[Q] Dialing tone and messaging errors with froyo?

hi all!
Just talked to a close friend of mine that has a Desire branded with 3 in sweden.
She told me right now that she is going to send it in for repairs just because 2 errors that seems like they are software related more than hardware related.
First error: When she calls the dialing tone keeps on playing even when the person she calls has answered the call, also keeps on playing in the background after she has finished the call.
Second error: When she is text messaging someone specifik the message can sometimes be sent to a completely different person .
These two errors seems like it's software related , or at least i think so. The guys at the 3 store here in my swedish community tells her that there is an update she hasn't done, but when i checked it her phone is up to date with (OTA) froyo and the latest radio officially released by HTC for the european market.
If anybody has a tips or a solution for these problems i would be grateful
/Michael

Noone that has any clue? Can it help to make a factory reset of the phone or do i need to root it and flash a custom rom maybe to get rid of the problems?

Very strange problems... factory reset might help, might not. Rooting to flash radio and/or rom might to, but would void your warranty, and it's hard to explain your (her) problems are not root-related so I would advise against it.

Okay, well maybe better for her to try and do a factory reset then and if that doesn't help i should advice her to send it in for repair?

I think that's the safest way to go. No use in wasting warranty on a broken phone.

Of course it's not, the reason i thought that could be one way to test my theory of trying other roms was that i thought i could relock the phone like winmo and get the warranty back.
Thank you for the answers

You can relock. Didn't consider that. But it seems a lot of trouble for something warranty is invented for. ;-) But if you want, you could.

Vibration stopped

My vibrate stopped working on my arc. Anyone else have the same issue with theirs. Have it set to vibrate all and nothing. I haven't damaged the phone at all.

Yes I tried that.

I'd suggest repairing the firmware via SEUS or PC Companion.

hey drew, try this method to check if there is a hardware fault
-> open the dailer application
-> type the following number *#*#7378423#*#*
-> go to service tests
-> select vibrator
-> test if the vibrator is functioning
if it vibrates then it is a software malfunction else your hardware is gone, get it replaced

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Neither worked. Looks like I'm going to have to live with it. Don't feel like sending it in and waiting on the repair. Missing the haptic feedback though.

Just got off the phone with Sony Ericsson. They say my phone is not under warranty since it just came out in the US. Anyway they will charge me to send it in for repair. I just did some searching for parts for the Arc hopefully to find the vibrator. No luck. All I'm finding is bezels. Anyone know where I can get it?
Found this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Earpiece-Vibrat...596?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a115c7db4
I would assume this would be the same on LT15a.

Did this new vibrator works ?
I have same issue...

same issue
I also have the same issue with the vibrate feature not working.
I removed the part and tested the motor, and the motor still works.
So I doubt replacing the component would fix this issue.
has anyone has any luck getting vibrate to work again?

I had this problem a couple of months back.. So here is what i did which made the vibrator to work again.. I had just resetted the 'factory data settings' and after that updated my phone with the same firmware once again.. This solved my problem.. I cant assure if this will work with others or not but it did with me..

I do same. First I reset to factory. Then it appears that broke my wifi
So I use SEUS to restore the rom and all is back (wifi and vibrator).

I did a factory reset and reflashed, didn't work.
I did a factory reset then used SEUS to repair / reflash the phone and it didn't work.
I guess I'm out of luck
Thanks guy

Depends on how you unlocked the bootloader if you unlocked via setool or s1tool then no need to worry.

The problem is that i dont really remember which way i unlocked my bootloader.
Is there any way to find it out?

Well if you performed the testpoint then you could have unlocked it these ways...
1. Setool
2. s1tool
3. omnius
If you didn't then...
Official se method
Do you have working track ID etc etc
Have you accepted an ota update before and not bricked your device?

Not receiving calls

My wife and I are stock and we are having issues receiving calls. Is this a known issue with this phone?

If you are 100% stock, you may want to call tmo.
Have you done a hard reset? Does calling over wifi work?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

yeah we are 100% stock. It's hard to tell if we miss a call on or off of wifi unless they leave a voice message as some calls go straight to voicemail. I'll try a hard reset. My wife tried calling me six times and I didn't even get a missed call. Same thing when my mom called me.

