I know this topic has be address many many times and there are still no soluation to the problem.
So.. I want to make a poll to see how many user is experiencing this problem.
I hope to grather enough data to see if it is a hardware problem or Firmware problem so that i can address to O2 regarding this issue.
I love my PDA/phone.. but... this issuse really bugs me cos i used the phone for business and it always happens when a important call arrived... :evil:
Pls, Lets Vote with your honest answer...
Derek
No problems here....
What i've experienced is that sometimes the ringing sound is very quite even though the volume is at maximum. I make a soft reset and everything's back to normal.
NO SOUND
I have also experienced the same. I normally have to do a soft reset to fix the problem. Seems its a firmware issue to me.
One more issue is that we need to disable the power off system setting after 3minutes.
If not, a phone call will be automatically ended after 3 minutes talking.
i have also experienced this problem. i had a important caller call me twice and i didnt hear my phone ring. it was also next to me. luckily, i had my backup phone with me when he tried that line.
agreed that we shouldnt have to soft reset to get back the ring tone functionality. i personally think its a caller id version problem, but thats my opinion cause its easier to fix. i just hope it isnt a firmware problem since i wont hold my breathe on O2 releasing a rom upgrade in my phone version.
im going to try some reg tweaks to see if it will help, once my main pc is up and running (currently moving). i just dont want to go back to an older rom because of a ringing problem. but it IS a big problem for most of us.
ps. sorry about the spelling mistakes and punctuations. im on my pda at a coffee shop.
Yup I have see the no sould on outgoing, no sound on incoming, reset does the trick for me. Also feel that the sound is low in general (even if set to max)
Ha.. i call XDA today in their headoffice in Singapore. The CS guy told me.. they know this issue and say there will be a new (Rom) or patch release very soon.
After seeing the vote result. I believe that the issue is do to software, not hardware.
I have a firend that design such product. he told me that it could be that DSP script is not written well. He said, the Echo Cancelling must be overflow causing the unit to manufunction. and after reset, the overflow will be clear out, so the unit function again.
I hope O2 is really releasing a new patch to fix this issue. If not, i think i am force to go back to my Sony Ericsson P910i or one PDA and one phone option.
i'm glad that O2 recognises the problem and not passing it on to other people. thanks for the information rcbear. glad you took the extra steps get them looking this way.
i hope "soon" means in a waek or two.
same problem
My ringer always works but sometimes, at least every other day. When someone calls me i can not hear them, they can sort of hear me, but the earpiece is dead. A soft reset fix's this problem. Is my issue related to the current issue dicussed in this thread? Thanks

Hi Jeffro01..
Welcome to the club.. :lol:
Derek
I don't seem to have the ring volume problem, but my phone will get into a state where it rings, I answer the phone, but there is no audio. In the six or so times it's happened, I haven't really determined if the caller can hear me. A reboot fixes it.
I can't pin down any one thing I do to cause it to get into this state, but it seems like a software/firmware issue.
I have this problem too.
I had to send my BT headset for repair for two weeks and noticed it did not happen during that time while it started again since I got my BT back.
When it happens (once to twice a week) I soft reset my SPVM2000 and it then is ok.
Also the BT Orange Switzerland patch makes the problem appear less often.
Phone ring problem got me twice today...
Both times, never heard three calls, but the phone still reports them as being missed.
Gotta be a solution for this or I'll be soft resetting every time I finish a call/use.

