I got my JAM in trouble . My JAM cannot ring suddenly.... I never drop the device and splashed with water. when i play PDA functions , it cannot produce sound too... I can hear MP3 using phone jack but in the past i can hear through the speaker...Then when I left the JAM alone for around 30min, the ring came again....then when i play games, the sound disappeared again after around 5 mins.. Can you help? My JAM is still under warranty!!!
Make a hard reset and then play any media file to confirm that it is not a speaker problem,
Then install one application at a time and each time check whether the speaker is working or not. This will help in finding the exact application that might be causing the problem.

clueless
I cannot get any sound out of my MDA-compact...except for the phone.
So I do not get:
-ring-tones
-calender event sounds
-keyboard sound
But I am able to hear someone speak on the phone.
I set all sound on.
Disabled mute
Put all slides on maximum...checked several times if they stayed there.
It worked a week ago, or so.
Since then installed:
-wisbar
-expcal
-Tom-Tom
-Sprite
Tried setting back a backup...but problem persists.
There is 2 ways to mute the Magician if you have wisbar advance installed. Try to quit WA and disable mute. Depending on the skin you use it could be difficult to merge Magician and skin volume sliders.
If you are not success desinstall WA and try again. Then install it again and remember is better to use the volume hard keys instead WA Skin slider.
Good luck!
This may sound stupid, but I had a similar problem and found that something was Stuck in the headphone jack socket. Try it with the headphones. Also, have you installed the new bluetooth stock with A2DP support?
Works with headphones
Thanks admisi....it works with the headphones...but after pluggin in and out it still doesn't work without.
Might this be some registry setting?
Unlikely to be anything in the registry. If all sound working with headphones, then likely that inside headphone jack is stuck. I plugged and unplugged many times until eventually it freed up, only other thing is that the actual wiring to the main speaker has come away!
I do not think is is the headphone jack.
If someone phones me...it doesn't ring (it does through the headphone), but I am able to hear the other person through the normal speaker!
If it would be the headphone jack, I wouldn't be able to use the phone without the headphone.
It must be something with software, unless the phone-speaker function is hardwired different from the rest.
I had exactly the same problem with my magician. i could hear through the phone speaker and use as a phone fine, but the external loudspeaker did not work.
It was a hardware issue, and t-mobile UK simply replaced it for me
unfortunately, this is a well known problem with the magician and the easiest way is just to send it for repair.
Hopefully, your operator will do this free of charge. If you are still within warranty that is!
I hope not...this is already my 3th MDA-compact because of hardware issues.
I had loads of trouble with Tom-Tom because of having to reinstall 3 times already. Furthermore ActiveSync is ****...it doesn't let you install on an identical device with a different IMEI...so no restoring backups. That's why I purchased Sprite...which screwed my MMS database.
And the bluetooth headset seems to have a dead battery after 2 month's.
If I've gotten money for each hour of installation I would have had an additional month's income.
restoring to another device from activesync is simply a case of doing it as a guest the first time.
Cancel the partnership wizard, and then start the restore. it will ask you to select which partnership has the backup you wish to use and then it starts. that should work fine.
as for the MMS database, all backup programs seem to do that. I had it with activesync, Sprite and SPB, just stick with whichever you prefer, but don't restore the mail database when you do a restore. Otherwise you get the problems reported on the forum of having drafts and unread items which do not appear anywhere.
to be honest, if it works fine through the phone speaker, but nothing else, and there is no mute anywhere, it is most likely hardware. Easiest way to double check:
1 - back up using sprite/async/xbackup/whatever
2 - hard reset the device. when it reboots, do you get the bell noise when the 'tap here to set up your device' screen appears
if yes - is a software glitch
if no - your speaker is fecked, return for repair.
like was already said, the wiring for the speaker has come away. I remember reading somewhere that when someone took one of these apart, they found that the speaker is not actually soldered, but clipped to the main board, and the clip breaks easily. That swhat happened with mine anyway, t-mobile report said the speaker had broken off of the mainboard, and because it happened so often they replaced it without question.
I had a similar problem with mine. After using speakers plugged into the headphone socket I got no sound - but still got sound when phoning someone.
