[Solution] Robot voice issues - NAND Builds - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I believe I have found a fix for robot voice issues. I was playing arround with several builds and could not get it fixed. It did not seem to matter what type of build, sense / non sense / kernel was used, but randomly I would get robot voice.
I know this has happened to a lot of people but I think I have found the root cause and a temporary fix.
The problem seems to be stemming from the dial pad sounds. I noticed that before I heard the tone from the keypad there would be a weird click sound. Then the robot voice would appear. If you then tried to dial again it seemd to crash the phone.
To fix the issue simply go into Settings -> Sound and disable Audible touch tones. I disabled Haptic feedback as well but do not think this has anything to do with the sound. (May differ slightly on how to disable on certain builds)
After I have done this I have done multiple reboots and have not had any futher issues with sound.
Sorry if this has been posted before but I just wanted to let you guys know what I have found out

[Q] HD2 robot noise

Ok i hope this is the right spot, hope i made this a question as well.
I want to put android on my phone, well i have and i get that robot noise when i try to talk or someone calls me, but everything else is PERFECT. Just before this last update i tried out the other froyo android but it was buggy i deleted it i had problems getting sound to work on that one 2 but i fixed it buy flashing a different rom, but now i tried to flash miris v17 and it never goes trough when my phone is connected and everything stays at 0 percent. Anyone know which rom will work for me or what i can do to get sound to work instead of robots
my info for my phone is this:
OS 5.2.21892
ROM 2.13.531.1(90963) wwe
Radio is 2.10.50.26
eheheheh i got the sound to work i just did some snooping around
On the version I tried you have to launch the CLRD file first then run the Haret...I got the sound and everything to work but the only problem was that robot voice you are talking about it. It said if you flashed to a custom rom it would stop the robot voice..but I really don't feel like flashing my phone so i just took android off...I will revisit it once it gets a little farther along

phone call = unresponsive phone

okay so i've used the phiremod skinnyEVO1.5 and Mdeejay eVo Sense Stock and i've had the same problem with both. Whenever i make a phonecall/receive a phonecall, as soon as the person and i end the call my phone goes completely unresponsive. the screen goes completely black, and none of the hardware keys light up
the only thing ive found that can get the phone to come back 'to life' so the speak is to call the phone again and end the call on my phone with the end button.this doesnt always work though.
im running the Chunkydroidrom in WM and have radio 2_12_50_02
i even updated the kernel on the Mdeejay build and it still happens
is there anything that can be done to fix this?
please help me guys
different build, but same issue, nexus one by ummmmmmmmm matc forget which version. radio 2.15, wm chunky gtx sense with that CHT 2.0 i think..................
so far our windows mobile rom is the same cook, could be where to start im about to change my winmo rom
i just changed my windows mobile rom to ozdroid and im still having the same problem, and when i use the included bootloader i get robotic/froggy sounds in phone calls. maybe its not running clrcad correctly so ill try it the old fashioned way and see what happens
please
bump
can someone pleasee help?
good luck in finding help. Ive had some of the same issues i believe. My phone will completely freeze during a call for now apparent reason. it'll working fine in the call in the just freeze during my call. I tried different winmo roms that are suggested for droid builds. i believe i tried every radio available for tmo and about every build of driod and the problem is still there. It may run fine for a day then it starts freezing. I've posted a question about this yesterday and 97 people have viewed it and one person suggested i return the phone. I don't believe that its a hardware issue, more like a software issue. I guess i better learn how to pull the logs and then i may get a reply. i just haven't found a place that it explains it well enough for me to do it myself. My persistence will prevail though, cause I'm addicted.
Well please if you ever figure it out please let me know as this can get quite annoying
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Disable Auto-Rotate in the Settings>Display.
See if that helps.
I had the same problem. I have Advanced Task Killer installed and it was set to kill apps on screen off. I turned off the option to kill apps on screen off and so far it solved my phone call = unresponsive phone.
I have theese issues only if i have certain call recorder softwares installed .. try uninstalling them , and if nothing helps delete ur data.img and do a fresh start(u can back it up tho if it prooves unusefull)
@souljaboy
what exactly do you mean by certain call recorder softwares installed? such as which ones?
@JonSolo
i disabled auto rotate and i still experienced the problem during phonee calls
@mike91t
i changed my auto kill to every 4 hours, so i'll let you know what happens with that over the course of the week
Same problem here, I've turned off screen autorotate, and I don't have any task killers installed. Everything works fine, and even a call or two, then it stops working and audio during calls doesn't work, and phone app becomes unresponsive.
have you tried a different radio rom?! maye 2.14 will help.

well i waws thinking about changing to 2.14 but the android build im using recommends certain roms for best performance so i was going to keep using the radio rom and see if anything improved, so far i dont really think its working, so i might change to 2.14 because people seem to be having the less problems with it

[Q] [March 6] (Q) NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.3 intermitent Speaker

Hello all. I just downloaded NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.3 and ran it on my HTC HD2 and love the way it runs and looks. I previously had a Desire SD dual boot, which I HATED, but I wanted to try NAND. I REALLY love this, but when I make phone calls, I lose speaker sound and no call volume. If the screen flickers, it does this as well. I installed 2.08 HSPL, and everything seemed to run smoothly, but my only issue thus far and hopefully this is it is the sound issue. Robot voice at times. No ringer, no volume on received or dialed calls, alarms, etc.
Any suggestions on how to correct?
Again, I LOVE this, but this is the only issue I am currently experiencing.

