Static on calls - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

After upping to the new LVSW I am getting a lot of people complaining about static on my phone when they call me -- any ideas?

It's not the OS. Try upgrading your radio to 1.38.
To get any realy help you need to tell us the following.
What carrier you on?
What city your in?
What Radio version you have loaded?

Hey sorry ---
ROM: 3.23.0.2
Radio: 1.38.00.10
Protocol: 32.71.7020.12H
I hope this helps....

I have had this same problem a lot with my 8525, and had swapped my phone aout twice while still under warranty. Now it has just started happening again and this time I am out of warranty! It is the same thing (every time) you have said - I don't hear the static, but on my end I can tell there is a faint buzz and that's when I know the other person is hearing it. I am going to try flashing a new Radio and i'll report back if aything changes...I am not very hopeful as of now based on past experience

many problems....

rom version : 1.42.00 wwe
rom date 9.5.05
radio: 1.15.00
protocol: 1337.45
model ph20b
im continously having problems with my phone so i thought it would be better to ask rather than keep messing around.
firstly ive lost a few programs one being "album" another problem is that sometimes i cannot hear the caller, until i soft reset. another problem is that sometimes my tomtom will totally shut down during a journey and also that when i escape the tomtom, it will turn off bluetooth.
is there anyway of fixing some or all of these problems.
or does anyone live local to me (heathrow airport UK) that can sort these problems.

Radio Rom 1.11.00 problems?!?!?!

hiya chaps, just wondered if anyone has upgraded to thE 1.11.00 radio rom, as i seem to have problems now with it.
i seem to be missing calls even though i have full signal, when people call me they say it goes straight to voicemail. as far as i can tell, this isnt a network problem, as i have 2 o2 phones and people can always get me on my other one, has anyone else had this problem???
Im going to downgrade back to 1.10.00 to see if this does shift the problem anyway.
joey. 8)
I've got exactly the same problem. I'm using a T-mobile mda pro with a Qtek rom
1.30.77
1.11.00
Sometimes the phone rings like 1 sec and then I have a missed call. Or it just doesn't do anything and I have a voicemail later on.
I've had this problem since the beginning. Used like radio 1.03 1.07 1.09 1.10 and 1.11
My battery lifetime is degraded to like 2 days now. If I disable BT it seems it lasts much much longer.
I'm thinking of maybe changing it to the original "new" t-mobile rom and look if that solves anything. I'm hesitated because I would need to reinstall all the programs again and I dont really feel like it.
I might just flash the radio to 1.10 or 1.09 so that I doesn't have to reinstall. Maybe I wait for the new radio
I've been using this radiorom for almost 2 months but I don't have any errors with it... maybe it depends on the network you use, too... (nokia or ericsson base stations for example, etc)
I have this problem with 1.11.00 after every true missed call.
why don't you upgrade to 1.13 version, already uploaded to ftp
I'll try it.
Thanks.
Update: I think it's fixed with 1.13.00. Thank you!!!
hi,i cant found on ftp this radio rom
Search in uploads.
Good luck!
i've always had these kinds of issues on all the different model pda/phone smartphones. i just get used to it....
besides it's usually my wife getting me tp bring something home for dinner.

It is normal that when you Leave your BT enabled it will deminish you battery more faster then when it's disabled... Don't leave your BT on for a long period of time, BT constantly sends a radio signal with a range of 10 meters, so everytime it's sending signal it will degrade your battery that is normal...

