Two problems with One X - HTC One X

I have been using One X for a week now and have noticed two annoying things:
1. High pitch noise while video recording in stereo audio mode.
2. Phone automatically going into silent mode and returning into normal mode.
I tried searching for these issues but could not get any solution (in the second case no one seems to have this problem). Did anyone else have the clue for these??
Thanks in advance.

Are you running on Stock ROM or Custom ROM? Strangely, I don't seem to have these problems.

I have unrooted phone with stock ROM.
I found the cause for second problem. It was an app that wa causing the phone to go into silent mode.
For the first problem I have seen other people also complaining about this issue. I hope this is a software issue which could be solved soon.
Thanks a lot for your time

Car mode notification problem.

Hello all,
Is anyone or has anyone a problem with the car notification popping up? I was told from another member that it might have something to do with the latest radio? I thought it was due to my ROM or I wiped everything and tried to flash another, only to have the same problem. When in this mode the data connections play up and when I exit out of this mode the program I am in crashes and I end up looking at the today screen! Is or has anyone had this problem and is there a fix?
I try and stay stock and as I said I have tried another ROM but yet to downgrade the radio as my battery is loads better on the new one. I am starting to think the problem might be hardware,I hope however not..
Suggestions would be much appreciated.

[Q] HTC One X - Mic Problem whilst in Speaker mode in a call

Hi,
I just received my HTC One X today as an upgrade from T-Mobile. I've been waiting to get my hands on this for ages like most of you so you would most likely know how I feel when its not how you expected i.e things going wrong/not working etc.
THE PROBLEM:
The problem seems to be that when I am on a call using the speaker mode, the mic does not seem to work, therefore the person on the other side cannot hear me. I tested it again myself and it seems as if the mic mutes itself when you press the speaker mode in a call. You are still able to hear the other person yet they cannot hear you.
However when I am not in speaker mode, everything works as normal so I am wondering is this a software fault or hardware fault.
Please get back to me as soon as, as I really do not want to return the phone and go through the dreaded process.
Thank you for reading.
P.S
My HTC One X:
Software Version: 1.26.110.5
HTC SDK: 4.11
(As i am on Tmobile, My HOX is branded therefore has not received latest update)
I have the exact same problem, I bought the phone about a month ago, and I didn't check the speaker mode function, then I flash few different custom rom, Now I found the speaker mode problem as tkr1992 has, since I unlock the bootloader (although I relock the bootloader) but HTC won't repair the phone free of charge for me, they say the phone need a new mainbroad... will cost me 2XX USD,
I don't even know is the phone has this problem when I first bought it or after I flash some custom rom.
HtC told me it should be software problem cos it is the same mic that use in speaker mode or non speaker mode, so when other side can hear you when you not on speaker mode, mean the mic is alright, BUT they told me it need to replace the mainboard cos I have unlock the bootloader so they can't not recover the phone to stock rom, BUT again I already relock the bootloader and RUU the stock rom back to the phone, still the same problem.
I need help too, Any good fellow can help??????????
I hope it is just a software fault. I did just receive an update today from T-Mobile, as my HOX is branded. The update is 1.28.110.7. It still seems that my mic problem is present.
Does anyone also know what fixes are included in this update?
Thanks
Any ideas anyone? Would really like to fix this instead of sending phone back to tmobile.
Thanks

this is what got from HTC
Regarding to your inquiry about HTC One X, we would like to provide you with following advice and solution as below: First you can diagnosis the hardware issue on the speaker. Please kindly type *#*#3424#*#* on the dial screen, you will enable the function test program. And then select "Audio Test", tap Run. Please finish the test as instructions.
But it didn't work for me the phone just didn't do anything, you can try.
Thanks for that, i just tried the audio test diagnosis. The test shows that everything is working correctly however the same problem still occurs within a call like before.

Try reset to factory setting, see if it does any different.
That is the HTC guy try to do to my one x.
btw have you rooted your phone or unlocked the downloader?
You have working Navigation application in background and this make call routing first to speaker part permanently, not to earphone - like phone is in Handsfree mode. Try to disable it / shut down it / and all be fine.

