I got a strange problem with my phone's ear piece. I can hear through my ear piece only in suvi-v3 ROM. When i flash stock v1 or v2 or any other ROM, i get no sound in my ear-piece. I'm forced to use the headset or speaker during calls. Can anybody let me know why I face this issue?!
In spite of me clearing the cache and data, I've been facing this issue in all possible ROMs. And in suvi, there's no sound in ear-piece until I press the vol up button. Quite strange. Also while I go full volume, the sound cracks. Can the mods let me know how to sort this!?
NOTE: Have posted the same question in one of the threads in Themes and Apps and didnt have any proper solution. If the mods feel this having violated the forum norms, i apologize and kindly request to take this thread down.
Cheers and Thanks in advance!
The fault is of the phone's headphones port. Same thing happened to me with a couple of headphones. Only skullcandy uprock and stock mmx headphones are working perfect for me. Others the sound is breaking. Its something to do with 2 pin and 3 pin for sure. 2 pin headphones doesnt seem to be working well with the phone.
Mate.... I'm not talking about the headset or the headphone that you think. The issue is with my Phone's earpiece... The one which is near the light and proximity sensor near the top end of the phone.
Oops sorry my bad. Try flashing Stock ROM v2 and then clear userdata & cache. Reboot without a memory card and check if the problem persists.
Performed the said process before... Have flashed stock ics v2 every time i tried a new rom... Also most ROMs made me hit the volume up button soon as I dialled or received a call so that I could kick that no sound phase out!
Did you try it without the memory card ? Chances are that there might be some old cache of some apps in your sd card interefering even after wiping. Thats why asked you to try without a memory card. If that doesnt show any improvement, your hardware is screwed up for sure.
Try this:
1. Clear User data and cache.
2. Flash Stock ROM v2 using SP tool.
3. Remove memory card & switch sim to other slot.
4. Reboot and check if the problem is there.

Thanks a ton bro. Just removed my memory card and it dint work. swapped my sim to the other slot. BINGO. Both sims work and the audio is just fine in my earpiece. No need to push my volume buttons anymore!
Should i format my External Memory using a card reader so that things get bac to normal?!
Cheers and Thanks again!
Nah, now that it is working. It is up to you whether you want to start afresh or not

I've read in other forums of this problem but have not been able to find a solution (not entirely true).....when I turn the phone on in the morning, it just keeps restarting without going to the home screen. Sometimes it take 2 reboots sometimes more. The only way it will boot up correctly right from the start is to take the mem card out, so I think that's probably the problem, but it's not a corrupt or problem card. Once the phone starts and I put in the mem card all is fine.
I want to try to format the memory card from the phone, but don't know how to. Anyone else know how to do this? Also any other suggestions or solutions?
I got this once. Somehow i got the phone on. I just took the card out and put it in when its about to restart. Mabye it was luck, but i dont know. But if you get your phone on again, I would certainly format it (clear storage)
Does your phone ever act up again after that? Mine still does. It turns on fine without the memory card in. By the way, how do you format the memory card on the phone?
Mine rebooted all the time until I removed Facade. Hard Reset the phone and didn't install it and haven't had the problem since. I know Facade isn't "compatible" yet with WM6, but other than rebooting it worked fine.
Really....I'm going to try that and see what happens.
For those that have this problem, it's true. Once Facade is uninstalled and a soft reset, the problem went away....
I had this happnen to me for the first time today. I had the phone off all night (was testing another device) and then when I put my SIM back in and powered up it went into this reboot cycle. powerd off, even took the battery out still no luck.
Then I took the SIM out and tried to power up and it came right up. Powered off and put the SIM back and it worked agian first time.
Not sure, but maybe the SIM was not fully seated... since this was the first time I actually took it out since I get the VOX...and this was the first time I had the problem...
Regards -John
I had the same problem, although I never installed Facade, Initially the phone was fine and the it started re-booting on startup. I saw a suggestion of running SKtools and removeing duplicates in the Notification table, this worked for a while, then it came back again.
At first the only cure appeared to be to re-boot without the sd card inserted - inserting it again after the phone was running (it even had the same problem with a blank card inserted)
I then read abot someone putting the phone in Flight mode before turning it off - this also solved the problem - better than removing the card each time.