Radio problems with LVSW/Radio ROM

I am using LVSW ROMs since 26/03 version, through 08/04 until present 19/05. I also have 1.41 version of Radio ROM. Since I've started using these ROMs, I'm noticing problems with radio stack.
For example, while I was driving a car across Europe (UK->PL) few weeks ago, GSM module hanged almost every time I was crossing a border between countries and phone was loosing signal from one country and had to register in another. All I could see was little [!] sign instead of signal bars, and restarting phone module and/or whole device could help it. Two days ago I was on M1 from Sheffield to London and I've noticed that GSM module just died - pressing green button did just nothing (despite I had full signal bars), and people trying to call me that time, were saying they had regular calling signal, like I was missing a call. Besides that whole device was working properly, with no problems whatsoever.
On the other hand, I have no problems with dropped calls or data sessions. Looks like it is happening mainly on the move, and phone has problems with registering with network properly.
So there is a question(s) - does anyone have similar problems with LVSW ROMs or 1.41 Radio ROM? Should I downgrade Radio ROM to 1.40 or 1.38? I have HardSPLv7 installed, so is it safe to just use this RUU - ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/HERM_Radio_Only_1.40.30.00_CustomRUU.rar ? I've been searching forums, but haven't found much information on *downgrading* Radio ROM in particular.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Its the radio rom causing you problems. I've also had problems with data connections in particular using ROM 1.40 and 1.41 (in Asia, on UMTS and EDGE networks).
Suggest you re-flash the pretty-much proven 1.38 ROM. You can find the download link from the Wiki.
radio downgrade
I used the 1.40 on black 2.5 and it was ok , then I upgraded to 1.41 radio and I had problems with the sound quality so I downgraded to 1.40 and the sound become back good
I have HardSPLv7 installed and I am on orange IL Israel
I used for downgrade CustomRUU and had no problems on the downgrade prosses
now i am using the last version of LVWS with radio 1.40 and it is working ok
hope this info help you
another remark :
try to install first the radion and on top of it os and not first os and then radio , i notice in a change of battery life in those 2 variants
Were you driving too fast for the phone to keep up with the radio transmitters passing by????
I'm also using LVSW 19-05 and Radio 1.41 but not having any significant issues unless a program runs at 100%, then the person trying to call me hangs up before the phone starts ringing!
Ciao Oggy.
It's not the LVSW ROM.....! It's the radio 1.41 And this radio was tuned for Cingular. I am on Cingular and i personally think that 1.40 is much much better. Read up on the two radio topics for more info on the two. So the bottom line is it's NOT LVSW at fault here. it's the 1.41 radio...

Yeah, that's what I thought, but wasn't 100% sure either. I'm going to downgrade to 1.40 tonight and will observe any results...
Thanks to all for your inputs.
to be fair I think there is a problem with t-mobile uk at the moment with handovers, let me explain.......
I have a active data connection.........
phone is on 3G, everything fine
phone switches to 2G, data connection is still active, no problems
phone switches to 3G, data connection is broken and the radio reboots (scrolling dots ect.)
I can (and have) replicated this with EVERY radio from 1.27 to 1.41 (and I do mean EVERY radio)
I've also tried EVERY WM6 rom out there all do the same.
so I can only think its T-mobile playing up, its just strange that everything worked fine with WM5 as I remember (and no Im not flashing back to find out!)
Hi, I'm in the Netherlands. Just tested the 1.40 because 1.41 disconnected all the time. So far so good (5 calls later..). Downgrade went fine with the customRUU. Regards Bas

Interesting - it might be worth to check, but here in London it's actually hard to find a place where phone would switch itself 3G->2G. But anyway, I had problems not only on T-Mobile UK network, as I stated in first post, so I rather think it's Radio ROM related problem, more than network.
Sorry...I've been to positive. Right now only incoming calls come through. Outgoing is still a disaster. I'll downgrade to 1.38. Ill let you know if this works..
Currently in Thailand on DTAC, an EDGE network (all their GSM networks here have EDGE).
Radio 1.40: Voice calls were okay, didn't seem to have any problems, until I tried using data (gprs/edge). The data connection was completely unstable and unusable. Downgraded to radio 1.38...
Radio 1.38: Everything okay so far, EDGE data and voice calls.
Same boat!
Yup, same thing here with T-Mobile and the 3G/2G thingy.
Though I must admit 1.40 is pretty sucky anyway, 1.41 was worse.
Considering going back to 1.38, I've forgotten what it came with 1.2x or something, which, for its sins was pretty OK.
Oi! T-Mobile!! Sort it out before I head back to Orange!!!!
Actually, forget that rant, no point taking two steps backwards and starting to pay per MB again!!! LMAO

One more thing, which just came to my mind - in the original T-Mobile's MDA Vario II Extended ROM there is a file called P_rilgsm_patch.CAB, which could be related to Radio. Maybe this is a key for these problems? I guess this patch is network-specific - well, I believe this patch is there for a reason...
Btw, I've just downgraded to 1.40...
Error message flashing Radio 1.40.30
Hope someone can help me with this. I'm encountering an error message when trying to flash to radio 1.40.30. I have Custel 2.5 installed on a JasJam with Radio 1.41 currently.
When I run the update RUU program and click the AutoDetect button, I get a message that says "Error, Unknown version! You should pick SSPL".
I have HardSPL7 installed, so my question is, is it safe to force SSPL? Is that what it is asking me to do?
Thanks.
Nevermind, I think I found the answer finally - it only took many days:
1. Select "2.10 new..."
2. Tick "Is it HARD Spl?"
And then run the update as per normal.
where is the link to downgrade the radio 1.38
thanks

OK, but how to actually copy/send rilgsm.dll file?? Each time I have 'File cannot be copied' message, or such like... :-o
Btw, what happened, when you applied rilgsm patch?
i now get a "E" icon instead of "3G" and the radio seems slower handing over from 3G to 2G and back (thank god my stairs are 2G only!) I've sent you a PM on how to copy that file.

