Just purchased a new O2 Atom and notice when I turn the device on (dosn't have to be calling or talking to anyone) that there is a high pitch noise coming from the speaker.
This device has the latest fireware 20060123B1WWE.
I would like to try to reinstall the firmware but because it is only new I can register it until my 7 Days are up. Is there somewhere that I can get a copy of the firmware for Australian O2 Atom?
If anyone else is having or have had this problem can help me that would be great.
Regards
Scott :shock:
You do not have the latest ROM. Download and flash the "Leaked ROM" on this forum.
Can you please post the link to this "Leaked ROM"?
Are you sure this comes from the speakers and not the screen? There is a faint, high-pitched sound coming from my screen.
I have the same problem with the sound, but it definitely coming from the screen. My device was bought in Australia with first ROM. I upgrade it to 20060123B1WWE. Do you really think that it's a ROM bug?
I want to send my Atom back to Australia to fix this problem, because we don't have XDA service centers around. Or it is not worth wgile?

Don't send your device anywhere for fix :evil: Just upgrade and yu'l be OK. If you want to know why I have both Atom and Jamin (causin 818 Pro) it is this sound you are talking of. Was actually going to bin the Atom :twisted:
In fact there were 2 upgrades available in February: One official, and this "leaked" one, which is the last of them, and best 8)
So, you bealive ROM update could fix the sound problem? By the way, if I upgrate ny Atom with leaked ROM, would I have a problem with next oficial update from O2?
The leaked ROM didn't change the faint sound I hear from the screen, it's probably totally hardware dependant. And I doubt that you will have any problems upgrading to an official ROM. Whatever O2 does (and I see no reason for them to make this difficult anyway) there will be somebody who cracks it. :wink:
So, what to do with the sound?!
If this "sound" from the screen is only heard when you tap the screen, you should enter the equaliser program and turn it off. That way you won't hear double clicks when you tap.
Otherwise I don't know the problem you are having :roll:
It could be from my screen. It sounds like a high pitch noise from a dieing CRT Monitor.
Also the link to the "Linked Rom" doesn't work.
To victoradjei. We are not talking about screen taps sound! When my phone is swiched on, I can hear buzzing "electric" noise coming from the screen.
To ScottB82 - my Atom also was bought in Australia. May be it's hardware problem. Why don't you apply to service center? There is a link to leaked ROM on the econd page of the topic. First link is expired.
Well Nick, I also had that sound before the leaked ROM update. In that state even your calls sound with echo :lol: I got that sound when I flashed the ROM currently on the seeo2 site. The original did not have it :twisted: Someone says the upgrade did not help, others say it did. Upgrading is not like remoulding your car bonnet, try it and reverse if you don't see improvement. Tweaking is what we do here on this forum 8)
I also have the high pitching sound on my Atom. I have the leaker ROM installed and I'm not sure if it made that sound before I updated my ROM. But it is annoying as hell.
Leaked ROM installed, but bloody sound has NOT gone! By the way, when I'm doing ROM upgrading should I leave SIM card in or better take it out? Or it dosn't make any sense?
I usually take out the SIM card, if I remember. But I have done upgrades without doing that, and they have worked just as well.
So, there is NO chance to get rid of this sound?!
Actually I have had a sound like that on most my PDA's. It's just that you don't notice it until you hold it up to your ear (in my case the left ear - the right one has tinnitus and can't hear those frequencies). I seldom make calls with the phone, to me it's a communication device. And if I make calls it usually means that I'm on the road, so I have a handsfree. I think that's the only total solution. On my old Blue Angel I had a much stronger sound too. This one I can hear from around 15 centimeter. The BA I could hear four meters away if the room was quiet! But I got that replaced on the warranty, and the result was a screen that made about as much noise as this Atom does.
How far away can you hear the noise?
I have one more Atom in my hand now & there is NO sound AT ALL. It's a pity we don't have service senters around & I can't fix my one/
I don't like being negative but the atom really sucks. I found a new feature:
rotate the screen to landscape, press reset. Instead of restarting, it starts to vibrate and not turn on. This continues until the battery is removed :evil:
I was checking out new pda's and the sales man was giving me the pitch on the atom. I mentioned that I had one and how it is the worst thing on the market and he stoped talking to me, turned around and walked off. To make it worse a vodafone sales man told me they may not be going to sell the exec that I am waiting for .
When my TP's loudspeaker is activated or deactivated it makes a small speaker pop sound. Is this normal or do I have a faulty unit? It happens jsut before any sound is emitted from it, and then shortly after the sound has finished and it goes back silent. Seems its when the speaker receives power ready to emit sound, then again when it powers back off.
Coming from a Universal (MDA Pro) the sound quality on the TP is very poor in comparison but then it is like half the size so it's manageable. This popping sound is very annoying tho.,
I'm using the stock ROM that came with it. I'm on T-Mob UK (it's one of the Expansys ones).
Any ideas how I come test / overcome / put up with this?
Thanks,

This is my problem:

Am returning to Expansys for an exchange.

