(Problem) Conversational partner hears himself double. - Defy General

Hi,
This is the second time I replaced the frontcover of my Defy. They weren't original ones but the Earpiece still is.
Now i have the problem when I'm phoning with someone the person hears himself double, even if i turn down the Volume. When i switch to the loudspeaker the problem is gone.
I already tested with another ROM and another phone but the problem doesn't appear.
I can post some pictures of the inside of the phone so you guys can take a look if there is something wrong with it.
I hope somebody can help me, because this is pretty anoying. (Not for me but for the other person he he )

Have you tested with your phone and different rom in case it's a software problem?
Does it do this when other people call you? If not, then it's your friend who has a network/phone issue.

Yes i tested it with another ROM and it's on every phonecall.
But i maybe found the problem in a german forum.
There is a little membrane missing underneeth the sound channel of the frontcoer which probably is causing this problems.

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 !

[Q] Cyanogenmod and sound problems

Hi and first off, sorry for my bad english .
So i have search almost everywhere for a solution for my problem but no luck so far.
I have been using cyanogen mod for about 2 months without problems (the stable version) but since one week i keept getting delayed sound within calls. I googled the problem and found out that its common, but my problem got worse.
And now i cant even call/recive the normal way, (you have the phone to your ear).
Instead if i want to hear anything from my phone i need to use speaker phones and that kind of blows imo.
I havent dropt the phone so its not damage, and the one i talk to can hear me, but from time and time they also says the line breaks up a bit.
I googled the problem but only found problems with people beeing abel to hear the person there calling but the one reciving the call cant hear the caller.
My problem is opposit of that and thats whats driving me crazy.
The solutions i have tried are:
Reflash phone with cyanogenmod stable 7.0.3 and then 7.1. RC1 after viping the phone and clearing cach. I tried to fix permision with bootloader.
I also tried diffrent mods but i could not get them in to my phone for some reason. Only got boot-loops at the HTC welcome screen.
So anyone els got an idea what i should do?
Go back to stock maybe?

[Q] Touchscreen stops working

Hi,
sometimes the touchscreen of my defy stops working (but the phone is not frozen)
and the only way to fix it is to lock/unlock the screen...
does anyone have the same problem (and can help me)?
thanks
P.S
i've had the problem both with stock rom (2.2) and with cyanogenmod rc 1.5
When this happens, do the 4 buttons below your display still give you haptic feedback (little vibration) or do they react not at all?
Also, does this only happen when there's the normal launcher/standby screen active or when there's an other app active too ?
Did you undervolt ?
Edit: Also, this seems to be a hardware problem which seems to be well known in a certain German android forum but I cannot find much about it in here. In short, the digitizer unit seems to be broken for some people and locking/unlocking helps because it disconnects and connects power for the digitizer. The people there fixed the problem by replacing the digitizer (which isn't easy at all!).
It would be nice to have someone from XDA who had this problem before too, to confirm this problem!
First of all, thank you for the answer
When I have the problem, 4 buttons stop working too.
It usually happens after a period of stand-by, i don't undervolt or have some other application running than the launcher (ADWlauncher).
I bought the phone one week ago, if it is an HW problem, i can't repair it by myself...
I'd recommend to wait and see whether xda has other suggestions for you and if not, just check the Motorola hotline and ask whether they know something and if they do change it for free.
Also, what you describe fits perfectly to what I've read elsewhere (don't know whether I'm allowed to post a link here or if it were useful at all because it is in German). So it sounds like your digitizer could really be defect.
ok, even if i hope to solve the problem by myself...
News: They've changed the touch screen, but the problem is still present...
Can it be a sw problem??
Keep sending it back, they will replace it in the end.

[Q] Microphone Issue

Hello xda members! I have been experiencing a strange problem with my "T-Mobile G2"'s microphone and would like to share it with you in case you had any insight on it:
My phone's microphone is not working - I cannot use voice input, music recognition services, etc. all it picks up is silence. What makes it a "strange" problem? Well, the microphone will work during calls, but ONLY IF I first snap out the keyboard and then snap it back in! Sometimes the microphone will fade out and then go silent again, at which point I'll open/close the keyboard again so that the other party can hear me again.
I thought it was software at first, but then I flashed it to stock and still had the same issue. Now I'm worried it might be a problem with the ribbon cable that connects the two halves. Have any of you ever heard of a similar problem? Any suggestions as to how I might fix it?
If it is intermittent and you reflashed then my guess would be hardware like you suggested.
Most likely you mic is loose. Does it behave the same as opening and closing if you just hit it or shake it?
Sent from my ghdudsjihfr using dhhcdfhuf.
Thanks for the replies, I honestly didn't expect any! Interesting thing.. I flashed MIUI yesterday and now it feels like the problem is fixed. I've noticed a slight lag before the mic responds the first few times but now it's spot on. I don't see why flashing to stock didn't fix it while flashing to MIUI did so I think it's just a coincidence and that this is still a hardware issue.
I'll try and poke around explore this more when I get more time.

Yup I did use superwipe.
Incidentally, the issue returned after 2 days of working perfectly. Doing a wipe and then installing that same ROM fresh (not a backup) did not fix it so that new most likely ROM had nothing to do with it. I'm giving up then and calling this a hardware issue, period. I guess it's a good thing that the HTC One phones are are coming out soon!

Speaker problems

Hi, since two days, the external speaker, the one with which you listen to the music, he started to not work. I feel terrible sound, cracking and buzzing, like when an earphone is wet from the water ... I cannot solve this problem (not a software issue to me, although I hope I am wrong). What should I do? Changing the speaker? If yes, how?
Take to service. What rom are you using? If MIUI4 then this is normal, otherwise service only.

I'm using Sandvold's ICS for Desire Beta 0.15.0.1 with evervolv turba kernel.
So, I must fix this acting on hardware? Just to do one test, now i'll try to switch ROM, maybe a Gingerbread one.

Yep. I changed ROM, changed sound settings.. whatever I did it still don't work. I opened my phone, i gave two knock on the speaker.... and now it doesn't work at all .
Searching on the web, i found this: http://www.htcrepairparts.com/speaker-bigback-for-htc-desire-g7-p-3229.html and next week i'm going to try to replace with a new speaker by my own. I think is the only way ^^ (cannot take it to the service, warranty over).
Thanks for the replies! I'll post there the results!!

The piece has just arrived at the post office. Tomorrow I'm going to retire, then I will see if I can replace it by myself, otherwise I will contact some friends

bad news
I've just replaced the speaker with the new one, but... nothing has changed.... the sound is exactly the same as before :|
I'm investigating further on the device right now, hoping to find something wrong around the speaker placement...
bad end
Nothing to do.... i check around the speaker, cleaned some parts.... but the sound remains the same. I'm going to download some app that can set maximum speaker output at about 80% (it seems that at this level the sound is pretty good).
Close.
