Sound cut off if call not picked up with call waiting

There seems to be a very annoying bug on my new XDAII that is running the 1.6O O2 ROM.
If I am on the phone and i receive a call that alerts me that there is a call is waiting, and I decline to answer it, the sound is cut off and I can't hear the caller anymore. Cancelling the current call and re-dialling is the only way of getting 'sound back'.
Furthtermore, another irritating bug is that if the phone rings and I answer after only 1-2 rings, I can't hear anything for a few seconds and have to wait those couple of seconds before i can speak to the other person. This doesn't seem to happen if the call is answered after 3-4 rings.
Any help would be appreciated.

Me too - only answer I found was to turn off call waiting.
Poor solution.

Same for me, i too had to turn off call waiting, however i found that if you are using a bluetooth headset when the second call comes in and you decline to answer it, it just transfers the current call the the phone and you can continue it there

Same problem here.
I find that if you put the call on hold and then resume - the voice will come back.
VERY irritating.

Same for me too, I have T-Mobile 1.60 and using BTHTools 1.1.0.0...
Do you use BTHTools?

yes l am using BT tools.

hasnain

I performed a hard reset...
Did NOT install BT Tools - and had the same problem.

Mine did this long before using BT tools also.

I also have the same problem....
Is it an incompatibility between the phone and Bt Tools?
Is there any solution other than turning off call waiting?

Does anyone face the 2nd problem that I mentioned:
Sometimes when I pick up the phone after it rings, it takes a couple of seconds before i can hear the caller. This happens more often when picking the phone up within 1 or 2 rings.

This problem was aroung in the I-mate ROM 1.66.
They fixed both with the 1.72 ROM.

i DON'T THINK THIS IS FIXED IN 1.72. i STILL HAVE THESE SAME PROBLEMS TOO, RUNNING t-MOBILE 1.72.
While running 1.60 I replaced the Radio Stack only with the O2 original release version - sorry don't remember version number - and it worked without these two very annoying bugs in the phone. i think it is a problem with the readio stack version only.
After losing the voice with an incoming call I can get the voice back without redialing by placing the call on hold and then resuming.
I have the same problems with or without bluetooth tools and with or without a BT headset.
Now, I have T-Mobile's 1.72 installed and am afraid to reload the working radio stack becasue of the "downgrade disaster" with 1.72. I am anxiously waiting for either a stable 1.72 or XDA Developers to help us out of this mess with this ****ty ROM.
This forum is fantastic. Thanks to everyone.

I had the problem in the 1.66 ROM, and no longer have it with 1.72!

I've just installed the new O2 1.72 ROM and am still having the same problem.
I am also suffering from a problem I was having on the old ROM. Many times when I receive a call and press the green answer button, it takes between 2-5 seconds for me to hear the person calling. The person calling also hears a similar period of slience before he/she can hear me.
The same thing also happens sometimes when I call out, where only once 2-3 rings into the call or if the other party has already picked up thephone can I hear or say something.
I'm not sure if caller ID or Photo ID has anything to do with it as I have around 1380 contacts on my xda.
This problem is extremely annoying and was wondering if there is anyone out there who has faced the problem and may have an answer for it.

Us too
We have two xda2 with 1.72, and same thing, there is a 5 second delay upon recieving any call, and sometimes there is a hangup duriong call waiting???

I never had that problem until I installed Bluetooth Tools...now it always happens. Though as someone's suggested, holding and resuming seems to do the trick.

Busy tone always through external speaker ?

I have got an O2 trion which has a rather strange feature. When I call a number which is busy at the moment the busy tone is always delivered through the external speaker even though the external speaker is not on. HTC support says they have never heard of this problem and I should send the device in. I hoped that the ROM update HERMIMG_O2_1.25.207.1_SHIP.nbh whould solve the problem but it does not.
Does anybody else have the same problem and is there a solution?
ThankX
Stefan

Yes, I have same problem.

Same here on my V1605. It seems that there is stiill no way of resolving this issue.
See thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61115

I've also discovered that when the engaged tone sounds through the speakerphone I'm no longer able to hear the phone ring - it goes straight to call divert. Will phone CS tomorrow to see if they have any answers.

Hi dIesigner_1,
thank you for the link to the existing topic for this problem. I could not find it before my post.
I also do have the screen alignment problem so I sent the device back to O2. I am looking forward what will happen and if both issues can be resolved. :?:

same issue
hi,
i have the strange busy tone on speaker effect too.
thou hapily it doesn't seem to affect my call routing.
would be interested in the solution, though!
cheers.

I have the same issue on my HTC TyTN, not always but it happens random from time to time. Very strange behavior...

*push*
any solutions yet?
that is anoying as hell!

Hi,
I got a new O2 trion as an exchange device due to screen alignment problems. I also claimed the external speaker bug. Guess what! The screen alignment is ok so far but the external speaker bug is still there. I called the company CS which is responsible for the exchange. They claim never to have heard about the bug and they offered another exchange...I do not belive this will help as long as nobody complains about the problem and HTC is forced to do something.

I get that sometimes too

Found a solution from another thread
workaround update: change "Script" value to "ap" for tone to play only once, and change "Sound" value to "busytone.wav" (comes in rom, at least for HTC TyTN) - it's not loud at all.

Thanks to shadowcaster for this tip.
Also if you want to disable the sound just remove the Script key.

