Viber Contact Photo Sync

Since Viber doesn't create contacts as Android contacts, they cannot be accessed. There are some applications that do get the user photos to assign to your contact.

For Viber, use Viber Contact Photo Sync. Search for com.booleanaxis.vibercontactphotosync2

For Whatsapp, they create contacts but since they are private, they can only be linked, not modified or synced with Google contacts. Again there are handful of applications that can do that easily.

Hi Folks~

I have an XDA (QTEK 1010) had been working perfectly fine, until yesterday. After taking a call, when I tried to make a call I noticed the Speaker Phone activated automatically. I can't hear anything even the tried to play an MP3 from the Media Player but still didn't work.

Then I plugged in the Hands-Free, could listen to the Sound but the Mic seems to be have been disabled. (Even after plug-in of the Hands-Free, the Speakerphone still remains activated).

Pl. HELP ! :(

Thanks !!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
the manual say something about holding down the phone button turn the speaker phone on and off
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rana:

You could back up your data and try a hard reset, a bit drastic I know but its pretty useless as a phone at the moment.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rana:
Apologies for the Information in Bit & Pieces (am a newbie).

I've already checked after Soft & Hard Reset to the Device, the problem is still there.

This is exactly what happened to me back in November, after my little Xavier (an XDA) went for a swim in a flooded gutter.

I'll bet that if you go into the Wallaby BootLoader and try the diagnostics, it'll behave itself.

Unfortunately, the news was not good for me: $1500 to have it repaired.

"Liquid Ingression", they call it. *grumble*

I decided against it. My XDA still works as a soundless PDA (or, as it turns out, a hopelessly overpriced Universal Remote Control).
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rana:
Can you guide me through ? How to run the diagnostics ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rana:
Any help with the Diagnostics ?

I've tried over-writing the ROM, still didn't work ...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rana:
Still not working ..

Should I upgrade it to PPC2003 from the YOrk Kitchen ?? Will it help resolving the problem ?

I was thinking if it could be bcz of a loose connection inside the device (altough the device never fell down since I've got it).

Any help would be appreciated.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] deemacgee:
There's a good chance that it needs vendor support.

Take it back to the place you bought it... if you didn't drop it or get it wet, the warranty should cover it.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rana:
The problem is that there is no Local Support for XDA in Pakistan yet ... :(

The Only Option I've got is to ship it internationally, which would be Expensive :roll:

Just tried Updating the Stack, didn't Work either .. Pretty Strange what else could happen.

If I attach a Hands-Free I get to hear the Sounds, but no Sounds on the Speaker .. person calling me can't hear me nor can I hear them. The Situtation is same I try to make a Call "Speaker Phone On" Pops-UP.

Though I tried to records the Recording, When I speak while the recoding on the playback just gives a huffing sound, no clear Audio.

Stuck with an Expensive XDA with No Phone & No Speaker Sound !!!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] deemacgee:
From the limited information provided to me by the repair centre, and looking over the details on xda-developers.com, I think your audio chip (or something related to it) may have fried. Mine was caused by water damage... a lot of water damage, at that...

Without the Sound, there's no charm in using it anyways ... bought a new Nokia 6600 a few days back and am using it ... now waiting for the Battery to be drained & when re-charged expecting a miracle to happen :)

I hope it works again !! I love the XDA !
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rana:
Guess What .. the XDA is working perfectly fine now.

The only thing I did was to place it in my Drawer for a couple of Days .. Keeping it outta my Sight :))

Miracles do happen ;-)

I have this problem now... Although it has not got wet?? Exact same as described as above...

Although in bootloader diagnostics the mic/speaker work fine. When booted in to windows I get the speaker phone coming on automatically, and no sound :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] avyshnya:
Guys,

This problem drives me crazy constantly. The only explanation I found (by empirical approach) as follows:

My XDA works fine always except at winter, when I stay outside, and the XDA surface covered with steam condensate because of temperature differences. Condensate may not be seen visually, but some electronics inside has short circuit or changes in chains resistance which cause XDA to think that ‘speakerphone mode’ is on and misbehave.

To resolve this problem I just keep XDA in the worm place (like stay in apartment) for 30 min and / or plug it to charger which bring XDA to normal mode (by warming it up and thus removing steam condensate). No other ways found so far.

