I've had a O2 XDA Orbit for about 3 months now without any problems, but it seems to devloped a strange fautl today.
This morning (around 7am) the alarm went off as usual, but come about 10 when I tried to make a phone call the call was placed but I could not hear the other person (and she could not hear me). I checked out the phone and noticed that both volume sliders where set to off, changing them and I still could not get any sound out of the device.
In Settings Sounds & Notifications when I press the play button theres no sound, and trying the built in sound/video/midi results in no sound.
Oddly when someone calls, I changed the ring tone to an mp3 wich will play, but again I cant hear the caller, or they hear me.
I've done a soft reboot, with no help, before I tired a hard reset I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas?
I'm having exactly the same problem. If anyone has any advice regarding this I'd be greatly apperciated!
Put WM6 on not too long ago, and its been fine. Anyhow just like 2 weeks ago it sometimes makes this super annoying beeping sound. And its not a beep for a txt msg (which I would also LOVE to remove the 3 beep crap, maybe make it just one beep, if anyone knows how) but more importantly this new random beeping is driving me nuts. It seems to happen more when Im on longer calls but I may not be 100% on that.
Anyone else ever experience? Ive restarting my phone a few times hoping it would solve it but no go. I could do hard reset maybe? Would rather not but..
Oh and to note versions
ROM 3.57.502.1
ROM date 7/10/07
Radio 1.48
Protocol 32.81.7020.20H
Thanks
Any beep I have during a phone call is because another call is coming in at the same time. This sounds like what's happening to you... "call waiting"

Sounds like a notification "beep during a phone call every 1 minute".
its def not call waiting or battery dying or txt msg or email or anything similar. Ill check the 1min beep but I dont think it happens every minute not to mention that was never turned on. Hell I dont even remember where to turn it on but ill look thru the settings.
Any other ideas? I really dont believe its either of those =(
Hello,
The only times I've heard such loud beeping is when I'm calling (or being called by) a friend who is on the Sprint network.
Every now and then this loud beep comes up... Very loud, unlike any beep/bong/screech the phone produces... The funny thing is that he doesn't hear it... :/
I assume is some kind of cell signaling that is not being filtered by Sprint...
Maybe it's a roaming alert or something like that.
As far as changing your alert for messages/voice mails, you can do that through the "sounds and notifications" icon under settings.
I sometimes get a beep to remind me that I have a message that I haven't yet opened. At least that's what I think it is.

This is what's been happening to my wife. Everybody that talks with her on the phone, will hear this loud beep. And it's really loud. If you had your stereo headset that came with the 8525 it almost hurts. She doesn't hear anything. At first I thought it was my WM6 ROM or something but it happened to my mother-in-law while on the phone with my wife, and it's happened to me when I call my wife from the company line.
She and I are both on AT&T. Now that I see this thread, I might give AT&T a call.
Yes so heres what ive concluded. I was on a 30min phone call with the woman and at approx 3minutes it made the beep. Not once again after. When I was odne with the call, no notifications (no txt, no email, no missed call, no low battery).
I will note, though, when I got an incoming call while on the phone before I thought the sound was different (may be wrong) but recently I received one while on the other line and the sound it made is the same as the one im hearing, however when i hear it, there are no calls coming in. My phone is stupid maybe and thinks someone is calling =(
May have to hard reset and hard that fixes but dont want to go that route just yet.
You sure you aren't moving the scrollwheel? I a lefthanded person sometimes find myself moving the scrollwheel during a phonecall, this also gives a beep.
def not moving it. In fact, I have also disabled those sounds from scrolling in the registry some time ago
I am not hearing a beep on mine but people that I am talking to say they hear a loud beep sometimes only once or twice during a 30 minute call. We are both on AT&T however. They also say they only hear this beep while talking to me. I've changed roms and the beep still occurs I am told.
Did you ever find any answers?
Its the spooks monitoring your calls, come on own up, what you done??
I've had a couple of odd beeps on calls too. AT&T as well. Running Schaps 4.2.
Is there a way to set Pandora as my ringtone?!
So when someone calls a different song plays.
Thanks

But .. then you not know if it is your phone.
.... Randomacts kinda has a point there. haha. How would you know it's your phone ringing if a random song plays every time it rings. It would actually probably drive you nuts. Every time you'd hear music, you'd pull the phone out of your pocket just to make sure.
Year get your point but I want to be able to setup either my Pandora or satellite radio as my alarm.
I guess that would be to silly to have a random ringtone.
Steve
Yea. As far as i'm aware, it's not possible. I could be wrong... but i really don't see anybody else having thought of doing that and developing an app or something for it considering what was already pointed out.
I have actually thought it would be neat to have random ringtones, but i highly doubt it would even be possible through pandora or any other streaming type source. The only way i see it even being feasible is if pandora was constantly streaming in the background and just passed the audio through to the speaker when the ringtone is called upon. As far as my thoughts towards random ringtones i have a handful i like to switch between, most of which are ones i've ripped from mp3's, something like a ringtone playlist that just picked a random tone from the list. This way you would still know it was your phone ringing.
I don't know if an app like this already exists, but I got the idea after talking on the phone to a friend in the middle of a game, and to be honest I just wanted to hang up because I was getting belted whilst playing and on the phone at the same time.
And it dawned on me, what a great app that would make.
Someone rings you, but you don't want to be rude, so you hit the app icon and the phone starts cutting in and out, with background interference, hissing, crackling noises. Enough for you to say "I think there's something wrong with the connection - I'll call you back later"
Presto!
You haven't been rude, you can call back when its convenient, and everyone's happy
Hi,so my gf's Note 2 arrived today,but it seems to have a certain hiss problem. Whenever she enters apps,clicks on something or does anything,the back speaker starts buzzing for like 4-5 seconds. Same thing applies to calls aswell,just this time,the buzz is nonstop(in the ear speaker). Plugged in the headphones,same thing. I have a Note 2 myself,but mine has none of these problems..
I swear to god i googled it in so many ways but i didnt find anything that could help me,this forum is my last resort. Any help besides "send it back" or "send it to a service" is more than appreciated.
Oh i do have to mention,this one time she was talking on the phone,the damn thing stopped. No hiss whatsoever. But obviously it recurred..
Please help?
did you try factory reset?
