Desire earpice dead - Desire General

Hi,
Anyone had a problem of the earpiece dying? Mine stop working on Friday. Had the phone only for two weeks. Really disappointed, I hope this is not of things to come with quality.
Thanks,
Corrie

Headset provided with the Desire really is rubbish, but still 2 weeks seem way to soon for them to break, I have my hero's headet and it's still working after a year.
Call htc (or the shop you bought it from) and ask them to send a new headset?

Got my phone back. What a long wait, they replaced it!

S620 for sale

SPV EV600 (s620) for sale. The earpiece stopped functioning last month. I bought a new one thinking the old one was defective. Replaced it, and i still cannot get sound out of the earpiece.. Not sure what's going on.. I've done a hard reset to set the software back to zero.. and the sound still doesnt come out of the earpiece... all sounds and voice comes through the rear speaker.
As a result I'm wanting to sell this. anyone interested? email me at [email protected] with questions or photo requests. Thanks

Dual SIM standby for the Samsung Galaxy S2

Hey guys,
I mentioned this on another thread but thought it deserved it's own...
So I have a dual sim adapter for sim switching on my galaxy s2 which im happy with but noticed a new product I'd not seen before called Gmate which seems to let you have 2 sims actually active on your phone at the same time.
I emailed the website to see if it was compatible with the Galaxy S2 and they confirmed it was...Obviously this got me excited so I've ordered one!
This is the item and company I've ordered it from...
http://www.magic-sim.com/product-details.php?Product=13
I only ordered it today so can't confirm if it does what it claims to do yet but as soon as it arrives I'll give it a whirl and report back. Hopefully it's going to be as good as it looks!

Thanks for info. It would be nice if you would give us a feedback as soon as it will be with you.
Right so this has been an unbelievable service...
Ordered yesterday and the MAGICSIM Gmate arrived this morning. Took all of 5 mins to install and it's an incredible device. So so impressed.
It's well built and easy to use and best of all I have 2 sim cards active on my galaxy s2 now.
I can confirm that both sims can receive and make calls, SMS and browse the web.
Couldn't recommend the product or the service highly enough.
Hope this info helps guys!

Awsome! Could you make some pictures of it? I dont think i really understand what it is...
It is a 2nd device that enables your phone to have 2 sims active at same time?
Yea that's exactly what it is. Both sims are now active.
Yea I can take some pics later. Any specific picture requests?
preferably pictures that show the size of the device
found a youtube movie, looks awsome!
for some reason, the movie isnt showing for me, so here is the link aswell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAFBler2wWI
Yea well I'm loving it. It's light and sexy
Like I said im really chuffed with it and I'd like to give a shout out of support to www.magic-sim.com for offering such a great service.
How do you charge the device and how long does it last?
You charge it off a USB cable to your computer. Well I can't say for definate how long it lasts as I've not ran it dead yet but according to the manual it lasts around the same time as my Samsung battery.
I am also keen on ordering! However, I usually use my sgs 2 with either a Bluetooth headset or my Metawatch / Bluetooth watch.
Can you try using it simultaneously with a Bluetooth headset?

Yea I did try this yesterday very quickly actually and it worked fine. I'll have a more extensive test later on tho
Any updates from your Bluetooth test?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I was driving my car yesterday using a Bluetooth headset alongside the Gmate and it worked well. Didn't find any issues or problems with it.
Hope that helps!
Thanks! That's great! Looks like I should order one too! cheers pal!

No problem... I've been on the quest for a product like this for a long time so I understand the need to make sure it's what you're after!
I've recently started to use the gmate as well; however I find that it would just suddenly disconnect from time to time. To get it reconnected I would normally have to switch off my bluetooth and than swith it back on again...
I've had mine running constantly since I got it and am yet to have any issues like that. What phone is it SGS2?
I bought a MagicSim 3g dual sim and this is my experience:
- After installation i had no problem. It worked like a charm in STK mode and in 007 mode
- With original samsung battery, there is no way to close properly the phone cover, using a battery replacement, a little bit slimmer, the cover close properly after some efforts.
- After some days (3 days) MagicSim stops working, maybe due to some battery changing. Maybe I damaged the mailard.
I will not buy it again
Cheers

Had one before I got the Gmate and only had good experiences with it so I can't share your woes. Was a useful little device for me!

Stereo video hiss issue

Hello. My One X is afflicted with the very annoying hissing sound when in stereo recording as shown here (Not my video)
watch?v=Y8GTloRDO08 (Not allowed to post videos yet!)
I have been experimenting and at least on my phone the hiss doesn't occur if my headphones are plugged in it sounds perfectly normal then.
I am not technical at all so would this mean anything to anyone?
Seriously tempted to try and get a replacement I just know I will get someone that is hard of hearing that cant hear it to test it. It is especially blatant if you put headphones on it is horrible
+1
have same problem

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=732
After reading this topic, i checked mine and i also hear a hiss with stereo ON, untick stereo no hiss all good don't bother me and i thought i had a fault free HOX lol ohh well, better a hiss then a screen problem, battery etc.
+1. Got much worse after the latest update so seems to me it is a software issue.
Skickat från min HTC One X via Tapatalk 2
Can anyone else confirm this issue and post their software versions?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Same issue here, though it is the same with and without stereo recording turned on.
Interestingly, using something like Camera ICS+ results in no hissing sound, so it's either the software that HTC ships, or the app itself uses a processing chip that the third-party apps do not.
Software version number - 129.401.11.
The handset is a UK, unbranded and carrier unlocked device.

