So today I noticed that my HOX doesn't vibrate anymore. Not even at the startup.
I can't remember dropping it or something else. One thing that made me curious, I can't use *#*#3424#*#* for the Diagnostic Test. Everytime I'm typing it into the dialer the damn phone won't do a bloody thing. The code just disappears. So could this might be some weird software thing? Or is it really the vibration motor that's not working?
Is there a way to fix this? Maybe a lose connection?
Ok I just noticed that my sound is bugging too. Everything is turned to the max but the phone won't ring on a call. But the speakers definitely are working because I can hear music and other stuff.

Hey,
what rom are you using ?
Did you flashed it recently? If yes did you do a full wipe before flashing ?
The motor connector is unlikely to get disconnected( it gave me hard time to remove it when replacing my screen).
The speaker on the other hand is not connected with connector - its basically 2 pins making contact with the motherboard of the phone, so my suggestion is to try and apply some pressure on the grid on the back of your phone and check if there is a difference - if there is then you should open your phone and bent those pins upwards so the have better contact with the motherboard.
There is the possibility of speaker's driver being stuck( usually moisture) and my advice(old nokia trick) is to suck and blow the speaker so it gets unstuck
Good luck

I hear these AT&T commercials talking about this feature, my verizon TP2 does not do that. The speaker phone button on the back does not do anything either. Is it a setting?
In my stock HTC TP2, in Phone settings (Windows Mobile's, not TouchFlo's), last tab (should be "Advanced"). There's an option that said "when the phone is facing down during a call, use loudspeaker". Check if your phone has this setting?
I don't get all these modifications by providers... in Hongkong phones are sold as is, even when bundled to a certain provider's plan. Many of those modifications aren't really improvements either...
My AT&T Tilt 2 stock rom does this by default!
Cool little feature!!!
not to hijack the thread or anything, but im having the same problem except with the t-mobile version. when its flipped, the mute button lights up but the speaker doesnt activate. the windows option is checked. i messed with some registry settings to enable two way recording (didnt work btw). but that cant be the problem as my brother is having the same problem with his unmodified tmo tp2. his option is checked too.
any ideas?
bump bump, anyone know whats wrong?
Do you have ANY sound? I was using Resco Audio Recorder and I couldn't use the speakerphone when it was working either.. I uninstalled it and no problems since.
i turned this off. it came on once when i was on the couch and it was loud near my ear and freaked me the f out.
I posted about this about a week ago, my solution was to get a new one.
My new one has about 75 dead pixels, so it's going back too.
I'm not satisfied with the build quality at this point...
the speaker does work... when you click the speaker button once in a call. it's just that it doesn't automatically do that when turned over in the call. only the mute button lights up green.
EDIT-
nevermind, it works now. i read this on your thread.

I'd say that unless you've been setting it down on an uneven surface -- or not actually setting down at all as the other guy suggests-- there must be something wrong with your phone.
There's no setting/configuration that would cause the inconsistent erratic behavior you describe -- going on then off, vibrating, etc -- if it's setting on a flat table-top or similar.

apparently i wasn't lying it evenly face down. i was trying it on the couch so that doesn't help. i layed it evenly this time and it vibrated and the speaker went on. then i did a couple of other tests at angles and sure enough you have to have it evenly face down. at one angle, i had it vibrating like a maniac because it thought it was even and then uneven.
problem solved!
You have to make sure it is even on the surface. Also doing a g-sensor calibration may help as well.

Hi folks,
I am experiencing some strange problem, since leedroid rom mod 1.4 this feature isn't working anymore. I've tried a few different roms after I recognized that the volume stays the same after almost "throwing" the device in all possible directions I've wiped everything before installing the different roms but no change, it won't work for some reason and I don't no what this may caused.
It's a nice feature and I really don't want to miss it. Could this be perhaps a hardware related problem ? It's driving me nuts because I have no idea at the moment
Every help is appreciated ! Thanks in advance.
Hi again,
I've run some more "tests" and actually found out that it's working when the phone is lying on the desk, then the volume is getting reduced after grabbing it but when I hold the phone in my hand and shake it during an incoming call nothing happens unless I put it with the face down on a table.
So my question is this how it's supposed to work ? I actually don't know which sensors are being used for this feature :s

The feature only works if the phone is completely still when it starts ringing in my experience.
If you're holding it in your hand and you call it then it won't happen. If you leave it on the desk and then call it, it will happen. The sensor being used is the Accelerometer, I think. Which is incredibly sensitive.

I really appreciate your answer !
That's what I actually thought and thanks a lot for your confirmation The sensor seems to be very sensitive in this case but as long as it's working I'm ok with it because I leave it almost all the time on my desk at work, I just thought that it also had worked while taking it from the pocket but I was obviously wrong.
I don't even know how to begin to troubleshoot this because it happens once in a blue moon, but when it does happen, it is annoying as hell. Every now and then, when I connect my phone through the auxiliary port to play music, there will be a phantom ring that persists even as the music is being played. It's kind of a quiet ring.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the auxiliary cable does not fix the issue. The only way I can make this go away is by rebooting my phone. What in the world is this and has anyone else ever encountered this? I'm losing my mind thinking maybe the ringing is in my head, but others who have been in my car when this happened can confirm that I'm not a lunatic.

