SPVM2000 no sound (response from Orange) help needed - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi
Just got off the phone with Orange as the replacement phone they sent me also has the "no sound in call" bug (can not hear other party without soft reset)
They said, that as far as they are aware, there is no known fault with this Phone and no inherrent fault.
The Phone was supplied to me in working order and must have developed a fault after.
Their technicians are not aware of any known issues with "no sound in call" and the manufacturer is not aware of any issues with the SPVM2000.
I said itis well reported on this site, to which they said this is not an XDA it is a SPVM. so it is not relevant.
I said it is the same phone!!
I told them that I was surprised at their repsonse, but I would ask others to see if I am alone in having a Orange SPVM phone that about once a week needs a reset becuse the other party can not be heard.
Please help me. If you are another SPVM2000 user, that has suffered with this fault at any time, please reply, as I will then present them the information, that they can not deny.

Hi,
I have two SPV 2000 from Orange UK and *both* exhibit this problem with the ROM's they were shipped with (one had 1.40 the other 1.31). The one phone has been abandoned by it's user as it's just too unreliable, whilst my phone now has the Wizard WM5 port, and that does work OK (although WM5 has it's own problems).
As we all know this is the most common problem with the BA device - funny how Orange have never heard of it!

Yeah - this happens to me. It happens consistently when you turn bluetooth off. If you do a soft reset all works fine.

great, thats what I needed.
Pity no one else replied.
Ill give it another couple of days.
After this I will present them all the results and maybe a letter from Small claims, as they should not be selling phones they know will fail in service.

XDA 11s Touch screen frozen

I have recently purchased XDA11s about two weeks ago. The touch screen function initially appeared unreliable, sometimes rectified by turning off and or a soft reboot. However over the last three days the problem has become more noticable. Yesterday the problem could not be rectified by either a soft or a hard reboot. The latter if anything has made matters worse because the device requires a functional touch screen following a hard reboot to enable the PC to be set up. I have contacted the vendor and O2 support. The latter have said that it is almost certainly a hardware issue and directed me to a UK number (not much use in Melbourne). The vendor has directed me to a third party ? supplier ? repairer: Phonenomena. Will let readers know the outcome of all this. I suspect there were other problems with the device but because of my inexperience with the device, I thought I needed to learn more about the XDA. I could not set up the Wi Fi at home despite having two laptops sharing internet access with a desktop via a wireless router.
Does anyone know who is responsible for replacement/ repair of this device in Australia? I am assuming the vendor however he is interstate (device bought on e-bay), and there might be a local distributor/repairer in Melbourne.

Welcome to the Samsung i780 Bricked club!!!

MEMBER #1
Some of you may have read elsewhere that there is a problem hard-resetting the Samsung i780. I bought mine 3 days ago in NYC. All seemed fine (nice device, well specd) until I ran a regular WM6 app which by chance locked up the device (how unusual for a WM6 device). Normally i would hard reset using a combination of buttons, but couldnt find out how to do it as its not in the manual. i checked online and turns out there are numerous complaints from people with the same problem and no solution. I finally called Samsung UK who told me that there is a special number for dealing with this device, and specifically this problem. I called this number and they told me that:
(a) There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO DO A MANUAL HARD RESET ON THIS DEVICE and the capability cannot be added!
(b) To get it fixed, Samsung will send me a prepaid envelope, I have to send the i780 to them, they reset it and send it back!! only takes 2-5 days (and what am i supposed to do then?)!!! But this is a WM device. it WILL lock up every so often, they ALL do. I asked 'am I supposed to send it to you every week?'. Of course, he said this is the only option. And they wont give me my money back.
(c) The best part: They have known about this problem for OVER A MONTH - which is before they started selling them!
Guys, we have been conned!
I spoke to the retailer. he claims it is not his problem. he also wont give me my money back. So im stuck with a bricked device that if I get fixed will go wrong again, and no one seems to take responsibility. Clearly its faulty design: how could they miss this?
I smell a class action suit coming...
So for all of you out there with this device, know that our model cannot be hard reset and take real care. For all of you thinking to buy this device, I wouls suggest you think long and hard about buying a device that you cannot hard reset.
Anyone with any ideas??
strange, really.. but some quy on modaco wrote:
Anyone tried this (as posted in the XDA forum)?
"with the i780 completely off, press SEND (green) + END (red) + Power ON - it will show up the hard reset confirmation."
many times... didnt work.