After hard reset - lost option to store attachments on storage card
I had the same problem and solved it by hard resetting the device. However after the hard reset the option to user the storage card for email attachments has disappeared from the pOutlook options screen.
The SD Card is OK and I tried to solve it by a new hard reset, but it is still not resolved.
I would be very graefull for the one that has a solution for this.
I have the same problem with my SD card.
With the card inserted the phone keeps rebooting.
With the card removed it starts normally.
When I insert the card when WM6 is running the card is normal accessible.
Tried an other card and also a 1 Gb card. Same problem over and over.
I'm going to try a Kingston card.
If anyone has a solution, I'll be happy to hear it.
i have my microSD inserted when i power on my Vox but didn't have this problem. what rom version do you have? my rom version is 1.15.405.2.
I have a friend with a similar problem. Would appreciate any further input on this situation. Has anyone taken a look at Paul's (from Modaco) answer to soft reset loop????
Check it out and see if it does anything. Want to know if that'll fix it before I take the phone off his hands.
Hi all,
Like many Vox users, I've also suffered from this problem.
I've noticed two scenarios which helped me solve the "boot-loop". Hopefully they'll help others.
I once had a GPRS monitor application installed to my strorage card. Re-installing to the phones memory helped me.
Also, when I had bluetooth turned on, I powered down, powered-up again, and the phone booted okay!
I think theres a few variables involved in this, and no single "silver bullet". Hopefully HTC will provide an official fix soon.
Michael.
Friends,
Thats all humours. Don't need to remove/install any software. All work fine except you reboot and remove your SD card.
Its simple: if rebooting occurs, just remove SD card and once booted, reinsert SD card, simple! nothing else need to do.
Its true that its a bug with WM unfortunately; i don't know when would it be resolved.
i have tried to boot up with 512MB & 1GB sd card but never had this rebooting problem. Maybe you can let me know your current rom code version and i will try to verify the problem?
I have got the same problem my phone keeps on restarting...
when i put the mem-card after restarting it is being opened as storage card 2, and default storage card option asks for turning on the bluetooth.
Re: Rebooting of Vox
Hi,
Had this problem once (and drove me nuts!, I was out on tour, no PC access nothing).
I formatted the SD Card (Its always better to use a card reader and format it from a PC.
Another I had this problem (hope you are not as dumb as me ):
I use TPC and set it to ultra slow . So every time I booted up, the CPU was not simply powerful enough to cater to the power requirement and rebooted. I had to do a Hard Reset. Hope you have your contacts backup before you go for a hard reset

If you have bluetooth file explorer turned on, it will show as a storage card
i had it long time ago with one of the official htc roms.
The solution is to make loose the simcard-slot in the middle of the booting.
Vox will turn off.
Close and start the phone again.
It should be over then.
Re: Official ROMs
Yeah! The official ROMs suck! actually the best solution will be to switch to a custom ROM from Dr G/FH / fireburned, they are much much better feature wise/ battery backup wise and speed wise. I think HTC should try using one of those ROM as there official ROM
Hello.
just signed up, but have lurked and searched for a while.
I've recently updated my phone to the official ICS update.
And, i regret it. Loved it before, and should have gone with the old saying of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Phone is not rooted, and is on TMOUS.
radio is a pioneer deh-p6000ub
sd card is Lexar MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 10
I have searched here, and on google trying to find an answer to my problem, but to no avail.
I thought I had found it in the noob question thread, but nope.
Problem: SD card is giving me a lot of issues when plugged into my car radio's usb. I'm going to be as detailed as possible, so may be a bit of a read.
when first plugging it in, the phone doesnt recognize that its plugged in, stereo gives me "N/A USB" plug an unplug a few times and it works.
**already solved this first minor issue, apparently the phone has to be unlocked to register that the usb is plugged in now. wasnt like this in GB, minor inconvenience, but not a big issue.
once i get it connected it will register, and start playing.
then, while playing, it will randomly go silent for a second, then continue. will play at least one song all the way through while periodically going silent, then start the next, and after about 20 to 40 seconds, will just jump to a random song, play about 30 seconds of it, and jump again, rinse, wash, repeat. annoying.
When going through the menu's on the radio, its very slow. it takes about 10 seconds to load each folder name(one folder per line, 3 lines show on the screen at a time.)
Some albums will play fine for the most part, maybe just a couple of silent moments (we'll call it skipping.)
some albums are unplayable.
While listening to the music on the headphone jack, it works fine. no issues at all. only issue is that after plugging it into the usb, the phone itself no longer has saved where i stopped playing music previously through the headphones. always did before.
Probably related is the issues with the gallery. after being plugged into the usb and then disconnected, the gallery takes forever to load and be useable. cant access pictures or videos on the sd card for at least 30min to an hour. can take new pics and view them with no problem, but cant see the old ones. i can go through root explorer and access the pics on the sd card that way, but not the galler.
I have no need for a custom rom, i dont do enough fun stuff bc i dont have time. and the majority of what i use my phone for right now is music. and i cant use it for that bc of the usb issue. stock rom does everything i need it to at the moment.
What i have tried:
different cables.
I put the sd card into an old motorola droid i had thats still on GB and tried it on the car radio and it worked perfectly. no issues.
i did a factory reset to the sensation
i cleared the media app cache
did a soft reset.
deleted and completely loaded a fresh copy of the album that has given the most issue, changed nothing (was hoping that maybe that particular file was corrupt)
took the sd card out and reformatted it (the suggestion on the noob thread for slow sd card issues.)
tonight, i hooked it up to a completely different usb radio (dont know what brand, etc, it was) and it gave the same issues.
one difference was that after playing a song all the way through, it disconnected from the usb. and the phone showed that it was connected charge only, not disk drive.
this card is extremely slow on this phone, and i cant figure out why. been searching for over a week now.
i beg of you, help me before i break it. lol. i hate singing along to my favorite tunes at the top of my lungs in my car, and then the song cut off and having to hear how awful i sound.

