Soft Reset every 5 minutes and other problems with my Orbit 2 - Touch Cruise General

Hey..
I´m new in here and I hope you can help me..
I have a new HTC Polaris since 2 weeks..
Its from O² so its the XDA Orbit 2..
I have many problems with it.
1. Every 5 Minutes it proceed a Soft Reset. I have tried many Roms but its the same at all of them.
2. My Microfon is so low that when I call somebody he can´t understand me.. He don´t hear anything. Only if I talk closely to the Microfon he can hear me a little bit.
3. The internal Speaker doesn´t work. So if somebody call me he don´t hear me and I don´t hear him.
PLS Help me..
At the moment I test the WM 6.1 Beta from bepe
Thanks a lot!!

flash the original O2 ROM on the phone and send it back for a replacement.

Do you think thats the only way?
I thought I can do something else except of this..
Thank you for your answer...
Some other ideas??

no, i don't think that will fix it. i can't tell from your post if you flashed a custom ROM and then had problems or if you had problems and then flashed a custom ROM. soft resets every 5 minutes is not normal. if i had the same problem before i flashed a custom ROM, i would have returned it by now. the phone is too new to be spending weeks trying to resolve issues.

SPEAKER ALWAYS ON!! PLS HELPPPP

hey I upgraded to the latest rom for improvements with my Camera.... (my camera was very bad.. couldn't take clear pics at nite.. had to be in broad day lite... O2 claims 1.3MP but all the pics are pretty blury nite or day)... anyway after the upgrade camera is still as S* as it was before the upgrade... but the new problem is that my phone doesn't hang up at times.... i read few other forums about peolple reporting the same problem... but noone seems to give any suggestion to remove it or may be degrade to the last rom.... pls ADVICE...
[PLS HELP ANYONE)>>>>>>>>
PLS ANYONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO>
MY LAST BILL WAS OVER $400 Coz my phone was on few hrs on an international call.. PLS HELP ME OUT>... I KNOW THERE r lot of smart people on here who know what to do.. pls help me out.
hey guy
i forgot to mention that after the rom upgrade i even downloaded microsoft voice command software.... does it have anything to do with it.
sayadil: given you've wasted pretty much the cost of the phone, why not just hard reset and try again? VC has the freaky ability to switch on the rear speaker, so I hear, so that's very likely something to do with it.
Try VJOkButt with -phone and see if that helps. That bugger ends calls we don't even want it to it seems

hey
hey i tried doing everything. I recently Removed VC and i even did the restart.. hard reset... same problem.. can't hang up on few calls.. then i have to manually change the radio to off and then back on for it to work... pls some one help as this problem is getting so annoying...
HELP ANYONE READING THIS<< I HAVE LOOKED THROUGH FORUM
hey i got that working with the same progrm.. thanks... i don't know if you read my thread ... but i'm having a big big problem... my phone sometimes doesnt hang up a call... i mean i press the red off button and it seems like the call is off... but call is still on.. my recent bill was over $500 And this problem started when i upgraded my rom from 1.10 to 1.11 original O2 rom version. I even downloaded Microsoft Voice command with the new rom. So one of the person told me to remove VC coz it had lot of bugs... after doing that... i still had the problem... so what i did was.. i installed a new rom version 1.13 (imate) and hard reset the whole phone... and guess what? i still have the problem.. now i'm thinking may be there's a file in my phone which is causing all this.. may be by restoring the windows mobile 2k3 something changes... but dont know how to reload the windows. pls help coz this is very disturbing....
Did you also try to solve it by changing the radio version (1.11 , 1.12 , 1.13) not only the rom version ???
hey
hey yeah both the ROM as well as Radio Version... does anyone know how to restore windows mobile to the factory ... pls help out its a big problem... thanks
Press and hold Power button+Camera button and at the same time press with the stick at the soft reset hole.