Like Below; Push mail + Phone CALLS problem

Hi,
like the thread below I have problems with my GPRS connection freezing. I'm pretty sure what's happening is that when the phone goes out of signal range (Unfortunately this includes several of my uni buildings) and then BACK INTO SIGNAL, the phone won't make a call and the push mail dies the death.
Interestingly, SMS continue as normal - so I have no idea it's happened until I try to make a call or check activesync on the device!
I've tried 3 or 4 different radio roms, all seem to have the same problem.
Device information shows:
ROM version: 2.50.00 WWE
Radio: 1.12.00
Protocol version:42.46.P8.
I've added my own ExtROM with my used programs in there. I believe I've tried radio ROMs 12, 14 and 15. I'm running out of ideas and sanity. Any prods in the right direction would be gratefully received!
I'm probably not the person to be giving advice, considering it was me asking for help in the other thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309365
Have you tried the suggestion from the other thread to try going to a page with Pocket IE to see if the entire GPRS connection has frozen?
Also have you tried other main ROMs?
My phone very rarely goes out of reception, but I'll try and pay attention to what it does next time.

Problem with Voice Dropping Out on Caller's End with TMobile

I am having major problems with the voice dropping out on my end. I can hear the other person, but they can not hear me. This happens sometimes right away when I make a call and sometimes a few minutes into the call.
The same problem is happening to me with every version of ROM and Radio Version I have tried:
WM5.0
WM6.0
WM6.1
I have a HTC 8500 Hermes (8525 without the camera) - ATT/Cingular that I am running on the TMobile Network.
I am currently running CRC's WM 6.1 with Radio 1.54.07.00
I get great signal and good data connection. The calls do not drop entirely only my voice outgoing.
I ran the network selection wizard and selected T-Mobile without result.
I have spent hours reading the forum and searching for posts about this...
Any help or ideas?
Thanks
where u located? what plan u on? look at these prior threads on the subject from a xda google search...maybe some help:

With using a Bluetooth headset or straight through?
Have you flashed to the EXACT factory ROM/Radio for your model and see if you have the same symptom?
Hi there,
please refer to this thread. might help you find a solution or 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352218&page=2
Main ideas is
1. Disable your start up animation sound
2. Do not enable WOW HD Settings on boot up.
I am in Dallas, TX using the T-Mobile Network.
So far, I have only tried straight through. I will give the hands free and bluetooth a try. Thanks.
Also, I have tried 3 Shipped Roms or Factory upgrades (Cingular WM5.0, ATT WM 6.0, HTC WM 6.0)
I looked at the thread link and went through all of my phone settings, but I am not sure how to disable the start up animation sound or WOW HD settings on boot up.
I will keep searching the forums' threads, but if you have some instructions that would be great.

Mine has gone all day and it seems to be working. I think it's the SRS_WOWHD_bt_fixed cab like wikiri mentioned.

The problem is that I can not find how to fix or reinstall the WOWHD. Is it a patch or a setting change?
With the hands free plugged in the phone works perfectly. If I unplug the hands free then the mic goes out or is patchy.
it sounds very much like my phone problem that i had. I use the mic and the other side couldn't hear me well, keep saying i sound too far away. Once i turn on the bluetooth, they could hear me loud and clear.
If turning off Starting animiation sound and WOW HD Settings doesn't work. chances are you have a bad mic and need repairs.
Thanks for your posting on the problem with my mic on the Hermes. It is definately the same problem you had. I was wondering if you could help me with how to turn off the WOW HD settings and initial animation. I have searched the forums and can only find that I should do these things but not how. I am running CRC's WM6.1 v.11. I can not find a program called WOW HD in the settings.
Thanks alot!
I am having the same problem except the conversation goes well for a minute or so then the person on the other end can not hear me.
The solutions given don't work for me and I never used SRS WOW.
Use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool to change all these settings.
I'm hoping the phone doesn't need repair. It just stopped working and when it does work is clear and precise. Does anyone have any other ideas?
addicus, I have had the same problem with my 8525 on Tmob here in Chicago. I think my problem is a combination of poor signal quality/radio rom.....I wonder how much this has to do with Tmob upgrading their network to 3G.

What's up Vision77. I believe this has a lot to do with the 3G upgrade for TMobile USA. I never had this problem until 4 days ago and I know my area (Southern California Inland Empire) is being upgraded soon as part of Los Angeles.
I flashed a new radio last night and it seemed to have solved the issue from my test. Chexk out my signature for the radio # and good luck.
All Hermes radios are available on the wiki or through CRCinAU's signature.
yea, I found radio 1.47.00.10 to be the best w/tmobile out West, back in Ohio, in Texas, and even roaming in Mexico!
