LOUDSPEAKER FAULT on the Magician - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

How about your LOUDSPEAKER - does the other party to your call get lots of cutouts of your voice?
I've searched to find out if this is a common fault on the magician but not found anything.
It is definitely the same fault on both C500s I previously owned.
Come on HTC please fix this loudspeaker problem!
If other companies can do it flawlessly why can't you guys!!! :?:
(other than that problem very happy with this phone)

You must be referring to the mic. In any case I have no problems with the mic or speakers in my unit. Upgrading to the latest ROM has helped many users. There are a number of threads discussing this matter.

Yes sorry it must be the mic at fault when the loudspeaker process is selected. I did search for this to no avail so if oyu can link to it would be grateful.
In any event I have an up to date rom i believe?

Busy tone always through external speaker ?

I have got an O2 trion which has a rather strange feature. When I call a number which is busy at the moment the busy tone is always delivered through the external speaker even though the external speaker is not on. HTC support says they have never heard of this problem and I should send the device in. I hoped that the ROM update HERMIMG_O2_1.25.207.1_SHIP.nbh whould solve the problem but it does not.
Does anybody else have the same problem and is there a solution?
ThankX
Stefan
Yes, I have same problem.
Same here on my V1605. It seems that there is stiill no way of resolving this issue.
See thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61115
I've also discovered that when the engaged tone sounds through the speakerphone I'm no longer able to hear the phone ring - it goes straight to call divert. Will phone CS tomorrow to see if they have any answers.
Hi dIesigner_1,
thank you for the link to the existing topic for this problem. I could not find it before my post.
I also do have the screen alignment problem so I sent the device back to O2. I am looking forward what will happen and if both issues can be resolved. :?:
same issue
hi,
i have the strange busy tone on speaker effect too.
thou hapily it doesn't seem to affect my call routing.
would be interested in the solution, though!
cheers.
I have the same issue on my HTC TyTN, not always but it happens random from time to time. Very strange behavior...
*push*
any solutions yet?
that is anoying as hell!
Hi,
I got a new O2 trion as an exchange device due to screen alignment problems. I also claimed the external speaker bug. Guess what! The screen alignment is ok so far but the external speaker bug is still there. I called the company CS which is responsible for the exchange. They claim never to have heard about the bug and they offered another exchange...I do not belive this will help as long as nobody complains about the problem and HTC is forced to do something.
I get that sometimes too
Found a solution from another thread
workaround update: change "Script" value to "ap" for tone to play only once, and change "Sound" value to "busytone.wav" (comes in rom, at least for HTC TyTN) - it's not loud at all.

Thanks to shadowcaster for this tip.
Also if you want to disable the sound just remove the Script key.

Can anyone explain the remedy for this problem in the most lamens of terms for someone still soaking wet behind the ears regarding my Tytn and WM6 and smartphones in general? Please?

Strange sound issues (this is a tough problem!)

