I'm running CyanogenMod 7 - Typhoon 3.6.3 - Magldr and everything (from what I've noticed) is running fine except I'm experiencing rather strange problem with the sound where when I put the phone to silent mode, and back to normal, no sound can be heard (sms or calls)
I've tried several times to go back and forth between normal and silent but no go. The only solution I found is to reboot the phone which is kinda annoying due to often meetings and boot time.
Since I'm a noob here, I'm not allowed to post in the correct development thread :/ Maybe someone here can help?
Thanks.
Seems to be fixed
Okay, since my last post, I've upgraded to 3.6.4 and the problem seems to be gone - for now.
I've tried putting it to silent and back to normal and it's working fine. Will see in the next few days if it's gone for good.

I've had my unlocked Cingular 8525 for about 3-4 months now, and never really had a problem with it. At first it worked great, but recently more and more when i have it open to text and then close it the screen would get garbled and messed up, easy fix of just hittin the end call button a few times and it would clear right up. Well friday my phone apparently decides it has had enough of me.. It froze up. So as a fix all on my part i just ripped the battery out and put it back in, worked fine for a few seconds then froze again. So i thought maybe it was because i had so many text on my phone (over 8000 in my inbox and around 7300 in my outbox), so i started deleting all of those. After doing all that it continued to freeze and lock up in the middle of doing things. It has been doing it since friday morning now, and i have no idea what to do to fix it. It had all the original 8525 rom and os and everything on it, i just flashed to Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1 a few hours ago, and it worked perfectly...for like 45 minutes. Then it went right back to freezing all the time, when it freezes it doesnt have to be in standby, i could be writing a text, or clicking through a menu, or changing a setting, ANYTHING. I love the phone but idk what made it start doing this, i didnt change a single setting and i have never uploaded any programs or anything, just the stock progs from cingular and i uploaded a few ringtones. I have read that it could be the storage card, but it seems odd that it would just start doing it after the card i have has been in for months now (Sandisk2.0G). Idk what it could be, im at a loss..
ok guess my phone is just jacked then...
My old Alpine used to freeze up with TomTom (before they patched it to 5.21) because of the SD card problem, but I don't think it's related to the problem you're having.
It sounds more to me like a hardware problem - do you get any other symptoms exhibited by the handset when you get the freezing issue, or does it just happen without any warning?
Have you tried installing something like acbTaskMan to monitor your CPU usage and maybe log to a file to see if there's any excessive CPU usage before a freeze?
I just connected my earpieces (Creative EP-830) and entered the music tab. Then I started to play a song, put it in sleep mode and all of a sudden it starts to skip songs from 1 to the next but it's also fast forwarding every song! Also when I press pause to stop it, it just continues again over and over again when I press pause. Not only this, it also started to call people when I wasn't even touching it. It was just lying on my desk!
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks.
Installed HTC HD2 Music stability fix from HTC support page ?
I'll try it out and report the results thanks!
yo, any results by now?
if i connect other headphones than the stock ones, it occasionally calls the last number i dialed when i put it in my pocket with screenlock on (only when sense music player is active). >_>
too bad i can't recreate the problem since it only happens once in while, but its so annyoing.
could this be related to voicecommand? even when i disabled it, it sometimes reenables itself, when i put it in my pocket.
im running Miri & DINIK ROM v17 (awesome) btw, don't know if it is much of help.

The bug returned but after using the htc music fix again it worked as normal again. So you could say it's working.
Two days ago I had the same issue with my device.
Didn't know about the music fix, but i found the problem!
I changed all the audio-file associations with the help of coreplayer - with the result, that sense lost it's "files" ... with the same behaviour as you described!!!
another problem occured: None of the sounds were played ... after noon i saw that i've missed several calls, tasks, appointments and so on..
if hadn't recognized that, even the morning alarm would've been of no use!!
i was lucky having a complete systembackup - transferring it to mSD, double clicking and configuring some minor settings - and voila my system ran like nothing happened...
in short - it's probably a re-association problem of sense's services with the audio-formats! (yes, i tried uninstalling an rebooting! )
This is unbelievable... ever since SPV, the trash alarm seems to be the factory hallmark. I got the following problem:
- The alarm works if and how and when it seems fit (skips, starts later, every now and then it works right)
- Every now and again, alarm going off completely trashes phone (starts with alarm-like vibration but no sound, then completely freezes phone, needs reset)
This is like a Voodoo curse... I know the problem to be around since the first SPV's... I think they built the factory on burial ground or something... anyone got a good charm for it?
Forgot to mention: problem came with stock Orange ROM, recently flashed
RUU_Mega_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.28.479.4_Radio_Signed_61.41t.25.31_3.48.25.27_Ship
same problem.
Since I have got it (2 weeks ago) i have picked up my phone make a call, and on about 7-8 occasions, have noticed that the phone is turned off, and I can't get it to turn on. The only solution is to take out the battery and put it back in. Has anyone else experienced this. I have updated to JH2 firmware, but it still happens. I even got a new battery for the phone (Bell employee let me swap with another phone that was going back to samsung for gps issues), but the problem still happens once in awhile (like every 2 days, sometimes more sometimes less). Anyone have any ideas? thanks
More likely that it just "freezes" and you can't get it to react, then the solution is to take out and back in the battery - Sounds like a defective unit to me.
i think your phone was unable to wake? i have that problem previously where i can still call through my phone (using another phone) but there's no vibration / notifications of sorts.
i then realized i've been playing with SetCPU of late, long story short, i uninstalled the application, rebooted and all is fine since then.
good luck!
if it still persists, i'd do a reflash, wipe every bit of data available + formatting my SD cards. lol.

