Hey...
Having problem with no sound during call on my XDA2i. I have full system sounds, WMP is working, tones are working and key tones are fine. but when the phone rings and I answer there is no audio and the 2nd party can't hear either. Also the speakerphone doesn't activate, but sound works FINE through wired headset and Bluetooth. I've tried the audio jack, with raking it with the 2.5 mm jack to no avail
I want to try to upgrade my ROM as I have found this worked for someone who suffered from NO sound at all on their device. I downloaded Deathnoise 1.11.171 ROM but want to know HOW to perform the operation.
1) do I need a PC application to 'flash' or install this rom?>
2) can i use USB or do I need serial cable>?
If anyone could just give me a quick list of what I need to do this i'd greatly appreciate it, i just have zero experience with ROM flashing and upgrading.
THank you in advance..

hi bane, i recently flashed my friend's xda2i. this is what i did.
1.) put the xda2i device in its cradle to sychronize in windows desktop pc
2.) run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, follow the window prompts
3.) you will notice that your xda2i will switch to bootloader mode and the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe will stop and give you error message.
4.) re-run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again, this time your device flashing will be successful.
please note that do not attempt to flash your device using windows vista.
I see, thank you for the info. so when the device is flashed, im guessing its a hollow shell ready to install the new rom...how does that work? i've unzipped the deathfire rom pack, but see no cab file. does the rom install from an exe on the pc?
thanks again

Hey, just incase anyone is reading this thread....The rom upgrade worked fine... but it didn't resolve any problems regarding the no sound in call.
HOWEVER, to support the only real info i've found in the forum about this problem, the sound problem rectified itself.... however, it's only been one day. i am not sure how long it shall last, as the last time I took the XDA apart and put my friends 'phone' circuit board in which suffered the same problem weeks prior and it WORKED, but only for two days.
I'll keep you posted ...
hi, I've been having the same problem, but only when it is on charge. put the phone on charge, try to use it and nothing through the phone, only wired and bluetooth headsets work. disconnect from power, same problem on first try, then after that all ok.
Just wondering if it is an issue with the power or power block.
Just found out it's likely to be the connections on the plug. See this thread I found on the subject, http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-245857.html, and this one for the connections. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=Connectors.
I cut both loop wires that go from pin 2, to pins 5 & 18 (on mine, the only two that looped back) and everything worked fine after that.

