[Q] Ear speaker not working directly after root! - EVO 4G General

I've been reading all day and night and haven't found anything in any of the related threads about this, so I finally decided to post my own.
Last night I rooted my evo using unrevoked and shortly thereafter noticed that I had lost audio in the ear speaker.. or whatever it is called. I can still call and hands-free and the loudspeaker still work.
I tried flashing a few different ROMs thinking that it would solve the problem, and it didn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'm having the same problem with HTC Wildfire!

maybe try un-rooting then re-rooting my evo was tricky to root at first second time around worked fine. hope this helps

Sounds like you guys need to run the RUU, just make sure you run the one that has an hboot that matches your current one.

Volume Issues in 1.5

Hey guys!
Alright so I'm having a new issue with my G1 thats truly driving me nuts. Pretty much the long and short of it is that the volume of my earpiece during calls is really quiet.
I did a few things to try and fix it:
Tried switching builds (Haykuro's to the Dude's Build)
Tried a clean wipe
Disabled App2SD
Downloaded Volume Control
Anyways so I was hoping someone else who might have had a similar problem figured something out to fix it. Help? Please? : )
I only had this problem with the dude's earlier builds but I just connect/disconnect it to a bluetooth device and the speaker sound would be loud again.
I never experienced the sound issue in jf1.5 though.
Alright well after much poking and fixing I finally decided that the problem had to rely in the hardware. So I called up tmobile and their sending me a new one.
Tried out your tip though Dr and still no luck for me.
As a side note, Tmobile tech support gets really funny when you mention root.
TS: Have you checked out androidcommunity.com?
Me: Oh ya! Is that the place where you get that root app or whatever from?
TS: Get what?
Me: I think its called root?
TS: .....not sure what that is....

Loosing all sound?

Anyone had this yet? Basically after flashing EVERY version of Damages 2.1 roms and Flipz 2.0d, I seem to have this odd issue where I loose all sound input and output. I noticed first when I was using Flipz, but a wipe and flash of DC 2.05 did the same thing. Weirdest part is, that it's fine for a while after a reboot, then suddenly happens and won't work until another reboot. My only thought is for some sort of software conflict or something, but right now my Hero is basically unusable as a phone since noone can hear me and I can't hear them.
Thoughts? Lil Help?

I have the exact same issue. Very strange and rare. So the occasional reboot fixes it but annoying at times.

I have come across the same today on the 2.05 revision. It started this afternoon, since I have had to reboot 5 times. The latest was only about an hour or so apart. When I make calls, I do not hear any sound, no ring tone, not the other person. Also adjusting the ring volume with the volume keys does not make any sounds. Even on my bluetooth headset I do not get any sound. No rings on incoming calls, no speaker phone ... absolutely nothing. This has become a huge issue an I'm going back to my 1.5 image at this point.
Actually, reading through threads about both ROMS, I'd say there are quite a few people starting to encounter this problem...has anyone with this issue gone back to 1.5 to see if it goes away then?
S
just a note, the people on the other end when making a call can't hear anything either but the call does go through. i had to use the g/f BB to call and my buddy thought it was his phone. I'm so mad because I thought this was a done deal but looks like I gotta go back to 1.5
+1 same issue on Fresh 2.0d
When it happened it affected incoming and outgoing calls, earpiece, speakerphone, microphone -- the works. Person on other end could not hear anything either. Fixed with reboot.
me and my coworker both have this issue with our heroes, he couldn't stand it and went back to fresh 1.1 and it went away
I still get the issue once a day, full reboot solves the issue.
I cant seem to pinpoint when it happens, it just happens.
it started with the first fresh 2.0 and then continued with every 2.1 i have tried
i couldn't find a post in this forum relating to a fix for this, unless someone can prove me me wrong and i hope someone does
+1 same issue on Fresh 2.0d and DCv1
Same as others, a reboot will fix it but by that point you just missed a call.
Or if the sound goes out you might miss a few calls from not being able to hear the phone ring.
yes it is a very large issue. im about to run some tests and i will find out what causes it. hopefully i will have a solution tonight for everyone but its going to be hard.
also the issue effects all sound on the phone and pegs the cpu pretty bad. you cant adjust sound lvls or hear anything from either speaker at all.
im afraid the problem will lie in the boot.img with a driver for sound. because dc2.0r2 did have this issue and also has an incomplete boot.img we may have to deal with no trackball. anyways ill report back asap

Thanks. You're speaking greek to me as far as the boot.img and all that but if you have an idea of what's going on I'm all ears on fixing it. If there is any sort of info we can provide just let us know.
Im here to help as well, If you need any testers I am willing to do what ever is needed! Anything to fix this problem!

