2.1 Dropped audio! Only fix is reboot... - Hero CDMA General

I've tried Fresh 2.0/b/b2 DamageControl v.9999 and all of them have randomly dropped ALL audio. Ringtone, Voice, Notifications, and media all go silent. The only thing I've found to fix it is to reboot. This has happend 3 times to me today and my good friend has had the same issue for 3 days or so. I think it may be related to the .29 kernel?
Any ideas?

yes. it sux. happens alot to me. just live with it. im about to test darchlegend and see how that goes tom.

When will the Audio Problem be fixed completely

I want to know when will the sound problem be fixed completely? im currently using fresh 1.5 because all of the 2.1 have problems with the sound.. when someone calls i cant hear them and they cant hear me! i cant be resetting my phone everytime this happens. the fix that they have dont work also it might prevent it from happening so often but all my calls are important... does any one know when this will be fixed fully or why is this happening? how to prevent it ? mayb its the cdma settings? Thanks alot
The audio problem for the effected phones will be fixed when official 2.1 comes out.
i found whats causing it.... so who has a nice rom with the older kernel before .29 .. wats the kernel ? lol
The issue is caused by audio drivers in the kernel not resetting. we do not have the source for .29 kernel so there is no fix. we dont know why this effects some people and not others. Since the audio drivers do not reset it does not allow anything to read them. so it continues resetting and resetting and this causes the cpu to be pegged by the constant retry and retry.
Any 1.5 or overclocked 2.1 Rom
The audiofix posted by avalaunch worked briliantly for me. I have not had the issue once since he posted his fix about two weeks ago.
Also just so you know, zens my touch Rom did not have the audio issues for me. Just be sure to reboot after the first boot to completely get everything working.
which fix the audiofx or audiorc?? or u on the newest one for testers? i hate the my touch roms omg lol whats the older kernel version
wait another thing could it be because we didnt update the radio ?? or u guys doubt that 1?
I have had the audio issue with every ROM i had used until i flashed the Dachdroid 2. Ever since i have not had any kind of issues with phone freezing or caller not hearing me when i answer. Its very strange, but i wanted to post to see if any of the Devs can find out the differences between whats in this ROM and all the othersthat would make it work. Again i have had audio issues with all except this one.
What is this Audio problem?
I've run ROMs with both the .29 and hacked up .27 kernels.
Is this a bluetooth audio problem? Or handset audio?
The problem occurs randomly, for me at least. It's an issue I've had as others have that no audio at all comes through after an unknown time. I notice mine is triggered when I get off the phone with someone, I get 'call lost' and then all my audio is gone and have to reboot to get audio back. It affects BT and handset for me.
Iv never had the problem and iv changed my radio quite a few times. I think im on my 4th radio.
Maybe later at night you could flash a 2.1 rom, change to a newer radio and give it a few test to see if it works.
Flipz has alot of radios and I think the stock one on his site.
(IF anyone trys flashing a radio this is really the only way you can brick your phone. DO not flash any radio unless it says CDMA htc hero. All of them are on flipzmode website. You cant go wrong if you get them from him.)
the issue will hopefully be fixed when they release 2.1 officially. and im still looking into the issue a little at a time. 99% of people reported that one of the two updates put together fix it.
the only other cause could be a hawrdware issue. like the moved one resistor on the board and this causes something in the kernel to restart drivers. idk that is a very very very simple thought. but anyways like i said hopefully it get fixed!
Dont know if this is related but its absolutely killing me
Just today the headset icon popped on and wont go away. I cant hear anything when using the phone because its stuck in this mode. I plug in headphones and the voice dialer starts. I can hear through the headphones, but taking them out does nothing.
Anyone have any info on this or if there is anything I can do?
yea thats y im on fresh 1.5 i hate the 2.1 simply because of the audio problem coming from the headset !!! andn darch droid2? does everything work correctly like camera ect ... i hope its not that dam mytouch theme that 1 sucks ill try tonight

yeah...Ive come to the conclusion that 2.1 is just not going to work for me...went back to fresh 1.1 and everything is good. Its funny though, Ive been on 2.1 since all of the work was done and never had a problem until now. Ive been on damn near every 2.1 rom and didnt have an issue. Now all of the sudden the handset icon shows up and I cant hear anything unless I put in headphones. Tried all of the audio fixes and searched the entire net looking for a resolution. Hopefully the official comes soon. I am definitely going to miss 2.1.

That's more than likely a mechanical problem. Take it in to Sprint.

