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 :

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

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.
Hi. I recently upgraded my dopod 838 with the following rom
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.exe
because I was having problems with my stylus alignment(it kept screwing up atleast 20 times a day).
The phone worked well.. incoming calls and out going calls and media player...
after using media player, I could no longer get sound out of my phone.. All my calls were going through but I nor the person on other side could hear anything..
My phone rings to incoming calls but thats about... no sound otherwise.
I got the original dopod 838 rom
RUU_Wizard_1031305_116_11210_DopodAsia_WWE_Ship
from their site www.dopodasia.com but this rom didn't revive the sound either...
Other roms i tried were:
CUSTOM_RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe
Dopod_838_CHT_RUU.exe
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
..no sound
Can I change a registry entry or something? or anything?? please help me.. I'm desperate!

Hi guys,
since I saw some users from India, I thought of asking you some questions. I am planning to buy a Qtek9100 or Kjam. Just wanted to know, if there are any service centers in India, preferably Mumbai or Bangalore ?
Also, any feedback using these phones will be appreciated.
I mean to say when I connect headphone to my phone..everthing seems good and easy sound and music comes fro m headphone..but as I get incoming call..sound comes from phone speaker as well as from headphone at a time and when call disconnects after that wen I play music..sound comes from headphone as well as phone speaker!person who has wear headphone can also listen music n person who didn't wear headphone can also listen music ! same way wen call comes person who wears headphone can listen voice of person who is on other hand as well as person who didn't wear headphone can also listen voice of person who is on other hand through speaker!! voice is coming from both ways at a time! I hope everyone would understood what I mean to say! its problem with 3.3 rom not with others!
This problem is just occuring in aku 3.3 rom...beside this rom is very good i like everything but this sound problem is very irritating....
pls help me ...will b very thankful to members and moderator (faria)
Might be a hardware problem but have you tried to reflash with crossbow or flash with a different rom to see if its the rom
(it will stop the problem if its crossbow) or if it continues with the other rom that means its your headphone jack.
I would flash it to the original rom it had if its possible or another rom that you have tried
I dont know if feria will tell you something about you making a new account
but at least you could of used a way different name.
its problem with 3.3 rom....others rom work perfectly!!sound problem comes when I install 3.3 rom! with other rom its not problem!! headphone is abs fine n its nt hardware probs!
If you are using the AKU 3.3 ROM, you are not using Crossbow, that ROM simply had Crossbow icons, and sounds.
You are only using WM5
Do you mean that the sound (music and ringer) come out of the speakers while the phone is ringing or does the music continue to play through the speakers after the phone stops ringing? If it's the second one then I don't know what's wrong however, the first is normal but there's a registry hack to change it. I recommend searching for it I'll look too but it's been a while it'll be hard to find...
EDIT: It wasn't as hard to find as I thought. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261351

I understand what you mean but I'm using the same ROM and I just tried to replicate the problem and can't. By the way the AKU 3.3 ROM isn't WM6 it just uses some enhancements from WM6. It's still a WM5 ROM. Anyway this problem seems to be a bit beyond me I hope someone is able to help you.

yea me too recived file from this thread!!
The fix is nice, but I won't install it. Actually I really like the current setup. No sound for clicking menu, but beep when alert windows pop up. In WM5, you have to get both or none, I am looking for this scheme for a long time.
MMS on WM6 Crossbow

WHAT WHERE I MUST DO??? (step by step please)
Yes that is the right one! That is the one i check and my MMS worked. that drop down menu should have the MMS sever as one of the choices. if so select it.
I just got my Touch HD some days ago, and i tried to connect it via bluetooth to my Audi MMI. It somehow connects, even if the MMI said the connection is not established. However, it doesnt read any of my contacts. The phone i used before HD was an HP Ipaq Voice Messenger, everything worked smoothely, all contacts were read. Any ideas how to solve it?

Hi...
What soft did you install?
Did you use any of th tweak apps??
Iosu
There are lots of bluetooth problems with paring have a search around - one thread is called bluetooth problems
The fact you got it working on your Ipaq would prove the problem lies with the Touch HD.
However, which MMI system do you have?
I'm not sure if the HD is in the list of compatible devices with Audi's MMI.
Although this link applies to the Nokia phone you will be able to glean some info from the items mentioned.

