XDA IIs Sound Problem

Searched for this problem here, can't find relevent post so apologies if its been covered before.
I love my XDA IIs, However I'm experiencing this problem. When I put the phone into 'Vibrate' mode it stops the phone's sound. Either from or to my XDA on a call. A soft reset brings it back but its damed inconvienient. I use vibtate a lot too.
Help me guys, my girlfriend constantly ribs me about it! 'Your phone is great at everything except being a phone...'

The same me prolem with.
It may be ROM or Hardware ?
I have Update again ROM the same or other version but can not.

I've got the exact problem.
Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28534 I beleive they are linked.

Check out PhoneAlarm software from www.pocketmax.net
This gives you much more control over all your alarms and profile settings. Couldn't live without it now!

Anyone have no vibrate in new WM6 roms?

Hi All
Since the release of the official WM6 roms I have tried both the Dopod rom and VP3Gs AT&T rom and with both I have trouble getting the vibrate for incoming calls, SMS and emails to work.
On the Dopod rom it was intermittent, changed to VP3Gs rom and now it doesnt work at all. Never had this problem before.
Im using PhoneAlarm, have tried various different versions fom the official release to several of the most recent betas and still no vibrate. Dont think PhoneAlar is responsible.
Read all the other threads and no one else seems to have mentioned this so Im wondering if its just me.
Cheers
Rob

Sounds like its just you..sorry

Just tried on my Vodafone 1605 with Dopod ROM - working fine.

Not here
tried them all, never was an issue here
======

My Vodafone V1605 has lost vibration after upgrading to Dopod ROM. I'm also having problems with keyboard (sometimes, none of the front buttons work, but side ones work fine), and sometimes screen gets white, and comes back when you switch off and on.
I didn't know the cause, so I went back to an HTM WM5 rom, and to ATT or Black Satin, with no success.
any ideas?

Well, for no apparent reason its seems to have started working again during the day today. Still dont think its that reliable so I'll try the com button / vibrate fix cab if I can find it.
Thanks for the replies folks, I shall investigate further . . .
Rob

I switched to the official ROM, and vibrate was working initially, but just like you it has stopped working. I'm going to try the above method, but please post if you find the proper fix.

I had to add the vibrating cab to my 8525 with vp3g 3.0. Funny thing is, I'm sure his hybrid had vibrating included. I don't remember-- Senior moment!

yea it did...what i remember was that when i pressed and held the com button...the vibrate icon showed up but it did not vibrate like it use to and i tested it several times. The com/vibrate button cab can be found all over the place and i'm sure it's on the wiki here somewhere...or it could be a coincidence that the described method worked

Hi robt2379,
Did happened to me couple of times with Rom updatings.......try to tap at the bottom of your pda between the IR and the USB port..it fix mine.
Good Luck.

I lost my vibration alert too.., tried above trick. no luck.
I think I'll try the vibrate cab, should I?
currently using Sleuth v2.1 ROM.

Hi guys,

Hi
I do have the similar problem with the vibrate after upgrading to wm6.
I have tried to re-install the ROM again but it still does not vibrate.
Any kind soul can advice?

I was having the same problem but i knew it wasn't any software. I think there's some problem with the vibrator as in the hardware. I sent it into the service center and they replaced it for me. it was a faulty vibrator. So its all good now. The VIBRATOR works now... lol.. that sounds soo wrong...

Hi Bernard,
That's wonderful... i will be going to the service center soon hope they are able to replace one for me ...

Is there a "Sound Fix" for the hermes WM6?

I noticed that there is no sound when I press the start menu and similar buttons. There is a fix for that in the Himalaya and I tried installing that (it was like a pretty dumb thing to do).
Is there one for the Hermes? thank you

Have you tried Settings - Notifications?

I suddenly have no sound as well.

This adds your clicks. search the forum...that's where I found it.

You can found the fix on my signature

thank you guys for all your reply but the sound fix included in the Himalaya WM6 upgrade worked on the hermes. I guess i just forgot to do a soft reset. xD
thanks again

Low volume problem since upgrade to 6.1

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to WM 6.1 and tested various ROMs.
One problem I came across is that on a phone conversation my voice can hardly be heard on the other side
Did anyone encounter this? Any idea what it may be?

Turn off WOW EFFECTS in setting...

I don't think I ever turned WOW EFFECTS on (at least not intentionally).
Where would I find this setting?

as I told you, in settings...
the personal tab.

i also have that problem. been plaguing me for a long long time.
Try a few diff types of roms but make sure they have
1. Start up animation disabled
2. SetAcousticparam in their config file
these 2 are absolutely essential, else your phone voice would be low.
though mine is more or less confirmed to be a hardware problem. if you flash the official HTC asia rom and still get this problem. yeah your case is like mine i guess. other then that, if you find out something else, do lemme know

1) done already
2) where is it?
ringtone volume is very low in 6.1 (19209).

well, with PDAViet Rom I don't have WOW EFFECTS in my personal settings. However, I did find in the Artemis forum a small cab to deactivate the WOW Effects.
Since I installed it the problem is gone!

unfortunately that doesn't work for me. i've tried mine with freshly installed cab files, even those from official HTC, with no WOW effects activated. still doesn't work.
Worst still it's a random problem. soemtimes it works, sometimes it dosen't... oh well..

do you have a2dp headset? I have PDAVIET ROM and bluetooth a2dp headset and every time i finish listening to music, turn off bluetooth i have no sound on my device. No alarms, reminders, ringtone, sms notyfications etc. Had this isue in Faria ROM too.

Sounds Stop Working

Searched in several forums but could not find anything, so apologies in advance if I missed it and please post the link.
Intermittently the sounds quit working for all alarms, events, phone, etc... I go into Sounds & Notifications to test and again, no sound. Soft reset corrects the issue, but it will come back again.
No extra media players installed, only the standard from the orignal ROM. I have Lotus Traveler installed which adds a sound event. On another PDA (Touch HD) I have BB Connect installed and it displays the same problem.
FWIW I have also seen this behavior on Kaisers and Touch HDs.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or, even better, a solution.

Sorry I can't help but I've had a similar problem. The slider sound doesn't work! Even after reset! Try changing it and still nothing! The rest of the sounds still works but they seems much quieter than normal! I don't think I've installed anything dodgy! Just seemed to happen! Any help would be great!
Thanks

same issue found in my Diamond as well. Maybe it's an issue in WinMo 6.1 in general

Actually, none of the sounds work! Just makes a noise when you change the volume! Soft reset still doesn't help!
Does anyone know what I could try please?

I have the same problem with my Touch Pro2. Sometimes suddenly the volume goes way down even though it shows its at its max. The volume is really soft and you cant hear much.
Also when I receive certain notifications I hear a small click which is proberly the first 0.01s of the notification sound it tries to play.

Count me in.....same here. Wonder, if it´s a hardware issue or a driver problem.....
Hoping for an official WM6.5 ROM soon...

Thanks for the feedback. I can tell you that this happens with AT&T Tilt running stock ROMs/WM6 too.
I am still searching for an answer and if I find one I will post it.
