Total Newbie with Orange SPV M2000 Questions

Hi - great site loads of good info
Ok i have a few questions i cant seem to work out even after reading ! so no laughing !
Phone is a SPV M2000 on Orange monthly pay sim,
What is a Radio Rom ? - does this mean this phone has a radio built into it ? if so how do i unlock it / get it to work ?
My Operator version is 5.31.1.162 / ROM 1.31.00 but i have some problems with the phone - mainly when the phone rings or i dial people ..... basically we cant hear each other or talk, kind of like its on mute or something ? ..... a soft reset usually sorts it but it is really annoying and happens on and off ...... also the phone seems slow ? ..... i have slid the memory line over to 2/3 system memory but still a very slow i think ? .... ive tried searching for a patch that someone talked about but cant find anything ?
Can i upgrade to a new ROM ? ..... id like a UK spec if possible as i don't want funny things going on to the system in foreign languages !!! i have seen a T mobile one, could i use this ?
i have just done the sim unlock and it seems to be ok although i haven't tried on another sim yet
please try and keep it simple, with good links etc if needs be
Thanks in advance
Dave

Hi
Ill answer what I can, as im pretty new to this too.
The radio is not a FM type radio, but the electronics that do things like WIFI and Bluetooth.
The no sound issue is a well reported bug.
I have an orange spvm too and I had it replaced.
The support line took ages to acknowledge the fault, but in the end replaced the phone and this so far is working well.
If for you it does not, then by law you can reject the phone as having an inherrent fault regardless of how old it is, as it was not of mechantable quality when you got it.
The speed,
I noticed that even when you click the little X in the top corner, the app is still running, so this will slow it down.
Your best bet maybe to every now and then do a soft reset just to clean things up.
The Tmobile Rom.
Not sure, as Im also thinking about this.
What I want to know is , will this Rom give me Tmobile settings?

Hi Dave - Welcome.. Remember, we all have to start somewhere..
The first thing I would recommend is reading.. I'm not too sure if you've discovered the Wiki on here but this is truely the best place to start..
So, simple links:
Start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
A link from this page (titled Getting Started With Your Blue Angel) will lead you to updating your BA to where it will be of most benefit.
This is where you need to start thinking of what's of more use to you.. I, for example, have not updated my BA to WM2005 (or WM5 as it's more commonly known) as I would not be able to Sync with my Work PC easily. In other words, the latest is not always the best! You need to think of how you're going to use your BA and by trial and error, get to your own conclusions. Although saying that, feel free to seek advice on how others have reached a similar conclusion.
If a "seach" (top of the screen - Highly recommended :wink: ) doesn't reveal an answer you're looking for then a simple post with something like "Having problem "X".. Anyone else have it..?" is a lot better then "NEEDED - ANSWER TO MY WORRIES!"
This is outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534
My second piece of advice is to make sure you know what you're doing.. If fiddling with yor BA is going to lead you somewhere you don't know then perhaps fiddling with it is not what you should do. I don't want to see posts from you stating "HELP - MY BA's BU**ERED!" because you thought that Reading Wiki was for saddos :lol:
Remember - Don't run before you can walk..
Tip for Hearing problem - Turn on the Bluetooth and keep it on.. This is a well documented tip for solving the issue.. Updating to the 1.42.00 Spec ROM will also help too but you're right in saying that it will give you the T-Mobile settings.. What you can do there is use the search facility to find if someone has posted a .CAB file with the Orange SMS/MMS Settings
So, start reading..
Hope this helps..?
Cheers,

Hi Dave
Great response by Mr Philly and I wholly endorse everything that is stated.
I am also a newbie (I think this is my first post) and if you want to know anything, wiki is the place to go.
There is a newer Orange UK ROM avalible (Not as new as the T-Mobile ROMs and part of which I have used in my own update) and if you follow the steps through wiki you find out how to apply the roms and where to find them.
I have read in this forum on a number of occassions don't mess with it unless you are prepared to lose it and that must be kept in mind. That said I been really pleased this the usage and function with my SPV since making the ROM updates and my thanks goes to a number of very gifted contributors.
Good luck
simjo.

