[Q] HTC HD2 | Phone Apk Hanging and Buzzing Issue - General Questions and Answers

Firstly, I have been searching this forum for about 2 hours. I have found a few threads with the same issues, but they are either not relevant or I have tried the solutions within the threads and they have not worked. Also, the threads I have found are a few months old. I have also searched the ROM thread seen below.
ROM: [06 Nov 2011][MAG/cLK] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a (GWK74)(Android 2.3.7)[tytung_r13]
Device: HTC HD2
ROM Installation Method: MAGLDR 1.13
SPL: 2.08.HSPL
When I accept an incoming call, the phone application hangs and after about 10 seconds I get a force close notification. Sometimes this is accompanied with a buzzing sound from my speaker. In some instances I have to remove the battery to restart the phone as it totally freezes.
This happened on Android 2.3.5 (of the ROM linked above) so I upgraded to 2.3.7 (of the ROM linked above) to see if it would fix the issue. It has not. I also wiped the phone and reinstalled the ROM, and again it hasn't fixed the issue.
Also, I do not have Skype installed so it's definetely not that.
I would have posted in the ROM thread but it wouldn't let me.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance. I can provide additional information should it be required.

buzzing HD2
Sometimes it happens on my HD2 on diferent rooms: NexusHD2 3.2, NexusHD2 ICS 1.1, MIUI 1.12.30, MIUI 2.2.17. It is not often. Any sollution?

It's same here! I am starting to think that the problem is with my phone! I tryed meny different ROM and settings...it always the same!
It doing it 2-3 times per day.
How to fix it ?

same problem
I'm using CM9 (v2.8) android 4.0.4 and facing the same problem. I tried many ROMs but can't fix the problem. Also tried some solution on this 4rum but no help until now.
I'm going to throw my HD2.

Same here
I have the same issues with different rom using nand or nativeSD.
1 on 2 receiving call, the phone freezes with a buzzing sound. I must to take the battery out to restart the phone.

same problem
I have the same problem with my HD2!
The phone freezes after I receive an incoming call with a buzzing sound/no sound. Sometimes it shows the error message of com.android.phone process, in other cases I need to remove the battery and restart the phone.
I have tried different kind and version of ROM(for e.g. NexusHD2, MIUI, TouchWizMod v3.0) but the freezing issue is still not solved.
As far as I checked the freezing is not related to any kind of installed software.
If anybody has a solution to this problem please share with me/us. I really do not want to get rid of my HD2.
Thanks in advance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have found the solution. The reason why the phone did not work is the Viber application. I uninstalled it a moth ago and thence everything works well. I use the WeChat app instead of Viber and my phone works like a charm.
By the way, a member of the Viber team has commented on this forum that their application does not support any kind of custom ROM currently.

Im facing the same problem,its killing me, its been worst recently ! I cant answer any call on my HD2
this problem happend first time on android 4+ roms,
I tried diffrent roms after that, but still not fixed, anyone can help us to find a solution?!
-----
anyone using CLk has this problem?!
Im using Magldr

Im having the same problem here. Found no sulition currently. ROM - tytung NexusHD2 2.5

The phone freezes after I receive an incoming call with a buzzing sound/no sound. Sometimes it shows the error message of com.android.phone process, in other cases I need to remove the battery and restart the phone.

hmm same here, tried some different ROMS - SD (froyo) and NANDs (2 gingerbreads, now ICS), tried these on both of my HD2s, also changed RADIO from 2.15.50.14 to 2.08.50.05 - nothing helps.
sometimes when im getting a call (usually it happens twice a week, some weeks more often, some less), i press the button and the phone/app freezes, sometimes with a buzzing sound.
after that, system doesnt respond normally, on GB sometimes it autorebooted....
also tried without viber AND tried directly after reinstalling the different ROMS with no contacts, original ringtones - also happens there sometimes!
i dont think that could be a hardware problem, because both of my hd2 phones act the same way.....
any solution since that time?

