[Issue] Speaker gets activated by itself on any ROM !?

Created a thread on Q&A section , but seems nobody sees it, i really need help so i created another thread on development...
I have a serious problem , the last 10 days no matter what ROM I install a have the same issue . When I make calls or accept calls the speaker phone is activating automatically on every call , I can change to headphone after the call starts but it starts with speaker phone every time, I am doing full wipe 1.5, tried SuperWipe from mike1986 , tried to wipe everything else from recovery but nothing and tried 4EXT recovery from lambomanx1, also Car Home starts every time when rebooting the phone in every ROM and in MIUI it starts every 20 minutes , any help please
Thank you

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.

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.

Screen won't rotate, would root/flash help?

Hi all,
just bought an Inspire off CL, and unfortunately didn't reallize that the screen won't rotate. I trired recalibrating, but it kept being aborted even though I put the phone flat on the table on its back. A search turned up tons of complaints from about a year ago with few resolutions, and none worked for me (reboot, recalibrate, kill all apps with adv task killer, switch sim card, etc.)
So the big question is, would rooting the phone and flash custom rom solve the problem? Has anyone solved the problem with the g-sensor?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk

Is the phone rooted? Some roms have customizations to lock the screen and keep it from rotating. Do any screens rotate? Or is the home screen just not rotating?
Try going to home> settings> display and check auto rotate screen.
Sent from Soundwave aboard Nemesis.

Auto-rotate is checked. Apps the should rotate (e.g. Google search, email) don't rotate, and most frustrating is that games that use the g-sensor just won't work. The phone is running stock Gb 2.3.3.

If not rooted I would root and try a custom rom would hurt nothing. But make sure you use Ace Hack Kit and no out of XDA method. Also read, read, then read the Effen manual and make sure your knowledged on the steps for rooting. If you get stuck anywhere there is an IRC chat connection in the Ace Hack Kit page.
The thing about buying used phones from someone else is like buying a used car. Your basically buying some elses headache.
The other option would be to return to seller for money back, your option.
PS: If you decide to try out a ICS ROM remember that the kernels are not fully released as of yet so some games will not fully work and do have a few bugs depending on how it reacts with your phone. For gingerbread I would try a few out and see which one you like.
(Absolution 3.7 , Coredroid 9.4) lol my preference but thats a can a worms you dont want to open here on XDA by asking which is best ROM so dont.
Welcome and Enjoy the learning.

Ok, so all the reading made the rooting process seem somewhat intimidating. However, when I actually screwed up the courage to do it, it was like, that's it? It's donde in under 5 minutes, and I hardly did anything!
So the good news is that the phone is now rooted and flashed with coredroid (looks nice!). The bad news is that there's no change in the problem with the g-sensor! I'm starting to suspect that it's more likely hardware. In any case, I wonder if there are any Roms that might have a better shot at fixing the problem? Somehow I have the probably wrong impression that a custom rom that's modded from stock aren't likely to fix my problem... Any suggestions?

Yeah, if you had a sensor problem before the root and it persists after, it is more then likely a hardware issue and no amount of rooting/flashing a new ROM is gonna fix it. If you're under warranty, unroot and send it back for a replacement.

Did you look in setting for rotation display settings. Some launchers like adw launcher lets you also check and uncheck rotation angles. All roms are great in their own way, try a few on for size but I would give them each at least a week or two of testing. A day or two is not really enough to get the feel of them. You can try Absolution 3.7 , Redemption Alpha 6 (ICS) , or even go over to the Desire HD Dev section and try out - Ice Cold Sandwich 7.2 (ICS) (also dont forget to flash inspirmod as well with this one). Also these three will get rid of the stock look.
Good Luck

The phone was bought off craigslist, so no hope of return or warranty. Rotate sreen in settings has been checked, as well as g-sensor calibration (which invariably ends in abort, even after rooting and flashing coredroid. I might try absolution in a few days.
The phone is for my son, and he cares a lot more whether the accelerometer works (for games) than how nice the rom looks.
One problem I found after flashing coredroid is that even at boot up tbe email app keep crashing (without me opening the app). Anyone knows whats up with this?

Did you do a full wipe (factory, cache partition, dalvik) before flashing rom. Coredroid has a zip called full wipe 1.5 as well.

I flashed absolution, and it didn't help with the g-sensor problem at all. I put coredroid back, this time wiping data and cache, and the email problem went away. I guess my son will have to live with the g-sensor as is. Thanks to everyone who replied for the suggestions.

[Q] Sensation XE, ICS stock, launcher restarts constantly

Hi,
since some time after I updated my sensation XE to ICS (stock) I have a problem with the launcher. Nearly every time I leave an app and sometimes even right after unlocking I get a white screen with only a green HTC logo, then after some time I see a "loading" note until I can finally use my phone. Sometimes the launcher restarts again right after it just came up.
I have looked for solutions and it was suggested to turn of fastboot and stop forcing hardware acceleration, which I did. But the issue still persists. I have quite a lot of apps installed, but I don't run many simultaneously. My first bet was juice defender ultimate, but deactivating that did not help.
The task-manager shows only the following active apps: Business Calendar, Contacts and Google services framework. The battery life is also pretty good so I don't think it's a problem with too many parallel tasks.
The phone is a European sensation XE running stock android 4.0.3, 3.32.401.105.
Any suggestions?

