2i reverting to "Sound off" for no reason!

Has anyone else come accross this? Mine started it a couple of days ago, all sound mutes, even when you move volume slider back up it resets itself to sound off. I did a hard reset after the first occasion, then it did it again. I have not installed any new software so don't think that is the issue. IF you have come accross this and found a work around that does not involve a hard reset I would be grateful for the advice.

soft-reset cures it on mine

Soft resetting does not do anything on mine, only a hard reset cures it, and then only for a couple of days, have aslo lost BT now!!! Can see my headset, pairs with it but wont connect. I have re-flashed the ROM, but problems still exist. O2 are now sending a replacement as the other one is only 2 months old (took some haggling though, O2 customer services is truely diabolical)

o2 online or retail? either way take it to an o2 shop, they HAVE to sort it for you

It was O2 online, they have now told me there is a problem with the new rom and some bt devices!!!!! Still not sure what the problems are, but am sure they are linked to TT3 as well. so will upgrade and se if that helps!

this happened to me... even a hard reset didnt fix it.
For some reason, leaving it to charge in the USB docking cradle all day has cured it

I'm such a liar!
Stupid things started doing it again, worse than ever

Have you got the broadcom BT update loaded on? If so get rid of it, thats what the problem was with mine. But then getting rid of that stopped my headset working if TT3 was loaded, so I have had to upgrade to TT5 to cure that problem!! My problems, though now resolved, all started after I did a rom upgrade from o2!!!!

There have been several problems with the 169 ROM by O2, which versions are you all using?

I did have, but have now rolled it back to the previous version. Even o2 admit that ver 69 has problems with BT devices!!! Wish they would check things before they release them!!

.169 killed my GPS and tom tom :'(

Crap. The problems started when I installed 169... and I've just ordered a TomTom from Ebay :'(
What should I roll back to? Or are there any "unofficial" later roms?

URGENT HELP NEWBIE! CANT HEAR OR BE HEARD ON THE XDA 2S!

I have tried searching everywhere but i cannot find anyone with a similar problem.
I have an o2 XDA 2s which so far has been the best phone PDA i have used.
However, I have one small problem sometimes which happens about once in every ten calls i answer or dial, I cant hear anything the person on the other end is saying and they cant hear me too. However, I am able to make/recieve calls as normal if i do a soft reset which takes about 2 mins, rather irritating. Has anyone had a similar experience? Its just so fustrating when the phone is such a superb phone that this rather small problem happens.
Please can someone advise me on what the best thing to do is, I have tried a hard reset but this has not solved anythinga and the problem remains.
Should i try upgrade using the upgrades provided for the XDA 2S on the o2 site? i understand this flashes the ROM or something. Is this easy to do and is there a chance of doing worse damage when flashing? also my XDA which is an O2 phone is unlocked onto all networks, i.e. orange, tmobile, vodafone, does this mean if i flash the rom that i will lose the unlocked networks and be stuck on O2? I would be very grateful if someone could advise a newby as to how i could rectify this problem on what otherwise is a superb phone.
Thanks

I use 2 Blue Angels with 2 ROMs 2 versions at the same time,one is WM2003 radio 1.13 and the other is WM5 radio 1.15.Both face the same problems as yours.
After I uninstalled O2 Active user interface from both Blue Angels,that problem was fixed.
If you have O2 Active user interface installed,remove it and see if it is fixed or not.
:wink:

I've had the same issue on my Orange M2000. Apparently it's bluetooth related and a couple of ROM updates do actually improve it.

Re: XDA 2s
thanks for your response, how do i find if i have O2 Active user interface on my phone? or whether it is installed on my phone? and how do i remove it?
Im sorry i am a newbie so all this is new to me, but where theres a will theres a way!
Thanks

I don't think it's anything to do with the O2 software; the same problem affects Orange devices. Try updating with the official updates, if that doesn't work search the forum for "silent call" and you will hopefully find someone discussing which ROMs are the best for this issue.

1) What firmware are you using.
2) Do you use bluetooth or wired headset
2) Why is this so URGENT sounds like you've had the problem for a while.

mic/speaker
I permanently keep my bluetooth on which so far is working...
I have an XDA 2s
rom version 1.40.00WWe
Radio Version 1.15.00
I have not flashed or hard reset my phone asi thought it may make things worse!