Hi, this is my first post on this forum after going through it for days, and i think i can ask this question without being referred to a wiki or previous post related to my problem. Here goes:
So i just bought a (second hand) QTEK S200. Now, when the guy i bought it from demonstrated it worked flawlessly, but when i got home and reset the whole thing, i can't get bluetooth to work properly.
Let me just note that i've worked with plenty pda's before and have a pretty good (intermediate) knowledge about bluetooth (had a nokia 6680 before, bluetooth heaven btw).
So when i go to settings>connections>bluetooth and i turn bluetooth on (wich works, the blue leds blinks) i try to install a few bluetooth devices (none installed so far), so i click devices>new partnership. It starts to search for devices and show them with theire mac address, he doesn't want to show the device name like all bluetooth enabled device do.
But ok, nevermind that it could be somekind of feature, you never know. So ok i recognize the device i want to add (only two showing, the gps and my pc) and click on it to install it. It asks for the pass, and here i notice that the blue led isn't blinking anymore, so i enter the correct password for the gps (i've added him thousands of times on my ex-cellphone and my GF's cellphone, the code is 0000, like almost all gps mouse) but then it says that the password is incorrect. I try multiple times and nothing.
So ok, i notice the flashing blue led stopped so i re-enable the thing and try again, this multiple times again with the same result.
But then i tried tricking it to keep the blue led flashing, i was trying to make the pda connect to the internet through usb, and that way i got in the settings>connections>connections menu. When i press the 'Add a new modem connection' link you can select a modem that runs on bluetooth, so i got the idea to try and add the gps through this menu. This time it worked, the devices found showed the correct names, and i could add them OK.
So happy as i was i added the com ports and such, all worked ok. Then i started tomtom6, all good, i added the gps with no problems, but when i actually got to navigate, the bluetooth connection dropped constantly, always like: no gps device found for like 40 seconds, then it resumes the navigation and 5 seconds later the connection gets dropped again, so this goes on in a loop forever i guess (tried it about an hour).
Oh, and working with that Comm Manager program doesn't help, i don't think it even works properly, that program doesn't know if the bluetooth is running or not, it just remember the state the button was in last, or something, cause it almost always indicates that the bluetooth is running without it actually running, so i click on it, it 'shuts down' the bluetooth, and when i click on it again, the bluetooth then works for real.
So my conclusion was, i need to get a working firmware or whatever there is some software-related problem here. Because the hardware does actually work, maybe not for long, but it does when it does.
Also, i feell like the pda is running in slowmo, slow reaction times (i know it's not a uber fast device, but sometimes it's really ridiculous how long i have to wait for a program to boot up, or just pressing the start button)
So i checked out the wiki to see if i have a G3 or G4 chip, so won't ruin the s200 when flashing it.
But i just can't make out if i have the G3 or G4. I suppose i have the G3 because SPL shows: 2.09.0000 (all zero's, but 4 of them) but the IPL shows 2.09
everywhere i read about those digits they always compare it to *.*.0001 for the spl and ipl. But there is no 1 at the end! Does this 1 matter? Or is it just the 4 digits at the end?
So this is what my screen shows on the boot up:
IPL 2.09
SPL 2.09.0000
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.9.7.24
I think this is pretty old.
And another problem (this just doesn't end!) the SD card reader doesn't always show the storage card! I mean like, this is so basic, i don't understand why it doesn't, i've tried with multiple cards, on my pc it works but on the S200 it doesn't.
I hope someone can help me.
I'm also looking into unlock the CID first, and ofcourse it all depends on the type of chip i use, can somebody please confirm what i have?
Also, since all the roms have been removed, and there are soo many, wich is the right one for me? What are those AKU roms? Are they compatible with g3 chips? I don't really know the difference, how does this work?
/edit: ok found out what those aku roms (just updates?), but what then is the difference with the other roms available? And the sd card reader still doesn't work, it's been hours now, i've tried everything. Please someone, help!
Maybe i should shorten my first message:
Bluetooth drops the connection constantly, when i search to pair a device on the s200, when the search is over, the bluetooth shuts down (blue led stops flashing) and i can't add the devices it found, wich is logic, how can you make a connection when bluetooth is disabled? How do i keep bluetooth enabled no matter what? While still being able to shut it down manually.
Comm Manager doesn't work properly (bluetooth shows on when it's off and vice versa)
My SD card reader suddenly doesn't want to work, tried multiple cards, and simultaniously checking them on my computer card reader.
Sometimes slow respondtime.
I've tried everything multiple times, with multiple hard resets.
There's no software installed, everything been tested on a 'clean machine'.
Would upgrading the ROM (wich rom?) solve my problems? And how would i go about that? I've read the wiki but i'm none the wiser (half of the links don't work, i've read the post that everything's been taken down)
Why thank you for all the help. Thought i would at least get a "sorry but it seems your ... is defect you will have to replace it" or "here [link] you will find similar stories with a possible solution"
anyways, to update my post, i rma'd my s200 and it's been two months and two weeks since.. is that normal?
Okay,
I have a common problem for Shift owners, though lord knows why it happened to begin with, but SnapVue is gone and my audio will not work...which pretty much kills the main function of my Shift to me (traveling media player)....I NEED AUDIO UGH
Now, I have done several things in order to resolve my issue:
The first was a complete reformatting and reinstallation of Vista using the recovery partition....I did this whole proccess to no avail as the audio was still completely gone.
Then, I stumbled upon these forums. And read various fixes...
I ultimately decided to follow these instructions:
http://www.pocketables.net/2008/05/how-to-hard-res.html
The instructions involved ECshift.exe and mtty_0513_test.exe....yet, mid proccess after running the latter application, USB was not on option as a comm port.
I have tried to disconnect the battery, I HAVE TRIED everything...
does anyone have any ideas for me to fix my shift?
I really want my audio, my wifi, my 3g....gahhh
Please help me...
Thanks a million dollars and plus some in advanced!
This was the old story...since then I have fixed my wifi, and also for some reason ShiftControlCenter now works; however, I can still not use audio of any sort...
I have tried to flash varying bios, but I just get an error message...Something about a connection problem...
Any more ideas on what I can do...
I feel like I have done everything--I KNOW THIS IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM! UGH
Sound comes from snapvue. Make sure you have a proper snapvue rom flashed, like mine. Once setup, if you don't get sound, try reseting vista again and install latest drivers from htc. You should get sound.
Sorry could you link me to the proper rom?
I really want to do everything right, because I am screwing up somehowww
Try this one: it worked fine for me and this thread is full of help for localizing this version.

