Help with sound on Cingular/Siemens SX66 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi, I have been reading through stuff on here for the past few days trying to find a solution but nothing has worked so I registered to actually post. I have had a Siemens SX66 since August 05 and until lately it had been working ok. I started to have battery issues a few months ago, and finally last week my SX66 refused to charge. I was away from home and using a travel charger, and was trying to search for any existing problems with that. Well, while I was searching I came across the wiki and found the uni-directional sound patch. It didnt solve my immediate problem but I have had the uni-direction issue every so often so I filed that away in the back of my head. So I got home, put my SX66 back in the cradle and it charged no problem. So once it was charged I decided to apply the unidirection sound cab figuring I might as well fix that while I remembered it. Being that genius that I am though I didn't back up my original ROM, and now I can only get sound on phone calls and through my headphones when the SX66 is plugged into a charger. I tried upgrading to ROMs 1.40 and 1.42, and I even found the official Siemens 1.33 ROM somewhere and tried to reinstall that. I have also been trying every single CAB I can get my hands on relating to audio (being careful to back things up before I change stuff now) but my audio issue is still there. I saw someone say that if you turn on BT you should be able to get audio, tried that and it didnt work either. Any ideas or suggestions would be great, or if there is a Siemens ROM out there that I have somehow missed (I have been wading through the FTP site looking for anything labeled Siemens/Cingular).
Thanks
Dan

2i reverting to "Sound off" for no reason!

Has anyone else come accross this? Mine started it a couple of days ago, all sound mutes, even when you move volume slider back up it resets itself to sound off. I did a hard reset after the first occasion, then it did it again. I have not installed any new software so don't think that is the issue. IF you have come accross this and found a work around that does not involve a hard reset I would be grateful for the advice.
soft-reset cures it on mine
Soft resetting does not do anything on mine, only a hard reset cures it, and then only for a couple of days, have aslo lost BT now!!! Can see my headset, pairs with it but wont connect. I have re-flashed the ROM, but problems still exist. O2 are now sending a replacement as the other one is only 2 months old (took some haggling though, O2 customer services is truely diabolical)
o2 online or retail? either way take it to an o2 shop, they HAVE to sort it for you
It was O2 online, they have now told me there is a problem with the new rom and some bt devices!!!!! Still not sure what the problems are, but am sure they are linked to TT3 as well. so will upgrade and se if that helps!
this happened to me... even a hard reset didnt fix it.
For some reason, leaving it to charge in the USB docking cradle all day has cured it
I'm such a liar!
Stupid things started doing it again, worse than ever
Have you got the broadcom BT update loaded on? If so get rid of it, thats what the problem was with mine. But then getting rid of that stopped my headset working if TT3 was loaded, so I have had to upgrade to TT5 to cure that problem!! My problems, though now resolved, all started after I did a rom upgrade from o2!!!!
There have been several problems with the 169 ROM by O2, which versions are you all using?

I did have, but have now rolled it back to the previous version. Even o2 admit that ver 69 has problems with BT devices!!! Wish they would check things before they release them!!
.169 killed my GPS and tom tom :'(
Crap. The problems started when I installed 169... and I've just ordered a TomTom from Ebay :'(
What should I roll back to? Or are there any "unofficial" later roms?

PLEASE HEEELP!!!! NO SOUND on my BA on calls ... :(

I'm having the same problem for a week now...
I was on the street with my BA making calls and all went Ok. I use it for my work, so I do lots of calls a day. Suddenly, I realized, when I call, that the other can not hear me, nor can I hear them! The counter is running, the screen says "Connected". I haven't done anything to change the configuration, nor it have dropped it from my pocket.
I'¡m getting crazy. I don't know what I've done wrong.
Things tried unsuccessfully: Crying or Very sad
-Lots of device resets..... Between tryes and Updates.
- Reinstalled WM5 using a different ROM. Now I have TM 1.3. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42632]
- Upgraded Radio to 1.15 (previously, I had 1.13)
- Used a Bluetooth headset. It worked, I could hear the sound from the phone, at least. Only thru the bluetooth headphone. Still, I could not hear any phone-sound from the loudspeaker when I turned off the headphone and the bluetooth headset were disabled, even with the Bluetooth signal ON, as suggested on other post. Each try with a new call. The weird thing is that I CAN hear the loudspeaker when I hear music or the system sounds... :?
- "Installed" the Unidirectional patch (copied the AudioGW.dll file over the old one successfully, reset, etc..)
- Turned off the device and leave it off for a while. Take off the SIM card, touch it (cosmic vibrations Embarassed) Sometimes, before, the SIM card went a little nuts if I resetted the device too much -maybe Confused- or if I got the battery off...
- Last, I've downgraded to the latest WM2003 ROM. Formatted the Storage Space and resseted the Registry Hive. No change. All else is working.
My options are finishing ....
Sorry if this has been posted before, but, at this point, when I've been tried almost (I think) everything, i couldn't find anything relevant using search.
Please, any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Maybe I can use at least a link to another thread..
Thanks
try downgrade your RADIO to 1.13
I've allready upgraded to 1.15 because of this problem. Anyway, I've downgraded just now and nothing same problem..... also: I can not get the handsfree-loudspeaker mode (pressing the "call" button for a while). Just nothing happens
Let's hope mamaich or other cracks read this post
Thanks for ur answer

