In Call Volume issues...

Hi, this is my first time posting on this forum but I have nowhere else to go! I have had an XDA mini now for a few months and it has got to a stage now where I can only hear the other caller by using a bluetooth headset.
My question is would a new ROM affect this, is it the O2 ROM particularly bad? I am wary of flashing the ROM and want to know if a fresh one would make any difference at all.
I have also read up about Radio ROMS, can I just replace this?
Sorry for all the questions, I hope you guys can help!

Welcome to XDA-Developers.
If your in call volume has gotten steadily worse over time, it may be a hardware issue. Before you go trying to flash a new ROM you may want to try backing up your personal data and then doing a hard reset first and see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't then flashing a new ROM probably won't help much either.
If you do decide to try flashing a new ROM then make sure you read and re-read the posts on CID unlocking first and make sure you know what you're doing because doing it wrong can turn it in to a nice expensive shiny brick.
You asked if you can replace Radio ROM's, the answer to that is yes. There are plenty of them around here that you can try out. You might try changing to a different radio ROM first before trying a hard reset, but since you said it's been getting steadily worse I'm thinking that it's probably not your problem. I could be wrong about that though.

Thanks for the reply!
I wouldnt say 'steadily worse' but when I got it it was ok and kept going from normal to whisper quiet, like it was a problem with the signal, now its stuck at whisper quiet. I have done many a hard reset and this worked first time around, but then the cycle repeated itself. Now a hard reset does nothing.
Could it be a speaker connection? Also friends have reported that although I can hear them properly on handsfree (built in), they cannot hear my voice very clearly. Seems an odd combo to me....but hey what do I know!
Could you recommend a radio rom or is it a case of trial and error?

Radio ROMs are kind of a trial and error thing, what works for one person in one area might not work so well for someone else in another. It depends on who your carrier is and where you're located. Try 2.19.11 first, it seems to be the one that works for the most people. If that one doesn't work well, try 2.47 and/or 2.69 next as they seem to be the next runners up.

awesome! will give it a go and let you know!
Thanks again!

sorry to be a pain! but where do I get the rom from?

From this forum. Make a search

didn't see that link! Cheers!!

didn't see that link! Cheers!!

I am gonna sound like a complete muppet now but how do i install a radio rom. To complicate things more I am a mac user, but have an intel mac so can run windws stuff if necessary.
Sorry to hassle but im not much good at this stuff!

I don't know anything about mac's, but if you can run windows programs like you said, connect your phone to your sync cable and then run the ROMUpdateUtility that is included in the zip file and just follow the instructions. It's easy, and since I'm guessing that you haven't done this kind of thing before, when the rom update utility runs it will tell you that you will lose all your information on your phone. You can ignore that, you won't lose anything. The same utility is used for installing entire ROMs in which case you would lose everything, but not when just updating a Radio ROM.

thanks for the info. Downloaded the radio Rom suggested, ran the utility but it tells me it cannot update and to get a newer version of the update utility. I have looked into this and it seems my Wizard is a G4 model, is there an update utility for this? if so where can I find it!
Thanks in advance!

dont worry found it on the G4 forum! Installed it and I can hear again! Never thought I would get it fixed! Thanks for all our help! It is no longer in danger of flying against the nearest wall!

Speed Dial Resets

Does anyone else have this issue? I set up 3 or 4 speed dials, when I next try them, maybe a day later, they don't work... they've all vanished again!
Anyone have any ideas why?

Did you get an answer for this? I have the same problem. What rom are you running? I'm running Duttys v4

No not yet... I have the original Orange ROM I think. I guess this maybe means its not so much ROM related as Kaiser related?

Well until I flashed my rom to duttys v4 this didnt happen. Ive run a couple of other versions of duttys roms and this hasnt been a problem. i have read a few posts on the v2/v3 thread saying that you need to turn on touchflo through the ftouchfloconfig and then use the cube to add your speed dials. obviously this doesnt apply to you as your not running a rom with the cube in it but it didnt work anyway.
I wonder if its related to the radio? I wouldnt have thought so cos i believe the radio only deals with calls, wifi etc but just noticing were both on uk orange and I still have the original radio (1.27.12.29), which radio are you running?
Anyone have any ideas on this??? its pissing me off now!

load your speed dials thru your cube. power down power back up. all fixed.

Great that worked thanks. I could have sworn I'd already tried that. Oh well, im an idiot! Any ideas why it doesnt work on AndyCr15's device? He has original orange rom. You could always just flash it I guess, original Orange rom is ****e anyway compared to the custom roms you can get on here.

To be completely honest. I have no idea. I am not familiar with the orange roms.

