Speaker not working

Anyone having this problem? For example, I have it set where it'll make a lock noise when u lock the phone. It rarely works. This also affects the app, Tikl. My speaker will enable once in a while. There are just so many problems with the phone.
I get random freezes after just owning the phone for a week. My HD7 ran much better.
Thanks guys

problems with messaging

I have this weird problem, whenever i text with friends, if i respond back within a minute and the time is the same, then my message will go above my friends message. But if i message back like 1 minute later then it goes below. So i only have the problem if i manage to message back within a minute and before the clock change.
Anyone else have the problem? I allready updated my phone to newest.
And after i did update my phone (did it through the post in the forum here) it wiped my phone complete, so i guess making another reset wont work maybe.

Yeah that's weird, doesn't happen to me at all, no matter when I reply

My friend told me he had the error too on his HTC Hero when he used that.
So i guess it's either a Android or Sense problem. But i'm not sure what to do to fix it, if it's even possible lol.

I also read that sometimes the SGS1 would do that too, but there was no fix that I saw for it. It had something to do with the way the phone time-stamped the messages...
It is "inconvenient" but is it really a big deal? they are just messages after all...

Well no it's not that big a deal, since i have had it for some time now. But it can be annoying sometimes.

Got this problem on my wildfire. Not a big problem.

My wife's Mytouch Slide did this. I think its a network issue.

Neither of those threads have anything to do with the OP, bowers131.
Both of those threads have to do with the weird occurrences of SMS messages being randomly sent to other people, nothing to do with the placement (chronologically) of the posts which are in fact going to the correct person.

I also have it and had it with multiple phones also on wm phone:-o
I think its a operator thing

Mine definitely does this. I was thinking it might be related to me having a huge number of messages from one person in particular. Are most of you experiencing this working with a large number of messages.?

Have you tried SMS Timestamp Fix from market? It usually fixes it, since it's usually a sense issue, been going on like that since the HD2 WinMo. And some desire builds I've used.

Happened to me in the Windows Mobile days. No issues here on my Canadian Sensation.

[Q] Talking Tom making phone sound disappear!

Hi Guys,
I have been noticing this pattern so thought I shoudl ask here.
I have the Talking Tom (paid version installed). While it worked fine on my DHD, on the sensation, I open the app and try to play with it, after a few seconds the sound disappear.
Even closing the app and pressing the volume rocker it shows media volume and not the phone volume. And the phone is kind of muted, no ring sound, no notification sound.. funny as it doesnt even give an error message.. the sound just disappears!!
The only solution is to soft reset.. again launching talking tom gives the same problem..
Any one can test it for me?
Many thanks!

Had the same problem as you...but I was using this app Vlingo ...however I just had a system update today and so far the sound is fine after I used the same app...fingers crossed

System update as in the ROM update?
Well I have uninstalled Talking Tom from the phone for now.. lets see..

I had the same problem with the talking rex app, thought I was going crazy. Did a soft reset and then later my phone just randomly restarted while entering text on the Internet, debating doing a factory reset. Lots of quirks with this phone, hopefully we get an ota soon.

[Q] Low caller ID picture resolution

Hello is anyone else experiencing low res pictures of their contacts when they call? I'm not sure why this is happening but everytime someone calls me who has a facebook their facebook picture shows up but is very blurry and low res. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks

Same problem here & no idea how to fix it, ugh.

This is an issue with Google not the phone. This is an issue that goes back to every Android phone since day one. It has something to do with when you sync your contacts and Google downgrading the initial picture. There is a fix but it's pretty time consuming. Google it, you'll see it's not just his phone.

Thanks for your reply, the work around is very time consuming I think I'll just suck it up for now.

It has to do with the size that google saves those contact pics at. I have no idea why they decided to shrink them down to such a small size. All of the fixes I have seen in the past are only temporary and simply require too much work. When you flash another rom, you lose the changes you made and are stuck again with those small pics.

Declining Calls

Whenever I am trying to decline a call my One S accepts the call. I then have to press the end button.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

How do you try to decline it? It might be that you're doing it wrongly?

Are you dragging the red icon into the circle? I have not had an issue doing it this way. I will say that I tried to silence a call by pressing down on the volume, and it answered the call instead. That may be a setting somewhere though.

Hmm let me guess..are you dragging the ring up over the red call icon instead of dragging the red call icon DOWN into the ring?
It's ok..when I flashed a sense Rom on my HD2 a while back I kept pulling the ring up to launch shortcutsand couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work !
Ring up for regular unlock, icon down for action.

Only thanked because I find it funny that someone who would buy a One S, and be a member of XDA wouldn't know how to decline a call, even though the phone has tutorials lol

Alright I feel so dumb right now lol.
I had the Sensation before this and it seemed like pulling up the ring towards the red icon always declined it. So i got accustomed of declining calls that way.
Anyways yea pulling down the red icon works fine.
Sorry for the dumb mistake >_<

we wont tell if you wont

Always ran AOSP or CyanogenMod on my HD2, only had a short stint with a Sense rom (not a fan of pre-4.0 sense, too heavy!) and never go through tutorials, I like to figure things out for myself.