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ((
ow... DONT PANIC !!! try flashing once again ... including ROM & RADIO
Rom & Radio flashed again. At no avail
I've used, lastly, the "standard" Rom posted on I-mate website (www.clubimate.com) [ROM: 1.40.00 WWE; Radio: 1.12.00; Protocol: 1337.42], just to checkout and everything (regarding this problem) remains the same.
I've, however, noticed that, before, when I used the volume slider up, first the PDA-volume went up, later the phone-volume. Now it only fully moves up the PDA-volume. I think this have something to do...
Again: Please, help me!!!
Thanks for your answer!!

Still the same after 3 flashing sessions
Two days ago, I've sent an e-mail to I-Mate. They have answered me yesterday telling me to hard-reset :?:evil: and if that doesn't work, to send the device to France or Portugal for fixing. Here on Spain there's no place where to send it.
I think it should be a software problem (maybe) that's why I'm asking help here.. Also, the problem with the volume slider up only occurs on W2003, not on WM5
What should I do??
Anyone?? HELLOO?
i've had this problem for a long time, and tried so many different patches non worked, but there is a way to deal with this issue u need to keep ur bluetooth on all da time or remove the file BTTrayCE from this directory
Mydevice>windows>start up
and copy this file to ur storage card if later u want to use ur Bluetooth so wat removing of this file does is that the icon in of bluetooth in tray bar will not appear automatically after u restart ur machine .
hope this helps
At no avail , but many thanks anyway.
I've seen this solution on other posts and I've tried it before. Without luck
Even the 'bluetooth on all the time' alternative. Without luck
Also, I'm now on TuMa 1.3 (WM5). The file relative to bluetooth on the startup folder is "BTIcon", wich I have moved as you stated. Without luck
Maybe the file you tell is for WM2003 ?? Could it be? Is the file named 'BTTrayCE' on WM2003 and 'BTIcon' on WM5?
I'm really desperate.

umm yeah i'm sorry, mine is running WM2003, maybe u should try downgrading to 2003 as well since i've done it and now i'm having less problems, i really don see much of advantage in using 2005, good luck.
ok here is a patch that is supposed to fix this problem but hasn't worked on mine, i just attach it here it might work on urs, or u might already have used it.
Sometime back, I had come across a post on a similar problem. I think what you have is a erratic headphone jack..I believe there is a micro (?)switch in there which connects headset and disconnects speakerphone.
I had a similar problem sometime back, and just put the headphone jack in there, jiggled it a bit and it started working. basically released the switch. your symptoms point to a similar problem...does not have anything to do with Radio ROM. Has not given me problem since then
here you go..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33207
Yup, I've seen this forum before. If it has to do with a headphone problem, then It shouldn't be heard anytime, and I CAN hear music and such from the device when it isn't in a call. Anytime I put the device on the "call" state (dialing, connected, hold, etc..) the sound goes out. :-S
So, it should not be a headphones problem.... should it??

OK, I've tried, for nth time, going back to WM2003SE (112 T-Mobile) and applying the unidirectional patch I've found here (I think is the same posted on the I-mate site I've tested before) and NOTHING changes...
Still the same problem.
Any clues?
hi !
try like me... in bt setting-->accessibility-->disable all access options..
to me this little trick cut off every problems on use the phone....
hi
OK, I'll give a try :? (Again going to WM2003, as I think is that what you have right?)

I also have a similar problem - when in phone mode, other side can hear me but i cannot hear them, if i plug a headset with microphone the other side hear me and i also have sound from other side.
if i unplug the headset, i cannot hear the other side but the other side can hear me.
are there microswitches inside the headset plug for both microphone and speaker (two microswitches) ?
thanks, yol.

