I have a Titan through Sprint and have been hearing a high pitched buzzing sound from the back of my phone once in a while. when it starts it wont stop until I soft reset. I have also heard a crackling noise like static. It isnt very loud, but so very annoying! Any ideas? Think I am going to update to the latest radio and dcd rom tonight, now I am running dcd 3.2.0 with 3.35.40 radio. I also have not been able to get my computer to recognize the device through activesync since updating, tried troubleshooting with different pcs, os, reinstalling and hard resetting with nothing. Any ideas?
I have also had the same problem. I some times get the buzzing sound, if not, there's a popping sound that takes place when ever a sound event is supposed to be playing when I have my phone on silent/ vibrate only. I have been dealing with it for a while now and ROM updates or radio updates haven't helped me either. I was thinking it was my phone that was going bad or something, I didn't know someone else had the same issue as well... Weird....

DCD 3.2.6/ radio 3.42.50/ SPL-2.47 Nochem. I was thinking it might be SPB Shell... Do you have any SPB applications?

Okay, let me know. I also haven't heard it in a while, so IDK... It does this when the phones on vibrate/ silent, so I'll leave it like that and see if it makes a popping sound.
Personal take: This seems to me to occur due to custom ROMs, since I have personally NEVER had this issue with a stock ROM, and sometimes have experienced this with custom ROMs from both DCD and NO2.
Had the problem with the original stock XV6800 rom from verizon, been dealing with it ever since.
Well, the popping sounds have come back...
It only happened twice to mine. When I turn off Data it goes away, when I bring it back on, it doesnt come back..

at&t 8525 owner, here.
So, I've had this issue for a little while now after I flashed Shadow TE ROM. But it's continued since then... so here's the issue:
I go into work and turn the phone onto vibrate. After I leave work, I switch back to sound on (ring & vibrate). Even though the icon shows the sound is back on, it's not. It only vibrates. It acts as if the speaker is still asleep.
So for awhile I'd have to reset my phone every day to get it working again until I realized I can go into sound settings / notifications and I find that the phone's jumped back to the default ringtone and more than that, I have to literally push PLAY to test the sound in order for the speaker to "wake up" if you will. Then the phone's fine until the next day.
Ok so back to present:
I got fed up and thought it was Shadow TE. So I flashed CRC's v9.2 ROM. Still had the same speaker issue! I was advised to flash a shipped rom.... which I did.... and flashed CRC's v11. Issue still remains.
I've searched the board and could only find one other person make mention of this a couple years ago and no one ever addressed it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate it greatly.
Same problem here with a custom Titan ROM. Installed the same software as every other ROM that I've used so the problem must be in the ROM somewhere.

Could be... but why does no one else seem to have this issue? Wouldn't there be tons of people replying here?
I did find that instead of switching it to vibe when I arrive at work, I switch it to silent... and SOMETIMES when I go back to Sound it works ok for a few hours but then it goes back to silent without warning so I miss calls and texts a lot. Might as well force the sound back on through Notifications Menu anyway. I'm SO getting away from Windows Mobile ASAP.
As soon as the Blackberry Bold is released here in the US, I'm buying it.... unless something about it disappoints me, in which case I'll settle for the iPhone 3G. The Bold can't come soon enough.
Who would like to claim this Hermes when I'm through with it? What are you willing to pay?
Try making sure that your ringers are in the windows\rings folder. Saw it somewhere else and it seems to be working.

Don't know what to tell you then. Make sure you're not running any 3rd party software.
anybody had this problem?? it seems to happen every call. i didnt realise till today when my wife called and i could hear her whistling while waiting for me to answer.
anyone tell me how to remedy this?? i do not like it.

