I don't know why. My device was with the same configuration everytime and suddenly, the FM Radio stopped working.
It doesn't scan stations and it's impossible to search, while yesterday it did perfectly.
I also noticed that bluetooth actively refuses to start. When I try to enable it, the system appears to consume a lot of CPU and the wait animation remains there for some seconds. Then it disappears and the bluetooth indicator doesn't change. So it's always off.
I have switched from radio 1.58.25.14 to 1.58.23.21 and changed the OS ROM from bepe 0.58 to Black Widow and I have bepe's again.
I'm very upset because one of the features I use more is the FM radio. I can't imagine that my device is broken, and that the radio unit has a hardware failure
I bought it in the UK and I'm from Spain. In case of having to repair it, I will have to move the earth! So I hope that somebody has a solution for this disgusting situation...

The longer I watch this situation the longer it seems to me, that flashing Radio 1.58.25.14 destroys your Bluetooth and FM-Radio unit. I don't know how, I suppose has something to do with routing too much power or god knows how, but more and more people which once flashed Radio 1.58.25.14 complain of broken Bluetooth and FM-Radio units...
Same here and Original ROM
I am using the original ROM and my BT is broken. I've hard reset and still the same.
Ohhhhhhh HTC.
The each new device, on step back in quality.
Has anybody figured out when the MEIZU M8 will launch?

I have an HTC Touch Cruise. Bluetooth and FM Radio was working, and at some point it stopped.
The device has the original ROM -- no hacks.
I used this successfully: http://esl.sun.ac.za/keyboard/
This required the installation of the .NET 2.0 framework.
Sometime after both the Bluetooth and Radio stopped working. I doubt it has to do specifically with the custom keyboard driver. The problem does not seem to be isolated to any ROM (e.g., 1.58.25.14) , although perhaps the ROM can aggravate whatever it is that breaks the FM and bluetooth.
Perhaps those who have experienced this problem could post exactly what they used the bluetooth for, what they installed (if anything), the state of the device as best they remember before and after the failure, etc?
BTW, I have a support ticket with HTC -- they told me to contact their RMA.

Before getting broken I had a strange failure when I was sending a picture with my Polaris. The other device received the picture, but when I checked it I saw that only the first half of it was rendered. The rest was corrupted on the screen.
While the trasfer was being made, I remember that I saw an error, but I don't know what it said.
BT worked for some days after this.
The FM radio used to work, but I noticed that, from time to time, it didn't start. I had to re-scan to make it work.
I sent it to the Technical Support and I received it yesterday, but... THEY DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, so I'm really upset. I sent a complain to them and published a post in my weblog for everybody to know how the HTC customer support works in Spain.
I hope that somebody could find a software solution for this ANNOYING issue.
PB of BT,
Hi,
Your experience is very worrying !!! I was thinking to send my polaris to HTC very soon, but Im not so sure of doing it now !
Please tell us every new info about this.

Hi,
My Cruise has the same problems. At the begining, internal phone speaker don´t works sometimes and now, no Bluetooth and no radio with original ROM and without any change.
Today i have sent it to HTC.
This problem is becoming usual........
Regards from Spain.
Radio Died too
Hmmm,
I've just been away on business and half way through the week, the radio on my O2 Orbit2 died as well.
The radio turns on but can't find any channels when scanning, just giving a shash sound and you can't even dial in a frequency - nothing.
At the same time it also appeared to partially corrupt my sd card as I couldn't use media player to play any music tracks.
After a hard reset when I got home and reformatting the sd card, I can play music once more but the radio is dead.
It's not the end of the world but I did enjoy listening to the radio. I think I'll mail O2 and see what they have to say.
Cruise Problems
I've had mine now since mid March and all (touch wood) is working well. I find that a lot of post throughout this board indicate hardware problems after doing ROM upgrades. Personally, I'm from the old school of thought that states, if it ain't broke then don't fix. I now that people like to experiment with ROM changes etc., But I feel, that once you do that, you irrevocably change the phone's condition, even if you switch back to the original ROMs. Having said all this, I admit that I'm no expert, so take what I say, with a grain of salt, so to speak.

