board. i sent it in right after the murata was discovered. I really wish i could have tried it to see if it would have fixed the problem. but anyways I have a new board to break now hehehe
I Bought My Touch HD last month from QATAR, after two days I discovered that while making a call and after a while ( 2 to 5 minutes) the other party will start to complain that he cant hear my voice while I still can hear him clearly, and then after a while the sound will return to normal and he will be able to hear me clearly again !!!! this is repeated every 2 to 5 minutes during the call !!!!
I went to the dealer and exchanged the device with a new one, what surprised me is I encountered the same problem again after one week and I dont know what to do !!!!! I am currently visiting the family in the states and still have the same problem on T Mobile using a local SIM Card !!!
PLease help, does anybody have the same problem ? please advice
ROM Version 1.14.488.3 (22273) WWE

Maybe a problem with the other side of the line?
i've been talking once 1,5hours straight with no problems at all
HI,
Thank you for the reply, but I've been calling alot of people and most of them report the same problem !!! May I know what is your ROM version !!!
Thanx
PLeas help, any ideas ?
Yes, I have the same problem too. This is getting frustrating.
Hope someone can to the right direction on how to solve this. Thanks.
ROM : 1.18.723.2 (23358) WWE
ROM Date : 11/20/08
Radio version : 1.09.25.14
I bought mine from Qatar, now I updated to ROM 1.19 Black Pearl by Pinosha and still testing as the problem sometimes dissapear and then comes back after few days and lasts for a long time !!! but I have noticed that no body is interested in this problem !!! maybe we are the only people that have it !!!
when i got my new phone i got a new simcard that better supported the 3G functions than my 5year old one.
I had a couple of times people couldn't hear me..
I thought it was caused by the way I was holding the device. The Mic is on the bottom end the phone.. I sometimes put my finger on the mic.
Next time when it occurs again.. check you're not blocking the mic with you finger..
Hope it's as simple as that for you as well.
Regards.
try setting the cellular network on GSM only on the phone, when the reception is bad and 3G doesnt work, i think you have these kind of problems when you are in a call...
just disable 3G
I will try it, thamks
In most cases it is due to people closing the mic with their finger when talking..the mic hole is placed in a bad position...
Same problem for me but i think i have the reason why. I think the change to 3G or EDGE when in call is the problem. I have this problem everytime when i get a new mail. Is that possible? And how to fix it? :confused
Same when i load the wether while in call....
Maybe this is the problem, but my device sometimes connect via Edge and I dont know why and when i disconnect it, it will connect again !!! I dont know how to stop the data connection and prevent the device from auto connection !! I want to disable all data connection and keep the MMS working only !!!
Any help on how to disable data connection and keep the MMS working !!!
I live in the US and use my HD on Tmobile and dont have 3G, only Edge is working !
Hi All,
I am new to this forum, however was using my HTC Elf for the past one year. All of sudden I started facing problem in making or taking calls. The Network on the screen remain full and complete still I am unable to make calls (i.e. the call drops, cannot be completed) or can't recieve the calls (i.e. caller gets my cell unavailable or switched off). This doesn't mean it happens always. Coincidently the calls are through without any problem at one go. The Authorized Service center at my city told me there was the problem with it's Network IC (I really don't know what's that) and he suggested me to sell of the phone asap. My cell is out of warranty so can't really offord to replace the mother board. I have upgraded the Radio ROM but is of no use.
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Many Thanks.
Which network are you on?
Do your friends face the same drop calls issue too?
Have you tried hard reseting it?
Please backup before hard reset.
HI Jeremy,
here in India I am on Airtel Network and no one face the drop call issues. This is absolutely the phone problem as the same SIM card works perfect in other phone. I had unlocked my phone, upgraded the Radio ROM and hard reset it, but the problem still persist.