wtf?
so... not only is your ringtone playing, but the speaker is also broadcasting your wife whistling? this not only seems improbable, but damn near impossible.
what ROM are you running?
EDIT: and what radio version are you running (listed beside the "R" when you first boot your phone)
Hahaha whoa, imagine if you didnt want to talk with her. Sorry but ya what Craigor said, and what company are you with?
That's happened on one occasion for me. I could hear the other person talking to someone else, then I answered.
The only problem in my case was that it signaled something was very unhappy in the phone. Programs took ages to launch and the data connection died. Had to hard reset the phone to get back to normal. No more voices during rings though.
ya, the tone plays and i can hear whoever is calling.(if theyre talking, or making any noise)
the radio is 3.42.30
and its nfsfan's v14 6.5 rom if that matters.
my company is verizon.
also, vibrate never works while in vibrate mode for texts, calls, or anything.
also if i have to reflash again, can i loose my akey again?
thanks

Man, that's so weird.
I dunno about losing your akey. You shouldn't have to reflash, I would just do a PIMBackup (included in NFSFAN's ROM) to backup your contacts/texts/etc and do a hard reset. If that fails, then maybe reflash, or ask NFSFAN about it.
Anyone have any other ideas?
ya, i may have to, but last time i restored a back-up, the last 5 texts i sent to anyone all got resent at 2am. people were not pleased!
but that was restoring from a backup on my old 6700, so maybe it won't happen.
thanks
Dont worry the same thing happens to me, I can hear some people talk while the phone is ringing......crazy huh

Well i can tell you off the bat that the only radio that has worked for me without any problems is the stock verizon 3.37.78. Try flashing to that, as far as getting a new akey you might have to, but its not that difficult. i just call verizon, give them my info, tell them i cant make calls, they fix it. And your Rom is fine, i'm actually using NFSFAN's v14 rom myself. And for the PIM Backup, my advice is to not backup your texts, i've heard people have had problems with that in 6.5, i only back up my call logs, contacts, and appointments...

This has happened to me a few times both with my Touch and also when I had my Titan. I determined that it was not ROM specific or radio specific. I have cricket so I don't think it's carrier specific. My only thoughts are a bluetooth issue, I use a LG bluetooth and that is the only time it happens to me.
when i was running the stock sprint rom mine would do it also. when i answerd the phone i would make a comment about what they were talking about. it freaked a few people out an they thought i was watching them. i thought it was kinda funny
This happens to me on my Sprint Touch routinely. It happened when my Touch was new out of the box and is happening with my 3 month old replacement. I've gotten used to it.
Happens to me all the time... kind of cool.
Seems to be a WinMo thing. I've had it happen a lot with my Sprint Touch and Touch Pro so far. Haven't had my Touch Pro 2 long enough to hear it happen with it.
It happens to me and I hate it. Happens on my old touch, my wifes touch and not my touch pro2. I have been working with sprint and they can not seem to fix the problem. it is annoying when my sister calls with her kids yelling in the background and when playing through the speaker phone is crazy loud.
id love to be able to get my fone to do this
I have not experienced the problem in a long time. I changed dialers and made some registry edits for caller ID to announce through the bluetooth. Since then it has not happened.
my opinion and conclusion:
The problem is with Microsoft and HTC. It could be a timebomb planted into the phone to cause problems after a certain time to promote purchasing a newer model. Who knows!
I think it has to do with the dialer or blue tooth.

I just found this thread on google looking for an answer to this "issue." I guess I'm just glad that it's happening to other people, because the first time it happened it freaked me out.
I'm on a Sprint Evo - Android "Froyo" operating system. Seems to happen (the only time I've noticed it, anyway) only when one family calls me. What I mean by that is that I have friends that have a family plan, and whenever one of that "family" of phones calls me I can hear them talking while the phone rings. So strange..
Anyone had this yet? Basically after flashing EVERY version of Damages 2.1 roms and Flipz 2.0d, I seem to have this odd issue where I loose all sound input and output. I noticed first when I was using Flipz, but a wipe and flash of DC 2.05 did the same thing. Weirdest part is, that it's fine for a while after a reboot, then suddenly happens and won't work until another reboot. My only thought is for some sort of software conflict or something, but right now my Hero is basically unusable as a phone since noone can hear me and I can't hear them.
Thoughts? Lil Help?

I have the exact same issue. Very strange and rare. So the occasional reboot fixes it but annoying at times.

