Phone won't properly switch from vibrate to sound

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.

Hmm... I tried putting them in, like, 4 places... but none of them seemed to be that location. I'm doing it now and I'll test tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.... i hope it works.

Don't know what to tell you then. Make sure you're not running any 3rd party software.

Can't pick up the phone! Anyone else?

Well, thats it, I actually can't pick up my phone when I get a call. I can push the green pick up button as many times as I want, but it wont respond, and I end up having to call people back. Anyone else with this issue? (phone info in sig)

I am only going to take a guess and say that you have a lot of programs that run in the background.
Maybe try not using auto rotate.

I agree with Neobbs although when I first read the subject, I thought maybe you needed to work out more....

Same problem here. I can have the phone in my hands looking at it straight up when the phone rings and the phone goes black for about 5 seconds (or about 2 rings) and then the caller id comes up and I start hitting the call/talk button to answer. It goes to VM eventually and me hitting the green button ends up bringing up the recent call list. Auto rotate is disabled, but I do have weatherbug, open home, caller lookup and IM running in the background. Oh... and I have the transistions/animations enabled. That's all i can think of. I'll try removing the caller lookup app to see if it eliminates the problem.

hi,im running rc33 stock rom on bronze tmo g1 in singapore..it happened many a times,even on a cold boot up..wonder what is the actual problem here,mine is not rooted at all..

he means.. why would you not root your G1???
I think it's a good, fair and valid question.

Do you have installed a customer ring tone ? if yes, choose original ring tone and try again.

I had the same problem when I started using my phone. I dunno what changed but the prob. has disappeared or I got used to hold the pickup button down for a bit longer automatically. I got the feeling that this helped the issue.
My phone is RC33 not rooted... and to answer you question: I've tried but I'm still fighting with my XP to accept the USB driver.

Guess again!

mine does the same randomly. Straight after a factory reset.
nothing installed, and my G1 is not rooted (yet).

has anyone found a solution for this problem?
Using RC33 with weatherbug running in the background, but it occurs with it installed and without it installed
I swear, the G1 must be the worst phone ive ever used
can't wait for the touch pro 2 now...
google can't release polished software if their lives depended on it.. selling a beta phone is just bs

Yep, must be terrible if about 4 or 5 people have this problem out of the thousands who have bought it....
I've never had any of these problems, but im guessing they're (probably) firmware related.

most probably just call back and arent bothered to find out how to fix it on xda
anyways, when you say firmware related, what did you mean?
I installed JF 1.42, and before that, his earlier versions, and way before that my phone started out with RC18, which I then rooted. Would it be linked to that? I've wiped my phone like a dozen times, but the problem is reoccurring perhaps once or twice a day, out of about 30 phone calls a day
additionally, although this may be linked to t-mobiles ****ty service, have you guys noticed a large increase in dropped calls?
I use my phone in both austin tx and houston, and in both locations, about every 10 calls is dropped, I dont know if its just the horrible service they have, or when I move from a location with 3g to edge.
With the new radio, the dropped calls have reduced in number, but still occur randomly
Also, one more thing, and a little off topic, but this has been bothering me,
Is there anyone to get a SMS application that allows me to type using a numpad or something similar on the screen? or at least, have spell correct, cause chompsms' keyboard is way too small to use one handed and still have legible messages, unlike the iphone where the errors would be auto corrected

I'm in austin, tx too and I also get the black screen of death almost every time I get an incomming call so maybe it is a location based thing? My g1 is rooted and I have over 70 apps installed and I'm not about to uninstall them 1 by 1 to see which one could be causing it. In the past, rings extended was said to be the one causing the problem but I don't have that installed.
Also, there have been enough requests for t9 and auto correct with chomp, I'm sure it will be in the upcomming updates

Im running Haykuro now and haven't had a single incident so far. Also, I have 73 (yes, seventy-three) MB of free system memory as I moved pretty much EVERYTHING to the SD card. In return, my phone is unable to boot without my SD card... which is a bit strange.

