I have been having a lot of distortion problem with my Vox. So help me out. Currently I am using 4.1.13.60_03.18.90.
Kindly vote and tell your experience with different versions.
I never had any problems with 03.10.90! But then again my state is fairly good covered (Saxony). I think only like 2% of the area is not covered with GSM (and lately more and more with EDGE too)!
I plan on giving a thorough test of all the later versions once I re-assemble my mobile. I also noticed high distortion on 4.1.13.60_03.18.90 immediately after flashing. I am led to believe this was a small reason my ear piece failed, the distortion and higher volume 'popped' in and it would no longer function properly, heck, it could also have been since it was quite old too.
Anyways, for good measure I will be reverting to 4.1.13.47_02.98.90, I never had issues with the radio shipped from the factory and coverage was no problem. I suggest you downgrade before any hardware has a chance at being ruined.
h4waii is true. I have installed several radios and I have found 4.1.13.47_02.98.90 the best especialy for areas with weak signals.

I read your thread that you are reassembling your phone. I hope you will put a video guide for others too. That will be very useful.
I was reading through forum and I came across a post in which he had said that he pulled out the battery and put it after a few hours and things were back to normal. Well I tried it and I dont know what is the logic but it worked. Still echos on high volume but other reception distortion is gone.
Can radio damage your phone? Mine was shipped with v4.1.13.54_03.10.90.
@frauhottelmann
You have cooked a lite rom and it is not with latest XIP. Why you and Gonzo are not updating their Roms. Lefab also not working on WM6.1 Rom. Only one working is Hikey, and he does not have a thread here. I requested him in post but he refused by saying their are already too many roms here. Is it possible to hope that one of you will bring a clean Rom with latest XIP. New XIP is much faster.
i use v4.1.13.60_03.18.90
I have never noticed this distortion you mention
I can tel you why I never did continue cooking. There are three reasons:
1) I simply got tired. It is in fact a quite annyoing process. Espacially working on a 96dpi ROM, everytime you fixed something another problem turns up.
2) I experimented with OSs on my computer (from XP to Vista to Server 2008 to Vista and in the end of the week back to XP - the switching back is due to hardware problems) lol And cooking under anything else then XP is not quite safe and I experienced more problems under Vista!
3) Nobody ever requested a new updated Lite ROM (at least until now ^^) because people usually just download the stuff and don't report back unless there is a problem (you get sick of that too!)
Hey I will have time next week, so I will probably make Lite 3.0 with new XIP...the problem is that I don't have the Sys and OEM folders anymore, so I will have to start from scratch...

Hmmm you are quite right about the feedback thing. If you work hard on something it no one appreciates it obviously it hurts.
Well atleast I will wait for your new rom. I hope you do something about java. Add jebed or provide link to cab for you new rom.
I did tried your rom, I would have kept it but new XIP is much faster so I had to switch.
@tipu2185;
While a radio in itself can't really damage your hardware, issues caused by it can. Such as high distortion and crackling, this can ruin a speaker. With the right software, hardware can be destroyed.
I've already re-assembled the Vox after replacing both the vibrate motor and the inner ear piece. It's fairly straight forward. I didn't bother to take any pictures as there is a service manual which indicates step-by-step how to do this.

hey guys i flashed duttys latest rom and ive noticed when i record a video with the phone and try to play it back i get no video except from windows player, except all the pixles are screwed up its red and green and every other color on the screen any help would be great thanks in advance
You can try posting it at dutty's thread where you got the rom from. youll have more chances of getting helped there than here, cause youll only get flamed for making a new thread.
yea
yea problity but more people see the new threads then putting it under the one where i got duttys rom, I can't ever seem to get any help by doing it that way, plus whats the point of this site if you can't ask questions and use it is a learning tool. No disrespect to anyone lord knows ive spent my sleepless nights flashing different roms created by some talanted people.

you could always 'pimbackup' your mails/contacts I'm sure it comes with Dutty's ROM.
Did you Hard Reset your device after flashing? it might be worth re-flashing it nowadays people aren't hesitant re-flashing ROMs because most are UC compliant and backups are easy as pie.
Goodluck

