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 Everyone!
So i got the OTA 2.3.4 upgrade for my TMobile G2 a couple of weeks ago and my keyboard backlight stopped working, I have seen many threads about this all over the internet (and very few actually here) but no one knows a solution to the issue yet. I was hoping someone can guide me here how to fix this. I know ultimate way to fix is to downgrade to Froyo.
I also have all the other issues that came with this "HTC screwed with" version of Android like constantly forceclosing with the dumb Tell HTC button, navigation icon disappearing when GPS chip is off, typing E sends me to short cuts, etc. The only real problem is the keyboard backlight because it has made the phone useless to me.
Thanks!
USA TMobile G2
Never Rooted.
OTA Upgrade to Android 2.3.4 with stupid Tell HTC app the only HTC footprint in the phone which is continuously freezinfg and forceclosing my apps.
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g96de068
Build Number 2.15.531.3 CL82286
Baseband 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3
Without knowing too much about this particular issue (haven't heard of it personally) I'd say to do a factory reset, and/or dive into your auto backlight settings. The keyboard lights are tied to ambient light sensor.
Are you opposed to rooting? Sounds like you're having a lot of problems with your stock setup...

Actually the light sensor doesn't work either, I put the phone to my ear and my cheek starts dialing becuz the screen doesn't turn off, aft a minute it does automatically though. Then I pull the phone away from my face to hang up or dial an extenstion and the screen is off, I have to push the power button and slide to unlock.
I had rooted my old G1 and I had so many issues and speed problems that I figured I don't do that to this phone, it worked almost perfect with Froyo with a few issues but this one without keyboard backlit is 100% useless.
There is no setting in my setup for keyboard backlight or light sensor.
Well it definitely isn't a keyboard issue then, its a light sensor issue.
I'm not aware of any way to calibrate a light sensor etc. but maybe someone can add their input on that.
I know that if you are willing and able to root, you can flash a pre-rooted stock ROM or custom ROM and you won't have this problem.
I just found out when I change the screen brightness the keyboard light turns on, after I finish typing shut the keyboard and open again it doesn't turn on anymore. I can go back to home page tap the screen brightness on the widget and turn the keyboard light back on again.
Sorry to Bump! But please help! I tried rooting my phone but its just too many steps. I installed Android SDK which is hundreds of megabytes and was stuck there. Too difficult to use (I rooted my G1 many many times and installed various ROMs including CM7 so I am very familiar with rooting). I tried rebooting and erasing the phone to factory setting and still the same issue.
Hello,
I've had my T-mobile SGH-T989 since March 2012. As it came with the standard Samsung Touchwiz loaded Android, I decided to flash a custom rom: Paranoid Android 4.4 RC2 (Android version 4.4.3), sometime back.
Ever since I have installed this new ROM everything except two things run very nicely.
1. I can use my camera, but only without any flash. The moment, I turn on the flash or put it on auto mode, the phone simply restarts. After restart, I can open the camera app, but the moment I try to take a picture with the flash on, it restarts. If I turn off the flash, the camera works without any problems.
2. Every time I am on a call, with me holding the phone to my ear (so that the proximity sensor detects that and turns off the screen to prevent accidental button press), after about 2 mins, somehow Google now gets triggered off and starts doing something on the screen (e..g opening browser, showing search history ,etc..) all the while I am talking on the phone. Off lately, approx since a week now, in addition to Google Now doing funky things, my phone now automatically goes to loudspeaker mode (even while I am holding the phone to my ear), and puts the phone on mute (although mute icon is not activated), but the other person can't hear anything.
It's just frustrating that I cannot talk without worrying about Google now triggering something off, or the phone going on loudspeaker and muting me off.
Can you guys please help resolve these issues? It's really annoying that a clean ROM like Paranoid Android is plagued with these problems, and I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere online.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Chintan.
Please help!
Hello Gurus,
I would really appreciate if someone can help me find out what the problem is with this phone.
I believe I have narrowed it down to the phone as the feature works after I reboot the phone. I noticed this when I got in the car and only the Media Audio led was lit on the receiver. When I go to the bluetooth menu on the phone and select the paired device (car receiver), Phone Audio is unchecked and I cannot re-check it. I have tried deleting the phone from teh car receiver and also the device from the phone and repairing and setting it up. It will connect and cannot select 'Phone Audio'. I also noted that after a reboot, bluetooth feature is turned off and needs to be turned back on. Once I turn it back on and click the gear on the BT device, I can turn on and off the Phone Audio and it will work for a while.
This is an 'all of a sudden' development as I have been running the same firmware and ROM for 9+ months. I am S-off and am running firmware 3.35.401.12 with the ViperOne 4.3 ROM. I have upgraded programs from the play store, but cannot figure out what might be causing this. Can anyone here help me fond a solution?
Thanks!
Keith
So just to clarify, you're using BOTH phone and media Bluetooth connections to the one single bluetooth media AND voice enabled head unit in the car?. One receiver?.
Do you have any apps running that will disable things when battery power gets low, like snapdragon battery guru?. Does your rom have any such features built in?.
Make sure both devices bluetooth lists are clear of old devices that no longer have access on resonable terms. Just to make sure its not scanning for another device as a primary.
Make sure you car audio system is running the latest firmware. It can usually be updated via cd/dvd/sdcard.
As mad as it seems, make sure the time is correctly set on both devices.

