[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.
edit:http://iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs
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.

I had the same problem on my old Desire and now I had it a few weeks back on my DHD? First time it just went away. But on my DHD I had to do it with the unplugging and cleaning solution. It came back after a couple of days but with the same solution it worked again. Now I don't have the problem anymore.

[Q] Sensation XE sound stutter/skipping

Hey guys,
since a few days my Sensation XE has some random wierd sound issues. Its nearly the same as the sound issue on the HTC One X ,which got fixxed by a hotfix (i think today or few days ago) by HTC ota update.
I found a thread in the One X forum, which explains it really well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584053
A hard reset wasnt helping either. It still has this sound bug.
I am running Sensation XE stock Rom with Sense 3.6 and ICS 4.0.3 with T-mobile as carrier.
Is this a common problem on the XE and is there a fix for this?
Its really hard to hear any music, because this stutter is really hurting my ears sometimes.
The HTC support told me to get use of the garanty, because they have no idea.
I would likely stay at stock ROM if this is possible, because i am a big noob to Android Phones and rooting and i dont want to mess things up.
with regards
Mydy
[EDIT] Its not Beats Audio. If i disable it nothing changes. Sound bug is still there. I am using stock music app. Using PowerAmp hasnt helped either.

So i am still here and i didnt find a solution.
I tested this problem with an other SD card, but the problem is still there.
I am now also considering to root my phone, if someone knows if it will fix it (maybe because it is a known bug with Sense 3.6)
P.S: help me

I will give it a try =)

i will post more if i know more

So... I tryed this method in a different way. at first i used the musicplayer without a backcover. Soundbug still there.
Good thing i had two different backcovers for my sensation i exchanged my backcover with a new one. Soundbug still there.
The next day i tried hearing some music (i thought i would get the soundbug like i did before). But i DIDN'T! It is completly gone now. I dont know why. I had the bug with exchanging the backcover. Then over the night it was gone. I still believe that this bug is still there in a weird way, but maybe i am just a bid paranoid >_>
But i am still thinking that something is wrong with my phone.
Now some of my pictures i had on my phone are getting distorted, like half of the picture is green and a bid shifted.

No Sound

I just got my new HTC one S from ebay (seller says it was a demonstration device but fully functional). I cannot hear any sound. When I am in a phone call (I can hear the sound in the upper speaker where the sensors are but not on the back) and then start Angry Birds for example sound works. but As soon as I hang up it stops working. Phone Call via Speaker also does NOT work Got a broken device?
Anybody knows a solution? Tried reboot and hard reset of course!

This has seemed to pop up a few times now--no reason that I have heard
I would try to to return it--don't know ebay polices though

what do you think? Software or hardware related?
I have 14 days money back but I dont want to got it for 300 bucks...

Is it unlocked? If its not you can just send it to HTC and get it replaced/repaired for free

It doesn't look like hardware problem, because speaker wouldn't work at all, but if it works in the game, then it could be a software glitch. Have you tried to do factory reset on it? You will loose app, but your personal data, photos, videos and so on, shouldn't be deleted, unless you tell the devide to delete user data. If it won't work, you could try to reflash the device's firmware.

as I heard myself its only FRONT speaker wich works, rear speaker doesnt. Will send it in to HTC tomorrow

Same thing happened to me. I noticed that if you wipe the system and reflash the rom it will work again. A factory reset will not fix the problem. But a system reset will. To do a system reset you must install twrp. If you want twrp your phone has to be jailbroken

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.
GooD luck

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:

Reboot issue with JB 4.1.2 vzw newest update on Razr HD

Hey so after a few days of the new update running OK I started having random reboots! I noticed on a few other sites people complaining about the same issue of reboots multiple times of the day! Just wanted to let everyone know a possible solution to the issue! I have went through multiple FDR's and did come to the conclusion that the random reboots for my phone were associated with a new update to the chrome browser and were easily fixed by uninstalling new update and telling it not to automatically update so hope this helps anyone who may be having the same issues!!!
Well so much for that after trying everything its back to rebooting again? I love my phone but seriously considering putting it against a wall!!!

Never had that issue with the new update. Try doing a factory reset or try the new fast boot files to start fresh. Not sure why chrome would be an issue.try the chrome beta version but I suspect chrome had nothing to do with the reboot just a bad initial update.

My Wife's phone is doing the Random Reboot thing since the 4.1.2 update as well. I did a Factory Reset on it and it still does the same thing.
I suspect an application is doing it? Because I put the phone in Safe Mode and it never rebooted while in Safe Mode.
But I have No Idea of how to tell which app is doing it, other than to uninstall a random app after every reboot to find out which one it is.
But I would like to try this fast boot option? I know how to get the phone into fastboot, but which files are you redoing? What exactly are your doing ?