Well, Kidcom, the problem is there are lots of people also telling that no ROM upgrade was done and their phones also got messed up.
I wonder if the recent production units are also having faulty units. I have a reply from HTC to contact support and get an RMA, but I am in Brazil and I feel like the local HTC comes out with the local Cruise so that I can get a local RMA rather than shipping it overseas (which is a pain in the neck paperwork with Customs).
Did anyone find out a fix for that or is it a real faulty batch that reaquires manufacturing intervention?
Best,

The bluetooth/FM-radio/headset hardware problem exists since the beginning of HTC Touch Cruise. See, for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383280&page=7
Thus, the problem is proved to be the motherboard hardware design mistake.
Once happened, there is no software fix (including recent "hot" fixes by HTC) to the problem. Most devices experience that in just few months (four in my case) after purchase. However, HTC provides no reply (at least to me) and denies to call back the devices.
Same problem on my Touch HD
HTC Cruise Radio FM-Bluetooth-Read M.Cards K.O.!!!
I have the same problem after 10 days of the buying!!!
But in addition to the FM Radio-Bluetooth,doesn't read most Memory Cards.
Send to HTC for replace the motheboard.
Very,very good!!!

So I had the SE Mw600 for my nexus one and it worked like a charm but after pairing it with the sensation. No buttons work. I just the the audio and nothing else works. I did some digging and it seems to work for the desire I wonder what is the difference? Anyone have an idea of why it wont work? or have it working?
It is working here as it should.
Works fine here too. I finally see Caller ID with gingerbread powered Sensation
Works here as well. Paired up fine. I could adjust the volume and stop, play and forward like when I had it with my N1.
So its just me... maybe I should factory reset the phone and see if that helps thanks for the answers guys.

Woah really? A factory reset for the phone just for a bluetooth pairing? Have you tried other options?
Like unpair and remove the headset from your phone and reboot. And for safe measure reset the MW600 as well.
To reset the MW600 headset
1 Make sure the headset is turned off.
2 Press and hold down POWER until the pairing indication appears.
3 Simultaneously press and hold down POWER and CALL button until the headset turns off.
Have you also tried other bluetooth headsets and do they work properly? I just don't want you to go through a full factory reset and have to restore everything in creation if you don't need to. GL
EDIT: And like with my n1, the tracks do not appear on the MW600 (but the caller ID function works) because it's a Sony Ericsson thing. But all the other buttons work without an issue.

Well I have tried everything. I reset the mw600 and unpaired it. I paired it again with my nexus and it works fine.
I haven't really tried other headsets because Well I don't have access to them. Except my bluetooth radio transmitter thing which works fine.
I searched around every other forum here and elsewhere trying to see if anyone had the same problem or similar but nothing. I've tried all the free players that they said worked and what not but really nothing works.
The really odd part is that the sounds comes out fine but none of the controllers work. which kinda make it useless in the gym.
I'll try to reset the mw600 again and pair it again and see if this time it all works this time. I know the factory reset seems a little bit too much for only the bluetooth thing but since I'm the only one having the problem I think it is the phone. Idk I'll wait a little bit more and do some more digging before I reset. Thanks for all the help.

I am not sure if this applies in your case, but are you on a non-US Sensation? Not sure if the others are using the US tmobile sensation or not. But I am using the Tmobile branded version here. Again, I am not sure if it's relevant in your case.
yeah mine is a Tmobile US sensation. for my luck after struggling with this thing all day yesterday today... I dropped my phone and I cracked my screen. This isnt my week at all. Called HTC and they are saying it will be 160 dollars to fix... Well at least that will take off my mind from this for a while.
*UPDATE* after factory reset to send my phone for repairs... I tried to pair my phone again with the mw600 and it worked fine... I guess there was just something wrong with the phone settings.
I use my MW600 with my t-mobile branded sensation and all works fine. I use it with xiialive and can skip stations fine and everything. The names don't appear on the display, but again like kpj says, it's a se thing.
Actually its not a SE thing but its a Bluetooth stack problem android uses a 1.0 AVRP version called bluez and track name support is only in AVRCP 1.3/1.4.
I found all this by doing some more research on the topic. So when we get an upgraded Bluetooth stack we will be able to see the track names. SE payed for the upgrade to enable this feature apparently.
Can we get the new stack with a custom rom?

