THERE IS A STRANGE PROBLEM WITH MY XDA ATOM:
I cannot hear any sound during any call.
Even, the caller does not hear anything.
BUT WHEN SOMEBODY CALLS, THE PHONE RINGS CLEARLY, AND ALSO EARPHONES WORK.
There is no MUSIC from speakers.
I checked for software clashes, cold reboot, re-flash and couple of ROMs...
Even the Mobile Service Shop cannot repair.
What can be the problem?
Is it Speaker, CALL Speaker, Microphone, DRIVER, ..... What is the Problem?

Hi,
Following on from my phone app problems, my XDA Mini S has now stopped producing sound alltogether!
I believe the problem is that the phone thinks i have the headset plugged in, as i can hear sounds through the suppluied headphones but nothing when they are unplugged - not even during a call.
Please can someone make a suggestion? I have tried soft resetting.
:?:
EDIT: I should point out that i can hear the ringtone when the phone rings through the speaker but absolutely no other sounds - nothing in calls and nothing from the speakers - WMAs etc.
try unplugging and plugging it back in a few times (quite a few in one go)
the headphone "sensor" is usually hardware which picks up when something is physically plugged in .
not sure what else to try
if u have had it less then 30 days then get a replacement next day from o2.
or hard reset ? but backup first!
Hmm,
I just can't work this out. How come the ringtone plays through the speakers? If the phone thought the headset was plugged in would it not just play the ringer through the headset? Can anyone confirm this please?
Stupid phone :-(
Mine did the same, ringtone played OK but could only make calls with the headset plugged in. Thouhgt I was going to have to return it, but ried pushig the jack i alittle further before pulling it out and it all started working OK. I've not had the problme since.
hi guys , i have problem with sound as well , i just unblocked the simlock with lokiwiz02b , and suddenly there was no sound at all , i can call but there is no sound , i tried to play ringtones nothing works , headset is not solution as well , when i tried to run media player message - no hardware device to play sound or device not available , and everytime i open the volume control it's show that it's mutted and i can't scroll it up to make any sound all i can say it seems that system drivers for sound are ****ed up,
anybody have any idea how to solve it? i have still few days to return it but i played with this simlock so i'm afraid they can charge me extra for repair ,
Have you tried a hard reset?

My Charmer, has the opposite problem. My speaker went dead on my suddenly during a phone conversation on speaker phone mode. So, I can't hear any phone rings and stuff, but still able to make calls, with or without the ear phone.
Yes, confirm (for my charmer) that if you have your ear phone in, speaker won't give you any sound. So, don't think it is that earphone plug sensor thing problem.
yes i tried hard reset but everything still the same -no sound at all
No sound on earpiece, microphone ok
Well I tried the suggestions in the forum and still it didn't work. I then thought maybe there's dust and stuff in the workings, blew into the earpiece and it worked.
It's worth a try!
Hope this helps.
Hello to everybody.. I had the same problem for months and last week i gave my wizard to the assistance cause I feded up!
I solve the problem with 70 euros but now it-s better.
lately my universal is acting weird.
when this happens I can hear an incoming call ,but when i try to answer I do not hear speaker,and i am not hear.
along with this all other sounds are dead.only sound I hear is the incoming ring call,
is it a speaker problem,and if so why does the ring caller still sound?
problem with your mic, maybe die, speaker still work because it don't relate to mic
Hello everyone, my Hermes worked a looong time very fine but now i cant hear the normal "beep" when i adjust the volume. Also i hear no conversation when i phone somebody. Alarm sound is off too. I hardresetted it once but it didn't help. The weird thing is: I can hear the ringing sound when i get a phone call?!
It looks like the other person can't hear me either, thats a bit weird because i thought this isnt a speaker but a microphone problem... Two components crashed on one day? WTF? Need help
I have seen this problem with a different htc phone.
their may be a bit of dirt across the miniusb contacts making the phone think it is connected to a headset.
plugin a mini usb cable and waggle it round a bit then test calling someone hopefully that should cure it for you.
I have a very very similar problem with my Vario II. The sound is VERY intermittent. Sometimes it rings but when I pickup there is no sound either way, from the earpiece or mic, the other person cannot hear me. Most of the time the phone just vibrates (set to Ring and Vibrate) so I know there is a message or a call coming...not that I can answer the call. Tried soft resetting it and even changing the ROM, only works for about 5 minutes then the sound is gone again.
The device only works as a phone with a blue tooth headset, the rest of the time it is just a PDA....that vibrates.
Hi, I cannot hear any sound during an out going call(O2 Xda Atom). No ring back, no voice after connect, tried earphones - no luck, tried the switch on the earphone jack - no luck, checked for software clashes, cold reboot, re-flash and couple of ROMs... the other party during a call hears hissing noise. In coming call is fine, both can hear well.
The speakers and mic are good. I can play music, videos, ringtone.. no problem. Also tried audio recording, no problems - the mic is fine. Any clue what is going on? Plz help.

