recipient audio sounds like it's coming from space shuttle (fix on page 2)

I am having an issue where the person I call states that I sound like I'm calling them from the space shuttle. I had someone call me on a landline from my MDA and it actually does sound like a NASA shuttle call.
I've applied the registry edit for AUDIOGAIN:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN0]
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN1]
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN2]
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
The problem is present with handset, BT headset, and wired headset. Anything else I should be looking at? I'm on TMO USA, but I roam on AT&T and EinsteinPCS. Problem crosses all networks. The only thing I haven't tried yet is putting an AT&T sim in and see if it's still there. I don't really think that would be the problem since I can put my sim in my Nokia 6230 and it sounds fine.
Running mfrazzz's XM6r2a. Original TMO 2.26.10.2 has same result. Tried 2.19, 2.25 (TMO OEM), 2.40, 2.69 radios. 2.25 seems the best of them all for me. Signal sucks, but call quality is about the best.
Any direction would be appreciated!

yo
dude that's like an added bonus no? you can use that to your advantage say you've went into the space program
seriously though i've tried them all (i'm on ATT) and I stick to 2.25 here in the middle of the USA, I get full bars just about everywhere, i've no doubts that each radio rom has different traits with physical location as well.

Sorry, forgot to mention that when I do have full bars in major cities, the sound quality does not improve.

same problem with me... any ideas?

Can you elaborate a little more on "YOUR" situation. ROM version, radio version, what you have done...

Went back to original TMO 2.26.10.2 and problem disappears. Copied audiogain settings and went back to XM6r2a. Still no go. I am using the same radio, 2.25.11 as in the TMO 2.26.10.2.
Is there a thread about all the reg keys that deal with the phone/radio?
When I search on phone & radio, it brings up everything but what I'm looking for.
Moderators: Is there a way to have the system not search signatures? Many users have "Radio:" in their signature and it seems like it is pulling on that also. I have been searching each sub-forum individually and it seems like I'm getting at least 1000 hits per search. Also, I show posts, not threads. Thanks!

Same problem here. The most frustrating part is the audio on my end sounds fine and is intermittent on the recipients end. Friends tell me it's so bad I should throw out my cheap phone! I've tried 2.19, 2.25 and 2.69 with various 6.0 roms (XDA, TNT, Black Diamond and others) applied Cingular radio hacks and still have the problem. I had to send back the phone for an unrelated reason and it's the same with the replacement. It doesn't seem to be signal strength related and can come and go during a conversation. I don't think it happens with the stock rom but it's so painful to use I've only had it loaded for a few hours. Went back to 2.25 and applied the audiogain hacks above. Will let you know how it goes.

Problem solved... at least for me
Going through the registries of both TMO 2.26.10.2 and 5.2.318's, I found that the GSM codec is being replaced with MSG711. I'm assuming Microsoft's implementation of G.711, probably to support VOIP as well. Since I pulled VOIP when I customized mfrazzz's rom, it's not a concern for me.
I'm assuming that the people who aren't having problems are on a completely EDGE network, where I'm still on many GPRS towers. I don't think that directly has an implication; however, I'm sure providers have greater bandwidth going to towers that handle EDGE, thus the EDGE tower is less likely to go to full capacity, and can handle extra bandwidth.
GSM Codec: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-GSM+Codec
G.711 Codec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.711
Below are the reg fixes that helped me. I flashed TMO 2.26.10.2, then my modified mfrazzz, then applied the reg fixes. Echoing and Deathstar-spaceshuttle voice on the other end has disappeared, and I only had one bar with radio 2.25.11. Haven't tried other radio's yet, and not sure I will for a little while until I know this solved the problem.
Hope this helps!
Reg Fixes:

looks like it work, i just chang the registry like you say and i think that works
im going to reflash the phone and see what the other people say
tks a lot

*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
In the reg key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\07]
07 is the location under Active where it sits for "ME" after loading my modified mfrazzz and using radio 2.25.11 that's there from the TMO 2.26.10.2 original install. When I applied 2.69.11 for testing, it moved to 02. It moved the contents completely; however, if you apply the reg fix and it's not at 07, it won't solve your problem.
Good rule of thumb would be to check this registry entry manually to verify its location, make any adjustments if needed, then run the fix.

