ASUS P526 audio problem - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello.
This is my first post and hope someone can help me. My p526 has a bad audio.
Often on calling when I talk with some people it is quite impossible to understand what they say, the audio is very distorted.
Does someone know how to fix the problem? I know other friends have the same problem.
Thank you
Giano

we have the same problem with 4 devices on 2 different carriers
specially when calling voicemail or other automated telephon systems

I have the same problem
The ASUS P526 has the problems of weak processor, missing the wireless and 3G, old versions of Bluetooth and USB, but the major problem I've noticed is that it has bad audio clarity when speaking to someone? All previous problems I can forget because the P526 is realy well done, with jog-dial, additional numeric keyboard, GPS, WM6 etc, but it's problem with audio is a disqualifying issue, unfortunatelly.

Same here
Sometimes it is impossible to talk and sometimes it's much better. I hoped the first vendor software update will solve this problem, but it did not help.
Is there any hints what to try to solve this. Maybe hidden GSM module settings? Other tweaks?

Here the answer from Asus Service Center
Dear valued customer:
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
My name is Christine and it's my pleasure to help you with your problem.
First, did you update your P526 to the newest system version? Please check if you have updated the firmware of Italy version v6.1.6.
If you still have the problem, you can hard reset your phone for a try, it is: Jogdial up + reset. But be aware that hard reset is like reinstall the system, so your personal settings to the phone like your own files and contacts will disappear, so please backup your personal information before hard reset.
If even hard reset can not work, there may be possibility that it is the hardware defect. So please send your phone to your retailer or ASUS service center, and I believe our engineer will help you to fix this problem!
If you have any other problem, please contact me!
Thank you for using ASUS products and enjoying ASUS services!

Of course after the update NOTHING CHANGE ABOUT THE SOUND.

Pda2k very low volume for callers!! Pls help..pls!!!

hi all,
Am using a pda2k since year and half now. Initially when i bought the phone when it was just launced in dubai. It had this weird problem of people complaining low voice from my side on calls. I upgraded to v1.12 and problem had solved. Then when i saw a recent upgrade of 1.40 i did that. The problem is back worse than ever. So i downgraded it back to 1.12 and the problem still persists.
The problem two way has been solved with the unidirectional patch. But this problem persists, i even opened thephone up but evrything seems fine. Am using bluetooth headset jabra and people can hear me now. But its frustrating to use the headset all the time. Pls help am really frustrated with this problem and am unable to find any kind of solutions to this.

thanks a lot...i really dont mind doing it but my only question is it is a software problem bcoz it was working fine with my old software...and other applications volume level is good enough...so how can it be a hardware deffect? Pls help...thanx.
i have this problem as well... i wish the links people link to wouldn't be always dead on this site.
hi and welcome to the forum.
unfortunately you bumped a very old thread, and the link in the 2nd post refers to an even older thread, which might have been deleted due to routine maintenance.
what exact model of the blueangel do you have?
what rom and radio rom are you currently using?
what network are you on (MHz)?
there can only be 4 reasons for this issue:
1. it is a user problem, there are settings wrong
2. it is a blockage problem, cleaning the device will resolve it
3. it is a software problem, to be solved by flashing another rom and/or radio
4. it is a hardware problem, you'd need to replace parts.
these solutions are sorted by how difficult they are, so after giving more specific information, you might want to start at the top

PLS ANY1 HELP ME OUT. 2 DAYS WITH QTEK9090 AND THIS ISSUES!!

Hello there,
there are 2 big problems i have found with my Qtek 9090 since i bought it about 3 days. Its kinda soon to find out this big bugs, so i would like to know is these are general people issues or they are happening only to myself...
1.- somehow after some standby time, i can't hear neither do the caller hear what im saying tru a conversation. This is solved by soft reset the device... also founded in this forum that by enabling bluetooth all time, this issue can be ignored and the phone works quite well... (stable)
2.- when im connected to GPRS, speak about MSN, IE or Mail .. and i make a call (don't iven make the call during 5 seconds) i imediately lost the GPRS connection and wont be able to reconnect to it ... i always receive an error saying " unknown error found ... try to reset the device as the owner manual indicates .. something like this... "
in fact i have to soft reset each time to get GPRS working again.. and im really sad by doing this all the time ... but i dont know if anyone else has this problem, please let me know any information that could be helpfull, i realy apreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Upgrading to WM6 Crossbow, (Please help me, i'm a total noob!)

Hey folks!
Just registered to the XDA-developers and my first post is here
I got an extremely rare windows mobile 5 pda-phone BenQ-Siemens P51 to my hands from my friend, whos father worked in Siemens during the BenQ-Siemens bankrupt.
Cool phone, bit too big tho, pretty cool functions, GPS, 1,3 mpx camera etc... But...
ITS ALL IN TAIWANESE LANGUAGE! Some kind of beta-prototype which works perfectly but splash screen is "Evaluation Only" . I don't think that this affects any way to the performance.
So i kindly ask you for advice:
Is it possible to upgrade this brilliant phone to new OS, English version of the crossbow beta. I've downloaded crossbow, tried to patch it with a program called ROMUpgradeUt.exe, but the upgrade doesn't end successfully. An error message appears to the screen, think it was #101 or #201. Im having problems sometimes with activesync when the phone is recognized as 'usb device' and active sync doesnt recognize it then. Some other times when i boot with usb in the P51, active sync pairs it and ican syncronize.
I Hope that somebody could kindly help me, since im not in the mood for throwing away hardware this expensive. I just want to get rid of the taiwanese language and start using this as a PHONE.
So please, if possible could give me specific instructions how to upgrade OS to different language.
Cheers and thanks in advance (sorry for my poor english!)

