Hi,
I own a QTEK 2020 same as the xda 2 and imate and unforunately one day i tried playing mp3s and the in built speaker blew or something. There is a wierd humming sound and the bass is distorted. I am in canada and this phone is not available here, niether am i covered by any warranty, is there any home brew solution or any where i can send it to be repaired and if so how much damage am I looking at?
Anyone figured out the patch,fix,mod to get the sound from the xda2 (gps prompts) to output thru the car kit speaker, or the radio output???
Anyone with the original xda2 car kit will know what I am talking about.
:shock:
When you say "original Xda2 carkit", do you mean an official one from O2?
If so, where did you get it from? I've been looking everywhere and can't find a single retailer (including O2 themselves) who are already selling it! Can it be ordered online?
(Sorry this didn't answer your question).
i got the official carkit
and the latest rom 1.66.00WWE
sound is perfect through the speakers
maybe you need to upgrade
I am in australia and it is the original kit from O2. The sound is perfect thru the speaker, but it is only when in a call....no other sounds come thru the car kit speaker, just the phone call. I would like to have all of the audio output thru the car kit speaker.
I cant believe that no one here has a solution for this problem???
Still no one has this same problem??
carkit, navigation and sound
dear shawnthecableguy, baught the expansys carkit pro, installed as requested and as i understand we share the same problem, only sounds of the telephone during calls are emitted throgh the carkit speakers, other sounds (navigation guideness, pda and even incoming call rings) are not, the problem as i understand is in the heandsfre_dll.dll file (in windows directory), we need to change it with a former rom version
Thanks for the reply... I will do some research and let you know what the outcome is. Let me know if you find a replacement dll that works.
Thanks
Have you any pics of this car kit.
What's in the box?
The car kit.
Connection for antenna, radio, power and fix for the kit?
Any luck with sound output?
Has anyone had any luck with this?? :?:
Shawn, what is your rom version?
Akira mentioned (when I look at it; DID he?) he has both gsm and pda sound thru the kit with rom 1.66.00WWE
Some feedback on my new XDA2 carkit I bought from www.telido.de for 137 euro. It indeed looks like the Expansys kit.
Works flawlessly.
Some remarks:
1. Ring-tone is via PDA speaker
2. Phone sounde (after call acceptance) is via carkit speaker
3. PDA sounce (like TomTom directions) is via PDA speaker
4. audio mute (to ground in a call) / acc-out (to 12v in a call) only functions AFTER call acceptance
Since the T-Mobile kit does have these function the correct way, It should be possible to fix this in s/w . . . .
Microfone is very good directive.
Speaker is clear an loud
All in all i am happy especially since I paid 137 euro . . . .
I am using the beta t- mobile rom, but have tried the asia rom as well and it didnt make any difference.
@shawnthecableguy:
WHAT beta?
The 1.72 T-Mobile?
Tried the 1.72 iMate (non-beta)?
I have the 1.60 T-Mobile (was on the device, but can be downloaden from T-Mobile NL)
The thing is that with the official T-Mobile MDAII casrkit, people claim to get all audio thru the carkit speaker.
SO: AFAIK both the T-Mobile MDAII carkit and my (Expansys like) XDAII carkit only use the cradle-like connector which only have few wires for putting thru audio.
In other words: IF this works with the T-Mobile MDA carkit, it should also work with the XDAII carkit. It HAS to be in software, ie. the ROM
Sound on external speaker (a solution)
I also came across the no-sound-on-external-speaker-problem bottom connector when using the bottom connector.
My configuration:
ROM 1.60.00GER, Radio 1.06.01
CAR_ON on ground or not connected at all
rings, sounds only on internal speaker, only phone calls on external speaker
I get all sounds (incl. ring, mp3, ...) through the bottom connector if there is something plugged into the headset connector!
All sound via bottom when headset is plugged is, sounds promising.
Gonna try that in some minutes as I drive home . . .
errrr...
No luck.
I tried the headphone connector of my carkit.
That obviously doesnt make any sense: This connector gets its signal from the flat connector too . . . .
Still looking for a good software version (I read that it maybe is in handsfre.dll)
solution in ROM ?
Hi all,
i've read all the posts 'bout this and still have a litle doubt in my mind. Has anyone tested if v.1.72 works around the "in-call only" sound problem ?
I just received my expansys car kit pro but still not installed, maybe tomorrow if i have the chance. As i'm using tom tom i am interested in a solution to this "flaw"....
btw my specs are:
ROM: 1.72.00WWE (from i-mate )
radio: 1.14.00
protocol: 1337.24
extRom:1.72.126
no luck....
Unfortunately, after a sleepless night installing the kit and half a day in toyota repair shop replacing the car battery, i had no luck. I got stuck with the same "in-call" only sound problem through the speakers....
@Omega77:
what do you mean all sound with something plugged in at headset ?? if a connect something to the xda headset connector i'll get sound through the car kit ?
PS
ups.....almost forgot...
does anyone know who is the manufacturer of the car kit pro sold by Expansys ?
Mine has a sticker and i presume its a company called E-Lead but i can't find them on the net....
maybe we could contact them in Thay and try to get some answers...
:roll:
I tried some headphones I found from an old Mitsubishi Trium Galaxy and they work. :idea:
:shock: They dont have an answer button, but if anyone can confirm that it also works that would help!
If no one has any, I can try in a week.
P.s. Tested nokia headphones..... all i got was some faint beeps.
Headset: speaker and mic?
Hello Spawner,
yes, that sounds good!! A Question: Do You have tested if the mic of the "galaxy" headset will work whit the mda/xda too?? I had the problem whit a self made adaptor, that the speaker will work whit a 4-pin jack, but the mic was dead. If You will give me an answer, i say thanks a lot and im looking for a headset to check the function. Then i can give You answer.
T H A N K S !!!!
Markus
The mic and headphone is working on my XDA I.
:? I do not know if it will work with the answer button on the headphone. I will know in a couple of days. I have seen headphones for the Mitsubishi for 2 or 3 €.
Yippie!!!!!!!!! 8)
Fine !!!
Oh yeahh! Im searching for a headphone solution for month's, now ist's found! OK ... i will searching for an "galaxy" headset at my next dealer. What do You mean ... is it possible that a car-solution for the "galaxy" ("free speaking unit") will work whit the m/xda too???
For now i am happy to have a solution for a headset. THANKS a lot for Your information!!!!!
Markus
I only tried the headphone with no answer button
I havent tried the car solution.... but might work. Try before you buy it.
Anyone have something to add?
Headphone: TRIUM Galaxy and Plugs whit 2,5
Hello Spawner,
Hello forum!
now i came from my dealer. I buyed a headset for a Trium GALAXY (Comp. whit example Motorola L- M- V- T-Series, Nokia 8810, SAMSUNG SGH-A100/SGH-M100 or the Panasonic GD35/52/...). At first, it was cheap (4 Euro) and have no "Answer Button". Sorry! So i coud not say if this button will work. The Headset have a 2,5 Telephone Plug whit three pins! At first i was Shoked :shock: , because i often heard, that this plug will not work in the MDA (MDA has 4 pins on the plug!). But i connect ist, and ... its work fine whit good sound on earplug an mic! !!! So i mean, that all headset whit this universal plug will work on MDA/XDA 1.
A question: I know that the german manufacturer THB (www.thb.de) had a free speaking unit called "ET 400" whit this 2,5 phoneplug! It was a plug an play thing you can use whit the same adaptors you use whit the universal headsets. Have someone tested this whit the MDA or knows someone how can test it???? I think this woud be an good ad cheap thing for the car.
Thanks for all informations!!!

