Can't hear conversation unless it's on speakerphone

So, my phone stopped working a few days ago. I've been running WM6 for quite some time now and I've even tried going back to Tmobile's ROM. Basically, when I receive/make a phone call, I can ONLY hear the person if I put them on speaker. They can hear me regardless, but I can't hear them. Pretty annoying.
Any ideas?

Heh! Quite a coincidence!!! I cannot hear anything from the headset either and it happened a short while after I upgraded to XDA6. It work fine with the stereo headset as well as with a BT one. The difference in my case is that I cannot switch to speakerphone. The phone is deaf without a hands-free device.
I have posted a separate thread on my problem - here it is

i have the same problem. phone is dead without a handsfree it happened to me last night all was good, i was listening to music to handsfree and removed them to make a call and it didnt work anymore..i reinstalled the rom, but no sound..any help anyone?
maybe the phone is stuck on handsfree..it things that the handsfree is plugged in or something?

problem solved trustworthy, i've put the jack in and out a few times..and now the sound works there is a switch that is pressed when you plug in the jack and maybe it got stuck on handsfree..try pressing it a few times..i don't know. now my phone works. i'll never plug in a handsfree again

I had the same problem--it was still under warranty...new MDA was the solution.
By the time it goes again I hope the next generation will be here!

I have the same problem as lilcam, the earspeaker is dead. I had the same problem once, and the service chage the speaker, first and the ringer, later and stars working just fine. Now, the silent speaker hits again and service says is not the same problem and they cant repar it. Does anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the hint, but I REPLACED the handfree jack and it still wouldn't work without the headset
The people, who got it serviced told me that there was a problem with the mmainboard, that they cannot deal with. As I've mentioned in my thread, they also told me that a faulty handsfree jack was a frequently occurring problem with the 9100. I would recommend to pdebeitia and Sisqo to try replacing the jack. Hopefully it might help...it did not work for me though...
BTW, pdebeitia and Sisqo, what ROM are your MDA's running or were runnig at the time when it happened?

Himalaya I can't hear anything when Calling

Hello all
I have big problem with my himalaya. When someone calling to me or I calling to someone i can't hear anything and he can't hear me. But I can hear ring tone, mp3. I can hear someone and he can hear me when I connect my XDA 2 to computer.
What i can do with That??

the problem is with the connector.few Pins are broken or are touching each ither...which causes the Hima to go into Car Mode..try connecting a Headphone and see if it works or not..else get your Connector replaced

no audio
If the above doesn't work, this could be a problem, which after a LOT of research I don't believe there has been a fix found for. Essentially , my problem and a problem my mate had was that the audio on the phone was working FINE, MP3, ringtone etc... but upon answering or calling, there was no IN CALL sound. it WORKED with a headset, but no amount of fiddling with the jack sorted it out. THe LOUDSPEAKER also would NOT work.
Having a few donar phones lying about, I just put a new board into the phone and forgot about the problemed one for a week or so, left it laying in my drawer. Tried it in the phone after waiting this time, and it worked FINE.... the problem had rectified itself.
I know this isn't necessarily helpful, but perhaps leaving the phone in a dry warm place ? could be moisture..?
hope this helps.
..........IB a n e

well, it happend with me yesterday, just took the Batt. out ( 30 second), put it back, reset the device, and all will be OK,....its a software feature AND NOT A BUG... beleave it or NOT....

[Q] Nobody can hear me... AGAIN!!!

I had purchased a surround on launch day and within a few days every now and then nobody could hear me. I thought it was a fluke or sim issue but have since ruled this out. Has anyone else had this issue. I also had it replaced and about the same amount of time. About a week or so and now its almost every phone call unless I reboot, which allows it to work a few times before coming back, so I know its not hardware. Should I switch to another device, eg: the lg quantum, or is there a fix Im not aware of?? I love the surround but I have missed some really important phone calls because of this. I will also note my buddy had her surround replaced for same exact reason and she bought hers at a different store all together.

What?
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
I am going to lean towards a bad manufacture batch. I've had my surround since launch and haven't experienced this issue at all.
When you had it replaced, did you do it at the store you bought it from? Try having ATT ship you a new one. This would pretty much ensure that it's not from the same batch.

i did have it shipped for the replacement and still a no go. I rebooted yesterday and have not had the problem again yet but it is getting truly annoying. Hopefully its just something that goes away as I love my surround

I had this issue once, after about 3 weeks with the phone. Re-booted, and it's been good since (another couple weeks).
Hopefully an isolated incident.

I think I am having the same problem.
It started a couple of days ago.
This is what I am experiencing:
When I make a call, the other side cannot hear me, but I can hear them. Most of the time when I terminate the call, and redial, it works; they can hear me. Some times it takes more than one redial to get it working.
Today I made a discovery; during a call, when they cannot hear me, I plug-in the earphones and voila: they can hear me. The funny thing is that even if I unplug the headphones, the microphones work.
Has anybody else tried this?

Nobody??????

I've had this happen once or twice. It took a complete reboot for the mic to start working again each time. I checked with a decibel meter app and it reported -1dB from the mic while I was having the problem.
I've had that phone replaced since then and I haven't had that on this new one.

I've experienced this problem twice. For both times, battery went critical low while I was calling. And I was not able to get microphone working again until I reset the phone.
I'm not sure if the "battery is critical low" causes this problem.

I've had the same issues with my Surround a couple of times, a reboot always corrects it. My brother just got a Surround last week, and has already had it happen once, a reboot fixed his too. It's funny, he upgraded from the Tilt 2 because of the same issues on that phone, using Android was the only thing I could find to fix the issue on the Tilt 2.

i have the same problem! i try install 2 diferent roms and nothing

[Q] Can't hear but they can hear me.

Hey guys I'm looking for some help.
Earlier today my phone stated acting weird.
Any call whether coming in or sending out I can't hear the ringing or the other person but they can hear me perfectly.
The only time I CAN hear someone normally is when I'm on complete wifi calling or I have my hear phones plugged in using regular network.
So when using my own service it won't work without headphones, not even speaker.
very inconvenient to carry headphones everywhere.
But wifi calling works fine. Speaker and everything.
Anyone have any idea?

I can't hear people when they call me

I am having this issue: when someone call me i can't hear them, but they can hear me. I can hear them if i activate the speaker though. I have LineageOS 17 on my phone, but i am not sure if it is a software issue because i am using this rom more than a year and i started having this issue few weeks ago.
Any idea what could be the reason for this problem?
