Hi,
Recently I have noticed a problem with my XDA II. When an incoming call comes in the phone does nothing. No ring or incoming call message on the screen. If I call my phone from my land line it rings and rings and never even goes to voice mail! If I press the answer button while doing this, the XDA2 suddenly starts ringing for a second and then it goes to voice mail. The phone then reports I have missed a call. If I then press the answer button to make a call, the phone goes haywire and plays the "missed a call" sound 3 or 4 times and then flashes the led. If I clear the missed call report and press the answer button again it does the same thing again.
If I soft reset the phone it is ok again, but eventually this problem comes back again.
It has only recently started doing this. The first time I noticed the problem was when I was setting up a photo contact for the first time. I have since retored an old sprite backup from what I believe was before the problem started but I am still seeing the same issue. I tried disabling IA_Callerid process on boot and a few other processes (down to 16 processes) but this hasn't helped either.
The main apps I have running are :
SPB Pocket Plus
GPRS Monitor
Wizbar Advance
XCPUscalar
Resco Keyboard
PIEplus
Has anyone else seen this problem before or know what could be causing it? Its totally weird. O2 support didn't have a clue either. I really don't want to have to hard reset my phone and install everything again :?
Many thanks,
Richard.
Do uninstall Wisbar, and possibly try their latest beta' release.
My phone/display freezes on occasion whenever I've missed or ignored a call. Also freezes at times when I answer calls with the pickup key. Just recently, I couldn't open a missed call notification using the soft key. Please help!
I'm using a K-Jam flashed 8125.
I'm tired of soft resets!!
Do you use any additional third party software regarding telephony? I mean like phone alarm or what so ever related to your problem?
Regards
Carty..
I've been using my T-Mobile MDA Vario (latest T-Mobile ROM) for a while now and it intermittently loses sound! By that I mean the screen tap clicks, the beep when you change the volume using the slider and most importantly - incoming call ringer! A soft reset fixes it for a while, and sometimes changing the volume one notch up or down fixes it (but not always). Anyone come across this before?
TIA!
Tim
I had this problem with wisbar advanced lite - do you use it? After using the phone, there was no sound until i performed a soft reset - after i unisntaled it, the problem never came up again...

Nope...here's everything I have installed
Thanks for the reply. No, the only third party software I have installed is:
Smartskeys
Omapclock
TomTom5
ADBWeather Plus
MemMaid
Total Commander
GPSdash2
PocketUAE
TCPMP
Virtual Earth Mobile
Haven't touched the ROMs or anything else.

Hi everybody,
I have this one problem. After 2 days of usage, my Hermes suddenly went mute. No vibration or screen click can be heard even If I changed it to the loudest. I missed a lot of calls and sms due to this problem. The only way to solve this problem that I employ is by soft-reset my device.
I really hope somebody can help me tracking to root-cause of this problem and in the same time providing or proposing a solution to it.
Kindly help. Regards

did you unmute it from the speaker icon ?
if you have a backup restore it if not do a hard reset just make sure you backup your contacts/ stuff first
Phone goes mute
I think I'm having that problem too. Just out of the blue it happened. Didn't install anything extra the whole week. But when someone calls it rings, and if it's missed, it doens't play the miss call tone... or any other sound in that case.

Hi,
I noticed that the problem started to happen when I long-press the "Green" Button to activate the speakerphone during a call instead of pressing the "Speaker On" menu on the screen.
I've no idea why but maybe that could be the problem. Presently, I have to press that "Speaker On" on-screen menu to activate the speakerphone to avoid this problem.
Maybe other users can confirm this problem.

Got the same issue here and I don't use speakerphone
my pda´s auto mute so
No sound although speaker icon no in mute
I have the same problem. Out of the blue no sound is heard at all. I tried changing volume but it did not do any thing. Had to shut down (not soft reset) and restart device and it works fine. This happen several times and I can figure out why it does this.
If anyone can help...