If so I have 2 questions for everyone who has this issue:
1, Do you use a bluetooth headset or any other bluetooth device (gps...)?
2, What is your current bluetooth version and build?
I have Bluetooth build 3900, and I'm using 1.33.
No probleme here
not using BT or WiFi.
Where can I find my BT version?
I don't also have the 3 minutes switch off pb, the PDA function switch off after 3 minutes but the phone remains operational. I often switch the PDA off myself whilst on the phone to save on batteries.
...Hi everyone! (1st post!)...
I get the dead-speaker in calls too...
I took delivery of my first SPV M2000 a couple of weeks ago; it had a few problems, one of which was that the speaker would be dead occassionally when making or answering calls requiring a soft-reset to resolve. I initially thought this might be caused by the device not correctly recognising external hardware had become disconnected - handsfree/BT/car-cradle etc. - but it did seem to be at random.
Orange replaced the device last week; and by day 3 without using any handsfree/cradles etc. and BT and WiFi not even enabled (much less paired/connected); the dead-speaker problem reappeared.
I'm not going to bother chasing Orange about this issue on its own (this device doesn't exhibit any of the other problems I had with my first); as it seems to be a pretty common problem that's going to require a software update to fix. Needless to say when I read that HTC have written a fix I will be on Orange's back to make a fix for their ROMs public. (dreaming?).
Just FYI, both the initial device I was supplied and the replacement have the same software versions (in my sig).
Regards,
Rob.
I circumvented (temporally fixed) the ringtone problem by setting the default ringtone to "None", and also set the phone to vibrate. Then Re-enabled MS Voice Command to announce all incoming calls. The only problem is, the voice isn't loud enough in noisy places, but it does the job in the office or semi noisy environment. I guess this will have to do until a verified fix comes along our way.
I've seen a couple of people post on this issue but not many is facing it so i'm wondering if it's cause by a certain software? Or is this just another bug in the 2.1 and hopefully it gets fixed in 2.2
I've got the sound manager app installed to activate the vibration again once it stops. Usually it's for my SMS but over the last 2 days, even when i draw the unlock pattern, it does not vibrate anymore until i re-activate it using sound manager.
I've read that it could be the battery being weak but my batt was at some 65% so i'm guessing that is not the reason.
Anyone knows what maybe causing this vibration to stop issue? Maybe it's an application causing it....my only guess is "Handcent".
I've had this issue for the last month.
I've tried a few different things and usually it comes back, one way or another.
A few days ago I discovered something that leads me to start thinking I have a hardware fault. My vibration disappears almost daily now but the last 3/4 times it's gone I've done nothing except give the phone a light tap (light as in two fingers on the back of the unit) and the vibrate function has immediately returned.
I'm just guessing but it kinda looks to my untrained eye that it's a hardware issue on my handset - it may just be mine though.
Ha....if that is the case then you probably have a faulty hardware. No tapping is going to make mine vibrate until i launch Sound Manager to reset the vibration setting
I'm gonna contact HTC and get it sent back in the next few days for sure. I think I'd prefer it to be a hardware problem (fixable) than a non-descript software issue that may or may not be fixed at some point in the future.
Well I hope there's a permanent fix soon for you
mine always has some problem with the vibrate too...
Anyone any news? The vibration of my Desire is not stable, you clearly hear changes in the speed/power. I contacted HTC and wait for their answer.
For your information, it does always work and I am using Android 2.2.
My vibration works without sound manager on 2.2. I have even had the phone turn off due to low battery and the vibration works once the phone is back on charge
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
HTC told me to hard reset the device. I can not believe that a hardware issue is solved by software reset ?

Generally it's the first thing they think of to try, regardless of the fact it means you lose all your data.
Mine hasn't changed/failed since getting the phone in April (on its day of release)