Yep, yep and yep.
Battery is full , I do not have battery guru installed. I did not change anything. It just now needs to be rebooted before it will connect to BT Phone Audio. Medial Audio connects and works properly, just as it always has.
I have a single Pioneer Premier head unit that I have used for years with multiple phones. If I reboot the phone before it tries to connect, it will connect and Phone Audio works. When it is 'locked out' (my term), I cannot select the block on the that is labeled 'Phone Audio' to check it. As the screenshot shows, it is 'unchecked' and no amount of touching it will check it. The only way to 'check' it is to reboot the phone. Oddly, it reboots with bluetooth turned off and when I turn it on, usually, it is already enabled (Phone Audio).
Thanks for the help,
Keith
After a little research it would appear that, apart from being right about the max enroled devices allowed is 3, "discoverable mode" is required.
Did you connect the phone to the radio or the radio to the phone?. Which discovered which for pairing?. Try pairing the other way from the way you did.
Can you access any options by holding or tapping on any of the fields in the picture above. Something to do with pbap if you can find it and turn it off, most likely under contact sharing. If not, dont worry.
Try turning contact sharing off or see if the stereo will copy them and store them so you can turn that feature off.
Other than that it could just be an incompatibility between the devices. It is not unknown for car audios to be crap hardware.

I am on teh same page of keithspg
I recently resetted my HTC M9 and as coinsequence I have been obligated to reinstall all BT devices (car, 2 headest, laptop)
It worked well (as in the past) for few days but now I have the same issue : I cannot switch on the audio phone !!!
Below the picture:
I could not find any other solution than to wipe the ROM and reinstall. I am now running viper 6.0. no problems. If you are not soff, you may want to ruu it. If you are soff you may want to wipe and install again whichever ROM you are running.

I am also having the exact same issue. I still have not been able to track down which app is the one causing this conflict. I have also done a factory restore and that seems to have worked for a time but the issue started again. It may be unrelated but... Have you changed the themes? I think that's one of the last things I did before it stopped working. Also restarting the phone "fixes" the issue for one connect/disconnect, but after the bluetooth is disconnected it will no longer allow to use phone audio. I have gone into the settings for the "Paired Bluetoth devices" and I am unable to check "Phone audio". It is not grayed out but it doesn't work either. This issue is driving me crazy, I hate to have to restart the phone every time I get in and out of the car just because the bluetooth wont sync. That being said, I have another clue into the issue. Today I was using the bluetooth in the car while on a phone call and transitioned to my Jawbone Icon when I exited the car flawlessly. I turned off the car, turned on Jawbone (so there wouldn't be a conflict of the Jawbone trying to connect to the phone while it was still connected to the car) Immediately the Jawbone connected and I was able to carry on with the conversation. I was really happy about this. However, when I was done with my phone call I turned off the Bluetooth and turned off the Jawbone. About an hour later I received a video through Whatsapp and when I played it there was no volume. When I pressed the volume button on the phone the volume bar had the Bluetooth symbol!!! The Bluetooth had been off for quite a while now and there where no Bluetoth devices present.
Hopefully this gives some insight into this issue that will help resolve it. Thank you very much!
I have also tried the soft reset and the issue persists.

I have recently had this problem on my stock ROM HTC 10. The HTC Australia website online chat actually gave me a solution which worked (!)
Settings > Apps > ... (menu) > Show system > Bluetooth Share > Storage > Clear Data
New findings on my phone.
I have an M9, rooted, unlocked and s-off. It has a stock ROM. I have had this issue for a while now. I don't know when or how it started. Everything used to apparently work fine. Could have been some update or an app I added at some point in time that possibly we all share. I had been restarting the phone as well to get the "phone audio" to work. That became excruciatingly tedious. I did find that, on my phone at least, placing the phone in airplane mode, waiting a moment for that to kick in, then starting up the Bluetooth, brought it up with "phone audio" checked. Then I would just turn airplane mode off.
Still a ridiculous way of getting it to work correctly. However, if this technique works for others as well, then I am thinking that airplane mode is disabling a service or something that is keeping it from connecting correctly. I will be looking into this as I hope some more savvy folks will be as well. If someone does figure it out, please share.