Same here, I'm using a X01HT Softbank variant TYTN flashed with the latest HTC WWE rom and after about like 12 hours of use the device goes mute for some reason, making calls it works perfectly but playing sounds or ringers the speaker does not work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking of maybe re flashing the device since most of my information is on my storage card. I'll see if that fixes the problem :-\.
same problem here....
Same here. Only a reboot fixes it.
I have the same problem but it only happens when using the speaker phone. After the call ends, then there are no more system sounds etc. I then have to soft reset, which pisses me off as I use the speaker phone plenty in the car.
If i dont use the speakerphone, then there is no problem. Kind of strange....
Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?
I have same problem. I thought it was software related, but seems that it is caused by the speaker phone. I had the exact same problem with my old IPAQ 6515. It must be a software issue with WM although the 6515 had WM2003SE and the TYTN has WM5 so I do not know. Really annoying though as I use this phone for an alarm and it never goes off because the sound turns off sometime while I am sleeping - Uhggggg!
I also have the problem. Only a Softreset brings the speaker back to live.
my new problem...misery loves company
same here; curiously 2 pages into this thread and there are no real solutions.
I have solved the problem on my TyTN.
The Midlet Manager is the root cause for the Phone Mute issue on my device.
lol I just started getting this issue out of the blue after a couple of months and I didn't install anything :|
yeah nothing but a soft reset brings the sound back
Happens to me too. Strange coincidence - I've just checked my m3100 and it's giving me the silent treatment now. Time for another soft reset
I never use Midlets, so that rules the above theory out for me. However my battery was almost dead. I was using WiFi at the time, which turned itself off when the warning notifications popped up. Maybe when the battery drops below an acceptable level it turns the sound off to save power, but doesn't restore it after charging?
nope it happens to me even if my battery is fully charged
this used to happen on my i-mate PDA2k, and my JasJar (Universal) running both WM5, AKU3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and unfortunately even WM6 :S
Hi All,
After checking and testing the phone. I found out that the only way for me to solve the muting problem is by silencing the notification sound when a new email arrives. Since I have an unlimited EDGE/GPRS, my push mail is working around the clock. Thus, by not having the new email sound notify, the muting problem gone. This is caused by the notification event locking up the sound and not releasing it even after I read the mail. Previously the only way to resolve is by soft-reset but now, no more.
I have no idea whether this work or not for others but you might try and post your solution here.

I upgraded my XV6800 to 6.1 using the official upgrade. It's giving me trouble answering calls. When a call comes in I see the notification but when I try to press the Green phone button or the left soft button labeled 'Answer' it doesn't do it! It's like the keys are slow or something. When I use the soft button is DOES flash the soft button label like it recognized the button press. But it does not answer the call! I've had this happen at least a dozen times now so I know it's not just me fumbling with the keys. 9 times of of 10 I can't answer a call!
I've tried hard resetting the device and the symptom persists. I've tried using it without the microSD card loaded. Still the same trouble.
Has anyone else seen this? Or can you recommend a solution?
so your saying it doesn't show "connected"?
I had something similar to what your describing but it would show as "connected" on my phone. I couldn't hear anything when I'd answer. I realized after several attempts it was that the phone was paired to my cars bluetooth... I was trying to dial my phone as I was walking away from my car but I was still within 30 ft of the car... so all speaker and microphone was still being redirected to the cars system. lol. Same can happen with a bluetooth headset where the conversation (speaker/mic) is redirected to the headset that may be in your pocket or on the kitchen counter. But it would at least show as "connected" on the phone.
I feel stupid/foolish for shareing that experience but figured just maybe its what your experiencing.
Thanks,
Ben
*edit: by the way... when I had the 6.1 vzw upgrade I had no problem placeing and receiving calls, with the exception of the "user error" I described above. You could always try rolling back to 6.0 and upgrade again. Did you install any other new software after the upgrade to 6.1?
I have been experiencing something similar. PPC 6800 (not Verizon) with 6.0. When phone is locked and call comes in, can’t answer with the button or with BT. 6800 keeps ringing long after caller goes to voice mail. The only way to escape is soft reset. I’m running the original ROM & Radio that came with the 6800.

Nope, never shows connected. It's like the UI has gotten hung somewhere and isn't passing control over to the phone app.
No bluetooth pairings have ever been done to this phone, not before the upgrade and certainly none since. BT isn't even enabled.
Tim may be on to something regarding the lock situation. I've found the lock method a lot less friendly than before 6.1. Can't quite pin it down but it just doesn't seem to unlock properly. Again, it seems to be related to something making the phone 'slow'. On-screen keypresses in the Lock app don't seem to register with the same speed as before 6.1. I can tap a couple of them and not see anything on the screen, then they all run through (showing the screen buttons getting pressed).
My Xv6800 Verizon Does The Same Thing. I Push The Green Hard Button To Answer And It Takes Like 5 Seconds To Answer. It Seems To Happen More When I Have Programs Like Internet Explorer Up, But There Is Still Plenty Of Memory So I Cant See Why It Would Be So Slow. Its Just Frustrating Because Sometimes It Takes So Long The Call Goes To Voicemail And Nobody (fiancee Included) Believes Me! Any Help From Anyone?
fyi... i use an auto close program so when I close an application it really closes. I don't have the slow response or ability to not answer within 5 secs, etc. maybe it is a low memory issue you are experiencing. I don't lock my phone so that may be it too. Sorry I'm not much help here.

No, it's definitely not a low memory issue. It's doing this fresh after a reboot having had no other apps even started.