Why do you start a new thread and didn't post your problem in the ROM thread ?
Hint: read first post in the NexusHD2 thread...text below known issues might help

[Q] Very poor call/voice quality

Hi all!
First of all i'm sorry for my english!
I think that a lot of people will agree with me that HD2 (with android) have many sound issues.
I may be patient with most sound problems, but not with microphone issue couse no one can understand me when talking with me.
My friends told me that they don't hear me clear, but i wasn't paying attention till i gave my phone to my friend for a week. When i called him i understood what are they talking about.
I heard him like FM radio with poor receptivity.
It feels like microphone is boosted to 100% and most of words aren't plain.
I tried to search the web and xda forum and didn't find any solution.
Someone in forum found issue with audio libraries in /system/lib (libaudio.so ; libcutils.so ....).
I tried to replace them with his files, but my rom was stuck on boot.
Does someone have similar issues? Knows how to repair? Something?
Unfortunately I have experienced robot voice both on Pongster's CM7 v1.0 & GBX v8.0 roms.
So, I tried gpc hd2 gb v2.0e rom which was released on March 9, 2011.
Absolutely NO robot voice & high mic gain from the 1st boot on two hd2s(tmous Leo 1024, Radio 2.15.50.14) in my home.
I didn't neet to turn off audible touch tones in sound settings.
Hopefully it will work for you too, mate!

[Q] System goes crazy when receiving a phone call

hi all
i have been using nand android builds since day one , and in most of the builds i am having this same issue
sometimes when i receive a phone call the system just hangsout and then gives me a force close msg for the phone application !!
either way , if i force close or not , no further phone calls can be answered and the phone will freeze for about 30 seconds with every call
also when this happens the volume buttons wont modify the volume for the media anymore and the phone wont give any sounds
so is there something i can do to get rid of this ?
i tried android builds based on 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 , miui , sense , no sense , and i have this issue with all of them
again , it happens like 10% of the times
hope i get an answer to this
I want to ask what exactly rom are you using (does it use newest tytung r10 kernel?) and tell you that I have not been experiencing these issues with NexusHD2 2.8 rom (2.3.4).
fpu
i tried typhoon , rafdroid , ndt miui , and plenty more and i think typhoon and ndt miui has the latest kernel
have you ever tried receiving a phone call while the camera application is running
this seems to trigger the issue many times , not always tho
if you have the call recorder running turn it off. it was causing me lot's of problems.
Hi,
I have the same problem.
No matter what kernel.
Already hardresettet and reinstalled everything. Radio, Magldr, Rom, you name it.
I even did format 10 (or what ever it's called)
Anyone else experiencing this?
Will get a logcat later.

+1 Same ****...
Are You using Magldr? I had that problem with mag. Than i switched to cLK. and im okay.
I just recieved a phonecall without problems.
Flashed the .12 radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787&highlight=radio
however... My rom feels a bit slower now.
I am playing with it now.
Maybe clearing Dalvik cache will help. Or the issue comes back... Will see.
Got the same problem, tried different ROM's but no result. I'm thinking already to switch back to WM 6.5 :\

Switching Radio to something.12 did the trick for me.
No problems for two days now.

Yes that's it. Works fine for me
Mea culpa just today I had the same issue, for first time.
It's nothing major and reboot made it work fine again, but breaks my belief in HD2 as perfect, native-like Android device.

Beside changing of radio, THIS seems to be interesting.
I'm on MAG but considering switching to cLK (for many reasons - fastboot support being one, second that I don't need 99% of MAGLDR features).
Let's see how it all pans out ;-)
fpu
It just happened again! On the new rom... :/
There is a thread, however, stating that it's due to skype.
This can very well be true.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164058
but I need skype to stay on contact with my girlfriend... why can't android support skype natively instead of sipthings? -.-
Well still... anyone tried clk (instead of magldr) and skype?
Disable "Audible touch tones". It's under Sound in Settings, it did the trick for me.
I thought this was against robot voice?
well what ever. let's give it a try. Thx
In my case, first call after reboot always had the robot voice. To fix it I'd just hang up and call again. But lately on non-Sense ROM's, the first call would go with robot voice and then I would get Force close on the phone app. This fixed it for me.
BTW I have T8585 Leo with 2.12 radio.

For me recieving a call does nothing but a very bad noise. hd2 nearly freezes after that. I cannot hang up most of the times. If I somehow manage to, phone app forcecloses and connection cannot be reestablished until I pull out the battery...
Good old Robotvoice. I wish that was my problem.
i have switched to cLK about 3 days ago and till now i have got no problems at all