I would think so too, but I went back to fresh 1.1 and its fine...
I'd go back, but then I'm stuck with not being able to receive picture messages. So far I get the audio problem every other day, and it's a simple reboot.

This audio loss issue is reason number one why all of the people who say "Who cares when HTC and Sprint release 2.1? We already have it!" are just total idiots.

(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.

Ringtone problems with cyanogen rc1

Jusy installed cyanogen rc1.
Having problems with ringtone.
Sometimes it sounds, sometimes it doesn't.
Rebooting doesn't seem to help.
Before I was using rc1, was using 6.0, but the ringtone problem wasn't severe then.
At the moment, playing them from settings-sounds, is not a problem, but when a call comes in, it goes dead silent. Sms seems to work fine. Media plays with no issues as well..
Can someone advice?
Thanks.
I'm having the same problem, but with notification sounds as well. it works fine for a day or so, then all sounds stop working and rebooting doesn't help at all.
Hi. i'm the original person who started this post.
Try reflashing a fresh ROM.
I think it would be ok after that.
I've also started using the vodaphone ROM. it's free of notification/sound problems.

Unbearable lag in Nero4.1 with voice calls?

Anyone else? Im not exactly sure if its Phone.apk, DialerTabeActivity.apk, or simply the act of voice calls that is causing it. But it seems as though whenever i make a call, or have an incoming call, my phone almost cant handle it. It lags out like crazy.
This morning, my phone started ringing. There was so much lag that i couldnt answer the phone in time. Also, when i go to hang up a voice call, it often takes the "end call" button almost 10seconds to respond. Lastly, just earlier, i ended a call with my buddy. It LITERALLY took 3 minutes between the time i ended that call, and started a new one. Thats how bad the lag was.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas how to fix it? Maybe its the modem?
This lag is literally intolerable, and a major inconvenience to efficiency.
PS - No, im not running a lagfix. I experimented with and without, and i determined that overall my phone performs better without it.
PPS - This is not me being oCD about my phone or a ROM. Im not being that "never satisfied" guy. Everything else with the ROM is great, its just this one thing.
Im using Eugene's B_Stock_1120_100 kernel, found here: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=28

I would try starting from stock and working back up to nero v4.1.
I appreciate eugenes work but thats where most of my problems come from. Using nero v3 and experimenting with eugenes kernals(I was bored) I had constant lag, random reboots, panic/safe mode, freezes, couldnt access external sd card etc... Try starting from stock. Are you using titanium backup with system info.

It sucks because this particular kernel of his offers almost everything i want in a 2.2 kernel (BLN, bootup/shutdown animations, lagfixes, OC/UV, and i also love the recovery menu).....although, with this ROM at least, the only lagfix that works is Voodoo, and the OC is only clocked at 1120ghz.
I was wondering if maybe this was causing it. And im mildly depressed to learn that it very well may be. I like TW's kernels, but they just seem to be battery destroyers.
So are you saying not to use this Eugene kernel at all? Should I try a TW one instead? Sorry but stock kernels suck and i want to avoid them if possible.
PS - I dont know what youre asking in terms of TiBu
I just tried it while on Wi-Fi, call came in, no lag answering it, I browsed engadget website, and no out of ordinary lag.
Flash back to stock and go back to the ROM, see if it resolves the issue.
EDIT: I am using Voodoo though
had same problem and i had just come from a fresh odin to stock. couldn't take it and went back to axura latest rom. plus vringo and video tonez don't work with roms with voice start and shutdowns.

Can't hear people on the headset

I've been having this problem where I can't hear anyone on the handset. When the person answers the call, I can hear maybe two or three seconds worth, but it's completely garbled and broken up, as though I'm in a bad reception area, and then it goes silent. But I can hear them perfectly fine if I switch to speakerphone or use the handsfree headset! The people on the other side can hear me too.
It all started a few days ago. I had just installed the Phoenix kernel for MIUI. It was working fine for a while, and then all of a sudden this started happening. At first I thought maybe it was something to do with the Phoenix kernel, so I just reflashed MIUI. No factory reset yet. Just wanted the original kernel back. Still the same. So then I thought maybe I'll try a different ROM altogether and went to CM7. Same problem. Finally, I put in a stock recovery and went to stock 407. Same problem there as well!! DSC v1.0, same problem!! Now I'm back to CM7, and yes, same problem! Not sure what else I can try. I seriously hope it's not some hardware issue. Any suggestions as to what to try next would be appreciated!
