[Q] HTC Car speaker - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone, I just bought a HTC Car V100 second hand. It should work perfectly the seller said. But I have no manual for it so I can't deal with some things. Someone could tell me where can I download a manual for it? Or someone could load up one? My problem is the phone disconnects the speaker after a few minutes. But just in the car. It seems (for me!) if the wifi is on and searching, disconnects the thing. If it does I have to turn off the bluetooth on the phone turn off the speaker than back again both and than the two thing connect again. Sometimes I have to search with the phone the device and pair them again. But when I tried at home and in work it was on all day and work perfectly! Because is second hand I have no manual for it. I tried to press some buttons on the speaker and now I cant use the voice dialling neither. I don't want to throw in the bin but if I cant work out what is the problem I will. I have a HTC OneS phone and so fare I'm satisfied with the HTC. I would be very pleased if someone could help me to solve this problem. I posted this question to some other places too. And I really need some help. Please! Thx. Peter

xda mini speaker problem

perhaps anyone else encountered the same issue - i don't know any further with this:
after flashing the o2 xda mini german with the bigstorage rom from: ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/BigStorage_ROMs/DE_O2_1.12.01.zip
via sd/boot-method the speaker doesn't seem to work anymore correct.
it seems like the speaker on the back of the magician is only working when a call comes in, but not for alerts, sounds or a mp3player like mortplayer or wmplayer.
also the speaker and the mic at the front of the mini aren't working.
so i flashed the device again with the original rom, but it isn't working anymore, also not with all the other available roms.
so i tried to adjust the preamp with no success.
let's see if i wake up tomorrow without a bell :roll:
I believe you have a hardware problem and has nothing to do with the ROM. There are threads and a PDF file showing how to dismantle and fix the speaker contact.
hmm i don't think so - why should it play the ring sound when someone calls? i also checked if it is the speaker on the back side which is playing the ring sounds - and: yes - it's the one on the back side
No sounds after just 6 months of use on my O2 Xda II mini!
Hi lindsche:
I also have the same problem - no sound coming out of my O2 Xda II mini EXCEPT for the ringtone for incoming calls. I have not installed any new software on my device and I have only had and used this device for 6 months! The only way I can hear anything from the device (including phone conversations) is through the use of the audio ear phones. I have been in contact with O2 Technical Support from the Asia Pacific Region (where my device was purchased) who have been suggesting all kinds of different resets stuff to no avail thus far.
By the way, where is the speaker located on this device??
Any advice would be much appreciated.
yeah, i think its hardware too, i had the same experiance with my wallaby (siemens sx56). The problem was from the audio jack. There is a small switch inside the jack that stuck so the device thinks that you are using handsfree. i tried to plug and unplug it but it make the problem worst. if been looking for the jack parts everywhere but couldnt find one. so when i got my new magician, i always plug and unplug the handsfree very very very carefully.
to upcityhighroller and lindsche: i believe your problem is in your audio jack. if you able to hear the ringtone, but not able to hear phone conversation and other sound, that means your phone thinks you are using the handsfree. best think you can do is check inside the jack with flashlight , make sure its clean and nothing stuck inside.
as per someone else's advice found in this forum, i tapped the device against my palm and the sound came back! i'm very happy EXCEPT now my power button won't work!! my temporary solution is to unlock the buttons so that I can turn on the device using any of the other buttons but now I also have NO other way to shut the device down! (I'm force to wait for 2 minutes of inactivity before it shuts down.)
Any suggestions??
Many thanks!
Not able to pick a phone call using handsfree ear phone.
Hi !
Bought O2 XDA mini, a couple of weeks ago....
I am not able to pick any call when handsfree is connected to O2 mini. I can the hear the ringing tone and listen MP3 too using the handsfree....
I have tried the handsfree on another O2 mini phone and is working absolutely fine...
I called the O2 service center and they asked me to do hard reset....
If it still does not work, they have asked me to give it to service center for repair...
I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problem... If so, what is the resolution.??
kindly share your views... thanks.
-Raj
hey i had a simialr problem.......even i hard resetted but the problem persisted.....but when i charged my battery it worked fine...i guess our phone doesnt accept calls if the battery is below 20%
I was desperatly searching the net for a solution and did what you guys were talking about and tried cleaning the headphone jack, i recommend using an air compressor and while u have music playin in media player just gently blow air into the jack, and if that doesn't work try a little more air, the air seemed to clean most of the dust and whatnot that had clogged it, i just had to give it some firm but gentle taps with my palm and and it works fine now. Releived, as i was just about to buy a second hand replacement
Have the same problem with my Mini.
Couldnt hear and be heard during calls, brought the phone to the service center,
they replaced the hardware yet in the end they couldnt figure out whats wrong.
Im using 1.12 right now do you think it would help if i upgrade or downgrade my ROM?
Need your inputs on this guys!
Thanks in advance.