Well, yes, we already made a few post about it, I am gonna start up a page for the i780 hard reset issue soon!!

this is the equivalent of a hard reset
i have a i780 , dead, because flashing with drain battery, how to put mode boot ,
Go after them!
This is ridiculous! If there is a class actions suit, count me in!! I am appalled by Samsung. I switched from being a long time Palm user (who have been very supportive if the device has been faulty) to the i780 because finally I thought here is the all-in-one device I have been looking for that had all the Treo 750 lacked.
They need to recall without questions, and provide everyone with new versions. I am so pissed off right now as the device is only 2 days old ... I will spend a lot(!) of time and effort to go after Samsung.
Calm down people They have fixed the hardreset issue in an updated rom released in Asia. So the green and red button works for making a hard reset. I am sure that Samsung in Europe soon will put this in an updated roms for us Europeans. I talked to Swedish Samsung today and an update to WM 6.1 is coming late summer.

HTC Artemis freezes or blacks out

Hi,
For two days I have had a serious problem with my HTC P3300 Artemis:
There are actually 3 different things that happen:
1. The phone freezes while working. No idea what causes it. Happened at different occasions.
2. The phone doesn't wake up when I hit the wake-up-button.
3. Often while rebooting the screens whites out or whites out and gets green or purple vertical lines.
In each case only removing the battery helps.
I use Mossisrom as my OS.
Can anybody tell me how to fix the problem? Is it a hardware or software problem? Please help me!!!

I get the problem about waking up too. Sometimes it won't for a while. I leave it a couple of seconds and then try again which usually works.
Have you checked how much free internal memory you have. WM seems to still be very sensitive to low memory.
Hi,
I am rather sure that it's not a memory issue. The system freezes completely, not just for some seconds. I can't call the phone either. I think its either a SW or a HW problem and hoped, someone could tell me what to do.

I can only suggest resetting the ROM back to a standard one and seeing if you still get the problems. If you do, it is probably a hardware problem and you should get the phone replaced.
I had the exact same problem with my P3300. It's a malfunction in the Motherboard. I've called the dutch helpdesk and because a hard reset didn't do much good the PDA was picked up later that day to be sent to Eurotwice, the repair station in Belgium. I got my phone back 2 weeks later, I started it and it froze again! So I immediatly called HTC Netherlands and again, the P3300 was picked up by UPS that afternoon. The second time I wrote a letter to the repair station and sent it with my phone. In another topic on another website I read that some other phone with the same problem had been fixed by replacing the motherboard. I got my phone back today and it works great! It hasn't crashed today, and I have confidence it won't in the future. So my tip to you and anyone who experiences this problem: Call the HTC helpdesk in your country and ask them to sent your PDA to a repair station. It might take a while but they fix it well! By the way, you have 2 years full garantee so it didn't cost me anything! Great service from HTC!
Wow, you had a great experience from HTC . I didn't. I had the exact same problem as posted. HTC claimed I broke the phone myself and wanted to charge me. They claimed something broke behind the screen and that I must've pressed it too hard, despite the screen still being intact. After three months of phone calls to the UK and a lot of empty promises (promised to get a manager to call me back, never got them. promised to discuss with repair dept and call me back, never got them) I finally got my phone back , fixed. No explanation as to why they changed their mind. I had asked them to take a picture for me of what was broken and to how they came to the conclusion that I was the one who broke it. Maybe they were too lazy to do it.

