Help with sound - HTC Vox

Hi, im new, and a few days ago my Vox started to have problems with the sound, when i make a call im not able to hear anything from the ear piece, but if i activate the speaker, or connect a headphone then i am able to hear the calls, about two weeks ago i tried updating the rom with the official one that was released early this year, and it did help for a while, then the sound died again ; and remembered i saw this forum a while ago, so i was looking at the roms and installed the one for WM 6.1 from Dr Gonzo, and yet again, it worked for about two calls and the sound died again; anyone have any idea if it is a sotfware problem or a hardware problem or how to fix it? thanks

It sounds like it could be a hardware problem as my Vox has not had any problems with sound using the original HTC ROM that shipped with my Vox, the official HTC WM6 update, Dr. Gonzo's New Guava WM6 ROMS or his WM6.1 ROM.

Background noises overtaking conversation

Hi,
I bought a second hand imate K-JAM a couple of weeks ago and immediately upgraded the ROM to WM6 (BlackDiamond 2.0). Ever since, everyone I talk with tells me they can barely hear me - my voice is too loud and they can hear even the faintest background noises. Because I had just bought the device and upgraded the ROM - I can't tell the reason for this problem - is it a hardware fault? Is it a problem with the ROM? Maybe I should upgrade the radio version? Or is there perhaps a software setting solution?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Are you using any BT headset? That can cause some problems...if not try changing to original radio, or the radio of your service provider.

Thanks for the quick reply! No, the problem exists only when not using a BT headset...(When using a BT headset the sound is clear).
The question is what is the most probable cause to this problem? The ROM, the radio, a hardware issue? Has anyone else encountered such a problem? I would try changing the ROM but there is one piece of software that is tied to the current version, ID-wise.
Thanks again!
OK - tried upgrading to the latest radio version - and no change.
Is there any way to play with the microphone settings - sensitivity, volume, etc.?
Thanks!
You should first flash a rom from your provider before flashing a rom from this site.

Thanks for the reply. What I meant was that the new radio had no change to the sound issue.

no sounds not even dial tone

i have no sound on my keiser. over the last few weeks i have flashed a number of roms but now i have no sounds at all not even a dial tone. i have even gone back to the origonal orange rom but still no sound. has any one else had this problem and how do i fix it.

Download and install the Vodafone radio (it works on Orange too apparently) and maybe install a WM6.1 ROM first.
This should hopefully sort it out for you.
this should help you... No Sounds on Kaiser
fixed sound
it would appear to be fixed
have installed a new 6.1 rom with the radio that was suggested and well bugger me it works
thanks to the members of xda developers i have learned a lot and i am very grateful
cheers guys
No service error with 1.64 & 1.58 radios???
..That said I flashed to the WinMobile 6.1 ROM (Vodafone) with it's 1.64 radio but I got a 'No Service' warning (I'm T-mobile UK). I then tried the 1.58 radio, but again I got the same error???
I then flashed back to my own cooked ROM (OS WinMobile 6.0) with a 1.27 Radio and all is fine again.
I know that you can't use a new Radio Rom with OS WinMobile 6, as the phone freezes on boot up.. maybe I did something wrong?? (also there was no sound?)
Cheers
Ody
no problems here all working fine but i flashed the wm6.1 first then the radio after
Dial tone on a cell phone?????
sorry i mean ringing tone in the ear piece

Possible Speaker Phone tweak??

I have the 8925 and my friend has the HTC Kaiser and we both experience issues with the speaker phone while on a call...
There are times if we place a call on speaker while its still ringing before they answer, they complain that they cant hear us and only hear like every few words.. off speaker they can hear us fine...
Is this a known issue or is there some adjustment or tweak we can make or check to see if this improves..
8925 is running Schab Kaiser Rom
HTC Kaiser is running original rom from HTC
i've had complaints as well about my speakerphone, they say they can't hear me too well....apparently a lot of people have this problem. I don't think there's any fix out for this...I wish tho....i miss my speakerphone.
Problems with my speakerphone also. I have not found any fix.
I have been through 5 replacements (for various reasons), and all have the same issue.
I am facing the same problem with my HTC TyTN II. Even after using DuTTy's v4 RTM ROM, there has been no fix.
I request all the Chef's or experts who can look into this problem and revert a quick solution to this.

Nobody there...

Hello everyone,
I have the latest AT&T 6.1 ROM, downloaded from the HTC site for the Tilt. Here's a couple of problems that I have, that I can't get search results for.
1. VERY often, when a person calls me and I answer, I can't hear anyone on the other end! The same results when I make an outbound call as well. The device says that I'm connected to the other party, but I can't hear that.
2. When I AM actively connected, VERY often my bluetooth headset will just DECIDE to disconnect! Now, the DEVICE is still connected, but I have to either quickly put it to my ear to not miss what the other party is saying, or, I've noticed that if I push the multifunction button on the earpiece (Jawbone), it will reconnect.
Any help with these two issues would be appreciated. This has ONLY begun since I've installed the newest AT&T 6.1 ROM, which is supposed to be for the Tilt... which I have.
I'm REALLY frustrated...
Maybe try the original 6.0 rom and see if it still happens. If it does, and your phone is under a year, I would definitely send your phone in for warranty.
Jason
i have 3 words for you,
1-radio
2-radio
3-radio..................
try changing your radio and see if the problem persists, but i smell a radio problem behind all of this

did you do a hard reset? if not try that and see if that helps
Without a doubt an issue with your radio version. I had the same issues when I switched from WM6 to 6.1 - turned out my radio only worked w/ version 6 and caused my phone to only work half of the time.