Problems with front speaker

I have been having some problems with the front speaker lately. Most of the time when I get an incoming call or make a call no sound comes through the front speaker and have to put the loudspeaker on to hear anything. The weird part is that from time to time it works fine usually after using the wired headphones. Oh an the volume is set to max.
Has anyone else had the same problems? How to fix this? could it be that I changed some settings inadvertantly?

Mine did not work at all any more. I even did a hard reset; no change. I have now sent it back to HTC for repairs.
Robin
Same here
Mine doesn't work at all.
Wow, I guess we should start a poll where people would select which problems they are experiencing:
1. Wi-Fi
2. BT
3. Front earphone
4. Radio
5. Bad painting
6. Shutting down suddenly
7. None of the above
More than one could be chosen... That would ballpark the size of the problem. Maybe some production batches were messed up due to the hurry from Qualcomm to deliver the already delayed parts? Maybe HTC came to that point where the brand is far larger than is the company's capacity of growing (especially in terms of QA)...

I have the same problem. The wired is that it ocassionally works. Another problem is that FM not always working. I bought the device in German. But now I'm in China. Any one knows how to fix? I don't know how to disassemble it. But I'm curious, maybe some pin is loose?
Same for me, the front speaker didn't work for 48 hours and then worked again I don't even know how
No sound speaker htc touch
I have the same problem, no sound from de phone, when switching to handsfree mode i hear de caller
Hello,
I have the same problem and found that this happened when starting an application that uses only rear speaker or hands free speaker (e.g. Tom Tom, Compe Pocket, etc.)
And the problem is not of that application, the problem is in the phone application of the cruise. I think that these applications mute or power off the front speaker and the phone application don´t activate it.
I have found a solution to this. When making or receiving a call, press many times speaker or hands free button on display and after many times, speaker works again.
Now, I am looking for a new phone application, in order to quit HTC application. Somebody knows a good phone application to use in Cruise????
Many thanks in advance.
My device has been returned today.
Have not had a chance to test it. Will do so when I get home tonight (in 8 hours). I will let you all know if it has been resolved.
As a remark to fran_mad's post; In my case, even after a FULL HARD reset, the speaker did not work.
I therefore do not think it was caused by a software problem.
Kind regards,
Robin

Motherboard has been replaced and all works OK again.
Good and quick service from HTC (free pick-up and delivery within one day)
I am still not sure if I like this one better then my good old sleek, slim and sexy Touch.
no sound from phone speaker
fran_mad's solution did not work for me.
I am affraid it's a hardware thing with me too?
I checked volume, did soft and hard resets (clear storage) but frontside speaker does not work!
HTC technical Support is going to collect my phone tomorrow. I will post my proceedings...
frontside speaker repaired
HTC Techsupport repaired my Touch Cruise within a week. Bravo!
See if it keeps working this time!
Same here. Front speaker started to fail a few times. 1 week later it totally stopped. Was repaired by HTC (EuroTwice.be) in 2 weeks.
Front speaker stopped working after 1 month usage - motherboard replaced by htc within 12 days. But now the device shuts down by itself sometimes - will send it to htc again tomorrow - meanwhile i am very disappointed about my Touch Cruise.