I read something about this. Some say the .10 update fixed the issue, and as a work a round placing a call resolves it or a reboot WITHOUT fastboot checked. At work atm and cant look up the references for that sorry, just what i remember.
I nvr had it on mine yet and it seems to happen when switching in/out of 4g/3g modes as well.
I've had this happen only once. Only it was over bluetooth while streaming audio to my car stereo. Had to reboot to get it to stop. WIERD!

i had it happen on my dna! but it only happened when i was out of signal, barely into 3g! it stopped when i put it in airplane mode and a reboot!
Well I'm glad it's not just me who has experienced this, but is there any way to completely resolve the bug? It's pretty annoying when it happens and even more annoying that it's difficult to replicate.

Are you on the latest software and if so can you try airplane mode when this occurs ?

From what i seen on the VZW forums the only way to kill the sound is a re-boot or make a call of some kind.
so pretty much im laying down talking on the phone and during the call all of a sudden the other person cant hear me, i can hear them but they cant hear me. so at first i thought its the signal, but i have full bars. then i turned off the option where if you place your phone facing down that itll mute, but the problem continues. so today i noticed that when that happens, i leave the phone where it is, press the speaker option and it works! so it isnt the signal! can any body tell me if its a setting im missing or is it something i should take it back to the att store?
are you sure the screen is shutting off? perhaps your cheek is hitting the mute/unmute icon (speaker icon)?
Ive had this exact problem for the last year with my s4. Always assumed it was something with the gyro inside. Its really annoying

I faced the same problem once, last week. But I just ignored it, imagining it would be something to do with bad network. I should try to simulate the issue again and see if it's persistent..
Maybe try turning off the motion options in the settings? I turned those off right when I got the phone and I haven't had this issue.

To be honest ive wondered that myself, but even tho i havent checked, last night when it occurredto me to try and press the speaker button to see if it will work (which it did) it did not have the mute button pressed... so because of last night, id have to go with no, it isnt pressed and the screen is black

No, loke i said... that feature was turned on then i turned it off having the same effect
So anyone know a fix or know if i should take it to att for a replacement ?
issue I'm having is odd...I think it correlates to Bluetooth, but still working with advanced tech support. when I change towers, whether I receive or make a call, the phone drops all connection and says "out of service area". then comes right back. seems better without Bluetooth, but still happens. tech has no answers yet. already replaced sim twice and registered phone several times.
EDIT: I turned on the UTMS HD Voice using the hidden diagnostic menu and after 5 test calls today, no drops. Not sure if it is coincidence or something else...
Experiencing call issues too

I've also been experiencing similar issues, 2 issues in particular
1. During a call, I suddenly can't hear the other person or they suddenly can't hear me and I have to end the call and call back
2. I attempt to place a call, it rings and then when the other party picks up I hear nothing, they hear nothing. I sometimes have to call twice or three times before there's a successful call and I hear them and them hear me.
These issues occur randomly, with and without bluetooth. I've tried factory resetting the phone but the problem has continued.
I purchased my phone from Amazon.

I didn't notice any sound difference when setting the UTMS HD Voice to "enabled". Did you see the two options for "enable/disable"?

Yea I found them last night, I'd missed them somehow before. I have it enabled but haven't noticed anything as far as being more clear or a specific icon on the screen. I remember having seen another thread on this, maybe it was in the Verizon forum, that stated the UTMS was not even the right network option to enable the HD though? Does anybody know for sure?
Has anyone found a fix for the sound cutting out after a few seconds of a video or game? I have tried the soubdabout app, Turing the USB option off, disable Power save.. Still happening..

I have the same issue sometimes, I've read around the web and it seems to be a mix of software and hardware related, I read a guy suggest removing and putting back the case (in case you have one) and I did that and the sound came back, haven't had the issue again.

Hmm, I keep mine out of a case,.. Yeah I'm not sure what it is, it's a 50/50 between some say software and some say hardware. I would asume that software would of been fixed by now, either Samsung or 3rd party

So I found a solution for the issue in my case, it does seem to be software but it's really weird cause the issue continues in any firmware, it started when I was on 6.0.1 PI2, then I flashed Nougat and had the same problem (I hated it and battery drain was killing me) I went back to 6.0 and changed to the PK2 version and the issue continued, it was really weird cause it would cut out in audio messages, games but not music, I also tried every single suggestion on every forum and post I could find EXCEPT the Soundabout app, today I gave up, installed soundabout, selected media to speakers and bam, problem solved, I still need further testing, but it seems ok for now, keep in mind that I also have "prevent USB audio routing" on and "Easy Mute" off.

Im trying the soundabout app now, I orginally had it set to automatic and was still having the issue, now I set it to speaker and so far so good.
as this worked for me but idk about others... I was told to remove all paired bluetooth devices (on/off doesnt matter) then go to settings>connections>more connection settings>nearby device scanning then turn off... worked for me... (sorry for zombifying an old post but as this is still current with mine and many devices i decided to help)