Problem with Fresh2.0d

Hey guys, today I basically re-did the fresh 2.0d rom (Freshly installed), uninstalling some apk from it. Mostly the HTC widgets... I installed Launcher.apk to have a droid like dock.
I am having an issue though, when ever i try and send an mms, I get an error which says "Generic network error". Is the Mms apk not fully supported in this rom?

You are on Sprint, correct? Mms.apk (the one included in fresh) is fully working, no issues at all. Assuming you didn't replace it with something else then it should be fine.
Try updating your profile and prl a couple of times (do profile, then prl, then profile, then prl) and see if it works itself out.

Thanks Flipz, I appreciate the feed back, yes I'm on sprint. Using chompSMS, which to my understanding uses Mms.apk as it's middle man.
Anyways i'll update and get back to you on it. And no i didn't replace it.
EDIT: Also tested it using the default messaging app.

Sorry to double post but apparently that did nothing, I'm beginning to think I should factory reset it.

You could try flashing fresh on top of itself first without a wipe to see if that helps. If not then go ahead and try doing a data wipe. There haven't been any data issues reported and it's been out for quite some time.

Ok it's fixed, I did the profile and pri update a last time just to be sure and it worked.
Ok, now that one bug is down, here is another. When I end a call at times it doesnt make the "BEEP" notifying me the call has ended, (-usually- when i use the end call button on the touch screen) When the beep doesn't sound i instantly know the bug has appeared since I've had it so many times. This bug wont allow me to dial anyone out, or does it? I'm not sure. Why? Because no sound comes out of my speakers. At all, even the tones for adjusting volume.

That's actually a known bug with this leak and affects all roms based on it. It's some type of conflict with HTC music. You can check here for a possible fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657244

Oh great thanks for the help again, In the future i will keep in mind to search the forums better.

I've also heard theories that it's related to contacts sync happening. Honestly I've never once had it happen to me, but a lot of people have.

(Fix) Audio loss soon

by request ill make an update.zip for audio loss for eris users.
im leaving for nashville tonight so i wont be doing any work this weekend.
so i need responses on this thread on what roms DO NOT cause audio loss.
please discuss and come to an agreement on the best rom for me to pull the kernel.
mods please do not move this as i will be updating soon with fix.

What is the fix for? I know on my phone sometimes I can't hear anything when making a call.
I run my own Rom and kernel on my phone so can you just supply the fixed files or tell what they are and I will pull from the zip

what audio loss?, I've tried every rom and havn't had this problem yet.. are you talking about the dreaded audio bug? I am famililar with that as im on a refurb now from that. pre root tho.

If you mean that ringtones go silent with no warning then ZenEXP-Eris Espresso ~Rev7~ does have the issue, EE 3.0 does not so far.

I had that problem big time with Ivan's Official but with JCase's Plain Jane I havent had the problem at all.

I have that issue with the cyanogen roms and ic3rom. But as far as I've noticed the zenEXP and damageR roms do not have this issue. At least for me anyway.
I'd really like to run cyanogenELB, but the loss of audio is a deal breaker.

I'm experiencing audio loss, as far as loss of ringtone, on EE 3.0 for the last 2 days. Totally silent for every call coming in. I have rebooted, gone to a backup, not sure whats going on.

When i have had the issue before, going into to settings and resetting the rigntone worked. It would be set on default ringtone, not what I had assigned. I put it back to what i wanted and it would ring again. same thing with notifications

Can't Wait
I am using Ivans official and have had this problem a couple of times. When I place a call I hear nothing. The call goes thru on the other end but on mine its like the speaker just refuses to work. I have been wiping dalvik to temp fix the problem. Very annoying. Can't wait for the fix. Thanks in advance.

Using the rooted version of leak3 and also have the same problem with loss of audio. Reboot only way to resolve it.

Having the audio loss (go to make a call every once in a while and the phone is silent and I have to reboot) on Evil Eris 2.0.1. Also, the alarm sometimes does not go off.