Regards, Andrey

Let me know if you know how to resolve it once and forever (do not advice me to thru it out :wink: )

Speaker not working.... Any Success??

Hi All,

My xda seems to be displaying the same symptoms. :(

I cannot get the speaker to work (the headset seem to work OK) and I cannot get the speakerphone to come on either.

I have been through the bootloader, and the diagnostics on the playback and the recording work just as they should.

I don't know about the whole moisture issue, I haven't dropped mine in a puddle. It was working one minute, and not the next.....

Did anyone come up with a solution?? :?: :?:

Jules
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] hooligan:
Fixed

I just found out how to fix the problem i was having with my XDA on another discussion thread.

Looks like the headphone jack was faulty and was convincing my system that the headset was plugged in. Result? the spaeker didn't appear to work and neither did the mic (bootloader diagnostics showed speaker and mic to be working fine.). Unlike others with a similar problem, I did not have the "speakerphone on" icon displayed when in any mode (phone or pda).

Solution: wiggled the headset around in the jack as I pulled it out and suddenly the speaker came alive. Not happy that the jack is faulty, but maybe I can fix that since it's just a loose connection or something.

Anyone out there got any advice on how to open one of these babys up and weild a soldering iron?? :D

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
The connector is integrated with the main board, you have zero access to the actual interior of the socket as far as I know, it looks to be pinned through the multi layer board, if it works ok now I would advise leaving it alone.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] hooligan:
Sage Advice

Thanks for the tip. I'll leave well enough alone.

I guess if the worst come to the worst, I'll get in touch with whoever is the service agent over here and get them to replace it. In reality, I'm guessing it'd be a $1 jack and an hours labour, but I'll bet they try and slug me $150 for it. :x

Thanks again.

My Speaker isnt working in PocketWindows, in the Bootloader he is working. I never inserted the Earphone bevor there was no Sound!

Please help
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
It is probably a stuck headphone connecter, many people have tried jiggling it with the headphone connecter connected, others have tried poking something in to the connecter and jiggling that, it is a well known problem that sometimes rights itself.

Any solution to this?

Has anyone found a solution for this? I am experiencing the same problem. I think it a hardware based issue with the USB/cradle slot at the bottom of the SX56. It seems to correct itself when ever I plug in the car charger or put it in the cradle. That doesn't solve my problem when I'm out and about and the problem occurs. I have to wait to get home or in the car to fix it. Not good. Please help!

No sound from speaker

I was banging my head over this one till I looked and noticed that the handsfree icon was ON, even though I had pulled out the headphone. No sound from the speaker, meant it thought I was using the headset.

Turns out that the tip of the plug on the end of the headset had snapped off and was stuck in the jack, making the phone think I had the headset plugged in. (this was an after market headset adapter from pc-mobiles). I sent it back in because it was still under warranty and they sent me a new one. (not that I didn't try to get it out of there myself first. Good luck on that one !)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
Here is my experience with it.

I had the exact same problem. The only way I managed to resolve this was to open up the casing and do a repair myself. (Note warranty long over)

Here is what the headphone jack looks like

|| |\||

|| ||

What happens when you insert the headset plug in.. is that it pushes the \ to touch the right side and connect via the headset. If left unplug, it should be connected to center piece.

The problem usually occurs as this headphone adaptor is connect at a few points. Of critical note is the top 2, one which is to the right and the other for the speakerphone piece. Vigorous usage and "ramming in and out" might make the headphone adaptor loose and thus you get the always connected to headphone problem.

How I solve my problem was to actually resolder the points. Do I recommend the solution? Not really, but I was left with llittle choice except fork over something like 100 bucks for an adaptor.

Cheers
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] djlong3000:
Zakyn -

Thanks, that's very helpful information. In my case, the unit was still under warranty, but I can forsee needing to do the same thing as you did, somewhere down the line (unless I can get my hands on the XDA III before then!)

I wouldn't want to have to fix it myself, but I would if that was my only option. I got as far as opening the case last time, seeing the jack was pretty inaccessible, and then voted for sending it in for warranty repair instead.

