View Full Version : NOT SOLVED::Sound problem - Possible ROM incompatibility with MDA Compact IV?

Please read patiently ... I have spent many hours reading on the forum and flashing many ROM's:

I have T-Mobile MDA Compact IV, originally purchased in Czech Republic, with stock ROM version 1.37.110.3 CSE. Everything "worked fine" except for the huge memory and batery consumption :)

Here is what I did:
1. Installed OliNex Unsigned HardSPL version 1.40
2. Upgraded to latest SwiftBlade ROM - very nice, but I started to have problems with audio soon - after switching few of the ring/notification wav and mp3, the audio got stuck - either silent or buzzin with a high-pich tone. The same could happen when I muted ringing phone by turning phone face down. Only soft reset helped.
3. Upgraded to latest Duttys ROM - very nice as well, but had same problems with the audio.
4. Upgraded to latest panosha Shine On 1.7 - same problems again (but now I understand why there is no point in comparing ROM's, each has its own value)
5. Played with the official HTC 1.93 ROM (changed the device ID as MDA compact has DIAM200), installed it successfully, but had same problems with sound again.

6. Now here is the tricky part; as a last resort (the phone was of no use once the sound was dead :mad:) I have returned to original T-Mobile ROM. I have downloaded and installed UK version, which is based on ROM 1.37.110.3 WWE and only updated the radio to 1.00.25.05 for better power management.

I do not have sound problems any more. However, it is hard to believe that any HTC 1.93 based ROM (original or cooked) is not compatible with MDA Compact IV. Also, I have found many people on the forum, with MDA using cooked ROMs and not reporting any problem with sound.

I apologize for the long post, but can you please (escpecially the chefs) look at the issue? There are several posts of people reporting sound problems but there was no response to it yet.

I will really appreciate your help. I want to use HTCBlack skin and any of those cooked ROM's!

EDIT - UPDATE
I have originally believed that the problem was resolved. Unfortunatelly until the first call. The phone rings once, sometimes twice, and then the sound goes out!
I have tried all possible versions of SPL and ROM (HTC Original, Diamond Project, SwiftBlade, panosha, Dutty, and more) - most of the day today - but the result is still the same.
The only possiblity to return sound is to reboot - but only until next call. You can ask my friends, they are getting crazy.

When I flash back the TMUK stock original ROM, problem does not appear, even when I upgrade the radio to 1.00.25.05. No problem at all.

Please help

I have a MDA Compact IV (from the UK) and i'm currently using Panosha Shine On 1.7 and i have no sound issues, though this is the only other ROM i have tried apart from the official!

Sometimes its the SPL which creates issues. try Different Hard SPL,s i found best to be jockys 2.4 however this only shows you have 128MB ram. otherwise very good spl.

thanks,

I have exactly the same problem and it's very hard to believe that SPL can be a source. I'll try other SPL's and report here the result.

Surprise, but thanks for the tip. I have changed HardSPL to JockyW 1.24 and updated to SwiftBLASW ROM 6.0 and did not see any problem with audio for at least 2 hours :). I consider this issue solved. Thanks again!

... by any chance have these findings been substantiated by more people? - and if so, do Olipro and Cmonex (the people who released OliPro HardSPL v1.40) know about this problem?

Just a thought.

I have updated the original post. I still have a problem and can discribe it better. I have also contacted directly OliPro with request for help.