You are Switching from a 6.0 to 6.1...it probably is a radio issue...just go to the ultimate radio thread in my signature and download a 6.1 radio and try it....it will only take a few seconds
the stock wm6.1 at&t rom that he loaded comes with a functional radio made for that rom so unless he flashed a radio that is for wm6 after he updated then yes its the radio
looks like Radio problem.. but if you install the ATT official rom you have allready one for 6.1 windows.. Like already say MSD24200
but try one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
i prefer the 1.65.24.36 NIKI Radio
you must select one of 1.65.xx.xx or 1.70.xx.xx
Comm Manager?

Bob,
I using the eOS 4.888 ROM on AT&T and I have the "silent call" issue too. It seems to have come up only in the past month or so. I'm on my 4th radio, currently a Polaris 1.59.42.23. The Polaris Radio seems to make the problem less frequent, but it is still there. My first though was this is an AT&T issue but there is a thread in the Kaiser General section about this, and posts in the Ultimate Radio thread that indicate the issue is occurring outside of the AT&T network as well.
The issue has been blamed on radios, ROM, and bluetooth, but in my experience with it, I'm thinking it might be Comm Manager related, but I don't know enough to know how the Comm Manager interacts with the radio/ROM to really be helpful.
I do know that the person who figures out the answer to this problem will make quite a few folks on this board very happy!!

Same Issue
I am having the same issue. I have the official 6.1 ROM from HTC on the att tilt. I flashed it on a friday and did not notice issues with not hearing the person on the other end when connected until a few days later. I looked at the ultimate radio thread according to that, I have the correct radio for my rom version:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
Could it still be a radio issue? Or something else?

It is not Comm mgr related as I have tried several to no avail, Also several 6.1 roms and several radios . No luck.
Hopefully a mod can combine this thread with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438457 so we can all work on this together.
Can't hear other party......
Did anyone find a solution to this yet? I have flashed all the compatable rabios with the tilt running the official wm6.1 from htc. And I am still making and receiving calls with not being able to hear the other party(as well as them not being able to hear me).
The main function of the tilt is a PHONE!
Hard reset after flash maybe?

It has to do with 6.1 . We are trying to pool all our information on one thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438457
Nika has reflashed to a 6.0 rom, and that appears to have eliminated the problem.
Again, if a Mod could merge these threads, we could all work togther on this.
Thanks.

If it is not radio, then it is a connection issue with your USB port. I had this happen to me and frustrated the heck out of me until I discovered that the tether that is inside the USB port on the device was loose, as if it was cracked. I must have done that while jabbing the stylus in it without using my glasses to soft reset. I discovered the issue by accident when the phone was plugged to be charged and i received a phone call. every time i wiggled the phone the conversation sound would get muted or interrupted. I ended up returning the Tilt to AT&T as a defective device and got a refurbished one that works. Test it and let us know.

HTC Magician bluetooth headset ?????

Hello guys, let me start by saying im a total noob when it comes to the ppc
I recently purchased a HTC Magician to use as a work phone, i use a bluetooth headset a lot so it was a good option for a work phone. After i purchased it i decided to install the latest rom by Cotulla, rom HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O4. It looks great, i like it alot, but the only problem i have is that i cant use my bluetooth headset reliably.
Its connected ok and does not drop out, but the problem is i cant hear people properly through the bluetooth headset, and im told they cant hear me either, its possible to hear that someone is speaking but not possible to understand what is being said.
After sifting through the threads here for days in the hope to find a solution, i could not find one and decided it might be wiser to just go back to wm 2003 se, which i hope has no problems with the bluetooth headset. Unfortunatly ive hit a brick wall with this option aswell, as it would seem all the threads ive looked at seem to point to links that are no longer available. So this leaves me with a phone that isnt able to be used for what i wanted it for
As i said at the start, i am a noob here so if im missing something here that i could do to solve this problem, could someone please point me in the right direction ?
Your headset is OK????
Hi!
I also use Cotullas latest ROM and i am also using my BT Headset without any problems and no "secret" settings.
Did you check your headset with a different phone? Maybe that´s the problem!
Cheers
Lui
Yea i used the bt hs on a dopod 838 pro, when i got the magician, i switched it from my dopod to the magician so i could use it for work. So i know the bt hs isnt causing the problem. And as ive seen some posts here about issues with bt and the Cotullas roms as being known problems, i naturally assume its the rom. But if its something else, then im all ears.
Just wont to get it working so i can use the phone with the bt hs.
As the imate site is down, and it sounds like imate might be going out of business due to some fraud problems. I cant seem to locate a rom with wm 2003 se, so i can try it to confirm if its the Cotulla rom, or something else.
Well im now trying t-mobile wm 2003 se, and so far the bt hs seems to be working great.