Change ur simcard ull be good.. Go to a corporate store so u don't get charged
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App

Go to your local T-Mobile store and they should replace the phone or the sim card.
If the phone is the problem just hope you are under warranty, you should be.
Hoped I you out!

ye check out my signature. up i need to update beta5 now.
try flashing the stock kid radio in my previous post
what radio are you running?

It is interesting that in the last week there are at least three threads dealing with missed calls. Is there something going on in common? I have found that I was only missing certain calls from certain numbers. 100% reproducible. If I call my cell from my work phone AND the work # is stored in my contacts, then I do not get the call. It goes straight to voicemail. But if I remove the number, I get the call. Add the number back and I miss the call.

Well I havent rooted the phone yet - as if this issue continues, i dont want to void the warranty as I can try for a replacement. I am not sure once I root - can I do something to make it look clean and not void warranty!
If there is any suggestions - I will definitely try it out

I am not an expert by any means however it sounds like it tried to do some sort of OTA update and it didn't stick. If I were in your shoes I wouldn't worry about trying to fix the stock. I would go to the android developement thread and learn how to flash CWM through ODIN. I used the SSGSII tool to root and flash however I know it can be done through ODIN. Then, once you get CWM on there you should be able to flash a custom rom. Maybe even be able to flash a stock TMO rom through ODIN. Again. I am not an expert but it's just my thoughts. I hope this helps.

I would try this.

I thought I had my phone "bricked" at one point and this got me back in the game. If interested in a custom ROM, definitely check out the Jedi Mind Trick in that same development section. If you just want the stock one to work that link above should help. Good Luck.

Never tell them it wasn't purchased from the store. You should tell them it was by your cousin or some sort, and was given to you. They'll ask for some sort of proof and be like he didn't keep the receipt or anything, tell them you still have the box though, even if you don't. most reps will just brush it off because it was a gift from a relative.
Just be nice to the reps, and if you put them in a good mood they'll more than likely to help. Imagine sitting behind a table doing csr all day and listening to people complain.
Well that's just a tip when dealing with the reps, the part where they ask was it purchased from the store is their easy way of just ending their customer service with you.
Anyways you can just use odin or flash.custom roms to fix your problem

My suggestion would be to go to the android development section and start reading from the top. There's alot of threads for noobs about ODIN and rooting etc. Just gotta put in the hours and the time learning. It's worth it in the end. CWM stands for Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Sprint s6 issues, please help me!

So ive got a spint s6, bought from dubai, unlocked and rooted apparently. After a couple of days, my phone woulndt start up cuz it was FRP locked. OK so i searched for the original firmware, i flashed it and my phone booted up again. i flashed also the 5.1.1 and 6.0.1. Here s the thing, on 5.1.1 i can make calls, receive them, receive text messages but i cant send texts at all, so my guess its that its not unlocked anymore. On 6.0 doesnt even have any signal so forget about it. I just want to resolve this issue. I cant find the setting that could help me to change the message center at all, i dont have that option in my phone, i even tried to change things with some adb commands but still nothing. So after all my guess its that the phone isnt unlocked anymore and if so, how do i unlock it? i just cant give the phone back cuz i dont live in dubai, im like a day or so distance with the plane so i just wont go back there again. If anyone could help me...please do so...im on 5.1.1 now, unrooted, i can root, i just cant send texts and i dont have the messages center
oh and also i tried the galaxy tool method from idoneapps which apparently wont work at all and im concerned about paying for that thing if it doesnt work so...yeah

Happy someone finally answered. Same problem? I really dont know what the hack its going on. If the god damn phone was unlocked, why wouldnt let you send texts after the odin flash? Maybe i didnt say but the phone was opened in the back and front cuz some elements are not fixed in places. Maybe they unlocked by hardware or smth..

Factory reset the phone. Then get in touch with [email protected]. hell dire t you on how to resolve. If unlock is your problem he can help.
