[Q] Radio ROM or microphone problem?? - HD2 General

Hello,
My friends complain about my call quality. They tell me that my voice repetitively gets extremely silent, so inaudible they often ask back so I need to repeat myself multiple times which is weird and aggravating at some point.
I have an EU HD2 with radio 2.15.50.14 and Rafdroid HD 4.0.2 NAND + data2sd. I had this problem back while I was still using wm65 Energy ROMs or my own custom built wm65 ROM, so I'm 99% sure it's unrelated to the operating system.
BTW I'm on T-Mobile Hungary. Gonna try my phone with Vodafone too, just to narrow things down.
Oh, and no, I'm NOT covering the microphone with my hand. I always hold my phone in my right hand when calling.
Anyone else had a problem like this?
Thanks,
Jay

Bumpity bump?

If you had the issue with the Energy ROM and your current ROM plus you have the most current radio version installed it my just be a issue of bad service in your area. You could try down grading your radio starting with the radio under the one you have and systematicly work your way down from there with the radio versions to see if you can find one that works better in your area. Go to the HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread to get the radios.

Thanks for the tip! Will try that.

I have exactly the same issue on my HD2.
Radio 2.07.50.27_2
Energy ROM: Energy.Leo.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Dec.27
I think for me this is a hardware problem, but it occurs very randomly and usually sound is ok again after some seconds.
JayMore, did you find a solution?
I have had this problem for quite a while also on older Energy ROM (same radio), but I never called very much. Now it is getting worse or I make too much long calls and I'm ready to RMA.

Try using a different microSD card, since I've switched, nobody mentioned this problem. Sounds stupid enough to actually do the trick...

Help!!!
My HTC HD2 is giving me problems....everytime I receive a call the caller gets a echo of his/her voice.....is there anything I can do to fix that????

Same problem here.
Usually when people phone me. If I phone back it seems OK.
Gonna try and rollback to an earlier radio to see if that works.

So, big up to HTC for ONCE from me ... but radio?

OK, so for the first time ever in all the HTC phone's i've had, this is the FIRST one i'm truley impressed with. Fast, responsive and easy to use for an experience winmo person such as myself. I had a couple of lock-ups to start with but soon found the errant programs and removed them... back to the land of stability!
I can't help but notice though that I can sit here with a full signal and yet people can ring me and get sent to voice mail (as if I had no signal). This is sadly, a major flaw, if the only one I can find with the device.
Im running XannyTechs Rom - EVO Final 1.0.0.202, based on CE OS 5.2.28205 (23518.5.5.0) with Radio 2.05.51.05_2 and protocol 15.28.50.07U
Have you guys heard of this? Is this a common issue or just one i'm experiencing?
Thanks!!!
this has been mentioned before, you can update just the radio without affecting the installed rom. go read the radio roms sticky thread in rom development section.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I've just upgraded x.02 levels.... hope that solves my only issue. Wonder if it also solves the mildly irritating 3g data connection issue as well......?
Thanks!

Crackling distortion on calls

I recently got my HD2 from O2 UK.
Not content with the factory ROM, I began to enter the world of tasting different cooked ROMS. Soon also began trying different version of radio roms too.
I soon noticed my calls, my end only, began to get wierd crackling background noise. I first thought this was down to bad reception or caused by the other end. Making test calls, it appears to happen on my HD2 only during quiet parts of the call or when a sudden change in volume occurs e.g. start of a word. If I mute the far end, i.e. complete silence, then no crackling background is heard. Is like the noise is attributable to the auto gain control circuitry.
Doing a forum search I found others had the similar problem with crackling distortion but seem to attribute this to certain radio roms.
I've tried different radio roms to eliminate the problem without success. However I did notice some cooked roms didn't have this problem. After trying alot of different roms it seems like only cooked roms which support 576MB ram had the crackling distortion. For example, Miri wm65x_23529 which supports 576MB has this problem but not Artemis WWE 207_23529 which doesn't support 576MB. All WM6.5 roms (as opposed to WM6.5.x) don't have the noise problem either.
I would like to use a WM6.5.x cooked rom with 576MB ram but so far haven't found one yet.
Has anyone else found this too or know what's causing this?
Does anyone have any more info regarding this issue. I seem to be having the same problem. I'm using XannyTechROM Pandora 1.5 ROM with 2.08.50.08_2 RADIO. As first stated by the OP, I too have tried most of the other cooked roms which support 576MB ram, and so far I've had the same crackling distortion issue as described above.
What is interesting is that the OP is on O2 network and I'm on Orange; however, my friend who also has a HD2 is running exactly the same combination of radio and rom as myself, yet he's not experiencing any of the said issues what so ever! What could be causing this?
Any advice, ideas or input would be greatly appreciated!
Duart
I also have this crackling problem, but with original ROM. Haven't found any good solution jet.