I know you say DO NOT CAUSE AUDIO LOSS, but it seems like a lot of people are letting you know about their audio loss.
Sorry, but I figure I will add to this since others are speaking about Evil Eris.
For me, I get the silent bug (meaning all audio stops working: email notification, text, volume, music, ringtone selector, alarm tone--<when SB happens and I am trying to select a ringtone or alarm tone I get a FC for HTC sound something another>>--)
I have had this with EE 2.0, 2.0.1, and 3.0. My wife however is still on 2.0.1 and has never had the silent bug issue.
Also, for me, I do not get the shutter sound in camera, meaning when you take a picture it makes that camera sound noise. This happens without the silent bug, just don't get sound.
On AF http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/99973-found-what-causes-silence-lag.html this may or may not help you.
This seems to happen to me about every 24-26 hours.
And most importantly, THANK YOU for looking into this and trying to fix it!!!!!!!
edit: I wanted to clear up, I love Evil Eris! I mean no disrespect to this fantastic ROM or to Frame!!!

I'm have the same problem using Ivans official. Not sure but i think the problem starts when I'm using data and then receive a call. When I answer I hear nothing and when I try to call back I hear nothing. I just reboot to fix.

Just wanted to give an update.
I flashed Sushi last night http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701544 and am still having the silent bug making me a strong believer that I have a hardware issue.
Somewhere I read someone is thinking it has to do with the proxy sensor. Today I had silence twice, that's 2 times in just a few hours, this has never happened before. Also, each time today happened within an hour of using the camera (and I still have no shutter sound with this ROM).
I failed to mention last night that I am on an old Radio 2.40.00.01.22
I am sorry if I sound like a post whore but I just want to give accurate observations.

Camera
Seems that every time I use the camera or open the camera to browse pics it seems to somehow trigger this problem. The only time I've ever had this problem was after using the camera.

Yes, I am now thinking it has something to do with the camera. I just got the silent bug again, 3rd time today, this was after I used the camera this evening to test and see if the silent bug would happen. This time it took 90 minutes when before it seemed to happen within an hour.

I had identified the bug a while back, but no one took any interest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668693
I'm glad to see that more people are becoming aware of it. Hope someone finds a fix soon. The only ROM that I'm aware of that isn't having this issue is the original 1.5.

just asking
im not sure what this trouble everyone is having but im not having any problems besides mms needing the fix but other wize no other issues sound included

Well I assure you this issue is very real and very annoying. I wish I were lucky enough to not have to deal with it, but thats not the case. Can't wait till I don't have to deal with it anymore.

LTE fix? Stops working after a few minutes - need to reset phone

Hello - my issue is this:
Data/LTE fix? Stops working after a few minutes - need to reset phone
N910F - tried stock, and various roms - same issue (actually i think on stock it worked best but im unsure now)
cant find a fix anywhere - any good souls out there who know what to do?
your time is much appreciated.

Does only the LTE connection stop working (so it goes down to H+ for example) or your mobile data connection in general?

Good Question.
No it's still up and the connection shows that only "upload" up arrow is lighting up, but the down arrow stops lighting up.

It may sound super stupid, but can you access the internet or do any other internet related applications work? I assume it doesn't, otherwise you wouldn't have started this thread, but I just want to ensure.
Because at the moment, it sounds like a bug with the "connection display" to me.

I WISH it was just that
unfortunately, all internet applications stop working - i contacted the telephone company and they agreed to reset the connection and that I should turn off and turn on my phone in about 15 minutes - see how it is then. Will post my findings later - there are many threads on this topic on google - but I felt better posting here on XDA. Appreciate the help in diagnosing.

You're welcome!
Just post your results later if possible.
Did you modify your device before the problem accured? Maybe it's the fault of root or a custom ROM you are using?

still nothing - going to use stock rom and test the findings. I dont want to sell the phone but I feel I have to now...

According to your last post, I assume you're using a custom ROM? If yes, got back to stock ROM and test it again, just as you said. I guess your custom ROM (if you're using one) is the problem.

not fixed - going to take to a service shop

Hmm, that's a huge mess. Do you still have warranty? (Although I guess it's voided by playing around with custom ROMs...)
And do things like normal calls work?