While I am not sure how to help you with your USB music issues, I can help you get back to ginger bread if you like once you have s-off on your phone you could simply flash the firmware and ruu of your choice to have a stock ginger bread sense rom but, before we try that have you tried to clear the data from the gallery apk to see if it makes a difference? Also do you have USB debugging enabled? It sounds like your rom is having issues with mounting the sdcard efficiently. Do you have any apps that maybe trying to access the sdcard while it is unmounted, thus causing an issue?

I would suggest a simple solution of ruu... It installs fresh copy if ics.. But at the cost of losing phone data... It won't touch the sdcard though...

just cleared the gallery cache. USB debugging is not enabled, I enabled it for a couple days and it didn't make any difference.
no apps installed that should have any effect on sd card. running on bare min right now, less crap I'll have to reload after continuously resetting and deleting.
will save going back to gb as the last resort. would really like to enjoy ics, just this one issue I'm having.

will prob try this soon, at least before reverting back to gb.
one more thing I forgot to put in the first post:
the sd card is not encrypted as far as I know. and the encrypted sd card option is not selected in the storage menu. not sure if this has any bearing on anything, just thought I'd post it up just in case.
Well at this point a ruu would be the vest man for the job. Do you need a link to one or do you have one? If you need what's your network?

guess i will be needing a link please.
was hoping to be able to avoid doing anything additional like that.
seems im the only one having this kind of issue though, cant find anybody else with it.
oh well, guess thats how it goes.

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid OK here is a link to all the ruus I can find for the htc sensation. And here http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...0U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed.zip
Is the most up to date tmobus ruu that I can see. Make a backup of everything you can like text messages, ect. Anything on your sdcard will be safe. Once you ha e done that plug your phone Into the PC/laptop and run the ruu. It will flash the phone with the stock tmobus ics rom. And hopefully fix your issues good luck
Usual disclaimers apply, if you phone explodes, starts a revolution, Marrys a dog or leaves you late for work its on your head what you flash onto your phone is your call.

Hello everyone. I use the Huawei G300 for a couple of months and I have to say that for the money the phone is the best buy. I switched to ICS B952 and I must say that it is much more functional and more beautiful, a little slower, but it's not that bad.
But I have one problem that I do not know how that resolve, and the problem is same from the ICS and GB.
While I had VIP rom I had no problems, and these problems were created when I switched to ICS B952, then came back to GB B894 thinking that I'm going to address the problem, but nothing, so I'm now back on the ICS B952. Specifically the VIP's rom my work on the bell ringing for all calls and for each contact no problems, no matter how many times the phone put on USB and turn off SD card, and when it was ringing in SOUND folder on the SD card. Now I put a melody using root explorer in system media folder and everything works great until .. until you attach the phone to the USB and turn off the SD card. When turn on the card all sound back to default settings, in a sound that I can not find it either in the system folder on the phone. Even I reboot and voice messages, they disappear completely!? Then I have to re-inject the bell ringing and ringing for contacts that I want to give a different tone and a ringing message. Everything works nicely, ICS me a lot more beautiful than GB and I am satisfied, but this is bothering me. The problem is the same when I get back on the GB.
Is there some solution, some link for this my problem, I read on the net, but I have found the answer.
Say that my phone is root and I have CWM, if it might mean something!?
Hello and thank you in advance for your help.
I have some problems with my SD card on a THL T100s running a custom Kitkat 4.4.2 ROM.
I recently noticed that Android didn't see my SD anymore. I thought it was corrupted, so I put in on my pc and fixed file system and all. It didn't work. I tried with another SD, formatted it, but Android either didn't see the card at all, or say it was empty/corrupted. Then i booted into TWRP recovery mode to see if it was some software misconfiguration issue. TWRP saw the SD, so I rebooted and finally Android could read the card. Then something very strange started to happen. In a minute or so, my file explorer that previously could read and write on the SD, showed an empty folder instead, and no read or write operations could be performed anymore. Whenever I reboot, sometimes TWRP and/or Android can read/write on the SD card, sometimes not, and when it does it stops in a few minutes. Unmounting and remounting the SD from Settings->Memory result in a "Empty/Corrupted SD card" notification. I even hopelessly tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache (resulting in an annoying "Upgrading Android" at every boot)
I tried to logcat since boot, but honestly I spent all day long trying to figuring out what happens to no avail. I'm no expert and the logcats are huge: filtering only errors, or "sdcard1", "Volume", "Vold*" (which seemed to be related to the sdcard) didn't help me. I'm afraid it is a harware failure and that I can't do much about it.
Can anyone help me to search for the right things in logcats or has anyone else have an idea about what might happen? Any other suggestions?
I'll post a logcat if necessary but even filtering them out there are several hundreds if not thousands rows.
Thanks.

