Develop Bugs

Phone dial, ending call, etc.. problems.. Am I the only one?

Hi forum!
Before anything, thanks for your invaluable help and support, without it I would feel even more lonly on my PPC life
OK, said so...
I'm having currently some problems with the phone part of this great device. Sometimes when I answer a call (with the hardware key) it takes 2 to 3 seconds before I can hear anything from the person calling me. The same happens when I hang. It takes time to hang the conversation, so I never know if it's really hanged..
Lately I'm having also problems with the "today" app I think. It never shows up and the upper bar (status?) does not change when I receive a call.
I went trhu a hard resseting and restore (Sprite) process 1 week ago, but I had the phone problems before that...
Thanks a lot for your help.

by the sound of it, you have upgraded to the wm5.0 rom, i have these problems also, until there is a known fix for the minor bugs, with the today screen you can just go into settings and today, then come out again, and what wasnt there before should be there now, also , have you tried to upgrade the radio rom too??? 8)

thanks for your answer! But I'm currently using wm2003. Though I'm considering switching to wm5 now we can if I don't get a solution to this
I normally use the phone for work-job and this minor things annoys me big deal!

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.

Diamond sound issues, firmware upgrade?

Hello!
I bought a Diamond for a few weeks ago, unfortunately it's not working very well. Suddenly at random the audio disappears, often when a USB cable is connected. The two solutions i've found is to listen to an mp3 song in wmp for more than 5 seconds, then the audio will pop and scratch and then work again. That works 2 out of 3 times, and the other times i have to do a soft reset. I upgraded the rom to 1.93.413.3 SVE (that is the swedish version), radio is 1.00.25.05, SPL-1.93.0000. I contacted HTC and after explaining that i've done a firmware upgrade, they told me that it is a hardware issue. I contacted my retailer, but they've taken over a month without any response. So my question now is, have anyone had any issues like this? Should i try other firmwares? Radio? If i do, can i easily restore everything back so that i can leave it for repair without them noticing? Is it a bad idea? If i brick it, i guess i'm screwed..
I know some of these questions are answered here, but i couldnt find anything about my sound issue, except some SMS sound issues, that is not the same problem i am experiencing though.. Also, if someone calls me when i have no sound, neither me or the one i am talking to can hear anything.
Thanks in regards

sounds like a Hardware issue, do anything you can to get in contact with the Vendor, Phone calls, emails anything.

try the attached driver + sound parameters.
taken from ATT_RAPHAEL_1.94.19971 ROM
It seems this driver handle 2 new audio setting files that were not present in the diamond:
FilterFile and PreProcessFilterFile
It is a new sound driver tested on my Diamond and working fine, less glitches, better sound but doesn't change the poor hardware HP unfortunatly.

Can you provide instructions on how to use and what to insert where in the device (diamond)

Hi TekTonik,
I have tried these drivers on my Diamond but it crashes whenever a sound plays. I copied the contents of the OperatorPKG folder to \Windows then replaced the wavedev.dll. I also added the new keys into the registry (FilterFile, PreProcessFilterFile and AcousticFile).
Are you using a cooked ROM with these drivers or did you update them manually? If so, any ideas what I am missing and also which ROM/Radio are using?
Would it be possible to post your registry settings for HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev please?
The reason why I am trying these drivers is in a hope to fix the infamous sound lag which you can read about here:

Hi.
I am also having the same problem. bought a new set, but there is no sound in standby after about 10 minutes. whatever i do, the music player, screen taps, sound settings - still there's no sound.
the only solution is a soft reset - but that too, works for ten minutes, and then again the unit goes deaf n dumb.
Have tried the thread above (to remove the lag), but still, no improvement.
is there a solution to this problem? can anybody guide me? please?

I have exactly the same issue on my SonyEricsson Xperia X1. I really wonder if that's a hardware issue. What I also figured out: When you do the WM Player workaround have a look at the reception indicator. When the sound comes back my reception is lost for a short time. It seems to me the phone module performs a reset.

