Desire HD auto turn on speaker?

Hi, my Desire HD just automaticly turn on speaker everytime i call someone or recieved a all.
I did some searching and people say turn it off may help. I tried to turn it off (no fast boot) remove the battery, and it still turn on auto speaker
I also realized that sometimes when i turn it on, carpanel automaticly launch. So this might be some problem with carpanel. I turned off the auto option in "dock" section of the setting. Still doesnt change anything
I think the proximity sensor have problems. So i tried some test with it. It's still fine
Can someone help me with this? i even tried hard reseting my phone, it doesnt help

What rom are you using? I had the same problem once, reflashing fixed it.

I'm using stock ROM , when turn on it says the branding is SFR something. I havent rooted my phone or install any other ROM ever

Well then you could try recalibrating the g-sensor from settings -> display.

You may have flip for speaker switched on. Go to Settings>Sound and then under Incoming Calls uncheck the option for Flip for Speaker.

That was what I was aiming for. The g-sensor thinks the phone is upside down when in fact it isn't, recalibrating should fix this.

Hi all. thanks you so much for the support.
I've tried all the above, like turn off carmode, turn off flip for speaker...etc. take out the battery, sim card, sd card. It's still the same. After some digging, i found a topic about this on the DHD forum. They said it was an USB problem. i tried to plug it in to the USB and wiggle it a little bit and carmode/speaker auto turn on and off time to time. I was about to give up and when i'm on my way to return it. It suddenly come back to normal, no problem, tested with the USB cord. This is so weird !!!!! but i'm glad that it's gone away

My other half had exactly the same thing on her Desire, turns out it was dirt/ fluff in the USB socket!

I have the same problem with my DHD, since I don't have the warranty for my set, is there a way around it. Like some sort of app which turns the speakers off when u make or recieve the call. That can make my life easier.

This problem started with my phone too..I tried all above such as changing rom,usb trick,sim+battery+sd remove,calibrating g-sensor ...Only thing i did not try is changing radio..If it wouldnt help me ,i dont know what to do since i dont have a warranty too..Its really annoying..

DHD speaker selfactivating
Those problems /carmode and speaker selfactivating/ started shortly after OTA 2.3 update.I honestly don't remember how I've managed the carmode issue,but initially I was able to solve the speaker selfactivating by pulling out the headphones' plug during a phone call.That did it for a once or twice,as the result lasted for a day or two.After reading the tricks suggested above I tried them with no success until pulling out the phone end of the usb during a phone call while connected to the pc in debug mode.So far I've made a few calls and it looks OK.

I don't want to scary you, but when I had the same problem I found only one solution which works- restore to factory settings... Its a pity...

Hi ,
I have the same problem on my Desire Z. I have had the phone for more then 6 months.
I was running stock: - no problem !
I was running Virtuous Sense 1.0.1 for about 3 months: - no problem !
Yesterday I got this: it auto turns on the loud speaker when I answer or dial.
Flip for speaker is turned off, G-Sensor is calibrated !
I have updated to Virtuous Sense 1.0.2 : same problem !
I have wiped off everything and flashed Virtuous Unity 1.24.0 : TWICE !
Same problem
Sorry for posting under DHD, I did not want to open a new topic on DZ forum , but I will if I must, this is driving me crazy !

I have solved this after wiping all data and flashing the rom again (3rd try !

I told it, there is only one solution- restoring factory settings...

same problem without OTA
Got the same problem since 2 weeks without having done any changes at all to my DHD (still on 1.72.405.3)
+ Car panel starts randomly when connected to USB for charging
+ Phone speaker always on regardless what I tried before
So, I really do not think this is a rom related issue but more a "aging" problem like the GPS connectivity.
Anybody any idea, why the USB plug should be respobsible for this strange behaviour?

I'm not sure this is a USB related issue. It may be the audio jack. My problems started after unplugging the headphones while listening music, to answer the phone.

same problem here ...

