Downgrade radio rom (w2k3se). Please help - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hello guys.
Here is my situation.
Innitially, my xdaiis was running rom 1.42 www and radio rom 1.13 but i was having problems with small mic volume which makes it very hard for the other party to hear me during a telephone conversation.
Then i decided to upgrade to radio rom version 1.15 and the problem did not go away, infact, it seems to create a new one. The sound for the first second would be fine, then it gets to a nearly muted level. More frustrating I would say.
Can i downgrade my radio rom to version 1.12 (this is what the xda was shipped with) and I hope this will work. Having a ppc phone that does not function well as a phone is quite frustrating.
So please comment and point me to the right direction.
Thankyou. :lol: :lol:

Hi guy
You should flash the 2003's ROM after you updatong the RADIO,then the wrongs maybe disappear
Have a try,Good luck

Apologies but I could not make sense of what you've posted. Would you mind rephrasing? I now am forced to use the included headset, sound is fine. This then makes me wonder: is it a software or hardware problem.

Having to reset Qtek daily cause I don't hear the one I call

Hi
I have the newest firmware version installed on my Qtek 9090 (BA_WWE_14000_147_11200_Ship), and I experience a problem again which I had first when I bought my Qtek but was gone after I had installed Radio version 1.08.00:
Once a day I have to reset my Qtek because I can't hear the one I am calling - usually this happens when I call my mobile phone's answer phone. The phone gets connected but I don't hear anything. After a soft reset everything is fine again.
Is this a known issue? Any solutions to it? Ok - I know I can downgrade to 1.08 again but I dont really wanna do that. And yes, I can stop calling my anser phone ....
Anyone knowing what is causing the problem?
Reagrds,
A
I had the same problem with my Qtek 9090 until I stopped use the Bluetooth feature completely. Since then, everything is fine.

For me, radio 1.12 delivered:
- worse signal reception
- higher battery consumption
- still no sound issue.
flashed twice & still having the bloody "no sound" issue. really give up. i think the next thing to change is the motherboard. sigh.........................
I had never had this issues untill I upgraded my Radio to 1.12 and then I had it 5 times in one day, went back to 1.10, no more issues
Hmm. This is a really 'odd' problem. I didn't originally have this problem with my SX66. Then, it just 'popped up' one day, and I can't seem to get rid of it.
I have tried different ROM versions (currently 1.40), and my radio version is at 1.10.
I have NEVER used radio 1.12, so I know that's not the CAUSE.
We need to compile a list of people with the problem, and see exactly what combination of ROM and Radio they have, as well as the programs they have installed.
if you read the cingular forums, there are a few folks there that say they have had it all along so I am not sure where to start...
umm....... different ppl have different problem. seems like it's a integration issue.
If you go to some HK forums, you will also find a lot of people suffering from this.
To me, I seldom use it as a phone. I only use it to receive emails and website browsing. When I go overseas and I used it as a phone with a BT handsfree (shut down GPRS connection), everything is just fine. I only encountered once with no sound problem when I take away my BT handsfree on a plane....
It's definitely a bug since a long time ago with old and new versions.....
Sad....and disappointed......
Hi all,
I upgraded my phone to the 1.12 radio along with the 1.40 CE ROM and am always resetting due to the "can't hear caller" issue and I never had this problem before.
I'm going to do a hard reset and see if that helps (clear out all the apps and use it for a day or so). If this doesn't work, I shall revert back to the 1.10 as I had no problems with that.
ROM 1.40.00
Radio 1.12.00
EXT ROM 1.13.139 (with Updated CallerID [1.20] and older version of O2 Active [3.0])
This cant hear caller issue, is it cant AT ALL hear caler or caller is so faint I cant hear him.
I ask as sometimes I get calls that are faint however when the caller rings back it fine. Not sure if its crap reseption or the device.
I got O2IIs from UK and had the same "No sound" problem. I have to SR about 5 times daily to sort it out. However, if I turn off Bluetooth (pairing with my Bluetrek G2) then everything's OK.
My ROM version is 1.31.00 WWE, Radio : 1.10.00, ExtROM: 1.31.139 WWE and BT 1.0.0 Build 3500
Had up to BT 3900 but wont help. Gonna up radio to 1.12. Will post the outcome soon.
I've only experience the problem once since the imate 1.40 upgrade.
Now, I must say that I don't use the phone THAT heavily.
I upgrade to 1.40 EX, it seems working fine, still the sound quality is not good enough...
people!
A guy called Derek has posted a possible solution to this problem here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=118364
It involves removing the Bluetooth for the startup because he believes that even with the bluetooth off, the unit is still trying to connect to a bluetooth headset.
I'm going to remove/unpair my Bluetooth Headset and see if that makes a difference. If anyone else can try this and post results I'm sure this would help loads of people.
Dom
Please confirm this and I will post it to wiki
@xdadom,
It's correct. As I mentioned in my post, when I "turned off" Bluetooth, everything's OK. The way I "turned off" Bluetooth is exactly the same with Derek did in his post, i.e. delete "Run_BTTrayCE" from Windows\StartUp\
However, I still need Bluetooth for my hand-free device. In my opinion, it's rather a trick, not a solution to kill "No sound" problem. Anyway, we can wait the updated BT version from supplier to sort it out.