HTC s640 Windows Mobile 6.1 Release Date?

Hi folks,
Does anyone have information RE: the release date for WinMo 6.1 for the HTC s640? The Touch got its update a few weeks back, can we expect the same?
Telus is promising an update for RevA capability, I assume this will come with 6.1.

Im interested to know as well, been waiting.. and waiting... and waiting and getting very tired. When will we enjoy the upgrage?

Pretty stupid we haven't seen an update for the S640 yet! Telus doesn't even have any 6.1 Smartphone Standard devices... something that I find awefully wierd considering their promotion of WM devices and smartphone in general. This is seriously stupid. Even the old crusty S620 has the WM6.1 upgrade kicking around for it!

ya, new update came out.
and it's a wm6 update.
lol
nice telus.

I just installed the update on my phone. GPS still doesn't work for me; a Telus rep told me it would be included in this update.
No WM6.1 and no GPS. I am very disappointed by this.

quick update... I was able to get GPS working on my s640 using the instructions/apps found in this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36639
When using the GetSPC app on your phone, enter your HEX ESN in the top input box, push the left key twice until you don't see a cursor, then click the middle button. There is an "invisible" go button that the s640 doesn't display in this app... it should generate your SPC in the lower box.
I'm able to use both Gmaps and Live Maps w/ GPS now.
Enjoy!

I can verify Tatusmi success with his GPS, I updated my s640 via HTC's website, and followed along the instructions from the link he provided and the SPC program (after figuring it out it was case sensitive).
Good work Tatusmi, a feature that should have always been active now works.

I got the above to work )for a telus s640(. (although I lost everything on my phone because my activesync was messed).
But the HTC update to 3.0 worked great. The GPS enabled instructions worked flawlessly. I got google maps to find 10+ gps signals and was able to find my location.
but, I can't get TOMTOM to work. Won't find the internal GPS
NAV4all just sucks.
I am working on Garmin mobile XT to try it out - but I keep getting stuck with it triing to find a bluetooth unit. And it doesn't give the option to choose internal or com port or nothing.
any ideas?

nevermind, I got garmin to work.
Just couldn't get it to work automatically with some card id or something.
had to open garmin. go to settings -> about -> and the cardid is listed there.
once that is good, everything shows up properly.

I can write WM6.1 rom for s640. My ICQ - 731889 - write to me.

strik3r, I don't use ICQ anymore... can't you post here or use PMs?
Glad I could help you guys with the GPS!

I dont know about anyone else , But id be more excited to see Android on this device then 6.1 .... dont get me wrong winmo is a good plat. But Android would be killer ..
Ive been doing a little research .. and the Htc Vogue has a android version running and you can fallow the few steps to get it running with haret . well kinda .
Anyway just curious to know if anyone else has had any luck with linux on this device or anyone willing to help getting linux running on this device .
L8r

I've received confirmation from telus that they're not going to upgrade the Iris's rom. apparently there were compatibility issues, but i don't buy it.
I think someone should do this themselves, much akin to what seems to have been done in the other forums to other phones aka the 620. I'd do it but I really have no idea where to start.

I also received confirmation from Telus that this phone would never see WinMo 6.1, nor would any of their other existing WinMo Standard devices.
The line they gave you about compatibility is bull though, I called HTC about it and they said there is absolutely no reason why this phone can't run 6.1, it has more than the minimum required hardware.
I'd love to see a cooked version of 6.1 for the phone, but I also don't know where to start. I also don't use ICQ anymore so I can't seek out striker's help. Andrioid would be neat too, I don't have any experience with it... but anything is better than tired ole WinMo 6.

Well what a pissoff. 6.1s so nice. Makes me angry I didn't get a touch

IT WORKS on TELUS S640 with GOOGLE MAPS!!!
Thanks for all the information , I could not locate the driver that was listed in c:\windows\system32\drivers so I found drivers that work. Awsome, thanks everyone. Just a side note to take the phone out of diagnostic mode just ##3424 then hit "send" (same as to put into diag mode).