Need Some Help!!!

Greatings From Beautiful Greece ,
Before One Week I bought my first PPC , a HTC TYTN
I Would like to know how to unlock the gps. Is it possible?
I Can only connect to the Destinator with the bluetooth adaptor and connect to the satelite.
Anyone Know how to crack this? Is it possible?
Is there any new update i can install in order to manage better my ppc.
I Heard WM6. How Can I setup a new Operating System? Will It work or will my PPC Crash and after i will need Service.
Thank u all.
Odysseas.
TYTN does not have a GPS. There is nothing to unlock. (Well there suppose to be a chip but no antenna so its useless).
DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR OS!!!
A) Changing the OS without an official update from your cell company or the manufacturer of the device will void all warranty and you will have to pay for service if anything goes wrong.
B) Changing the OS on TYTN is very complicated and should not be tried unless you searched read several times uderstood and memorized all the steps.
Just enjoy your phone as it is for now because if you try to change ROM too soon you could end up with a very expensive paperweight! (Many people have)

LG KS20 NAVIGATION-BUG SOLVED(partially)

Guys,
For those that you bought the LG-KS20,propably you have noticed that there is a bug concerning voice announcements of Destinator or TOMTOM.
The voice announcements are cut off most of time.
But if you run in the background a windows media file (f.e an mp3 with no sound) you will see that the voice announcements are fully heard.
I was wondering if a kind developers can help us a bit and explain us why this is happening.
Best Regards
At least I made a small script to start the playback, then start TomTom and after closing TomTom stop the playback.
Maybe someone finds it useful.
Regards
Helmut
Thanks for you soft
i supposed it doesn't resolve the microphone probleme?
Is it possible to resolve the micro problem by the same kind of utilities?
Mouse007
I am the same one who has post post in the french <forummobile> which i was asking the sollution with the microphone.
The thing is that i test my phone yesterday through my office for 1 hour kai 15 minutes in GSM and 1 hour an 35 minutes with 3G.My Microphone did not turned off.

I'm sorry this has nothing to do with your microphone bug, but since I remember having similar problems with my old SDA smartphone, which were caused by bad hardware design, I would suggest to send your phone to the service center. Maybe some KS20 phones are having similar defects, too. I'm afraid there will be no software solution for this bug.
Regards
Helmut
Thanks a lot , but the problem affects all the ks20 when we're calling outside 3G reception
I'm sure the problem could be solved by the same kind of software ...
I had also this problem occasionally and my favorite PDA reseller / SFR (Vodafone France) representative explained that the same problem occured with Nokia 3G+ phone using SFR networks.
Actually the problem would not lie with LG nor the ROM but with the SFR 3G+ network when the phone is switching between 3G+ and GPRS. The solution - as recommended by Nokia France in an official note further to this problem - is actually simply to block the phone to GPRS (or 3G+ if always available) network (instead of letting it switch automatically) until SFR fixed their network problem. Of course, if blocked to GPRS, you will need to change this everytime you want to use 3G+.

Maybe it cannot set the Audio buffer size properly... this bug involves not only Tomtom or Destinator but many other GPS navigation software too!!! This phone is FULL of BUGS!!!!! I've also try Miopap (iGo) software but it can't run in fullscreen mode because of top menu bar that cannot be hidden; then...this phone can't run any software using directDraw, so there's no 3D acceleration, no PointUI interface, no games, no iGo8...; I cannot use Skype and this due to the Qualcomm processor architecture...
hope a new rom is coming...now this phone (as is) sucks...
@gregnapola: Look into other posts - there IS a already a new row out for the KS20.
Greetings,
Pax

Thank you paxman, I've already seen it, but they're only SFR or German...I'm waiting for an English one at least(10e or better 10f)...so the only thing I can do now is playing (crying ) with my 10c italian ROM...
Here is the dutch version of the *Fix* for the LG KS20.
I also changed the dummy.asx a little. Instead of calling dummy.mp3 times 40. I've now made that script to call dummy.mp3 one time and then it will call dummy.asx again.
This means the loop is continuous instead of having it end after 40 times (20 hrs).
Hope it's useful.
I want to thank lindih for the original fix.
This is a cool looking phone.
Who is the maker of this phone? Quanta, the maker of O2 Atom?

I don't know exactly where all the hardware pieces are from, but the phone is sold by LG and caries the LG logo. So I suspect it could be made by LG.

Hi I have downloaded the file and see the folders and files inside can you please confirm the steps required to install.
I assumed copying the files into the relevent folders on the device is this correct?. and where do i put the "MortScript-4.1-PPC.cab" file and what do i do with it? do i just install it?
Cheers
Darren (NEWBE)