Hi
I have problem with the front speaker.
The sound is "blurry" if i put the caller to rear speaker the sound is crystal clear.
So the problem must be in front speaker??
I search the net but i cant find where to get it?
Is somebody have the front speaker from dead Prophet?

just wanna share with others..
my touch cruise experienced this weird problem since yesterday.i've tried fran_mad's method and and its works!! thanx dude! i'm still figuring why the heck this kind of problem happened as i didnt change any setting on my phone.
Sorry for being clueless but what do you guys mean by "front/rear speakers"? I thought there is only one speaker on the back side of the phone and a universal connector for handsfree - earphones+mic?
There are two speakers, one in front and one on the back. My front speaker died and was repaired by htc - new motherboard. Seems to be a known problem...

Parrot doesn't work with Desire

I want to use HTC Desire with Car Kit Parrot CK3200LS. The only thing stands agains this is MUTED Parrot's microphone. Pairing is quick and stable, I can hear person who I'm calling, but nobody hears me because mic is MUTED. The same story with every ROM.
Could somebody advice me where to look for solution of that problem?
What version is your Parrot CK3200LS? As Parrot CK3200LS seems to work fine for me, What roms are you using are they all with HTC sense?

Parrot's soft version is 2.12c (most recent), LeeDroid_v2.1a_A2SD, AOSPDesire_1.5.4, Neophyte_1.8, Stock FROYO, DeFrost_4.4, AuraxTSense_7.6.1. I've tried many ROM's - the same story.
What is your ROM, which works good with CK3200LS-COLOR?
I'm having a problem with the CK3100. Not every time, but quite often, when I hang up the phone, the display on the phone and on parrot indicate the call has finished but phone is still displayed in the dashboard and the radio/cd etc remains muted.
Sometimes, if I dial another number or take another call the radio will come back on but often the only sure way to unmute the radio is to durn the engine off, take the key out and wait 60 seconds before starting the car. This is quite inconvenient on the M25!
It also happened with an HTC-620 and, occasionally, an Orbit (Artemis) but never either of my Nokia phones. AVR mobiles who installed the car kit have been particularly unhelpful; their advice is to try another phone.
I wondered if anyone else has had this problem.

Exactly the same problem - not very often but you're right its damn irritating... As a workaround I've installed simple switch on the red +12v switched cable that is plugged in to the fusebox. This way I can quickly powercycle Parrot when that problem happens or turn it off when I leave car for longer periods at the airport. It shouldn't drain battery at all yet somehow it flattened my battery when I was away for 2 weeks.... and I'm sure everything is wired correctly...

[Q] Bluetooth issues...

Is anyone else having issues with the bluetooth connectivity with their HTC Inspire? It pairs with my car with no issues. The bluetooth drops in and out. It says bluetooth headset connected... then 1 minute later it says bluetooth headset disconnected... and so on.
The car doesn't recognize that it is gone so the sound stops on the speakers in the car but the phone doesn't switch the source to the phone. I have to switch it manually to get back to my call.
Anyhow, I see a lot of articles on google where people are complaining about this but I have been unable to find any resolution. Has anyone here had this issue and resolved it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Same is happening with mine. I paired my inspire with the car and it connects. But if I use it no connection or doesn't dial. When I receive a call and disconnect, my car will stop the connection but the phone stays on.
I might be restoring to stock to see if it's just an inspire thing or bug with different ROM's

I am using my phone stock and was thinking about rooting it if it would fix it. I am new to Droid phones so I have not read enough to be comfortable with rooting quite yet...
Have you found any solution to this issue? I've just bought a BT headphone (Plantronics 903+), and as a I put it in my left pocket (where it is supposed to be placed since the headphone antenna in the left side), connection dropping starts and never stop happening. The movement seems to stress the connection quality and it gets really annoying, I can't listen to music without having this chopped streaming all the time.
I thought to post this question here since this is the only post I found about the same issue, but I will put a specific one about Plantronics and Inspire if I can't come out with a solution. I'm really very disappointed now with the headset, the phone or I don't really know which one is the guilty one.
Thanks in advance
it will not work. since after rooting, my phone cannot pair with my Garmin GPS, but it did with the stock rom.