Got a UK O2 HD2, currently on a 576MB cooked rom (see sig) and radio 2.07.50.27_2.
No issues at all with any aspect of calls. (or any other radio function), no crackle, no echo, good volume.
the crackling noise is one of the biggest problems on hd2. there exist a lot of threads about this. i also have this problem and it is really annoying!
at first everyone said it is a software failure but after testing different roms, radio rom versions and software i come to the conclusion that it is to 99% a hardware problem. even if the problem exists with headphone means that the hardware radio module has a malfunction! that's my theory...
anyway, i hope that it is just a software error which can be fixed. a lot of people already contacted htc with this problem but all they can say is:
"please make a hard reset..." or "we never heard of this problem"... that's a lie! i think they will gain some more time until warranty times expire
p.s: i have rtt shock rom rc3 and radio rom 2.07 installed, provider is o2 germany

Jepp i 100% second that !!! Seems to be problem with the radio module. Tried douzens of radio-rom combinations and the crackling is still there. Even hurts my ears when calling my girlfriend (female voices seem to make it even a bit worse). By the way: This is my third Device with this problem...
I don't think I can hear much crackling but do get a wavy distortion. It sounds like waves then a sudden stutter with no sound then the wave comes back.
I wonder if I need to install Rilphone.dll?
I heard somewhere when you flash a new radio you need to flash/re-flash the ROM after the radio flash for it to recognise the radio properly?
I will try out both when I get the time.
I had this issue with my unit in both phone earpiece and headphones.
It was a duff unit anyway (severe crashes and not booting up) and so i have another one coming tomorrow.
Will report back if the new one has it

The noise is so annoying to use as a phone now, it makes my old iPhone sounding like HiFi quality speaker.
Mine is only a few weeks old, maybe an idea to see if O2 would replace it as it seems a hardware related problem. Only problem is I don't have the distortion problem with the O2 rom to convince them with.
A couple of the radios had some really bad issues with sound quality. FWIW, I'm running 2.08.50.05_2 and I have no issues at the moment, but it seems to be different for you guys across the pond.
If you flash that and you still get bad sound quality, try flashing one of the 2.X.51.X radios. You won't have the extra RAM enabled - but what matters more, using your phone as a phone or some piddly ram?
And if that fails, I'd revert to one of the radios before these TMobile ROMs came out... they ARE geared for US networks and rev 3 of this brilliant phone...

doesn't help in our case... i had this issue with all radio roms. from the stock one of 1.48 (doesn't know the version), to 2.06, 2.07 and 2.08!
i thought of giving it back, but on the other hand i don't want to wait for weeks just to get a phone with the same problem and maybe more of them like bad screen alignment or a more ugly touchscreen behaviour.

One of the radios... 2.06? perhaps? I had some really bad sound quality. Went away after I flashed off to another one.
these improvements of sound quality depending on radio rom version have nothing to do with the problem i (and a lot of other people) have.
you have to talk to a woman with my phone. after that you should know the difference betwenn my problem and yours
maybe htc will release someday a small fix to filter the high frequencies but i'm not sure if this will be possible anyway.
i got my 2nd hd2 today and can confirm that this unit does not have the crackling. hardware issue imo

MY solution for crackling speaker... BUT...!

hi there. i made an interesting experience today:
i tested several roms to satisfy my needs while i always used radio rom 2.07. this was the best for me in battery life and sound quality... but like on all other radio roms i had the annoying cracks while i speak to my girlfriend (or every other woman).
some days ago i found the right rom for me: rtt shock rom rc7i german. i still tried to use radio rom 2.07 but there was a problem with it:
i can't hear the people talking on other side and my hd2 freezes when ending a call after that i gave one of the newest radio roms a try. it's 2.08... with a _02 at the end, and korean or chinese setup! my problems were gone.
but i gained another problem: the quality of calls was decreased - i have much more noise when talking to someone than with other roms. but what can i say:
i phoned several times with my girlfriend and all the cracklings are gone!!! i'm very happy and confident that there will be a radio rom and rom combination that will have no crackling and no noise.
maybe you just want to try out my combination (as there also exists a wwe version of rtt rom!) - but surely i can't promise that it also works for you! on the other hand you maybe share my confidence for next roms developed for our hd2!
thx for your attention!
p.s: excuse my english - as you can read above i'm from germany
radio 2.08 is optimised for T-Mobile USA and therefore some performance degredation can be expected in Europe. The poor call qaulity has made me go back to the 1.66 radio.
well i thought there will be more interest on this topic since there have a lot of people the crackling speaker issue!
but i'm not sure if i stick with the 2.08 radio, not because of the poor quality. it's the faster battery drain and the changes from hsdpa to GPRS even if i stay at the same place.
hopefully there will be a better radio soon!
even if nobody cares, i have to inform you that i found a good compromise
just installed radio rom 2.07.50.27_2. with it the battery drain is much better and call quality even has improved!
heard of a new radio rom 2.08.xx coming next week! it always can be better so i can't wait for it!
Have tried 2.07 and 2.08 radios and problem still there. I am just trying to live with it until a solution is found