Intermittent problem with sound during phonecalls. Please help! :(

The symptoms: SOMETIMES during incoming phonecalls Raphael rings (plays sound) but when I pick up the call, suddenly the phone sort of "mutes itself". I can't hear the person talking, nor can they hear me, even if I hang up and try later. The only thing that helps is a soft reset.
It's difficult to count the occurence, but I'd say like once a day at least.
I have already tried Hard reset, the phone is acting funny with only Advanced Config 3.1 and PHM RegEdit installed and a few tweaks applied (just Boost TFL3D performance tweaks and SMS conversation disabled)
I'm running stock 1.90.401.1 WWE FW, I have flashed a new radio version (1.02.25.31 Cingular) though.
Any advice/suggestion is appreciated.
Unless the new radio is giving you 3G, I'd go back to the stock ROM/radio combination and see if that works. I'm currently using the Cingular ROM/radio as well and I've never run into these problems, but that may be due to different hardware.
Thank you very much for a quick reply.
I'll try flashing the stock radio and will report back...
So, I flashed the original radio and it seemed for a while that the problem was gone.
Sadly, I must report that the problem is persistant as I had to restart my phone right now. When the "sound mute" thing happens I don't hear anything while answering phone calls (even though the phone rings normally!) and also when I try calling any number from my contacts including the operator hotline.
I really don't want to return the phone because I like it very much but having a phone which has problems with phone calls is kind of silly.
I'm at my wit's end.
Will anyone help me please?
I have a small update - today I was so desperate, that I tried flashing a custom ROM (namely DCS-TouchPro-v1.0 Hybrid) and the phone went bonkers right at the first incoming call. However, something IS different - now the phone is not silent but starts "buzzing" - making a long uninterruptible sound that lasts until reset.
Do you think I could have a HW problem?
I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM!!!
I already posted a message in the "Issues" post of the Raphael Forum, but apparently no one had the same issue so far.
I did many hard resets (and installing gradually less things), it still bugs.
Currently the only tweak installed is the scorpion one to have 4 rows of icons in a menu.
My Raphael is behaving like this since 1 week. The bug occurs once or twice a day as well.
Anybody with some good IT experience has got an idea of what could be wrong with it?
Do you think it is more software related or hardware related?
Today it also crashed badly (grey doted screen and noway to make it work again by turning off. Had to soft reset).
PLEASE DO HELP US, because I'm using the phone for professional reasons and I'll really have to send it back if it keeps on bugging this badely!!!
I just sent a message to HTC Support.
Let's see what they say.
I'll post their response so those who have the same problem will know what to do.
Oh boy, I must say I'm glad not to be the only one with this problem, even though I never wish bad things to anyone.
While googling the problem, I found a few Diamond users with exactly the same symptoms, however most of them solved this by exchanging the device for a new one, so this won't help us much...
Me too, I was wondering if it was because I did something wrong with the phone...
But if I'm not the only it means that there is a problem with the phone itself.
Anyway I'll wait for the official answer from HTC...
I'll post their answer as soon as I receive it.
I'm actually quite curious what their answer will be.
But I wouldn't hold my breath for any miracle, so I'm preparing to send my phone to the service center to have them look at it...
Well.. that makes 3 of us then
at first i thought my symptoms are different, but Flippy confirmed they're identical.

