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:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\07]
"Hnd"=dword:0003EBC0

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.

Dutty V3 + RADIO ... 3G failure

Hi guys,
I've got an AT&T branded HTC 8900 (tytn II, kaiser, what else).
Using it in Italy, with 3G provider (Wind).
I've updated it with Dutty V3. and radio i tried 1.27.12.11, -.17, -11.31... and my 3G (neither GPRS) connection doesn't work. When i try to connect the modem suddenly i get the “The answering modem has disconnected” than the “There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in to your registered home network” messages.
Before the update, the modem had worked fine with 3G connection, with original AT&T ROM.
Any suggestion?
TNX
ALEX

I also have a problem with duttys v3 and 3g. I wrote about it in a diffrent thread already. i can make a connection but there is a certain "lag" when i try to request data from the internet. No Problems on GPRS though. Tried all the diffrent radio roms. no change. Operator is O2 Germany device is a HTC Tytn II. I got a new Sim card today, maybe this will improve the situation. The Sim has a diffrent contact-layout. Will try tonight.
I have the suspicion that S2U2 might cause the problem, but I am not sure. Do you use S2U2? If yes, what version?

No problems here, try delete all settings which auto connections done, delete all proxys reset and enter manual settings to see if it works then

Did you try disabling HSDPA?

Fixed!

I guess it was just a f#cking hidden setting!
Even if I removed all connection setting, it kept not working...
I've installed the removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522 cab, ( http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/ -> Kaiser Cab Collections )run, and after that it works fine!!
TNX!!
PS. HSPDA still enabled.
PPS. RADIO is again 1.27.11.31

Thanks Dutty! I tried your suggestion. I think it's a little better now but I still think the connection was more responsive in No.7 Rom. For example, when I log on to ICQ with IM+ it used to go straigt to a green "connected" icon. With v3 i get a yellow "connecting" icon for about 15 seconds and then the green one.
My new Sim card just got activated, but made no difference.
It's not that big of a deal for me, as my connection basicaly works.
I will test connection stabilty in he next couple of days.
Other than that v3 is great!! Thank you Dutty!
Are you planning on releasing a new Rom anytime soon?
Have a nice relaxing weekend Dutty!

Sweet!!!, I was having problems not being able to access the internet via PIE, but could using Opera...it was driving me Bonkers!!. This worked..
However, i'm still not able to access tom tom plus server!!, any ideas?

Hi! I reflashed v3 and everything seemed fine again. However I now have a problem where I can't call or receive calls when on UMTS. All is fine when I am on GSM.
I tried Alex's Multimedia Rom (1.56)...same story there.
I now flashed the HTC Rom that came with my Tytn II and so far (2 hours including several test calls) everything seems normal again. Will try to flash v3 again maybe tonight.
Starting to see everything in tricolor ;-)
Greetings from Aachen, Germany

Nope problems catched up again...does anybody know, if it is better to remove the sim and/or turn off the phone radio before flashing radio roms?
Thanks! Brevi

Dear all,
maybe this is the same problem?

Is the hidden proxy also installed in a vodafone Rom?
Thnx Max

sounds familar
hi,
please see other posts by me(any way to link these threads moderators?) for other threads with similar issues. To clarify, if you revert back to your original rom, your 3G and phone calls work again? I started having problems with my 3G and phone functions about a week after I got my AT&T tilt..but after I changed to one of dutty's roms.
If I disable 3G via the comm manager, all works well, voice and data etc, but I can only do edge speeds. Unfortunately, I live 15 miles from the nearest 3G area so its hard fo me to experiment with roms and settings.
Also, to confuse things even more, one 3G area will still work for me while the network closer into to the Boston metro area won't, leading me to think that a network provisioning upgrade in the Boston area may be looking for something in the original AT&T rom that is now gone. I'm hoping not and that a phone upgrade or mother board swap will fix it(as others are reporting). I should do a revert back to the original rom and drive to my "test" area and see if 3G comes back...that would suck if it does...the stock roms are awful and about 5 years behind the time as far as user interface...like my old Ipaq.
I really like the dutty roms and may just live with edge speeds(dutty a donation will be forth coming once I settle in on a solution dude ).

