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.

well... so far i'm loving my tmobile mda after i've updated to the imate kjam rom (aku2) and of course readded some tmobile customizations and other tweaks..
anywho..
i noticed an alarming problem and wanted to see if others have had this problem or if its specific to my device and setup.
i tried calling a pal last night (he has a landline) and received a busy signal tone. After i hung up, i went back to watching my tv shows i have on a miniSD in Media Player 10 on my mda. The video played fine but the sound no longer played. Checked out TCPMP and same problem, no sound.
Then went into my system settings > Sound Notifications and again, no sound at all.
did a soft reset, sound is back. So i tried calling pal again to get the busy tones; got busy signal and again lost all sound.
So is this a WM5 bug or have i done something to mess up my busy signal tone? i have not done any sound related tweaks (before my last hard reset i did the microphone boost hacks but decided on not doing that this time around)
peace
I haven't had the busy=no sound but I have had the no sound after less than a day on standby--do a soft reset and it's back until who knows when--I have posted this issue but no one has responded yet in both this forum and another one--I have even googled the issue and still can't figure it out--This only started after I installed the latest ROM. Any one have an idea as to why this is happening? It's very annoying to have to reset my handset every day as well as not know when the sound will go out thus missing an important call. Much help would be VERY appreciated!!
BTW I have no 3rd part apps installed
I have the same problem
HELP !!!!!!
weard thing:
When I call to myself, (only to test the busytone) all sounds dropps after hung up. The only solution until now, to get it going are by a softreset,
BUT, if I do a call to another number after hung up, all sounds are back!!!
Without doing softreset!!!
So seamonkey420 could you try this and report?
Hello,
i seriously need help.
Until this morning, my X1 worked. Over the last few days I was playing around a bit with various TF3D options, etc. I should note that I did not touch the ROM.
Then suddenly my phone gave no sound anymore.
No audible resonse to a stilus click on the screen.
No sound from FM radio.
No sound from phone (neither ring nor can I hear the caller).
(Vibra alarm works when activated though)
When switching to speakerphone I hear a very soft static crackle when doing the switch. Just as if the speaker is turned on. But then - no sound at all.
No microphone function on phone (caller cannot hear me).
No sound via headphones on phone.
No sound via headphones on MP3 playback.
Everything else appart from sound works. Even the phone can make a connection when calling - you just hear nothing.
I tried a soft reset. Nothing - still no sound.
Then I tried a hard reset:
Obviously the hardware of my speaker is ok. Because when I make a hard reset, there is the "pling" sound to inform me, that I should calibrate my screen.
Then there is another "pling" when the message appear, asking if I want to get the automatic provider settings updated.
But afterwards - no sound at all in the whole phone.
Then I went to update the ROM, thinking I might have (no idea how, but you never know) done something to audio drivers. I replaced my German T-Mobile ROM with the prepared German ROM without branding from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
But still - same result as above.
Anyone got any idea?
Really nobody having any helpful comment?
did you try to change the radio??
I flashed a whole new ROM - same problem persists.
Besides: It´s not a Radio problem because system sounds and MP3 playback don't have any sound either.
Stating the obvious
Sorry to state the obvious but it sounds like the connection or the speaker module has gone. Have you recently tried the head phones on the X1? please see below link for a possible reason.

excersise your right to return

Hello Creamy-Goodness,
thanks for you input.
If there was somewhere a hardware switch for sound output to speaker or headphones (which I doubt) that is stuck, it would not explain why I have neither sound in speaker NOR headphones. (One would assume that depending on the position of the switch at least one of the two should work.)
Apart from that I only tried the headphones to troubleshoot the problem after I found out there was no sound.
Nevertheless interesting, that this happens to other devices.
Speaker module cannot have gone either. There is an audible system sound from speaker right after hard reset to inform me that I need to calibrate the screen - but no sound anymore afterwards.
I will try to have the device swapped next week.
reg. sound issue
I'm suffering from the same problem here.
it only freggin vibrates.

Click to collapse
Usually there is a simple fix which involves replacing a DLL, but not in this case of course - unless that ROM includes the bad DLL. I seem to remember it was a problem which occured after installing TF3D, but I couldn't find anything when searching just now.
It might be worth you checking the ear-speaker sound (make a phone call), as there is always the possibility that sound is being re-directed or intercepted (by something like Troca2). Check what programs and services are running.
Tests should be done with a known-to-work-fine-ROM of course.
Okay, I finally got the original ROM to flash the X1 back.
And strangely - when after one week of not using it I turned it on again to flash the phone, I got my sound back.
I have absolutely no idea what happened and why, but I am glad that I do not have to send it back.
@k_ash82
What I did is:
Turned my X1 off (not just stand-by), really off.
Waited one week.
Switched it on again.
I had my sound back.
No idea why, but maybe that works for you as well?
Just try it and please post your experience.
It would be very kind of you to share the german t-mobile stock rom with the community . Perhaps it could be added to "Xperia ROM and Guides" Thread, too.
I have no sound sometimes with this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460190.
After switch off and turn on the phone again the sound is back.