At the moment I have latest Jelly Bean by cotulla, with Cyanogenmod, and when I make a call, the screen is black (turned off) even though I don't have it close to my head and sensor is not covered. When I abort the call, it doesn't respond and stays dark with button panel highlighted for several seconds, and only after I press power button for several times it awakens. The same happens for incoming calls. The phone is not usable as phone with such things happening... That's frustrating.
So, let me sum up what people (and I) have had on the subject:
1. Various Android ROMs were tried and issue is always present.
2. In my case, stock Windows 6.5 has a very similar issue - incoming calls are even ignored! At least I had the described problem after I decided to have an "old" but working phone and reverted to the stock ROM instead of Android. Alas, the phone was still having glitches when answering.
3. We don't know exactly how many HD2 are affected by the issue but it looks like more than 1% which is pretty much to be a serious issue.
I might assume we faced an intermittent hardware issue, that does not always reveal itself, and can only be reproduced after a certain "failure". I think it's hardware dependent because my phone was working fine but suddenly ceased to do that.
I'm very sceptical about fixing this issue for me or other users. It's an obsolete phone and any mass hardware issues that is not reported by manufacturer (btw, could this be checked out?) will scarcely be considered. The whole thing makes me think we just have to switch to our phones are gaming/browsing accessories, since it just doesn't work and the issue is apparently non-trivial to be examined. I would be though glad to provide any information and logs... but who cares? Even cotulla doesn't think HD2 is worth developing any more....

Speakerphone problem

Ive just upgrade to the beasty WM6 ROM and everything works fine except for one thing. When i am using the phone, the speakerphone doesnt work. The button is there and nothing happens when i press it.
Anybody experienced the same issue, or got any ideas?
I also experienced the same...
So, I'm using "Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.08 WWE" right now.
Speaker phone works fine.
However, phone hang-up very often.
I'm thinking of installing other roms...
problem
I too have this problem (no loud speaker during call) but know there is an answer on these forums somewhere. Only trouble is so many ask for help using the same words as the search string would contain. End result is needle in a hay stack.
Would be helpful if these begging posts (and the 'yeah, me too' posts) could be removed after 3 months. I doubt anyone keeps a ROM with a bug that long without re flashing or learning to live with said bug...agreed?

please re-upgrade
hopefully be normal
Try another ROM or ask in the ROM-specific thread, rather than generally stab in the dark. Every ROM will potentially have bugs and quirks, some are particular for the ROM, some can appear with various software installs or hardware modifications. If nobody in the ROM-specific thread encountered the same problem, chances are, it's you. Might want to hard reset your device and see if the speakerphone works BEFORE you install your applications and programs. If no luck and you know your speakers are functioning otherwise - try another ROM.

[Q] MIUI Force Close with calls

I've checked around in quite a few threads, but wasn't able to find the exact issue that i am experiencing.
Background story: Hi, my name is rob, and i'm a flashaholic. I heard nothing but good things regarding MIUI- so I went from EvilFascination to MIUI 1.6.24.
The problems that were mentioned in various threads pertained to message, losing signal, phone not receiving phone calls (similar), and things of that nature. Going through the set up of my phone, i didn't experience any drawbacks.
HOWEVER. When ever I make a call, or receive a phone call, my phone locks up with only the soft keys lit up, and only way to "fix" it, is to do a hard reset by pulling the battery...
Any suggestions/links?
Thanks!
-Rob
Phone Stats:
Phone: Samsung Fascinate
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: S:i500.04 V.EC01
Don't think I left any important facts out..?
I found an updated MIUI rom- and that seemed to fix my issue.
I also had same problem. I re flashed it from EZFroyo then Hard Reset & Done.
Anyone else who has this issue and would like the link for the updated MIUI for Fascinate click below
***due to "noob" status, i can't post the link, though if you google : Nyne Axis MIUI 1.7.22, i'm sure you'll find it. My apologies
As a forewarning, i'm not able to place my finger on it, though the GUI looks a bit different from the previous release 1.6.24
And many thanks zk9211, I'll more than likely find another bug with the rom, due to it being in beta stage, and will give your way a shot. =D

[Q]Please Help! Microphone not working on incoming calls..

