Can someone give me help

Couple of things:
a. if the device still works but you cannot see anything, I would suggest for you to make a backup of all your stuff via ActiveSync (considering that you will not be able to do it with any program in the device.
b. Have you tried to soft reset the device? It might sound like a silly suggestion, but I do not know whether you tried this or not so I am obligated to ask
c. If SR does not work, you could reflash your device to the rom that you are currently using (or to another one). Whenever this kind of things happen, it is best to reflash back to stock and then go back to whichever rom you were using.
Hope this helps...

Sadly wrong section but you already knew that..
I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, but the problem has persisted by itself.. I don't know what fixed this, but im guessing this is a hardware fault that fixed itself, i mailed HTC about this and they asked me to send it in for repairs, and im guessing it has to do with the G-Sensor...
Recalibrating didnt fix it for me..
Yeah calibrated the G-sensor many times no luck, so you didn't something special which ROM do you use so I will install it too, please if you think that you did something else pm me I really can't stand this and thank you for your reply , and I am sorry for posting it here but I needed help ...

Nope, i tried recalibrating 10-15 times, nothing worked, i tried reflashing different roms, fixing permissions, cleaning cache, full wipes with different scripts, flashed new radios and recoverys..
Then one day everything just fixed itself, my brother was playing and calling with my phone, and when i got it back, it never behaved like that again...
I think its something hardware related, and if you're lucky it will fix itself, otherwise i would try reflash the phone with original 1.32base rom and check if the problem is still there..
If it is, send it in for repairs..

Try disableing flip for speaker in call settings on an htc rom and then flash your rom and see if that problem stays...if so conect phone to adb and log when you get a call or if you have log.txt in sd send it to me and i will identify problem for you
Oki guys i've learned from my experience if wiping, flashing a new rom Etc. Doesn't work then the last option is too install an ruu.
The issue you I had is my touchscreen became total unresponsive, no what matter what I done the issue was still thier. But a friend suggested I should install an ruu (1.32) which solved the issue.
edit:http://iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs
Good luck and report back.

I had the same issue a few weeks back, it was caused by a call recorder app, but I've heard other apps can cause this to happen too. A friend of mine had the same problem, I removed some of her apps and the problem went away

I think Car Home is causing my problem , so when you enable Car Home the speaker phone is activating by itself , tried to uninstall but no changes , because every time I install a new Rom the first thing that starts is Car Home then the Setup Wizard , only on CM7 doesn't start at the beginning but after first reboot Car Home starts the first and the issue of speaker starts again ok I will try 1.32 and report thank you all for helping me thanks a lot

remove carhome.apk from rom.zip before flashing
The problem is caused by some pin in your usb charger. Maybe a carcharger.
Trying cleaning the mini usb on your phone where you put in your charger.
Or plug in your charger to your phone and try to move it a little bit and remove it. Do this a few times. This will also remove some dust.
This worked for me. It has nothing to do with a program but your carpanel will load indeed. Your device thinks it is in car mode or something.
I hope it will help for you.

I had the same problem on my old Desire and now I had it a few weeks back on my DHD? First time it just went away. But on my DHD I had to do it with the unplugging and cleaning solution. It came back after a couple of days but with the same solution it worked again. Now I don't have the problem anymore.

[Q] [SOLVED] 'Hello hello'/Other side cant hear me properly

Hello XDA-Developers Forum
Since a week or two i got this annoying problem. When i call someone (or answer an incoming call), I can hear the other side clearly but they can't hear me. When i call my mum's phone to test it, and when i put the 'speaker' of hers on, and i shout at my own telephone, i can just hear a little whisper on my mum's phone speaker. Flashing an other ROM didn't seem to work. Also in Voodo Control, setting all settings to default didnt work..
Maybe someone else has experienced this too, and can help me with this?
I know flashing a stock ROM would maybe fix the problem but i dont know how that works.. There are like 10 stock ROMs to choose from; What one to pick?
EDIT: I've flashed to a stock ROM. Nothing changed. Problem not solved :l
83 views but no replies.. Come on guys, help please..
Sounds like a possible hardware issue. I would contact your carrier for warranty
Bad luck!
Flashing stock ROM next week and will contact the customer service..