I need help! No incoming volume

HI,
Firstly this started 5wks ago out of the blue.
My problem is I cannot hear a voice from an incoming call!
I can be heard on both incoming and outgoing calls
It has worked on a couple of occasions for a few seconds but is very distorted and sometimes you can hear them faintly in the background for a few seconds.
Works fine on speaker and headphones.
I’ve tried numerous roms clean installs, swapping kernels …blah blah blah
I’m at a complete loss and its driving me friggin crazy!!
I have a Logcat of me making a call.
I’m hoping that someone will be able to decipher and point me in the right direction.
From what I see its routing audio to speakerphone and not handset??
I don’t know if this the correct way to post a log…if not go easy on me…
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
+Thanks for taking the time to look.
As you've tried everything else - did you also try another radio?

Hi,
the only other radio I have tried Leo_RADIO_2.14.50.02 and sadly the same.
Just about to install Dorimanx new rom + kernel v1.6 (Fingers crossed)
Thanks for taking the time to reply...
EDIT: Installing new rom+kernel has made no difference.

Weird idea: flash a stock HTC WinMo ROM to rule out hardware error.

Considered that as a last resort.
Haven’t yet looked into it, was hoping that I din't have to go down that road.
I’m assuming that there is a fare amount involved in doing so?
Cheers
Edit: Installed WinMo NRG Energy rom and have the same problem!
I'm now assuming that this is unfortunately a hardware issue
Thanks Dr_Grip for input - Appreciated

I have a bit of a problem

Hello to any and all that might be reading this thread. Before I start off, allow me to say that I have attempted to search for a solution in other threads and I have found nothing. If any of you can find another thread doing so, please let me know
Anyways, my current issue is that during phone calls, I cannot hear the other person calling me. I can repeatedly speak and the person calling will be able to hear me but I am not able to hear them speak. In addition, I am able to make phone calls, but in the process of doing so, there is no dial tone and I cannot hear anything until I put the phone into speaker mode.
I originally thought it was perhaps an ROM issue, so I did the usual power down and battery pull and nothing occurred. I then proceeded to flash over my current ROM with the same zip (there hasn't been an update) and still nothing. If anybody can help me, it would great by appreciated.
I should also note that I am running Virtuous G-Lite 2.0.1 and have attempted to search for an solution in that particular thread before posting here. Thanks in advance!
if a full wipe and a flash of a stable rom won't fix this, then its a hardware faliure. chances are you need a new speaker
so either use headphone jack, speakerphone speaker, or replace the internal one

microphone acting up

I recently updated my xt575 with the September security patch. Since then my microphone doesn't work only when making a phone call on speakerphone. Normal phone calls, audio and video recording, and voice commands all work just fine. I have tried booting into safe mode with no success, and then did a full factory reset and held off on downloading anything before trying again, still with no success. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know of a fix or workaround for this before I try contacting Motorola? Thanks.
P.s. I am on stock ROM on Att network. I use Android pay a lot so would like to avoid rooting.

Same man. It's weird too. It will fix itself after a couple days - or at least mine did

Odd... I am on AT&T, for the moment at least, and use my speakerphone all the time, never had an issue before or after the update.
Try clearing your cache partition maybe?
Same problem
Hello. I'm trying to solve my Moto's mic for over a week now.
I was trying many ROMs, but ended up using TruePureXMM ROM along with franken kernel.
It was all working fine, except some overall phone lag and constantly trying out other kernel auditor settings...
...untill about 2 weeks ago. Phone's microUSB port got damaged, and I had to return my phone to repair service.
After I received it back, I wanted to try out some Nougat ROMs, and tried couple of them, but found out that the mic isn't working properly there.
Decided to return back to stock, using this forums tutorials, done it without any single errors or problems in the process, I did many devices roms changes before.
It didn't help at all. The receiver don't hear me at all, the only sound they can hear is when I blow into the mic's direction.
*Note that when I change to speaker mode, the receiver hear me with some breaks in between, but it's the only way to call from now on...
I'm confused now, completely no idea if it is really the OS problem, or if it's just something with the microphone itself.
Looking forward for any tips, thanks for help.

I hope so. It's been a few weeks already... If it doesn't fix itself then hopefully the nougat update will help.

I have tried that too. Nothing send to help and I've been searching online for a while for a solution with no results. I don't think being Att has any relevance but figured I'd share that anyways just in case.