Have the same problem. I have done:
SBF 4.1.2
FDR
WIPE
Even tried running a parallel rom with safestrap (bakatang)
The chrome thing did not work
Keeps freezing. Seems the problem is way worse when having the phone play some music.
I am just about unlocking the thing and SBFing back to 4.1.1 but not really interested into unlocking the bootloader. That would be the last choice for me.
If someone knows of some way to fix this, please help, this used to be a great phone...

No problem here with the sfr rom... used for over 1 month now and no problem and my system is always fast...

I've been running some tests for about a week now since I got my RAZR and the results are interesting... I've had lockups and reboots multiple times a day, most often while doing something involving sound i.e. listening to music or playing a game or video. I've tried stock and custom 4.1.2 ROMs and custom 4.2.2 ROMs and it persists so I'm inclined to say its either bad audio software or faulty audio chips. This is everything I've done:
1. turning off sounds (keeping phone on vibrate/silent) pretty much eliminates the random lockups/reboots I got from receiving multiple texts or calls at once. I noticed if I bombarded the phone and made it ring a lot it gave the same results as listening to music but if its just a text or email or call here and there during regular use it the phone works fine.
2. Listening to music, either streamed or local from phone/SD storage and through headphones or speaker, would cause skips and audio cutting out. After a few minutes of this the phone will lock up completely and reboot itself. Strangely enough it happened only rarely or not at all while streaming music via bluetooth to a stereo.
3. I don't think its anything kernel related or if it is its not causing visible errors or wake locks. My battery seems to be just fine through all this.
4. I have tried multiple music/video players, put my SD card with music in another phone and the music plays fine, stock ROMs with nothing disabled/removed still has the issue, custom ROMs debloated and modified also have the issue. I think I've just about covered every base I can as an end user to track down what's causing it but I'm open to suggestions.
I have a replacement scheduled so I will see if that fixes it, I have seen this problem reported quite a few times all over the interwebz but there are also a lot of people not having the issue either so idk. If there are any Devs or anyone skilled in android-fu that can read logcats I will be more than willing to get those for you. Sorry for the essay everyone lol
tl;dr Like others I have freezes and reboots from what seems to me to be an audio software/hardware problem, either built in or from the 4.1.2 update

I am almost sure is kernel related bc I did not have problems in the 4.1.1 sw.
If someone that has an unlocked bootloader could install 4.1.1 from an sbf and tell if the problems are gone, would be great!

I am not doing that bc I do not use custom roms so dont want to unlock BL. If someone has, this could help much. It is different from using safestrap, because safestrap uses the same kernel, from what I read.

one solution that has worked for me is silencing the phone or putting it on vibrate and I haven't had a freeze or reboot in almost 2 days... the problem seems to me to be related to audio/sound and not listening to music or watching videos along with silencing ringtones has put a stop to it which kind of confirms my suspicions... I will try and flash back when I can but it'll need a day or 2 of field testing to confirm if its a solution

I can confirm that audio stuff just does worse to the phone. However, I have not had your luck when silencing. Keeps rebooting no matter what. Please let us know when you do.

got it revived with Mattlgroff's new 1.2 utility, was able to force it to fastboot mode... the problem seemed to be some kind of partition error, I tried redownloading the sbf files thinking it was a bad file and got the same error so idk what it is since I'm on stock unrooted 4.1.2. My bootloader is already irreversibly unlocked so that won't be a problem lol but I am a n00b to RSD Lite and Moto devices so I'll tinker with it more when I get some free time
edit: I did have a Maxx HD way back at launch for a month or so running stock 4.1.1 and it ran perfectly, so my idea is its kernel/codec/software related. Hopefully a custom ROM (or hell even stock) with Hashcodes Qcom kernel will fix the issue we're having

I talked with vzw service, the assistant said that 2% of the phones were having this issue, wich for this kind of technology is a pretty big number of phones. Suuggested to send it to Motorola but since its rooted its almost sure not to be replaced by them. What is strange is that not everyone is having this issue. I would be almost sure Motorola is going to release a fix for this, but would not count days. Getting kind of frustrated with this phone I used to like so much. Thinking of going the htc route bc this is getting unbearable.

Any news in this? Anyone tried a new ROM that could solve this? Or even a fix?
... or just everyone had another phone lying aroud...

My wife & I both have this phone and still are constantly being rebooted. This is even after the software update. I have been wiped, factory reset, and everything possible, but I've not called for a replacement yet. Normally I havea worse luck with those.
Wife used to love this phone, now she hates it and hates we changed from AT&T to Verizon since we have no backup Verizon phones. At least we could take the sim out and go to the iPhone that's floating around the house when the phone went to pot before. Makes me really hate suggesting that we go back to Moto phones since that's all that I've used on Verizon.
Wonder if big red will get the new HTC One....
