Hi all,
First post so please be gentle
Picked up a used Desire a while back to replace the one I lost. Everything works fine on it except Bluetooth - it can neither find nor be discovered, despite Android reporting that the handset is searching or discoverable.
Unfortunately, I'm no expert on phone hardware troubleshooting (a PC would be no problem) - I have aLogCat installed but I'm not sure what processes I should be looking out for! The problem has persisted after rooting so I assume there's no issue with permissions.
I'm guessing this is probably a hardware issue, and will have to go back for a waranty repair (I got six months warranty even though it's used), but I thought I should check with the experts first.
Edit: stock eclair ROM, btw.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
S.

hi all,
Am using a pda2k since year and half now. Initially when i bought the phone when it was just launced in dubai. It had this weird problem of people complaining low voice from my side on calls. I upgraded to v1.12 and problem had solved. Then when i saw a recent upgrade of 1.40 i did that. The problem is back worse than ever. So i downgraded it back to 1.12 and the problem still persists.
The problem two way has been solved with the unidirectional patch. But this problem persists, i even opened thephone up but evrything seems fine. Am using bluetooth headset jabra and people can hear me now. But its frustrating to use the headset all the time. Pls help am really frustrated with this problem and am unable to find any kind of solutions to this.
People just cannot hear me...i have to shout into the mike hole changing the direction of the phone...pls help....am really really frustrated..love this phone but what is the use if noone can hear u.!! Is there any solution to this?
Thanks a ton

thanks a lot...i really dont mind doing it but my only question is it is a software problem bcoz it was working fine with my old software...and other applications volume level is good enough...so how can it be a hardware deffect? Pls help...thanx.
i have this problem as well... i wish the links people link to wouldn't be always dead on this site.
hi and welcome to the forum.
unfortunately you bumped a very old thread, and the link in the 2nd post refers to an even older thread, which might have been deleted due to routine maintenance.
what exact model of the blueangel do you have?
what rom and radio rom are you currently using?
what network are you on (MHz)?
there can only be 4 reasons for this issue:
1. it is a user problem, there are settings wrong
2. it is a blockage problem, cleaning the device will resolve it
3. it is a software problem, to be solved by flashing another rom and/or radio
4. it is a hardware problem, you'd need to replace parts.
these solutions are sorted by how difficult they are, so after giving more specific information, you might want to start at the top
Hello my pda gurus.
I'm starting to worry about my Desire.
Today I noticed something I didn't see earlier - please take a look at movie on YT.
youtube.com/watch?v=68xwWTkM9J0
I got Unrevoked Root which I did week maybe two ago.
I don't remember that I installed something suspicious today or during last few days.
Is this behaviour normal? Did anyone had the same problem? Or - I hope - it's not a problem at all. As you can see - after a moment averything looks fine.
In other connection types (Internet sharing/Charging) phone works well.
Please help me.

As far as I'm aware I didn't have this issue. No it isn't normal either. Something has just gone a little wrong and is crashing the launcher. I would say flash a stock rom to even out the bugs but I don't know what your intentions are on that front of roms.
Thx for quick reply.
I restored my one week old ROM copy and everything seems to be O.K.
Uff. Big relief.
SYMPTOM: can't see any mobile networks
BACKGROUND: I've been using htc one x for a month now. Initially on three, but their signal was unusable at home, so sim-unlocked and switched a couple of weeks ago to giffgaff ( a virtual network on top of the UK o2 network).
All has been fine, until today. I sent a few texts & calls in the morning, and mobile data was working. Since then, I can't see any mobile network.
wifi is fine.
Search Networks pops up "Error while searching for networks" and finds none.
No software changes of any sort since last successful call. No changes at all today, at least until I tried to diagnose the problem.
Running stock rom, with the WW update of a couple of weeks ago (1.28.771.9.CL56522 release-keys) -- neither S-OFF nor unlocked bootloader.
Nothing obvious to me in the normal or radio logcat logs.
The only thing I did after the last successful call was to run sensorly to try and map a trip. I've used this before without any problems. It got no connection but I thought nothing of that. I've since uninstalled it just in case it could somehow be interfering with the radio.
THINGS I'VE TRIED:
No, the airplane mode isn't on, and mobile is. I've toggled airplane from settings and power switch, many times
recreated the APN
checked other phones - yes there are a number of networks visible
tried the original o2 sim - same problem
safe mode
cold boot
reboot, reboot, reboot
obviously I haven't pulled the battery...
turned off wifi, in case it was somehow interfering
HTC diagnostic tool
factory reset
confirmed imei is not blocked
Any ideas? Bearing in mind that I'm looking for something which can happen spontaneously.
Interestingly, while writing this I've just noticed that Baseband version shows as Unknown. That worries me - is it possible that my radio partition has spontaneously corrupted itself?
I did speak to 02 support - they said to take it into a shop for warranty repair. I don't want to try a custom ROM just yet -- not when I might have to use the warranty. But is there any way to force it to reinstall the stock rom (preferably not involving windows)?
I have the same problem as well and flashing custom roms did not solve it for me. But for me even the IMEI number is shown as UNKNOWN...I haven't done anything special to get this issue, one day when I woke up the phone could not connect to any network.
I have tried a lot of different methods but with no success. I don't think we can do anything about the baseband without S-OFF.
If a hard reset fails, then it's time to think about returning the unit. Either get a refund or get it replaced.
This may be irrelevant; but I've had this happen to me on my GNexus. I solved it by going back to stock and it just fixed itself overnight.....
my HTC One X did the same after about 2 weeks. Gave it back to supplier, waiting my replacement.
Even tested with a different SIM card, did a hard reset. Problem stayed the same.
Im curious did any of you find a resolution to this? it happened to me a while ago but yet to fing a solution. HTC refuse to fix under warranty because it is unlocked.. i am currently waiting for the next official update to see if that fixes anything but the way things are looking that could be a while..