Confirmation on S640 GPS
i just want to confirm, so the s640 tweak for the gps, worked for telus s640.
i just need to confirm that once this is done, i would be able to use google maps to get my location using the internal gps of the phone or how ?
cause right now i am using a bluetooth gps to get navigation on my winmo. with out having to do anything to the Registrer or any other tweaks.
can you please confirm

I am wondering if you could help me in getting garmin to work on my S640, as i too am having problems with TOMTOM and GARMIN ?

do you have the REVA update for your phone?
and what have you done so far to get gps to work?

Caller ID acts strange on HTC FUZE with certain ROMS

I'm running an HTC Fuze on the Bell HSPA network here in western Canada.
It's completely unlocked, and I have tried a few different ROMs on it.
I have used the December version of the Energy "Leo" ROM,
Da_G's test ROM
and Captain's Special (current)
The Energy and Cpt's both use SenseUI, which I prefer, but when using those ROMs my phone's caller ID behaves oddly; it always inserts a "+1" before every number, despite the caller being local to me. Also, with Energy ROM the phone would give me a roaming warning when I dialed out. I didn't have these issues with Da_G's vanilla WM6.5 test ROM.
I'm having trouble figuring out what would cause this; I've been doing searches for about a month and a half but I haven't turned up anything.
Could somebody give me a hint?
And for bonus points, could you direct me to a resource that would tell me how to run unsigned .cabs, as I'm having trouble getting a fix for the tachi canvas scrollbar thing to install.
Thanks.

I flashed back to the latest Da_G test ROM and now the incoming caller ID is showing local numbers as long distance on that, as well. I tried changing the CallIDMatch value in the registry from 8 to 7 but the problem persists. I wish I had an idea of where I should be looking to resolve the problem

Strange problem with Speed Dial

Hi,
I have a Desire S on O2 UK, I was completely stock with S-ON and no root. I installed most recent update to 1.47 and this FUBAR'd the phone (kept dropping off mobile network and not reconnecting automatically) so I used the method from this thread '[UPDATED]how to root 1.47.161.2 hboot 002 (and possibly others)' to flash it back to 'RUU_Saga_O2_UK_1.31.206.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38 .03.02.14_M_release'.
I then carried on and used AlphaRevX to S-Off, flashed the Ext4 recovery image and used Gingerbreak to root.
Now when I press and hold 1 on the phone dialler instead of calling my voicemail it calls a fixed speed dial number that I can't change, bizzarely it is assigned to 123 and titled Buzon Movistar!! Key 5 is assigned to 112/Emergencias and key 6 1004/Atencion Cliente.
Does anyone know where these are coming from or how I change it back to the proper numbers?
Thanks

I flashed the pre-rooted Stock HTC 1.28 ROM and this has fixed the problem. Would love to know where those speed dial numbers came from.

I think I can answer this for you..
I've experienced the same problems as you, and HTC have only just recently started admitting there's an issue.
I'm also on O2 UK, but O2 is owned by Telefonica - a Spanish company. The ROM you downgraded to is likely to be the Spanish version and their voicemail code will be 123 rather than 901. So I would very much imagine the ROMs are exactly the same across Europe bar these few local changes.
(123 in the UK is in fact the talking clock, but I guess dialling 901 manually or assigning it to another speed dial would be a small price to pay for having your phone actually work!)
To date, there's no official fix from HTC. Downgrading the ROM is currently the only way that people have been reporting getting their full signal and phone capability back. HTC do not support this and are only replacing motherboards for the same problem to continue.

Nice one, that makes perfect sense but it never crossed my mind.
Hopefully they will release a post 1.47 update that fixes the problem-I'm frankly staggered that such a bad update could be released.
I confirm that flashing back to a stock 1.28 ROM fixes the issue (for me anyway).
Thank you sir.

My absolute pleasure, it's been nice to be able to add a slither of insight into what's becoming a major problem for many.
In the meantime, there's a thread on the Android Forums you might find interesting. Having less than eight posts on here I can't link to it but search on the terms:
"396171-signal-drops-completely-htc-desire-s"
..and you will find it. It's the latest place to my knowledge where we're being able to pool updates. O2 - and possibly HTC too - have seen this thread at least once and know it exists.

