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

Hello all together...since a few days I've got a serious problem with my imate.
It all started with Voice command stopped recognize my commands ( sometime during the day...i did nothing...5 minutes earlier everything was fine )
then lateron I tried to play music with the media player, but nothing came out of the speaker.
I started to get a better mood again, when someone called me and the magician made played my ringtone ( mp3 )
But when I answered the call I didnt hear the caller and neither did he....
So it is really weired... :/
This was a few days ago...in the meantime I made several cold resets, removed the powercell for about a day aso. but nothing...not even the f****** windows tones sounded.
So I tried skype on the mobile and on my desktop, just to test...
And now it is getting definetely weired.
When I called my imate from the deskopt pc firstly nothing happend. But when I started to press some buttons on the imate during the call, the sounds came through the mic and I heared them on the headphones of my desktop pc, BUT not in any way on my magician. I really dont get this... did somehow mix the speaker and the mic mixe up with each other ?!
I hope there is someone with some experience in this field, I really dont get this
And again, I really did nothing ( install copy or anything ) from the time it worked to the time it stopped working...
Thx in advance guys

Addition:
I realized
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20784
, but I think he changed the goal of his topic...so I still hope there is a solution.
Secondly I also realized that the headphone sound ( Imate ) is still working.
Bad thing
Thirdly and finally, I found it out due to the working headphone fact.
The speaker is now working fine again.
It is a ****ing loose contact, probably a serious problem of this series.
If anybody else got the same problem, try to insert the headphones only half and move them around a bit... with a bit of luck you will hear the speakers work again.... but for how long?!
well... so far i'm loving my tmobile mda after i've updated to the imate kjam rom (aku2) and of course readded some tmobile customizations and other tweaks..
anywho..
i noticed an alarming problem and wanted to see if others have had this problem or if its specific to my device and setup.
i tried calling a pal last night (he has a landline) and received a busy signal tone. After i hung up, i went back to watching my tv shows i have on a miniSD in Media Player 10 on my mda. The video played fine but the sound no longer played. Checked out TCPMP and same problem, no sound.
Then went into my system settings > Sound Notifications and again, no sound at all.
did a soft reset, sound is back. So i tried calling pal again to get the busy tones; got busy signal and again lost all sound.
So is this a WM5 bug or have i done something to mess up my busy signal tone? i have not done any sound related tweaks (before my last hard reset i did the microphone boost hacks but decided on not doing that this time around)
peace
I haven't had the busy=no sound but I have had the no sound after less than a day on standby--do a soft reset and it's back until who knows when--I have posted this issue but no one has responded yet in both this forum and another one--I have even googled the issue and still can't figure it out--This only started after I installed the latest ROM. Any one have an idea as to why this is happening? It's very annoying to have to reset my handset every day as well as not know when the sound will go out thus missing an important call. Much help would be VERY appreciated!!
BTW I have no 3rd part apps installed
I have the same problem
HELP !!!!!!
weard thing:
When I call to myself, (only to test the busytone) all sounds dropps after hung up. The only solution until now, to get it going are by a softreset,
BUT, if I do a call to another number after hung up, all sounds are back!!!
Without doing softreset!!!
So seamonkey420 could you try this and report?

Same Problem
Dear all;
I have faced the same problem with my I-mate jasjar. While working with anything the sound is off and nothing can be heard, also the turn speaker on cannot be pressed (or can but doesn't work).
Also i have problems with sms delivery that whenever i receive sms the phone stop working and hang.
anyone knows how to fix this, knowing i am freeing up all the rom and working all application on the SD card.
I've had this problem several times, am on my 4th handset after 3 warranty replacements.
No idea why.
SMS "hang"

Sadawy: I had a similar problem on my K-Jam (HTC Wizard). What seemed to happen was that the Messaging app would fire up as if to receive a new message and simply lock there. I could exit the app but it would keep coming back. Technically it wasn't a hang, but the messaging app being stubborn.
I ended up narrowing it down to when people were sending me MMS messages, and my MMS folders being missing from the Messaging app. Molski's MMS folders CAB hepled me fix the problem.
Don't know if that's your issue, but thought I'd throw it in there.
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
I'm suffering from the same problem here.
it only freggin vibrates.

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 !

Wonder anyone got this problem, make outgoing call or incoming call, no voice from internal speaker. But if I press "Speaker On" during call I can hear the voice of the other party.
Playing music song playback sound ok, only during call conversations , both outgoing & incoming, I can't hear any sound unless I turn the speaker-phone on.
seems there is a problem in the phone speaker, though the main speaker is working properly.
Tried hard reset and also changed the SIM, but to no avail.
Any advice? Thanks.

My problem has been solved. I had created a backup of my system with SPB backup and it restored my phone back.
I think the problem arose after installing oldSAP speaker phone, which routed the incoming and outgoing call audio via speakerphone.
However, I cant understand that if it was a software problem, why could'nt it be solved by Hard reset.
Any suggestions ?

My problem with the phone speakers resurfaced, sometimes they behaved and sometimes did'nt, thereby forcing me to turn the speakerphone on for listening to calls.
I finally took my phone to a nearby Mobile Repair Shop. The mechanic told me that it was a common problem in most phones and the only way out was to change the phone speakers. The speakers available were Chinese ones for Rs 150 and what he called original ones for Rs 300. I opted for the latter and he replaced the speakers within 5 minutes, whether he changed the speakers or just refittted the Originals after cleaning? I do'nt know. However, problem solved since then.
I have same problem for about 5months which was described in the first post, and can't solve this problem...any help?
I am also facing the exact problem!!! It was working fine until I accidently did the factory reset... now I have installlllled OS many times with diff vrs. & from stock to diff customized roms but the problem still persists!!!! wondering wat happened!!
