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:

I have bought BA and im very happy with it.... but i dont have any cable for it and i wanna flash from wm03se (original system) to wm05 can i do that with bluetooth? I live in serbia and a cable for him is very expensive... anyone help please???
I have another question, when press down on buttons below those four buttons on front of the phone i need a little harder to press, same to answer button, can i clean it somehow.... THANKS
I seriously doubt it, as flashing requires rewriting the internal memory, that AFAIL can only be done when the device is in bootloader.
Is there any other way to flash phone? And please help me about buttons??
You can flash through the memory card if you can't do it via sync cable.
Can anyone show how to flash through memory card step by step? or drop some link here?? THANKs
As a start, I'd try the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
i have read all about flashing but have not found how to flash with memory card... please help... thanks
I dont want to be annoying but HELP!!!! please
If you can't find anything on SD Card flashing, it may not be possible with your device.
I was hoping this was possible as well.
The BA I just got from Ebay stopped working while connected to the cradle or sync cable. When I first plugged it in to my sync cable I noticed it was kind of wobbly, and instead of showing the amber charging light it showed the red light. Putting it in the cradle it wouldn't do anything either until I left it on for a few hours then tried to do a hard reset.
After that it still wouldn't work on the sync cable, but did work on the cradle. So I flashed it from the original ROM to one of Xplodes to see if that would help. Well it works fine and I was able to upgrade on the cradle, but it still wouldn't work on just the sync cable.
Just yesterday when I tried to plug it into the sync cable again to see if it at least would charge while on it, I noticed that when it was on and I plugged it in the screen dimmed with a bunch of lines eating away at the screen. Finding that odd I unplugged the sync cable, rebooted it (worked fine) and put it back on the cradle. The moment it came in contact with the connection it again dimmed and got the wierd garbled screen, eventually going black and showing the red light instead of the amber light.
I also just noticed that the phone doesn't work. I was so worried about setting the thing up that I didn't even check that basic functionality!
So, here I have a BA that doesn't have a working phone, and can't be synced. The wi-fi seemed to work at least.
So is there any way to change the ROM back to OEM using the SD card, bluetooth, IRDA, or wi-fi? At least then I can try and send the thing back to the Ebayer I got it from. If I send it back now they'd see I have WM 6.1 on it and probably tell me I'm SOL.
Interesting problem I have had on and off. When I plug my phone into my desktop, it will connect normally, then a few seconds later it acts like I unplugged it. It's not the rom as it does it in recovery as well(both with usb-ms activated and without). I have HTC Sync installed. Rebooting either the computer and/or phone doesn't fix it, it just goes away after awhile and starts working again. I've experienced the problem FAR less when connecting it to my laptop, it will typically work there and not on my desktop when the problem crops up.
it's like this problem but it's not constantly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711616
-Edit- the device also doesn't show it's charging even when it 'disconnects'
I have the same problem. just keeps discontenting over and over it sees it for a few seconds then disconnects reconnects then off again.

Mine doesn't reconnect, it 'disconnects' and stays that way(as if i unplugged it) until i actually do unplug it and reconnect it.

I was having the same problem on my MacBook until I realized the MacBook must be plugged into power. Once plugged in everything was good. I wonder if the Evo demands more power through USB then other devices.
Yeah, sounds like a power issue to me. If you're using a USB port on a hub or on a keyboard, try one on the PC itself. Also, it could be a slow USB port or a bad cable if you are continuing to have issues. Try another computer if you can, and if you still have the problem try a different cable. Still have the issue, reflash (if you're running a custom rom) or contact Sprint for service.
Same issue here, but on a desktop PC (Dell Studio XPS) using the front-mounted USB port (not a hub). Keeps disconnecting/reconnecting, but often takes 10-15 minutes between cycles. Using stock ROM (for now, at least). Will try other ports & another PC and will report back.
Already tried different ports, only motherboard ports
Rom doesn't matter as the problem exists in both android and recovery
Don't have a different cable, however the same cable will work fine on my laptop then not work on my desktop

If it works on a laptop, but not the desktop, then it appears to be an issue with your desktop. Any other USB devices doing it?
I would check your motherboards manufacturer and make sure you've got the right USB drivers, a bios update might be in order as well.
But before all that, I've got an idea. First and foremost, try this:
Go to device manage (either from control panel, right-clicking my computer and going to properties, or searching for devmgmt.msc in the start menu search.)
Navigate down to Universal Serial Bus controllers, double click on USB Root Hub (you probably have 1 for every USB Port, so you may have to do them all.)
Click on the Power Management tab, and uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." check box and see if that solves your problem.
i had this issue on my hero. it was corrected for me after i did a wipe of data and cache. i restored from titanium afterwards. YMMV
good luck
one thing you might try is disabling sense and using the android launcher. then reset the phone. once it boots up try and connect it to your pc. This was how I got mine to connect. when I was using the sense launcher it somehow blocked that options screen and the default I selected wouldn't stick. once I got the connection to my pc working this way I was able to re-enable sense and it's worked perfectly ever since.
I do not take credit for this fix, someone else on here told me to try this n it worked perfectly.

it was nothing with the rom, since it was doing the same thing in recovery.
it turned out to be the short little usb extender cable that was going a foot and ahalf from behind my pc to the side so i could plug it in easier.