Hello, i need some serious help over here
What's the problem:
I own a galaxy 3 since June, a week ago i started noticing the internal mic wasn't working on some incoming calls.
Details:
First of all the problem began for no apparent reason (the phone works fine otherwise and no major updates / new apps were installed)
This started happening on the official froyo ROM which was an excuse for me to flash the Kyrillos 9.4 ROM (wiped all data / formatted sd card in the process). The problem still occurs on Kyrillos 9.4 ROM suggesting that this is not a ROM issue
I thought it was a hardware issue but the caller can hear me perfectly if i connect the headset or use the speaker Also the internal mic works fine on some incoming calls and ALL outgoing ones!
Upon further investigation i came upon 2 threads on other forums (unfortunately i can't post the urls as i am a new user, if needed pm me or search google for "Microphone not working on incoming calls") which point out that the same problem incurs on HTCs and XPERIAs. Also it happens on replacement phones (original unit shipped back after this problem), on different providers, on official and custom ROMs, on clean phones (only the stock apps installed).
This seems to happen when the phone is idle for a set period of time (unconfirmed). Fast Reboot app / manual reboot / removing battery don't fix this, however making an outgoing call seems to enable the internal mic temporarily (even if the outgoing call never connects)
When this happens apart from the mic not working on incoming calls it becomes also unresponsive for other apps (Tape-a-Talk, Skype, Soundhound etc.)
Conclusion:
It seems to me that there is bug in froyo that keeps the incoming call code from activating the microphone or perhaps there is a conflict of sorts that keeps the microphone blocked. It is highly unprobable i think that the microphone would randomly start to fail on different android phones in the exact same way, so this shouldn't be a hardware issue.
Question:
Does anyone know/guess or can produce a possible solution for this? If not, could you please suggest further testing steps to help reproduce 100% this problem in an attempt to solve it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a pain in the neck for me (and others i guess?!)
PS: Excuse the thread form, i 'm really bored of writing / reading long posts
PS 2: This is my first post, hello xda community!
samsung vibrant
I have the same problem. I flashed the phone from android 2.1 TO cyanogen 2.3 and from it TO ice cream. I had this problem even to cyanogen and only in incoming call,never in other situation.
Googling I found same information but no solution. Anyone here knows something?
Anyway I found a stupid solution....try switching to 2g( I know that it's not a solution but...). It works for me!
that's ridiculous! how can network state have anything to do with the microphone of the device? can this be related to service providers maybe a more techish member could tell us.
anyway i am on 2g already as i don't have a usim card and this happens even if data network mode is deactivated. glad you found a way out but is it really a solution? i mean you have to ditch 3g for the phone to be actually a phone...
Since we seem to be the only ones among so many to be having this problem i am seriously thinking of taking back the phone for a replacement and hope for the best...
just an update, i lost functionallity of the microphone completely earlier today. That is with outgoing / incoming calls and any app i can think of, so i thought i 'd try changing the network data setting to 3g only since i was already on 2g...
WOW!!! that had an instant effect,it works seamlessly now,didn't even have to reboot.fingers crossed it will last.
that is one nasty and very strange bug. Please any of the developers could you take a closer look at this?
much appreciated

[Q] bad delay when sending recieving calls, DESIRE S

Hello people
Huge problem! I have tried all the 2.3.5 ROM's in here and still, after a few calls, there is a delay of 5-15 seconds from when the call starts to when the sides can talk to each other.
If I call, they answer but then they hear silense
I they call me, I hear nothing for 10 seconds and then sometimes I get an error (THE PROCESS COM.ANDROID.PHONE HAS STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY)
tried different radios, current: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
I have turned all the BACKGROUND DATA and AUTO SYNC off, I have run the FIX PERMITIONS in Rom Manager... same thing
The only roms it works on are the 2.2.3 barebone ones, with sense 2.1
I wouldn't mind that but the have no Middle East languages support so if I get an SMS with a number and HEBREW or ARABIC letters in them, the number is backwards.
PLEASE HELP!! there are some great ROMS in here but I can't use them!!!!! AAAAAAA
thanks.
come on people! a little help?
I didn't notice your post first time round, but am not sure what to suggest. A little more information might have been useful - such as hboot version, how you got root etc.
Try wiping absolutely everything, burn one of the good, recommended ROMs and try again before installing any additional programs or whatever. If you still get issues then please come back and let us know. It may be that you have a genuine problem with your phone.
i shall give all the info tomorrow ....
thanks a lot
CallDelayPatch works perfectly for me!
Test it and report if it solves your problems!