Yeah but the fact is: I also tried this radio several times and the crackling didnt disappear. But it DID in combination with the RTT ROM. Dont have any clue why but there are some users in a german forum reporting the same... Maybe you want to give it a try... Do a FullBackup, flash RTTs ROM and the Radio... If it doesnt help go back and use your Full Backup. I dont know how annoyed you are of the crackling but this might solve it even for you
@Fruchtfliege: Taking it over from pocketpc.ch to the Devs huh? Good idea Always nice to meet the same people in different forums

i don't know if it works for everyone in combination with a different rom, but maybe i would give it a try. the main reason why i have posted here (and on other forums) is the fact, that it is possible to fix the crackling since i thought long time that it is a hardware issue (posted on different forums too )
But it DID in combination with the RTT ROM. Dont have any clue why but there are some users in a german forum reporting the same...

nice to hear that it is fixed for you too! i thought it only worked for me until now.
I've tried two separate ROM now with the 2.08 radio and the problem is still there. Guess we'll just have to wait for a radio optimised for the UK/Europe...

Telstra T9193 - Energy Rom [Radio]

Hi,
I've got a telstra T9193 and using the recomended energy radio 2.07.50.27_2 from:
http://www.energyroms.com/PostGraphics/Leo/Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2.rar
Energy.Leo.23563.Sense2.5.Cookie.HomeTab.Apr.23 is currently running.
I'm experiencing quick battery drainage with push activated, data always on.
The phone freezes, and have to remove the back cover to reset quite often. Screen freezes with backlight on, no buttons work.
The phone freezes just by browsing xda with IE. This is pretty frustrating when you'd think a simple train ride to or from work with browsing IE would just work. 45 minutes of browsing forums on the train will waste 20% of the battery [half of the browsing includes waiting for proper reception].
I don't have crap installed, and most apps are installed on storage card.
Cleanram and cleantemp don't seem to help with reducing suprising freezes.
CHT contact links on home screen ramdomly doesn't load/show contact pics when loading. Every reboot a different contact pic is hidden. Manila reset resolves it sometimes.
Arkswitch displays an error before manila loads so i've got it working as an app, and not from top taskbar.
I was thinking of maxsense but it looks ugly compared to CHT.

re telstra T9193 and radio
Hi there,
I am using T9193 in Sydney as well.
Actually, I have found that the 2.07.50.27_2 is the best radio so far. I have tried 2.08.50.08,2.08.50.05, 2.09, 2.10, and 2.11 as well. 2.07 give me the best reception/ battery and the sound is more natural compared to 2.11, which sounds like a robot with echo sometime.
I am using 19Jun10 energy rom, downloading 22Jun10 right now. From the update log, it seemed that 22Jun10 is a good bulid and with alot of people already tested and reported it's a good one.
So, a few check points to try to solve your myths.
1. Have you changed setting for auto backlight level? This eat up battery.
2. Have you applied 2100/850MHz fix? this is important if you're with telstra next G network.
3. err... that's all I can think of, but i would suggest you to stay with 2.07.
good luck mate!
hmm....
im on vodafone 900/2100..
backlight is on 65%. might try 22June =/ cbf recustomising to my liking..
I dn't think there alot of vodafone hd2 users in australia.. If there is give us some feedback on data speeds aswel.
Dude, for the ABSOLUTE BEST experience with your Telstra T9193 model HD2, I IMPLORE you to PLEASE flash ROM in the thread below! You will have NO issues I promise! Energy ROM's are OKAY at best, but he cooks too fast and... well I'll just say I prefer QUALITY over QUANTITY... at least in this case

I am on Vodafone and I use Dutty's HG with 2.10.50.26 radio and I have excellent data speeds and fairly good battery life. I am on a corporate plan for work and I have no problems. The latest radio 2.12xxx seems to give me poor battery life and 2.11xx is not too bad - but 2.10.50.26 seems best at the moment.

I have flashed quite a number of ROMS. This one uses a bit of juice but I find is quick and stable. I have had no issues with it whatsoever. It does not freeze.
I would consider:
1. Flashing Task 29
2. Flash either a fresh download of ENERGY CHT or consider flashing EVOLUTION.
Good luck

I'm mostly in sydney cbd with excellent reception max 200KB/s
yeah i'd like to know about this fix as well......not that i have any problems with energy rom and radio 2.12!
is there a cab that us telstra customers need to apply?
Here is the Telstra band cab.
Also, you'll find battery usage depends a LOT on your location...ie how good a signal you get. 2 people on the same ROM/radio can have very different results. If you are on the edge of a 3G network where the reception comesd and goes, you'll have higher battery usage as the phone keeps searching for a signal.
I'm on Telstra, and with my ROM I get several days usage.
If you're having freezing/other issues, I'd suggest you post in NRG's thread to request help.
I have also got this phone and am wih vodafone in melbourne and am using the 2.14.50.04 radio and this gives the best battery life so far, usually for 10 hours of standby I only loose 4%. I tried 2.15.50.14 the other day but the battery life isn't as good as 2.14. Thought I might mention this incase those people in Aus want to be kept up to date with their radio.

