[Q] Autospeakerphone problem only when the phone is rooted

Hi guys i have a problem, my phone always goes to auto speakerphone when i make calls and receive calls, however when i flash back to the stock ROM and radio the problem goes away but when i re rooted the phone and flash any ROM the phone goes to auto speakerphone, by the way my phone was working great this pass few months and it was rooted. Any help will be appreciated

I'm sorry that this happens to you, it seems this error is very rare.

Dont know if this will help but this is a common problem with htc's. There are 2 pins in the usb port that get shorted out with gunk,rust, or whatever. I use a pick, some contact cleaner and some fine cloth to clean the pins. I also use compressed air to blow it out. This has happened to a ton of my friends evo's and both of my inspires. Its annoying as hell I know. Hope this helps, good luck

Thanks for the answer but unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem

I also have this same issue... Works fine no problems on stock unrooted. But once I root I get this same problem.. I have had this same issue in the past but never only on a rooted phone.. I have also been on a rooted ROM for a long time and this issue popped up last week.. Now I am stuck with stock until I can figure this out.

UPDATE: I have the stock ROM but rooted and it works well, however if i install another ROM the problem starts again, I install cyanogenmod and found out what is causing the problem, the car dock mode is automatically turning on, also the car dock apk from other ROMS are newer than the car dock apk from the stock ROM

I was able to disable Cardock in Virtuous Unity but still got the speaker phone issue... I guess HTC fixed this issue in the newest Inspire Rom because of all the phones returned because of it, but those fixes haven't been implemented in community roms.. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

UPDATE: I installed the stock ROM rooted and was working well, but when i changed the kernel the problem was back.

Here is a kernel for CM7 removing dock accessory detection based on the latest CM7 kernel. If someone wants to build a version for Sense or based on another kernel, just unselect config_usb_accessory_detect and config_dock_accessory_detect support under USB Support > USB Gadget Support > Dock Accessory Detect in the kernel config before building.

[Q] Can't turn screen back on after hitting the power button in the camera app

This is doing my head in to the point I have borrowed a new HTC Sensation only to find the problem exists on this phone also.
When using the Camera App If I hit the power button the screen turns off. I am then unable to switch the screen back on - It appears the phone crashes.
Behaviour some times differs depending whether I have taken a photo or not.
The following behaviour is observed:
The lights stay illuminate on the soft keys at the bottom of the screen.
The phone can receive calls how ever it doesn't ring and I unable to answer them.
This problem is confirmed on 2 seperate devices which have been flashed with:
Android Revolution HD 3.6.12
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 radio
I have also run super wipe on the phone before installing the HD Rom.
Please help!?

Ive also had this problem on a few diffrent roms.
But i flashed amaze camara update, and not had any prob since.
Im now running the latest ICS with sense, with what ever camara software came with the rom. And not had any problem

Having the same issues on both mine and my wives phones, both running AR 3.6.11 along with lag and other issues! Pretty fed up - and considering a different ROM. How is the ICS ROM, any issues like the 3.6.11? Is it hard to install?

I would try Elegancia ICS. Maybe a little pain to install, if you need to update your firmware.

Have a read of the last 10 pages or so of the ICS thread for superCID info if your stuck, but it is easy.

I will give it a try! Do you just download the zip firmware and flash it?

It's not a rom problem, it is faux's kernel problem.
You can flash bricked kernel to solve.

Put the img zip directly on the SD card, not in any folder.
Boot the phone in to bootloader Power on volume down same time.
Just follow the instructions.
DO NOT POWER OFF REMOVE BATTERY ETC.
You will have to remove file from memory card before rebooting.
If you fail with the upload, then you will have to superCID

[Q] HTC Sensation wireless problem

Hi,
I am getting random reboot and than my wireless connection gives error and never getting on. So I remove the battery for few minutes and replace it back, then after I start I can use wireless connection for quite short time(like 10-15min) and it gets frozen for few seconds and then reboot again and I get the same wireless error again. I am getting this error in every Rom.
I actually got this problem after I got into ICS.
I have tried to install latest Radio, Bricked-kernel, Sebastian kernel, HTC-Dev unlock. None of them worked so I decided to write you guys.
Please give me something to fix my HTC Sensation till I am getting crazy.
Thanks in advance.

What firmware do you have?
Also, I've heard that HTC Unlock method is not as good as Revolutionary so maybe that's what causes problems?

This is not kernel related issue, you have to flash ICS _ OTA here is the link for you HERE

I have the latest firmware for Sensation that is called "Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU"

Okay, so flash OTA mentioned few posts above, do superwipe and try to flash some ROMs again.
If it doesn't help maybe it's hardware related issue.
One more thing: have you tried WiFi on GB ROMs?