I just finished checking the dutty's april 29 thread, assuming you havent changed your rom yet, we both have the same rom. i have no prob what so ever, so therefore it could be either the radio or check the rom thread. if you posted and no one is answering, its not that you arent being ignored, be patient as perhaps the other member's timezone is not as early or late as yours. here eastern time is 2:10 AM, i dont usually be here at this time but as you can see im here today. I have no actual need to insult your intellingence, as we can all see you're smart enough to flash/modify your cellphone. Just remember that you are the one asking, and not the other way around, therefore for some people being pointed to the right direction is a sign of hope, but for others it may not be the case. But whatever floats your boat, if it works and gets rid of the issue, then right on. if not i hope you get all the help you need...., goodbye and good morning from new york.
confirmed
I can confirm having this issue. To make it clear, I do not have any problems watching video files I load onto my card or phone. I do not have issues watching youtube. They all load nicely on TCPMP. I'm using the latest rom from Dutty (Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700) with the 1.64.08.21 radio.
I think the ONLY problem I'm having (and I'm assuming the same goes for the OP) is that when I try to record video with the camera, the video file comes out with garbled video and proper audio. Dragging these files onto my desktop, I still can't view the files with VLC media player or any other media player I've tried. (well, it just shows a solid grey box, but plays the audio properly). Pictures taken with the camera, however, are just fine.
So I'm assuming the problem isn't the player, but is related to the camera and whatever may affect the camera's recording capability. Possibly the radio (??) anything else?
I'm too tired to mess around with the radios atm, but if anyone else with the issue has any luck resolving it, please let me know. thanks.
I am using Dutty's Apr 09 build and do not have this problem. The first thing I would try is changing your radio version, since the camera will not work properly if there are issues with your radio. I would suggest the radio version I am running (see signature) because it has the best battery life I've seen yet, and the camera is very snappy/responsive.
i flashed alexes rom last duttys rom both versions the htc radios and the att radios same problem my tilt is brand new ive had it for 4 days i had a tilt before but the stock os was different than this one others are having this problem its not the radios or the phone it something in the roms that don' like the newer tilts, plus why would dutty put out a rom with a radio in it if the two arnt compatiable this is dutty were talking about the only time you should change radio is if you flash a rom that doesn't come with a radio and you have a problem
on the right track
there are different processors in the new tilts they are 7201 instead of the 7200 that seems to be the problem so far most everybody with this problem has had that processor
I've been using Dutty Hybrid 2.5 with radio 1.65.14.06 for months and all was fine. yesterday, i got no reception all of the sudden. i would get 5 bars and hsdpa for 30 sec or so and then i loose the signal completely for a few minutes. i did a hard reset...no luck. so now i just flashed about 10 different 6.1 radios. i either get reception, OR the camera works. none do both. i decided it had to be a problem with the rom. so i just flashed an L26 diamond rom. same thing. the fact that the the camera and the web/phone each work (with different radios ) makes me think this cant be a hardware issue.
Any Ideas?
You'd think that. But I honestly thing you have a Hardware issue. Due to the spontaneity of the first time this problem happened.
hmmm...
if it is a hardware problem...i guess i'll probably be going without the camera (its pretty weak anyways). still, it seems very strange that i could get everything working separately, although i dont fully understand the connection between the radio and the camera. this stinks. i'm also assuming that because i've flashed roms my warranty is void. does anyone have any other ideas as to what this might be?
JimmyMcGee is our expert in the discussion but i also favour your theory that its not a hardware issue because you are confirming that Phone or Camera work well using different radios and one of them get knocked under at the time... yeah
i am suspecting that you are using wrong radio for your roms look here
try official rom and how will kaiser react to it
if not revert stocked rom and stocked spl and Warranty will be restored check this
i had the same problem with one of Dutty's ROM last week. even flashed back to stock and had the same problem. i ended up getting a new phone.

Before i venture an idea here, i believe we need some more information:
1) Did you mean Dutty's 4/29 Hybrid v2 w/ 1.65.14.06
2) The list of "10 different WM6.1 Radios" that you tried and which ones got reception/camera worked.
3) Did you try a hard reset already, because you didn't mention it?
Typically the issue w/ the camera not working also means that while you may be able to hear sound on your phone, typically the other party can't hear you when you have the wrong radio installed, just as a side note.
If flashing back to a stock rom, and hard reset do not work, then i would take Jimmy's advice and just do a warranty exchange, as it probably is hardware related.
@Jimmy - did you hear that? "JimmyMcgee is our expert" nice to see someone showing you the proper respect
Serviced mine once due to this exact same thing.
One last thing you can try, go under band and put the first drop down menu to GSM.
If this doesn't help, you will have to service it.
It's some part that is made of lead that is veeeeeery cheap really
It get a little bent and they will straight it for you.
Happened twice with me, I eneded up changing the main board which was much better.
Then after 2 months of normal use and no problems, a guy wanted to buy it and he did.
Got myself a new one.
Don't worry if you are in warranty.
Do not forget to flash back the original ROM then Radio then SPL.
Oh, and Relock security if you unlocked it
Good luck
I would also venture that the Radio is not FULLY working, just partly, that's why sometimes the Calls work but no camera, and vice versa.
I'd say flash back to stock SPLs and Roms and Do a Warranty Exchange if you can.
Remember, You never flashed any ROMs.