Hi, Just use a third party launcher and disable htc sense, I had the same issue on an asian "hk" sensation xe i got from amazon and use on tmobile us. It runs a lot better now and scores 2900 on quadrant vs 2370 with sense.

as far as I am aware that would require me to root my phone. Does anyone have a solution that would not require that?

Mine does it all the time, that's why I hardly ever use sense anymore. I run sslauncher and it never happens now. I'm sure it's a bug in sense.....

Go to:

Update:
I shut down the phone and removed the battery and the micro sd card, since I wanted to try something. When I inserted the sd card and started it again my Problem was gone. I changed nothing on the sd card.

Phone screen turns on randomly

Is there any reason why this would happen?

It didn't happen to my device until I upgraded to 4.0.4 Android and HTC Sense 4.1 (Spanish Orange network HTC One S version 2.38.75.4).
When it switch on while on a pocket it is very annoying as the phone "tries" to make an emergency call.

I was flashing the new Viper on my nieces phone and didn't quite get everything set up the way she likes it before she had to go home so I had to restore her nandroid of Viper ICS and now she is texting me telling me she is having this issue. Can anyone tell me if they ever had this issue and resolved it and if so i guess i might resolve it when i see her next weekend by reflashing the ROM? Or is it a serious issue or maybe one she can resolve? thanks for any info pertaining to this, my niece is quite picky and i am sure any of us crackflashers here know what it is like when you promise a woman the best for her phone then screw it up for her, never hear the end of it! lol. thanks for any help!

All i can really think of is that in the viper rom you have the option under tweaks to let the screen turn on when a message arrives. Mine used to do the same thing every once in a while but it was somehow connected to my data connectivity jumping all over the place so i re-flashed and wiped caches which did the trick.
Hope you get the problem resolved for your nieces sake!

I'm having the same issue with my Evo LTE

The same problem with SGS2 / ICS 4.0.3. Any idea how to fix that please ? It is VERY annoying, cuz it drains my battery !!!

If there are still people with this kind of issue,
I would recommend to check for "wakelock" usage.
As third-party apps can use "wakelock" to turn on the screen, there might be some buggy app which is using the feature improperly.
I had the same case before, turned out that "Naver Mail" app was using Screen wakelock to turn the screen on randomly.
As a solution, there is an app in Google Play called "Wakelock detector" which has a feature to show statistics of Screen wakelocks.

Random Screen On caused by faulty power adapter
I changed my power adapter for charging, and the problem went away immediately. I assume it was the result of either drawing too much power, or not enough to charge the phone. Anyway, there you go. Hope it helps! :silly:

Senstaion Keeps Turning off?

Phone keep randomly turning off, even with a full charge? Tried different Roms, but nothing changes? New battery doesn't do the trick? Me too, until I found a post on a Vodaphone site that said that multiple copies of HTC Sense was to blame, and that if you go into SETTINGS, then APPS, then select the ALL tab, scroll down to HTC SENSE and Disable the oldest one, then reboot, all my problems would be solved.....
And they have
Hope this helps somebody else and hope it's easier to find than the original post

Another thing that may be the culprit is that the battery is not connecting to the pins correctly. In which case a piece of paper can do the trick! Just lodge it above the battery so that it presses it firmly down onto the pins and you should see no more reboots!
Did the trick for me on several occasions

Did the pack the battery thing at first, and it did seem to work until I upgraded the battery to an Anker.....
Also, ROFL at my spelling mistake in the title. Was definately meant to say Sensation :nod:

Only had two shutdowns in the last week and both those were after long gaming sessions in the mornings. That's quite an improvement compared to the 7 or 8 I was getting a day. Sorry it hasn't worked for you though.

Had a few more today too.
I am desperate and willing to try anything.
Maybe, I'll enable it and compare to how it was before.
I should probably get another phone (one S, one mini)

My brother has this problem as well. If you find a fix please tell me.

I only flash ROM, as I don't need to flash firmware every time.

My post says to only flash firmware once but if u flash firmware then go back to recovery you'll notice it has an error mounting a partition and to perform full wipe.

Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

I tried wiping cache and dalvik without any benefit regarding restarts/turn-offs.
Anyway, depending on the ROM I am using, sometimes I get random restarts, sometimes turn offs.

Well I suggest trying the method I posted. I know sounds like it won't do much but I'm I'm telling u I had reboots like crazy everyday and once I flashed in that order it stopped COMPLETLY. So make a back up and try to start all over with firmware and everything.

OK, I will try that.
Anyway, I was on stock kernel and now I just flashed SebastianFM, see how this works, better or worse.
I'm also thinking about trying another ROM.