It sounds like a fault, probably the radio chip has just stopped working, no software is going to repair that. If it was a software problem, there would be hundreds or thousands of people all having the same issue.

Hello,
I know that this would be better posted to one of the development forums but (new member) can't post there...
anyway, I have the captivate glide and I recently installed literom from the greater good. Anyway, I'm running into some bluetooth issues and I was wondering if anyone has had any similiar issues? The forum for that rom does not mention the issues that I'm having (at least not that I found).
Basically, my bluetooth works fine. As long as I don't reboot my phone. Any time I reboot, my pairing information is lost for any devices I had. I can scan for devices, but when I try and connect, it says invalid pin or connection refused. If I run through the pairing procedure again, it works until the next reboot.
Anyone have any ideas for me? I like this rom and don't want to re-image it with something else... my bluetooth worked fine on the last rom I had installed (but nothing else did pretty much, which is why I reimaged it)...
sorry for throwing this out in the general forum, but to be honest I'm not 100% sure that my issues are related to this ROM just mostly sure... anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hoping someone can provide some direction. First and foremost I am not a HTC savvy so although there are a few threads here about the same issue none of them relate to me as I have not rooted the phone nor flashed to custom ROMs or anything to that nature. I am simple user of the phone... Now.. to the topic.. so I bought this phone for my brother in law last year as a birthday present, and at the time I had a working phone so I didnt put my mind too much to it.. but I did liked the phone very much. Two months ago, I decided to purchase one of these, so I bougtht an HTC ONE X Phone S720e Android 32GB 8MP 3G WiFi GPS Bluetooth Unlocked White. I don´t recall what versión of Android it carried at the time but looking at the specs it should had come with Android 4.0.3. After loading it up, transfering my files on to it and loading some basic apps, whatsapp, email, Skype... it off coursed asked for a software update two times which I went ahead and did. The last one it installed added Android 4.2.2 and HTC Sense 5. It was working fine, layout changed considerably... now after doing another of the updates to applications and software, specifically the transfer files update it suddenly quit recognizing data services completely. I though it might be something with the micro sim, so I tried testing a couple of others, it didnt make a difference so I decided to back up my contacts and information I had on the phone and did a Factory reset. It wipped it clean but issue remains the sames, it is unable to even recognize the sim card is missing and when I go into settings I see the message Disconnected because service is unavailable.
Reading online, saw a few folks stating that this situation was related to software updates.. so I was wondering if I could get some help on how to get this fixed. Not sure what to do, downgrade to 4.0.3 or how could I get it resolved so appreciate some direction here.
If you go to settings - about - phone identity, does it still shows the imei ? Seen many people here having their imei gone from their phone and becomes an iPod since we can't write it back. Tho you are on stock, so better send it for repair.

It shows up as unknown actually... is this a software related issue then? Im concerned about the other phone going through the same situation... should no updates be installed to it then? That makes it fairly useless and might prefer to send it back and try to get a refund instead.
same problem for me, still wait for fix

Can someone tell where is the IMEI physically located on the phone?