New earpiece question

So my earpiece has gone.
Not crackly, not distorted, just nothing - silence.
It was fine a couple of days ago and now it's completely dead.
The phone hasn't been dropped (well, tossed on a mattress/duvet when I'm heading to bed but not onto anything hard and from no great height), I haven't tempted fate by submerging it, I've properly nursed this phone and it's still died on me.
The one thing that I did do between it working and today was flash a different ROM.
I'm just wondering whether there's any chance that might've had something to do with it?
I went from '3.4.2 131-003' to '3.4.2-155-2'.
I know it's a long shot but that couldn't possibly be the cause, could it?
Many people have already complained about that problem (just google it!), return the phone (if your warranty isn't void because of the flashing, but i think it only affects software warranty), and they'll get you a new one. As far as I know, the newly produced defys don't have that defect anymore, mine - which I bought a couple of weeks ago - works just fine (fingers crossed!).
I'm aware that it's a known issue, I was asking because it seems that normally the earpiece gets crackly then dies whereas mine has gone from absolutely fine to completely dead in a couple of days with no usage in-between and the fact it happened after I flashed a new ROM seems coincidental to say the least.
As for the warranty, I have flashed ROMs, so fingers crossed.
same problem
I've the same problem.. no crackling, total silence. yesterday it worked perfectly fine, but since today no sound at all.
didn't do anything weird with it; flashed another froyo rom one week ago, but I can hardly imagine it has something to do with it...
I red there were more persons with a earpiece problem, but I couldn't find anyone who's got total silence from one moment to another..
is there info about this issue?
greetz
mine has gone from working to total silent the way mine was crackly was if i blew into it, it would work sometimes but now nothing at all i need to get a replaceable but dnt ave time
The problem is due to a bad connection, so I suppose it is possible it would break cleanly, going from working to silence with no interference/crackling.
I was just hoping I could fix it myself without having to rely on the Motorola warranty lottery
The fix-it-yourself thread is here. It's easily done if you are even mildly practical. I have sourced 2 SE K850i earpieces as a hedge against the future, once I'm out of warranty.
However, I am currently in warranty, so I sent an email regarding my Defy to Motorola as soon as my earpiece started acting-up. I tried to demand a replacement on the grounds that they were offering for sale devices that they knew were defective. Unfortunately, they were adamant that a repair was my only option so I sent my phone to their centre. I followed their advice, backing up, removing SIM and SD card, performing factory wipe from within Settings/Location & Security, and only sending the phone.
My phone had a custom ROM with the "android" text boot-loader so it was obviously not stock but there have been no complaints from them and I'm able to track my phone through their system. It's been repaired and is in "final testing". I'm expecting it back early next week.
Given the perceived "openness" of android, it would be a PR disaster for Motorola to void the hardware warranty on the grounds of software modification.

mmm, i have something to say ... i flashed lots of different roms, two weeks ago i went back to China 0.26, still one of the best in terms of performance BUT, i had some trouble with the earpiece.
The first time it happened i thought "ok my earpiece has gone", it was just silent, people could hear me and i could hear nothing. Surprisingly after a reboot the earpiece was working, then silence again the day after... so on for 3 - 4 times.
Then i flashed the 3.4.2-155 and the problem disapperead. No failure, no silence, after 10 days it still works.
So, could it be the problem was related to that specific rom or software i used?
Btw, did you try to flash back to your previous rom?
I got same issue last week, and my mobile operator change my phone by a new one.
It's a know pb with first MB525 products.
After flashing did-you remove back door and battery to power off/power on you phone ?
I think when we do that, we push on the back of phone and so increase earpiece failure risk.
Thanks, I'd seen that thread before but I'm still well inside my warranty and have no urge to risk voiding it any more than I potentially already have.
I have no qualms about having to send the phone back to Motorola, I just want to be sure it'll be fixed when I do is all.
It's a shame that Motorola don't allow third-parties to fix the handsets - I know an engineer that works for one of the UK high street mobile phone retailers and he says that any earpiece issues, they have to send the phones back to Motorola themselves, they can't even source the necessary parts.
If they could fix it, I wouldn't think twice about the ROM as I know he couldn't care less, he'd get it sorted for me.

Also, since the issue is known to be purely hardware and there are plenty of cases of it afflicting handsets that are entirely stock, they would leave themselves in a very shaky legal situation.
Personally, I think I'd prefer to have my current handset repaired instead of replaced as it seems to be a little gem in terms of battery life.
As for the warranty, I doubt I'll have this phone for more than a year or so.
Part of the reason I chose it was the excellent deal on the T-Mobile contract I'm on meaning that if I get the urge to 'upgrade' early, I won't feel bad about buying a second phone out of my own pocket.

No I haven't.
I only discovered the problem at work this afternoon and started this thread as soon as I got home.
I might give it a go over the weekend but part of me can't really be bothered, I might just send it away.

