Fine! :-) > But the buzzing sound stays and make the FR > unusable as a phone (I tried both OM 2007.2 and the latest image of Qtopia). The "GSM-buzz-noise" issue isn't related to image used. At least that's what we think of it at the moment. It's a hw-issue. (Please note we fixed other hw-issues by sw-patch - compare sd-card/GPS). Anyway there's no *bug* in any of the sw-stacks/images that causes this issue, so changing image won't help, until we eventually might find a sw-fix for the hw-issue. > > I know this was much discussed in the ML, and I'm sorry to come with this topic again, > but I haven't found any answer yet.

Only thing you may try for now is changing GSM-provider, as it seems to be very clear the issue is to be found on some GSM-networks, and not (or less) on some others. Generally the 1800/1900 networks seem to be more likely to cause this problem than the 850/900 networks.

We don't get sufficient number of reports, and due to nature of reports nearly all are problem-reports, people without problems usually don't post a report. > > Is there any hope we can use our freed phone as a phone in a foreseeable future? See above... Investigation on issue continues. cheers jOERG