So I would appreciate it if you could clarify the diagram you made though. I get the point that the / is the pivoting contact, but I can't tell much else from it, reading your description while looking at the diagram. Like: where is the opening and which direction is the pug going, vis-a-vis all those lines you've drawn.

BTW, I learned a couple things in regard to this problem:

1) be careful using after-market headsets. A plug that size with that many connectors is uncommon and so may be manufactured with poor quality (the tip of the plug on my after-market set snapped off in the jack)

2) try not to get the headset wire caught on anything in such a way that it jerks the phone. because the wire is at right-angles to the plug, any such sudden jerk on the wire will stress the plug inside the jack by making it move sideways (in other words, more than if the wire came straight out of the jack)

3) when you get a chance to buy a pocket PC phone for $50, like I did when AT&T was closing it out) BUY TWO ! Even if you have to send it in for warranty, you are without a phone for a week. (though the Siemens service was top notch and fast)

ANd of course, if you can afford to buy two Blue Angels, call me ...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
Thanks for the feedback. I will hopefully try get some pictures the next time I need to open up the phone. I'm kinda lazy and do not want to tempt fate. For a whole month I was using the XDA with the headphones attached. Anyway hopefully the diagram below can suffice.

Do note, in order to access the headphone jack, you need to open up your XDA 1, then follow up by flipping out the bottom panel (detach the battery area)

X = solder points

X

X-|| || ||-X

|| || \ ||

|| | \||

X-|| | ||-X

[o ]

Legend

X- = Soldered points of headphone jack to PCB

|| = Copper connectors inside the headphone jack

\ = Swinging point that does ons/off speaker + mic and/or

headphones also made of copper

[o] = Hole for headphone to plug in

See diagram above, when headphones are not plugged in, the solder points on the top and at the top right forms a circuit. This makes the XDA knows that nothing is connected and thus will allow the speaker + mic to function.

When you plug in the headphones, the \ is pushed to | and thus the headphone becomes the connection instead of the speaker and mic.

Please note, I do not know the exact PCB and functions of it, but I do know what the X solder point on top and the right side solder point are key.

The headphone jack is quite a fragile unit, if you see it from a top down view where the Top X solder point is, it is a small piece of copper like this

[] <--- folded downwards and soldered to top X

||[] <--- the connector where the \ (on/off switch touches)

[] <-- folded downwards and inserted under the plastic headphone jack

This flimsy little copper is probably where the problem always lies. My top piece broke off, so I had to solder and make the actual connection to the top X.

In most cases, if you do vigirous insertion (excuse the ahem.. pun), you might actually loosen all the solder points on the headphone adaptor. For those who have seen and open the XDA 1, 2 , 2s and 3, you know how fragile the whole unit is; thus you probably have to "do some manual fixing"

Hope the above helps out anyone who has the same issue and is out of warranty.

Cheers

P.S. There are reason why I do not wanna open up the XDA and take pictures, as long as it works now, I'm happy with my "half baked soldering" but the next time I do have to do open heart surgery on my old trusty, I will take some pictures.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
OK,

but how do you manage to get to Swinging point?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
By opening your XDA?

1) Open XDA

2) Seperate Battery Pack from the actual PCB

3) The copper part at the top portion can be twisted down and open, giving u some room and access to the swinging point.

* Step 3 bends this portion which might result in it weakened as well as potentially breaking it off. Mine was already on its last legs due to rapid jabbing of a sharp object to get the speaker working again so not much loss there.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
Ok Zakyn,

its open. I broke the Top, but the swinging poits are connectet to the copper parts as it should be. I would like to take a picture but my cam is not to good so the picture is not sharp.

Wat do you think next to do?

Excuse my english i`m from Germany.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
BBreaker?

You intentionally broke the top?

Anyway, you should insert the top back, after you have put in your handsfree kit. This will allow the right side plate to be in position to be touching it. Next solder the top back in making sure that the bottom portion is in contact with the bottom PCB end

[] <--- Folded downwards

[]] <--- Folded leftwards

[] <---- Folded Upwards

Hope it works out for you.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
Ok Zakyn,

my english is really not good enough, because i haven`t broken the copper contact only the plastic is broken ( the top of the jack).

