Phone Sound Problem?...

I have a problem with my O2 XDA IIs, the sound works perfectly for playing MP3's etc both on the internal speaker and on the external plugin headset!
Where's the problem? I hear you asking!
Well, the sound does not work at all when in a call, the caller can not hear me and I can not hear them, although the call is connected OK. The only time I can hear the caller or be heard is if I plug in a sync cable or put the device in the sync station, at that point it works ok when in a call. I belive this to be a power requirement as it also works when I plug in the car charger?
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem, it has only been occuring for the last few days and I have not changed anything during this time which could have caused the problem... I know that's what they all say, but it's true this time!!!

Have you tried getting rid of unusual programs running in background? (Try 'Startup Manager' to take off some startup programs) or wait until any expert put a word on it.

There are only 2 entries starting and they are both the same as they have always been, the problem does appear to be quite random, as though every time I remove the sync cable something either happens or does not happen??

Does anyone know if there are any switches or anything attached to the sync connector on the phone which might be causing the problem?

I had a problem not unlike what you describe. It started after the battery ran very low on the phone while I was away from home.
The Phone would only work while in the cradle, and wouldn't work when out. The Speaker Phone function disappeared also.
I re-flashed the ROM.
I downgraded the ROM.
Re-formatted the storage card.
Took the Phone apart looking for a switch that might be stuck.
All to no avail.
Contacted Qtek who wanted me to return the phone.
So I tried one last thing before I gave up.
I left the phone with the Battery attached to run down again. (I left it for about a week)
re-charged the phone and its been fine ever since.
The conclusion I came too was it is a software register on the phone that was corrupted and the total drain of power cleared it.

When you ran the battery totally flat did this not clear all the stored data and installed apps etc? Only I'd rather not do that if I can avoid it?

Couldnt tell you sorry, I had already lost all data/apps with the reflash/formating.

No worries, if you hear or find anything elsewhere about this problem please let me know as this is getting very very annoying now!!!

Patch
Hi guys
This is a tipical problem of the BA. I had the same problem at the begining. This are the steps to solve it:
1. Backup your data (only contacts & meetings)
2. Hard reset of the device (press micro + On/Off button + reset)
3. Install the "PDA2k_UniDirectional_Patch.sa.cab" patch
4. Do not restore a whole backup (you will have the same problem again)
So it would be work fine. If you upgrade to the lastest ROM you will get this bug fixed too.
Good luck!

Hi i have the same problem and try a diferent approach.
Upgrade radio to version 1.15.
Problem appear to be solved.
I upgrade the rom yesterday, once i have change the board, and downgrade the rom.

What is this "PDA2k_UniDirectional_Patch.sa.cab" and what does it do exactly? As I'm already using the Radio 1.15.00.

Sound Patch
This file fixes the problem when you do not listen to the person who has called you.

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.

M8S Problems

Hi guys
I got an HTC M8s less than 2 months now and it has so many issues it's driving me insane at this stage....
It's on stock ROM unrooted with all the latest updates.
First issue that came up was not recognising the headphones after i plugged them in, that eventually went away after lots of searching and fiddling with settings etc.
Then it started going into Car mode while it was resting on the table, no input on my end no triggers set for it, hell i don't even own a car to use this function....
I disabled HTC car and that stopped.
The included micro usb cable somehow went bad, tried it on other devices, it will not charge....
Now i'm having some weird charging behaviour, it drops out of charging and resumes or sometimes it just stops charging (that doesn't happen when the phone is charging while being switched off, so i'm guessing it's not a hardware issue)
Another massive problem is that all incoming/outgoing calls go to the speaker which almost burst my ear drum first time that happened.
I have looked in every single forum out there and have tried all possible solutions, ranging from disabling google Chrome to trying every available speaker management/toggle related program on the play store but nothing seems to be working.
Some times if i plug in the headphones, make a call and then unplug them, then it works as it should for a little while. But later on it reverts to the previous mentioned behaviour.
One thing i have noticed, before it routes calls to the speaker, the screen will light up, no notifications come up and then all calls go to the speaker.
I used Wakelock to try and find out which program triggers the screen wake in order to remove it and maybe solve this issue but nothing came up.
Any input would be greatly appreciated as i am at the end of my rope with this device....
I still have my HTC DHD A9191 and i never had any issues with that phone, i'm very dissappointed with HTC :/
Thanks in advance
Yanni

Less then 2 months......return it ! Not even sure what you want to achieve here besides messing up warranty ?