Jawbone Up

Refuses to work with my Maxx. It works perfectly fine with my iPad so its got to be the phone...kinda pissing me off.
Anyone else?
Found this on Moto's support site...
Note: At this time, devices that have a microphone input but no microphone output (Square Card Reader, Jawbone UP) are not currently supported.

Apparently the UP isn't working on any of the new Motorola phones - the Maxx, Ultra, Mini, or the Moto X. My wife has a Moto X that won't sync. I'm not sure who to be more mad at - Jawbone or Motorola.
I'd say Moto considering it works just fine on my Razr Maxx HD that I have for work.
this sux. I hope for a fix soon. this is unacceptable on a new device in 2013.
according to my post and subsequent email from Motorola, this is a software issue that is affecting devices that have a microphone output, but no microphone input. Jawbone, Square, PayPal (black stripe reader) all currently do not work.
I'm hoping with root and custom roms, we can fix this before Motorola.
They say a fix is on the way.
Microphone output? What is that?

Usually, devices that plug into the 3.5 mm jack are headphones only, or headphones with a built in mic...
Jawbone UP has an output device but no 'input' device
I'm actually on my 4th up[ replacement. It comes tomorrow and i got my maxx yesterday. This just annoys me further. I know it is not Jawbone's fault, but i might just try and complain and go get a fibit flex or nike fuelband. The jawbone is so flawed as much as i do like it

I guess I am a lucky one, I have had my UP for a while and haven't had an issue.
The Maxx issue is beyond frustrating for me. Hoping they fix it sooner than later!
JAWBONE UP now works with latest OTA
Hey guys on top of all the goodies we get with the Camera update 12.15.15 OTA, the 3.5mm jack is now also active for accepting input via JAWBONE UP. So game on again.
Good news! I'm still waiting on this update.
Finally got around to trying this, and it took FOREVER to transfer the data.
But its better than waiting to get home to my iPad to update it.

Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Speaker Noise When Volume Muted

I'm just making this thread in the hope that this is a fixable problem, so here goes...
If I mute the tablet by lowering the volume until it is off and then play music or a youtube video, or indeed anything else that would normally result in sound through the speakers, I can hear a quiet noise that sounds a little bit like an old 56k modem trying to connect, sort of squelchy chirps and tweets.
I can recreate this every time, so I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if so, did you find a workaround or a fix? I found a thread on another forum where others were having the same problems here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-pro-8-4-random-noise-coming-out-speaker.html
It's easy to test, just go to youtube via your browser or the android app and play a video that has sound with your volume as low as it'll go.
Thanks!
My 8.4 does the same thing

Same problem that became even more persistent when I installed CM11 to my 8.4.
Kind of annoying problem, wonder if there can be a software fix for it...

I'm going to speak to Samsung later, I'll let you know what they say. Hopefully there will be a software fix.
I've spoken to Samsung, they are aware of the fault and are looking into it, but they say that it is a hardware fault and the tablets will need replacing. So back mine goes today for a replacement.

Interesting. I guess I'll try to return mine at Best Buy before my 15-day return period is up. Any clue if Best Buy checks to see if the warranty void flag has been tripped or do they generally just accept the return regardless?

I've no idea about Best Buy, sorry bud, I'm from the UK :good: The place I got mine from insist on a reference number from Samsung before they will authorise a return. Fortunately, Samsung were really helpful.
I've returned mine 3 times and had the problem with all of the tablets. Samsung said there is no reported issues

Mine is not having this, or at least I can hear it
Finally got my replacement, it seems to working ok, just a very faint hiss with my ear up against it, so all's good.
I returned mine to Best Buy, (almost) no questions asked. I'll probably wait a while before picking up a replacement. Probably won't get it again until a price drop on the device.
I have the same problem, looks like all the Tab Pro 8.4 suffer from it, it only appears when I open an app/game with sound and mute it. Will be best if we all call Samsung and make them to "report" this issue.

Open any game, mute the Media sound and listen to the speaker, if you don't hear any noise you are one of the lucky ones

My replacement 8.4 doesn't have the fault, same batch, same retailer. Seems to be luck of the draw.

I bought it from sears because I had some points to spend. Took it back and reordered one from them 3 times.
First noticed this playing minecraft. Now it's all I hear and I really love this tablet. Ugh..
Edit: Returned to Best Buy. Pains me to do it but this is a killer issue.
I had beeen waiting for this tablet, Love the tablet but had to return it due to this issue. It's very loud in a quiet room.
I checked at store, even the display unit had the noise defect.
My replacement arrives next week but in the mean time I just taped over the speaker grilles... solves the issue completely. It does muffle the sound but I still find it loud enough that I don't notice the muted effect in daily use. Gaffers tape works well - almost no residue, tears perfectly straight, and has a nice fabric feel like hockey tape.
