Discovered another anomaly yesterday while I was toying with the camera. It seems like I am not able to save pictures directly to the memory card. Everytime I change the save path for the pictures to Memory Card, it will revert back to main memory automatically. Anyone of u encountered the same problem?

My unit is running on ROM20060217B1WWE.

Ive got the Atom, have a constant humming static sound from the main speaker every time its switched on. The moment the power off is pressed the sound disappears. Its very slight but when u answer calls u can hear it clear, very annoying. I wonder if anyone else has the same problem
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] Mastiff:
Yes, I've had that on every PDA I have had. The volume and pitch varies, but it's almost always there. One some units, like my Blue Angel, before I got it fixed, it's audible across the room. Normally you'll have to put your ear up to the screen to hear anything.

Is it worth upgrading from the Hotfixed Official Updated 20060123 ROM to the leaked 20060217 ROM. I understand its the first Atoms with the 20060105 ROM that were very buggy. Ive got my Atom last week with the 123 ROM, upgraded it as per the website with the Hotfix and Camera Patch. Works OK but for the static from the speaker. Will I find anything worthy from the 20060217 Leaked ROM??

Using new rom "test only not for sale"

Don't use this ROM 20060217B1WWE with Radio Version R060221N_MN1ARC_RS00045. This rom has many trouble. I suggest you use a new rom 20060414B1WWE-RS00047. It's perfect (99.99999999%).

With new rom, the camera is very okey. Loading only 2 second. You don't need a camera hotfix patch. I had been used tihs ron (20060414B1WWE-RS00047). This rom is wonderfull rom then the previous. So I like my atom with this rom "test only not for sale". This new rom picture (20060414B1WWE47) ":

I'm in Australia and have just purchased a new O2 XDA Atom :rom 20060123B1WWE radio 43

I too have this dredded high pitch squeel thru the ear speaker (in handset).

Does the new firmware (rom update) fix this? I'm still waiting for my IME number to pass through the System so i can update the rom via the O2 update service. (says 7 days after purchase)

I'm not sure if i should just demand a replacement unit or wait and get the rom update, I had a listen to someone elses Atom today and his had the same high pitched noise. He didn't notice it untill I pointed it out to him? He had an older rom version than mine.

Anyway this thing is 2 days old and I'm not sure what i should do?

The place of purchase said it will take 2 weeks to send it off for repair? I said It is brand new, you can get a new one in and put a battery in it, and listen for the noise, if it doesn't have the noise than i'll be in to swap it over.

That didn't go down real well, So on Tuesday I'll talk to the manager!

If the rom update fixes it, then i don't have to yell at anyone :D

Could anyone give me some answers please?

and if somebody could get the rom update for me (link it somewhere so i can download it) so i don't have to wait 7 days to know weather to practise yelling or not!

Got the same problem and I sent mine to the service centre 19 of April and still waiting for it. Not happy!!!!! They said they run out of the required part to fix the problem.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jetgsr:
New rom SWEEEET! much faster almost equal to my rx3715

very much an improvement.

The noise is still there though :cry: Mightyox if you can keep me posted WTF they do? But it sounds like a Hardware fault! So I just might have a chat with the manager of Telechoice :D He was a help to get the Atom

Camera is still average but better. My K750i is pretty much the best Phone camera I've seen.

Hi Jetgsr,

Its a hardware fault for sure, they said they were waiting for a LCD part.

They had just replaced it and now giving it a good test. Hopefully I should get it by the end of the week.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jetgsr:
It looks to me to be a earth loop back from the LCD screen to the ear speaker, Being almost solid state these days My guess would be YES the screen would need replacing. (I was a chip level tech in a previous life)

Let me know how you go! And if you lost everything on the atom too.

Make sure you set your region correctly on your Atom or do an upgrade without the Sim installed thats what i did .. worked fine

Tell me does your atom have a high pitched squeel in the ear speaker on the phone?

O back to the problem of my phone I spoke to the shop they have ordered a new atom for me (only 17 instock) and we are also going to send mine away. So i will either get a new one soon or mine repaired in who know how long? the good thing is i will get one back working!

How to update an English ROM with a Chinese Xda atom device?

Dear All,

I bought in China a Chinese Atom version with an English ROM 20060217B1WWWE radio R060221N_MN1ARC_RS00045

I know that my Atom is Chinese when i register it to O2 website.

