I'm having a strange sound issue with my Wizard since late this afternoon.
Got called several times today, sound was working great en mic aswell. But around 4 I got called. The ringtone played as usual, but I couldn't hear the other line and there was no sound at all.
Did a softreset, but this did not help. Friend tried calling me, no luck.
So a hardreset followed, and again it did not help anything.
Now I don't hear any sounds coming from the build in speakers and my mic is not working aswell.
Tried several soft- and hardresets, tried removing the battery, checked every possible option in the phone... nothing.
Strange thing thou is that when i connect my headset, I do have sound and people do hear me. And the vibration is still working aswell.
Is it possible both my mic and build in speakers are defected? I still think it's a ROM issue since I'm using a custom T-Mobile 2.26 ROM.
...
Which brings me to problem number 2...
I lost alot of text messages the last time I upgraded my Wizard to a new ROM. How do I prefent this from happening again?
Is there a way to export of backup the messages? Or are there any program around that can do this?
cant solve your first problem, but have a suggestion for your 2nd problem... install this cab and sign up for this free service.. it will back up text, pics, contacts, voice notes, etc... its pretty cool
the site for it is http://1800message.com/ but you have to install the cab in order to sign up for the service
I recently put Black Majick on to my Hermes. From then it started exhibiting a strange problem.
Bascially no sounds are played. For example, there is no sound played on incoming calls, new sms or email messages, when dialing a number etc. I can use the phone as such (the speaker works during a call).
A Soft reset will get the sounds working again but after a while they stop. This is within a couple of hours. I'm yet to work out what is causing it.
I've tried rolling back to older versions of Black, including 3.01 which used to work just fine, but the problem persists.
I've hard reset and then not installed anything else. The only changes are to setup push email. But it still stuffs up after a while.
It's obviously not a hardware fault. If it is software I am at a loss as to what though as different firmware + hardresets should eliminate that. I've tried removing the SD card in case that was some how playing a role. The only thing I can think of is that there is something in EXTROM causing the issue? Doesn't make sense to me though.
Searching around the place has revealed that some people have similar issues but there doesn't seem to be a fix. I've started this new thread in the hope that someone that knows the answer will see it and assist.
Loud sounds have dropped away
Mine sounds like it might be hardware, as the phone only occasionally rings (when I test (ringer ) it just vibrates), I can hear phone calls. I'd like to know where to check software in case there's some switch that I've accidentally tweaked. I have dropped the phone once or twice but not clearly lost sounds immediately after.
It still plays A2DP Bluetooth stereo no problem (that's why I upgraded away from Orange's WM5)

I own an TyTN with Windows 6 (HTC official) installed some months aga and recently I have problems with the speaker.
I can not hear ringtones, music, Tomtom voice, alarms, etc. but I can hear a phone conversation when somebody call me.
I've revised the 'Configuration > Sounds and Notifications' and I have the sounds activated. I did a hard reset and before to touch or install nothing I've checked with no succes.
Could somebody help me please?

Sounds like the loudspeaker is dead. Just double check in the volume control to see if you have the slider set higher than zero - but it may well be a hardware issue.
Could well be the rear speaker connection has slipped off - not uncommon and an easy fix - see here (oh and a search would have produced several results for this problem):

Mike
Thanks a lot!!
It seems it will be a hardware problem
I've seen all the related threats before but I was hoping that somebody could give me a clue to fix some software bug.
Mike, I've been last summer in Scotland (and I visited Aberdeen too) It is a wonderfull land. I was surprised and delighted with the beautifull landscapes.
Thanks and regards,

Any help is appreciated.
i have Abusalza's RBSN.V27 ROM/ Radio 1.47.30.10, protocol VER 32.80.7020.20H
Hello,
i seriously need help.
Until this morning, my X1 worked. Over the last few days I was playing around a bit with various TF3D options, etc. I should note that I did not touch the ROM.
Then suddenly my phone gave no sound anymore.
No audible resonse to a stilus click on the screen.
No sound from FM radio.
No sound from phone (neither ring nor can I hear the caller).
(Vibra alarm works when activated though)
When switching to speakerphone I hear a very soft static crackle when doing the switch. Just as if the speaker is turned on. But then - no sound at all.
No microphone function on phone (caller cannot hear me).
No sound via headphones on phone.
No sound via headphones on MP3 playback.
Everything else appart from sound works. Even the phone can make a connection when calling - you just hear nothing.
I tried a soft reset. Nothing - still no sound.
Then I tried a hard reset:
Obviously the hardware of my speaker is ok. Because when I make a hard reset, there is the "pling" sound to inform me, that I should calibrate my screen.
Then there is another "pling" when the message appear, asking if I want to get the automatic provider settings updated.
But afterwards - no sound at all in the whole phone.
Then I went to update the ROM, thinking I might have (no idea how, but you never know) done something to audio drivers. I replaced my German T-Mobile ROM with the prepared German ROM without branding from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
But still - same result as above.
Anyone got any idea?
Really nobody having any helpful comment?
did you try to change the radio??
I flashed a whole new ROM - same problem persists.
Besides: It´s not a Radio problem because system sounds and MP3 playback don't have any sound either.
Stating the obvious
Sorry to state the obvious but it sounds like the connection or the speaker module has gone. Have you recently tried the head phones on the X1? please see below link for a possible reason.

