I was wondering if anyone could help me out

[Guest adamt326]

Hey everyone, I just signed up but I've been using these forums and my MPx200 for about a year now. I live in the states, and was just having a few problems.

I upgraded to WM2003 a little bit after getting my phone and loved it, but shortly after my phone stopped ringing and my signal became non existent and I was comfortable believing that my external speaker died and I knew that the phone was known for poor reception.

A couple of days ago I was reading some great success stories about WM**** and wanted to upgrade, (unfortunately couldn't find the files) but I did find a file called WM**** and since my phone was not working and I had another phone on the way I decided it didn't matter if I messed anything up.

So I loaded the file, put my sim card in, did a master reset, and turned the phone on. Turns out if was WM2003 again but my phone makes the startup sound and I about fall out of my chair, (this phone hasnt made a sound in almost 8 months). So I am really excited, the signal was still weak in my house but it was making sound, it played music, ringtones, speakerphone worked.

Then a few hours later the same thing happened as before, mid ring it just stopped, no sound, no clicking, no tones, can't get a peep out of it. This is a different version/build of WM2003 than before I don't know if I can post that info here or not. But anyway its a lot better, and I get signal and GPRS symbols which I haven't gotten since the original upgrade. I have at least 2 bars at all times now, except inside of buildings and mostly 4 bars everywhere I go.

What I'm asking is, is there a known software issue with WM2003 affecting the outer speaker? I know that it isn't dead because after a master reset the sound works perfectly for a few hours. Not my idea of a fun thing to do 4 times a day, has anyone had this problem or know a way to fix it? Or am I better off going back to 2002? I will probably sell the phone either way but a fully functioning phone would be best either way.

THANK YOU!

discussion about installing WM5 on devices is not allowed on the forum im afraid

and besides - stick to the software given/provided by the network provided - for obvious reasons such software isnt released publically.

There should be no problems with WM2003 on the device...could genuinely be a hardware fault being created - are you able to replace it under the warrenty?

Sorry I'll edit out the forbidden thing and no its not under warranty. Unfortunately.

no I didn't have the same issue, unfortunately no .wma ringtone compatibility, but for the 2 months I had 2002 I didn't have that issue.

yea, like tech said, its not a good thing to do any upgrades on the phone unless theyre from the provider directly. i tried something simliar on my old mpx200 and it wouldnt turn on when i was done.

From what you are describing the fault could be the speaker connector coming loose as it's not normal for the speaker to work ok then suddenly stop.

[Guest xxcrashxx]

but would reflashing the phone with a rom wiggle the speaker cable back in??

[Guest awarner (MVP)]

Now that's a trick I'd like to see :)

As the phone had been sitting around for a while the occasional knock etc may move the connector partly back in.

As I said from what is being described with intermittant sound as such I would check the connection to the speaker first.