O2 specify it is impossible to upgrade my Atom to an English ROM.

How the Chinese sellers do it ?

How upgrade my Chinese Atom device to the English ROM 20060426B1WWE ?

Thanks very much for your help

Have a nice sunday

did you try to run English ROM 20060426B1WWE upgrade utility?

what does it display on the screen?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jetgsr:
I'm still waiting for mine to be fixed! it has been a month

homer285 you will be with out your unit for at least 1 month and then it is a gamble if the fault doesn't return!

If your unit is brand new take it back a get a replacement!! check it in the store! you don't need a sim installed just turn it on and listen!

if your lucky and you get a good one than you have to upgrade the firmware so it can actually be used as a PDA Phone once you have done all that I think you'll have a winner! :wink:

MightyOX hows yours going? I told them if mine goes faulty when i get it back I want a new one straight away!! Or i have a chat with the ACCC and fair trading, I have paid a months rental on a plan with that phone and still do not have a phone.

I have a huge stick and i'm waiting to use it!

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] homer285:
JETGSR[/quote] JETGSR, sent mine off today as there is no way I would return it from where I bought it. Purchased it from Techoni technologys took them two months to send it and they still havent sent my silicon case and screen protector..Nearly three months now. :x ..I have two Atom work phones (gave one to my dad), the first I bought does not have this LCD squeal but the speakers are already cactus after only 4 months.

If the fault returns after I get it back I'll be sending it back again and again until it is fixed and each time they had better exclude the one month service period from warranty date or Im gonna be pissed. Pay a grand for a phone expect it to be at the very least, reliable.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jetgsr:
I rang telechoice again today! still no sign of it! he informs me that he has ordered a new one but there is a hugh back order siduation. I wonder if they realise the problems these little do-dads have and the problems with down time they will endure :evil:

He claims he has rang the service centre and they keep telling him it isn't ready, so he has given up ringing them. (i don't know the last time he rang them)

So we will see what happends

I'm starting to get pissed now just did a check on the dates!!

got it on the 5th MAY returned it on the 9th May and it is now the 19th JUNE and i still have no phone they have no idea and I'm still footing the bill.

My opinion on the situation DON'T BUY AN ATOM! Service is crap!

THE END!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] homer285:
How can they (dare they) release a product knowingly with this problem, I have read so many other forums with Atom users posting same problem from day one. O2 dont want to know or pretend they dont know, I sent O2 Asia a detailed email about the problem and there reply was all about rom versions and types of memory cards, basically they played dumb and I think they either havent tested the devices before they distributed them or they have just passed the buck. Pissed off too!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jetgsr:
I found out today, They (the service company) haven't even looked at my phone! it was missing the power supply so they wouldn't even look at it.

They tried to ring Telechoice 3 weeks ago didn't get thru so they just put it aside. Only after hounding the store for 6 weeks do i find this out.

How absolutly bloody pathetic is that! I can't believe that there has been nothing done. Naturally i screamed blue murder, told them they can shove the phone up their arse, and shove the contract too, "But you are under contract" he says ... screw the contract ...I'll cancel my 2 business phones 2 mobile phones and my home phone and broadband connection.

I get contacted 3 times a week by ppl wanting my telco business.

Damb I'm wild! So i droped the psu into the store and walked out!

So we'll see what the hell will happen now!

I tell you what i would never recommend anyone to get an atom for the sheer chance it may require a visit to the service department.

I have the name and number of the service dept. so if you are in australia - brisbane this is a place not to send your atom for repair.

Jet - pissed off - GSR
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] homer285:
In fact its the only service centre that can fix O2 products under warranty in Australia I cant understand why a company like O2 doesnt have service and repair centres in all states like Nokia. Mine is there too and I finally got an email from them today, apparently they are so back logged with work it could be sometime until the phone is repaired. jetgsr, what do you mean they wanted your PSU? you mean charger or not?. Why on earth would they want your charger, unless perhaps the shipped chargers are the cause of this problem....Maybe the voltage or amps from the transformer are incorrect causing problems.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jetgsr:
no it had the problem before the phone even saw the charger and yes PSU (Power Supply Unit) sorry Charger! is what i ment.