I am using Spign slim armor case on m8s and after using it my power button isn't working.
and I have a Motion Launch problem when phone is on my pocket it opens camera, calls someone because of the sensor.Any fix about that?

ok man
look i have htc one m8 + one m7+one max
the one m7 had the same problem of u
i will give to you one solution for try
i try it on the one m7 and its work
but on one max not work
on m8 not test yet
try this:
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging.
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal
if it not charge at the first time then try it again andd u will be OK

Hi Hazem
Thanks for the input, i'll give this a go when i get back home and let you know if it works out.
Should i try this when the phone is at 4-5% ? And then let it charge all the way ?

I'm experiencing these same issues as well after rooting my M8. Hopefully someone here knows what the issue is.

Well for me all issues remain unresolved.
My guess so far for the culprit seems to be the magnetic sensor, either badly programmed or a factory defect.

u must charge ur phone
turn off the phone
let him charge to full about 3 hours
and try the method
it will work
i test it on 2 one m7 phones
let me know if that work
thx

Sorry Hazeem I understand that English isn't your first language, and you are trying to help but you are not making much sence....
You are basically telling me to charge my phone, then switch it off and charge it again even though it's already charged for another 3 hours....
Ok an update !
HTC Released a service pack along with an update for the car application, after installing these and a couple of reboots the charging problems stopped and the phone doesn't seem to be waking up without any reason, as it did before.
The calls getting routed to the speaker still remain but thanks to an app called Auto Speaker, I've managed to work around this issue. Before the updates this application had no effect, but now it works as it should by turning off the speaker when the proximity sensor is blocked.
I hope I am not celebrating too soon on this and I'll keep this post updated if anything else, related to these issues, happens.
Update 2
So far so good and with another unexpected benefit, I removed my phone from the charger Saturday morning around 11 and as of now Monday 7:30 it's at 27% !

Volume button + WiFi Problems + Touchscreen no reaction + Board computer problems

I have some questions. (Copy from the old thread)
1. I mean that i read it here, but I'm not sure. At the moment I have very often the bug, that the volume button not works. Mute works, but louder and quieter not. I don't know when it doesn't work, but after a while no function.
2. Since a few days I have the wifi problem, that wifi works sometimes and after a while too, it shows empty bars and shows the connection but it doesn't work. In other case if I start the radio he can't find any WiFi. Why?
3. Since a few days the touchscreen doesn't work. I have set, that i can See if i touch. Then it shows a point. so i can see that the touch works, but there is no reaction. After a minuten the radio shows the bootlogo and have a loop. So i have start the radio new with reset or power off from the car.
4. Since a few days if i turn off the key normally all lights form the radio and display shut down. Additionally board computer shut down too after a few seconds. Now the light from the dvd tray is on and board computer too (after a lock from the car too). I dont know why but I don't know if that is so good (Battery).
All this errors are since a few days. I tried to do any settings but the problem is always here. Does anyone no about that? I think it's an app, but I don't know which one. The last chance (if I get no solutions) is to install another rom? That is really crazy, because it's only since a few days. The days before it works perfect.
I have JY 2.73 with the Malaysk Rom from September (1024).
Thanks

Update: Now i installed 2.59 JY and tried again. WiFi will always gone with no bars. So i turn off and turn on again. At the most cases it works. But the problem is here again. The same with the touchscreen crash. 3G doesn't work. always no bars.
So the previous MCU doesn't work again. Maybe a software error.