I'm experiencing this exact issue as well - has anyone come up with any possible solutions?
There are 2 microphones on this phone, the upper one next to the headset jack and the other next to the lower right corner of the screen.
While on phone mode the lower one is the main microphone because its closer to your mouth, on speaker mode the upper one becomes the main mic.
It's probably a hardware fault since you flashed stock rom and it's still not working.
I seem to have this issue too - did anyone get a solution
Audio tests fine, but in Google Talk, or Google Hangout, or Phone Dialer in speaker mode - the mic input is not working, so recipient cannot hear.
Google Maps Issue
So my wife has the same phone (HTC One X) and has the most recent update to 4.0.4 (stock everything) and found out that it is indeed either the google 'navigation' app, or the google 'maps' app running in the background that will give this problem. Simply go to settings, then apps, then stop the maps or navigation process, make sure you go to the cached processes as well and stop those. Right after that her phone started working again. I also tested with the HTC test tool code that was given earlier and just like everyone else the test passed fine. So this should be the fix.
i have the same issue..
.. since updating my HOX to 3.18.401.1 and can confirm that disabling the google maps service solves the issue (at least for now)...
Anyway i have to admit that thos workaround doesn´t make me happy at all, a phone without google maps is a pain in the ......
Update: Nope .... it worked for the first 2 calls, now silence again.....Did already 3 factory resets....no idea anymore, i think i gonna sned it in to HTC...
Hello,
I have the same problem and many users "HOX" have the same worries. It seems that when you change the screen touch there is a lot of trouble of this kind.
Does anyone find a solution?

Any update on this? Did you send it to HTC? Mine has also stopped suddenly a few days back while on viper 3.7.2. Tried factory reset, flashed the rom again, flashed other roms, but the problem is still there...
in may case it was a defective mainboard....
I had to send in my HOX 3 times to HTC repair until they (and me) figured out it was a Mainboard problem.
The first 2 repair attempts where quite strange, because they changed some parts which have absolutely nothing to do with the MIC and when i received it the problem was still here, but anyway
I came to the final diagnosis, because after turning the HOX on, it was working for some calls, then the MIC suddenly stopped...Getting more and more angry because of sending the phone in and receiving it 3 weeks later unrepaired, i once squeezed my HOX really hard during a "silent" phonecall and while squeezing it (on both lower edges) the MIC worked again.
After that experience all was clear, because this behaviour is typical for a hairline crack on the PCB. I wrote this on the RMA form and they exchanged the Mainboard....
So, finally i have my HOX again for 4 weeks now (after almost 2 1/2 months without it) and it works flawlessly....
So, good luck guys and a lot of patience

Problem with S2 going into silent mode on its own

I have had my own SGS2 since it came out and have had no issues at all. I got one for my gf and gave it to her a few days ago and she already has experienced some strange issues. The most important of those issues is that the phone randomly (and quite frequently) goes into silent mode. It happens in the middle of normal use or if the phone is just sitting on the table. Its definitely not a matter of accidentally hitting the volume button or something like that. This is an issue because she is missing all her calls and notifications. The phone is rooted and is running GB 2.3.5 ....Anyone have any idea how to fix this? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Same here too .. I have tried so many roms to get rid of this problem ,,, but same
I thought I was just crazy! My phone does this all the time. Very annoying.