Hi Guys -
Listen, many thanks for taking the time to reply .... I have read a fair bit but was starting to get muddled up with all the acronyms etc .......
But i now have a more important issue at hand ...... i went out last night and lost my 512 memory card (bugger !) ...... must have un clicked out (i was a bit merry last night) ..... anyway ...... i went to use the phone this morning and its silent ...... no sounds whatsoever, no ring tone , no key pad tones , no sound when playing media files etc .... silent as a whistle .......
long story short i reset it (soft) first ........ no joy ...... then hard reset ..... when booting up it pings and makes a few sounds, so the speaker is obvisously working ....... then once reset its silent again ..... ???
But this is the really bizarre thing ..... if you plug it into the mains charger it all works fine, with loads of lovely sound !!!! ....
Ive made sure the sound is turned up to max and its not on silent etc btw
Time to read the forum i think ! ...... the only thing i did last week was unlock it ..... but its been working fine since then ?
cheers
Dave

next weird update !
after 2 days i have upgraded to the latest roms etc and the phone still had no sound .... i left it on charge for a full day overnight etc , still no sound ...... came to play with it this morning and there it is all working as good as new !!!! ...... lovely sound etc, all normal ......... go figure that one out ?????

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.
People just cannot hear me...i have to shout into the mike hole changing the direction of the phone...pls help....am really really frustrated..love this phone but what is the use if noone can hear u.!! Is there any solution to this?
Thanks a ton

Please check my solution here:

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

Speaker Always ON...How To Solve?

Hi all,
I had a dead HTC P3300, which i got it to be dead by converting it from Chinese to English rom. While flashing , it went dead, and after heaps of tries i have finally got it alive!
The problem now is that now the speaker is always on when i use the Phone.
I cannot switch off the speaker, and keep it to ear mode. Even when i press the "Speaker On/Off" the speaker is always on!
Currently loaded B&B3.0 in it. I had put the 3.7 too but that didnt help either.
Please help me guys!
Thanks a lot!

I would also like to know this, cause mine is acting the same way

Mine did the same thing. I suspected it was PhoneAlarm. I removed it from my Today screen, soft-reset, then added it back. This corrected the problem for me.

I havent installed any applications on it till now. its freshly flashed with B&B3.0.
Still problem persists, Please help.
Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem, can you please tell me how you fixed it?

ive seen this one another forum and the guys have been reflashing the radio rom and that fixes the problems.
check the forum here for the latest update radio rom and install.
Sucess.

Yes, upgrading the Radio part is most likely to fix the issue.
Regards,
Carty..

upgrading the radio rom does not fix the problem, at least not for me.
did any of you use/install the new t-mobile wm6 update?
cause i had/have the same problem on my mda compact 3 and the problems started for me after that update. also posted about it in the dutch release of the t-mobile rom here.
i started getting this fixed by installing other roms, no luck at all.
then i tried flashing another radio rom, seemed lucky but not.
when you install or uninstall any appz after that the speakers are on again for ever.
i tried all kinds of rom releases with the same bad luck, even on of the oldest available wm5 roms, and that wm5 was the only working proper, but when trying another wm6 rom after that the speaker stuff was back again
my phone is now @ t-mobile repair, cause after 2 weeks of testing *a million of different releases or combinations, the problem kept coming back.
so there went something very wrong for me with the t-mobile wm6 update, and it is up to them to fix it, cause the phone came from them and the update to.
i explained the guy in the t-mobile store exactly what is happening and the phone was fixed at least repair said, but luckily he knew how all started (minus the part of the good releases here) and did exactly as i told him "uninstall f-secure" and the speakers where on again, and i guess the only option is going to be a whole new phone (or empty totally fresh rom not touched by that that B&%tch of the wm6 update of t-mobile)
i'm thinking personally that the radio rom in that release has written something to rom that can't be overwritten again or at least in not a proper way, or that release did some to the rom in the phone that corrupted it.
but that is just some guessing from my side, but i have a feeling that my guess is not far from the reality.
for me it's now just hoping t-mobile is fixing this soon or giving me a new phone, cause the words of the the guy in the t-store where "that should never have happened and this falls under warranty for sure"

Hi Harry
i can understand you had so many problems and i know its not nice, but it is really the radio rom that is at fault, please read this Dutch forum, they have posted this problem a lot and the radio had reported to fix the problem.
link to site is http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1257926
as for me i dont have the problem, never did, just picking info up from site and trying to help others.
good luck with your phone and i hope you get a repair or a new one back.
fijn weekend

That did happen to me when I used AudioNotes to record calls through speakerphones, and got fixed after I unchecked that option from the software. You could use Resco Audio recorder instead.