I like the way you think...maybe i can swap my tilt to someone for their upgrade...now that it's not broken lol
Sorry for the false alarm fokes.
I'm going to just tough this one and keep it. If I have bluetooth problems...so be it. Compared to the entire phone quality....it might be worth the sacrifice.
Thanks again dysolve and benjimen!!!
why not wait for the htc rom release? I have had my TC for three months and every issue I have had seems to have been fixed with rom upgrades
You might want to word your sales pitch a bit differently
Kenjari said:
Well, I have had it with this TC. I have tried flashing a new Radio, tried Murata's ( I didnt try a new ROM cause I dont think it will make much difference). I purchased a new bluetooth headset.
And nothing has worked to stop the choppiness and static to my headset. I'm convinced now that it is a hardware problem. Its not that it doesnt work but it is just annoying. Maybe it is probably the phone size and the antenna isnt as big....whatever the case I'm done.
I'm selling this damn thing.
So before I post online....I thought I might offer it to anyone interested in buying it here.
If you need pics I will post.....I will through it up for $450.00

Your right benjimen, I guess if I want to get rid of it, I shouldnt let my frustration destroy a potential sale. Thanks for the advice.
dysolve thanks for the reply. I have done so much, outside of ROM flash. Have you had the problem I am experiencing? If so, how did you fix it?
There are to many ROM's on this forum, and I havent found a ROM that might address my particular bluetooth fix. I'm certain HTC pushed out some crappy roms but I'm not sure if this is a ROM problem or an hardware problem.
Besides, I'm trying to find this one post that has a list of all the available ROMs to see if the OS I'm using in there. But I cant locate it anywhere.
No, not a ROM flash: I want to completely erase every last piece of data in my Tilt and install the SPL, OS, and radio from scratch.
As far as I can tell, FrankenKaiser will do that, but it (in theory) only works with the radio from hell... which I have, albeit the "_patched" version...
I am trying to work from a clean slate, rather than flash another ROM... trying to clear up a problem that I think can only be fixed by such a drastic move... and of all the posts I've seen, (unless I'm retarded - quite possible) none has addressed such a move. Is FrankenKaiser the solution? If so, do I need to put the radio from hell on first? If it's not the solution, what is? Or is there one at all?
Thank you

This is possible, but why?
After you wipe your phone you will be re-flashing the ROM / Radio and SPL anyway.
If you do do this, make sure you read and understand the process (and what the pre-requisites are first).
Ta
Dave
Install Sleuth's V_3.0 WM6.1. I have moddified a version with Jocky to work with that OEMSBL version.
I will PM you with a link for the moddified FrankenKaiser, hey that sounds familiar, ohh yeah, Jocky let me name it!
HOWEVER, I think I'd try a few other things first. Like check the Radio Protocol. On boot does the red protocol version end in H or W? W is not for US & can create issues with 3G. Also, you can try using MTTY with my G3SPL MFG_SPL to fomat a few thing & to flush out Nand blocks. Many things to try before venturing to FK. I know you PM'd me, but I've been a wee bit busy, I'll make a little time if I can help though. Try me on MSN/Live Messenger [email protected] (Even if it says "Offline" give it a try, I may just be lurking)
Protocol ends in H, currently using the Neon 1.58.25.17 radio, I have tried virtually every other 6.1 radio in existence, and about a dozen different ROMs, including the stock AT&T and letting the bloatware install just for poops and giggles. But not the one that you suggested GS, what the hell, one more ROM flash ain't gonna hurt...
I am reticent to think it's a hardware issue because the G and H icons do appear, I just can't get a connection, and it all happened while using the GPS (LiveSearch and HTC GPS Tool specifically). If it was hardware related I would imagine that I wouldn't get the icons, it would just show no service.
Also, the reason I wanted to do a complete whitewash is because, even when installing a new ROM, I have noticed that certain traces and settings remain from days gone by (certain registry settings, POP3 accounts, etc), which I find odd.
I would be interested in the MTTY approach, a link would be appreciated... running out the door now to go play bar manager...
Sorry GS, didn't wanna seem impatient, just trying to get a wider input as to a solution, so I can (a) fix mine and (b) maybe suggest to others (a bunch from what I've seen, here and elsewhere) with the same problem, rather than everyone sending them to AT&T / HTC for replacements.
Personally, I think that the 3G issue is some corruption somewhere in the phone's firmware that a ROM/radio/SPL change doesn't affect, and - as much as I hate to invoke such people - the guys at AT&T that looked at it believed the same, didn't think it was an antenna issue (although the widespread belief is that it IS, and furthermore that anyone working at AT&T is a dolt - which IS usually the case). Far be it from me to be naive, but one would think that if this was as widespread a problem as it is and was hardware related that there would be a recall, which there hasn't been.
Again, thanks to everyone for their assistance.
So, I guess the next question is... how do I use MTTY to, as GSLEON suggested, flush out the bad blocks?
Again, thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
go ahead and read up on this post. It will explain everything for you...