I have no problem flashing my device, I did it several times with my old Universal. Can you advise what would be a good one for me? I tend to prefer simple but fast ones.

one of duttys lite roms then in that case. ive only tried duttys but from what everyone says, theyre the best anyway. make sure you only flash your rom and not your radio or get your phone sim unlocked cos theres problems with blocking the phone when flashing radio on orange phones. theres a thread on flashing orange kaisers somewhere on here. and if you go to the dutty v4 thread you should be able to find the link to all his roms and other cab files in the first post.

Howto downgrade radio-firmware 1.54.30.10 ??

Dear developers..
Is there a possibility that I can downgrade my radio firmware from 1.54.30.10 to let's say 1.54.01.00 or whatsoever?
I tried dozens of methods but non worked, spend 10+ hours on this forum.. none worked.
My specs:
Treo 750 unlocked
Windows Mobile 6 (previously 6.1 normal version)
Radio: 1.54.30.10 (Hermes one)
IPL 0.20
SPL 1.40
Netherlands / T-Mobile
And is it possible to rollback to the official Palm Bootloader? In case I have to send it in for repair.
Many many thanks in advance

Bump Im Stuck With This ****ty Radio!!help!!!tried Everything!!

I guess nobody knows (so far) how to downgrade from Hermes radio. I guess the only way is to directly flash via JTAG - if you can find the right pins in your Treo. I.e. something like the one discussed for Hermes in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391047

There are a couple of threads going on about this now and some people have reported success, but I am a little skeptical (sorry mates) they were actually at this firmware level as I have yet to successfully downgrade my radio...spent hours flashing, reflashing various OS ROMs, radio ROMs, even made my own radio ROM extracted from ATT 2.25 update, via various bootloaders, SPL, and on and on. So I have given up and hope the official WM 6.1 update rumors come true and it contains a refresh radio and can actually over-write.
Having said this, I am pretty stable using 1.54.30.10 alongside the normal/generic WM 6.1 ROM

i was able to downgrade my unlocked and hardspl'ed 750 from 1.54.30.10 to 1.54.07.00. i had to use the palm recovery tool that was extracted from Treo750_2_27_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater.
there's a thread on it, but basically, ran the recovery tool, then flashed the 2.27 ROW EN update, then updated it with a radio-less 6.1 ROM. after the ROW update, the radio version was 1.54.07.00, which worked much better with ATT

What exactly is wrong with this radio? I like it better than the ATT WM6 one simply b/c I've had less issues and the earpiece is MUCH louder.

with ATT here in NYC, i had issues with 1.54.30.10-- it would drop the signal and a reboot would be needed to get it back. or if you went underground, and came back up, it would not grab a signal for a few minutes, i would have to turn the radio off then back on to get reception.
the problem went away with 1.54.07.00

Not wanting or trying to get into a fray, but rather really trying to understand how you have succeeded where we have failed. I have tried your method to no avail. As I stated here and elsewhere I've tried throwing everything at this firmware/radio short of the kitchen sink. The reason this radio cannot be downgraded, as I understand it, is due to a "password" type issue. The available down-level firmware and the methods for accessing the firmware do not allow for the 1.54.30.10 firmware to be overwritten. I truly question the validity of the claim, not that I think you a liar, but rather that you actually had 1.54.30.10 firmware installed or that you have successfully overwritten. How are you determining that you had 1.54.30.10 installed? How are you determining that you have overwritten with a down-level firmware?
I doubt you will do this, and you certainly owe us nothing, but as a service to your XDA compatriots, how about you re-install 1.54.30.10 show us that you have it installed, then overwrite it. Screen shots would be lovely.
Again, this may come off as having attitude, but that is not intended. This is purely an academic challenge to help the rest of us understand how you have succeeded where the rest of us continue to fail.
Thanks in advance, cheers!

i had flashed the different radio version via sd card. i actually bought a new treo when i realized i couldnt get it to revert down to an older version, and 1.54.30.10 was horrible with ATT in NYC. i would get on an elevator and lose service and have to cycle the radio to get service again
i wanted to sell the one of the treo 750s, but didnt want to stick the buyer with the crappy radio version. i tried the method someone else posted up and it worked, i was actually very surprised.
its sold and gone, working happily on att with the rom version i posted above.
the only thing i had done before the ill fated flash was to hard spl the device and sim unlock it.
i have no reason to make it up, i can assure you i was stuck on 1.54.30.10, as i went out and bought a new treo 750 to replace it when i couldnt get the radio flashed down. it was stuck as i had tried to reflash the radio SEVERAL times, both using the hermes flasher and the sd card method. it sat on my desk for a few months gathering dust.
i dont have a stake in this, as i actually dont even use the treo i have left anymore-- the second one that i never flashed to 1.54.30.10. i'm now using a kaiser.
all i can say is, i didnt think to take screenshots because why the heck would i make this up? the radio was stuck at 1.54.30.10. i simply followed another members instructions for the hell of it (i was about to rip it apart for spare parts) and lo and behold, the radio dropped to 1.54.07.00. sold it. done.
i wouldn't have bothered to waste the time to post my success if i had known i would have people calling me a liar. seriously? for what? bragging rights that i fixed my own screwup?
was your device hard-spl'ed before you flashed the 1.54.30.10 rom?

Also a no-go here with the URT. Tried MTTY. Even tried BRICKING the darned thing with MTTY, corrupting the OS and radio, and no luck, reflashes but the damned evil radio remains intact. Gone as far as flashing a kaiser radio then reflashing a cheetah radio...no luck. Anyone? Imma shoot this thing lol.

It's amazing that you still cop to this when I SPECIFICALLY stated that was not what I was getting at...why do people WANT to feel as though they're being kicked?
Anyway...
From the relevant bits of your response, I have to believe your "success" in downgrade to lower version firmware was rooted in the fact that the firmware upgrade to 1.54.30.10 actually did not succeed. Sorry mate, this one's a dead end.
Still waiting for someone familiar with the firmware coding to step-up and help us out of this jam...Bueller?

That's my hope too, maybe the new WM6.1 ROM that we're promised will have a newer radio that can overwrite this one.

A little input
My understanding of this problem is that the persistently present problem radio version in question has a bootloader that requires a main bootloader (SPL) which can do a sort of authentication handshake.
Essentially the radio bootloader says "hey, SPL, here's some numbers...what's your reply? And if I like your answer I'll allow new radio code to be flashed. If I don't like your answer or I don't get one, take a hike jackass". The Treo SPL can't respond to the radio as needed.
To my knowledge an SPL with this capability has never been released for the cheetah. Ages ago when this was a topic of interest, I was told that someone may be able to port a hermes bootloader over to the cheetah that runs and can at least allow for reverting the radio. The hermes and cheetah are very very similar, with most of the differences being in address locations and so forth and whatnot and what have you.
There's only a handful of folks 'round here who could port a hermes SPL, but unfortunately they don't have Treos and are thus likely not all that motivated. Donations may perk their ears, but the developer not having a device for live testing can be painful for all involved. I used my device as the test subject for Oli while he dev'd the unlocker and it took a lot of IMing code back and forth and describing test results to him. I'm surprised he had the patience really. I've been stuck with that locked hermes radio ever since and it's been bearable, but HSDPA throughput is not good.
The Palm support tool would not be able to overcome this particular issue.
Is there a large number of folks with stuck radios?

I'm stuck with it!

Hi Summiter
Yes, I think there are a relatively large number of people stuck with it, judging by the threads I've been following in the hope that someone finds a solution. Whether it's enough people to motivate Oli or one of the other gurus is not certain though.
My device has better BT connectivity and louder speaker volume, but dumps most of my calls whenever the signal goes below 2 bars. Very upsetting for me and frustrating those at the other end.
It'd be great to get out of this jam - serves me right for playing with 'cooked' ROMs and such - but I love what these people do on XDA-Dev, and can't help but wanting to join the party.
Anyway, for this problem I'm almost resigned to junking the 750, and getting another device - maybe an HP 914c or a Treo 850 when they come out. I love my 750, but it's getting to be a real issue for me.

From posts here and other sites there appears to be a large number of 1.54.30.10 radios on Treo's. Though there appears to be a divide in those that feel it works fine vs those who know it does have issues. With that however, I feel the new devices on the horizon will soon make this discussion moot.

-
I've had a really bad time with 1.54.30.10. Lots of dropped calls, crashed radio etc.
So many times I had to turn radio off then on to make a call.
GPRS would sometimes show connected but not transfer any data and it would need to be disconnected then reconnected.
Also, battery life was worse than before (I didn't think that was possible, Treo is so bad already).
I don't have time to try all the options listed above for returning to an older Radio so instead I'm trying the new Hermes Radio ROM: 1.56.70.11
I'll give it a couple of days then report back. Other Hermes users are reporting pretty bad battery life with it - but if the radio is more stable I'll stick with it.
If you want to try it yourself, the file name is
HERM_Radinly_1.56.70.11_CustomRUU
It was rock solid (for Windows Mobile, that is) on the 1.54.07 and older Radios.
I'm on Vodafone New Zealand by the way which is a 900/1800Mhz GSM, 2100Mhz 3G HSDPA network. We should be listing network frequencies here -- some Radio ROMs might be better or worse on particular frequencies.

Gahh! IS there an easier way to update the RADIO?

GAHH!! That's it I'm SICK of not being able to send and receive texts from my office since I got my Diamond!
Is there ANY way to update the Radio without re-flashing to a hacked ROM?
I really don't wanna have to re-do all my settings and install my apps again

Ah well. Looks like its time to take the plunge...

1) do full backup of your diamond using for example SPB Backup.
2) do whatever you need to update radio firmware
3) flash back hacked/cooked ROM you are using now
4) restore backup made in (1)
after that u will exactly the same settings and installed software as before. but with new radio.

the process itself does not, but the installation of the needed HARDSPL does.
or isn't it necessary?

Trust me mate, just do it, and you'll have no worries.
I have the same orange phone as you on a .37, and I was apprehensive about flashing the Radio. I understood from this forum that it was ok to do this without upsetting the main ROM, but I was still worried I'd need to start again after all the time I'd spent setting up this little thing.
Anyway, I backed it all up on Sprite just in case, and chucked in hardSPL 1.24. I then flashed in radio .05, and I needn't have worried, it went smooth as silk, and my main ROM was untouched. The procedure seems quite invasive as you're doing it, but don't let it put you off. The ROM Update Utility is not totally clear about what it's doing just as you're about to hit the go button, but if you follow the procedure to the letter, it will all go swimmingly.
I'm now on Dutty's .07 radio, and can say it is an improvement on .05, and it's streets ahead of the old one it came with, especially for GPS.
You have nothing to lose...

Audio issue, please help

I did a search under "audio" and "search", and couldn't find anything or suck at searching.
I'm using the AT&T Tilt which I did the WM 6.1 upgrade minus bloatware and am running KaiserTweak. Other than that, everything is factory.
I can talk on my phone just fine and it rings without issue, but all other sounds are muted. The alarm only vibrates even though sound is also selected, no sound for music, no ques on my bluetooth (ie, "Say a command"). I'm sure it's something easy and I'll feel stupid, but can anyone help me out?
In addition, my display will dim and the only way to brighten it again is to blank the screen and then turn it back on (I haven't searched this yet).
Thank you very much, Peter.

I'm not sure what HardSPL is ... Noob.
I'm also searching to see how you install a new radio. There are just so many posts here that you have to search through pages of search result after search result to find this stuff.
I'm looking at going to the 1.65.24.36 radio, but I've read that you have to have HardSPL, which I still don't know what that is, and it says its the NIKI network, and I don't know if that means I can't run it on the AT&T network.
Confusing and overloading at the same time.

I'm looking at going to the 1.65.24.36 radio, but I've read that you have to have HardSPL, which I still don't know what that is, and it says its the NIKI network, and I don't know if that means I can't run it on the AT&T network.
Confusing and overloading at the same time.

Hehe
Hard SPL allows you to flash you phones ROM with Images other than the ones provided by your carrier.
Installation instructions in Post #2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922 You will probably be best with 3.56 version.

If the Radio is listed in this thread and is for the same WM version it should work. All the other info is where it was ripped from, it only goes in the thread if it works.
However, all that aside, if you have just upgraded the ATT stock ROM, none of that should be needed. Can you re-check all of the Sound and Volume options in Start>Settings and the Drop down from the volume option on the today screen.
Thanks
Dave

Yes, it's just the stock WM 6.1 ROM. I'm not interested in being a power user, I just want the very basic improvements. This may change down the road, but everything with the exception of sound works great.
In the Sounds & Notifications settings. Events, Programs and Notifications are checked but not Screen Taps or Hardware Buttons. When I click on the "Speaker" icon, both the device and phone settings are at max and on.

I dunno then, maybe another ATT user will come along and have some more help, sorry

Thanks Dave, I appreciate your help. I'll probably just hard reset it and see what happens. Thanks again.

Maybe the bloatware install was interrupted to early?

Absolutely a good idea, especially if you've just upgraded ROMs (always a good idea to do a hard reset after a ROM upgrade anyway as a matter of course). If you interrupted the configuration/bloatware install at the wrong place, that may explain why some of your sounds aren't working also. Try the full uninterrupted install, test the sound in all the areas where it currently doesn't work properly, then work backwards doing another hard reset and interrupting it at the 'right point' until your sounds are there but not the things you don't want.

The OP was 100% correct. He sucks at searching.

Hey m8 i have a same problem as U! I tryed everything but nothing. I dont know how to solve this one. I also tryed every fck version of radio and even original htc OS. I also tryed with hard reset but didn't help. I also have topic in General area - Sound problem - DEATH! so...u are not alone

Yeah, but at least I'm not posting stupid comments just to try to boost my post count.

Hard reset worked, so I'll just hope it's not reoccurring.
