Problem calling with Magician

[Guest beckershoff]

I just bought a mda compact from ebay with the 1.01 rom still installed on it. The first day i could normally call with it, but now I changed to the 1.12 rom and I can`t hear the people I call through the speaker. The weird about it is that I can listen to my mp3`s and stuff and calling with a headset is also not a problem. It also doesn`t matter if I am caller or I get called. I tried now 2 1.12 roms (imate & orange). I don`t think its related with the speakersoldering or a defect headphonesocket. Someone know how to solve this weird problem because its a little bit irritating calling all the time trough a headset!?

Weird, yesterday I installed the 1.12 t-mobile rom on my mda compact and I didn`t encounterd any callingproblems anymore even after several soft-resets. Does this maybe mean that I can`t use other roms than t-mobile on my mda compact?

is the 1.12 ROM the same minor number on all ROMs? Wondering if the radio version is different??

You could try installing the T-mobile 1.12 ROM but instead of using the t-mobile extended ROM replace it with the one for your brand/device before you upgrade.

Thats what I did to upgrade my o2 to 1.12.

Argh, since yesterday the problem appeared again! I used bluetooth that day so maybe that's the reason for it (I discoverd that some m2000 user got a sortalike problem with the speaker and bleutooth).

The strangest thing is that when I change the volume between a call I hear the other person very soft in the background for al ess than second.

Btw. the 1.12 where all the same except the Orange rom wich had a newer radio version, but the sound between a call through the speaker didn`t work at all!

I have seen on forum.xda-developers.com that the phonespeaker is probaly disconnected from the phone. Is it true that the speakerconnection isn`t even solderd? Is there any way to solder them (I`m hoping having to open my Magician not more than one time)? Btw. now I am calling with my magician without the headset but using the bigger speaker on the back of the phone by holding the green button for 2 sec. just before a call, wich is really annoying because everbody around me can also hear the people I`m talking with. Does somebody got good pics of a solution (I`ve got already the pdf from xda-developers but maybe someone have some more detailed pics). And is it really better to use a nokia speaker from the 6600 series instead the standard one?

Isn`t there anybody here who had the same problem and had found a solution? I would really appreciate any comments before I try to open my phone!

As you mentioned there's an issue on the HTC Blue Angel of being unable to hear a caller until a soft reset. Never heard of it on an HTC Magician though.

You're sure it couldn't be cause by something you've installed or by having edited the registry? Does it survive a soft reset?

I would be inclined to try and get the device replaced given this doesn't seem to be a known problem with the Magician.