Update with the O2 D/L...
As you have XDA IIs, and are on O2 why not update with the official update from O2? It'll upgrade your ROM and fix a couple of known issues with the PDA... I used this 'new' ROM for some time before flashing to WM5, and it worked flawlessy. even with the O2 Active installed (which is bloatware anyway!)...
You can find it here
Or you could flash with a base ROM and use a Cooked Ext ROM to get the apps you want, or take the plunge and get WM5!! It's all in the Wiki, and quite simple if you read a little

PLEASE HELP!! cant connect to the network :(

Hey everyone ..
i was using my Blueangel normaly and so happy with it until i faced this problem before 2 days ..
I was texting my gf while i was out and kept on even though the battry gave me a warrny that its really low .. i ignored and kept SMS's her until it went off.
i went home charged my device but its not connecting to the network. it shows either "No Service" (where it shows X beside the signal tower) or "Searching" (where it shows ! beside the signal tower).
Please anyone knows how to turn it on im really in a bad situation here.
Note: just to let you know im using WM5 Hemi's rom and upgraded it today to Xplode's rom just hoping it would help.

Well when i tried another sim on my blueangel it worked and my sim card on another mobile it worked also. im really losing my brain

44 views no one have a slight idea..
anyways thanks alot everyone for visiting

Hi,
All I can suggest is to re-install radio rom! prob 1.15.
If not that then ensure flight mode is NOT active, and battery's fully charged
Also when you reset BA, on first screen does the R show a none?
If so reset, twice, its a common problem with BA and WM5, it isn't able to intialise the radio rom before WM5 boots.
It seems wierd that another sim worked on your BA, must be a faulty/damaged sim.
I also note you've tried the non-working sim on another phone and that works! Wierd that too!
Hope that helps,
Sunny

Have you tried to manually select the network in the "Phone" settings screen? I've heard of similiar problems being fixed by that.

well after i asked here and there and got disappointed with I-Mate people.. they know nothing at all
an IT in my company told me the problem is with my sim card. its damaged cause of the change in the battry power (as he says) it damaged the frequency that my mobile use to read the sim so there for it would work on any mobile except mine.
so i would change the sim but it needs me ages to get free and do that.
THANKS ALOT TO EVERYONE ATLEAST READ MY THREAD OR TRIED TO HELP
YOU GUYS HERE ARE THE BEST

By the way
sunny: the Radio is already 1.15 from ages. but thanks alot for trying to help me.
Fraser: I tried to manualy select the network but it says there is no network which is funny cause there is 4 networks in my area.. actuly im working with the same operator so im inside the tower LOL. the signal streth is the best here.
Thanks alot mates

No problem!
Thats what we're here for!
Regards

Same problem
I once had the same problem. Now I'm no genius when it comes to these phones and it actually took me a whole week to get an idea of what the hell happened to my phone. Basically, these phones are Quad Band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) and for some reason after I upgraded I lost my signal. I found a little application that let me reselect my band (its not built into windows for some reason) and that solved my problem. I just selected "Auto select" and the problem was solved after a soft reset.
Now, I can not remember what that application was but maybe that can give you an idea of what to search for.

No Service issue

Hi, is there more 'democratic' way to resolve this issue than reseting BA twice?
After installation of xplode's R4 for noobs an old version of R 1.06 was left on BA. Thinking that this was a reason for No Service of the phone I dumped latest R , but double f..reseting necessity still persists ...
Is that a normal thing to reset twice such an advanced device when you want even just to call smbdy? Thanks

there is a lil bug in my roms, after totally draining both bateries when you power it on it says NONE for radio you have to soft reset it again in order to work. I have never had a band selection problem but it is possible reason for this

Hi hi there! First of all please accept my deepest appreciation for such a great work you have done to make us - PPC ordinary users - little bit more happy Just one small note - is it possible to upgrade your downlodable R4 file with all necessary ROMs - Radio, etc., etc. With the intention that every Noob trying to upgrade his/her BA, should do it in a push of one button - not searching for separate latest ROMs and HowTo instructions? Thanks for your time!
P.s. Sorry it seems came out little bit off topic....

well it is possible but i have no time to do it. or you can try to copy the radio nbf file into the folder of the nk.nbf and run the upgrade utility

Any solution on this matter ? I am using Helmi MW6 ROM with radio 1.15.00 and i'm having the same problem.
I've searched the forum but found no solution yet.

oh my god, what a mess ..