I've got the Advanced MMI, on a Q7.
Right now, i can use it with my car, the only inconevience is that , since the MMI does not a fully established connection with my HD, it doesnt read my contacts list, so i cant see who is calling me. Other then that, all functions are working ok. No disconections.
I've installed only the TweakHD, played a bit with the Bluetooth options, none of them worked.
contact problem with MMI audi can be fixed when installing JetBTHFExt-1.31.CAB

Ive installed it, works a bit better, reads incoming and outgoing calls, but doesnt read contacts.

thats strange....?? at first my brothers touch hd was like mine, dutch 1.14. For me there was no problem at all with my parrot 3100 but my brother got his new audi last week, and didn't get the contact list to MMI with his hd. Then he tried with JetBTHFExt-1.31.CAB, this worked for about three days till one moment when scrolling threw his phonebook it got stuck and freezed, since then still the same problem as before. Then i flashed his phone from dutch to WWE the version 1.19, we went right out to his car and pared with MMI and phone contacts came wright on. maybe there are also different software versions from one MMI to another....??? just a tought?????
greetz
Probably... i've got an advanced MMI on a Q7. I;ve called the Audi dealer, they claim i have the latest software available...
don't know if my brothers system is also advanced but he has an S3. I'll ask him this afternoon.
just called my brother and his system in the S3 is also advanced system....
You can try also to delete all incomming, outgoing and missed calls on your HD and then reconnect to MMI, he also told me that when phonebook does not comme wright away but connection to MMI is live, he makes a quick call to voicemail or any other number and hangs up wright after. then his contacts got loaded....
greetz
I had some bluetooth problems when connecting my Touch HD to my Volvo S80. It would connect and generally work OK, but when I had more than 10 incoming or outgoing calls the bluetooth set integrated in my car would just say 'Retrieving information' indefinetly.
I installed the JetWare mobile (www.jetwaremobile.com), and limited the number of incoming/outgoing calls to 10 and it started to work OK.
Perhaps this is the way to go...

- There are still some connection problems with Audi systems
I've upgraded the software on MMI to the latest version, i have same problem with my HD. Can't read the agenda.
I upgraded my Vodafone HD2 to Rom 1.66 this week and have noticed many improvements, however the phone is now not operating correctly with my Range Rover.
When I select a number to dial from the phone book the radio is not cut off when dialling. The phone shows dialling then connected but neither party can hear each other when the call is connected.
My phone and the car both worked Ok on the Vodafone stock ROM. I have also connected it to a BMW idrive and as previously 1.66 still works for this.
I have now had a response from HTC re this issue. It looks like this is a 1.66 issue that was working on the Vodafone 1.43 ROM. I now cannot make or receive calls in the car!
New Response From [ Richard (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]
Dear customer,
HTC knows about this issue, and we are working to build the hot fix to the bluetooth connection with the car kit. At the moment, HTC does not have any informatiuon when this will be available to download from HTC web site. We recommend to the customers to keep monitoring the web site for future updates.

I think I will wait for a solution rather than going back. 1.66 allows me to compile text messages and emails in under 5 minutes and makes the phone finally usable!
if you find a solution please post it here, because i am desperatly looking for an answer
I am mystified! I drove the Range Rover today for the first time in a month and the phone rang. Call was OK and afterwards made other calls.
Other than delete the call register I can think of nothing else I have changed or done on the HD2 to make this work.

Similar kind of Bluetooth issues on Ford In-Car bluetooth
I have a similar issue with my phone not disconnecting from a call.. (ok not similar but a bluetooth issue nonetheless) with Ford Covers+
seems to be hit or miss whether it disconnects.. i have to literally soft reset the phone and sometimes soft reset my car to get it working again!!
would be interesting when HTC send this FIX out..

well my phone is a Toshiba TG01 so it might not be HTC issue, but WM 6.5
I think I am onto something here:
if the BT is switched on after I start the car, everything works perfect!
the only inconvinience now is switching BT on/off for each jorney (especially annoying during short trips with short stops - to the local shop, post office etc)
