Hermes No Audio!

Hey Guys, love the roms so far... But I've run into some problems. I loaded Josh's Hex Rom, and now currently the hardware buttons on the phone, (pickup/end/Softkeys) and the Audio is gone. I reloaded to the At&T Default ROM, and reloaded for another rom... However the AUDIO is still gone on BOTH AT&T and Josh's Winter ROM.
Any Ideas?

try installing s2p (slide2play) and see if its in headset mode...

I have also heard of the connector for the internal speaker getting disconnected after getting dropped.

Thanks for the input, I verified and could used the earphone so I took them out tapped the phone on the desk, and low and behold it works!
Thanks Guys

Hopefully that fixed it! But, if it does it again, it might be time to look into disassembling it to see if a connector came loose. I haven't had mine apart yet.

Well I fixed it, when I opened the phone up and the internal speaker was disconnected. However now is there a reason why my call buttons down't work (hardware ones)? or do I need to open the phone again?

it's possible you disconnected something else? I service copiers and have done that to myself before!

happened 3 times to me now: internal flat connecting to speaker disconnected.
Annoying. you have to open the hermes, luckily connector is not "far away". Easy to see and fix

I don't think so, this time I went all the way down to the keypad (LCD) and nothing was disconnected. However, some of the buttons periodically work. Which is strange. Anyways We'll see

Good luck! I'll be curious to know what happens.
I dread the day that I feel the need to open my hermes. I'll probably shed a tear, man I love this phone!

This is what I know as of now.... The buttons still do not work however the back light does. Which is strange... :S. Later today I will open my Hermes for the 4th time and see whats wrong with it. I will this time record a video and post it up so I can get more insight on whats wrong with the device...
Anyways
I'll post again soon!

Desire HD auto turn on speaker?

Hi, my Desire HD just automaticly turn on speaker everytime i call someone or recieved a all.
I did some searching and people say turn it off may help. I tried to turn it off (no fast boot) remove the battery, and it still turn on auto speaker
I also realized that sometimes when i turn it on, carpanel automaticly launch. So this might be some problem with carpanel. I turned off the auto option in "dock" section of the setting. Still doesnt change anything
I think the proximity sensor have problems. So i tried some test with it. It's still fine
Can someone help me with this? i even tried hard reseting my phone, it doesnt help

What rom are you using? I had the same problem once, reflashing fixed it.

I'm using stock ROM , when turn on it says the branding is SFR something. I havent rooted my phone or install any other ROM ever

Well then you could try recalibrating the g-sensor from settings -> display.

You may have flip for speaker switched on. Go to Settings>Sound and then under Incoming Calls uncheck the option for Flip for Speaker.

That was what I was aiming for. The g-sensor thinks the phone is upside down when in fact it isn't, recalibrating should fix this.

Hi all. thanks you so much for the support.
I've tried all the above, like turn off carmode, turn off flip for speaker...etc. take out the battery, sim card, sd card. It's still the same. After some digging, i found a topic about this on the DHD forum. They said it was an USB problem. i tried to plug it in to the USB and wiggle it a little bit and carmode/speaker auto turn on and off time to time. I was about to give up and when i'm on my way to return it. It suddenly come back to normal, no problem, tested with the USB cord. This is so weird !!!!! but i'm glad that it's gone away

My other half had exactly the same thing on her Desire, turns out it was dirt/ fluff in the USB socket!

I have the same problem with my DHD, since I don't have the warranty for my set, is there a way around it. Like some sort of app which turns the speakers off when u make or recieve the call. That can make my life easier.

This problem started with my phone too..I tried all above such as changing rom,usb trick,sim+battery+sd remove,calibrating g-sensor ...Only thing i did not try is changing radio..If it wouldnt help me ,i dont know what to do since i dont have a warranty too..Its really annoying..

DHD speaker selfactivating
Those problems /carmode and speaker selfactivating/ started shortly after OTA 2.3 update.I honestly don't remember how I've managed the carmode issue,but initially I was able to solve the speaker selfactivating by pulling out the headphones' plug during a phone call.That did it for a once or twice,as the result lasted for a day or two.After reading the tricks suggested above I tried them with no success until pulling out the phone end of the usb during a phone call while connected to the pc in debug mode.So far I've made a few calls and it looks OK.

I don't want to scary you, but when I had the same problem I found only one solution which works- restore to factory settings... Its a pity...

Hi ,
I have the same problem on my Desire Z. I have had the phone for more then 6 months.
I was running stock: - no problem !
I was running Virtuous Sense 1.0.1 for about 3 months: - no problem !
Yesterday I got this: it auto turns on the loud speaker when I answer or dial.
Flip for speaker is turned off, G-Sensor is calibrated !
I have updated to Virtuous Sense 1.0.2 : same problem !
I have wiped off everything and flashed Virtuous Unity 1.24.0 : TWICE !
Same problem
Sorry for posting under DHD, I did not want to open a new topic on DZ forum , but I will if I must, this is driving me crazy !

I have solved this after wiping all data and flashing the rom again (3rd try !

I told it, there is only one solution- restoring factory settings...

same problem without OTA
Got the same problem since 2 weeks without having done any changes at all to my DHD (still on 1.72.405.3)
+ Car panel starts randomly when connected to USB for charging
+ Phone speaker always on regardless what I tried before
So, I really do not think this is a rom related issue but more a "aging" problem like the GPS connectivity.
Anybody any idea, why the USB plug should be respobsible for this strange behaviour?