No Sound on Diamond
I have the exact same problem, and also in my case it only comes back after playing a music file for more than 5 seconds. Has anyone found a solution yet?

I also have the exact problem above on my diamond. Actually, I feel HTC is really not responsible for their product. Their diamond has been released more than 3 months, till now, still no positive feedback to this.
I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THEIR ATTITUDE. IF I CAN CHOOSE AGAIN, I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING ELSE FROM HTC.

I also got this problem
Hope someone can find out whats doing it, i doubt its a hardware issue

mee to
sadly it also happend to me, but I think it happend when the batery y less that a 50 %

I don't understand htc spirit : make a phone with an awfull HP sound !!! what did they do with theyr diamond ? playing chess ? or phoning , really a shame !

Working SRS WOW HD for TP2..?

Hi All
I have used SRS WOW for my Dopod 838Pro for years and loved it.
This is the one enhancement that is a must have for enjoying your music on some decent headphones - way better than HTC's native Audio Booster.
I have messed with the assortment of readily available cab variations (1.2.1, 1.5.1, the arm panel etc), reg hacks to fix the driver issue, resets etc. all for the last few days but cannot get it to run successfully on my TP2.
The issues are:
The 1.2.1 version will install, you can apply the flag reg hack (which works), reset, plug in your headphones and tweak away - great, it works!
The problem is that the TP2 will go into its screen-off sleep mode and just not wake up. You need to remove the battery for it to run again but the same thing happens - bugger!
I have also had the conflict issue with MS Voice Command not being able to start. BTW, Voice Command on TP2 is great!
So, i was wondering if anyone has it or (them both preferably) working successfully on their TP2?
I would really like this to be available for all users as it is really such a great addition to your phone.
Any input greatly appreciated (really want this)....
Cheers to all
Jabberoo

I do apologise if this is bad, but i am gonna bump this to keep it going.
I feel that an answer/solution by someone here with great skills would benefit so many of us as this is a very good little addition to the TP2.
Anyone...?
Cheers
Jabbero

Hi All
Still really interested in getting this sorted.
I have tried virtually all available WOW types listed on this site (and elsewhere) with no luck.
I tried one called called "dsixda SRS WOW English.cab" (repacked from a Chineses ROM), this actually ran for a whole day and was really promising, but then my device eventually stayed in sleep mode (like all the others) - sigh. It too caused a conflict with MS Voice Command.
So back to square one - Buger, bugger, [email protected]
Really want these 2 to work as they are a most valuable addition to a good device.
Can anyone put their genius to sorting these out for us all...?
Cheers
Jabberoo

iirc wow hd conflicts with htc audio booster. Will work flawlessly, but you will need to turn off touch flo..........
i did this on my diamond and used SPB shell instead............... Only solution i know of, sorry.

Thx Charms
I see. I was hoping there would be a way to get this happening, by way of someone's insightful genius, as it is a very worthwhile inclusion for our devices.
It's funny that, for me at least, having good sound through headphones is a key element of having this device and it is the one thing that seems underserved in general. HTC's equalizer really pales in comparison to this little cab. Equalisation of sound just doesn't do the same thing...
Maybe that is a cue for a project, disect the SRS app and make one that doesn't share its downsides...??
Cheers to all
Jabberoo

Anything new here?
I´m also still looking for a solution....

Sadly no, it is staggering with the levels of ingenuity on this Forum that this issue has everyone stumped............??
It is the one add-on that makes such an enormous difference when listening to music thru headphones on virtually any device. I think now SRS even make something specifically for iPhone (bloody iphoners!)
Cheers
Jabberoo

Still no good news?
It´s a shame....:-(

It so happened that I installed the SRS WOW HD version 1.5.1.0 yesterday and it's been working like a charm - even the sms notification sounded better than before!

installed SRS WOW and it worked but it caused A LOT of problems
one, i played using the Sense player and i couldnt lower the volume although the meter was showing it was on silent the music was still blairing on my headphones
i unplugged it and plugged it back in and it works, another problem occurs, most of my music wont play anymore :/
gave up on it and i just fiddled with audio booster and got the best setting out of it.....

