No sound, no sync

Hello,
If there is a thread about this subject, please direct me to it because I couldn't find it.
I have an XDA Cosmo running on WM6.1 (ricky's)
All was reasonably fine untill this sunday. All of a sudden it doesn't make any sound anymore and there is the headphone symbol displayed at the top. When I plug in a headphone, I can hear to that offcourse.
It is also very hard to sync it with my computer. I have to try dozen's of times.
I'm guessing that there is something wrong with the connector. Do you have any suggestions?
The strangest thing is that when I reboot my phone, it doesn't occur untill i plug something into the mini-usb connector.
Another strange thing was that it changed the colour of the homescreen automaticly overnight. I don't think the two problems are related, so any suggestions for this one?

yesterday, completely out of the blue, my phone had the speakerphone all the time on. I couldn't get it normal again. Then, later that day, the headphone symbol reappeared, so I couldn't make a call anymore.
When I connect it to my computer today, it keeps on switching between connected and not-connected for 2 minutes and then decides to be not connected. Even when I leave the room and there are no noticeable vibrations that could cause a bad connection.
Anyone has an idea? Because the phone is useless right now and I can't flash another rom when I can't connect it to my computer.
Greetings and thanks a lot for any piece of information.

turn off bluetooth

Bluetooth hasn't been on the last couple of months, so I don't think that that is the problem

[Q] Lumia 900 weird issues

I just got a Lumia 900 white and i have noticed the following issues.
The Lumia restarts on its own. It has restarted twice since i got it.
Weird purple screen in low light condition
Rattling sound when phone vibrates. Not like the usual vibrate
Would not connect to a specific router whereas all my other devices can. It can still connect to other routers though
I am running OS version: 7.10.8773.98 and firmware revision number: 2715.1601.8773.12141 which i assume is the latest (tango).
Should i be facing all these issues? I googled around a bit and i found that these issues were previously addressed with updates.
To note, it's an unlocked phone. I can use it with any carriers i want to.
Is there anyway i can re-install tango? I am assuming it's a software issue.
Help please?

Mine never restarted on its own.
I still have the purple screen problem pending a firmware update.
The vibration sound in this phone is like that. All models sound like this.
Never had trouble connecting to any wifi access point/router.

I am having rebooting issues. I think I've narrowed it down to low signal issues. My office is in the basement floor behind the elevators so I'm constantly in and out of signal. I fluctuate between 1-2 bars of 4G or LTE and no signal at all. If I have no signal, it will not reconnect unless I switch it to airplane mode and back. On a few occasions, it has rebooted on me only when I'm at my office. I have contacted Nokia customer support and they wanted me to send it in under warranty. I told them that was useless and that my replacement would have the same issue and told them to try to reproduce the issue with their QA/Dev teams. No response yet.

Mine has shut down twice now for no apparent reason, Always after using Nokia Drive, It was a real pain to start the phone back up too, Had to hold power button for a while, I did think it may be down to signal drops as when travelling the phone has to switch a fair bit I imagine, The phone did get a bit hot so maybe overheating as on both occasions the weather was very warm especially in the car.

no reboot, no purple screen, no ratteling sounds...
but WP7 have some issues with connecting to AP or routers set above chenel 10 (if you are not using automatic). my home router and AP were set at 11 and 12 and my HD 7 could never get connected... and when i changed to lower then 10 it was fine... so now my AP and routers are always set this way.

I have had my phone shut itself down three times now for no obvious reason. That's a bit of a worrying issue if you're on call for work and need people to be able to contact you at any time.

The phone restarting by itself is definitely a weird issue. I never had that happen to me before.
The only weird thing I encountered was the touch screen stopped responding. So I locked the phone and then unlocked it and it worked.
The issues you guys are bringing up here should definitely be covered by Nokia.

Only issue I have is the lumia not syncing contacts to my car's hu...
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

Yes...
I have had my Lumia 900 for one week, and also had a few a few problems:
1. Two restarts (phone is on, but asks for pin and lock code). Both of which are in a location with very poor/no reception. Both where during the morning (4am and 6am) (can see boot time using a program).
2. Complete discharge, wont initiate charge from computer (think it might have been because I skipped the "red low battery charge phase" (or what we should call it?). Does however charge from a computer if I let it charge with the red battery for a while, then boot it self and after a while it will start charing (with the charge icon blinking.
3. When using the radio in loudspeaker mode, and the screen is locked, after a while (5-10 seconds maybe), it (sometimes) stops, or (sometimes) starts to lag, as if the reception is poor (although the phone hasn't been moved.) pressing the power button, (at slide to unlock) the lag instantly stops. Anyone else wanna test this one? (try a bunch of times, doesn't always happened on mine.)
4. (Pure hardware problem): Rubber gasket between case and USB has been incorrectly paced, and "flaps" in the USB contact. (clearly visible if looking directly into the USB port).
Should I take it back and say I want a new one?
OS Version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number: 2175.1601.8773.12141

You guys need to exchange for a new phone. My first Lumia 900 had restart issues while idling. The new one doesn't have any reboot problem. My G2X before had reboot problem and screen bleed. I went and exchanged for a new G2X, and problem solved. I will send my Lumia 900 to Nokia for repair as I have another hardware issue. The capacitive buttons aren't very responsive when playing audio through speaker phone.