Hey all, im glad this site is up its been great finding what i can really do with my wizard!
here is he issue im having. the wizard has 3 different speakers and 1 microphone. 2 side speakers (used to play music, or speaker phone) and the 1 main speaker (used for hearing calls). none of the 3 work when im making calls, listening to music, alarms, or any of the "screen click" sounds and the microphone doesnt work on phone calls or note recordings. however, the one time the speakers do work is when i have an incoming call, i tried listening to see which speaker its coming out of and it sounds like all 3. the headphone jack still works so thats what ive been using. pressing the speaker phone button while on a call (that i cant hear) doesnt do anything, the UI doesnt show any change or switch to indicate its changed to speaker phone and the "speaker on" button doesnt change to "speaker off" like it used to.
originally i thought this was a ROM issue, i was using the manufacturer's ROM (cingular 8125, unlocked for tmobile service) so i followed the lovely tutorial and switched my phone over to the t-mobile 2.26 ROM. this had no effect, so I then upgraded to XDA's WM6 ROM and while i love this new ROM it still did not fix my sound issue.
im stumped, any help anyone can offer would be great. I wanted to post here before i crack it open to look at all the insides.
same problem!
I'm having the exact same problem! I just noticed the problem recently, when my phones alarm didn't sound. I'm running a custom cooked rom from mattk_r 318 kitchen, but I don't think the rom is the problem, as i am indeed still hearing sound from the head phone jack. I don't think the internal speakers are broken, as when a call comes, the phone rings, and the sound come out from the speaks as mentioned above!
Help!
dropped?
have you ever dropped your phone?
I have dropped mine a couple times and thats the only cause I can come up with. But this never seemed to be a problem until recently.
no major drop recently.
i havent really dropped it recently at all.and for some reason i dont think the hardware is the problem,because i tryed voice recorder,and it records my voice and i can play it
back through the headset.so that confirms that the mic and both spealers work (rings
when incoming call). i really dont want this to be the downfall for my wizard! is there
any key registry entrys for sound maybe that we could have a look at? btw my wizards a G4 if thats makes any difference.
please help!!
mine is a g3, if it were a software issue then reflashing should have solved it. right? i dont know enough about the internal workings of the wizard to know what a flash actually does.
?
Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?
Well, a flash is an OS upgrade/downgrade. It contains drivers, programs, registry settings, things of that sort. Sounds like your problem is hardware related, nothing to do with the OS itself.
I assume the warranty on that baby has already expired, so you're pretty much on your own.
Two options come to mind:
1. The obvious... buy another Wizard
2. The not so obvious... buy another Wizard with a broken screen and take all of its guts out and put them in yours.
A third option also exists... (ther's always a third way)
Mind you, this is for INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY! In no way do I condone the below mentioned method.
Get a new line of service with Cingular and buy the Wizard to use with it. Exchange their boards, swap the IMEIs using the Wizard Service Tool utility found on these boards, cancel the line of service and return the "new" Wizard.
Sound issues
I have had a similar problem but located my problem to the microswitch which is in the headphone socket. Might be worth trying pulling the headphones in and out a few times to see if it allows the microswitch to release (if that is the problem?)
Steve
The wizard is magic
Some how my wizard seemed to repair it self. Its sound is working again...i didn't reflash or do anything special....weird. I think its because the phone had a good vibrate....ive got one of those speaker docks for the wizard..i put it in there...got a phone call and talked and stuff...but while it was in there (with the mic plugged it) it vibrated alot...maybe that flicked the switch mentioned above?
weird..this phone never ceases to amaze me. I just hope it doesn't happen again... because it appears to be emerging as a problem as the wizards get older?
Keep up the good work guys!
LOL!!!!!!!!! its so simple and yet so amazingly smart
wow, Steve you are the most amazing person EVER!
I put the headphone piece in about 1/10 of the way and slowly made a swirling action as i slid it all the way in, clicked the start button on wizard and i heard the "click" for the first time in a month!
Thanks!
I tried different options to get my sound back, no luck so far
Problem started after using the headset-connector to connect it to an FM-Transmitter.
After reading this thread, my guess is that the "micro-switch" is in a wrong position. So I opend my MDA, but can't find any "switch" in that connector.
Is there some more info about that connector, a connection-diagram perhaps ?
what worked for me was inserting the headset jack in roughly, robbing each side of the headset jack to try to hit the "switch". that might work for you.
Yes!!! Thank you a lot!
I have the same problem, no sound in my speakers, just vibrate and sound in handsfree. I figure out that this micro-switch could be the problem, but I haven't know how to solve it. Thank you once again, I love my SPV!! and this community.
Fixed!
Woohoo!
This problem just cropped up for me on the weekend.
Thankfully it wasn't long before I happened across this thread.
About a minute of persistent jiggling the microphone jack did the trick.
Thanks!

no sound from earpiece

Hi, i just bought new diamond2 3 months ago however a week ago there's no sound coming from the earpiece.. i've to turn on the speakerphone to listen to the caller.
any help is greatly appreciated.
have been using the phone as a modem quite extensively though.
I have posted this thread about faulty earpiece of Diamond2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546231
Other user has also noticed there is issue about the earpiece, one of these threads is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548857
I have mentioned in my post that more and more users may comeacross this issue. Someone may believe this issue relates to some certain manufacture lot, HTC should hold responsible to announce which lot should be return just like some Japanese car returning for changing those problematic part(s).
Thanks. Guess i've to send it to HTC servicecentre then.

OK Strange one here - hope someone can help!
I flashed older cookie on to HD2 for a friend and took phone to her in Malaysia - all seemed well but phone was freezing apparently so her brother went to HTC asia site and downloaded a ROM for it! GRRRR
Anyway it was a T-Mobile rom or something with a '51' radio. Since then when she makes a call she can not hear the other person through the earpiece (but can through the headset!) , but CAN hear a busy tone if the person is already on a call when she calls!
So I flashed latest Cookie Dinik style back on and replaced the Radio with 2.07.50.** and still the same!
I don't understand how the earpiece can make the busy sound but not hear the voice, yet headphone works?! I have connected remotely and used MyMobiler to see screen of HD2 and looked for anything that may be causing it but all seems fine.
If anyone has any ideas please help as she is about to go back to an iPhone after just moving to this HD2 on my say so!

hmm thats an odd issue and I would be suprised if anyone else has encountered it :S
are you positive its the ear piece speaker thats making the busy sound and not the loudspeaker on the back of the device?
also have you tried swapping between loudspeaker and normal handset mode? does the call work in loudspeaker mode but not normal speaker mode?

Good idea with the loudspeaker mode - will ask her to check that. Can't see how a rom flash could cause it - hope it's not faulty hardware!
I had a similar problem with my HD2: I wasn't able to hear my counterpart. I have tried several radio/ROM combinations with no luck. Looking at the test results I guessed it was a sporadic hardware issue of the earpiece. Sent the phone off to service, they confirmed the problem, replaced the earpiece and shipped it back, all free. Great service!
Of course, I had to restore to factory settings beforehand, including the original SPL, radio and ROM. If the phone is still under warranty I would suggest you try a hardware repair.