i ve got a strange problem with my diamond :
from time to time, not reproduceable at all, i am not able to hear the person i am talking to. also, he/she is not hearing my voice. i ve done some research and some say it might be a shortcut which switches to headset mode. but : when i plugged in the headset while havin that problem, it didnt work either.
strange thing is : when i softreset the phone it works again. when i dont, it would never.
the guy at the 02 shop, no clue at all, said it might be solved by puttin in a new "special" sim card, which has been delivered with the phone. does this make any sense ?
do u think its a software or a hardware problem, as i might have to exchange it then.
also : i was using advanced config from the beginning and applying tf3d tweaks. could this be responsible ? (memory loss?) if so, how do i reset all changes made ? in 2.x theres no button for that.

No it doesnt... As long as the sim card isnt ancient it should work just fine. My phone wasnt delivered with any "special" card.
Tried a hard reset, blowing everything?

Agreed...go for a clean install from hard reset. Then slowly add the sw you use over a few days to try and find whats making the problem....
Good luck!

no wifi and quick GPS doesn't work

hello all.
no matter what the wifi doesn't want to come on in the comm manager. Even if it's clear storage booted. And gps as well doesn't work. what do I need to change/replace/repair?
any help appreciated

mines is doin the same exact thing but i can get wifi just no gps

You tried changing the rom or radio?

thats my next stop im shoppin for a good one now

I found quickGPS stopped working (continually failed to update and said it had never been run) after I updated the installed version of TomTom Navigator from 6 to 7 recently. In the end a hard reset and reinstall of TTN 7 fixed that. It was a simple process for me as my setup is standard other than the addition of TTN. If you want to resolve it by fiddling around with registry entries and cabs etc, then we need to know what changes were made immediately before the problems arose.

I think it may be a hardware issue more than software.
also kaiser tweak installs about 50% of the time when doing a hard reset. it can't find 1~temp file or so..
I think i'll just deal with and move to the X10/android. Windows doesn't care anymore and i'll never buy an apple product so android it is..
BTW, where can I buy a mainboard for the tytnII?

If you've got the money to splash out on a new phone then that's one option but why not save yourself some cash and try to get what you have working properly by spending as little money as possible first?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There you are keen to spend loads of money again. If it's just a mainboard that's required then you're best bet is to find a TyTN II which has failed through some cause other than the motherboard and use it for parts. By all means check prices with your HTC repair centre but it won't be cheap new.
Now, this is something I should have mentioned from the word go, in order to provide any sort of meaningful assistance, we need to know what ROM/Radio and SPL is on the device now and have any changes to these occurred? If you don't know how to find this out, check the xda-wiki for further info and may the force be with you. You mention wifi and quickGPS in the subject yet GPS (ie the navigation application itself) in the content, which is it?

I just have the ATT software that came with the tilt. I don't have a backup phone and have no experience with Romming so i've put it off. Maybe I should look into and give it a go...maybe that will fix my wifi/no quickGPS connection.
I think I do want to get the X10 because of the rez and screen and keep the Tilt as a backup.
thanks for the help.

Time to call AT&T if reading the wiki and hard resetting fails

You haven't mentioned what network you're connected through but if it's not AT&T (ie someone has unlocked the phone), then you will have some problems with the default ROM. If you do use it with AT&T then if you've already read all the relevant xda-wiki pages here related to the Tilt (it has its own page and you should definitly read it) and are still getting the problems you've described even after a hard reset (try the D Pad button method), why not see what AT&T have to say about things? I suspect a hard reset will fix it though if there have been no changes to the ROM/Radio or the SPL and you're with AT&T.

Internal GPS problems
I have also problems with the internal GPS of my TyTn II.
I changed the housing of my TyTn II because the old one was pretty trashed.
Now when I have new housing, the GPS doesn't work anymore.
Everything else is working just fine except that damn internal GPS.
I've tried three different navigation software which I have in my phone's storage card, TomTom 7, Garmin and McGuider. No hope, the GPS is not working.
McGuider can find the internal GPS automatically but none of those navigation programs are able to get GPS fix. I've tried Quick GPS and HTC GPS Tool. Nope, doesn't work...
OK, what should I try next? Hard reset? Or just accept the fact and get another TyTn II?
Well, maybe my TyTn II would still work with external GPS but I wouldn't like to a) purchase it and b) carry it with me.
