I have tried searching everywhere but i cannot find anyone with a similar problem.
I have an o2 XDA 2s which so far has been the best phone PDA i have used.
However, I have one small problem sometimes which happens about once in every ten calls i answer or dial, I cant hear anything the person on the other end is saying and they cant hear me too, althought the phone shows im connected and the call duration works as well. However, I am able to make/recieve calls as normal if i do a soft reset which takes about 2 mins, rather irritating. Has anyone had a similar experience? Its just so fustrating when the phone is such a superb phone that this rather small problem happens.
Please can someone advise me on what the best thing to do is, I have tried a hard reset but this has not solved anythinga and the problem remains.
Should i try upgrade using the upgrades provided for the XDA 2S on the o2 site? i understand this flashes the ROM or something. Is this easy to do and is there a chance of doing worse damage when flashing? also my XDA which is an O2 phone is unlocked onto all networks, i.e. orange, tmobile, vodafone, does this mean if i flash the rom that i will lose the unlocked networks and be stuck on O2? I would be very grateful if someone could advise a newby as to how i could rectify this problem on what otherwise is a superb phone.
Thanks

Same problem
Hi guys...I am quite new to the whole XDA thing...got a second hand XDA mini S, did a hard reset to start fresh. Trying to use it with Vodafone sim card though. Sim card seems ok, I can send and receive txt messages, but unable to make and receive calls, same problem...starts dialing and then shows 0.00 call ended, no signals, no beeps, nothing...tried with a headset, same stuff....I rang Vodafone to see if they can help with the call settings but they werent very helpful, as the phone is not one of theirs, they just said speak to O2, well I cant really as it is a second hand handset.
I was advice form Vodafone that perhaps the phone is locked to O2 and thats why it can't make any calls, but i can send and receive txt messages and the sim card is read as normal....i am quite confused. I have not tried to do any unlocking on the phone as the sim card seemed to work fine...Can anyone help....Can this be a result from the hard reset I've done..I read somewhere that other people were unable to make calls after hard reset.......
They maybe IMEI blocked, e.g. insurance claimed phone, stolen phone, etc. I think you can call them and see if the IMEI has been blocked. Search the forum, IMEI blocked issue have been discussed here.

Sorry for the stupid question but can you send me a link or directions how can I find a solutions to this IMEI blocked issue. Is there a software to unblock or change? Have not rang O2 to check, but I have the feeling that they will reffer me to the ebay seller.....as I am not a O2 customer, thats what they kind of said to me before.
You don't call O2.. just call your network service (Orange, T-Mobile, etc) providers, they may able to help you to check. Or just google for "IMEI block blacklist" for information.

If he can send and received text then its not IMEI barred, once a phone is IMEI bared you'll be unable to register with the network at all, and would look like the phone is SIM locked or just not getting signal.
It could be either, a bar on the network, low signal, or something weird with the SIM. Check the sim in another phone, if you can make calls its a hardware issue, if not then its a network issue
Thanks for the advice, sim card is working fine with other handsets, it's just a normal contract Voda sim card. Still can't get it to work with the XDA though. Did second hard reset and same stuff....can send/receive messages but canNOT make/receive calls. Does any one know if this may be result of the hard reset and is there any way of fixing it. If it is a hardware problem as suggested previously what is the way of sorting it out?
Me again...just tried it with O2 sim card....very strange...kept searching for the network for more than 10 min and nothing happened....had to turn it off at the end. 3 card don't work as well, same situation...searching for network....The Vodafone sim card seems to be the only one that gets full reception straight away but then again the problem with making calls remains...I have no idea what network the device was issued on before...
still cant get it to work tried all your ideas
nooooo i really like this phone but cant use it as a phone
do you know where i can get the cid unlocking proggy tried search but lost it

Hay there,
a week a go i rooted my phone with the r5 root using the guide at theunlockr.
now it seems that i have som difficulties with calling and people calling me ( might be sms also)
Sometimes when i call someone it goes for around a sec ( cant even hear the *biiiip* sound.) and then the phone spits out a tiny *pip* just like someone is hanging up on you. I know that the person doesnt hang up. ive tested it with 2 phones.
other times it says that the number i am calling is not in use.
does anyone else have the same problems ?
How can i totally reset my phone to default ? Will there be a warranty problem if i send it in ? since software change is in the picture.
if you guys needs more info just ask

You've posted in the wrong sub forum. Go HERE and you should get the help you need. As far as i can work out if you go to the thread in there with the Generic official roms (Its one of the stickied threads) and pick the one your phone came with and use that it will put it back to as it came and unrooted, and so should be good for warranty.
One other thing. Are you sure its not a network or sim card problem problem?

he is in the right subforum, this has nothing to do with android development
Sorry for wrong section, can anyone move it for me please ?
not 100% sure its sim/phone operating network problem. But almost.
edit: i also forgot to tell you that htc sync is also failing me
I have an issue where when I make a call there is no in-call ringing but the phone that I'm dialing rings which shows that the call is connecting. I can be heard by the recipient but I can't hear them. If they dial my DHD then I can pick up and we can speak as expected.
I'm on T-Mobile UK. I've tried the sim card in a Nokia handset and it works fine. I've tried another T-Mobile UK sim card in the DHD and the problem is still there. I've also tried an Orange UK sim card and the problem is NOT there which would suggest a T-Mobile issue but I'm not sure. The handset is factory unlocked and I'm using the original ROM
I've tried a factory reset through the menu and that has not helped.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or similar experiences?
Thanks, M

Could be broken radio unit!
Ever tried to flash different radio?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I did a hard reset and entered my google details again which brought back all the apps I had got from the market place. The phone worked initially but after about one minute I was back to square one...
I did a second hard reset but did not enter my google details and therefore the apps were not there. The handset worked. I then entered my google details but this time the apps were not present on the handset. I downloaded the apps I wanted and the handset is still working.
All i can think off is an app has switched of the in-call audio. When I inserted the Orange SIM there was no internet connection so I think it must have been an app but I'm not sure as I had not installed one for sometime.
Also when I login to the android market place on my PC it still shows my old apps however this is not reflected on the DHD????
does the sound come out through a pair of headphones during a call?
Hello all, before I start, I just want to say that English is not my native language so please be nice to me . Okay here's the issue:
I have a HTC One M8 (T-mobile version), it is not rooted and using t mobile stock rom right now. For the past 2 days, I can text and call other people but they can't call/text me ( what weird is that when I call other people and they pick up the phone, all the texts that they have sent me arrive on my phone). This is my first time experiencing this issue, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you tried contacting T-Mobile? It sounds like a Network issue that's likely on their end. Only recieve text when you make a secure connection to a tower.
If you haven't talked to them about it already do so. Let them know to either refresh your connection to the tower... Basically what they do is tell you to turn off your phone and they remove your phone from the tower so when you turn it back on it's as if it's the first time on the tower. Or have them reconfirm the right IMEI of the phone is on your account.
Either way what you are describing sounds like it's their fault.