Which version did you install? I had a problem with SOD from an old version some time ago and had to uninstall it - just seen a new version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584626
Haven't tried it yet, but some posts on that thread state works with TP2.

I just tried installing version 2.1 that was posted on the first post of that thread on my unbranded TP2, with Sense 2.1 and Winmo 6.5. Unfortunately, I got a standby of death within 2 hours of installing it. Hope this SOD thing gets resolved eventually.

Yes, installed it myself today and had SOD before I even had chance to use it! I installed it and soft reset as instructed but then was at work and when checked my phone for email... SOD! Thought it was maybe because I had it charging off a PC without Activesync installed, reset and after checking it had rebooted, I went to lunch and it had SOD'd again on my return. Rebooted, uninstalled SRS WOW and soft reset and no SOD all afternoon.
Running latest stock 6.5 WWE ROM with Sense 2.5.

yeah, i hope the wake up gets fix...i would like to use this app....

Wow..thats all I can say. Wow because it actually produced great results and wow because it caused my phone to sleep every time the backlight went out. Uninstalled and no problem since. I was ready to take my phone back.

Seems even not necessary to uninstall, SOD went away by just un-clicking enable SRS tic box, I couldn't figure out how to un-install WOW HD anyway

Got the SOD myself using it. Took it off & everything was fine, but I task 29'd & reflashed my ROM. Wasn't taking no chances.....

Hi,
I'm struggling with the Sleep Of Death issue as well (WM 6.5.5 and SRS WOW HD 2.1). I've even found a fix for Omnia which involved a registry edit that - I'm guessing here - told the device not to hold devices "wav1" and "wav8" when going to sleep mode, but, apparently, what works for Omnia, doesn't help at all for Touch Pro 2.
Anyone who will make SRS WOW HD working on my TP without the SOD will be my hero. Any help?

i want to say this app allows me to listen to the radio while in the shower its that loud!!
when i get out the shower i cant turn my phone back on aggghhh!!!
please a fix???????

[Q] HTC One X - Mic Problem whilst in Speaker mode in a call

Hi,
I just received my HTC One X today as an upgrade from T-Mobile. I've been waiting to get my hands on this for ages like most of you so you would most likely know how I feel when its not how you expected i.e things going wrong/not working etc.
THE PROBLEM:
The problem seems to be that when I am on a call using the speaker mode, the mic does not seem to work, therefore the person on the other side cannot hear me. I tested it again myself and it seems as if the mic mutes itself when you press the speaker mode in a call. You are still able to hear the other person yet they cannot hear you.
However when I am not in speaker mode, everything works as normal so I am wondering is this a software fault or hardware fault.
Please get back to me as soon as, as I really do not want to return the phone and go through the dreaded process.
Thank you for reading.
P.S
My HTC One X:
Software Version: 1.26.110.5
HTC SDK: 4.11
(As i am on Tmobile, My HOX is branded therefore has not received latest update)

I have the exact same problem, I bought the phone about a month ago, and I didn't check the speaker mode function, then I flash few different custom rom, Now I found the speaker mode problem as tkr1992 has, since I unlock the bootloader (although I relock the bootloader) but HTC won't repair the phone free of charge for me, they say the phone need a new mainbroad... will cost me 2XX USD,
I don't even know is the phone has this problem when I first bought it or after I flash some custom rom.
HtC told me it should be software problem cos it is the same mic that use in speaker mode or non speaker mode, so when other side can hear you when you not on speaker mode, mean the mic is alright, BUT they told me it need to replace the mainboard cos I have unlock the bootloader so they can't not recover the phone to stock rom, BUT again I already relock the bootloader and RUU the stock rom back to the phone, still the same problem.
I need help too, Any good fellow can help??????????