I can confirm this works on my HTC Desire - had been racking up my brains for the past couple of days now with no solution! Thanks a lot. This is on PC with Win7 Ultimate.
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.
I am having multiple issues. The big one is that sometimes when I plug in the phone to my Macbook Pro, it decides to hang the OS. But it's really weird. It's like only the mouse and keyboard hang. Music will keep playing normally, the clock in the menubar runs with no problems, and if I press the power button the "What do you want to do?" window still pops up, I just can't tell it anything. It forces me to hold down the power button for a hard restart. Here's the weird part: I can't narrow it down to what is causing it. I can't tell if it is the phone in Disk Mode or what. And it doesn't always do it. Heck, sometimes the phone won't even act like it's plugged into a computer so it won't even try to connect.
When I first got the phone it didn't do this, but a few weeks after installing DoubleTwist (the only thing I have installed for this phone) it started happening. Uninstalled DoubleTwist and it still does it.
Any help is super appreciated. I searched around and there are similar problems on other phones, but nothing as odd as this.
Thanks!

this happens to me on my macbook air when I plug in any kind of usb device. it starts working fine after a few seconds though. It doesnt bug me enough that i feel the need to find a solution right now but test if it happens with other usb devices.

I have had no other problems with any other devices. And for me, this doesn't go away if I wait for 30 seconds or so. I did find out a few minutes ago that if I unplug my phone, within 30 seconds my mouse begins to work again, but my keyboard still won't work. It seems as though if I press a few keys on my keyboard sometimes the mouse will lock up for another 30 seconds. Only a restart will make it all work normally.
gotcha. well in that case sorry I don't know
Ha it's cool. Hopefully somebody will know though!
have you written to apple to make sure it's ok to plug in an android phone to a mac?
are you on ICS or JB? if it's the later it could be the MTP connection that's been introduced
you have to let your mac and hox know that the lawsuit is over...

Hahahahaha, for some reason I don't know if that was ever an issue lol
I'm running 4.0.4 which from what I understand is still ICS. So it's probably good that I haven't attempted to upgrade just yet?
The main reason I even care right now is because I'm trying to jailbreak, but I'm having all sorts of issues. I figured I'd start with this one haha.
hahaah

I'll look up an SMB reset. Haven't heard of it. Still new to Android lol
However, I googled for a while and even went nuts on here looking for it, no one has this exact issue. The other similar issues only involve programs freezing. For me it seems like my keyboard and mouse freezing, while the computer keeps going. Sometimes I can't even get the two to talk to each other. And when I CAN get my HOX to connect without freezing up the keyboard and mouse, when I run the root through terminal it can't find the phone, in charging mode or in disk mode.
Your Mac is jealous

So, did an SMC reset (when I googled SMB reset, SMC came up instead). I thought it worked, but it didn't. My mouse would unfreeze, but my keyboard would still be jacked until I restarted. And if I pressed too many keys on the keyboard the mouse would freeze back up for another 30 seconds. I am too tired to think of what I could do right now haha. Throw suggestions (LOGICAL ONES!) and I'll try it out haha. I just want this dang thing to work so I can root! :silly:
This is clearly a Mac issue. Absolutely nothing to do with the hox whatsoever.
You said that you used to be able to plug the phone in without any issues, and the only reason you want to plug the phone in now is to root it (You said Jailbreak but I presume you meant root).
Why don't you try a factory reset on the HOX and see if it resolves the issue. If it does then you can root your phone and will be installing a new ROM anyway so it won't matter that you've done the factory reset. If it doesn't then it means something has changed on you MAC and I can't help you unless you install Windows
Have you tried another usb charge cable with your phone and macbook it could be the cable is damaged internally causing a short circuit and making the usb devices play up even internal like keyboard/trackpad? Just a guess as Ive experienced a broken cable disabling usb which then works fine after reboot.

factory reset of HOX won't solve an issue with computer. It seems that you USB port is screwing up or is screwed up. See if you can connect another android device the computer and repeat the issue again...if so your USB port is jacked...BTW, u are not using an external keyboard/ mouse, are u?
I'd take the computer back to the service centre and shown them the issue...
me too...seems like MTP is not going well on mac(

^^^^ Now THIS I haven't really thought of! And, actually I think it makes more sense than a software issue. I was having problems sometimes even getting the two to talk to each other unless I moved the cord a bit. I've dropped the phone from my nightstand a few times and it has landed on the cord, so I wouldn't be too surprised if either the cord is messed up or (God forbid) the port inside of the phone is messed up. Sometimes if I had the HOX in disk mode and moved the cord just a bit then it would suddenly eject and often freeze. I have another cable back home, so I'll grab it when I'm there tonight or tomorrow and see if I have the same issue!