Lumia 900 just died... like totally dead!

...and won't turn on. Totally non-responsive. It's barely 2 months old. I was browsing on it, and battery level was about 75% (3/4 charged). Connected to home WiFi. Now it's not responding at all - power button doesn't do anything. I have connected it to a power source; typically this powers on the phone even if it's off - nothing so far. Took out the SIM, and tried that too. No dice. I have the June 6th update installed.
Any one experienced something like this? Any thoughts? Any advice?

Did u try a hard reset?

1. plug into original nokia USB adapter and cable. leave connected for up to 1 minute. If nothing then,
2. as previous poster stated, do a forced soft reset holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
3. try hard reset -- hold down volume down + camera key, then press power down for 2-3 seconds.
Good luck

Would you try something a little un-orthodox? It may sound strange, but before you go and wipe all your data from your device with a reset try this:
Take your device, put it in a nylon/plastic bag (like those you put your sandwich in) and seal the bag. Now put the bag with your device into the freezer (YES! that thing in your kitchen!) for 15-20 minutes.
After that, take your device out and try to turn it on.
This method worked for a similar problem which occurred with another Nokia device with a non-removable-battery, the N8...

How to perform a soft reset http://www.wpcentral.com/tip-how-soft-reset-nokia-lumia-800-lumia-900

Thanks to everyone who replied. I tried the key-combinations to perform a reset. Did not work. Used the Nokia charger and left it plugged in, no change. Even tried the freezer-bag advice... nada. Phone was truly dead, from a 100% running state. Extremely weird. I've been in touch with Nokia USA and would have taken it to the store on Monday morning.
HOWEVER - out of nowhere, totally randomly, it turned itself back on at some point. I had it on my bed-stand, and was in the other room when I heard it ring. Ran over, and sure enough - it was alive, well and performing like nothing had happened.
No idea what (if any) of the methods I tried worked, but it resuscitated itself.

LOL! You probably got the Lumia 900P - the Phoenix version! :laugh:
To tell you the truth, yesterday I had a strange "almost dead Lumia 900" moment myself! I was on my way from work to the bus station, while listening to music on an internet radio station (I'm using the "Tunein Radio" app) when I decided to change the station I was listening to, and when I switched to the other station the screen became entirely black and all I could see is the station's Stop/Favorite/Bookmark buttons.
Anything I clicked on did absolutely nothing... At one point the screen became completely blank but the device was still working (I knew it was still on because I could hear the static 'clicking' sound in my headphones when I connected them to the device), so I just tried pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds, and the device finally turned itself off...
After turning it on again, everything was working as if nothing happened... Odd stuff...

[Q] HTC One X won't turn on

I know there are already a LOT of topics concerning this - I have read through them all frantically, trying to find a solution before turning to asking myself.
So, here's exactly what happened, and what I've tried.
My phone was just fine, running perfectly, nice battery life. I had been running CarbonROM for about 2 months, without any issues, didn't change anything recent to this problem occurring. So one night I was at a party, and didn't have an available charger, so my phone ran out of power completely. The next morning when I came home, I set it to charge, the LED lit up, as far as I remember at least. In the evening I turned it on, and I got to the SIM pin-code unlock screen. I entered the PIN, and my phone turned off. No crash screen or anything, it just went straight out. I figured that maybe it hadn't charged properly, so I let it charge for a few more hours, and then tried again - same thing happened. I instantly tried to turn it on again, but this time nothing happened at all. I held the power button down for at least 1 minute, to no avail. When I put in the charging cable, the LED doesn't light up.
So, as I said, I have been reading around on this forum and other places, trying to find a solution. Some people said holding down the power button and volume up and down at the same time for 2 minutes would fix it, it didn't. I have tried several times. Most recently someone said I should connect my phone to my PC with the USB cable, and then hold down the power button and volume down. This time, something did happen. But not on my phone's end. I have done this 2 times, with the same result. At exactly 7 seconds, my computer turns off, as if I had "choked" it by holding down the power button on the PC. This seems really odd to me, since the phone can't even turn on, so I don't see how there can be any connectivity.
I hope someone here has a solution, knows why it happened, or can at least guide me in replacing any part if needs be. I hope not, though.

Bump
Should I just send it in for a repair? I have an idea that doing so will be very expensive...

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?

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% !