I guess I tried everything by now...diffrent roms including HTC stock rom, radios, flashing radio with sim in/out.
But the problem always comes back.
About to call HTC support and send my Kaiser in for repair.
Hope it won't take too long, I am addicted to this fine device.
Already charged my old Hermes today. Oh my god the Kaiser is sooo much better compared to the Hermes it almost made me laugh ;-)

How wieeerd: UK T-MOBILE 3G/1.64.08.21

First of all shout out to Dutty for producing his WM6.1 official ROM, its the BOMB...
On to my wieeerd 3G problem. When my phone is on 3G it take numerous attempts to make a outgoing call and my internet just does not work - the 2 dancing arrows dance, Connecting box appears, times out and says "cannot connect for unknow reason" - This never had this problem on the stock WM 6. So I have left my phone on normal G which is the only way i can get on the internet... My friend just got a Kaizer (T mobile also) Kaizer with stock WM6 (1.27.12.32). We both launching IE, his boring fart rom went straight to "H" and was browsing at lightening fast speeds standing right next to me!! I on the other hand could not get on the net without droping my Kaizer to G from Comms Manager.
Does this mean the mobile carrier is not at fault?? or is a combination? I had internet troubles in other areas too with my kaiser in its current config with the same issue so it cannot be area specific...
I have tried the other 2 radios WM6.1 radios (1.58.26.20/1.64.06.04) with the same result, reflashing radios, reflashing 6.1ROMs (not forgetting to HARD RESET as per best practice) but I am loosing the plot here i dont know what else to try other than downgrade.....
I have searched on XDA and not found anything dont know what to do... any help much appreciated

Help! messed up radio upgrade.

Hi,
I have a Tilt 8900 (w/o camera), with the latest AT&T ROM installed (w/o the customizations).
I successfully performed HARD SPL and verified this by entering bootloader.
I then downloaded the French radio fron the radio thread (this radio was reported to work well in my area) and successfully installed it (or so it seemed late last night).
The ZIP file I donwloaded from XDA included an RUU exe file and an NBH file (I think).
I extracted both files to my hard disk, ran the EXE file (its screens look awfully similar to the HARD SPL screens) and the installation went smoothly and quickly, including the final SR.
My Tilt returned to normal functioning (or so it seemed), ie various apps which I used - worked perfectly, and it also synched w/o any problems to my PC.
But then on the way to work I suddenly found that I had no sounds at all, in any app.
Following advice, I performed an HR from start-settings-clear temp, and this did not help (the Tilt still functioned well, though, and I could execute all apps).
I then performed a regular HR (by holding both soft key buttons and pressing the SR).
The HR went well, including screen alignment, date & time setup, etc. Then the phone showed the AT&T animation and the screen where the radio and ROM versions are shown, and then - WHAM- the screen went black!
I pressed the Power button, and the screen I received is filled with colored dots (as if it shows a 3d picture or something), and I obviously can't do anything further.
I repeated this procedure several times, nothins has changed.
I also took out the battery for about 1/2 an hour, no luck.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Thank you.

What ROM and Radio are you using WM6 or WM 6.1?
If you have just flashed a 6.1 Radio and are not using a 6.1 ROM (or vice versa) you will have no sound.
Have a look at the Kaiser Radio link in my sig it will tell you the Radio Compatability with the OS.
Try flashing another radio, if you can't boot flash from the Bootloader Screen.
Thanks
Dave

If I read your post correctly, and you installed a new Radio ROM but did NOT install an OS ROM, then that is your problem.
The newer AT&T-based ROMs require a matching Radio in order for the sound and camera (n/a in your case) to work. If you want to keep your new Radio, you will need to change your OS ROM also.

