I can play music from my phone.
I can use the speakerphone.
I can use a headset whilst on the phone.
I can't use my phone's regular speaker
I currently have to switch to speakerphone every time I answer phone, else I hear nothing. I have checked all volume settings, and even tried a hard reset... Nothing seems to alter the problem :s
Any thoughts or ideas?
I assume you mean that the phone speaker (ie. the one on the front with the little flashing LED) is the thing at fault here. If you are able to use your headset whilst on the phone, this largely rules out a software fault. Chances are that either that little speaker is fried or, if you're lucky, the contacts for it are loose - this is especially likely if you have dropped your Magician before.
Either way, you're going to have to open your Magician. This guide will give you instructions on how to, along with how to fix up your phone speaker's contacts:

If this doesn't work, then you might need to seek out a new speaker.
I recently put Black Majick on to my Hermes. From then it started exhibiting a strange problem.
Bascially no sounds are played. For example, there is no sound played on incoming calls, new sms or email messages, when dialing a number etc. I can use the phone as such (the speaker works during a call).
A Soft reset will get the sounds working again but after a while they stop. This is within a couple of hours. I'm yet to work out what is causing it.
I've tried rolling back to older versions of Black, including 3.01 which used to work just fine, but the problem persists.
I've hard reset and then not installed anything else. The only changes are to setup push email. But it still stuffs up after a while.
It's obviously not a hardware fault. If it is software I am at a loss as to what though as different firmware + hardresets should eliminate that. I've tried removing the SD card in case that was some how playing a role. The only thing I can think of is that there is something in EXTROM causing the issue? Doesn't make sense to me though.
Searching around the place has revealed that some people have similar issues but there doesn't seem to be a fix. I've started this new thread in the hope that someone that knows the answer will see it and assist.
Loud sounds have dropped away
Mine sounds like it might be hardware, as the phone only occasionally rings (when I test (ringer ) it just vibrates), I can hear phone calls. I'd like to know where to check software in case there's some switch that I've accidentally tweaked. I have dropped the phone once or twice but not clearly lost sounds immediately after.
It still plays A2DP Bluetooth stereo no problem (that's why I upgraded away from Orange's WM5)

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 !

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
The HTC P6500 model has a strange bug.
It turns down the sound automatically, but the indicators show that the sound is still on.
This happens under varied conditions and usage, at first I thought it had to do with bluetooth, but it is not isolated to when I'm using bluetooth anymore.
The software on the PDA is as follows (besides the preinstalled software):
- TomTom 6
- Afaria Client
HTC support simply told me to uninstall 3rd party software... And denies any knowledge of any problems at all. Any better suggestions?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi -- I've noticed this problem too, though it's only happened rarely. I think I'll see this happen once every month or so -- usually I'll catch it when listening to music or watching a video; the sound will just suddenly turn all the way down; the sound icon on the bar at the screen top will show sound to still be on, but if I click on it, both sliders will be at the bottom. A soft reset always takes care of it. And the problem comes up rarely enough that I've never bothered looking for a solution.

I had same problem and fixed after upgrading with latest ROM release from HTC
Hey guys, so I've been having a horrible issue with this phone and I can't for the love of god find the reason behind it.
Sometimes my earpiece just doesn't work, be it for calls or anything else. In fact, if I press the play button on a whatsapp voice note and put the phone to my ear even though it turns the screen off it actually pauses the audio, which may already be an indicative that the problem isn't hardware related, as it would just keep playing with no sound coming out if the problem was the actual speaker. This problem comes and goes (but it's there 80% of the time) and when the earpiece works sound is loud and clear. When I reset the phone, it worked all the time, but as soon as I install my apps and all, problem comes back. I really need help to find out what's causing it... Is there a way for me to know if a specific process from some app is doing it? Has anyone had a similar problem??? My phone simply can't be used as a phone right now =(
If u r sure it is software related reflash the software via Odin
