Problem with the sx66 that makes me crazy. I can not hear incomming calls sometimes. (1 out of 10 calls) Caller can hear me, the phone timer is counting, but no caller voice. Some times I can just hang up and when they called back everything worked fine. Sometimes I must soft reset. This also happened sometimes when I called out (not as much). Is this a pda phone thing, softwear glich, or something I am doing? Ready to go back to cans & string!
Also just got new cingular 8125. I have used the my new 8125 for one day and it has happened 2 times out of 15 calls. Any thoughts?
I have had a simular issue. Do you have TomTom Navigator? I found that sometimes the TomTom software seems to make the sound go down. I had to replace my phone shortly after i first installed TomTom because I could not get any sound out of the phone whatsoever, even after soft and hard reset. With my new phone, I still experience some volume related issues, but not as bad as before, and a soft reset usually fixes it. Now when it happens, the volume cuts down maybe a little more than half and I barely can hear the navigator voice. Good luck on your issue.

Hi,
About seven days ago, the sound of my phone (mic and speaker) disappeared completely (ringtone and beeps etc. are still working). When I call someone, or I am being called I hear nothing. Neither does the other side.
Strange thing is:
- the phone-sound DOES work through my bluetooth headset (so I CAN make/receives calls, using the set)
- the phone-sound DOES work through the device itself when it is on external power! The moment I disconnect the external power, the sound (from mic and speaker) disappeares.
Other strang thing: when I press some (software) buttons in de phone application during the call, the beeps can be heared on the other side (so I can send you an SOS !).
Someone any ideas?
Or do I just have to send it in for repair?
(Allready tried:
- soft reset
- hard reset
- turn bluetooth on/off/on
- downgrade to former ROM (from 1.40 back to 1.22)
)
Thank you in advance,
Frank
I have roughly the same problem with my old jam.Since I have got a vpa but would still like to get my jam working.My problem is that I can't hear them,they can hear me though,but when i put speaker phone on i can hear them fine.All other sounds work fine and tones etc just speaking on the phone without loudspeaker on....funny
In my case, I can't hear them, and they can't hear me.
AND: the speakerphone doesn't work.
The speakerphone DOES work when my phone is on external power.
It seems our problems are slightly different.
Dont flame me if i am wrong and teaching you to suck sour eggs, but in the phone app under handfree preferences have you got the use headset option checked? if so is it not purely that the voice is going to you BT headset as it is in range whilst you yoursellf are not realising this is the case?
just a thought as from the syptoms you describe this looks like the most likely reason.
but feel free to tell me it aint so
Hello. My first posting. I have looked to see if this has already been asked.... After using mute or vibrate function on my XDA 2s unit, and then switching to making a call or trying to receive a call I can't hear the dial tone, or the other person on the other end of the call. I can only make and receive calls once I soft reset the unit. This is becoming a regular occurence. Any ideas would be much apprecaited.
Craig.
same problem
I also have same problem. my XDA IIs often have a problem with the incoming/outgoing calls which is I can't hear the tone nor the person's on the other end of the call (but the person on the other end of the call could hear my voice). It often (not always) happens without the device had a recent setting change or running program so on one occassion it just handles the calls perfectly and suddenly the problem happens and I also have to soft-reset it to make it back to normal, and it is becoming regular.
This is unfortunately a well known bug that none radio upgrade could solve so far...
Look at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40417
The problem seems to occur only when Bluetooth is off... So the solution is to turn Bt On (and then off if you wish so) and it's ok without soft reset...
The best way to avoid it is to let Bt ON but to uncheck "Allow other devices to detect me" (forgive me if the english translation is not accurate but my PocketPC is in French) in the Bt parameters to avoid power consumption.
It worked for me so have a try
I've had a O2 XDA Orbit for about 3 months now without any problems, but it seems to devloped a strange fautl today.
This morning (around 7am) the alarm went off as usual, but come about 10 when I tried to make a phone call the call was placed but I could not hear the other person (and she could not hear me). I checked out the phone and noticed that both volume sliders where set to off, changing them and I still could not get any sound out of the device.
In Settings Sounds & Notifications when I press the play button theres no sound, and trying the built in sound/video/midi results in no sound.
Oddly when someone calls, I changed the ring tone to an mp3 wich will play, but again I cant hear the caller, or they hear me.
I've done a soft reboot, with no help, before I tired a hard reset I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas?
I'm having exactly the same problem. If anyone has any advice regarding this I'd be greatly apperciated!
Put WM6 on not too long ago, and its been fine. Anyhow just like 2 weeks ago it sometimes makes this super annoying beeping sound. And its not a beep for a txt msg (which I would also LOVE to remove the 3 beep crap, maybe make it just one beep, if anyone knows how) but more importantly this new random beeping is driving me nuts. It seems to happen more when Im on longer calls but I may not be 100% on that.
Anyone else ever experience? Ive restarting my phone a few times hoping it would solve it but no go. I could do hard reset maybe? Would rather not but..
Oh and to note versions
ROM 3.57.502.1
ROM date 7/10/07

Thanks
Any beep I have during a phone call is because another call is coming in at the same time. This sounds like what's happening to you... "call waiting"

Sounds like a notification "beep during a phone call every 1 minute".
its def not call waiting or battery dying or txt msg or email or anything similar. Ill check the 1min beep but I dont think it happens every minute not to mention that was never turned on. Hell I dont even remember where to turn it on but ill look thru the settings.
Any other ideas? I really dont believe its either of those =(
Hello,
The only times I've heard such loud beeping is when I'm calling (or being called by) a friend who is on the Sprint network.
Every now and then this loud beep comes up... Very loud, unlike any beep/bong/screech the phone produces... The funny thing is that he doesn't hear it... :/
I assume is some kind of cell signaling that is not being filtered by Sprint...
Maybe it's a roaming alert or something like that.
As far as changing your alert for messages/voice mails, you can do that through the "sounds and notifications" icon under settings.
I sometimes get a beep to remind me that I have a message that I haven't yet opened. At least that's what I think it is.