yes. However, I've gone from one version of a rom to another and lost the functionality...and the chef could not explain why.
AFAIK, any rom that is remotely based on a stock one will not support song info.
I have tried searching for the solution to my problem with no luck.
I have a rooted Inspire 4G. With the stock radio and ROM, whenever I had my headphones or my 3.5mm audio cable plugged into my phone, I could use the headphones or my vehicle's speakers for phone calls (like bluetooth). I also could hear my notification sounds (text, email) through the headphones or speakers as well. Since I have rooted my phone and changed radios and ROMs, I no longer have this capability - the calls and notifications go through the crappy phone speakers. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or noticed the difference.
FYI - I have checked the call settings (Settings->Call) and nothing helps. I have read about HAC/TTY settings from the stock ROM/radio, but these options don't show up in the Rom I am using. I was wondering if maybe those settings made the difference and if there was a ROM or a mod that can access those settings.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
I've flashed many many roms and have never encountered that problem. By default, it should automatically switch to headphones once you plug in the jack.
I would suggest flashing a different rom ...such as the BB Mod rom or Absolution (both are aosp roms).
Or if you prefer the stock look with sense, try Cleardroid.
I believe any of these will solve your problems ...unless its maybe hardware related (bad jack) ?
If you decide to switch & try another rom...don't forget to wipe, so you can get started fresh.
Good Luck to you.

Yea I've flashed plenty as well and I've never run into this problem. Sounds are routed to whatever is plugged into 3.5 jack

Most likely is an issue with the ROMs because after I posted this, I flashed the Revolution HD 6.1.5 ROM (w/ the 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M radio) and the notification/call sound is heard through the 3.5mm jack as in the stock ROM/radio. Previously I was using the CoreDroid 8.1 and GB 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 ROMs with two different radios (12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M).
So I can't exactly pinpoint what the cause was because I (stupidly) changed two items - though I could reflash one or the other with the new radio and see if that made a difference - but I would bank on the ROMs being the problem since the both of you have not experienced this problem with the ROMs you use.
Thank you both for your input.
Radio would have no effect on this. Sometimes you just have a bad installation. This is why myself and others always make sure people know how to properly wipe their phones and then tell them to re install before validating a problem as an actual bug.

Gizmoe, I understand that there are a lot of people who don't research and don't follow directions when flashing ROMs, so I can understand the tone of your comment. I actually do a full wipe every time I flash a ROM, upgrade or not. And before I posted this, I tried reinstalling and researching the problem. I admit that I am new to all this, so it was more of a lack of knowledge about how ROMs and radios work than ignorance because I try searching out the answer before posting.
Anyhow, I did determine the cause of my problem, and it was not ROM-related. It's actually my setup in my truck. Because I don't have an aux jack, I have to use an FM transmitter. My previous transmitter died a couple of weeks back, and I got a new (presumably better) one. I can adjust it between stereo and mono, and I had it on mono because of interference/static issues.
As I found out yesterday, having it on mono plugged into my phone, it will only transmit music and navigation to my stereo. Phone calls and notification sounds don't get transmitted. However, when I switch it to stereo, all sounds get transmitted to my stereo.
So problem solved - non ROM issue. Somewhat user error issue.
I wasn't doggin on ya . Although I can see how it could be read that way. It was late and I was responding to many threads. It was just a general statement to anyone reading, cause people have been getting fussy when I ask to clarify their install process so I can get the whole picture of exactly what they are doing. People seem so sure its a bug when in fact it was something they did wrong. Though that is not the case here and I can tell you get it a lot better than most people.
Hi. I have problem with GPS on my Sensation XE. I've already installed CM11, CM12, PA, SlimKat but with no luck. GPS works only on ViperS ROM.
I've also tried wiping EFS partition, copying gps libs from ViperS rom and none of this has worked.
When I launch GPS Nmea Tool I can see nmea data strings on ViperS rom, on other roms there is no nmea data.
Does anyone know solution for this or has idea how to fix it?
Attachment contains logcat for SlimKat and ViperS rom while trying to get GPS signal.
I wrongly assumed that GPS works on ViperS because only on this ROM I could get any response from GPS.
Today I switched back to this ROM and left phone searching for GPS signal for about 15 minutes and it couldn't find even 1 satellite.
After some searching I found this video. In 2:55 you can see black wire connected to board. I don't have it in my Sensation.
Can someone confirm if this is GPS antenna connector? Or simply disconnect it and check GPS signal?

Sounds like you didn't do full wipes and formats before flashing.
And as far as the black wire, I would say it sounds like some sort of shot term revision.
Try doing "all" wipes and formats. Also remember, Viper does all modding on a "stock" factory ROM, where as CM, PA, Pac, and the rest, run off AOSP, but heavily modded.
I even flashed stock ICS today by RUU. It behaves like ViperS, I can get some nmea data, but without any satellite in view.
Before flashing other ROMs I've made all wipes and formats (except external SD).
Here in post #2 someone wrote that he has that wire in Sensation XE, so this week I will try to get another Sensation to check this.