My phone also started having the same problem since today morning!
EDIT: So I tried to remove battery, then cleaned the micro-usb port and the headphone port and the issue seems to have disappeared atleast for now. Don't want to do a factory reset as have too much data and apps on phone.
EDIT 2: So as it turns out it was Go SMS Pro problem that was causing the issue since its update 2 days back. The developer has released a new version in Market now claiming to solve the issue.
Anyways whatever issue it is hope it does not return.

New Issue about camera!!

i noticed a strange problem after i did the following:
1- Configure Face lock for the device and it's working normally
2- connect the device to PC.
3- after using the device normally for about 5 min restart it while connecting to the pc.
i'm not able to unlock it using the face lock anymore as the Front camera isn't working gives black screen even after restart!!! the back one as well!!!
i made data factory reset (twice) and the camera is back to normal.
has anybody been there or tried this before??
this happened to me 2 times after doing the same above steps.
can somebody help

in which mode do you connect your phone to the PC? If its harddrive, the issue might be that the camera cannot access the phone's memory and will not allow you to take picture.

of course not harddrive!
it's only in 'charge only' mode
also if it was like you said, after restart it should be back to normal but it doesn't
and its not about taking a photo, its about the camera itself doesn't work gives me black screen only.

This is the most similar thread I've found to my problem.
I noticed today that my camera isn't working anymore. When I'm starting any camera app the screen is black for a while(some ui elements are still visible). After ~10 sec the screen is covered in multicolored stripes. (cant link image since I'm a new user :/ )
The last time I remember it working was when using front facing camera in skype.
I have tried a couple of other apps, restarted and factory reset the phone with no results.

[Q] Bricked device after updating on B117

Tried to update to B117 using the dload folder on the SD card and local update.
[topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46062184#post46062184]
The phone restarted, went to the update mode ... and then blank... frozen black. I just took my eyes off it 2 secs. It was writing yellow log lines for the update status, then it was gone.
Given the fact that I get not even a charging amber led when I connect the cable, it seems it's in "coma".
And since the battery is not removable I cannot do the tricks I used to do with my old DHD.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I think you should download firmware for your mobile and flash it.Put the firmware in sdcard/dload/update.app. by some card reader. Now insert sd card and press vol+ vol- and power button. Install firmware and also go to recovery mode and wipe cache. You can access recovery by pressing vol - and vol + button simultaneously.
If the phone does not turns on then connect it to charger for an hour two and retry.!!

Thanks for trying to help. But ... the phone was frozen black. No response, nor to trying to shut down/power off, nor to charge (no led turned on), nor connecting to PC.
Entering the factory menu (holding + / - and power on) did not work either.
The only option that remained was to disconnect battery. But guess what? )))))
Anyway, I left it several hours ago to the Vodafone Store for troubleshooting. Now, I'm just waiting for them to call me back in a few days.

[Status update]
The phone is still in service (1 week and counting). I assume it's going to have some hardware replaced. If it was just a software issue, this would have been solved way quicker.
I am waiting to see whether it was the same motherboard replacement issue some others mentioned.

In my case before bricking it, I had issues when the phone was charging or connected to USB, it had incredible lags, even scrolling through the home screens. The firmware was B103 or B106. I did not had the chance to try B117.
When it was not connected to any cable everything worked very smooth.

It is clearly stated in any smartphone user manual, that when phone is charging, the phone and the screen can become unresponsive.

Never read the manual ) But still, it's the first device I have, which got this issue. And I've had a few.

I have just picked up the phone from service. They said the main-board was changed, but given the fact that the back plate, bezel are new with the protection films on them, I think it's a new phone. It has the B106 firmware.

i have same problems. after update(update was 100% OK) the phone turn of and after this not turn on. black screen. after 5 hous when i connect the charger was red LED notification light. after this i try turn on and red light turn off. now no any react

Sorry to hear that. You're going to have to go to service. Main-board fried. If it's under warranty you should get a replacement, most probably a new phone.

the phone was bought in CHINA. i do not have warranty, where i can buy mainboard?

[Need Help] G960F not charging, But OTG Works.