I have come across the same today on the 2.05 revision. It started this afternoon, since I have had to reboot 5 times. The latest was only about an hour or so apart. When I make calls, I do not hear any sound, no ring tone, not the other person. Also adjusting the ring volume with the volume keys does not make any sounds. Even on my bluetooth headset I do not get any sound. No rings on incoming calls, no speaker phone ... absolutely nothing. This has become a huge issue an I'm going back to my 1.5 image at this point.
Actually, reading through threads about both ROMS, I'd say there are quite a few people starting to encounter this problem...has anyone with this issue gone back to 1.5 to see if it goes away then?
S
just a note, the people on the other end when making a call can't hear anything either but the call does go through. i had to use the g/f BB to call and my buddy thought it was his phone. I'm so mad because I thought this was a done deal but looks like I gotta go back to 1.5
+1 same issue on Fresh 2.0d
When it happened it affected incoming and outgoing calls, earpiece, speakerphone, microphone -- the works. Person on other end could not hear anything either. Fixed with reboot.
me and my coworker both have this issue with our heroes, he couldn't stand it and went back to fresh 1.1 and it went away
I still get the issue once a day, full reboot solves the issue.
I cant seem to pinpoint when it happens, it just happens.
it started with the first fresh 2.0 and then continued with every 2.1 i have tried
i couldn't find a post in this forum relating to a fix for this, unless someone can prove me me wrong and i hope someone does
+1 same issue on Fresh 2.0d and DCv1
Same as others, a reboot will fix it but by that point you just missed a call.
Or if the sound goes out you might miss a few calls from not being able to hear the phone ring.
yes it is a very large issue. im about to run some tests and i will find out what causes it. hopefully i will have a solution tonight for everyone but its going to be hard.
also the issue effects all sound on the phone and pegs the cpu pretty bad. you cant adjust sound lvls or hear anything from either speaker at all.
im afraid the problem will lie in the boot.img with a driver for sound. because dc2.0r2 did have this issue and also has an incomplete boot.img we may have to deal with no trackball. anyways ill report back asap

Of course it is,its the fix(hopefully) for it
I want to know when will the sound problem be fixed completely? im currently using fresh 1.5 because all of the 2.1 have problems with the sound.. when someone calls i cant hear them and they cant hear me! i cant be resetting my phone everytime this happens. the fix that they have dont work also it might prevent it from happening so often but all my calls are important... does any one know when this will be fixed fully or why is this happening? how to prevent it ? mayb its the cdma settings? Thanks alot
The audio problem for the effected phones will be fixed when official 2.1 comes out.
i found whats causing it.... so who has a nice rom with the older kernel before .29 .. wats the kernel ? lol
The issue is caused by audio drivers in the kernel not resetting. we do not have the source for .29 kernel so there is no fix. we dont know why this effects some people and not others. Since the audio drivers do not reset it does not allow anything to read them. so it continues resetting and resetting and this causes the cpu to be pegged by the constant retry and retry.
Any 1.5 or overclocked 2.1 Rom
The audiofix posted by avalaunch worked briliantly for me. I have not had the issue once since he posted his fix about two weeks ago.
Also just so you know, zens my touch Rom did not have the audio issues for me. Just be sure to reboot after the first boot to completely get everything working.
which fix the audiofx or audiorc?? or u on the newest one for testers? i hate the my touch roms omg lol whats the older kernel version
wait another thing could it be because we didnt update the radio ?? or u guys doubt that 1?
I have had the audio issue with every ROM i had used until i flashed the Dachdroid 2. Ever since i have not had any kind of issues with phone freezing or caller not hearing me when i answer. Its very strange, but i wanted to post to see if any of the Devs can find out the differences between whats in this ROM and all the othersthat would make it work. Again i have had audio issues with all except this one.
What is this Audio problem?
I've run ROMs with both the .29 and hacked up .27 kernels.
Is this a bluetooth audio problem? Or handset audio?
The problem occurs randomly, for me at least. It's an issue I've had as others have that no audio at all comes through after an unknown time. I notice mine is triggered when I get off the phone with someone, I get 'call lost' and then all my audio is gone and have to reboot to get audio back. It affects BT and handset for me.
Iv never had the problem and iv changed my radio quite a few times. I think im on my 4th radio.
Maybe later at night you could flash a 2.1 rom, change to a newer radio and give it a few test to see if it works.
Flipz has alot of radios and I think the stock one on his site.
(IF anyone trys flashing a radio this is really the only way you can brick your phone. DO not flash any radio unless it says CDMA htc hero. All of them are on flipzmode website. You cant go wrong if you get them from him.)
the issue will hopefully be fixed when they release 2.1 officially. and im still looking into the issue a little at a time. 99% of people reported that one of the two updates put together fix it.
the only other cause could be a hawrdware issue. like the moved one resistor on the board and this causes something in the kernel to restart drivers. idk that is a very very very simple thought. but anyways like i said hopefully it get fixed!
Dont know if this is related but its absolutely killing me
Just today the headset icon popped on and wont go away. I cant hear anything when using the phone because its stuck in this mode. I plug in headphones and the voice dialer starts. I can hear through the headphones, but taking them out does nothing.
Anyone have any info on this or if there is anything I can do?
yea thats y im on fresh 1.5 i hate the 2.1 simply because of the audio problem coming from the headset !!! andn darch droid2? does everything work correctly like camera ect ... i hope its not that dam mytouch theme that 1 sucks ill try tonight