I hope it is just a software fault. I did just receive an update today from T-Mobile, as my HOX is branded. The update is 1.28.110.7. It still seems that my mic problem is present.
Does anyone also know what fixes are included in this update?
Thanks

Any ideas anyone? Would really like to fix this instead of sending phone back to tmobile.
Thanks

this is what got from HTC
Regarding to your inquiry about HTC One X, we would like to provide you with following advice and solution as below: First you can diagnosis the hardware issue on the speaker. Please kindly type *#*#3424#*#* on the dial screen, you will enable the function test program. And then select "Audio Test", tap Run. Please finish the test as instructions.
But it didn't work for me the phone just didn't do anything, you can try.

Thanks for that, i just tried the audio test diagnosis. The test shows that everything is working correctly however the same problem still occurs within a call like before.

Try reset to factory setting, see if it does any different.
That is the HTC guy try to do to my one x.
btw have you rooted your phone or unlocked the downloader?

You have working Navigation application in background and this make call routing first to speaker part permanently, not to earphone - like phone is in Handsfree mode. Try to disable it / shut down it / and all be fine.

I'm experiencing this exact issue as well - has anyone come up with any possible solutions?

There are 2 microphones on this phone, the upper one next to the headset jack and the other next to the lower right corner of the screen.
While on phone mode the lower one is the main microphone because its closer to your mouth, on speaker mode the upper one becomes the main mic.
It's probably a hardware fault since you flashed stock rom and it's still not working.

I seem to have this issue too - did anyone get a solution
Audio tests fine, but in Google Talk, or Google Hangout, or Phone Dialer in speaker mode - the mic input is not working, so recipient cannot hear.

Google Maps Issue
So my wife has the same phone (HTC One X) and has the most recent update to 4.0.4 (stock everything) and found out that it is indeed either the google 'navigation' app, or the google 'maps' app running in the background that will give this problem. Simply go to settings, then apps, then stop the maps or navigation process, make sure you go to the cached processes as well and stop those. Right after that her phone started working again. I also tested with the HTC test tool code that was given earlier and just like everyone else the test passed fine. So this should be the fix.

i have the same issue..
.. since updating my HOX to 3.18.401.1 and can confirm that disabling the google maps service solves the issue (at least for now)...
Anyway i have to admit that thos workaround doesn´t make me happy at all, a phone without google maps is a pain in the ......
Update: Nope .... it worked for the first 2 calls, now silence again.....Did already 3 factory resets....no idea anymore, i think i gonna sned it in to HTC...

Hello,
I have the same problem and many users "HOX" have the same worries. It seems that when you change the screen touch there is a lot of trouble of this kind.
Does anyone find a solution?

Any update on this? Did you send it to HTC? Mine has also stopped suddenly a few days back while on viper 3.7.2. Tried factory reset, flashed the rom again, flashed other roms, but the problem is still there...

in may case it was a defective mainboard....
I had to send in my HOX 3 times to HTC repair until they (and me) figured out it was a Mainboard problem.
The first 2 repair attempts where quite strange, because they changed some parts which have absolutely nothing to do with the MIC and when i received it the problem was still here, but anyway
I came to the final diagnosis, because after turning the HOX on, it was working for some calls, then the MIC suddenly stopped...Getting more and more angry because of sending the phone in and receiving it 3 weeks later unrepaired, i once squeezed my HOX really hard during a "silent" phonecall and while squeezing it (on both lower edges) the MIC worked again.
After that experience all was clear, because this behaviour is typical for a hairline crack on the PCB. I wrote this on the RMA form and they exchanged the Mainboard....
So, finally i have my HOX again for 4 weeks now (after almost 2 1/2 months without it) and it works flawlessly....
So, good luck guys and a lot of patience