Firstly,i would like to apologise for making another thread with the same topic if there's any.I've searched the forums and most of the threads seem to be 'Dead'.
Last week,my phone had something strange going on.When it's at sleep mode,it automatically lights up.I picked it up and i see this thing called the 'Navi-Panel'.The screen was in landscape mode.The only thing that i can access was the phone.I managed to exit the Navi-Panel through the task manager but the problem's still there,my phone and my SMS are in landscape.Also,the phone calls that i make and received are always on loudspeaker mode.I also cannot connect the phone to the computer via the USB. I've tried various ways to fix the phone such as hard reset and rom flashing but it's still the same.I'm currently on the Stock rom version 1.66.707.1(76641) WWE. Can someone post a solution for my problems?
It happened to me twice when a tiny drop of water dropped on the micro usb slot, creating a temporary short circuit.
Make sure the slot is clean, (no conductor material inside).
It may be a small chance, but it is still a chance...
I have the same problem
My phone got wet last night due to rain. And the Navi panel kept coming up. So I set the option for Navi panel not to have an automatic launch. Thats fine now, but I got another problem to sort through. When ever I pick up a call the speaker is automatically turned ON. Its embarrassing now. I am just hoping its temporary..
If anyone has an idea on how to turn off the automatic speaker on call pick up, pls let me know.. Thanks in advance.
Whats more is: I cant connect to the Activesync now. The phone is charging well though.
I can probably live with that since I can connect through Blue Tooth. Hoever, if someone has any idea on how to turn off the "Auto external Speaker mode", pls let me know .. any registry key ... or any other means.
Thanks in advance.
This happened to me a few months back now on a wet evening, assuming the phone must have got wet through my pocket. Tried everything to fix it, left it to dry out for 24 hours near radiator with the battery out to no avail. But then flashed a new ROM and it started working. (Had to flash the same ROM three times till it started working. Every ROM since has been fine)
Hope this helps.
Thanks .. That gives me a hope. Could you pls tell me what ROM you flashed.. may be its something to do with that specific ROM..
Activesync died...
Thanks all of you who contributed to the forum. My HD2's activesync stopped working yesterday... and main challenge was to put shipped ROM and send it to the repair...
There is only one thing that I could not explain... When OS is up and running (regardless whether it is cooked or shipped) there is no active sync can be established (only charge function is working). However, when phone is in boot loader (RGB screen) I could connect it thru USB and install ROM from computer...
switch off quick sync on HD2

Thanks for trying to help XAH, but this was the first thing in my troubleshooting process. Usually it helps when you plug in the phone, computer acknowledges it, but pop in warning sign that USB device is not recognized. In my case there was no reaction (on multiple computers) - like nothing is plugged in... Will see what repairer says... I'll post an update as soon as I'll hear from them.
got my HD2 from repair centre
I've got my HD2 back from repair centre... and it works fine... most bizzar part is paper say that nothing was done...
a friend of me hat this problem some time ago. it disappeared after about 1 or 2 weeks iirc.
Same problem for me, but i've changed 5 diferent rom's and nothing...i will try the airdryer now
Hi Guys,
I've searched through the forums, and did not find any post relating to the problems that i am having on my HD2 for about 2 weeks now.
Problem number 1:
When im trying to make a phone call, it immediately switches to speaker phone. This is also occuring when im receiving one. I pick up and almost turn deaf from the person greeting me.
What i've tried:
- Flashing a new rom
- Flashing a new radio
- Flashing a new HSPL(might aswell try that one while im at it right?)
- Tried looking into the phone setting with no success
- Smashing it on my desk being very frustrated
Problem numer 2:
After flashing one of NRGZ wonderfull roms, with maxsense, my phone stopped syncing with my pc. The icon on the taskbar only shows it is being charged.
What i've tried:
- Turning on the "enable faster data synchronization"
- Tried putting the pc to usb connection on hard drive or modem as default
- Flashing a new rom & radio
- Putting the cable in all of my USB ports on the hope it might start working if i do this whilst looking angry at my HD2.
- Shaking my fist at it in anger
This problem also occurred on my Linux install which would normally recognize my HD2 when it is in HDD mode, and i would like to hear some suggestion on how to possibly fix this!
so i guess my phone is f0rked?
i can always get a desire or droid incredible :/
shameless bump, im really about to destroy my HTC and buy me a Desire or droid incredible