[Q] No Data [GPRS/Edge/3G] signal getting detected on T-Mobile HTC HD2

Hi there,
I have a T-Mobile badged HTC HD2 [That is shipped in the Black colour box]. I have hacked it for multi-boot - WP 7.5 (8107) & Android (American Android).
Android works supremely awesome. I can take calls, do calls as well as use mobile data connectivity.
WP 7.5, prima facie, rocks. I can call, take calls & do everything on data BUT ONLY in Wi-Fi mode. I do not get any data reception, GPRS/Edge or 3G. Now let me fill in the details.
- I am currently residing in India, Bombay
- My mobile operator is Vodafone
- My username login for the Windows Market is in the US domain
- I have put in the relevant details in the APN settings but still no luck
- I was by a Vodafone engineer that Vodafone India blocks data connectivity for T-Mobile, AT&T devices (Which is a joke because my T-Mobile HD2 gets connected to data on Android). Ergo, I put a sim of another Mobile operator - Tata Docomo, but no avail. Data still didn't get activated.
- As a desperate resort, I flashed a freely available T-Mobile radio - 2.12.50.02_2, but still no luck.
I have a couple of thoughts/conclusions & I may be right or wrong -
- Android works because its Open Source et al
- Could it be that WP7 is doing some sort of check on my HD2 & hence there is a problem?
- Could it be that on a hardware/software radio level, the T-Mobile HD2 is not compatible with the Indian mobile standards? Highly unlikey but hey who knows..
- Do I have to try every relevant TMOUS radio option out there (GASP!!!) & there is an assurance that atleast one might work?
I have not come across a single incident like this on the Web or in XDA so I am wondering whether I am a random anamoly.
Any help/pointers is a big welcome.
Thanks for taking your time out reading this post & a great new year ahead to you!!!!

From my experiences with flashing Android phones, this happens because your system isn't connecting to the radio properly. Its an issue with your install of WP7.5; you may be missing a particular library, or your system may be configured incorrectly. Since data works on Android for you, it definitely isn't a hardware issue.
I have had a very similar issue happen while upgrading my girlfriend's X10MiniPro: no data connectivity. It was caused by having an incompatible baseband for the RIL library that came with the ROM.

Whoa!!! Thanks a ton for the indepth reply mate. You have given me a new perspective on this. I never thought of it actually. This means I have two choices -
- Either flash a new WP 7.5 version (& Hope it works)
or
- Flash a couple of compatible TMOUS radios & figure out which would work best with my verison of WP 7.5
Having said that, Im surprised that no one else seems to be having this data problem on their TMobile HD2s in India. Or maybe I am the only one who has a Tmobile HD2 out here ;-)
*EDIT*
or (Oops! missed this while posting earlier)
- I may have to put in a relevant "rilphone.dll" as you rightly pointed out in the WP 7.5 partition.
*Edit - 2*
I recommend this thread on some detailed pointers on what "rilphone.dll" is all about. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481026&page=1

Important update!!!
After a couple of hectic weeks/weekends in office, I can finally heave a sigh of relief now that I have a couple of days off. Was checking the HD2 threads for Mango-related problems & BANG!!! Quite a few people have a problem on this GPRS/EDGE problem. The one common link is that all the people who are victims of this problem have their Radio Hardware version showing up as 0.0.0.0.
I have been seeing this 0.0.0.0 bit all this time & thought nothing of it thinking that this is a valid value.
Initially I thought the problem could be because of the T-Mobile radio verison not being compatible/or some sort of esoteric mojo that I cannot comprehend ;-).
But now this 0.0.0.0 is the common link (If other users have non-T-Mobile HTC HD2s). So well, what gives? Why do most people have no problems on data in Mango on HD2 & some unlucky ones like us are facing this 0.0.0.0 issue?
Any comments people?
Thanks in advance.
*Edit 1*
My current build is the 7.10.8107.79 & it is unlocked.
I had tried earlier the Yuki build as well and I still faced the same problem of not having EDGE/GPRS connectivity & radio version showed 0.0.0.0.