i have original sony rom (no branding) and also the same problems
no sound after a while (sometimes when phone goes in standby, sometimes just without a reason)
cannot play any sound in no application (media player,core player,etc) also the phone ringing or sms sound is off.
but the most annoying thing is, i can make a call, the call goes through, but I can hear nothing from the called person.
sometimes it works when i switch of the phone and restart, but sometimes I have to do 4 or 5 restarts.
the phone is now 1 week old, an I haven't installed Touch3D or anything like that, because I made hardreset and left the original configuration on factory settings, just to make sure, that it's no software error.
anyone got a solve for this problem actually?
if I ask google, there are many people with this problem, but no solve found till now
i have an issue with the speaker too but not exactly the same as the one described above.
my speaker still plays sound but it is about 10% of the original volume when it is already set to loudest (you have to put your ear right next to the speaker to hear the sound)
after i re-flashed the rom, it worked normally for about half a day until the problem returned
can anyone please help??
i keep missing my calls ><
thanks
this is a well known issue on some X1 phones ! you cant fix this with any software-update because it is hardware related. some x1 phones have it like every 2 weeks, others 3-4 times a day. most of the time you can just reset your phone but this is not a solution.
you have to send it back to SE in exchange for a new one.
i called my provider (o2) and they delivered a new x1 _on the next day_ in exchange (they have a 48 hrs delivery/pickup/return service).
the new phone works just fine !

I've been noticing the following strange behavior:
Sometimes the in-call volume is just too loud. Even on the minimum volume setting someone standing a couple of meters away from you will still perfectly hear the conversation. This only happens when receiving a call, never (as far as I can tell) when making one.
If during the call I switch on and then off the speaker, then the volume goes back to what it should be.
Has anyone noticed this before? Workarounds?
Yes, I've noticed this.
Always does it when it has been connected to a headset.
I seem to remember it went away when I installed the Modoco rom...
Mine still does it with the Modaco rom
@squirreleater: Thanks for your reply. It is just as you say
@both: Do you know if the latest HTC firmware fixes this issue? I know, I know, but I can't find the time these days to upgrade and find for myself
I`m on the latest MCR and it still does it. Its really P*****G me off now. I hate to take a call because of it.. Surely more people than us 3 are seeing this?
Yup, same thing for me although I've never noticed a difference between receiving and making calls (will watch out for that now). Quietest setting is still ridiculously loud. I'm on MCR 2.6 but have noticed on other roms as well.
I've noticed this too, but seems as though when I press volume up, it starts working again and allows me to lower the volume.
I can confirm that your workaround is just fine. Thanks.
So if i press volume up then down it will go quieter?
I will try this next call i get...
I am getting this same problem ... thanks for the tip I will try it.
I just noticed this. but after having my hero for like over a month. Could have appeared when i installed like 3 games yesterday but cant see why games would cause that to happen. but yea the workaround of increasing then decreasing the volume works. and it only happens when i receive the call. strange...
I didn't see any reports of this here or elsewhere but I'm having some mixed problems with connecting to incoming phone calls. Sometimes there's a ~5 sec delay before I can hear the other party or they can hear me. Just total silence.
This happens whether the phone is locked (stock slider) or unlocked. I don't see anything odd running and the delay seems independent of applications such as waze or whatever running in the background. Maybe it's a CDMA thing but I had a similar problem with my old vogue a while back with a rom I had flashed and I seem to recall it was a "known" issue and subsequently was fixed soon after.
Any suggestions? I'd really rather not have to re-build the phone today...
Thanks!
Bill
I've noticed the same thing, as well as sometimes I am unable to answer the call at all. For me, it seems more prevelant when the stock slider tries to answer. Hopefully someone knows the solution because I've Googled this and haven't seen anything yet.

Me too! When I installed PointUI (android theme), It's run very good and smooth. But I don't like it. I uninstalled PointUI then I can hear the sound when have an incoming call.
I don't know how to fix this. I installed shipped Rom and now ok
Hi.
Im using the NotSoStock Rom. I know its an old, no longer supported rom. but i need notifications, so i needed a stock rom so the second screen would work. granted an led light would be prefered, but i was too stupid to think about that before buying lol.
Anyway, so on this rom there are some really weird, annoying things going on. First, the speakerphone. Now, when playing music or a video the speaker sounds fine (loud enough for me anyway). But when im on a call and use speakerphone, there is literally NO difference. I dont hear the person louder AT ALL. I can only assume its in this rom and not a problem with the phone itself.
Also, and this is probably even more annoying. When i make a call, i cant do anything else. I cant hit the home button, pulldown menu, etc. nothing else works. So say im on a call with someone and they reference a text from earlier. I cant back out of the in call screen to open the text app and see the message. This is a major issue for me.
Maybe i need another rom. But i havent seen much in the way of stock roms for vs995. any help would be greatly appreciated. tia