Could you please try to measure the voltage alignedto the HU while you encounter those problems? I rellay mean at the radio side (so not at the battery poles).
Such issues could be lack of voltage. If not and flashing does not solve it could be a defective unit.
Just to ensure: You flashed Firmware AND MCU? AM I right wit this assumption?
If not: Try to flash a new ROM first (probably try Malaysk ROM)
Btw: Moved to Q&A

Thx for answer. How can i measure that? Do you know which cable it is? And if the cable shows not the 12V? What can i do to fix the problem?
Sure. I have Malaysk Rom and the MCU JY 2.59.

you would have to get amulti- or vooltmeter and attach that between plus and ground pins at your HU.
If you don't know how you should eigther try to follow another way first if possible or ask someone to do it for you (it's electrics)

Thanks. I ordered a multilmeter. Maybe it's the battery. At the moment the car works really hard if I start it. The radio takes so much battery but the radio is off. So that can be the problem.

low voltage can cause many weird problems but you have to know a new battery might not solve your problem!
If you have low voltag while the engine is ruunning then you have a different problem. eighter there is a connection issue somewhere on the path the energy takes from battery and generator to the HU or your generator might have a problem. But that is open to check when we know if it really is a voltage issue.

Hi,
i'd like to give you an update for my problems. Since the last days I have the problems, that my car didn't start. Now we see, that the battery is nine years old. Now I charged the battery (tomorrow I'll get a new battery) and the first test shows WiFi works for 3 minutes. I know - that's not a lot, but I only can try if I have the new battery. 3G doesn't work - always the same. But that's not so important for now.
At the moment I don't have the volume error. I will test it, If i have a longer car drive.
The problem with the touchscreen is actually. Since a few time, after few minutes the touchscreen is bricked and I see the points that i touch it, but I can't click anything. If I touch ten times, twenty times or often then radio shut down and shows the boot logo... forever... it doesn't boot again. So I have to make a hard reset.
And the last point with the light board computer and the light dvd slot after plug off the key is actually too. It don't shutdown the lights on the standby time from 10 minutes (set it to 10 minutes). I know now, that I can shutdown it completely if I press the volume button for 3 seconds. Than it's turn off. So it's a setting problem from the firmware?
Today I plug in the key - nothing. Radio doesn't start. So I looked behind the radio and saw, that one thin cable is not in the wiring harness and I can see the wires on the cable. So I tried to put it in the wiring harness again. I hope it works longer now. I wrote carjoying and ask for a new wiring harness. Maybe all problems will be fixed, If i have a new.

Hello again,
now I've got a solution for the wifi problem. I've tried to connected wifi - i Known that doesn't work only few seconds and after a few seconds it shows 0 bars on wifi... now I disconnected my 3g stick and LOOK it works... full bars, no losing connection. I connect 3g again and the same problem after a few seconds.
So th3 3g stick (E1750 from Huawei) makes some problem OR the usb cable?

Huawei E355 also not working. Same connection problems with malaysk rom MTCD
Any suggestions?

Headest constantly on on G4

Dear friends,
I have an issue with the LG G4, recently a sign of headset has appeared in the notification bar, without anything connected to the AUX, as a result i cant make phone calls anymore because the microphone and the earpiece are not working.
I have tried to see if there are anything inside the AUX input, but found none, afterwards i have replaced the Aux to a new AUX piece - didnt solve the problem.
As a result i tried to do a full factory reset of the phone - still same problem headest sign is on.
I dont know what else to do, have you encountered or know how to deal with this situation ? does it mean i have to replace the whole motherboard?
i am running 6.0 stock version of the phone.
With regards.

I had this issue with my lg g3. so... get the battery out , take your hair dryer and do not set on very hot and then dry the jack couple of minutes . after that put the battery back and start the phone. That should do it. I`m pretty sure u got a drop of water in there and thats the cause.

Thank you for the help, but its not the problem, i have switched the jack to a new one, i have tried now to use the hair dryer on all the pieces after disassembling the phone, still same problem.