Hi Dave,
I have WM6 with the latest AT&T ROM.
The radio I flashed is compatible with WM6 (it's the French radio), but it might not be compatible with the AT&T ROM.
Meanwhile I discovered that I CAN enter bootloader mode, so hopefully this is a recoverable situation.
I understand that I need to enter bootloader mode on the Tilt, enter AS on my desktop PC, in AS I need to remove the checkmark from connections-allow USB connections, connect the Tilt to the sync cable amd then run the RUU EXE file in order to try and reflash the previous radio. Is this correct?
Last, if this fails as well, would I be able to reflash the updated ROM (after entering bootloader mode)?
Anything else I need to do so that I don't totally brick my Tilt?
Thanks.

The times I've flashed through bootloader (and there have been a few!) I've never bothered disabling Activesync - just connect the phone to the USB and run KaiserRUU.exe. It takes a few extra seconds on the "Verifying Info on your device" screens, and then comes up blank in the "Current ROM" section, but I've never had anything fail to flash yet.

I was not aware of this

So this means that I need to revert to my original configuration (ie the updated AT&T ROM) and keep it that way?
I wanted to improve the radio reception, since inside my house I have virtually no reception. And I read several reports in our local PDA forum that this specific radio does improve things.
Also my GPS lost too many times the GPS signal (all of this did not happen with my HW6910).

Thank you.

If you want to use the other radio, you need to flash a non-AT&T ROM to your device. This is a very simple process, and there are many different ROMs to choose from.
What is the radio version that you want to use? This way I can suggest several upgrade options that will be compatible with it.

It seems that the french radio might be suitable
But basically, at the moment I prefer to stay with the standard AT&T ROMs, minus the customizations.
I read through the Kaiser radios thread. Several radios are non-optional since they are only for WM6.1. Other radios are older than the one that came with the newest AT&T ROM (can't remember the ROM version).
I do understand that the radio selection process is somewhat a trial and error process, but I'm concerned that I might have some serious problem while trying, and I don't really have that much time to play with this. And as it is, I still don't know that I'm out of the woods with my current problem.

I'm sorry, I totally missed the part about the colored dots showing up on your Tilt after the last HR. Are you still having this issue, or is the phone booting correctly and you just have no sound?

Same Problem
I have the same issue. After the flash I tried, I see colored dots once I tried RUU. After that when I reboot, I just see a blank screen. I see that AS is happening.
Before the flash it wasR 1.27.14.09. Now it is 1.27.12.11
How do I fix the colored dots issue?

everything OK now.....
I reflashed the original radio, as per the instructions here, and now the phone is fully functional again (emails, phone, WIFI, GPS....).
I must admit I was quite worried for several hours, and couldn't wait to return home.
Further, it turns out I've grown quite dependent upon my Tilt...
Last, the signal strength issues haven't gone away, obviously, and I've yet to find the proper radio.
Many thanks to all the helpful people here.
By the way, I'm still curious regarding the reason for the colored dots on the screen.

Until I reflashed the orgiinal radio,

Until I reflashed the orgiinal radio, all I had were the colored dots.
Following the initial french radio flash, and prior to the full HR, I did not have sound, bout the phone was fully functional.
After I performed the full HR (both soft keys + SR) - I received the colored dots screen, which rendered the phone unusable.

I have this same problem and can't get in bootloader mode!!
Any help!!

Problem with Windows Mobile 6.1 official upgrade

hi,
i've a big big problem. i made the official upgrade to WM6.1 for my tytn II (italian) but once finished it was set under HSDPA. I disabled HSDPA and i turned to 3G.
with the old rom (official wm6) i disabled 3G by setting GSM following this path:
Comm manager -> options -> phone -> banda (i don't know the english translation, i think is band). under that panel i selected GSM and the phone turned to GSM, with G icon in the home screen
if i do the same thing with the new rom the phone freeze, and 10-15 seconds after a message says: cant switch band, try later.
i tried many times but the problem remains, i also tried to install the rom update again and again.
can you help me? 3G doesn't work fine where i live, so it's important to set GSM
someone told me that changing the radio rom (it has the original one) can solve the problem, can you give me some advice?
thanks

Same thing happened to me, restarted and tried again and it worked.

different radios yeild different signal strengths depending on location. try different wm6.1 radios and see if there is one that gives you better connection strength. go here for a list of radios:
