It's a long time since the last conversation about this subject. Does anyone has the miracle solution to make it work when the lid is closed? This is the holygraal for me with Universal :lol:
Ditto. Ive been reading quite a few threeads on this forum about it over the last 6 months but all seems to have gone quiet recently...
Is there any news?

Couldn't see anything elsewhere so sorry if I'm duplicating anything.
My problem is that I'm having intermittent problems with the sound on my XDAII - not very useful when waiting for a 'phone call. The weird thing is that I can use my Bluetooth headset to make and receive calls but I can't get anything from the machine.
The problem is coming and going - it's off at the moment. I'm loathe to take it in to O2 because the last time it went for repair - the colour went to a strange black and white - it took more than 3 weeks to get it back.
The way it's behaving it almost seems as if there is something loose - connecting sometimes and not others.
Any ideas ?
This is a bit embarrassing for my first post
After trawling other posts I found this one - which at least gave me some encouragement - because it wasn't just me.
I had decided to take the dangerous route of opening the case BUT found that simply by removing the battery and doing a bit of cleaning the sound returned
Nothing like a bit of self-help !!
I'll go back into my cage now..........

Hi All,
Wanted to get an idea how many of you had this "feature" - when you open the hinge it "clicks".
I am on Jasjar no 3 now, and I have seen 2 that have done this. It only does this when you have not opened it for a while.
I recall on JJ no2 that this stopped as the hinge loosened off.
anyone else?
no clicks on jj or mda pro here
Excalibur aka Dash. or Wizard?. I know that they are two different animals, but i like the smallness of the dash. I have been using the wizard for a while and am pleased with it. Is web browsing the same as it would be on the wizard or are more webpages unviewable?
I tried the Dash for 2 weeks and returned it in favor of the Wizard. It had many nice things about it, like the Internet Sharing way of tethering, but a couple of things I couldn't figure out, like how to get to Voice Dial in less than 11 keystrokes, and that Voice Dial would stop working for me. I was always pulling out the stylus.
At the end of the day, the Wizard with the remapping program installed was just easier for me to use, with the stylus only rarely required. I also liked the more typical headset jack in the Wizard.

Umm...stylus...Dash?? How hard do you have to push on a non-touchscreen to get it to register?

I question whether Elorimer has ever had a Dash in their hand. If he/she has then my apologies.
LOL....that's pretty funny. For a real answer, tho, you might want to check over at howardforums.com. They're more into the dash over there.
unfortunately the'yre all about the Gash over there. Maybe that explains the influx here??

Voce dial with Dash AKA S620: keep HOME pressed a while= 1 keystroke
Internet sharing cames from AKU 3.0= Test (or wait) a new ROM
Do you like BIG or SMALL? Depend what and who you are but both are great devices!

Umm.. sorry, brain cramp. It was only 7 weeks ago too. Still, I think it was 11 keypresses to voice dial, cause pressing the home key didn't do it. I think I wished it had a stylus.
I have the Dash and K-Jam. I used the Dash for an entire weekend as my only device when I left the state without a laptop. I went back to my K-Jam and have not looked back. The Dash is a novelty in comparison.
I missed the touch screen.
I missed the apps.
I didn't like trying to get used to arrowing all over the place.
I hated how when I am entering information into a web form. I have to hit enter on the box before I can type, even though I have it highlighted/selected. If you don't hit enter first, you lose the first letter you type.
I FRIGGIN HATE XT9!!! It won't go away. It's a nightmare that I can't get rid of.
I went a whole week last month out of state with my K-Jam and I came home happy I had it. I had no laptop and was called by the office to do some work. I was able to fill out some forms as well as create a couple word docs and email them to work the same day. It was awesome.
If they have 3G coming soon, get the TyTN. If not, the K-Jam (Wizard) is awesome.
Feel free to ask any questions. I have them both and will be keeping them both.
Now if you want a comparison of my Dash to my MPx220, the Dash rocks in comparison.

Hi guys, I am worried on my xda exec. Problem is that when there is an incoming call, I here the mobile ringing but when I answer, I cannot hear anything. Same thing when I place place a call..I hear nothing. A friend of mine suspected that it might be that I upgraded firmware from O2 website. He asked me to download radio version 1.15.00. Said this should solve my problem. But it didnt. Can someone please help me out. I'm frustrated without it, as it is part of my work tools.
Looking forward to hear from you guys
Best Regards
Henry

cheers

moved to universal
Tron is right, i have same problem too, switch in headphone jack is dirty, try clean with toothstick or vacum cleaner
Hello all!
First, thanks for an awesome forum! It has both helped me tweak my Wizard, and also get help when I have needed it.
Well, I have no choice now but to ask here. Last autumn, my warranty was almost up, and a wierd problem presented itself. The mic and speaker suddenly just stopped working! The sidespeakers still work, I think, because the phone rings when someone calls me. But the caller can't hear me, and I can't hear the caller. And there isn't a hint of sound in it, no static or noise, there simply is nothing.
As there were only a few days before the 2 year warranty was up, I ran to my dealer and turned it in. A few weeks later, the phone returned, working again. But now that I come to think about it, I don't remember if I got a replacement or if they actually repaired it... It looked a little like they handled it rough though, maybe it was another phone... Well, that's not important right now.
The same thing has happened again! Summary:
1. Mic & phonespeaker dead
2. Stereo speakers work under certain conditions
3. Wired headset that came with the phone works, both for calling and media
So it seems like a hardware problem. Please note, although I downgraded the phone to original, official Swedish Qtek 9100 ROM, it has been thoroughly tweaked and upgraded to a number of different WM6 ROMs - but all that has been working beatifully!
Still, what are the odds for the mic&speaker dying twice in a row, on different phones (i think the present one is a replacement)?!?
Question: Does anyone recognize this? Is there a possibility that it is software related, and maybe fixable? I have searched both the web and these forums but haven't really found any information on it.
ANY input would be greatly appreciated!
Additional information:
Qtek 9100 (Swedish), G3 model, WM6 upgrade successful (unlocked)
EDIT: There are no system sounds, which is wierd, because the phone can still ring. I thought the system sounds came from the stereo speakers on the sides of the device?
Hello all!
It is a glorious day to be alive!!! Or to have a fully functional Wizard, at least!
Lol - my topic isn't very old, and i reply to it myself with a solution (?). I Googled after the Wizard service manual, and found it right here on Xda .
In all honesty, i didn't do all that much. I just followed the disassembly instructions of the wizard about half-way through, to the point where you get down to the back of the motherboard. I poked and fiddled enough to locate the mic assembly, only to discover that the mic is soldered to the mainboard of the phone. So, i figured i'd just leave it be, because if the mic is really broken the motherboard needs to be repleaced, or a replacement mic needs to be soldered on there.
After removing A LOT of dust in there (honestly, i think the service center that had my device last time wasn't very careful with anything, even a screw was missing! ), i reassembled it. The flat cable running to the keyboard was also a little skewed, but that may have been me, anyway i corrected it too. Same with the speakers.
Long story short, after successfully reassmbling the phone, i fired it up, called my home phone and voila! I works!
Not much of a fix, as i don't really know what i did exactly, but dust, dirt and some bad connections/soldering may have benn the culprit.
All in all, i'm very pleased with my afternoon here. Thanks for stopping by .

hi epatnor,
I think the problem with your phone was a stucked microswitch in the 2,5 mm connector for the headset. I read about it here in the forum. Sometimes the switch stays in the closed position and the phone still thinks the headset is connected. Thats why all the sound is sent to the not connected headset and therefor your phone seems to be not working (unless you connect the headset)...
But removing the dust is for sure not a bad thing...
For the next time: I think there was an easier solution for this problem than disassembling your phone...
regards

Thanks huibuh_1,
Yes this was probably not the smoothest way of "fixing" it. That said, the stucked microswitch theory would actually fit my problem well - I can see now that the exact problem I was having would arise if such a switch was indeed stuck.
However, I think that the problem would be more intermittent since I actually use that port now and then - especially since it's the only way to talk (besides using a bluetooth headset that is). And since I connect the wired headset now and again the switch is used and moved, I suspect that this would result in the speaker/mic coming online again maybe..? Temporarily at least?
All the same, thanks for replying - this might happen again and with your information I'm better prepared for it!