I have no idea what drugs they are on.. the only thing i can think of is they want to replace the unit! but why not just remove the Charger from the new one and put it with the old one? Damb I repaired computers (chip level) for 9 years, And never did stuff like that, I think it just requires common sence. The thing is i told the store it wasn't in the box and that i had forgot it. She said no look thats ok, they may just replace the unit and send all the old stuff back. Well it was new 3 days earlier so I wasn't worried. And i said IF YOU NEED IT I WILL GET IT TO YOU ASAP! and so the sarga began ....

A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away..

Hmmm ..... One service company for the whole of Australia now thats good service managment! by the sounds of the forums there are a lot of problems with the O2 Atom, so I would imagine they would be backed up!

Anyway Yes I'm still waiting and i guess I'll wait some more, until i go nuts get my rifle and climb up to the clock tower, put on my red lipstick swollow a hand full of 'E' and shoot all the stray cats and dogs

As you can see I'm almost there!!

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] homer285:

FAULT DESCRIPTION:

Phone emits a high pitch buzz when turned on. Hold close to ear. Basically when on a call the squeal becomes so bad it hurts the ear.

jetgsr, I know how you feel!!

Whilst i was lucky that I didn't get the batch with the bad LCD, i am now on my 3rd device. I purchased 2 Atom's, first one had a dodgy touch screen where it would register the input about 5mm above where you pressed. That unit is still with MPS (the service centre for o2) and has been for a month.

The 2nd unit LCD was busted out of the box. The top half of the screen was completely white. I went mental at our account manager with Optus and demanded I get an immediate replacement as this was 2 weeks after my 1st unit was sent away with no word on when I would have that one back.

3rd unit is working well, and still waiting for a replacement for the 1st one i sent away which was 5 weeks ago now!

Interesting about the charger too... I have had 2 phones (well, 3 now..) go to MPS and I have never sent a charger. In fact, last time I sent a stylus and SD card blank (from a magician) and i got an email and letter back from them saying please don't send us anything other than the handset in future!!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jetgsr:
I just can't believe that an organization like O2 can be so unprofessional in the way it handles it's servicing, Now O2 chooses who it wants to service it's equipment! They really need to fix this as They just might go out of business here in Australia. as People like you and me will be telling everyone we know don't buy an O2, as the after sales service doesn't exist!

And Optus should remove the O2 from it's business plans so they get no flak from the customers (like me) because I'm seriously thinking about dropping all my ties with them if they can't fix it in the next couple of days.

Telstra, Primus, and 3 have all contacted me over the last 2 weeks I bet if i say to them "fix this contract **** up with Optus and you will have all my business" I bet it would only take 10 mins and I would have 2 new mobile phones and 3 new landlines all set up and running with new service providers.

All because of one phone problem that could of been fixed with a couple of phone calls.

(replacement of O2 or can the contract!) Like all they would have to say is .. Sir it looks like a 2 month wait to fix your phone i can't replace it O2 are out of stock, Would you like to choose another phone or cancel the contract?

I tell you what, O2 should read these forum posts, maybe they might see some of the problems that occure and be able to fix them or prevent them before they get out of control.

Or maybe they don't care?

JetGSR O and I'm still waiting for the "i'll call you tomorrow"

LCD Noise

Hi guys,

Guess what... I bought my ATOM off the Ebay (USA) brought in all the way to Moscow (Russia), read your posts then listened to the speaker and there it is - HISSING NOISE!!! :D

Surely there is no service for Atom in Russia, so I guess I will have to face it till the end or ship it to the seller for a replacement, that has a risk to be returned with white LCD or fault touchpanel :))

I guess the only option is to enjoy the Atom :)

Thanks for this thread mates.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] homer285:
I guess originally it was thought the latest rom could either fix or was the cause of the problem. Perhaps Mods could move these posts to a new thread. I wouldn't call it long winded complaining the fact is more than some of us have issues with our Atoms and its difficult to get a response even from manufacturer, obviously yours doesnt have this problem otherwise you'd probably be complaining too.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jetgsr:
I'm sorry, the frustration has got the better of me.

Re: the latest rom upgrade

It is nice and fast very good improvement but will not fix the high pitched noise in the ear speaker and it will NOT get you any better service from your service agent when your O2 fails.
