Hi all
My ear speaker suddenly got very low in volume yesterday, so low I can almost not hear the other person. Can't figure out why. But I've been reading a lot on the web about 2.2 froyo updates and the HTC incredible ear speaker not working after that. Could we have the same problem with the HTC wildfire?
I was running the stable CM when this happend, and been running it for 3 days before this happened. I flashed it again, tried the 59 nightly and flashed the 24H radio but nothing works.
But if I try speaker call, that works fine.
I'm going to try to flash back to original 2.1 eclair and check if that solves anything. Is anybody else having the same issues?

Fine here on the modaco froyo rom
Flashed back to 2.1 WWE shipped ROM, didn't change anything... I'm getting worried that I've bricked my device. But I can't understand how! Haven't done anything unusual, other from flashing the CM ROMs.
During a call, try the volume down key until you reach minimum, then max it up again.
I had this problem with modaco froyo, only at mine it was too loud. I had it at 60-70% and it was maximum, and when I reached minimum and went back to 60-70%, it wasn't that loud anymore.

Doesn't work...
It's strange, because it seems like there are lot of HTC desire, HD and Z owners complaining about this too. Might be somehow software related. I've tried a lot of different volume control apps but none of them work. Another HTC EVO owner had this problem with Hearing Aid settings set to 'On' but there aren't any Hearing Aid options on the wildfire.
Its a HUGE bummer not being able to hear people properly!!
HTC here in DK have accepted it as a flaw in the phone, so I'm sending it back to the internetshop where I bought it from for repair/exchange.

Uhm i guess you have rooted your phone and everything, I dont think they want to repair it cuz rooting stops your warranty. Or maybe im wrong xD
-Good luck

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!

Of course it is,its the fix(hopefully) for it
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.

a simple reboot ? a simple headache lol idk about u guys i dont want to have to restart my phone when i just got a call that i couldnt answer !! ..... is there any newer roms with the older kernel?? because i dont understand the whole kernel thing...
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.
The sound in my magic is not working on any ROM 2.1 that I install if I go back to 1.6 or 1.5 it does work. The notifications, alarms, etc.. work perfect but when it comes to receiving or making a call the sound doesn't work unless I turn on the speakerphone, the same thing happens with multmedia music if i play I song cant hear it unless I plug earphones.
Does this happens to anyone else? and/or know how to fix it?
Thankss!
you'll see my post as well.. i have the same problem..
Rooted fender mytouch, i haven't tried to go down to 1.6 or 1.5 ... im not sure what happened or why it happened? sorry i don't have a solution, i thought i would let you know that you're not alone.

Thanks for the reply, when I go down to 1.6 or 1.5 sound comes back so that's a kind of a solution but I really want it to work on 2.1 and not be stuck on 1.6 forever.
Let me know if you find a work arround.
I am having the same problem when running any version of CM 5.0.7. I have not tried any other ROMs.
Just another person letting you know that you are not alone.

It happens to me when running any CM from the first one that used 2.1 I also tried another non CM 2.1 ROM and had the same problem so it has to be 2.1 issue for us somehow. Hope we can find a fix for this soon.
sounds like I am in the same boat, but not even sure what to load or what to do to get sound back.
Speaker is the only thing that works, nothing else for me.
what SPL ya'll on?
Just to throw in my two cents to the mix, I was running CM 5.0.7 when my mytouch went down a couple of days ago, I went down into CM 4.2.15 thinking I was the new recovery I just flashed RA-1.7-cyan, but the sound worked, so I went back into CM 5.0.7 and havent had a problem with it after doing a clean install.
My SPL is 1.33.0004
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.

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.

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.

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

I have a CDMA Hero and it's rooted and running aospcm7 gingerbread rom. Before flashing a rom I always wipe data, cache, etc and they always start up fine. Yesterday I was listening to music and it just stopped making noise. Yes, I know you should adjust the min/max cpu speed so it doesn't start skipping. But this time it just stopped making noise completely. Music doesn't play, no volume from videos, ringtones, etc. Don't know if it is a system issue or hardware. Everything else works fine except for that, even the dial tones work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what the problem could be?
Thanks

Yup, switched to two different roms. But after much research on hero problems, it seems a blown speaker is common? If that is just the deal I'll just bring it to the sprint store to replace. And should I flash back to a stock rom?

Yes it is fairly common, and most Sprint repair centers have the part in stock. Takes 15 minutes to replace, and in my case, they did not even have to do a factory reset (lol, not that I cared, as there was no data to wipe!) I RUU'd just before I drove to Sprint and had my laptop with adb in the truck and a nandroid on my sdcard. However, for me, sound did not just stop abruptly, it just rapidly degraded in quality.
In my opinion, rerooting and restoring a nandroid takes just minutes, and eliminates any chance of Sprint denying you service. Also, running the RUU will confirm that the issue is hardware related, if you have any doubt. That's your call though, most people say that Sprint did not care that they were rooted.

When you say that the dial tone works, are you saying with the speaker on the back? Like speaker phone? And does music work with headphones? It is quite common for the speaker in the back to blow. I've heard that since hardware and completely not related to softwate, you don't need to go back to stock rom. Strongly suggest you do though. They may make a note that you have voided your warranty. And that is no bueno.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
Thanks for the help and info guys. It was weird because my nephew was listening to music on my phone with headphones, good thing that wasn't broken too, but then it started to play through the speaker for a bit. So I am guessing it is just a hardware problem. And never mind about the dial tones, guess the speaker was fuzzing in and out. But I will go into the Sprint store and let you all know how it goes.
Thanks again
Took it into a Sprint store earlier and everything is fine and working. Didn't have time to flash to a stock rom, but it didn't seem like they minded. They just replaced the speaker and called it to see if it worked. Thanks for the advice guys