HTC One S Media Problem

Hello,
Like 3 months ago I have bought myself an HTC One S. It always worked well in the beginning, but recently I started having some problems with it.
It's about the sound. Very often I suddenly have no sound anymore. (This is a problem that is not similar to other posts about problems with sound)
If the problem encounters:
- I don't hear ringtones.
- If I call someone, I don't hear beeps but the phones does make contact with the other. The one I call does hear his phone ringing.
- I can't hear my own music. Also can't even play.
- No sound with the radio.
- I can't play videos/movies. Video/movie doesn't start. I get an "not supported" error.
- I get an error if I play Youtube video's.
- If I play games there is no sound. If I turn the volume louder in game, it's turning the Ringtone Volume louder, not the Media Volume.
- If the phone is starting up I first get the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen and directly after that the animation screen (Also without sound).
Normally the screen is black for 3/4 sec before the animation screen.
Better said: all the media is not working. (Camera/mic, I don't know yet. I will find out today.)
I think it has also something to do with my Wifi. If I turn my Wifi on, the media stops working after an hour. But also without Wifi turned on the Media stops working but less earlier.
I can fix this problem by turn Wifi off and restarting the phone without the SIM. It's not always working but very often it does. If I restart my phone with SIM, the problem continues.
I already tried a factory reset, but the problem came back again.
Earlier I had rooted my phone and flashed some ROMs on it, but with not much succes. So I rerooted my phone and deleted recovery and used an RUU to make my phone as how it was in the beginning. I have the latest update now.
I have this problem like everyday and it kinda starts to irritate...
Can someone please help me with this?

I was was wondering if you have found a solution to this already? My HTC one S shows the same problems since yesterday.
Which One S do you have? S3 or S4?
Still got warranty?
Verstuurd van mijn One S met Tapatalk
What do you mean with S3 or S4. I'm a noob!
This is what I found in the map software information:
Software number: 3.16.401.8
HTC: sense version: 4+
Android: 4.1.1
edit: Did a little search on Wikipedia
Processor and memory
One version of the One S uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8260A SoC (system on chip),[3] which includes a 1.5 GHz dual-core Krait CPU and an Adreno 225 GPU, as well as an integrated HSPA+ modem, GPS/GLONASS module, Wi-Fi b/g/n radio, Bluetooth, and FM radio.[9] The One S also features a standard array of sensors, including an accelerometer, proximity sensor, and ambient light sensor. The phone provides 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of built-in storage; however, the phone lacks a microSD slot for additional storage.
In certain markets, such as Taiwan,[10] India,[11] and some European (usually Eastern European) markets, the One S uses the older Snapdragon S3 MSM8260 SoC, with a 1.7 GHz dual-core Scorpion CPU and Adreno 220 GPU.[12] In some markets, both devices are available, notably the UK. The change is speculated to be caused by a shortage of Snapdragon S4 chips.[13] The two versions have slightly different packaging, the S4 is model Z520e/Z520m and states "Processor: Dual Core, 1.5GHz"/"CPu Speed 1.5 GHZ, dual core, whereas the S3 is model Z560e and states "Processor: Dual Core".
It says: 'Dual core'. So I guess it's the S3 then?
having the same sound problems
I'm having the same problems with HTC One. I can't hear the ringing when I'm calling someone, it just shows "dialing".
I can play music/video.

hey,
to keep this thread going:
i have / had the same problem. it started a few months ago and happened only occasionaly, recently it was basically all the time
there was no sound in- or output at all and all the apps that needed sound either crashed or gave an error
i was running some old aokp rom at the time, then tried fixing the problem by changing to some new version of cyanogenmod a few weeks ago but it didn't solve.
2 days ago i restored the stock htc rom with the RUU (ICS), the problem still remained. Then i upgraded to stock JB (4.1.1) and the problem hasn't appeared since.
of course the problem could reappear any time (as it only happened occasionally in the beginning)
let's assume the problem doesn't reappear again: anyone got an idea what caused this? i desperately want to switch to some custom rom again, stock is a pain in the ass :/
my phone: htc one s S4, unbranded EU version (htc_102 or something)
HBOOT-2.15.0000
RADIO-1.15.50.05.29
hope i could help and someone has some ideas
update:
i flashed cm 10.1.3 stable and used it for around 2 weeks without any (sound) problems.
since i had some trouble with force reboots when playing ingress i flashed carbonrom and one day later the sound problem reappeared.
back to cm now.
Same problems here