My phone has been doing that from day 1, I thought it must be somehow a changed setting while in my pocket (it it moving or something)...nice to know that it isn't just my phone
Yea I have no idea what it is ..strange. I don't know if her phone still has the problem. According to her it doesn't happen anymore but then again she has her phone on vibrate 99.9% of the time so I can't really know if it is still changing on its own
it is very annoying...I have missed important phone call because of it. I just did not think it was the phone doing it on its own (strange issue for a phone to have). I don't think I have heard of any other phone doing such a thing.
Did you find any solution to this annoyance? I am facing this for quite sometime and don't have a clue on how to fix this

auto enabling loudspeakers when receiving or calling

Im on cm7 ..after I factory reset everything is fine till I reboot ..once I reboot and try making or receive a call the loudspeaker is enabled automatically ...how to deactivate this?
I've tried formatting almost everything possible and I've even reflashed cm7many times...currently I'm on day latest cm7
Try a stock ROM and see if you have the same issue.
If you do, it must be a hardware issue. This happens if the micro usb port is unclean and it thinks it is connected to a dock. I had this problem once on sense. Cleaned the port and it started working again.
Remember that you can damage the port easily so be careful. Look up some guides on how to do it.
Take this as a DISCLAIMER.

Guys this is not a prblm its a feature of HTC phones wen ever u pick the call it enables loud speaker right its bcoz of sensor u activated.this happen with me too. go to settings>sound>incoming calls untick this options
1.quiet ring on pickup
2.pocket mode
3.flip for speakers
But this things all working oly stock not in Cm7.anyway u check for this in Cm7
See the screen shot
Hope I helped
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using Tapatalk 2
That is not entirely correct.
What the HTC features do are:
1. Quiet ring on pickup - Silences the ringing as soon as the phone is picked up
2. Pocket Mode - Louder ringtone while in a bag/pocket (When the ambient light sensors is not picking up much light)
3. Flip For Speaker - Turns on speaker phone when the phone is upside down on a flat surface.
None of these will switch on the speaker on start except the car mode.
Flip for speaker does it..Tht option make the loud speaker on wen every time u receives a call

If it does, you may have the same problem as the OP. Could you please try disabling that option and trying it once?

Who knew! You're using the stock ROM or a custom sense ROM? In my case, it wasn't that. I remember having tried everything else!!
But that flip for speaker is probably the biggest thing I miss on non-sense ROMs. I found a similar app which switches on the speaker when away from your ear after a time period but that's not as effective and cause havoc sometimes.
I'm using a custom sense ROM

i tried different rom and tried cleaning but still no use
take your USB cable and stab your USB port many times. Some dust may have collected there so the phone thinks it is connected to a car dock and goes into car mode

Install es file explorer from play, once installed enable the root persmissions inside settings of es exlplorer.
Once you have access to root - go to system - then look for 'laputa' delete them there are about 3 or so of these laputa files.
And done. :good:
Hmm
try flashing an earlier version, if that doesnt work i have no idea. good luck :fingers-crossed:
I have same problem but I clean my usb port now tis problem solved

[Q] One X calling audio issue

Hi guys, i have just encountered this problem, it was fine in the morning but gone wrong later then. The calling audio is not working and also the no sound from callers when answer the call. However Everything works fine, The in-call vol is max, songs can be played, calling using speaker on is viable as well as when headset is put on. The normal call is just not working even though it is factory reset
Mind to figure out what problem is this? thanks!
Freddy
Try flash the latest radio , and another kernel , if this doesn't work you should send back you phone . Have you been in a high humidity environment or drop water on in ?

Hi everyone!
I took some time this weekend to look into this problem again. I tried different roms, including different ICS and JB and even went back to stock (nand backup from first day). No success, still no sound from the front speaker when calling.
While flashing i tried both with sim card in the phone and without, i always did full wipe and flashed boot.img from fastboot. Still not working. No app that needs this speaker works, i also tried skype and talk. So i am out of options now. Is there anything i can do? Would it help to flash a different kernel?
I guess the hardware got broken somewhere along the line. Would HTC fix it under warrenty? Does anyone have experiences with that?
Thanks again for all your kind help! I know this might be cross posting but im going to try and get my problem solved in other threads as well.

I had the same issue and got it fixed at the HTC service center. I also had wifi fixed and changed my LCD since there were yellow spots on my screen. Since the phone was under warranty everything was done for free.
Ok thanks, i will try HTC sercive center nearby. Though im on unlocked, rooted device so im not sure how they will react... will report!

You'll probably want to return it to stock to make life easier.
