I found the unusual solution (temporary) to eliminate the noise when listening the radio.

Our Atom radio (after 2nd ROM update) will still have the vibration noise @ background.

The Discovery:
I plug the usb connector & earpiece together.The radio is almost perfect.
The noise disappear but temporarily only.

The Frustration:
The noise will return when you unplug the usb connector.


So any other Atom users face the same problem?
You try the solution.So give some feedbacks or technical info about it.
Why do it happen perfectly when pluging usb connector only?
Our Radio need more voltage or something to listen.Is it?
Or our Radio performs better on constant voltage (AC power).......than the battery itself.


Any comments.I hope that this info will help O2 develop another better ROM update.

Good tip

Hahaha the usb connector acts as an external antenna for the radio

So any of Atom Users did the solution..?
Does it work to YOU?

I need a good technical explanation why do it happen when plug the usb connector?
Due to software or hardware problems.?

I am losing hopes on my Atom.

Disappointing its performance.

- Crappy WMA/MP3 ringtones although can save on memory card.
- Using windows media when listeing through speakers.Ngage phone can perform better when playing on speakers.
- Bit echo while making a call.

It doesn't work for my Atom

I have notice when listening to radio,
noise became louder when I turn off BT.

Even backlight hav certain effect.