Hi, i know this is old, but its relevant.
Your issue is a faulty motherboard. Get it replaced under warranty. But do not send it to the Telstra Repair Centre, because they dont test it long enough to see the fault. Try Fonebiz in your state! Trust me, mine 2 HD2s went to Telstra Repair Centre twice and came back saying no fault found.
then within 10mins of leaving the store it would lock up.

Help with Telstra HD2 & Android

hey guys. ok ive searched and searched and gone through thread after thread to try and find a working android build for an AUSTRALIAN TELSTRA HD2.
im still using the phone on the telstra network and have yet to find a rom/radio/android combination that works.
so far most ones ive tried have the problems where i cant answer half of my calls since the screen was so moody or other ones the battery would drain in just a few hours.
i keep hearing that mdj's latest desire hd build is fantastic so if anyone has a good combination of a rom + radio + android build that would work for my hd2 then i will love you forever!!!
Hi,
I have a t9193 as well but first thing I did was flash a custom rom.
I am using Dutty's v9 on the windows mobile side and Mdeejay's 4.3 desire hd on the android side. It works fine but it needs a little time to get going. Also, you will need to set your apn info manually in Android so take note of it in windows. I am using the latest radio 2.15.50.14 without problems. T9193 is able to support most roms out there contrary to the t-mobile version.
Miri's v25 on htcpedia.com also works great.
Good luck.

alright ive put on that combination exactly and it still has a problem where sometimes it DOESNT come back from the black screen when locked. is there any fix for this as its been my main android problem since the beginning T-T
You need to change the radio rom to something that ends in .50. Telstra radio roms seem to end in .51. I use 2.15.50.14 and it seems to work ok.
I'm using MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.3_MDJ_S7.5HD with my wm being Cheetah Rom 3.14 base. I've been running this for a few days now and its pretty stable.
Good luck with your Android, gingerbread (Android 2.3), will probably be available soon too, waiting for that...
Cheers....

Hi,
I had this issue initially on 1st and 2nd boot or so. Don't forget that Android is run from sd card. You have to give 1-2 seconds to get going and load up the info from the sd.
When this happens, hit the end call button until the keypads light up and wait a few seconds. Make sure your keypad is lit up as it sometimes closes again. You can hit the call button and middle button as well.
Also, make sure that you uncheck auto intensity for display in windows mobile and I set the display time out to 10 minutes in Android.
Here is a trick and use and it seems to work. I let android sit for about 15-30 minutes on first boot to allow it to be stabilized and allow all the syncs to take place (the hd rom actually will download and re-install all marketplace apps - have a look in marketplace under downloads to see this). I then restart it a few times after that and even let it sit a bit to finalize everything. Don't ask me why but this helps a lot. Android seems to get faster each time. You also may want to postpone sync with exchange/outlook and also htc sense until your 4-5 boot.
Lastly, when you first start an application (each time you boot up) there is a slight lag so exercise some patience. After that it is very fast.
Hope this helps. If you want a faster build that is non desire hd based you can try mdeejay evo sense revolution build. It is not as fancy as the hd build but is lightning fast.

hey guys. ok ive searched and searched and gone through thread after thread to try and find a working android build for an AUSTRALIAN TELSTRA HD2.
im still using the phone on the telstra network and have yet to find a rom/radio/android combination that works.
so far most ones ive tried have the problems where i cant answer half of my calls since the screen was so moody or other ones the battery would drain in just a few hours.
i keep hearing that mdj's latest desire hd build is fantastic so if anyone has a good combination of a rom + radio + android build that would work for my hd2 then i will love you forever!!!

I also happen 2 own an Australian HD2 off Telstra and use both Telstra and Vodafone sims. Check my sig for the Win Rom/ Android combination. It works well for me, I've tried most of Mdj's Android roms as well but have found Sergio's Core Droid to be the most stable. Any of NRGZ28's Windows Roms will work well with Android, give it a go. I also downgraded my radio from 2.15 to 2.12 and that seems 2 work better for me. Hope that helps
My Telstra HD2 is running Android perfectly.
However, I want to watch Foxtel on it but says it doesn't recognise my HD2 as a Telstra device.
It is a T9193 from Telstra, but there must be a setting somewhere that's not right.
Any help would be awesome.
Cheers,
Dev