If your fone is more than a year old.
If you don't have any warranty left, you can try this.
Open your fone, find the contacts that connect the microphone module to the motherboard. Clean it with alcohol, make sure they are in contact. Turn the contacts the other way slightly (eg, if they are at 30deg, make them 32deg.) assemble everything again. Or just give it to a professional.
I had same issue with my antenna. i used to get ZERO reception. i opened the fone, cleaned the contacs with alcohol, i got about 50% reception. i saw the surface was eroded so i colored that area with graphite pencil (don't ask why) and finally i got 100%. I know some may say its a ridiculous method. but it worked for me.
Try increasing the volume on your mums phone and test on someone elses phone as well to see if it's a problem with yours or your mums phone.
title
yes, try every possible combination, use different sim on your fone, call other fone for testing, put somebody elses sim in your fone, try talking thru headset etc. try everything. although i have a feeling he has already tried all that. but just to make sure before you take your next step.
PROBLEM SOLVED! There was just a lot of dirt in the 'pipe' thing of my mic

[Q] screen issues

just wondering if anybody can help me, ive had my phone back from orange/ee repair twice now only for it to develop the same problem yet again, ok so the phone is completely factory standard, i make folders on my home screen with various apps in each and i can access each folder properly, i then turn the phone off when i go to sleep at night and put it on charge, when i wake up in the morning i unplug the phone, turn it on and let it wake up, i then try to access the folders i created and cant when i touch them, this is the part that confuses me, if i touch above the folders i can then access them, if i put another app above the folder and try to open that it will only open the folder below, please could someone enlighten me as to what may be causing this, thankyou
This is only a guess so don't shoot the messenger
Try;
Go to Menu - Settings - Language & Keyboard - HTC Sense Input - Advanced. Then choose either Calibration Tool or Reset calibration
It's meant for text input but ya never know!

HI brother ...
Well, it seems like a firmware problem, to avoid some stupid preactions, throw the phone to Orange repair group, and see if they can fix it.

i know what you're saying mate, but its been for repair twice already and come back with the same fault both times, dont you think throwing it back at them a third time would be taking the iss a bit?

Hi brother ...
Personally, i don't know how to fix it, but, as i told you it seems a software problem, if you don't wanna take it back, just try some custom ROMS or try to install International version of One S Software using RUU, this i guess may solve the issue .
Cordially.
"IF I HELPED YOU HIT THANKS BUTTON PLEASE ! "
.
yeh im starting to believe it is a software issue now, i spoke to the chap in the ee shop yesterday and he said he is going to get in contact with his area manager and push to get my phone replaced because he agreed that this was unacceptable, so fingers crossed I'll hopefully have a new phone in the next couple of days. i was considering rooting and flashing a custom rom but really didnt want to because obviously it wouldve voided the warranty, i'll let you know how i get on in a few days, thankyou for taking the time to reply and try and help :beer::screwy:

Trble Shoot: I can not receive text msgs!! Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919N

Good morning,
A lifelong friend of mine directed me to your forums. My Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919N will not allow my text messages to come through until I make or receive phone calls. The phone calls somehow push the texts through.
At this time, I have deleted all apps, removed battery & SD Card & reinserted, & next did a factory reset, none of which have resolved my issue. I have looked all through my device settings & text settings...I just don't see anything that would help fix my problem. PLEASE HELP!!! Ready to make my phone aerodynamical any moment!
Thanks,
Kimmy
(I did try and sift through some other posts & do some research, if anyone can point me to an earlier discussion where I may get some pointers it would be greatly appreciated!)
I had this similar problem before and I have theories about it
1.) your phone is in airplane mode
2.) you're using a custom rom and that caused the bug
I actually have a lot more but i think these two are mainly the reason.
if your phone is in airplane mode you should turn it off and it should work normally and if you are using a custom rom try revering back to your stock one
hope I helped ?

@ CarloskunI thought it was acting like it was in airplane mode myself, but I've checked that & it isn't. As for custom ROM, trust me when I say I am a very simple & basic phone user....... I had only 4 apps on my phone (besides what it came with & I don't really use those apps...why do they install them & bog my phone down!!?). At this time I don't even have 4 b/c I deleted them in hopes of fixing my issue of receiving texts.
As my phone sits now, it is in its factory reset condition. Zero Apps, nothing custom.
Also I have 2 phones, 1 is the S4 & the other is the S5. My S5 is fine ....so I have compared settings to make sure something didn't get out of whack. All looks good.
Thank you for replying.

I replied to you incorrectly by adding another post, instead of a direct reply. Still getting the hang of this, I've never used forums for anything before.:laugh:
