Hi,
From some strange reason I've suddenly got no sound from the earpiece (speaker is ok). Sure it was working ok yesterday
I really hope this isnt a hardware fault. I have only installed a few extras like Task Mangager, Net Framework 3.5... I wouldn't think that this would cause the problem??
Havn't done a hard reset yet, as its all set up... but might that help?
Am about to cry, so any help would be greater appreciated.
Thanks

If it's not a hardware fault, a hard-reset should help for sure.
Maybe thats the easiest option you have. Becuase then, you can set up every application you want to use step-by-step and check for earpiece-funtionality after every setup.
This way you'll be able to detect the "bad" application which silences your earpiece.
Well, if it's a hardware fault you'll know right after the setup-wizard
I'm now trying to do a hard reset to resolve the problem.... but that dosn't seem to work!
Held Vol UP & Down buttons down (as best as I can) and tapped on the power button.... nothing. How long should you wait...?
Do you think 02 would have removed this reset procedure in their ROM?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Did a hard reset by leaving the phone on, pressing the vol up& down and then putting a paper clip on the reset.
I REALLY want to cry as this did not fix the problem. Been onto O2 and it has to go back... really dont have a clue how long the repair/replacment process will take.
I dont think there is anything else I can do. Was working fine yesterday.
But if anyone knows better then would love to hear from you.

Hi i cant seem to enable the vireless netowrk on my i-mate jasjar. It worked in the beginning but now it just blinks realy fast when i press the button to enable it.
The only thing i can think of is that i installed the extended rom thing from buzz...it was that cab file i found in the comments on his site.
pls can anybody help me with this?
Please help me ppl. I tryed reverting the settings for the extended rom and that did not help eather.
Please i really need som help here guys
I had my wifi stop working at one point for unknown reasons. Soft resetting didn't fix the problem. It did start working again after a hard reset. It was not doing any fast blink like you describe, so it may be that whatever your problem is has no relation to whatever my problem was. I don't know if you have tried hard reset, but in any event I'm hoping one of the wizards here will have better advice for you.
Hehe by fast blinking i mean when i press the "wifi" button in the wireless manager. It just blinks breafly to indicate that i pressed it..but it does not turn blue like its suposed to and it does not turn wifi on like its suposed to.
Had hoped i wouldnt have to do a hard reset as i have my device set up just perfectly now
So if anybody has some tips here ill try anything.
btw what is sddeamon? i had sevreral of thouse in the notification que and i remoced all but one. could this be the problem?
OK, now I know what you mean, and unfortunately my problem was different. It would presumably turn on (button would change color) but not connect with anything, including access point that was no problem before. And sorry again since I don't know what that sddaemon thing is for sure. It might be related to the voice dial function, but I'm really not sure. Hard reset is definitely a pain. I've made a little cheat sheet for myself with all my tweaks to get things set up again. But it's a pain anyway. Part of the cost of being on the bleeding edge with these wonderful little machines.
so true so true. But since it seems that nobody else has this problem im a bit afraid that there might be a hardware problem.
Well only way to fighure it out is to do a hard reset!. Is there any way to back up WM5 like there was in 2003?
well i have now preformed a hard reset and that did not work. I also installed the imate rom twice (installed arabic first LOL) and that did not good eather.
So i guess there is a hardware issue with the phone itself...
Any thoughts?
Hi!
I received my Touch HD on friday (German version) and I was initially very happy with it (no dead pixels, etc.) However, after playing around with it, synchronizing with the PC, etc., it started acting stranegly somtimes: the volume screen would come up without any apparent reason, it was not responsive, and so on.
Finally I discovered, that the "volume down" button is defective: sometimes it's not working at all and sometimes it's stuck at the pressed state, which, of course, renders the device unusable. Removing and reseating the battery cover did not help, neither did a hard reset (which was only possible via software, because the combination vol up + vol down + power doesn't seem to work either).
Obviously, my device is defective. Great... so time to get a replacement - after only 2 days! Nice build quality - congratulations HTC!
Regards!
I have not this problem ....

judging the entire assembly line/company based on one device is naive. if you disagree, you can try to find me a company makes products of this sophistication (cars, electronics, whatever) that has 100% quality.
one suggestion is to do a hard reset (volumn up and down button pressed simultaneously, when reset msg comes up, press volumn up). and use it for a couple days before you install or modify any settings. then you will know if it's the device or a crappy program that messed up your phone.
Hard reset doesn't work on my device - probably because the volume down key doesn't work? There is, however, a way to trigger a hard reset per software, which I did. The problem still exists unfortunately. So it's definitely a hardware problem. The device has just 3 buttons and already one of them doesn't work - I would call that disappointing...
Strange thing is, that sometimes it works normally and I was hoping the problem just went away. But suddenly, the button is stuck again or doesn't work. I've sent the phone back to the dealer and I'm asking my money back. I don't want to risk that it's beeing sent in for repair which could take weeks and maybe they don't even fix the problem...
Regards!

i am not sure if the software-triggered reset is a true hard reset or it's just a merely storage erase. may be it is. but i dont' know.
in anycase, yes it is disappointing, can you do an exchange with the vendor? that may be the best route and simplest for now, rather than risking it to fix it yourself.
Hello all, I'm having a problem with my hermes. The buttons from the front (internet explorer, mail, windows phone and so on...) don't seem to work anymore. besides that, when i press power button to turn off the screen, the back light from the phone buttons is still on. I thought it may be a windows problem considering the fact that at the beginning they were working sometimes. After changing windows the problem persists.
has anyone any idea about this?
Sorry if I'm hijacking.... I'm having the same problem. I pulled it apart and checked/reset all of the connectors and still nothing. After a brief moment of pondering I realized it started happening after I had done a sync with my desktop. So I'm thinking that a file got corrupted. I REALLY dont want to have to do a hard reset and reinstall all my programs. Anyone know how I can load just the files that contain the controls?
and yes I checked the other thread but I dont have the white screen, yes I tried the fix anyway, no it didnt work. I'm pretty sure its a software issue. Someone please help us...
Okay, I did a hard reset and still no joy. So I'm guessing this is a hardware issue? Any suggestions?
i tried switching on my phone today but instead of the normal flash screens i got a screen asking me if i want to proceed with the hardware reset!!!!!!!
sumhw evn the hardware buttons hav stoppd working
any help/suggestions will b appreciated
i was running the standard wm 6.1 rom
ummm anyone???????
You mentioned that the power buttons is not working.
What kind?
Camera or .. ?
It must have gone into hard reset mode -probably by accidently touching and holding certain keys when in your pocket.
Save your data with PIMBackup and/or Sprite Backup, then do a hard reset (see wiki on that).
luck! let us know how u go!
yippee
its fixed!!!!!!!! god knows how but it jus came back on by itself all functioning and all
did a hard reset to make sure
neways it works now
wonder what screwd it up
ps sorry 4 being a little late been away from the net
Great to hear that.
Cheers!
Just as i said - Argh! The screen is no longer responsive. What to do? I can no longer slide the lock across the screen. i have tried to flash the ROM with the 1.66 official but i cannot because it tells me to unlock the phone. I cant! argh! I've pushed the little red button by the battery a couple of times as well as removed the battery. Any suggestions? The hard buttons allow me to answer a call but that's it. i recently turned on the lock for the phone (today in fact) but I've unlocked it several times since doing so before this happened.
Sounds familiar...
Sounds like it is the same problem I had, as well as a few others on this forum. Even after a hard reset, it still didn't work. According to other people here, the solution is to have the screen swopped out for a new one. I've actually just sent mine in today to get it sorted out.
Just curious - I've got a suspicion that environmental conditions may have a role to play in causing the failure. What is the weather in your area like?
Very nice here today. Sunny, mid 50s(f).
I bought this off of ebay. Do i just send it in to HTC?
Try a hard reset, and if it doesn't help then make sure you have an official ROM and send it to HTC.
a hard reset is the little red button next to the battery, correct? ive done that.
and i cant very well change the ROMs at this point now, can i?

I would really like to wipe it before i sent it in. i dont want all my info, etc going into someones hands i dont know. anyway to do that?
No, that's a soft reset. Hard reset is pressing the red button while holding both volume keys until you get the "Restore factory settings?" prompt (when the device is on), then following the onsceeen instructions. This is what you're looking for to erase everything, including any possible software bug that could have caused the issue.
If the touchscreen still doesn't work then, send it in.

No! A hard reset is:
- Turn phone off
- Press vol up and down at the same time and then press power button (hold vol)
- follow the instructions on the screen
Be aware, that all you data on the phone will get lost. I recommend taking out the SD for that as well. After that u r done. By what you say i assume, that you didnt flash a custom ROM yet, right ?
Thanks! that didnt work either though.
I just want my money back now honestly. This thing, as pretty as it is, is just too much trouble.
Sorry double post...
A faulty device can happen to anybody, just bad luck... can't count how many times it has happened to me as well in the past.
I heard that there is a batch of phones that have a faulty screen, other problems are that without pressing anything the phone still registers clicks, phone doesn't always detect the correct place of where you pressed and the screen not responding.
I have got this on my phone and have arranged a pick up from HTC to pick up my phone for repair, hopefully in a week or two it will come back with a brand new screen that works
Ive had it a couple of months now. Im not sure if i can deal with the lack of apps that my iPhone has, pandora and the like, and the fact that teh HD2 would every so often change time and even date and i cant get weather in places my iPhone can.
In short, i love the HD2 for its specs but i no longer trust it at all.
