Forgive the cryptic subject, but I've just had a strange experience with my XDA mini S.
I received a call, and took the phone out of the belt case without answering it...
As I removed the phone, the ringing stopped, but the phone kept ringing (my BT headset tone was still going).
I then picked up the Mini S ringtone, very very faintly - it almost sounded like it was coming from another room in the house...?
What gives there?
Si.

Been having a problem on my XDA II in that when I receive a call and answer it, it takes a few seconds before I can hear the other person. Sometime it woks fine and others the person can hear me but I can't hear them ?
It has been back for repair 3 times and it still does the same thing. The speaker is fine as it works loud and clear, it's only on incoming calls not on outgoing.
The place where I have bought it will now swap it out for a XDA IIi as you cant get the II anymore around here. That's great but I would still like to know why it went wrong ? Anyone got any clues ?
plz explain what is delayed.
Could it be just too much s/w running?
I found that when I am running activesync, calendar & contacts sometimes there is an awful delay in the response of the MDAII. Especially the BT headset has delays then of more then 20seconds (so I answer call on MDAII and then transfer it to headset when this occurs).
delay on phone
:shock: Me too!
Not sure if I should answer on screen,accept or reject,or green button.Both seem to delay,often with caller ringing again.
When the phone rings and you answer it. You hear nothing. It's a case of hello ? hello ? etc. They can hear you but I can't hear them then all of a sudden their sound will just kick in.
Actually sometimes when I dial out, I never hear a ringing tone and all of a sudden the person cuts in.
There is a delay. I have no software running at all. It does this from a hard reset as well.
What bugs me is that it has gone back 3 times and they claim it has been tested and fixed. It clearly hasn't.
Hope the XDA IIi is better, cos this was very annoying.
Hi Ekko,
Would you happen to be running Pocket Bluetooth Tools?
Cheers,
Pete
Hi, the phone was fine until about 6 mths old when it started doing this. I had Pocket Bluetooth on it and it used to be totally fine. This never affected it at all.
Obviously once this problem arose, I have hard reset the machine on a number of occasions and have used it as a clean machine. Same problem ? So not down to Bluetooth Tools.
Hands Free mode
In order to use an Himalaya with a BT headset you need to run 2.20 translated. The Hands Free profile works better and it will even support caller ID and there is no delay when answering calls.
Dear all,
Is it possible to configure my XDA Exec such that the persons ringing me can hear my MP3 ringtone as well ?
Thanks
ringtone
ummm, i don't think that is possible, but here, tmobile US has this thing called caller tunes, where you set your account to play a song instead of the pulsing ringing sound when someone is calling you.
In israel we have the same thing,
In israel we have the same thing,
HOWEVER - technically you could do it:
its like a fax machine when it picks up and hears its not a fax call:
it answers, and other side hears a "still no answer" tone and the fax still rings.
you have to write a program that answers the second the call is recieved, starts an mp3 program with a file, and your phone is on mute,
and upon pressing "send" key un-mutes your phone and stops the music.
just dont forget to tell program to hangup after a minute or so
BUT - you have to check when you are on the phone with some 1 and you play an mp3 on WMP or other player - if the other side hears the music while he's muted.
would be a really good idea !
If all you want to do is let them hear it while talking to them, you could get them on the phone and go into phone settings and click play next to the ringtone. They would hear it by proxy so to speak.

You could always learn how to duplicate noises using your mouth. You know, like that dude off Police Academy.

I had something like that on my old Sony J5 mobile phone from a few years ago, an answerphone built into it onto which you could record any answerphone message you wanted.
It is possible. Had a girlfriend once whose phone did that. T-mobile UK and a one-off fee. Cant remember how much though.
I had it also, was totally crap as I had one hell of a lot of missed calls, people would call, it would start ringing, they'd go "What the f....." and hang up!!
It was useful, you could hear them but they could only hear the soundeffect/answerphone phone message, not the microphone, so you could interrupt it if you wanted to talk to them and if not they believed it was just an answerphone.
MP3 caller tune
Dear all, Thank you all for your comments and suggestions, etc.
What I mean is something just mentioned in this post, called caller tune.
Basically, what I want is: the caller can hear MP3 from my phone instead of that boring "pulsed ringing" before I answer the call.
i dont think that will be possible, surlly thats the phone companies ownership
Of course its possible - answer the phone the second it rings, and hold it near your stereo ;o)
after the 20th time that I had to duck into a nearby shop or building just to hear my own bloody voicemail (Because the built in speaker is so quiet above even slight traffic din you can't hear it) - I randomly tried turning the speakerphone on and putting it to my ear...
that worked really well - meaning it was too loud.
the problem is of course you can't have a conversation like that (or at least I presume you can't - I haven't tried) - but it works great for voicemail

Hello everyone, my Hermes worked a looong time very fine but now i cant hear the normal "beep" when i adjust the volume. Also i hear no conversation when i phone somebody. Alarm sound is off too. I hardresetted it once but it didn't help. The weird thing is: I can hear the ringing sound when i get a phone call?!
It looks like the other person can't hear me either, thats a bit weird because i thought this isnt a speaker but a microphone problem... Two components crashed on one day? WTF? Need help
I have seen this problem with a different htc phone.
their may be a bit of dirt across the miniusb contacts making the phone think it is connected to a headset.
plugin a mini usb cable and waggle it round a bit then test calling someone hopefully that should cure it for you.
I have a very very similar problem with my Vario II. The sound is VERY intermittent. Sometimes it rings but when I pickup there is no sound either way, from the earpiece or mic, the other person cannot hear me. Most of the time the phone just vibrates (set to Ring and Vibrate) so I know there is a message or a call coming...not that I can answer the call. Tried soft resetting it and even changing the ROM, only works for about 5 minutes then the sound is gone again.
The device only works as a phone with a blue tooth headset, the rest of the time it is just a PDA....that vibrates.
Hi there everyone.
I am a new user of an HTC Hero.
I have a problem on incoming calls or sms.
I leave the HTC to lock by itself and, when i have an incoming call or sms, only the screen turns on. I can see the number of the dialer who is calling me on the screen but NO ringtone sounds from the phone. The same problem occurs when an sms is received. No ring is sounded by the phone.
I have checked everything concerning the sound preferences and (i believe) that i have not left anything un-touched.
Can anyone please "save" me from madness???
Thanks in advance!
I can't say for sure this is what happened, but humor me for a second and check a few things:
Of course double check that your volume is all the way up.
When you use the volume rocker on the side of the phone, does it beep?
Do you have any music on it? If so, play it without the headphones plugged in. Do you hear the music?
When you turn speakerphone on during a call, do you hear the other person?
Do you hear any of these sounds using headphones? Do you hear people through the earpiece on a call?
If you don't hear any sound from any of the first few bullets, but you do hear things through the headphones and earpiece, it may be the speaker in the back that's broken. Again, this is just one possible cause, but I had it happen to me. I have no idea how to fix it other than to send it back to HTC or attempt to replace it yourself (I don't know how to do this and would not recommend it if you're not comfortable with it!). Thankfully, my phone fixed itself after a few days (well, with a little help, I accidentally dropped it on the floor from a height of about four feet, but again, I wouldn't recommend that!). Anyway, just a thought, hope it at least helps you diagnose the problem.