I found another thing that might be causing the issue by reading other forums. I made the adjustment on my phone this morning and I believe it to be working at this time. (For now anyway). I think it might be related to location services accuracy settings. There are a couple of ways to get there. In Bluetooth settings when the Bluetooth is off, you might see a link to it on the initial Bluetooth page. Otherwise, I found them under, Settings/Location. I have my mode set to "Battery Saving". But under the triple dot should be Scanning. Here I turned off Bluetooth scanning and things seem to be doing okay thus far. Just seems like it takes a few seconds longer to connect to my devices. However, so far, no issues. I may be speaking too soon. If I find it didn't work, I will correct myself in another post.

Same problem. Either after using my Fiat Car bluetooth system, or after my BLT bluetooth headset, my Phone audio stops and I have to restart my phone.
On my bluteooth headset I only use the "media" audio.
I am using a Samung galaxy 3 watch also.

Thank you!

Late post, but just ran into the same problem with my One M8 with final Viper ROM and my newly installed Pioneer BT head unit. Turning off BT scanning on the M8 worked for me as well.
Bluetooth audio and or media check boxes can't be checked
I was able to resolve the issue on my HTC One M9 by turning WiFi scanning and Bluetooth scanning off, updating the Bluetooth checkboxes for audio and media (both of which were unchecked and wouldn't allow me to check them), and turning the scanning back on.
Hey all,
I have an annoying issue since the Pie update and wondering if anyone else has the same problem and knows a fix. So, since the Pie update I have noticed that whenever listening to audio (doesn't matter what app) using a 3.5mm set of headphones or AUX in my car that when I do any task on the phone such as unlock the screen, lock the screen, press the home button, open the app drawer, close the app drawer, slide the notifications pane down, basically anything I get a very quick stutter in the audio. It is very annoying and I cannot figure out why it's doing it. Is anyone else experiencing this since the Pie update? It never did it prior to Pie. Thanks guys.

I noticed that but it was caused by my bluetooth trying to connect to the radio.. In my AMG GT R I keep getting the stuttering too but it seems to stop when I turn the bluetooth off. The radio actually wasn't even connected to the bluetooth at the moment which I thought was weird and kind of confused me but then I realized that I had my obd scanner plugged in because I was doing some pulls and checking out some of the sensors, fuel trims and the boost so I don't know if it was from that being connected or what but it still caused the music to stutter. I'm planning on going back to Oreo anyway all this sh!t isn't worth this trouble just for Pie..

No issues with using the audio jack on my phone. Though I did do a factory reset after I got pie, that helped a lot of minor issues.

What else don't you like about it? The only thing for me is that I have to manually set my Notifications to My Phone instead of my bluetooth every time I connect it. That one is just stupid. Most people don't go through the day with their BT Ear Buds stuck in their ears all the time

Well the one thing I used my phone for the most was music during workouts and jogs and I used to only have to turn the music only half way up but it's like a whisper at half way up now and the further I turn it up the worse the sound gets and then like one or 2 steps before maximum volume it just cuts out completely no sound and the bluetooth sounds like crap in the car now it's actually better if I just put the music in the cars radio storage instead. The phones battery also doesn't seem to make it the entire day anymore and it did before the update. I also have to keep going into settings and changing the default USB connection setting otherwise it doesn't like connecting to the computer anymore unless I switch it from MTP to charging and back again. I suppose a factory reset would fix most of the issues maybe but I have no interest in doing that and having to re-set everything back up. Oh and the notification problem you have I have also and yeah that one's unbelievably stupid!!

You might want to try that Reset, because my volume is really good and even going past the volume warning, it stays clear. I don't have bluetooth in my Truck so I Can't test that one, but I will agree battery is worse. I whole day without charging at work - I use my phone for work, btw, and I'm down to about 35%. On Oreo I'd be closer to 50%. And the computer connect, I don't have to change MTP, but I DO have to toggle Debugging on and off most times

You know what else I noticed since you said something about the volume warning? I don't get that warning anymore either. Not even after a reboot because I have the phone set up to reboot itself 4 times a week at 4am in the morning. Is that volume warning still even on the phones anymore?
I still get the volume warning on Bluetooth at least.

I still get it after a reboot or connecting to a different device, like from my BT to my surround system.
Maybe you should try to flash it again?? Clear and backup everything, do a factory reeset, then flash it