yeah...Ive come to the conclusion that 2.1 is just not going to work for me...went back to fresh 1.1 and everything is good. Its funny though, Ive been on 2.1 since all of the work was done and never had a problem until now. Ive been on damn near every 2.1 rom and didnt have an issue. Now all of the sudden the handset icon shows up and I cant hear anything unless I put in headphones. Tried all of the audio fixes and searched the entire net looking for a resolution. Hopefully the official comes soon. I am definitely going to miss 2.1.

This audio loss issue is reason number one why all of the people who say "Who cares when HTC and Sprint release 2.1? We already have it!" are just total idiots.
I have a CDMA Hero and it's rooted and running aospcm7 gingerbread rom. Before flashing a rom I always wipe data, cache, etc and they always start up fine. Yesterday I was listening to music and it just stopped making noise. Yes, I know you should adjust the min/max cpu speed so it doesn't start skipping. But this time it just stopped making noise completely. Music doesn't play, no volume from videos, ringtones, etc. Don't know if it is a system issue or hardware. Everything else works fine except for that, even the dial tones work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what the problem could be?
Thanks

Yup, switched to two different roms. But after much research on hero problems, it seems a blown speaker is common? If that is just the deal I'll just bring it to the sprint store to replace. And should I flash back to a stock rom?

Yes it is fairly common, and most Sprint repair centers have the part in stock. Takes 15 minutes to replace, and in my case, they did not even have to do a factory reset (lol, not that I cared, as there was no data to wipe!) I RUU'd just before I drove to Sprint and had my laptop with adb in the truck and a nandroid on my sdcard. However, for me, sound did not just stop abruptly, it just rapidly degraded in quality.
In my opinion, rerooting and restoring a nandroid takes just minutes, and eliminates any chance of Sprint denying you service. Also, running the RUU will confirm that the issue is hardware related, if you have any doubt. That's your call though, most people say that Sprint did not care that they were rooted.

When you say that the dial tone works, are you saying with the speaker on the back? Like speaker phone? And does music work with headphones? It is quite common for the speaker in the back to blow. I've heard that since hardware and completely not related to softwate, you don't need to go back to stock rom. Strongly suggest you do though. They may make a note that you have voided your warranty. And that is no bueno.

Thanks for the help and info guys. It was weird because my nephew was listening to music on my phone with headphones, good thing that wasn't broken too, but then it started to play through the speaker for a bit. So I am guessing it is just a hardware problem. And never mind about the dial tones, guess the speaker was fuzzing in and out. But I will go into the Sprint store and let you all know how it goes.
Thanks again
Took it into a Sprint store earlier and everything is fine and working. Didn't have time to flash to a stock rom, but it didn't seem like they minded. They just replaced the speaker and called it to see if it worked. Thanks for the advice guys