Though ,you are pretty much right . vold service manages SD card and volumes mounted such a SD card. And most probably your hardware is failing . Or the slot can't read the card properly.
A good way is to clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol or some other cleaner. Dab some on tissue and clean it gently. You can also use a pencil eraser to clean contacts gently.
If you have any other issues ,you can sign up on forums and post in general Q/A
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Have a good day !
Just to add to this, Google has decided to limit sd card access in KitKat and Lollipop. You can also seek an app on Google Play called Sdfix which may be resolve the issue you are having. Also contact the developers of the custom ROMs you are using to see if they incorporated the known fix in their ROMs.
Thanks for the replies. I'll try to clean the contacts though they look pretty clean to me. I know about new Android restrictions, but I have root and the right permissions set. Previously it worked indeed.
I'm sure it probably is hardware related since a few days ago I had the phone repaired due to a broken micro USB port, and now sometimes even the camera can't connect. Perhaps the phone had been mounted incorrectly. I tried to dismantle it myself, but I can't see anything strange or out of place. A little pressure near the camera seemed to solve that problem. The micro SD slot isn't anywhere near the micro USB one, so this seemed strange to me. I hope the repairman didn't solder any circuitry it shouldn't.
If I don't solve with the cleaning I'll bring the phone back to him to see if he can handle that.
Thanks again
I've had a constant problem for the past few days with the camera. In every app that uses the camera I get an error message saying something like
"Please close other apps, the camera cannot be accessed right now."
This is temporarily redeemed with clearing my cache but after using the phone for a while the problem returns. Restarting the device doesn't seem to help very much but occasionally the camera will work after a restart. I'm on the software version 6.0.1 V20a-SEA-XX and I have a H959. I have not tried a hard reset on my device yet and wish to avoid that if an easier fix is available.
When the Mrs's phone was updated by LG following repair, she had a similar issue. It turned out to be an issue with the camera trying to save to the SD card, but the SD card not playing nice with the new firmware.
To see if you have the same issue, go into the camera and change the save location to internal storage before you attempt to take any shots. If you can take a shot after this change, you know its an issue with the SD card.
Lets hope its something so simple. :angel:

Got the camera to work for once and changed it to save to the phone. Worked for a while but I believe it reverted to saving to the SD card. Taking out the SD card and putting it back in was a simple fix along with saying "No" to a prompt about asking it I want to save to the SD card. Many thanks! I was starting to believe I'd never take photos again with this phone.

No problems Lol_cool. :highfive:
I would suggest you copy everything off that SD card and then format it using the phone before moving everything back onto it. Other apps may also cause the same types off issues if your SD card is now not entirely compatible with the phone.

I think LG will tell you to do a factory reset Ficoradic.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to do a RMA or pay for the repair if your out of warranty. :crying:
I'm having the exact same issue. I already replaced the rear camera module as I thought it was broken. It seemed to work for a while, but now i'm having the cannot connect to camera issue almost constantly.
What seems to help is to 'clear all' applications from the recent apps window, and use camera restarter (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.exlyo.camerarestarter) a few times and launch the camera app again. (need root)
I'm using a rooted 5.1.1 v15C-EUR-XX, have root, xposed, powernap, amplify, greenify and some other root tools installed and am thinking that that might be the issue.
The restarter thing didn't work anymore today, so I put some pressure on the part of the laser focus thing while opening the camera app, and it worked until I took my finger off, then it went black. I tried again, and again it was a success. The connector for the camera is right under that laser thing so it might just be due to bad connection of the camera connector, or the laser thing that has a bad connection inside.