No seriously, which way do you flash a rom ?
Just flash and basta? Flash and HR after that ? Have tryed with a different computer /os ? From SD card ? I had some reminiscent traces of previous roms if I didn't hard resetted after the flash.

Thought about it, but motherf*%$# Al-Qaida has made getting my hands on one so difficult.
I flash from a WinXP PC, have not tried another one because this is the only one I can get my grubby little hands on, flash / HR. Have not tried from SD card. I have had traces of old ROMs as well - I tired using PDAUltimate v6 and still had the splash screen from Garmin 4.4c... odd... that and other incidents of remnants of ROMs gone by.
You may want to check here and see if there is anything that may apply. (This is coming from someone that had a 3G failure.)

Well, that IS the usual behavior when the radio hardware goes poof, many people including myself experienced it. In the end GPS failed too on mine, as well as the GSM radio, and the phone was always running hot and draining batteries extremely quickly.
See the link posted by John.
The quick and dirty of it is....
1. The Icon lighting up means the radio and protocol is correct to talk on the correct 3G bands in your area
2. From what I have been able to gleen on how the 3G signaling works (not an expert here) it is basically GSM signaling for the UMTS/HSDPA Voice/data path buildup.
3. It is most interesting to go to an area that has non PCS band 3g, use field test to verify this if you want, you can lock your phone on edge and use voice and data 850, but will not be able to build up a UMTS/HSDPA connection on 3G. You need to go to a non PCS area as I have seen for the most part in Seattle they run the edge net on 850 and 3G on PCS frequencies.

Guys, i really need your help!
I've been searching my ass off on these forums to find a solution to my problem, but i can't seem to find one.
I have a Kaiser120 (T-Mobile, Netherlands) device.
I got it from a friend of mine, but the phone was locked to T-Mobile, so i unlocked the device, and flashed it with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618767
The ROM works perfectly.
However, i have no device sound over the loudspeakers (i know for a fact that they actually work, so it's not a hardware problem).
So i started searching the forums on how to solve this problem, and almost every answer leads me to the ultimate radio thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
I've been trying most of the radio's, but none of them seemed to fix my problem.
they didn't cause any other problems either, but that doesn't get me anywhere.
I can't seem to find out what radio is 100% compatible with my device / ROM, and i'm stuck at this point.
Would you please be so kind to point me to the right radio for my device and ROM?
I was thinking, i believe my kaiser was shipped with a wm5 / wm6 rom.
would/could it cause trouble when i flash it with a wm6.5 rom?
Also, would you please not just refer me to another thread with some vague answer? I really need a concrete solution to my problem.
I know you are not my personal army, but i can't seem to figure it out myself.
Many thanks in advance!
ps, i know this is rather a question than any other topic, but i don't know where my question should be posted otherwise.
Feel free to move my topic to the right place.
I had a similar issue. It's likely a hardware problem. Is your side jogwheel and/or some keys acting weird too?
If that's the case, you might need to replace the jogwheel/loudspeaker board assembly.
Does sound come out of the headphone jack on the ExtUSB connector? Or the earpiece on the phone?
Also, this would generally go in the Q/A or General boards of the device, but I didn't see your post there, only in the Android and WM boards.

thank you for your reply,
but no, it's not a hardware problem.
the jogwheel works, and all hardware buttons work too.
the loudspeaker used to work before the flash, so my guess is it's probably a radio issue, since i've tried another WM6.5 rom too, and it had the same problem, so the rom is for like 80% ruled out.
i have no headphones for this phone, because this isn't a regular jack output, and a mini-jack / mini-mini-jack switch is kinda hard to find here in the netherlands. as is a mini-usb audio output.
I can make a regular call over the phone ear piece though, so i'm guessing that there shouldn't be any problems with the jack output either.
as for the Q/A or general boars, i'm fairly new to these forums, so i'm kinda still trying to find my way around.
my post in the android forum was a mistake, i was honesly thinking i was posting in this section, but later found out that i wasn't.

Ah, okay, I see.
If you're certain it's a software problem, you could try removing HardSPL and reverting to a stock RUU which contains a radio and OS, and possibly the SPL as well.
Then it's a matter of redoing the HSPL, SuperCID, unlocking and whatever else.

so basically i need to try to flash back to the supplied rom, radio and spl?
i'll have a go at that.
i didn't flash the new rom because i so eagerly wanted to run WM6.5, so there's no harm in downgrading for me.
thanks for the tip, and i'll post my results tomorrow.
EDIT:
nothing i try is working. not the downgrade, not the radio version changes, nothing...
Since there is no solution to my problems, assuming they are software problems,
i'm starting to doubt whether they are actually hardware problems.
Since i don't feel like replacing any hardware because i have 3 other HTC devices,
i decided to give up and start using my Hermes again.
Still, thank you for your replies.
