Magician - phone sound quality?

---

Hi everyone.

I have an o2 xdaII mini, that I got a few days ago - which I'm very happy with except for the sound quality during a phone call.

Regardless of the speaker volume, the sound of the remote person is fairly distorted at times - almost like the internal speaker is blown.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this device while being used as normal phone (i.e. not on speakerphone)?

Hi, I have an MDA compact and I immediately noticed that the sound quality is VERY low...not even comparable to the P900 I had before....

and not only! I know other 3 user (they have the JAM italian version) that say the same thing as well!!! (from www.newsmobile.it)

I would like to send it back to the shop (in Germany), but I am not sure about it...

It was me to wrote above...

I am wondering also if a different RADIO-VERSION could make the difference in audio quality...

My version is:

ROM-version: 1.01.01GER
ROM-date: 10/21/04
Radio-version: 1.00.10
Protocol version: 1337.36
EXTrom: 1.01.120 GER

I repeat that I am very disappointed with audio quality in phone conversation...

My O2 XDA Mini's Radio version is 1.01.00.

It's true that the sound quality during phone call is not as good as XDA II, but I believe it is good enough for me.

It's a lot better than my old T68i and Treo 600.

Ok let me say this! I got the German T-Mobile with the German OS sound was perfect then I flashed it with English T-Mobile ROM the sound was still perfect! Then I flashed it with the iMate JAM ROM the sound became problematic with all the troubles you described so I flashed it back to T-Mobile's English ROM and the sound problems were solved again!
Conclusion the iMate ROM is buggy as fas as it concerns the sound quality and from your posts I see that the O2 has familiar problems with iMate's ROM. So I will stay with English T-Mobile ROM till a ROM upgrade will solve the problem in iMate's or O2's ROM.

Very good info, katsj

i-mate JAM (WWE)

ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 11/01/04
Radion version: 1.01.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.03.143 WWE

Sound is decent. Not as deep/rich as my SMT 5600 (SP3), but I have no problems hearing people (or being heard)...

i-mate said that they'd have an JAM ROM update on clubimate.com soon. (who knows what 'soon' means though!)

My radio version is 1.01.00 too, and my sound quality leaves much to be desired.

I discovered today that the sound is so bad that I can't understand the remote person at all if there's any more than a minimum level of background noise (i.e. in a department store).

The info katsj gave us regarding different ROMs is promising, but a refund seems more attractive at the moment. :(

iMate already promised a new ROM fixing this problem! I dont want any refunds! I want this incredible phone to be perfect! Maybe the sound quality needs to be fixed but it is the ONLY phone that I can make a call at my house's elevator without loosing a word! All other phone I ever tried were just dropping the call! Even SE K700i which has the reputation of the best reception!

Like katsj, I have an MDA Compact with the T-Mobile english ROM and the sound is just fine. I was using a P800 then a P900 just before I got the Compact, and I cannot tell any difference.

Very well! I will wait my SD 1GB and I will try to upload an english ROM Tmobile...

The fact is that I have a German Tmobile ROM that, in katsj experiments, should be excellent for sound quality but in my case is very bad...

Why?

one more thing: which are the JAM forums where people are complaing about sound quality? I would like to have a look by myself....