New Radio 1.13.00

The BA_DT_WWE_DutchRetail_14000_556_11300 has a new radio 1.13
I have converted this to a TYPE I file.
I have updated wiki with that info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade
It has been tested (that is to say the flash works)
Have fun.
Seems like the GPRS "cannot connect" Problem has been fixed in this stack.
Cant manually reproduce the problem like i used to be able to, so time will tell, but so far so good
problems with no hearing the caller
Is the problem "no hearing the caller" solved with this radio radio 1.13? I can't solve this problem. Can anyone help me?

Only time can tell, and it's to early to say yet.
Just upgrade to 1.13 radio.
Let's see.....
MDAIII,
Good job with the instructions which makes it very easy to upgrade. Works better than 1.12 radio. Wish the bluetooth would not give the "insufficient memory" error.
Thanks.
Updated to 1.13
Update works fine.
GPRS Problem seems to be gone. (Works here by now)
SMS works fine (1.12 gave me a little problem here)
Bluetooth works fine (Fast on/off)
Nothing to mourn ATM
No negatives yet here. Haven't encountered the 'no sound' issue yet. I haven't noticed any improvements, though.
I'm glad to hear about the GPRS. Has anyone tested the WiFi feature and how long it takes to connect to activestync? I have notices that my BA, after upgradeing to the new Shipped Asia ROM, takes a really long time to connect to activestync (about 1min.) compared to older radios. Which took at the most 5 seconds to make a handshare.
Will This work on a SX66?
hakushox, it will. Follow the instructions MDAIIIUser has laid out on wiki.
when i just tried it says its not designed for my phone
Then you didn't follow the instructions properly.
You can always use maUpgrade_noID.exe
sprite backup after upgrade??
hi all,
if i upgrade my radio and after the hard reset, i restore with sprite backup, will it downgrade the radio as well?
please reply urgently! i cant resist the temptation to upgrade!
will doing a Radio update only make me have to reinstall all my programs and settings....if so, is there an easy way around this.....
Doing a radio update WILL make you have to do a hard reset. You will get errors when you try to restore your backup using sprite. You will have to re-install your applications after a radio update. Thats why i;m waiting till my questions have been answered before I upgrade since I just upgraded the ROM last week.

Well I did the nasty thing and used Sprite Backup to restore, wanted to try since this was only a Radio upgrade.
Works perfectly until now.
But to really test this new Radio, one should not use any Restore functions.
Okay, so only time will tell whether this new Radio ROM will fix the known echo issues during bluetooth carkit telephone conversations...
It's been like a day now, I assume peeps who upgraded yet would have made several phonecalls by now... :twisted: hehe
So... wots the verdict?.. :?
Edit: Nevermind, f*ck the verdict. I've gone in, full throttle. I'll let you know the outcome, going for a ride right now.
Hi,
well I have tried, still Echo :-(
I use Radio 1.13 now.
I have echo when only using the MDA and
I have echo when using a Lintech Bluetooth adapter in my Nokia Cark-91.
The first can't be a Bluetooth problem, the second one is a bluetooth problem, even after stack BT-3900.
So I think it's a great device, but as a phone it realy sucks.
I think the bluetooth is the biggest problem.
Hope it can be fixed soon.
Regards,
Max
Just HAVE a bluetooth insufficient memory error.
GPRS seems okay so far.
No caller hearing problem.