Basically you can flash back to original WM5.O to confirm if it is ROM problem. For your case, I strongly believe it is not a hardware problem
Thanks for the response Sono. But the phone was working fine with wm6, at least for an year. Now I've tried 6, 6.1 and 6.5. I dont have a WM5 ROM back up, will try to get one tomorrow.
Jole.

Tried flashing the original WM5 too, but no fix. I used to format file sysytem and install radio on my Tornado. Is there something similiar for Atom? Can I update GSM manually? Any advice?
No ring back, no voice after connect, tried earphones

Okay theres a number of things you can try to help diagnose it. Do this all on a clean install of WM6 or 6.5.. Preferably on a ROM that hasnt had any reported issues.
1. The outgoing call gives the receiver static.. correct? is it to any number or just specific numbers?
2. Do you have a bluetooth headset around that you can try? If so then pair it up and see if it does the job, that will prove that its a hardware problem.
3. Try a different dialer or the stock dialer.
Thanks Aegishua for the response, I flashed back to a wm6 ROM that was working fine for over an year. This is what I observed:
1. Calls to two GSM and one land-line gave the same results. The phone is silent, the other party hears a loud hissing and a high pitch tone, not so loud, almost like feed back noise. No change when I mute/unmute, switch on/off spkr phone. when I select 'hold' the noise is replaced with a hold music from the network. In-call recording captures my voice thru the mic.
2. I could not try a BT headset, hope to get one tomorrow.
3. At least four different dialers tried incl original wm5 dialer, wizard dialer- retouched, Yota etc. Each of them returned the same results.
Please advise.
Ok, I got a BT headset, but the result is same as before. That is, out going call no audio at all, in coming calls ok. Does it mean the GSM module is bad? Is there a solution, other than replacing the entire ckt board?
Thanks, Jole.
bump..have you solved this kabayan? same problem encountered

Mga kabayan, im not sure if this will work for you.
i assume youre using globe sim card and i experienced it before when i first flashed my atom life (with official rom) to a cooked 6.5. (talagang my issue kc ang atom life s globe kaya fix nila s official upgrade nila.)
so i upgrade it 1st with an official upgade rom from O2 before i flash it to a cooked 6.5. a long procedure but worthy. Try nyo lng din. hope it will help.
btw, after testing all latest rom... i am still using and preffered our kabayan chef bajok's 23004 release. not much in latest interface but it is stable and free from any bugs.

Hello,
I have an issue that i'm having when i call people with Viber on my Google Nexus 4. While using the phone speaker or the earpiece i hear the voice of the person i'm speaking with clearly without any audio buzzing but when i use the earphones, i'm hearing a background buzzing even before the connection is established with the person while it's still ringing. I also have a Bluetooth headset and it's working perfectly , this issue only appears when using the earphones . I've also tried different earphones without any success.
Does anybody have the same issue ?
Thank's
Can anyone try to reproduce this issue on his phone please, so i can know if it is a hardware problem and eventually send my Nexus 4 back to google for repairing.
Thank you.

Known issue. You probably buzz all the time. Search earpiece buzzing/crackling.

No it seems finally to be a proximity sensor problem because i was able to reproduce it with an application which turns off the screen even when not incall and the buzzing appeared while listening to music !!! It was this topic which made me "smell a rat" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129140&highlight=proximity
Then i decided to disable the proximity sensor since it will solve my problem and still i can use lock unlock during a call, so i tried the build.prop solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626611 without success
and then i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658474 without success too.
Any idea please to help me solve my problem ?