That's what I think too. I will hard reset the device after my holiday and will take care of a backup myself. If this doesn't fix the issue I'll send it to HTC...
Bad Vibrations
I've noticed a problem recently, that I get vibration when the phone rings with an incoming call, or when I switch to vibration profile, and the handset also gives 'haptic feedback' when typing etc, but no longer vibrates when I receive text messages or emails, despite soft resetting, de- and re-selecting all the relevant options.
Running 2.1 on T-Mobile, can't tell you what software I've got on it as I stood on it and cracked/trashed the screen earlier today - phone still running, receives calls, seems to be receiving emails, but can't read anything at all on the screen.
On a side note, does anyone know how to get data off a running Desire with an unreadable screen?! I can't get it to sync with the PC Sync software because I can't get it into sync mode from the touchscreen menu
Phone is set up to backup to memory card, so I am now wondering if I can use that card in a replacement handset to restore my data to new phone?
Sorry for hijacking the thread a little! Ed
Hi all,
I have a problem with my HTC TP2. All of a sudden, the microphone stopped working... There are a couple of strange things though!
- First of all, it came out of nothing. I didn't do anything special when the problem came...
- Headset works, so I first thought it was a hardware problem, but after some hardware resets, it started working again! Unfortunatly, it didn't last for long. 5 minutes later it was stuck again :s
So it is probably a SW bug...
- If I talk really loud, you can hear something, so probably the amp doesn't work correctly... But why does it work with the headset then...
I've seen others with the same problem, but haven't found a real solution, but to send it to HTC for repair... I would rather avoid this!!
Can anyone help me please?
I have the same problem. At first it started just happening every once and a while I would get or make a call and the person on the other end couldn't hear me, now it's probably 90% of the time they can't hear me. I've even tried booting into android and it still doesn't work which leads me to believe my issue is hardware unless someone else has a better idea
If it is not working properly after a hard reset without installing any applications, then it most likely hardware related. Send it in for repairs.
one of my touch pro 2s had this problem, i just took it sprint and they gave me another one.
A few weeks ago I bought my wife an used Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML - Z00A) and I installed LineageOs on it. Since then the bottom microphone stopped working.
I make a call to other phone and only the top mic picks up the conversation, meaning that the person on the other side barely hears me, and in fact hears me better if I speak with the phone flipped up side down.
Now, I know that you're thinking that most likely its a hardware issue, and with that in mind I bought a new bottom board (which contains the charging port, mic, etc), but when I swapped it it the problem persisted. After that I assumed that the problem was in the rom itself, so I installed 3 other images with the same results... So i got on google and searched a bit, and it seems that i's a common condition on this phones.
I think the problem might be that the call manager mistakes the mic1(top) and mic2(bottom), because in the calculator tests the 1st passes but the 2nd fails.
Another option would be to try this, however I can't find this option in any of the images I've tested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocm_WX-ilE8
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thx.

Hi
I'm searching for anyone else having the same problem as me and other people that i've seen in Lenovo Forums
I'm having different problems, but the most important for me is the proximity sensor, because once I answered a phone call, it makes impossible to hang up because the display turns black and it doesn´t "wakes" until the phone call has ended. The same problem with audios in whatsapp.
Another problem is that Moto Actions like turn on the flashlight with a shake, and open the camera with a twist doesn´t work anymore. Plus, the vibrator started to fail, having an unusual behavior until it just stopped.
And the device is not recognized correctly in any computer I've tried, it just appears as "unknown device", and the device doesn't show the options that use to appear when connected to a computer, it just says "charging".
I want to think that all of them are software problems, and not hardware problems, because they all started after the june 2019 update, and, as I said, there are other people having the same problems, and I think it would be a big coincidence if all of us have the same problems with our hardware.
If any of you have had the same problems, could you tell me if you could find a way to fix it? Or, anyone has any idea how could I solve, at least the proximity sensor problem, it would be better if the device don't turn off the screen anymore during phone calls.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers in 3 different pc's, and any of them worked, but when I tried with another device (Moto z2 force) they all worked. I've done factory reset three times, and one hard reset, with no changes. Could someone help me?
Thanks for reading.
Well, sound like... simply failing phone ? RMA ?

Do you think that? I've had this phone for a year and a half, and I've never had any issue, until the last update on june 2019.
Maybe is a coincidence and my phone started to fail just after the update, but to be sure, I want to know if there's someone else having the same issue, and maybe someone could fix it.
I've had these problems a few months ago too, but back then I was thinking it was related to a hardware problem cause I had to send my phone to fix the screen (broken glass) and after that I noticed that the moto actions wasn't working properly, as the flash light from the frontal camera and the most annoying of the problems, the proximity sensor that would stop working when I got a call or audios in whatsapp. All of these was solved a couple weeks ago tho, after I had to fix my screen again (yes, 2 times in 3 months, congrats), just days before the android pie was released, so I can't say exactly what fixed it