Problem 2:
1- Try to disable your antivirus and firewall software.
2- Else: Turn off the "enable faster data synchronization".
Cheers!
thanks for the tips, but i have an independent machine that acts as an antivirus for all my machines, and same goes for my firewall.
I also tried turning off the faster data sync but its still not seeing my pc's /laptops as machines. the phone reacts like i plug it in the contact, and not a pc :/
tried this on linux and windows
It sounds as though some settings are lingering through the ROM flashing. Maybe you should check out Task 29 in the Rom section to completely clear your system before a ROM flash.
same problem
hi..
i have the same problem..
the positive side is that i decrease my phonebill... i have no motivation to call someone.. its soooo frustrating... since november i have this phone... and since 2 month this problem makes me going crazy...
what could it be!?? is this a hardware defect?? or what...
i searched a few forums... nothing really helps...
there was a bugfix for the changing horizontal mode... hmm.. ok... thats great... but it does not fix the main problem...
1. The phone speakers...
2. usb connection...
today my hd2 turned himself on in my pocket... and shoot a photo... of course completely black... and published it on facebook... ...
later i saw it on facebook.. and there where comments:
what is that, why are you uploading this... etc.. -.-"
i really like to make a rom update.. but it wont work... this is driving me crazy... how could this be that htc has no solution for this ULTRA BUG????
since touch hd ... i started to like htc.. but now.. i dont know...
do anybody have a solution here in this forum for this problems ??
greetings for all of you...
Hi, it looks like I'm not alone then! My HD2 is from the first batch (November 2009).
I have the same issue with speaker on when calling (since a few days)... Also the screen automatically turns on in my pocket and so I've for example twitted "hjkhlhf" to the whole world...
So, what I have done!
1) execute task 29
2) go back to original SPL 1.42.000 (the one originally on my phone) with the HSPL2 tool on this forum
3) flash the latest official ROM from HTC website: WWE 1.66.405.2
Result: after a hard-reset, without installing ANYTHING!
1) Navipanel starts itself because he thinks I'm in car kit mode (but why?), even though the phone is not connected to anything (no usb cable, no bluetooth activated, heck even no wifi or data connection!)
2) after disabling Navipanel via the options of Navipanel, I can finally use my phone... well sort of: everytime I get out of Sense UI (making a call, reading an e-mail, etc.) the screen automatically switches to landscape mode!
3) more frustating, the speaker still switches on when making a call... So now when I make a call it's in landscape mode (even when the phone is vertical) and the speaker goes on...
4) usb does not connect anymore in Windows. It's still recognized when in bootloader mode though, so it's still possible to flash something else...
=> hard-resetting again and again leads to the same result...
What I've done? I've called HTC, they will pick-up my phone on Monday morning for repair... I will keep you updated!
Well you will never believe this: as soon as I have finished typing this message, I have made a phone call for my work. And guess what? The problem that has been bothering me day and night for a week is all of a sudden GONE!!!
I guess I'll cancel my repair pick-up then... But on the other hand it must have been some hardware malfunction, and who knows if it will not appear again?
puh...
there is a bugfix on htc... for the landscape problem... but this hole problem appears on my phone the 3. time.. so don t think this was the last time...
my hd2 was also from the first batch nov 2009.. may be this is it...
the first wave of hd2 have a malfunktion...
nice...
Hi guys i have really bad problem there is NO WAY to connect my HD2 to PC in windows mobile. I have 5 years experience in WM and have been using my phones to sync until NOW-it simply wont work anymore.
I tried switching computers, always shows just charge, not Mass Storage or ActiveStink, the pop-up doesn't show, only charger is showed in taskbar.
I tried flashing stock ROM&radio (1.66), switching extra 2 computers and all ports on theirs an mine,
I tried going to Android and start pc connection and it WORKED, flashing (obviously) also works. only in (any) wm rom apparently doesnt. what the hell?!?
Soo, has anyone else seen this? please help i cannot even get complete schedule for next week to sync on my phone and i need it..
please, any help really appreciated!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801018
you don't seem to get my point i have w7 and device cente and sync WORKED all the time. also USB works on android! and i can flash!
today it stopped working inside WM so i tried 4 different computers and stock rom and all their ports but phone still registers PC as charger an i don't see a popupp to select connection, it only charges. checked everything 1000 times and flash wipes everything off the phone so it should work fresh but it doesn't....
i'm guessing some kind of HW problem, but how can connection be sucsessful in android if that+s the case?!?!
i need some real help here...
okay i self bump myself as noone seems to take me seriously...
Today afrer recieving a call it put me on speaker right after the call started without even touching the screen! I also noticed that Navipanel opens itself randomly! that got me thinking....
...could it be that HD2 is recgnizing that it's being on Dock without being in? How's that done(hw switch or only software)? Is there a solution for that?
please guys.... and thanks bigtime for any additional info
dirty / faulty usb socket. give it a scrub with a dry toothbrush. read the threads "stuck in car kit mode".
not sure why it should work in android, but your symptoms (charge only, and calls go straight to speaker) are both seen by everyone with this problem.

thank you will do that!
i thought that android isn't coded to support car kit so it can bypass the "flaw" if it doesn't know what's the signal for
thx a bunch!
UPDATE:
Solved problem with scrubing on usb port with toothbrush to clean the dust away, but it still didn't work right away so i had to MOVE CONNECTED usb cable to all directions pretty hard. it started working while pushing on RIGHT. thanks to samsamuel!