So i have free sight into the jack. I can see how the swinging points have to contact the copper pats when the headphone is inserted. But what contcts have to be connected when the headphone is out or can it be overided. Second Question: Is`nt it possible to deactivat the jack by driver?

Many thanks for your answer
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
Hi

Ok, I got what you mean. Your english aint so bad, in fact it is quite good.

Anyway, the \ has to be connected to the right side plate.

[]

[]] <--- this part which is folded leftwards

Do make sure that it forms this inside the jack

the Solder Points at the top as well as the top left are what you need to make sure are connected.

X = solder points

X <--- This
X-|| || ||-X <---and This

Lastly, I do not know any way in software to fix the issue. If there was, I might not have opened up the phone.

This is about the full extent of my knowledge. I am not an engineer. I reckon there are other folks in this board who have a better understanding of the inner workings of the phone.

Cheers, hope the above helps you.

Zakyn
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
Just to backtrack a little

The Top portion and the TOP X are what should be in contact.

See below.

I think I sloved my problem!!!

It's been already a week now that I have this problem.

I do not even have earphones, so the problem can't be coming from the earphone jack.

Also I noticed that whenever I plug the XDA to the external power source like the car charger or the regular AC charger, the problem disappeared, only to come back few minutes after I unplug the power.

After reading all the suggestions about cleaning and soldering the headphone jack, it occured to me to inspect the power jack on the bottom of the machine...

ET VOILA ...

I found an almost invisible piece of dust stuck deep inside the hole and working as a connector between all the coppers. I removed it with a toothpick and used a small but sturdy paint brush to complete the cleaning and now it works with no problems.

jusanche: I think you have the same problem, because you were desribing the exact symptoms I was facing.

XDA/WALLABY SOUND PROBLEM

I had this problem with my xda. Intermittently the speakerphone symbol appears and all sound is lost. I contacted source o2 who reckoned it to be a known glitch. The suggestion from their guy was to try setting it to vibrate, to phone it but not answer it and to turn the sound back on from vibrate. Didn't work fore me though.

I have found (as did at least one other contributing to this thread) that attaching mains power clears the problem, ie dropping it into its activesync cradle clears the problem.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere about a problem with another pda (ipaq? axim? can't recall) having a buggy battery monitor which caused problems with the sound system. There was a software patch but G*d knows where you'd find that.

It seems that there are as many fixes for this problem as there are XDAs!

I have recently flashed my XDA/WALLABY with wm2003se and have not notice the problem re-occurring...YET!

Good Luck, anyway.

Pocket fluff!!!

OK, way late on this reply, but may be of use to someone out there.

I had exacly the same symptoms - no sounds from (or into) device unless headset/handsfree plugged in.

So I put it under the microscope, got some fiber optic lamps (perks of the job?) and discovered pocket fluff in the headset jack! Evil substance, will be responsible for the death of us all.

So I carefully extracted as much as I could using a really sharp pin that I'd bent at the end (used for pinning insects - useful... er... if you can get them :wink: ).

Then it worked just fine. Flufflessly.

My next plan is to cover that damn hole with a bit of carpet tape when I'm not using the headset... unless somebody has a better replacement for the silly little plastic plug that I lost ages ago?

Phil
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] MePenguin:
Make that duck tape.

And possibly more importantly, I think this proves the switch for headset/internal sound is mechanical - or possibly optical, but that sounds a bit like overkill.

This is crap

:evil:

I can not believe that we as consumers allow companies to get away with this.

A known problem which was identified prior to me purchasing the pda means that this item is not of merchantable quality. In OZ under the trade practices act you have a claim against the retailer to provide a refund.

This is not a warranty issue. This is a known fault in the design of the item and as such they have no alternative but to refund.

I am sick and tired of technology businesses coming out with buggy items and saying "Ahh well everything has bugs" - Crap - the reason that this is the case is because we as consumers accept the situation.

After reading all of this - I went back to my retailer - 10 months after purchasing my O2 Mini and demanded a refund. After an hour of arguing the virtues of the Trade Practices Act I got a refund on my O2 and purchased a Treo 650. Better phone for me - syncs directly to Linux, is more stable, does everything that the O2 did - but more efficiently.

The magician is crap - a phone that works when it wants to is just - well CRAP.