This is what's been happening to my wife. Everybody that talks with her on the phone, will hear this loud beep. And it's really loud. If you had your stereo headset that came with the 8525 it almost hurts. She doesn't hear anything. At first I thought it was my WM6 ROM or something but it happened to my mother-in-law while on the phone with my wife, and it's happened to me when I call my wife from the company line.
She and I are both on AT&T. Now that I see this thread, I might give AT&T a call.
Yes so heres what ive concluded. I was on a 30min phone call with the woman and at approx 3minutes it made the beep. Not once again after. When I was odne with the call, no notifications (no txt, no email, no missed call, no low battery).
I will note, though, when I got an incoming call while on the phone before I thought the sound was different (may be wrong) but recently I received one while on the other line and the sound it made is the same as the one im hearing, however when i hear it, there are no calls coming in. My phone is stupid maybe and thinks someone is calling =(
May have to hard reset and hard that fixes but dont want to go that route just yet.
You sure you aren't moving the scrollwheel? I a lefthanded person sometimes find myself moving the scrollwheel during a phonecall, this also gives a beep.
def not moving it. In fact, I have also disabled those sounds from scrolling in the registry some time ago
I am not hearing a beep on mine but people that I am talking to say they hear a loud beep sometimes only once or twice during a 30 minute call. We are both on AT&T however. They also say they only hear this beep while talking to me. I've changed roms and the beep still occurs I am told.
Did you ever find any answers?
Its the spooks monitoring your calls, come on own up, what you done??
I've had a couple of odd beeps on calls too. AT&T as well. Running Schaps 4.2.
OK this happened the other day while out driving... at first i didn't notice... i was using my P3300 GPS driving far from home. (tossed tomtom which was useless for china and installed mapking)... anyway i was driving along merrily some 500kms from home, when i noticed that the GPS failed to verbally warn of a speed camera some 300m ahead, that i had manually input on a previous trip in the same location the weekend before. i had been using the GPS all day given that i had driven the 500kkms since 3am, so i hadn't changed any settings or nothing on the HTC.. but just thought at the time it was odd, but continued on... (the phone was plugged into the cars recharger) when later i noticed that i had recieved a sms, but wasn't aware of it since there was no sound... hmmm. so i stopped the car, and checked the phones settings... all seemed in order... both the phone and handset were on audible/sound and set to the highest audio level... but decided to change to vibrate mode, just to force some change, then after shutting off the GPS i powered the HTC down. waited a minute or so then powered up the HTC again... went to the handset/phone settings which were on vibrate mode and changed them back to audio and high settings...
still no sound, ok so i did a soft reset, and still the problem prevailed. i have tried to change the ring tones to something different (just the standard ringtones that came bundled with the phone), with no difference. i've gone to complete silent mode and both powered down and soft reset but still the problem is there, just no sound through the loud speaker. when i get a call & turn on the loudspeaker nothing... can't hear a damn thing. i've tried every possible combination... i have used SKtools & checked the registry just in case something weird had taken place, but the registry seems in order...
i checked mapking and made sure the audio option was selected for audible speed camera warnings -just in case, and it was fine...
if i plug in the ear piece no problem, can hear fine. if i use my bluetooth ear piece also no problem. the ringtones are standard, so nothing new there... also the other observation i have noted is that when i go to alter the default/standard backgrounds via the today page from "windows default" to either the standard "guava bubbles" or "HTC_default", the background remains as the standard blue of "windows default"
i'm looking at probably most likely having to do a hard reset, but if i can avoid doing so that would be great, as i want to keep all my contacts, my sms's and more importantly i have a shiet load of software/apps installed, plus some custom registry hacks, so that i'm able to view/read chinese on the WM5 English OS. none of which i'm looking forward to having to reinstall should the hard reset be my only option...
the phone hasn't missed a beat... its 4 months old, i haven't upgraded the ROM, nor gone for the WM6 upgrade due to the fact that i have so much software on-board that isn't compatible with WM6 yet. my view is... why fix something that aint broke???
anyone else had this issue with the loud speaker just kind of stopping...?
as i say it had been working fine and was in use for hours and hours that day when all of sudden ithere was no audio sound from the loud speaker. but nothing had changed...
any ideas???
additional...
...just to clarify one point concerning the wallpaper... that problem with the wallpaper/background has happened since the problem developed with no sound on the loud speaker, so that makes me think it might be a registry issue/conflict and not a hardware issue... however when i choose a different wallpaper like a photo etc, it displays. the problem seems to be with the 3 standard wallpaper/backrounds
I use the GPS alot with volume at max and my speaker died after 3 months. I sent it in for repair under warranty after an unsuccessful hard reset.
same thing happened with my mda 2 - speaker is blown most likely - di dyou live near london? if so go to southall it will cost you £20 and they fix it on the spot