So..are you saying that the phone is actually still 'on'...just the screen is not turning on?
yeee sort of. lol. but why it's unable to answer, yet able to receive calls. i have no idea. same goes for any kind of notification that wakes your screen (SMS, calls, alarm, etc.)
Next time it happens, i'll try calling the phone to see what happens...I dont wanna return it because I have a 'rare' phone that seems to have good gps and can enter recovery mode.
you should check bell to see if there working and have recovery mode i got my just recently the newer shipments are hopefully all working with recovery mode and good gps
Did you install any Lockscreen app or something similar? I´ve read about another guy who had similar problems with a not waking up device. And it was a lockscreen app that caused this.
Yeah, I agree with everyone. I had SetCPU on my device and it would shut off a bunch of times per day. After I unintalled it everything worked fine. Another trick you can try is when the phone "freezes" try to hold down the home key. You sould still get the task manager box.
My first SGS did this a lot. My second and third SGS have not done this. Conclusion: faulty.
Yep...
I'm with mine for more than three weeks now, and I've never managed to cause it to freeze/shut down. although yours considerable rare, You'd rather have a working device I presume...

No, i haven't installed any apps like that. Like i said, GPS works 'ok' on this phone and it enters recovery mode. Thats why I would hope its a software thing and can be fixed. I will go back to get an exchange today ONLY if they let me try it out 1st (recovery mode).
I've had this happen twice, both times I was charging the phone with the screen locked and the cable was accidentally violently jerked out, after that my phone wouldn't turn back on without a battery pull. It has not happened of it's own accord though.
I have had my desire he for a week now.
Though everything is fine, I'm having problems with the sound. It was working fine before but after a day or two it would randomly stop. After doing a hard reset to set factory defaults the sound would then work again.
Today the sound has stopped working again...
What is causing this? Could the phone be faulty or is it an app causing this?
The sound was working fine this morning but now there is no sound whatsoever.
All installed apps were previously used on my HTC desire & HTC hero and never did I receive any problems.
Anyone else had any similar problem or what may be causing this?
I need an answer soon guys. I just spoke to vodafone customer services regarding the sound problem. They are saying it's faulty and needs to be repaired.
However I'm sure it does not need to be repaired as doing a simple factory reset will fix the problem.
Could an app cause this issue and stop the sound working?
When I make a phone call, the loudspeaker works fine...
Why is loudspeakers/phone calls working for sound but system sounds/alarms/SMS/music or even videos have no sound.
If I was to do a reset it would then work again.
Anyone have any suggestions before I return the phone for repairs?
Taking the phone in for repairs is the last thing I wanna do.
I know this won't help, I have had issues when the Bluetooth dropped off while listening to Music (A2DP). At first I was re-booting the phone and the problem was solved, then I decided to switch off/on my Bluetooth device and phone connection and it worked okay. However on a couple of occasions the phone has mysteriously gone into "Silent Mode" and I have no idea what caused it?
This is most strange, does restarting your phone also fix the problem or do you always have to do a reset?
I've not heard of this problem before...
Does the sound stutter before it goes off and does the phone lag at all??
I really couldn't tell you but I thought I'd respond anyway before you take it for repair..
Also have you tried setting all sounds to zero and then back to max again...does that work??
Wonder if volume locker app would stop this, or at least it should tell you if the sound settings have changed and then revert them back....just a thought.
hello guys just to confirm you are not the only one with that problem out there... restarting the phone works for me though try that! but yes its definetley a bug i have also had the proximity problem, wifi doesnt work and heep of other stuff so ill be returning the handset in the next couple days!
either way good luck with yours!

Thanks for your reply. I had to do factory default twice on it to get the sound back.
Funny enough just now I held down the power button to restart the phone.
It then restarted and the sound is now working!
I do not know if it will stop working again or how long it will take for it to stop working again.
I will keep you all informed.
At the moment all I can say is the battery is terrible.
It was 75% this morning and now it's around 25% and it's only been around 2 hours...
Do you find the phone to be laggy??

I did at first find it very laggy, especially when browsing through pictures, it was sluggish and would take ages to load the pictures.
Now, after enabling the USB Debugging setting, it was a smooth as butter.
Sound is still working! Battery is now 18% when it was 80% this morning!
And another person with the same problem.
I am helping my friend with his DHD and today he announced that his phone has a similar issue (and he says that the small speaker - for making calls - is working). He is on a stock rom, but his phone was originally from 3.
Do you know of any custom ROMs with sence which don't have this issue?
Do you think it would be a good idea to contact HTC about that - who tried?
Do you have fast reboot on? If you do try disablin that and do a restart of the phone. Maby that helps

Thanks for advice, but it didn't work . Even tried taking out the battery. Do you know if it's possible to monitor your hardware components in Android?