Phone goes MUTE. Kindly help

Hi everybody,
I have this one problem. After 2 days of usage, my Hermes suddenly went mute. No vibration or screen click can be heard even If I changed it to the loudest. I missed a lot of calls and sms due to this problem. The only way to solve this problem that I employ is by soft-reset my device.
I really hope somebody can help me tracking to root-cause of this problem and in the same time providing or proposing a solution to it.
Kindly help. Regards
morisa

did you unmute it from the speaker icon ?
if you have a backup restore it if not do a hard reset just make sure you backup your contacts/ stuff first

Phone goes mute
I think I'm having that problem too. Just out of the blue it happened. Didn't install anything extra the whole week. But when someone calls it rings, and if it's missed, it doens't play the miss call tone... or any other sound in that case.

Hi,
I noticed that the problem started to happen when I long-press the "Green" Button to activate the speakerphone during a call instead of pressing the "Speaker On" menu on the screen.
I've no idea why but maybe that could be the problem. Presently, I have to press that "Speaker On" on-screen menu to activate the speakerphone to avoid this problem.
Maybe other users can confirm this problem.

Got the same issue here and I don't use speakerphone

my pda´s auto mute so

No sound although speaker icon no in mute
I have the same problem. Out of the blue no sound is heard at all. I tried changing volume but it did not do any thing. Had to shut down (not soft reset) and restart device and it works fine. This happen several times and I can figure out why it does this.
If anyone can help...

Same here, I'm using a X01HT Softbank variant TYTN flashed with the latest HTC WWE rom and after about like 12 hours of use the device goes mute for some reason, making calls it works perfectly but playing sounds or ringers the speaker does not work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking of maybe re flashing the device since most of my information is on my storage card. I'll see if that fixes the problem :-\.

same problem here....

Same here. Only a reboot fixes it.

I have the same problem but it only happens when using the speaker phone. After the call ends, then there are no more system sounds etc. I then have to soft reset, which pisses me off as I use the speaker phone plenty in the car.
If i dont use the speakerphone, then there is no problem. Kind of strange....
Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?

I have same problem. I thought it was software related, but seems that it is caused by the speaker phone. I had the exact same problem with my old IPAQ 6515. It must be a software issue with WM although the 6515 had WM2003SE and the TYTN has WM5 so I do not know. Really annoying though as I use this phone for an alarm and it never goes off because the sound turns off sometime while I am sleeping - Uhggggg!

I also have the problem. Only a Softreset brings the speaker back to live.

my new problem...misery loves company
same here; curiously 2 pages into this thread and there are no real solutions.

I have solved the problem on my TyTN.
The Midlet Manager is the root cause for the Phone Mute issue on my device.

lol I just started getting this issue out of the blue after a couple of months and I didn't install anything :|
yeah nothing but a soft reset brings the sound back

Happens to me too. Strange coincidence - I've just checked my m3100 and it's giving me the silent treatment now. Time for another soft reset
I never use Midlets, so that rules the above theory out for me. However my battery was almost dead. I was using WiFi at the time, which turned itself off when the warning notifications popped up. Maybe when the battery drops below an acceptable level it turns the sound off to save power, but doesn't restore it after charging?

nope it happens to me even if my battery is fully charged

this used to happen on my i-mate PDA2k, and my JasJar (Universal) running both WM5, AKU3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and unfortunately even WM6 :S

Hi All,
After checking and testing the phone. I found out that the only way for me to solve the muting problem is by silencing the notification sound when a new email arrives. Since I have an unlimited EDGE/GPRS, my push mail is working around the clock. Thus, by not having the new email sound notify, the muting problem gone. This is caused by the notification event locking up the sound and not releasing it even after I read the mail. Previously the only way to resolve is by soft-reset but now, no more.
I have no idea whether this work or not for others but you might try and post your solution here.
Regards,
morisa

JASJAR Crashes on some incoming calls

I thought this was only a ROM issue as I was using a ROM that seemed to have many problems with it other than this, but when I changed to another ROM, the problem still persists.
The problem is that sometimes when I get incoming calls, the phone will just vibrate and crash with no backlight on the screen and only showing the Incoming Call bubble with the caller ID in it. I'm not exactly sure what the people calling receive, I think they just get silence, no ringing tone at all.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if it's just me.

I also have this once in a while. Mostly, when I didn't reboot my Qtek for several days. The device freezes displaying the Incoming call bubble and it keeps vibrating until I reset it. I guess the caller gets the busy signal or gets re-routed to voicemail.
Cheers,
-mARKUS

the same here...sometimes freezes and show "incoming call" if i dont reset for few days.. i got used to that

same here. any idea for a solution?

[Q] Receiving Calls when headphones in (7392 update)) [Solved]

Good morning,
This is my first post. I have recently downloaded and flashed Yukis (7392) ROM updated on 5/16 and for some reason when someone calls in, and I have the earphones in, the person calling gets a fast busy signal. The Caller ID will splash on the screen and instantly go away as if slide screen was activated and the ignore button was pressed. I want to say this is a ROM issue for the last ROM I used (HD20) would attenuate the sound and the call would come thru. I havent tried any other 7392 ROMS to be sure, Just wanted to know if anyone else had this issue with Yukis ROM. And, if we do find it to be a ROM issue can someone inform yuki as I can not because my post count is too low.
Thanks,
Dirty
UPDATE:
Looks to be a Update issue. I just tried it with HD20 rom with the same results. Am I the only user seeing this? I searched the FAQ and I did not see anything stating that this is a Bug. ???

Resolution
So i played around with this for a While and it seems that if you turn off both options in the "Ease of Access' menu then you will be able to receive calls with the headphones plugged in. This also works with mic'd headphones as well.
Thanks,
Dirty

I hadn't even thought of this! I usually turn those options off & hadn't when I switched roms. I'm going to try this when I get home and let you know if it worked for me as well.
