Guest adzman808 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Yep, still experienced the banging/popping noise with the Orange Sim. Hmmmmmmmmm i just did a little google & aparently... "O2 and Vodafone, use 900/1800 and Orange and T-Mobile use just 1800" i wonder is this problem is to do with the higher range of GSM band.... that might explain why your experience with the problem is only with orange... i also wonder what band the providers use in regards to the reported problems in France/Germany.... (Germany & France have generic 900/1800) i wonder if someone with an unlocked phone has access to a SIM from TMUK/O2/Orge/Voda & fancies testing my* theory japan does not use a GSM network as such, which might explain how the TG01 made it into production & why people are saying the hsdpa reception is fine.... could this whole call quality thing be explained by band utilisation? Cheers *i'm sure someone else will have thought of this, buy hey "my" theory it is :) Edited January 11, 2010 by adzman808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BaconTrousers Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I recently bought this phone on Orange and had it unlocked but Ive had no issues with banging while calling (02 Network) Infact the calls are just as clear as my old trusty N95 so maybe its down to a weak network in your area?

Guest brogdan Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 hello i usually have a 1800 network(Cosmote RO) sim in my tg01 and i have banging noises during calls. today i tested a 900network(Vodafone RO) sim and everything is great! no more banging noises! very good quality during cals. is it possible for the TG01 to have problems with the 1800networks? how about u, all other users that have bad quality during cals? what networks do you use? hope we can get this sorted!

Guest viper888899 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 After my telephone call to Toshiba a few weeks ago, I emailed them yesterday and received a reply today ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for contacting Toshiba Mobile Communications. Toshiba currently negotiating with the network operators in order to release new software to resolve the audio issue. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything until this approval is been given. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hopefully this is good news!!!!!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Hungary. First of all sorry for my english. I use an unlocked tg01(it was orange)and I have similar problems with the phone. Windows phone 6.5. I think its not depending of the operation system and the applications or programs. I have installed the WOW application but the noises and the problems are still. My phone partner hearing banging and dont understand what i say. The speaker (at the user's ear) usually distortion.But sometimes everything is perfect. It's making me crazy.

Regards Hello Lajos! I think you should uninstall ( kapd le mert Inkompatibilis)the SRS WoW Hd. In my cause that was the problem, and after that I made a fresh Install of WM 6.5. Now I don't have that crappy noise. But I have weak volum on speaker, but it's better than on WM 6.1. I'm on Orange Romania.

Guest swollenballs Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm pretty sure Windows mobile update 6.5.3 contains the answer to all these call quality related problems. Its just getting a hold of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mickh Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 where did you unlocked? The noise issues with TG01 are driving me to moving my Orange sim to my 4yr old n73 to be able to make telephone calls, the TG01 is a great device but for the fact that it's useless a a phone. After many hours trailing the forums and calling help I have come to the conclusion that it is the phone software that is causing these audio problems for the receiving caller. This is now confirmed by tech support at Toshiba; see message to tech support from me, below: "The other caller experiences poor sound quality of my voice breaking up and strange noises. This is a problem with almost all my customers on landlines and various mobile networks and they cannot understand my calls to the extent of dropping the line for my home or office landline which is of no use when I am out working i.e. what we use mobile phones for. The forums seem to agree that there must be either a network provider setup problem or Toshiba software issue with this phone. The fault is intermittent but too regular to be acceptable and I need to get the problem fixed. Is there a software update that can be downloaded for this device?" Their response: "Thank you for contacting Toshiba Mobile Communications. Regarding your enquiry Toshiba is aware of the problem and is currently working on getting an update for this , as soon as this will be available, it will be posted on Toshiba's website. Please do not hesitate to contact us again for further assistance and use the reference number found in the subject field for all enquiries." I also emailed Orange and they are yet to provide any feedback other than they are looking into my comments. The fault is in the device and we need to exercise 'user power' to report the problem to both Toshiba and your service provider to speed the process of correcting the device issue. email or phone your provider with complaints and email the Toshiba tech support (via the toshiba website interface) and eventually they will do something about it. More complaints, more pressure and maybe the problem will be resolved. In the meantime I am on a beefed up 2600 mA Mugen TG01 that is only useful as a PDA with an old n73 for communications, poor atate of affairs, dont you think.

English is good, better than my Hungarian :D Yes we will have to use the power of the people and complain to BOTH our mobile providers and Toshiba to get a result. It seems like this has beenan ongoing problem for the TG01 since its launch so I am converned that they have not found a solution during the period of time it has been on sale. I am off to the Orange shop this week to insist ;) they give me another phone (of different manufacturer) whilst the audio issues are resolved. This is what we use a mobile for after all. Will keep the post informed if I get anywhere with them. If we hurt the providers financially then they will put more pressure on Toshiba to make the fix. A generally good device let down by the most basic of phone requirements, voice; Toshiba will learn eventually and I am sure that they will provide a solution that will make the TG01 the useful device that it should be. Also if you intend keeping your TG01 then consider the Mugen 2600mA battery, it makes the device into a 3 to 4 day usable tool and not a daily, "Oh I may run out of battery before finishing work today" toy. check out other info on this forum for data on the batteries, I posted some photos earlier today.

Guest Ács Lajos Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 What do U think for a webpage: www.toshibatg01unusableforcall.com (with hundreds of "signatures" of unhappy tg01 owners, naturally)? It's just an example, maybe there are better solutions.(dontbuytg01forcall.com) If the weird voice and the distort is not hardware problem, they why not fix it with a simple software update? I think this problem cause the hardware, maybe the too high signal levels.(in and out levels) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(a top phone device which unusable for call? for 200-300-400 pounds :D ) I had a Qtek 9100 before its worked perfect. Just been contacted on email by Orange and after a phone call to their support, they are sending a replacement device out to me tomorrow. I told them that this is unlikely to be a sucessfull solution but they insisted that they cannot change the device to another type ;) . Will have to see what the replacement phone is like but probably the same. They did emphasis that the replacement would be new and not a refurbished replacement, maybe they are selling old stock in the shops and people who complain will get the updated versions without vioce issues. here's hoping that's the case? I will report back after a few days testing the replacement device. www.toshibatg01unusableforcall.com sounds good, let me know if you put one together. More complaints to both toshiba and the specific service providers may put sufficient pressure on them to do something sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