Hi,
My Galaxy S9 (Exynos) just stopped charging today. It had no problem this morning, but when I tried recharging in the evening, it won't charge at all. Connecting it to PC won't work either. But OTG works just fine. I am wondering if it is a hardware or software problem.
I unfortunately do not own a wireless charger so its almost dead now. If I could confirm it's a hardware problem, I would just buy another charging board but I would like to confirm it first before buying. Is this a common problem in s9? Could there be any issue on the software level?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

the only things that come to mind that could cause this is the board being bad or the kernel being corrupt. If you can OTG, you should be able to Odin with it (key word there is should), if you can Odin with it, just flash the HOME_CSC firmware files and if it charges afterwards, then you know it was the kernel. If it still doesnt work, bad charging port/card

Thank you for your response, but as I have said, my PC cannot charge it or even detect it at all. OTG is the only thing that works. Maybe the phone is blocking any data transfer when power come along on the usb port? Am I making any sense?

you are making sense, but if the OTG works, then data transfer should be working too. Can you boot to DL mode?

I tried going to dl mode again and noticed that I can only boot to the warning screen, and then the volume button stops functioning there. Volume buttons works normally in recovery and OS. And also, I borrowed my friend's wireless charger and it was able to charge just fine with it.

I apologise for quoting you again and again, but I just wanted to update you that my Bixby button was stuck which made the volume buttons not working in the warning screen. I tore down the phone, fixed the bixby button and now I can boot to dl mode. And good news, Odin can detect the phone in dl mode. I will flash as you suggested and report back. Thanks a ton

So, I downloaded the firmware, did a complete wipe with the csc file. Annnd bad news, it still won't charge I just gonna buy a new charging board.
I wonder why the usb works only in download mode though, still give me doubts that the charging board is the culprit. :laugh: anyway thanks for helping.

Hey, I faced a similar problem today, what was your solution to fix it?

I got the screen on my S9 replaced and now it won't charge... usually. I took it back to the shop and they got it to charge with a different cable. I tried a different cable at home and it worked for a while, but now it's not charging again. So annoying and confusing.

I am going to write how it went since there are people asking. Maybe will be helpful or not helpful for people who stumble across this thread in the future too.
So, I gave up trying to fix it and bought a new charging board, it worked for a day and then it stopped working again. I am pretty sure even the original charging board was just fine. I think the whole issue had something to do with Samsung's security or self-protection system.
I will not buy Samsung again. Thanks.

Yesterday my phone kept restarting, and my Sim card wasn't functioning when it did turn on. It wouldn't even power on after a while, had to wait for about 20 minutes and try again. One weird thing I noticed is I couldnt search settings (setting suggestions wouldn't work) I used an air compressor on the Sim card slot with the cover removed and it seemed to help. But I also did some software changes to see if it would help. like turned off memory extension and cleared dalvik cache and cache with recovery. I'm not sure what exactly made my phone function like normal again.
So after about a day the issue starts again, first my Sim card shows up beside my clock with an X through it,the data icon gets grayed out, I will not be able to access the mobile networks option In settings without my phone freezing and a process has stopped responding message ,and my settings suggestions stop working too. I'm just really confused lol, because it seems like software, but the only thing that actually made my phone work like normal again, was removing the Sim card slot and blowing Compressed air into the phone. Simply removing and reinserting the sim card did nothing, but the air helped.
I can't tell if I'm having a software issue, or hardware issue, or I suppose it could also be the sim card itself maybe, but yeah if anyone can shed any light it would be amazing.

I think something is overheating in the phone. I haven't had any issues since it's been a little cooler weather wise, where I live.
Second guess is the phones been "sweating" moving it from hot outside to cool inside ac, maybe created internal moisture condisation. I'm leaning towards mosture because taking Compressed air to the open sim card slot, seemed to be the only thing that worked.
I am wondering if this is something that can be easily repaired (opening phone and resoldering maybe) or at least that's my hope, I really don't have another phone to use if I send this one away to be fixed.
Edit: So it's been a few weeks now and I haven't had any issues.
I downgraded my kernel to previous version (BaalamKernel-2.1.1_alioth vs newest)
And I've been using my phone without its case in hopes it can breathe better or dry out any moisture that built up over time.
Still not sure if it's hardware or software but knock on wood, no issues so far.