My TP started behaving like this after 2 months of use. First I suspected a software problem, but after a hard reset it was the same, so smells like a hardware problem.. I think I'll contact the local HTC service and see what they have to say about it.
It's been 11 days since I left my TP to a local (authorized HTC) service center; they accepted it as a warranty covered problem and now it's waiting for a new motherboard. The thing that worries me, is that when my previous phone (TyTN; does HTC a have a little quality problem or am I just that unlucky?) underwent the same thing, it took a little over 7 weeks. Without a temporary replacement phone..
I am getting an Xperia X1 from work though, so I don't have to be without a decent phone even if the TP took a while longer.
This happened to me as well. After ROM upgrade my speaker have started to play "cracking sound" and "static noise" (sometimes gsm noise) just after playing something normal (like ring or nitification sound).
Has someone fixed this in other way than replacement? I have no warrant/guarantee any more
Same problem here!
I also have this annoying pop/click sound that recently developed after the very first long phone call I made with my HTC Touch Pro.
(for some reason, I can't link to my other post, so I'll copy the relevant info here).
Speaker (the speaker on the back, not the speaker that you put to your ear) emits a sharp click/pop prior to sound being emitted and a second or two of what is best described as "static" or interference (which is quiet-ish, but noticable if you're in a quiet location), then another sharp click/pop as the speaker effectively shuts itself off.
As well as this, the overall sound level seems quieter than normal (and my HTC TP was never the loudest device to statr with!)
This issue also occurred due to the same reason. I had made a phone call of approx. 45 minutes (the single longest call I'd made on my HTC Touch Pro), after this, the problem started.
I also got the weird battery issue, although the battery issue for me was that the HTC would be switched on and displaying a full charge, however, performing a soft-reset would show only a half-power charge when re-booted. I could then charge again until full, soft-reset again, and the same thing would happen.
Power drain seems about normal. I'm currently waiting for a complete discharge so I can fully recharge and hopefully "correct" the battery meter (I think the battery issue is simply a mis-configured meter reading) however it does seem related to the sound issue, which is far more worrying.
My HTC Touch Pro is bog-standard, everything stock and normal. Settings > Device Information > System shows the following:
Rom Version: 5.05.405.1 WWE
Rom Date: 01/22/09
Radio Version: 1.11.25.01
Protocol Version: 52.58.25.30U
Does anyone one know if this is genuinely a hardware problem that can only be fixed with repair/replacement, or is this an issue that can be solved with software or soft/hard resets etc?
Please help!
I tried everything I can do software so I think it's a hardware problem. In a few days I'm getting another cellphone so I will send my Touch Pro to repair service. I'll let you know the result

Thanks for your reply, Davka.
I'm starting to think this is definitely a hardware issue. I have since tried multiple hard-resets (that didn't work) and since I was loosing my setting with the hard-reset, I thought "what the hell" and flashed TAEL-ROM and re-flashed the radio (same version). Neither had any effect on my loudspeaker (ie. it's still clicking and popping with interference before and after any sound as well as being annoyingly quieter), but I am loving TAEL-ROM, though!
Please keep us informed as to the outcome of your speaker problems! Thanks again!
Same problem
I have a touch pro. And I have exactly the same "clicking" sound from my speaker when it gets activated and then a click after it's deactivated.
It's Click, play sound, Click.
I don't think it has to do with the hardware. I got it after flashing the newest NRG rom.
Gonna flash back to an older rom to test.

