Folks,
I have noticed a problem with the screen sensitivity since upgrading my imate with the qtec 1.11 rom:
The screen sensitivity appears to drop very considerably at times. More often in areas of poor reception. It renders the device virtually unusable at times.
I am minded to think that the new rom allocates more time to keeping the signal strong rather than having the screen retain its sensitivity. The reason for me thinking this is that I never have any problems when I go into flight mode.
Hardware keys do not suffer from any sensitivity problems and I know the unit is fine in that regard - ie, I have started using the up/down hardkey instead of the stylus when the unit is playing up.
Has anybody seen similar & more importantly does anybody know how this could be tweaked?
This is the only problem I have encountered with 1.11! Other than that, everything is great - especially the battery life!
Cheers
Marc
The problem seems to occur irrespective of the signal strength. I am about to downgrade but am wondering which element to downgrade: Radio or System?
Anybody else have this problem or can anybody give some advice.
Is there any way to change the priorities on the JAM so that it commits more time to the screen touches and less to other elements?
I cant be the only person with this problem.... surely!
did you install any software after the upgrade?
do you have the same problem even after a hard reset w/o insstalling any other software?
I don't have any problems with screen sensitivity.
Do you use any different software before and after upgrade?
I have managed to prove that the screen problem I am suffering has nothing to do with the ROM version - I have had the problem occur with 1.03, 1.06, 1.11.
It looks like a hardware problem. Good news in one way but bad news for me.
There are others that have mentioned slow screen response.... my problems started off like this about 2 months ago. Now the unit can go days without getting any response from the touch screen. Hard and Soft resets make no difference at all.
I think we need to get more people to comment on this...... anybody?

My immediate reaction after installing 1.11 rom/radio and then the 27 MB storage rom was that my magician felt sluggish compared to before.
I haven't had too much time to play with it, but yes, it definitely feels slower with 1.11.
@LeSkip: I use QTEK 1.11 ROM and my mini runs faster (compared to the original O2 mini ROM). I don't have any experience with BigStorage ROM so I can't compare.
@marcyspark: I hope you're still under warranty. Downgrade the ROM so you can have it repaired under warranty (Upgrading the ROM can void your warranty).
Cheers for the warning - I already took care of that side - thanks for the thoughts though. Much appreciated.
I now have to deal with the Imate UK service centre which, so far, has not been good:
1. After explaining that I had upgraded to the latest Official Imate ROM I was told to go to the website and install the latest ROM !!!
2. I was told to list all third party applications that are installed!!! There arent any cos the damn thing has had a new ROM installed and I cant get it to do anything!!!
3. The most recent advice was to hard reset and everything would be fine!!! Aaagggh!
4. Finally, I was told that a firmware update will be available to fix my problem which, as I told them previously, occurred with Firmware 1.03 and 1.06.
Bizarrely, the imate has come back to life after a few days without use AND I have noticed that if you press onto the battery from the back you can get it to respond for a while.... but only a while. Could this be a design issue rather than a hardware fault???
I have never pressed hard on the unit (for fear of damaging or marking the beautiful screen) but could it be that the chassis flexes over time?
Any thoughts folks - surely this stuff is for beta testers not paying consumers..... dont start me off on this one.

I have a MDA Compact running 1.0.1 rom, so I just upgraded to 1.11. All went fine, everythings seems to be speedy and nice.
The next thing I did was use my sprite backup to restore teh apps to the MDA. Once I had done this, the screen became very unusable and needed a big press to get anything to happen.
I have just hard reset again, and all is fine. Im now going to try reinstalling everything from scratch and see how it goes.
Its a software thing guys, must be.
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 .
Hi.
today i had a problem with the mic of my magician, bit that it's not the worst, now i can't make calls, it just end the call and i can't make it right.
i already made an hard reset and it looks the same.
At this moment i'm updating the magician, to the same rom
Can someone tell me a good rom in english or portuguese, i'm using this one JAM_Por_11205_122_11210_ship
i'm using the 2.03 TX rom its really good and speeds up my imate jam, what are the exact symptons re the mic, as i know the terminals can corrode and just need cleaning inside, have you taken it apart, there are good english roms on www.slipstreamsolutions.co.uk, just goto rom updates and the imate jam one is there.
cheers Mark
problem solved, can close it
Hi everyone, the great great great fourm...
I need advice from you...
I purchase S710 that was locked for some swiss network. The salesman told me that he somehow unlocked it and I can now use it on any network that i want....but I think that he broke it
First issue
-1- Battery life
The battery last 24 hours, I do not have TomTom, my wirelles and bluetooth are off, all power settings are ajusted to increase battery life. Dispalys goes blank after 30 sec. I even do not use it so much (2,3 SMS, 1 call...) whatever I do battery cannot last longer.
-2- Lost connectivity with GSM operater
This is serious issue. It shows full connectivity but no one can reach me, moreover when I try to call the call failed. Only reset (turn off and back on) helps . I have some old nokia and it has also full sinal and is availabe. Both devices are at same operator. All this brings the conclusion that there is something wrong with the new device.
It has wm6.0 and I serously think about flashing.
Do you think that it might help?
Thank you
Igor

Yes, check what Radio version you have, there might be a newer one. Look in the Wiki for more details!
Upgraded to Dr Gonza ROM, It was smooth. So far so good...
Over
It is finally over, I removed dr Gonzo rom and installed WM 6.1 Clean from fireburned. I like keep things simple so that is the why I removed dr Gonzo rom and I had some issues with tornado power manager in dr Gonzo rom....
So the improvement is 400%. My baterry life increased on 4 days, the reception is great, I overall impression is that this is the best HTC device that I ever had. It looks like ordinary phone but has so much possibilites.
Thank you all for keeping this site alive