I have to correct myself - I wrote that when the thing happens, the phone still rings, which is not true. It rings just the first time before the problem occurs, but then it's dead silent.
So it seems our symptoms really are exactly the same.
Told ya AntiProxy!
So we are indeed only 3. It is still ok, it means that there is only a very small proportion of of Touch Pro that have this problem.
Now let's only wait HTC's answer...
spoke to HTC support today.
not that i expected them to figure it out or have a solution at hand, but i figured what the heck.. give it a shot.
their solution?
hard reset.. the guy would swear by his daughter that a hard reset will solve it.
i just thanked him and hung up.. *sigh*
don't you just hate it when techsupport's solution to everything is a reboot or reformat.. when you know that's not the solution anyway!
Well, I tried already doing the "Clear Storage" through the settings -> system panel, but it still has got the same problem.
I'll give them a call aswell to see if by any chance I can get on the phone 1 person who will be able to provide us a better technical advice
Hard reset won't help, I've already done it like dozen times and it makes no difference...
I tried flashing the phone to the stock 1.90.405.1 ROM and so far (a day and half) I have NOT encountered the problem. It is too early to start hoping, but I wanted to let you know - if you don't mind flashing your phone, give it a try.
Zillator, can you keep us posted for like 1 week?
If in 1 week the phone doesn't present again that problem I'll flash it as well (I didn't want to flash it because I wasn't sure if it could void the warranty). If during 1 week you don't have the problem again it'll mean that out initial ROM was defective...
Thank you Zillator and please let us know. (by the way when I'll call them tomorrow I'll ask them if flashing the ROM to a newer stock version voids the warranty).

AntiProxy, it might be a bug in the ROM we have in our machines. That's why maybe flash it could be the solution. Nevertheless I'll ask about the warranty tomorrow when I call them and let's see how it goes to Zillator.
If his phone doesn't bug for 1 week, there might be a big probability that the problem came indeed from our ROMs.
Guys, don't worry, I WILL keep you updated. I know how much the problem bothers me, so if there's anything I can do to help you, I will definitely do it.
In the end, that's why we are here - to help each other...
AntiProxy: is your stock ROM 1.90.405.1 WWE? Because mine was different (1.90.401.1 WWE) and I had the problem. Maybe Flippy_TK is right and the problem only exists in the 401 ROM.
I'll continue testing and we'll see...

Anyone else have these problems?

I have had my fuze for about a year now, and recently people cannot hear me when I call them. If they call me they can hear me just fine, but not if I make the call.
Another thing is that i have a problem with the tf3d interface crashing. It usually crashes at least once every 2 or 3 days and a maximum of about 3 times per day.
I would note that I am using the stock ROM and using WinMo 6.1. The only changes i have made are theme applications.
Does anyone else have either of these problems? Does anyone know if there is a way to fix them? I am going to the ATT store soon and hopefully they will just give me a new one lol
Thanx!
You know the drill....
Soft reset - test, hard reset - test.
I know its a pain in the a$$ but its always the start point!
I have been experienceing the same problems as well. What is volume level at in Windows Meadia Player? Some times I have to have the volume in wmp at 100%, for the other person to hear me on the other line. Manlia runs so slow on the stock rom that I do not even use the UI. It is probley not crashing but takeing forever to load.
Most stock ROMs are horrendous anyway, hardSPL and flash I say!
thanks for all your input. i dunno how many times i tried resetting, both hard and soft. the soft reset was usually the fastest way to fix it when touchflo crashed. with regard to WMP: 100%. i have no idea how that is relevant but an interesting find. I more or less ran out of options since this phone is my lifeline so i filed a warranty claim. should have the new one in a few days! w00t! hopefully this one works better

Wish you'd said you had tried various resets, please remember we can only help you based on what you tell us.
Also, the TF problem is almost certainly software, and the call problem (IMO) is 98% sw also (the hardware works - you said if you call out everything is good) - so you may well run into the same issues again.
Sorry to give you bad news, and i hope your new phone works - but i honestly think most of your problems were software related, so they may not be (custom rom might be the answer!)

Honestly, if you haven't rooted or done anything to your phone I would go to a store tech and have them look at it. Not much we can do here for you.

Vibration problem

Ok.. I have a "little" problem.. I had my Nexus 5 for 2 weeks, and today it stopped vibrating.. I tried reflashing google images, switching roms, nothing worked.. Also the vibration testers wouldn`t work too.. Do I need to go to RMA ? I`m dissapointed.. Now 2nd question.. How can I clear that counter so that I can still have my RMA valid