UK law only gives a customer a limited period after purchasing during which they can demand a replacement, after that a retailer is entitled to try and repair a faulty item if it is reasonable to do so.
Only if repairing the phone is in some way unsuccessful would the customer then be entitled to a replacement.
Sorry to hear that.
Let us know if Moto honor the warranty. It's very unreasonable to void hardware warranty just because of software modification.
My defy earpiece failed after 4 weeks. I had the orange 2.2 on the phone. Sent it to solidvision (they do warranty repair for motorola phones in belgium and netherlands). 3 weeks later they sent me a new phone, under warranty. On other sites I read that motorola doenst make a problem about earpiece issue even when you flashed other firmware.
So I handed my handset in to be sent away for repair on the 21st of March.
On the 18th of April I contacted CPW's repairs department to query where my handset was at 28 days had elapsed. The guy I spoke to raised a £10 voucher on their systems and put some sort of trace on it for me.
And on the 21st I was contacted by the store I'd handed my phone into to say it was back.
When I say 'it was back', it's not the same handset I sent away - it's a 'clearance' replacement handset. Thankfully my mate who works for CPW checked the handset's history on their systems and it's not a refurb, it was sat in a store for a month without being sold, then recalled to the warehouse so they had one to send to me.
I just hope this 'new' handset has as good a battery life as the one they kept...

[Q] Mic not working as should

Hi,
My microphone is not working as it should on the M8 when I get a call or call someone. I can hear them, they can't hear me. Sometimes it works as it should, but it happens more and more infrequent. If I turn on the speaker, the mic seems to work just fine. Isn't it the same mic? I've tried to flash a new ROM (ARHD), and it worked the first two calls, then I didn't try it for a few hours. The next call, it didn't work. Tried to factory reset it, still nothing.
This happend suddenly when I was on a vacation. I didn't flash anything or do anything (that I'm aware of) to trigger this issue. Is there another modem/radio released I can try? The only one I found, was the stock one I already used.
Any ideas?

I had the same exact issue that you were having. It just happened randomly. The only option is to get a replacement phone. If you are on AT&T )i know for sure), they will cross ship you a new phone to replace yours.
Thanks, I'll return it to stock and test one more time. If it still fails, I'll try to get a replacment.
Ended up sending it in for repair. They repaired it on Waranty, sent it back with a scratch in the display. Sent it back again.. Haven't gotten it back yet (they're sloow), but seems this is a hardware issue.
HTC one m8 mic goes kaput
Hello guys,
I haven't been here for a while now. That's because I was still using my old SGS and experimenting CM on it. Nothing special, but now that SGS has become too slow and USB connection to PC wouldn't work. I bought an HTC one M8 last week, and guess what the mic wouldn't work. Same issue that is mentioned here. I tried blowing of the dust with an LP blower, resets and everything I can but it wouldn't work. I ran an HTC hardware test and in the audio test the main mic was not working though the 2nd mic seems to be fine.
Reading up all the user problems from various sites, I conclude that sending the phone back to service center is the only option. It's really sad as my phone is just a week old and I started liking it. I still like it but come on HTC one year down and you couldn't still resolve the issue. Apparently many have the same problem hence that is pain divided.
Cheers guys!!!

How much is "many" (with the same problem)? Its deceiving to try to get a sense of how common an particular issue is, just by searching around the internet. Folks will usually only take to the internet when there is a problem; and this doesn't account for the thousands that don't have this issue (tends to blow the issue out of proportion). Can't speak for other websites, but I haven't seen this issue on XDA much at all for the M8. Every manufacturer has defects out of the box. Its the exact number or % defects that they often keep secret. You can't judge a manufacturer on one single defective device, its often just a matter of bad luck. Get a replacement and give it a chance, before you pass judgement.

Too "many" . Links that I read are here, here and here.
I agree with you that every manufacturer has defect, but this defect should have been sorted by HTC by now I believe. Don't get me wrong, I love the phone, it's amazing. But the primary use a phone is calling and that went wrong in a week made me a bit excited.

Going through those post, I see there are actually only around 8 individual folks reporting the problem on the M8 specifically. Some of the remaining complaints refer to the M7, which while HTC, is a completely different phone; so not really applicable IMO. And a few saying they have the same problem, but don't specify which phone they are talking about.
As I mentioned before, this is out of the thousands of M8's that have been sold. Sure, there are likely a good number of folks out there with the microphone issue, that haven't posted on any forums. But thousand and thousands more whose M8's work just fine, but not many folks take to the internet to post that "everything works as it should". Like I said, the internet can give you a distorted image of how serious or common an issue really is.
Not trying to start a fight, just making a point. I can sympathize with the frustration of having a expensive, brand new shiny phone not working correctly. But its likely just bad luck; and with any product, I'd recommend to give the vendor at least the chance to make it good before you conclude the entire company is crap. Not sure where you purchased from (store, carrier, etc.), country, and the exchange policy. But many vendors will replace with a brand new handset when the phone has been found to have a defect so soon as in your case.