ROM/Radio problem? T-Mobile Compact IV

Hi guys, thanks for looking in at my problem.
I decided to move away from N95 for the greener pastures of an MDA, of which i had previously had a Vario, and liked the basics of it, anyway,
I have a T-Mobile Compact IV (Diamond -Diam200) with original shipped ROM
ROM: 1.37.110.3
Radio 1.00.25.03
I was wanting to increase battery time (cute coming from an N95 i know), reduce battery heating prob, speed up and 'fix' some of the little bugs on it.
So i followed guides and instruction from the guys on here and things were going so well.
First off i used the unsigned HardSPL, which worked as instructed.
Then i flashed it to RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
This worked, but had an issue such that I could receive messages, but got the dreaded "Your text message cannot be sent."
And when i tried to check settings for text/voice messages it constantly said 'cant connect try later.'
So, hope your still with me here and havent dropped off,
I tried, in this order, but still the same error.
Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.08
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7-0-Full-12MbPP -good rom btw
RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
Neither solved my problem, so i re-flashed back to original ROM, found on here also. Now I can text happily again, no error.
What am i doing wrong?
UPDATE:
it would seem as though only Radio 25.03 works for me with any of the excellent cooked ROMs.
Anyone shed any light on why? and has this any known major deficits ie battery power, etc?
Thanks
I got my mdac4 on Thursday and found that the stock rom was quite slow and pug ugly! So rather than rebrand the touch pro I installed the Swiftblade rom and ended up with a nice fast device but no sound at all and I had problems sending texts. So I then installed the panosha rom and 08 radio and very nice it is!
thanks Stunno, found the fault, it was my dated SIM, got a new one today and dutifully upgraded to 25.05.
Job done. Good times

Why does microphone stop working then repairs itself?

My Vario III suddenly stops recording sound properly via the built in
microphone. If I make a call when this is happening the other person cannot hear me or sound quality is very poor and if I use htc voice-recorder the sound seems very far away with occasional loud distortion. If I plug in my external headphones and use that mic the sound is absolutely fine.
This problem seems to just appear and then can just go. A soft reset makes no difference. A hard reset or flashing the radio or rom has, so far, always solved the problem - until it happens again which could be in a few hours, days or even weeks.
I can't link the problem to any particular software that runs.
I've tried flashing several different radios. I still get exactly the same problem. My local repairer says it won't be the mic as they either break or they work - not coming and going as I have.
Has anyone any suggestions for what I could try to fix this? Suspect software? Should I just keeping working my way through new radio roms? Do you think it is actually the mic in the phone?
I can't find quite this problem described anywhere else so your help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.
Currently
Dutty's WM6.1 WWE

Protocol 25.83.40.02W

Then go see somewhere else, they're not reliable...
A bad contact causing an intermittent failure is one of the most common problems in electronic devices...
I'm having the exact same problem on my Vodafone V1615. Funny thing is, my radio ROM was the same as yours when the problems began. I waited till the Vodafone V1615 WM 6.1 ROM update, and installed it. It worked, for a few weeks, and then the problem returned. Vodafone does not want to fix it for me
Hello tha_bulldog
When your mic stops working have you found a reliable way to get it working again?
Long shot but does this thread help??? The problem was the way the user holds the phone, covering the mic with their hand.

Weird Kaiser Bahavior mostly after Standby

Hi,
I have a Kaiser with the following Items:
ROM: 3.31.111.4 GER (downloaded from german T-Mobile Site)
Rom Date: 09/01/08
Radio: 1.59.42.15 (from here, more about it further down)
Protocolle Version: 25.83.30.07H
Here the Problem:
I used to have a Custom ROM on this Kaiser (see my previouse Posts) but since i had some Issues about GPS and so on i decided to go back to the original T-Mobile ROM and downloaded it from theyre german Website.
Everything seemed to be working nice till i noticed that i didnt get as many Calls as i used to.
I went to check my Amount i had left on my Prepaid Card by hitting *101# and send but all i always got was a Message saying *Session ended*, instead of my Amount on my Account.
So i tryed to make a Phonecall with my Kaiser but all i heard was like a Pianolike multitone Chirp in the Speaker.
So i deleted all the Programs i have added, like TOMTOM6, and some Games and i rebooted the Kaiser to find out i could make Calls again.
Shortly thereafter i noticed that this would happen every Time my Kaiser was in Suspend Mode/ Standby so i deactivaed this.
Today i noticed that it happened again even i still had Suspend disabled.
I have already called HTC here in Germany today and all the LAdy told me to try to flash the T-Mobile ROM again and see if it still does the same as it does now, and if so to go to a T-Mobile Shop.
I have looked on this great Site but since i have PC Issues at this Time as well as PPC Issues i cant read through the entire Kaiser Section, I am sorry.
I have already tryed multiple Radios from the BIG RADIO Thread, but no changes.
Does anyone know of any FIX of this, does anyone else have this Issue too?
I would be very Helpfull for any Solution because i really dont want to have them send it in, since i dont know which Radio was on it Stock, nor do i wanna be w ithout it for weeks if i can fix it somehow, even i would much rather have a Diamond in exchange for it (yeah i know i am a dreamer LOL)
Thanks in Advance for any Suggestions, Help or Solutions.