Hello Creamy-Goodness,
thanks for you input.
If there was somewhere a hardware switch for sound output to speaker or headphones (which I doubt) that is stuck, it would not explain why I have neither sound in speaker NOR headphones. (One would assume that depending on the position of the switch at least one of the two should work.)
Apart from that I only tried the headphones to troubleshoot the problem after I found out there was no sound.
Nevertheless interesting, that this happens to other devices.
Speaker module cannot have gone either. There is an audible system sound from speaker right after hard reset to inform me that I need to calibrate the screen - but no sound anymore afterwards.
I will try to have the device swapped next week.
reg. sound issue

Usually there is a simple fix which involves replacing a DLL, but not in this case of course - unless that ROM includes the bad DLL. I seem to remember it was a problem which occured after installing TF3D, but I couldn't find anything when searching just now.
It might be worth you checking the ear-speaker sound (make a phone call), as there is always the possibility that sound is being re-directed or intercepted (by something like Troca2). Check what programs and services are running.
Tests should be done with a known-to-work-fine-ROM of course.
Okay, I finally got the original ROM to flash the X1 back.
And strangely - when after one week of not using it I turned it on again to flash the phone, I got my sound back.
I have absolutely no idea what happened and why, but I am glad that I do not have to send it back.
@k_ash82
What I did is:
Turned my X1 off (not just stand-by), really off.
Waited one week.
Switched it on again.
I had my sound back.
No idea why, but maybe that works for you as well?
Just try it and please post your experience.
It would be very kind of you to share the german t-mobile stock rom with the community . Perhaps it could be added to "Xperia ROM and Guides" Thread, too.
I have no sound sometimes with this rom

After switch off and turn on the phone again the sound is back.

i have original sony rom (no branding) and also the same problems
no sound after a while (sometimes when phone goes in standby, sometimes just without a reason)
cannot play any sound in no application (media player,core player,etc) also the phone ringing or sms sound is off.
but the most annoying thing is, i can make a call, the call goes through, but I can hear nothing from the called person.
sometimes it works when i switch of the phone and restart, but sometimes I have to do 4 or 5 restarts.
the phone is now 1 week old, an I haven't installed Touch3D or anything like that, because I made hardreset and left the original configuration on factory settings, just to make sure, that it's no software error.
anyone got a solve for this problem actually?
if I ask google, there are many people with this problem, but no solve found till now
i have an issue with the speaker too but not exactly the same as the one described above.
my speaker still plays sound but it is about 10% of the original volume when it is already set to loudest (you have to put your ear right next to the speaker to hear the sound)
after i re-flashed the rom, it worked normally for about half a day until the problem returned
can anyone please help??
i keep missing my calls ><
thanks
this is a well known issue on some X1 phones ! you cant fix this with any software-update because it is hardware related. some x1 phones have it like every 2 weeks, others 3-4 times a day. most of the time you can just reset your phone but this is not a solution.
you have to send it back to SE in exchange for a new one.
i called my provider (o2) and they delivered a new x1 _on the next day_ in exchange (they have a 48 hrs delivery/pickup/return service).
the new phone works just fine !

I don't think there is a post about my issue. I apologize if I am wrong. (not good at searching in forums).
Anyway I've had my HD2 for about 6,7 months now and I have had no problems. But just recently I have noticed I am getting A LOT of missed calls. And sometimes they're very important to me.
So I decided to test it out and call myself. Now the call goes through but there is no ringtone. I looked in the settings and everything seems as it should be, I tried changing the ringtone too and a couple settings. The System volume and Ring volume are both at Max. I can recieve messages fine and there is a tone. It's just calls that are my main problem.
So I am not sure how to overcome this, please let me know.
Thanks in Advance.
Had this problem yesterday. even soft reset didnt help.
And then suddenly it started work again.