It used to work with GB but I got this problem since I got into ICS with some radio updates and so on. It still works but no longer than 15mins and then it stop working or it reboot itself and never come back until I take out battery for a few minutes.
I will try OTA with roms that I have. do you recommend a rom that works good with OTA?
Thanks

I tried on Elegancia and ARHD both worked just fine. I think that i sent you link for RUU Prepared as PG58IMG? So in case that ota doesent help, than something is messed up with your software, flash the ruu that i send you link abd you will maintain s-off no worries

router works, coz we are using several phones and notebook @home...

Or maybe if i get back to S-ON, unroot and restore complete stock...?

Hi,
The other thing worth considering are the 2 gold pins inside the phone,just above the camera lens.
GENTLY lift them to make a better contact.

I am afraid, even this is not working. Pins definetly have some resistance and resting to its place. :-/ when i return from vacation, i´ll take my precious Sensation XE to a doctor, he will know perhaps.

I have this problem too. I've been using ViperS 1.1.0 for a few weeks without any wifi problem. Yesterday, the wifi was working like normal then in the evening I flashed HyperNonsense 3.3 just to try it. Didn't like it, so I restored nandroid of my ViperS, then flashed yank555's faux123 kernel v2.52. I only realised wifi is not working today morning. It just shows "Turning On", but nothing happens. Could it be kernel issue? Previously i was using yank555 v1.9 without any issue thoguh.

i also have the same problem with the wi fi turning on for 10 mins then it shows error
mine came with the initial ics ota update a very common problem i see on the net not only wifi but bluue tooth also not work
i installed the latest ota a week or so ago which cured a few bugs but still no wifi or bluetooth
so.... i did jb s offf , root etc installed CM9 this fixed the blue tooth and made the screen move reactive and smooth this is one cool ROM BUT still no wifi
any and all suggestions welcome but please consider i am a noob http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif and may need a few signposts
thanks in advance

I honestly don´t know, i thought, wifi is (almost)only kernel related, but now i see, that it is not :/ It is almost exactly my problem, i was using ViperS and changed kernel...but it didn´t suit me, so i restored the previous one...than i woke up and wifi is gone i cant solve it for now, i don´t have any freetime at this moment for making full stock condition.
i have tested stock rom with stock kernel, with some other HBOOT but still the same.

Your wifi stops working through an official update? You should claim it! it is not your fault...for me, everything works, except thing about wifi like tethering etc., thats a serious problem, even reflasing the whole phone (rom, radio, hboot, kernel) doesn't help :/
I had Xperia Arc before Sensation XE and reflash always helps, no matter what happens.

All I had to do was pull that file out from the directory and turn on wifi and *poof* it worked again. When I turned wifi on it created a new file and everything has been great so far this afternoon.
In case anyone wants to give it a shot who is having wifi issues you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else. If you have wifi passwords you want to save, you can open the original file using a text editor and copy the settings over to the new file.
I believe the cause of my issue was actually Titanium Backup. Looking at the last time it backed up my wifi settings was back when I wasn't running ICS yet. Yesterday I did restore an app using it and must have accidentally restored that old backup. Their formats are different from Gingerbread to ICS apparently and it was causing errors.
i found this on another post dont know if it will help but it could be the problem with the ota update from gb to ics
now the silly noob question how do you access the directory ????http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/advanced/sign.png
i got into the directory but it doesnt seem to work in another thread someone got it to work with a virtuous rom
ill try that on thr weekend
enjoy your vacation

hmmm thats iteresting, but if you do full-wipe and flash some rom and kernel, these files are rewriten...but because i am curious i tried it and!!! it is not working for me :-/
And how to get into this directory?Simply... download dome file manager from Play Market(i lika Total Commander), but you can use whatever you like, set in options "root function everywhere" and allow superuser. than you can go in any directory and read/write/change

[Q] Both cameras stopped working

I was using viperS after coming from ARCHD and camera was working fine, until one day I got an error saying "cannot connect to camera" etc. I have tried flashing both roms again and cm10 and cm9 and still it doesnt work. I have searched and found no fixes for this. Anyone ever have a problem like this?

I flashed 1.3.5 and I have the newer mainboard so I had to use the wire trick to s off to unlock bootloader and root

I had to do the wire trick also. Have you tried other versions of ViperS and before flashing the Rom did you try super wipe

I ran a RUU and the problem is still here, It must be a hardware problem I guess? Shame I was actually using the 1080p video a lot and bought a fisheye for the phone.

Bump

I'm also having a problem with my sensations cameras.
Neither the front facing or main camera are working. When i open up the camera app it goes black screen then straight back to home. Also in zdevicetest both cameras have a red cross through them.
Things i have tried so far:
Superwipe
Reinstall rom (ARHD 6.8.0)
Tried a few different kernels (sebastianFM, stock, Faux)
Went back to stock via RUU
Replaced main camera module on mobo
So, noooo idea what to try next now. It did the same thing about a year ago and just started working again of it's own accord, but then a month or so later it stopped and never recovered on it's own. Heh.
Any thoughts anyone?

anybody have any solutions for this i got the same problem since i upgraded from gingerbread arhd too ics and since then my face cam stopped working my main cam works without problem
