Anyone bought a new blue angel recently?

[chriscole]

Hi - has anyone bought a new Blue Angel device recently and had problems with the in call voice quality, specifically that your voice is too quiet or cuts out when talking softly?

This seems to be a problem with earlier Blue Anngels (mine included) and was wondering if any type of hardware fix has been implemented in newly produced models (software wise, radio 1.12 improves things a little for me, though the quality is still poor).

Chris.

I agree with you chris...

Sound quality in Blue Angel is really crap.... even with new Radio version is the same... I hope they could come up with some solution for this also the known cant hear the calls..

This is an age old problem with this device through all ROMs.

I am yet to meet anyone who is satisfied with the voice quality. It is probably the worst when you have the device against your ear and is suggestive that they really cocked up putting a tiny microphone hole at the bottom of the device. I have resorted to cupping my hand over the bottom of the device against ear. You can be heard provided (i) there isn't much background noise and (ii) you don't have a low/soft voice :D

The bluetooth is better but is really scratchy beyond a couple of metres. I am told this isn't really improved markedly by the new Radio/Broadcom Roms etc.

We need a poll specifically on this issue :?:

@ Jiggy: You need to update your radio... you still have v1.0

I'm running v1.12 on my Qtek 9090 and have no problems at all!

Hey Dutch,

Could you tell me if u have experienced the bad sound quality (on the other end of the line) with older roms? I have a 9090 since it was first out and i have always had people complaining to me about the bad sound quality and echo`s with every update i tried. The sound quality on my side of the line is perfect. I haven`t yet upgraded to 1.40/Radio 1.12 because there is only the cooked rom.

It really bothers me that HTC doesn`t fix this. There have been about 3 to 4 roms now (official and non-official) and none of the roms seem to fix this problem. And a lot of people have this.

True, altho from Radio 1.08 on it's been OK for me. Radio 1.12 really fixes the problem. Now still some work to be done @ BT ;)

What kind of device do you have? A Dutch Qtek?

[GaMeR64]

I don`t think it is dutch. It comes from a dutch distributor but it was grey import. It also didn`t come with a dutch user guide. I talked to them today and told them about my problem, but they said: If u want i can send it to Qtek for you, but they won`t solve the problem. I already know. Qtek says it just can`t be fixed.

HTC should really be kicked in the nuts for this HUGE mistake. Or they should at least appologise for it and offer the people with problems something else.

Hi,

I have just purchased the i-mate PDA2K (May 2005) and have not made too many phone calls so far. It is difficult to say how other people find how it sounds but I have asked them and they say it is OK and until now I have not had anyone complaining. Maybe they are just curtious and do not want to complain :-)
I am in US right now and the signal in my area is not that good but the PDA2K unit seems to work equaly as good (or bad) radio wise as my previous "ordinary" mobile Motorola 180.

I will some time try to connect the original handsfree headset and see if the one I am talking to will note any differences. I have also on order a bluetooth SCALA 500 and it will be interresting to see if it works fine and how people find the sound quality.

Regards,
Ronny