I found that there is a problem with the headphone socket so that after plugging something in then removing it, it still thinks it's plugged in. To solve it i started something with sound (I used a track playing in Media Player) then used my stylus to wiggle inside the headphone socket. Hey Presto the sound returned!
Go to Start, Settings, Sounds & Notifications. My systems sounds also disappeared last week when going from one profile to another on phonealarm, and my options was unticked for some unknown reason.
speakers
if none of thier ideas work, ITS A HARDFWARE PROBLEM, ur speakers are busted, the back speaker, happend to me, ended up bringing it to a service center, they replaced the speaker, after 3 hrs went back, gud thing i tested it there coz the speaker was working but it was God awfull, it was still busted, so i told the customer service rep, she rbought it to the technician, she daid come back the next day, i did, it was fixed, audio was flawless, she said they replaced the MAINNOARD, so as i f i got a new unit
Hey team,
I had the exact same problem today and fixed it by putting headphones in and pulling them out quickly once the music played!
Hope it helps!
Hey, just got my new wizard. Flashed it up with the slim edition of 6.1 which works very nicely, no stability problems so far, and very quick responsiveness..
anyway, I have 2 questions:
- When I first recieved it, I couldn't get past the calibration screen, it registered the screen tap on the first screen "tap here to begin" but after that I couldn't get it to pick up the tap in the center. I found I had to tap somewhere else in the screen to get it to work. I eventually found a spot "near" the center that registered enough (and did the 4 corners accurately) that it let me pass. When I did that the accuracy of the touch screen was horrible, BUT it did work all across the screen (in the notes program I could draw all over, the lines were not exactly where I drew, but they worked all over the screen). Later I learned that tapping the screen with a larger tip (my fingernail) worked perfectly even in the calibration program, but using the fine pointed stylus does not work... Very strange. Any suggestions about this? I see replacement touch screens on ebay for like $12, so would it make sense to pick one of these up?
- Second question, if I am using headphones (With an adapter to the smaller plug) to listen to MP3s. It pauses the music and rings through the headphones. That is great... I take the headphones off and answer the call. But I decided to see if I could answer with the headphones on, and hear the caller through the headphones, and speak back into the phone as normal (using the builtin mic, since my headphones are not a phone headset, just regular earbud headphones). When I answer the call I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me. However if I can hear myself through the headphones, so the device is still picking up the speaker, it simply isn't passing on the audio to the other end. Also if I unplug the headphones, they can hear me, then if I plug them back in mid call, they can still hear me now... So this leads me to believe it is a software issue that can be potentially fixed. Does anyone know of a hack/change/update/registry key that I can use to change this behavior so I can use my regular (higher quality) headphones to listen to music, and just speak into the phone normally when a call comes in (without taking off headphones)
Thanks!
ok just a quick one.
i got my touch today in the post and the first thing i did was flash onyx ultimate rom..all went well or so i thought.
its been fine till i started playing with settings. i tried to set a voice to rotate the screen then i can get full qwerty without having to press the rotate screen key.
since then the speaker stopped working. i no longer get any ring tones or anything from the external speaker at the back..the earpiece speaker is fine but the external rear one used for playing audio and ringtones and oud speaker stopped functioning.
i then decided to try 6.5 to see if that helped but still nothing from the speaker at the rear. it seems to be a perm setting. is there a button on the phone that mutes but doesnt show as muted..volumes are full but still no sound.
or is there a hard reset within onyx that will load all the defualts
for me hard reset was the solution
like there was no sound while playin some midi tones.
& no support for jpeg files
so i done a hard reset & everything again fine
So I noticed when I was typing a text a few minutes ago, my typing *clicks* were REALLY loud...... I finished and hit send. When I replied, my typing *clicks* were a whole lot softer (no, my finger wasn't over the speaker)
I turned it up and down a couple times and never got it to be as loud as it was before..... I thought I noticed this earlier too? I was playing music and it was really loud, then later on the same song it wasn't near as loud (out of the speaker). I hadn't changed anything in between either.
Has anyone else experienced or noticed this?
i had that sensation with spotify songs... i don't know why
This happened to me too, I was playing a game and volume turned up too much. Reduced it and even at 1/10 it was very loud.
Rebooted it once, didnt occurred again.
I have the same problem and also I have it with touch screen sounds!!
I play some songs on Spotify and then the touch screen sounds are back , but after a while dissapear again...