My experience, and with the Sensation european model, is somewhat limited. And to be honest, I can't remember if the sensation has specific "h-boots" or radios that need to be flashed. Got this thing as a "trash can bound" due to battery issues, which I sorted out to use as a back-up phone. Got it late last year, s-off'd and such, but just now decided to sort the battery issue (new battery and many "bump chargings"
Regardless, a "wire" soldered across the MB, at least to me, means the device may at one time had been turned into repair for some reason. But, seeing the radios are the prime suspects, perhaps a radio firmware upgrade may be in order. This might be something to look into. Most of my experience are with tablets, and they usually have a separate GSM and GPS module.
Wish I could be of more help.
Just tossing some things out there. Although I can't recall upgrading the radio on mine, I do recall a couple of upgrades on my HTC Desire.
EDIT: sorry about the confusion on the wires. One of them, should be the antenna for the radio itself. Now, on tablets, there are 2, one for radio, and one for GPS radio. But on phones, I suspect there is generally only 1. I would guess GSM and GPS may share the same chipset. But, don't mark my word on this. I also see, the post you linked, is for the 4g LTE model, and it has 2 antennas. So maybe things are different.
I have the 3g only model,. so I can't compare.
I will probably check wire this week and come back with results.

Yes, it was refurbished before I got it, so everything is possible. I don't even know if it's european model
Anyway, thanks for help
I connected these two points where the wire should be and it works! I have 3 satellites in view. Tomorrow I will check it outdoor.
Attachment shows where this wire should be connected.
I know it's really weird, but I found another discussion where someone who bought a refurbished Sensation had the same problem.

Hi,
I have also problem with GPS in HTC Sensation XE after I replaced CPU board because of dead eMMC. But in my case I even cannot see any NMEA data going out from GPS, e.g. via GPS NMEA Tool. I checked the black cable and it's connected and it doesn't have a short. But I guess the cable connects only some RF part or LNA to the CPU board so if there would not be connection then NMEA should still go as GPS processor is probably on the CPU board. I have suspected if it's not a bug in CM12.1 ROM but tried more versions (also always wiped data/cache) but didn't helped. I search if there's some low level interface e.g. /dev/tty* that I could listed NMEA but I didn't found any info how the NMEA is passed to the system and how to tap it. I laso tried secret codes to enter some service menu with GPS test but from ~30 codes I found the only one worked - *#*#4636#*#* and there's no GPS test. So I don't know if some GPS processor is damaged on my CPU board or GPS FW corrupted.
As a last resort I would like to be able to connect my external GPS module via BT.
EDIT: Dammit, the eMMC died again during CM reflash, I send this HTC to hell. I give up the repair as probably every Sensation will die soon on eMMC bug...
You can try to format EFS partition. If this won't help then I don't have any other solutions.
If you have problems with data partition search for boot mod and replace it with partition on sd card
Hey guys,
I have a bluetooth headphone (Wearhaus Arc), which I had to sent in for repair recently. Since I have them I faced with connection issue, but sometimes it worked at the first go. Also because I wasn't able to update to firmware, the support told me to return it. Before doing so I unpaired the headphone from my phone (HTC One M8 running latest official stock unbranded Android 6.0).
Since I got headphone back, my phone isn't able to "see" the headphone. Bluetooth is on and the headphone as well, but for my phone it's like the headphone isn't there/switched on. I did some pairing testing with other phones (HTC Sensation, BlackBerry Q10, HTC HD2), which found the headphone immediately and worked fine. So my guess is, that only my M8 has a problem with it. Pairing, unpairing and "repairing" (pairing again) between my M8 and the other mentioned phones worked well, so there can't be an general bluetooth issue.
After doing a factory reset on my M8 I'm a step futher, because now the phone sees the headphone (somethimes), but it isn't able to establish a connection. In case my M8 sees it, I tap on the available devices, the phone tries to connect, but a second later I get the message: "unable to pair. Make sure your devices are on and discoverable, and then try pairing again". Rebooting the phone does not work. I also cleared the data and cache of the bluetooth share app and performed a network reset like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-m8-bluetooth-wont-android-6-0-t3340279
My question to you guys is, what can I do, to get the headphones to work?
Is it possible, that the phone has is still a piece of information left about the former connection, which refuses any new connection?
Is there a file on the phone, which stores the bluetooth connections? if yes, maybe deleting or editing the file could help?
Thank you in advance!

Are you sure that the Bluetooth antenna of your phone is working correctly? It sounds like its an issue of the phone.

Maybe, but as I have written, my M8 can be paired in both directions with the other mentioned phones flawlessly. That's why it actually can't be a general issue, right?
Is there a possibility to test the Bluetooth antenna?
