My XDA iis nearly went out the freakin window! Or NO AUDIO !

[Dirky]

Aghhhhh,
I nearly turned my xda iis in to a bloody frisbe and launched it from
a high window today!

This thing is about as much use as a brick! Especially when you answer the phone and start shouting hello, hello - only to have to hang up and do a bloody soft reset of the phone.

This usuallly happens about 4 times a week to me, it can happen on outgoing calls too! The user at the other end reports they can only just hear me but I hear nothing.

I called 02 but of course they have never heard about this problem! Said I would have to take it in to a o2 shop for repair, repair! I'd like to see
them repair it!
After 3 repair attempts I am eligable for a new phone they said?

Anyway, has anybody found a fix for this. I'm running with all the 02 crap disabled, corporate user I think I chose when I reset it.

ROM 1.31.00 WWE
Radio 1.06.00
protocol 1337.38
ExtROM 1.31.139.WWE


When I got this phone I thought the wi-fi would be useful but the received signal level is a joke!

Please help!
thanks

I am running the same version of the software as you, in corp user mode. Have a few freeze up issues similar to what you describe, but not asw bad by the sound of it.. When you reset and chose corporate user mode, did you enter a 4 digit code..? If not, it probaly did not install corp user mode properly. Can you remember entering the code? Also, do you have any Today Plugins running?? Pocket Plus and Battery bar are particulary problematical. Keep you today screen plugins to a minimum I am running with just phoneAlarm and Alarm today form PocketMax, which appear pretty stable and really improve the alarm and notification functions a lot.

Aside form this ROM in Corp User Mode,You have 3 basic options using the resources on the wiki-xdadevelopers site

1. Upgrade the Radio and Bluetooth stack to later versions Rad 1.10 and BT 3900

2. Upgrade the ROM to 1.40

3. Cook a new extended ROM

All of the above require that you do a good bit of reading in the wiki site before starting and some bravery :-)

As for me, I am going to continue with the O2 ROM in corp mode for now, o2 should have a ROM update out soon, which will hopefully be more stable

Hop this helps

i used to have the same problem when i was using the same version on my sx66. ever since i upgraded to 1.40.00 wwe (with radio 1.12.00) the problem never came back.

so i guess this porblem has something to do with the radio version ... try upgrading the radio.

Hi Chris,
thanks for reply.
Yes I'm pretty sure I entered 4 digit code, I've non of the silly 02 add on
stuff which I had before, and it does not lock up totally like it used to.
However I still get the no audio problem, which is baaaad.

Can I safely upgrade to 1.40 as you mention? Where can I find details of this procedure to read?
thanks

Hi Dirky

Here is the link to wiki

*wiki.xda-developers.com

upgrading this way is not as straight forward as a regular ROM upgrade though... you have to pick the components (ROM, Radio Stack, Bluetooth Stack etc),you need and the run some procs to get relevant device info on operator and country codes off your device... Read the 'Getting Started' section and 'blue angel for beginners' many have done it, but its not simple if you have not done it before... instructions are good and forum help is always there.. personally I have not got frustrated enough to attempt it, although I have come close a couple of times:-) Start with the Radio upgrade alone. that may fix it for you.

Best of Luck

Regards

Chris
