Workarounds/known issues 7/22: Updated for FRX07

[gtmethod3]

Having an issue with my speakerphone. It is doing the static crackling when it is turned on and speaker turns itself on when an incoming call comes stiaticy as well. Is this still a known issue? I thought it was fixed.

If it is supposed to be fixed, where would the problem reside on my end? I.e kernel? rootfs? system.ext2?

I am using latest zimage and modules, 1253 kernel, and tiad8s more stable 1-12 system.ext2 build.

Thanks in advance!

Does this happen on FRX03?

How is tiad8's system image more stable..? I didn't think he really modified anything, other than integrating the graphics improvements from ACL and bzo...

Sorry for the confusion. By more stable, I meant the system image from 1.12.11 that works compared to the system image released by Tiad8 2 nights ago that crashed often and calls didn't work.

It looks like it does happen with FRX03, but I'll do some testing myself to confirm.

Thanks!

Hmm just tried the speakerphone on FRX03 with 1253 and I also hear the static. Just dialed the voicemail and flipped on speakerphone.

This wasn't always present I think.

I have been using this as my main OS until it crashed and now will not connect any apps to online info anymore giving me and error message or just freezing when I try.

I'm using the previous version (Dec 20th?) with some revised files for better performance. Unfortunately can't keep up with a 1,000 + post thread to know what's really better about the new revision...

Typically the newer stuff/revisions have updated items, i.e. backlight, sound, less FC's, etc, but it's not always as easy just grabbing a new item and dumping it into a folder. Sometimes it's the kernel that is updated, sometimes other items. Also depends where it's coming from as some of the stuff is just testing and will cause other problems. There's really no way around reading through posts to stay updated. Maybe try just dumping your data.img and having it reset another one, that does seem to fix a lot of issues as they do seem to get corrupt every so often. My recommendation is when you get it running good, copy the data.img somewhere else so you can go back to it if you have a future problem. Hopes this helps. You can also try tiad's package that he's put together, just find his thread and read the first few posts and it should get you up and running quickly.

No matter which build I try, the speaker phone does not work correctly on the 1250 or 1253 Kernel. Just tried out FRX4 with no luck as well. I wonder if it may be my device since other people are not having this problem.

The speaker phone has the fuzzy noise it it and low volume. The annoying part is when someone calls in during a call, the speaker phone turns on by itself with the same effects.

Just tried the 1246 kernel on FRX4 with same effect. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem on my RHOD 500. Haven't figured out a fix for it yet.

[arrrghhh]

I just tried this in several different ways.

I don't quite experience the same issue. Basically if I get a second call coming in while I'm on a call, I can answer that second call - but I have no way of going back to the first call! What's funny is if I end the call from my cell phone, the first call appears to call me back and starts up that call again - however the caller on the other end didn't do anything. (I work on VoIP phones for a living, so I have just a few lines/phones at my disposal ).

So call waiting definitely needs some work, but I don't experience the same issues you guys do.

I'm on FRX04 with the newest cam test stuff. I'd venture to bet 1253 is the same tho.

Thanks for looking into it arrrghhh. It's odd that some people have this problem and others don't. Another thing I noticed is that if deny in incoming call waiting, the phone closes down both calls, so there is nothing I can really do except answer it. If I don't answer the phone will keep beeping about call waiting then eventually reboot to Winmo. Odd stuff.