I'm not sure this is a USB related issue. It may be the audio jack. My problems started after unplugging the headphones while listening music, to answer the phone.

same problem here ...

My phone also started having the same problem since today morning!
EDIT: So I tried to remove battery, then cleaned the micro-usb port and the headphone port and the issue seems to have disappeared atleast for now. Don't want to do a factory reset as have too much data and apps on phone.
EDIT 2: So as it turns out it was Go SMS Pro problem that was causing the issue since its update 2 days back. The developer has released a new version in Market now claiming to solve the issue.
Anyways whatever issue it is hope it does not return.

Car mode on!

I'm using CM9 A2 right now. I don't know how, but one of my friend switched the 'car mode' on. Now my phone rotates 360° and ALL calls directly go to speaker phone.
I had got 'car mode' on notification once. Then it never came back. But I definitely saw it.
What all I tried:
- Restarting the phone
- Factory Reset
- Change Google Account
- Wiped everything and flashed the ROM again
PLEASE tell me how the hell do I shut it.

Ok, I factory reset my phone. Still that thing poped up GRRRRR..
PLEASE HELPP!!

Sounds like a rom reinstall may be your only option. Sorry

Ok so I don't think it was because of the google account. I even tried changing the google account but this thing just pops up again! GRR. Please help!!

Dirt inte the micro-USB connector. IE it thinks a car charger i plugged in because there is some short in the USB port.
Saw another thread on the same issue.

He do I fix it?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium

Clean it somehow, maybe stabbing the USB-connection a few times with the charger connector
Try to find the other thread where it was mentioned, I think they carefully cleaned the micro-usb with something until it worked.

Oh damn, it was in Wildfire S sub-forum itself?
Will try finding it right away!

Reflash the rom with GAPPS that doesn't contain Car mode? Maybe that fixes it?

Dear XperienceD,
I have searched xda developer and read several threads, but none of them had proper resolution.
If you know any thread where proper solution is provided, Kindly let me know.
Thanks.

Since you repaired it with pc companion, and still get bootloop after enabling the bluetooth, i think this is caused by a hardware fault

Download PC Companion, repair your firmware.
If problem still exists, go back to the shop.

Guys sorry for kicking an old thread but a friend asked me to help out with ARC having the same problem on stock ICS 4.0.4 is there any solution for this? If I were to go to a custom ROM will it fix the problem?
Thanks in advance

I too have experienced the same problem..please provide.a.solution

Try this, helped so many times with Arc S:
- turn off your phone
- remove the battery cover
- remove the battery
- put a small piece of paper between the bottom edge of the battery hoousing and the battery (the side opposite of the battery connectors, so the piece of papper pushes the battery towards the battery connectors)
- put the battery back
-turn on your phone

Its not the battery or power issue.
It has something to do with software.

I had similar issue on my Arc S, and this helped. It seems that there is a loss of powerdue to bad contacts, and the voltage level drops so the phone goes into restart loop. Try it, can't do any harm

I had a problem earlier (some 10 months ago) when i turned on blue tooth it went on rebooting, I tried to get into settings and switch off the blue tooth which was not possible due to fast rebooting. Then I read read in a forum to leave the mobile to reboot for nearly 8 hrs or so, so I left it like that (to reboot continuously) for more than 6 hrs, then it became normal with blue tooth going off (I think so) and I went to settings and then to backup & reset (I think I lost some data during this). From then on I never tried to use blue tooth.
Again today (19 Nov. 2015) I wrongly pressed blue tooth instead of wifi, then again the problem of rebooting started, I was upset thinking of shunning this mobile once for all. Then suddenly I searched in web and got this link :xperia-arcs-auto-reboot.blogspot.in/2012/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-s-auto-reboot.html , where it is asked to keep the battery tight in it's place to keep good contact with its terminals in mobile. Before doing this, I took a conductive metal (a small knife) and I shorted all the three pins in the mobile where the battery touches to give power. *WARNING: NEVER TRY TO DO THIS IN THE BATTERY*. Then placed a piece of paper in the back of the battery and inserted in the slot. Then I switched ON and it started and the boot was holding for some time (say 30 seconds), with in which I went to settings and switched of blue tooth and switched off the mobile. Then removed the battery and inserted again with the same piece of paper and restarted, now it's working.
In my experience, this mobile is having problem both in the battery placement for tightness and in the blue tooth software also. Otherwise this is a good mobile. Thanks for the forums which helped me salvage my mobile with many important contacts. I share this here out of gratitude for these forum. Otherwise I would have to spent a lot for software reloading if I went to authorised or some dubious service centres.

Help!!!!!!

I`ve got a problem with my HTC that I can`t solve. First it wouldn`t charge, then the speaker suddenly turns on/off while speaking with someone. While texting, the messages suddenly disappear, so I have to type it again. Then my car navigation app turns on and off for no reason. I installed the antivirus protection and it`s still the same. Then I reinstalled the software , but still no changes. Has anyone ever had a similar experience, and what did you do to fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

R u tried charge your phone with another charging cable ??

Not charging, and randomly going to car mode; both indicate an issue with the MicroUSB port.

That would be my thought, yes.
Although I don't think it explains the other problems. Running the proper RUU (if OP's version has one) may be a good idea, and see if it helps with any of the problems.