@ neil H
that topic is one of my daily views, but also could not find the answer over there.
guess that in my case there went something terribly wrong, and also hope T-mobile will fix it soon, cause can't stand being back on my over aged motorola
jij ook een fijn weekend, nu hopen dat de zon gaat schijnen in NL

HTC desire radio problem with r5 root

Hay there,
a week a go i rooted my phone with the r5 root using the guide at theunlockr.
now it seems that i have som difficulties with calling and people calling me ( might be sms also)
Sometimes when i call someone it goes for around a sec ( cant even hear the *biiiip* sound.) and then the phone spits out a tiny *pip* just like someone is hanging up on you. I know that the person doesnt hang up. ive tested it with 2 phones.
other times it says that the number i am calling is not in use.
does anyone else have the same problems ?
How can i totally reset my phone to default ? Will there be a warranty problem if i send it in ? since software change is in the picture.
if you guys needs more info just ask

You've posted in the wrong sub forum. Go HERE and you should get the help you need. As far as i can work out if you go to the thread in there with the Generic official roms (Its one of the stickied threads) and pick the one your phone came with and use that it will put it back to as it came and unrooted, and so should be good for warranty.
One other thing. Are you sure its not a network or sim card problem problem?

My defy is gone to meet his maker

Well, I thought I'd let you guys know, my defy went to the official motorola service, now, before someone starts posting "room full of people who cares" pics, I'll tell you what where it's symptoms and maybe you can tell me if any had any similar issues.
A little background:
I'm in Argentina, and I got my defy from "Personal" ( that's the carrier) which has a 2.2.1 rom ( if I'm not wrong )
I used it for a bit and it was working so well that I didn't feel the need to mess with it.
Then, I started missing some stuff and I decided to install CM7 (rc1, v2), to see how it performed.
All good, for a while, but then, the following started happening:
- 5~8 times out of ten, sms's wouldn't go out ( and I had to re-send them until they did )
- I got delays on getting messages, and on other people receiving them.
- Sometimes I wouldn't get to answer a call, just got a "missed call notification SMS"
- Sometimes calls would drop when answering them
- FM radio started being CRAP, and getting either stuck on, or wouldn't turn on after being interrupted by other notifications.
- frecuent freezing .
I guessed it was CM7, so, deceided to get back to stock, and maybe rooting, just for kicks.
I went back to stock, but the problems kept happening.
And that's why I sent it to service.
Anyone got any similar issues?

I wounder if you had forgot ‘full wipe’?

This sounds like an intermittent connection somewhere in the phone hardware.

lol, of course I did wipe, I didn't got into GREAT detail of everything i did because it would be WAY to boring, but, I did tried a lot of stuff before sending it back.
I kind of know my way around android, but I don't blame you for asking, I've seen a lot of uninformed posts around here ( nothing wrong with that, not everyone has time, the patience, or the interest to spend HOURS figuring stuff out, and learning about android )

Yup, I also thought it could be either a SEVERE overage problem ( like a signal black hole in my apartment) , or a defective sim card , but I'm using my old HTC G1 for now, and it's working great, so, both of those are out.

Maybe ,your phone’s baceband does not fit for the sevice,download some app to change the baseband.
Many peope have the same problem reflected by forum in my conutry as far as i know. Most of them solve the problem by changing baceband.
(My english is so bad...but I really want to help you.)

If the baseband was incorrect, it wouldn't get signal at all.
Plus, the phone was bought in argentina, so the argentina stock rom for the carrier HAS the right baseband, and I still got issues.
I have no other explanation for it than faulty hardware.
Thanks, though, I know you're trying to help ; )