been reading the posts on here for ideas on car mounts for my vario, surprised no ones mentioned the carcomm one ( have used search ) unless ive missed the post?
I had a carcomm mount for my old ipaq 5450, and out of all the mounts, it was the best built, so im after one for the vario, just need to find someone who stocks it for the mda and a price?
Expansys have these listed but it seems expensive.

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=128070

Al

4. Prefered Volume control.
Can anybody post any useful items??
P.S. : Does anybody sell original Wizard headsets with Mic (mine is O2 Branded and I live in the UK)????
Thanks,
Mohammad

Hey, Thanks
How does the sound quality compare to the original headset? and Where from did you buy it?
Cheers

No, I haven't. but I will give it a try and repost the result here.
Cheers
well, I searched in O2 UK shop but I found only blueooth headsets for Wizard, can you provide me a link for the ones you got?
Thanks
Mohammad
i never found mine online, i went into the o2 store, i have checked online and ,like you , have only found bluetooth headsets. I have found a link here though
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/10097.htm
it isnt the original o2 one, but it is Genuine i-mate JAM Stereo Personal Handsfree Kit
Yes, I've seen it.. I even found the original O2 ones, but the link is in my other computer..
but I am now searching for a Super quality 2.5mm headsets..
The only thing I saw in the market was the miniBuds Boxwave's headsets, but I don't know if anybody tried them?? are there any other brands?
I have a T-Mobile MDA and my headphones went dead a month or two ago. I just bought a replacement from e-bay. A simple search will bring many results. I think I paid about $5.

I bought from a seller called sami809
HS-47
I've just bought a Nokia stereo headset HS-47. It has a 2.5 mm jack, so I one can use it without adapter. The microphone and the answer button both do there job, but there is no volume control. The quality of the equipment is good, but the sound quality isn't that good. For a super sound I think you have to buy a HS-16.
bought what a seller told was an ome headset. got questions: im i suppose to hear from both left and right ear buds, and im i suppose to able to end or start accept call with the button next to the volume button onthe headset. wonder if i have open circuits on the headset jack on my wizard.
If you have the right headset, then you are supposed to hear from both left and right ear buds, answer incoming calls and end conversation by pressing the button next to the volume control.
If these are not the case, it doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong with your phone or the headset. It might be that they are not compatible. That would mean the one you got isn't an OEM piece, or maybe it's OEM, but intended for a different device.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe the headset is the wrong color, no wait I know your phone hates you and is secretly plotting to drive you mad and have you committed to an insane asylem and then join with my phone in its plot to take over the world. or it could just be as simple as there is something wrong with the headset who knows about these things??
i would expect such flaming wise crack from a senior memeber ; )