Definitely mate, I get your point. No offense, I like the phone, but as you said, it is my frustration talking.
I will update here on the service and the happenings thereafter.
One good thing is my SGS got a new rom since HTC is back in the box.
Cheers!
Mic not working in HTC one M8
Hey All,
I had returned my phone to my suppliers and they returned it a week later telling me they repaired the issue. But after using it for 10 days, the mic wouldn't work again. I returned it again to the suppliers hoping that they would give me a replacement but they inform me today that they have repaired it now and they are sending it back. I will update again once I start using the phone.
Cheers!
I have the exact same strange problem with my M8 DualSim phone.
When i talk to people the first 2-3 sec is working fine, but then all they hear is static noice.
When i switch to loudspeaker on my phone, the microphone seems to Work fine thoug.
- i thought that there was only one microphone in the M8 ?
I have tried to power off and restart the phone, but that didn´t help at all..
My phone is on the latest 4.4.4 from HTC, it have never been rooted and never had any odd firmware loaded.
It seems like i have to send my 3 months phone old in for repair :crying:
UPDATE: Arter a few hours or sometimes days, the mic start working again...?
Actually i have two times now decided to send in the phone for repair, only to discover that it works again soon after...
But now i send it in nomatter what...?
It just happened to my M8 running digitalhigh's GPE 4.4.4 rom. This has got to be a software problem because first I couldn't hear the caller, then after a reboot, they couldn't hear me. So I used Skype and both the mic and earpiece work fine. Go figure.
i had the same problem too. What i did is just heating the bottom of the phone with hair dryer. And it is working well now.
Fixed
Hi all: I was having the same problem as everyone. Except sending my phone back was not an option—out of warranty. I fixed it by replacing two lines of code in the mixer_paths.xml file. I got the idea from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...google-low-t2805568/post53914918#post53914918
Towards the bottom of the file, I copy and pasted "main-mic" with "2nd-mic" and vice versa. That's it. Two copy and pastes, and I let the file references take care of the rest. Now my phone uses the 2nd mic as the main voice mic and people on the other end can hear me just fine.

I am on htc one e8 out of warranty which also has two mics. I dont know where is main mic but i see the secondary noise cancelation mic near rear camera lens. I run the htc hardware test with code and findout that my main mic dont work but secondary is fine. Can i try thiz on htc one e8 as they two are very similar
Also what did you change. Did you just replaced the name "main-mic" with "2nd-mic" or you replaced the texts underneath "main-mic" with texts uunderneath "2nd-mic"

That's exactly what I did. It works great for testing the audio and voip calls; but i'm still having issues with normal calls unless in speakerphone mode. I'm going to keep trying. Let me know if you have any luck.

I am still confsue what you did? Did you just replaced the name "main-mic" with "2nd-mic"
OR
you actually replaced the texts underneath "main-mic" with texts underneath "2nd-mic" ?
Do you know the position of main mic on your HTC one M8 because i cannot find it on my HTC one E8.. sometime its dirt/dust which block the mic

Hi,
My microphone is not working as it should on the M8 when I get a call or call someone. I can hear them, they can't hear me. Sometimes it works as it should, but it happens more and more infrequent. If I turn on the speaker, the mic seems to work just fine. Isn't it the same mic? I've tried to flash a new ROM (ARHD), and it worked the first two calls, then I didn't try it for a few hours. The next call, it didn't work. Tried to factory reset it, still nothing.
This happend suddenly when I was on a vacation. I didn't flash anything or do anything (that I'm aware of) to trigger this issue. Is there another modem/radio released I can try? The only one I found, was the stock one I already used.
Any ideas?

Hace una semana compre el HTC ONE M8 por internet, todo funciona perfectamente, el problema es el microfono, cuando hablo por telefono la gente no me escucha pero yo a ellos si. De que manera se puede solucionar este problema? Alguien logro solucionarlo?
Agradeceria cualquier ayuda que me puedan brindar, estoy frustrado. Gracias.