Ivan Speed with Radio Downgrade

Hello everyone!
I wanted to let everyone know that I definately appreciate the effort put forth to get Blue Angels to run W2K5.
Ivan 4.0 thus far had the best results for my Siemens SX66 w/ out camera. I was running Ivan with Radio 1.15.
I have kept up with Mamaich's updates and decided to downgrade my radio back to 1.12 to see if there would be any sounds improvements. I noticed right away that the speed of the device improved dramatically especially regarding actual rings from when callers call me. When callers call me, it doesn't just sit there and show me and ring on the third ring but it really does ring on the first time the call routes through. NO DELAY!
Also, when placing calls and answering calls, i noticed a dramatic upgrade in speed.
I wanted to also thank everyone involved in making a base rom.
I had a request to really find out how to integrate my software into the rom directly thus improving the available space on my phone. Extended rom is showing but I didn't know how to use it.
I also installed items into the SD card without any problems but if there is a link of something i can read to learn how to preinstall certain cab files and software, i would appreciate it.
Thanks everyone! Let me know if other radio editions improve call handling!
Hi there!
For the last few days, I keep on saying the same thing: radio version 1.15 has problems with WM5. See post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48215&start=75 so I have downgraded to radio version 1.13. Have you tried radio version 1.13 vs 1.12? I haven't seen any difference between 1.12 and 1.13 (using European networks). I'd like to have your report if possible. Thank you.
well ive been using radio 1.13 since ever..never upgraded..my OS , details are in my signature...but yes ive got the call delay..around 2-3 seconds..
otherwise calling too is decent..not too fast as baeshin has said..maybe i will try downgrading to 1.12 and see the difference
i also use sx66, can you tell me where i could get 1.12 radio rom? thx!
I guess I would like this older Radio too... could not hurt to much to try it out.
the files should be on the ftp. i tried to downgrade to 1.13 but i don't think it was meant for siemens sx66. i recall reading somewhere that it was for another device.
1.12 radio rom can be found in 1.40 WM2003SE ROM

UK O2 Radio ROM - Recommendations

I've searched through the forum but can't seem to find any topics based on this question. Of recent months, I'm having terrible problems with;
- People finding it hard to hear me from time to time (as a result of me going 'very quiet'),
- Calls not ringing through (despite volume being turned up),
- Calls cutting off despite mid-signal levels which suddenly drop.
I'm guessing all these are faults with the Radio ROM. I'm currently using 02.07.10, any recommendations on what I should be upgrading too?
try each of these: 2.09.11, 2.40.11, 2.47.11, 2.61.11, 2.69.11, 2.71.11 to find best radio for your rom!
I am on O2 UK PAYG with my Wizard and I use radio rom 02.19.11. It works really well, and is the best I have found without other issues.
if you dont search....
First of all... search but now...
radio 2.19
http://rapidshare.com/files/84722422/T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radio_Only.zip.html
radio 2.71
http://rapidshare.com/files/91064086/radio_2.71.rar.html
Because nobody said his own informatin...I will said it again this is just Radio upgrade but remember... you need to be CID/SIM unlocked before do anything stupid ok?
See you soon tell us what does it works for you ok?
See you soon!

Phone Call disconnects without valid reasons...

Hi guys,
I''m new to this forum and I'm also new to HTC Diamond. However I found great guidance to "upgrade" my MDA Compact IV to HTCs original patched rom (1.93.407.1 GER) and had a radio update to 1.00.25.05, but after upgrading to these versions with Hard SPL oni 1.30, my phone is experience problems with phone calls. Whenver I'm at a phone call either I my HTC looses signal so that I cannot hear my counter part or It simply disconnects. I'm pretty annoyed with this and I dont know what to do.
Would appreciate answer on If some one is experiencing simliar problems or on a guideline to how to "cure" my phone.
Thank you!
And btw I'm also having this problem where I cannot hear the caller nor can the caller hear me the first 2-3 secs. Is this due to my upgrade? Or is It a radio prob or maybe the rom itself?
i would suggest changing the Radio... although i havent heard of problems with this radio version before (i am using it too)
Thanks for the reply mugglesquop. Neither have I heard of anything bad regarding this version, but I'm a bit worried. Can It be also a hardware defect? And If you would suggest me to switch to another radio, which version would It be? If I perform an upgrade of radio I will need to re-install rom as well. Is this true?
