Hey there,
i've got a big problem with my BA.
i can't make any phone calls any more. I don't hear anything if i call someone, and he doesn't hear me. the phone rings, but then nothing...
i think it hat nothing to do with the silent calls problem, but i also tried the patch for it. i tried a soft and even a hard reset, but nothing helps. also tried to enable BT and so on. the speaker is still working (can hear mp3s) and the mic is recording to, but in a call nothing happens.
also tried it with no software installed after a hard reset... nothing...
another thing is, i can't put it on speaker phone, nothing happens when i stay on the phone button for a while...
does any one know what that can be?
i upgraded to WM5 but the problem stays...
phone stays silent during calls :evil:
updated to radio 1.15
i also tried another SIM-card, with another Phone company
but nothing changes....
so it must be a hardware issue, mustn't it?
can anyone help?
another weird thing,
the option "Turn Hands-free on" is greyed out when i try to call. is this normal?
further investigations:
the earphones aren't working any more... no sound while calling, and no sound from mp3s...
so there must be ha hardware problem??
perhaps anyone knows something...
Exactly the same thing happened to my XDA IIs this summer. After trying a few bits and pieces I took it into an O2 shop where they sent it away for repair. The report can back "irrepairable" so I was given a brand new one.
uh, that sounds bad :x
i don't think they will get me a new one, becaus i bought mine from ebay,
without guarantee as it looks
guess what happend
i tried it now for almost 2 weeks and nothing worked. so i decided to go to the t-mobile store, to give it back.
she tried it out, and now it worked :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
so it's working again... but for how long...

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.
You can download it from:

Hi there,
I`ve just got my first PDA O2 Orbit and I`m pretty new with PDA word. My fone is working fine with everything but when the incoming calls come, it like I turn the speaker on. I turned all the speaker off, the phone volume off, all the volume are minimum. I did the soft reset, hard reset, took the battery out for a while, etc etc, but they dont work. It is embarasing talking to my friends with the "speaker on" so loud
Any one could help would be so much appreciated.
Kind Regards

I also met this problem for my HTC p3300 last month,thn i took my phone to the service center....After checked,the changed a new main board to me and told me tat it was caused by mainboard failure....Maybe u can send ur phone to the service center and check it.
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!
Hey everyone,
I am having an issue with my TP2.
Occasionally after calls the phone will turn itself off and a message pops up on the screen saying "a wireless radio must be attached to use the phone."
Then about 30 seconds or so (sometimes longer) it will pop back on and be ok.
The happens roughly 3/5 calls i take.
it is annoying, any ideas how to sort it out?
omggg i thought i was the only one...
and sometimes i cant get back to get any
service i have to soft-reset the phone..
is ANNOYING.
yea i have had to soft reset a couple times!
I have installed SPB mobile shell 3 and S2u2 unlocker thing.
Also Garmin Mobile XT.
Dont think any of these should cause any issues, but might help.
i bet the problem comes in S2u2
bcuz i didnt have this problem, it started
after installing S2u2.
interesting.
II have just uninstalled S2u2 and soft reset. i will see what happens.
any news ?
Yea sorry,
have been busy.
'
Well since uninstalling S2U2 i have stopped getting this issue, so thats good.
Guess it must be caused by it.
however it is frustrating without the lock program, and the other few lock apps i have tried are **** in comparison.
So i dunno if i will just install it again and put up with it or what.
it is pretty frustrating man.
Definately send your devices back from wence they came if a hard reset doesn't fix the issue

It is the S2U2 that was making it happen.
after i uninstalled it, then it didnt happen anymore.
Just to be clear, its not the device turning off, just the phone component.
Trying to help my sister fix her phone and would appreciate any help. Very familiar with the Vibrant but can't seem to find an answer to her problem. What the problem is is that one day a couple of weeks ago she plugged in her headphones to listen to music and now her phone is constantly showing that her headphones are plugged in still. She cannot hear who is calling her and they can't even hear her without the headphones plugged in. I've searched XDA and google and have not been able to even find someone who has had this problem before. I'm 99% sure she has tried a reboot and a battery pull to no avail. Thanks in advance for your help guys!
Really? Not one person has ever had this happen? Think maybe a factory reset? I mean, I'd hate to do it bur if Tmo is gonna do it anyway I guess it makes no difference to try, right?
if you can something probably got stuck you can use a q-tip to clean out, as well plug in headsphones, then turn the phone off and unplug the headset and turn phone on, last thing is do a factory reset, if root can do a nandroid and do wipe
