Hi there everyone.
I am a new user of an HTC Hero.
I have a problem on incoming calls or sms.
I leave the HTC to lock by itself and, when i have an incoming call or sms, only the screen turns on. I can see the number of the dialer who is calling me on the screen but NO ringtone sounds from the phone. The same problem occurs when an sms is received. No ring is sounded by the phone.
I have checked everything concerning the sound preferences and (i believe) that i have not left anything un-touched.
Can anyone please "save" me from madness???
Thanks in advance!
I can't say for sure this is what happened, but humor me for a second and check a few things:
Of course double check that your volume is all the way up.
When you use the volume rocker on the side of the phone, does it beep?
Do you have any music on it? If so, play it without the headphones plugged in. Do you hear the music?
When you turn speakerphone on during a call, do you hear the other person?
Do you hear any of these sounds using headphones? Do you hear people through the earpiece on a call?
If you don't hear any sound from any of the first few bullets, but you do hear things through the headphones and earpiece, it may be the speaker in the back that's broken. Again, this is just one possible cause, but I had it happen to me. I have no idea how to fix it other than to send it back to HTC or attempt to replace it yourself (I don't know how to do this and would not recommend it if you're not comfortable with it!). Thankfully, my phone fixed itself after a few days (well, with a little help, I accidentally dropped it on the floor from a height of about four feet, but again, I wouldn't recommend that!). Anyway, just a thought, hope it at least helps you diagnose the problem.

All of the sudden, when I get an incoming call and answer it, the speaker phone is active. I than have to go and turn it off to get the phone to transfer to the ear piece.
How can I stop this and have the phone answer to the ear piece by default again?

Never mind. I found the problem. I just installed the beta of phoneAlarm (1.4b2) and there is an option to have the speaker phone active for incoming calls. It was set to nothing, which must be equal to on, because if I set it to off my problem is solved.
Thanks anyway.
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.
Ok XDA, i have one big/huge/enormous problem,
Scenario:
Talking on the phone, using the Wired Handsfree (which came with the phone), when i get another call (call waiting) the notification of the other call is going through the loud speaker! not only that, the ongoing is immediately routed the loud speaker, anyone near me can hear the conversation clearly!!!!!!
does anyone face this?
i checked it on 2 X1s, 1 black & 1 silver and it's there.
anyway to solve this
same problem for me
I have a similar problem with a Parrok CK3100. The phone can't ever seem to decide for sure what speakers it's supposed to be using.
Sometimes I'll press the Voice Command button on the bluetooth device and the phone speaks out, sometimes the car speakers speak out.
I just don't know.
Annoying that the much, much cheaper E71-2 handles all of this with great aplomb, as did my Q9h.
any one else facing this problem people?
i started searching in order to get a clue,
the main thing i'm thinking is that it's caused the same way VOIP (including skype) used to behave using speaker phone!
what do you think?
I have the same problem with a german x1. ROM R2A.
Is there any solution for this problem
thx
walk
Fixed
Bugs Fixes (Registry):
Sound is routed to the Loud Speaker when having a phone call and get a waiting call while using Handsfree
change the key HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Speaker to 0 (default value = 1).
added to the wiki of X1
Thanks. I've changed that setting to see if it solves my problem, too.
Hi all. Do u have this same problem with your x1 like me? When someone is ringing me and i answer the phone then sometimes i cant hear hear his voice and he cant hear me either in 1st few seconds. After 2, 3seconds is normal.
I tryed few differend roms and this same problem. Is it something wrong with the phone, or this is normal in x1????
please raply yes or no.
Yes it's normal in X1, no there is nothing wrong with the phone.
I have the same problem. I am used now and wait for about 2 seconds before I say 'hi' When I call someone or when I get called and press the green button, it takes a few seconds before the person hears me. I think that it's normal in X1, but it is quite irritating. My opinnion about X1 is that the phone is really nice to use different applications but the calling performance is below average.
These are few things that I don't linke about the x1 (beside the problem that its mentioned in this topic):
- calling volume is too high, even when I set the volume to lowest level. People next to me can hear the person who I am speaking. (So, I don't mention the speaker on the left-bottom, but on the top.)
- The speaker on the bottom is really on a bad place. You can easily cover the speaker with your finger or handpalm. If that happens, you can't hear the sound.
- The microphone of the standard headset is really bad quality. The person can't hear me well.
- When I put the headset on and someone is calling me, the ringtone rings both on the headset and the speaker of the x1 on the bottom.
thank u very much. i`m glad someone reply on my post.
Hey guys, not too sure if this is just my own problem or a general Hero/custom rom problem but Googling and searching has found nothing but the Alarm volume problem..
Basically, on all custom roms I have tried baring any 1.5 roms, it seems after I have made/received a call the phone wont output any sound at all or use the mic. An example of this is I get a call, it goes fine. Ringtone plays, can hear the other person perfectly and they can hear me. I hang up and about 20 minutes later I have a missed call as it never rang. I ring back and hear no dial tones but get the little vibration to notify me they have picked up. From there they cant hear me talk and cant hear them talk. :s
The camera, wifi, 3G, etc etc all still work but there is no sound going in or coming out of the phone.
It also seems to happen if I have a low battery. As to why this is happening, again I have no idea.
I thought i'd ask here as it seems the best place to ask.
Dave.