I have the same problem . You have found a solution for this problem?
In my case it was probably a powering subsystem issue and HTC service found some fluid inside my phone, cease my guarranty and didn't fix it :/
Has anyone else noticed, or had anyone tell them, that the background noise is extremely loud and distracting, when you are talking to them on your Raph?
Apparently my microphone/receiver is picking up everything and people are hearing even the slightest sounds.
I called my wife from the car with the music very low, and she said it sounded like I was at a concert. A buddy called me and with no music on in the car, he kept asking if I was driving with the window down, or standing in the middle of traffic... And then when I went into a Panera Bread, with only a few people talking around me, he had to let me go because he couldn't hear me over all the extra noise.
I was not on speaker phone.
Is there anyway to dial down the microphone/receiver, like you can on a computer?
I did search through the forums, but was unable to find anything.
Thanks for the help.
There is in the settings area a item for hearing aid and non hearing aid mode. Try to set it either way and see if it helps?
I'm having the same problem too - is there a registry setting for this? HKLM\Software\HTC\Audiogain is no longer there...
Chiming in with this...have had several people tell me it sounds like I'm on speaker or like someone else said above, driving with the windows down.
I've had this issue as well. I can't remember if I had this issue before I started using cooked ROMs.
What ROM is everyone using?
I'm on PROven 1.08, but I've noticed this with earlier versions of PROven as well.
J.
Yep - just wanted to add that I'm having this problem too.
Almost every call I've made without a headset- someone has asked what was going on in the background.
Currently running Elite ROM
I mean, I know the mic is on the very bottom of the phone, but what's the deal?
Hello, guys.
i had this problem twice: just after i buy my Raphael and afer i take it to my service-center. There serious men just make hard reset and that's all!
the issue hide as i take my pda in hands.
but in several days it started again... i didn't know what to thing - cause i was very sad about this ****en problem.
nevertheless also after few days this problem hide away and never goe to my pda again.
I did'n do anything with my ROM (RUS 1.90.411.3, Radio:1.02.25.19)
...and it's very interesting.
if anybody has the answer to the question: "Why does it happen?" i'd be very glad to hear about this one.
sorry for my english)
hear myself
I have a simmilar backround noise problem, but for what ever reason the speaker kicks out what the mic picks up, so I end up hearing my self more than any one that calls unless it is dead silent in the room, then I can hear the caller as long as I am not talking.
any tips on how to stop hearing myself?
same here im using ROMeOS conFUZEd edition...
Just to add that the problem happens for me with the PROven 1.08 and LantisOS RC 1 ROMs.
I've modified AudioPara3.csv and turned the gain and tx volume way down. It seems to be ok for me, but I haven't done extensive testing yet. Please backup your copy before overwriting it. Copy to your \Windows directory using Total Commander. Let me know what you guys think.
Yeah a lot of people said they can hear everything when I talk to them. Both on my Raphael and my old Hermes. Its just the mics that HTC uses are really good. Maybe not good for phone usage but really good quality and can pick up all sounds.
I ended up getting a Bluetooth with Noise Reduction, everyone is much happier now.
Same here
I've been going crazy looking for a solution for this problem, I was in a restaurant the other day with very soft music and I got a call and the person on the other end said that it was SO loud she thought I was in a night club (I wish I was but I wasn't).
I'm gonna try the AudioPara3 and see what happens.
If anyone has found the perfect solution to this, please post it. Thanks.
Backgrounds too loud
Just installed and the problem seems to be corrected, will try a couple more days.....
I have this problem and have tried a couple of the posted audiopara files - no such luck with this issue?
Any progress on dialing in this microphone setting?
thanks!

Silly question, but did you reboot your phone after you copied the file?
Yup. I occasionally get people telling me I sound like I'm in the middle of the sea with waves and stuff. When I end the call then redial, the problem is usually gone. Happens maybe once a week. I'm a fairly heavy user - the phone that is. Well not just the phone. Erm, can we not go there thank you?
Raph Elite Project RC3. When I've tried audiopara, I lose almost all volume from the speaker so I uninstalled and hard resetted.
I just bought an HTC fuze from AT&T, my tilt went down and i couldn't wait for the Touch Pro 2 (or what ever HTC phone AT&T will get next) is there anything i can put on it without having to hard SPL my device that will make it boot up faster and run smoother thanks in advance
flash the latest at&t official rom
then look at the tweaks... aka advanced config, diamondtweak
I just received one on Friday from AT&T as a temporary replacement for my BB Bold. I'm disappointed in the Fuze and may send it back for an 8900.
The TouchFlo 3D seemed to make the phone lag, I disabled it (didn't like it much anyway) and it seems faster. The voice quality isn't nearly as good as the Bold. The incoming volume is low and tinny, the outgoing seems to have a lot of background noise and people say it doesn't sound good.
Picked up DiamondTweak to see if that will solve the low volume. It seems to be better but I won't really know until I'm in NYC next week to see if I can hear on the street. Voice quality though still isn't good.
The screen is much better than the Tilt, at least it is readable outside. Haven't tried the GPS yet, from what I've read here it doesn't seem promising. Just loaded Garmin Mobile XT last night and will try it today.
Install a new AudioPara3.csv. I have attached the file. Extract it with either the built in *.zip unarchiver, PocketRAR, or Total commander, and overwrite the audiopara3.csv which is in your windows directory.
Thanks. I was reading about that today. I'll try it and see what happens.
During a call yesterday, I completely lost all sound from my One S. There is absolutely nothing, and yes I have tried the in-call volume! Speaker phone works fine, but obviously I can't just use that. Has anybody had or heard of this problem? Any suggestions I can try? So far, I have reset to factory settings, and updated to the latest RUU, no luck.
If I need to send this in to HTC, I'd appreciate some guidance as to what I need to do (I'm in the UK). Thanks!
Try cleaning out the headphone jack port.
Happens to all phone if it get dirty enough. Hopefully that's the problem with yours and nothing major.
Sent from my HTC AMAZE 4G
Hmmm no luck with that I'm afraid Headphone jack works fine with headphones in, took them out and gave it as good a clean as I dared, but still the same.
Pretty sure the phone is borked, I've tried everything I can think of. Even bought an app that bypasses the headphone socket, but no joy.
Could anyone give me advice on the best way of getting this repaired by HTC UK?
Just wanted to post to give a massive thumbs up for the HTC UK repair centre. Phone was picked up by UPS on Tuesday, and returned to me today. Not only have they fixed the main issue with the internal speaker, they've also replaced the entire casing of the phone which was starting to chip badly. Basically looks like a brand new phone! Very impressive service