Oh.
Mmm, I think the motherboard inside the phone has issues than.
You have tried all ways to clear the phone?
Have you tried other ROMS?
This issue seems to be popping up quite a bit recently. Or maybe that I've just started noticing it since I started having the same problem.
Yes Jeremy. I have tried all the versions of ROMs. And infact other simcard also act same in my phone. Even I believe that motherboard has some issue. The Service center had told me the "Network IC" problem (though I didn't believe that) and to replace the motherboard (without warranty) would cost me 70% of the handset cost.
No point repairing motherboard, must as well get a new windows mobile phone.
So yeah.
I ran out of ideas already.
The only thing I can help you with is to, backup all your contacts to Google Sync, get a new iPhone or O2, than use that same protocol to transfer your contacts and calender data and mails to your new phone.
Cheers.
I am having a problem with my HTC Touch P3450 phone for the past 2 weeks. Although the GSM signal looks good, I am not able to make/receive calls. I am on "Phone" mode (not Flight Mode or similar). Everything else (WiFi, programs etc.) works fine.
My operator is Turkcell and I live in Istanbul, Turkey. The phone was purchased from the United States.
I have done a ROM update to ROM version 1.17.707.2B WWE but the problem still exists.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem? I suspect that this issue has something to do with the 3G upgrading process going on in Turkey.
Can you try to use your friend's sim card and see whether it works.
Is it something like a dropped call?
I tried two different SIM cards, one with my operator and one with another operator. I am still having the same problem.
The problem is that I cannot make any calls at all, rather than dropped calls.
Also I cannot take any calls, when I call myself from another phone it goes to voice mail as if the phone is turned off.
I guess it is a hardware problem then.

bsnl sim not working
Hello there.....
I am from Bangalore,India. i was using BSNL SIM for 2years. suddenly one day the Sim was dead. i thought sim problem so replaced 2 times after that got AIRTEL Sim. now its working fine. the problem is with 2 or 3 carrier operators. STRANGE!!!!!!!!
i have this problem too nobody to help pelease
tanx
please some one help me.....
I have been investigating this issue on and off for a few months now on one of my elf’s. I originally bought this phone off eBay to test stuff, and found no signal was being received when I got it. The auction did say this so fine. Checkmend says it is not blocked in any country, and is not stolen etc. Therefore, it is definitely something on the phone opposed to networks.
The phone can pick up signal, it noes networks exists, and can identify them, however, when registered and "connected" it does not pick up messages, and when I try to make a phone call the signal completely drops.
I like others have tried many roms. I have even tried every signal radio. I have also tried 6 different working Sims across a number of operators.
Basically, I think this issue is hardware, I mean, there really isn't anything else that I can think off. I have done some reading, and I *think* it may be down to the PA chips. There are 2 off these in the phone, one for Radio signal, and the other for Bluetooth, and wifi. (I think that is it).
These are located just above the battery on the back of the circuit board from what I can see, protected by 2 parts. One removable (two top screws - also contains the speaker) and one fixed into the middle part of the body.
I've done some playing, and it seems may be easy to break, either by dropping the phone, or even possibly by something as little as keeping the phone in a pocket and sitting on it.
I am not sure where I can go from here. I may need to investigate this further, but it is looking like it is going to be a dead end, considering I am not able to BGA solder to replace it, and expect the cost in doing so outweighs buying a new phone. I'm going to look into signal amplifiers, and see if I can find one that’s not just a piece of tin foil, and actually works. It will be interesting to see if that will improve the signal far enough for the phone to be usable once again. I may even just try with some kitchen foil, or by plugging in an external aerial (which I do not have yet, and may be costly, and therefore no point). If the external aerial works, I guess the chip could only be damaged, and not able to get enough strength itself.
This is only a theory on what I think is wrong with my Phone, and may be different to what everyone else’s is. But i thought I should put it out, to see if anyone else is able to confirm/kill my idea. It is a theory after all, they are made to be proven!
If anyone else has any ideas, feel free to pitch them, I like hearing what others are thinking, and it may be possible, although I admit very unlikely, that we could find a resolution to this issue!

@ashkan62 , can you provide a detailed problem please, this may give me something more to look at that I have missed.
wow. that's really informative. I've done upgrading radio roms too and even the spl. but nothing happened. hope your investigation on this works. thanks for the info.
or how about upgrading the o.s.? did someone tried that? coz I'm planning to upgrade my elf wm6.1 to wm6.5 and onyx 4 to onyx 6. would that work? what do you think?

I think it can't harm to try, be sure to follow the right procedure.
Yeah. I'll try to do the upgrade this week. I'll inform you if anything happens. (like bricking my phone. )