Hey, same Problem here...
..I had my old One S for 1,5 Years and this problems came up, so I sent it back and got a new one.
Only 4 days later the same problems came up again and i tried hard reset and many other things, recommended here, but nothing worked..
..has anybody an idea what it could be? There are a lot of people in a lot of different threads with nearly the same problems, but i can't find an answer that solves the problems...
PS: Sorry for my bad english
i've just had this delightful issue pop up over the past few days, too.
switched roms but the issue still remains.
Any of you have a logcat? Download "aLogcat" from the Play Store (you can filter it to only show errors - "E/").
I've been having similar issues and it makes the phone unusable. I ran a logcat and found numerous errors related to audio and the feedback I got was that it appears to be a hardware issue.
Post a logcat here and I'll see if you guys are getting similar errors.

installed it and will run it for a few hours to see what it gets.
should i change any of the settings on it or just run it vanilla?
I just ran it out of the box. Stopped it and then filtered it to show errors by searching for E/. Found a bunch related to audio.

i've decided for now i'm switching to magiorom as i've had a buttload of bootloops today on odyssey 3.21, so will monitor it tonight and see if there's anything to show.
for the short time i was running alogcat on odyssey, it didn't show much even though i was switch/using different apps, so that's why i was curious about if i should change anything.
anyway, i'll see how i get on and report back later
Just to keep this thread going I wanted to include some more things i've discovered while searching for a solution to this problem. I use a program called "error log dump" from the play store to view any system errors. The two most common ones I see are: "AudioPolicyManagerBase(261)" and "failed to enable the mixer controls for the speaker". The second one only appears after all sound is lost. Including any audio from phone calls even though it does connect the call.
Recently i've discovered an clue that seems to indicate that this is a software issue not hardware. Whenever I lose all sound I start up the error logging program and hit "start log". Several times the log program started acting weird and not record anything but the sound immediately came back. In fact that is how i usually solve the problem now.
I'm running a rooted and S-OFF phone with the MaximusHD rom. This problem started when my phone was completely unmodified so i know it's not a problem with the ROM.
Does anyone have any idea's as to which service might by causing this? I've searched and tried disabling everything that has to do with the audio.
I tried the above workaround with SIM out and WiFi off reboot, and I've got sound back. As soon as I finish a call all sound goes and can't play video etc until I perform the reboot thing again. Might this suggest something to do with the radio knocking out the sound? I'm a bit of a noob with all this but that's the idea I'm getting.
For the record I'm s-on, and this issue has been present for a few days now, on multiple roms (the issue remained on all 3 roms but is worse on magiorom).

Recently i've discovered an clue that seems to indicate that this is a software issue not hardware.

This is why I was curious to see the errors you guys were getting.
I've tried various ROMs (4.2-4.4), kernels (3.0 and 3.4 based), and firmwares (2.15, 2.16, and 1.13) and still experience a loss of sound. Although I will say that lately it seems to be less frequent (Liquid Smooth 2.4, 3.0 based Bubba Vn5 kernel, hboot 1.13).
So I'm inclined to think it could be more hardware related for me at least. Turning my volume up and down repeatedly seems to fix it... usually.

So after using that work around for a bit, it seems notifications work fine, but anything that plays for more than about 10s kills audio again, but not permanently like phone calls.
Also, that alogcat stops recording as soon as it's in the background for me, don't know if that's another issue or connected?
E: this all seemed to start for me when my phone was left uncharged for 3 days

I ran it and called myself from another phone, watched the log, and then used the vol keys (which make that beep when adjusting sound) and watched the log. Saw the errors that way.
Yours appears to be slightly different than my issue anyways, but for what it's worth - I switched to ViperOneS (the last ROM I remember using that didn't have these issues) and my audio never dropped once.
Giving it a try now man, cheers for the heads up
