Hi folks
I'm wondering if my Kaiser is defective somehow. On occasions, during phonecalls, people are complaining about not being able to hear me loud enough, then after a few seconds they can hear me loud and clear again, without me doing anything.
This happens to almost every phonecall I make, which makes my skin crawl each time, as I'm afraid I could be using an expensive, yet defective Kaiser
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so found a solution?
Thanks for your interest!
Possible App conflict
I encounter the same problem and found out that a 3rd party application (resco audio recorder) is the culprit. Aparrently I enabled an option to record all voice calls and in effect, causes the 3rd party not to hear me. maybe you have the same issues
Try uninstalling any applications that might use the built in microphone and try.
Otherwise, you could have a defective Kaiser.
Try a different radio.
i have the same problem too. What is the best radio to use???
Doesn't upgrading the radio require a ROM update?
Upgrading the radio does indeed require a ROM update, but this is not the same part of the ROM as you would flash for example the AT&T or Dutty's latest to. You can change the radio ROM independantly of the 'application' ROM.
For my personally, the .17 radio ROM seems to work best, but others feel .31 feels best for them. You will have to consult the radio ROM thread (Kaiser -> Upgrading) for further information as to how to change them, and which ROM is compatible with your system.
EDIT: Note that this may or may not help with your issue, I simply do not know and you will have to try it yourself. It's just a suggestion that may fix this issue for you.
well why the hell cannot HTC do this at factory??? they really are dumb arses.
i dont expect to have to play with a phone changing files etc just to allow the person i am calling to hear me.
I wish NOKIA OR SAMSUNG had made it
If you've got a stock rom and radio - completely un flashed from new, then the problem is more likely to be hardware related. If you've changed the rom then there is a good chance that the problem is because the radio also needs to change.
Check here for which radios work with which roms.
I can't help with which will work for you but I've tried most radios and I've found 1.27.12.17 and 1.27.12.32 work well with stanfard HTC rom and also all of Dutty's and Schaps roms.
Yah, the same problem and found so far a brick wall as far as resolution. I am unsure if new radio will resolve the problem as one user has returned his "tilt" phone 3 times under warranty just for the speaker problem and each time the speakerphone did not work even when "replaced". Also, other users have tried different radio/rom as well as "replacing" there phone through warranty: each time result the same; speakerphone did not work.
Here are a couple links relating to the problem but each time the problem seemed to remain.
Here is first post under xda (5 pages i think;relates to speaker problem; you will see users tried different radios and such but no resolution to problem ever found):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337931&page=5
here is another link from mobile planet that i started....
http://www.mobileplanet.com/ft.aspx?k=104689
resolution to this problem remains elusive. Some speculate that its due to non duplex design of the hardware while others speculate there might be some type of hack to correct this; but so far no fix has been found. Given the poor state of video drivers for this device; one has to wonder though if this is a software issue; but who knows.
Discussions regarding "callers not been able to hear me" seem to have died off.
I am still having this issue having tried many many different radios and roms. It's got to the point where I don't use the phone for calls anymore.
Today I flashed my phone back to the Taiwanese ROM and restored the OEM bootloader and went into the HTC service center. Of course the first thing they tried to do was test it on the spot by calling me in the shop. True to form it didn't show the issue which led them to believe it was more of a reception/network issue, even though I know it isn't. I have left it with them to send to their "technicians" and will await their outcome.
I asked another friend today if he's had the same issue where callers can't hear him and he does. Does anyone else still get "sorry I can't hear you" on nearly every call? I had always put this issue down to the crappy cellphone network in Taiwan but I had the same issue when I went back home last month where I've never had any phone call quality issues in the past (Vodafone NZ).
I'll post the outcome from HTC on Mon 6th Oct.
I'll probably get shot down in flames here but ...
The company I work for bought 200 Kaisers for our techs .... within a few days we people were complaining that the person on the other end of the phone couldn't hear them. It didn't take a genius to work out that with the STUPID mic location and the way you held your phone, the base of your thumb would completely cover the mic and make you inaudible!!
I do this daily without realising it!!!
Might be something to look at when/if I get my phone back. Out of interest... where is the mic???
The fact that the sound cuts in out out for my callers would suggest that it is a different issue though. It goes very very faint for them and then comes back to normal all without me moving or raising my voice.
Bottom right of the phone.... under the "reset" button.
Wow, I never knew that's where the mic was! Thanks!
That tiny hole next to the mini USB? It's almost on the back of the phone and definitely not close to the mouth when holding with your right hand.
I'll have to keep that in mind and see if it helps...
Yeah that's the one .... hold your phone in your right hand and let your hand relax a little and see where the mic ends up!! Completely covered by your hand!!

You're right!! I got my phone back from HTC and they couldn't fault the mic. When i got home I tested it with my usual hand grip and sure enough it blocks the mic completely and nothing can be heard by the person on the other end.
Fault = I have fat hands
Hopefully this thread will help anyone else with similar issues.
LOL ... I wonder how many they get daily due to this!!
I'm a leftie so my hands aren't blocking the mic. I also had this problem with the Qtek 8310
It now happened for the third time: The phone is up and running but when an incoming call is received it does not ring at all and the microphone + speaker is also not working (muted) - basically there is no audio at all though you can take and end the call.
Once the phone is in this state alarms and sound notifications are no longer working as well, after a soft reset everything was fine again.
I wonder if I'm the only user who has experienced this kind of issue.

well foo, i got it to, but i had the same problem wuth my diamond as well, it went away with tge officual rom update, so ill guess well have to wait foor the rom upgrade this time to.
Ah okay - at least I'm not alone with this issue, good to know.
It seems this problem is not a common problem, as I do not read any other posts regarding this issue in the Xperia section. Though I found a thread in the Diamond section that exactly describes my problem.
As HTC stated the problem is related to a hardware issue, I returned mine now. I'm lucky that Amazon.de just returned me the money (completely) so I can buy another one in the next days.
It seems I am having this problem with my X1i. I am in the US and the Sony Ericsson support centre in the UK is telling me that I would have to pay for shipping to and from the UK Sony Repair centre.
The following web page suggests I am eligible for international support and repairs, but I called the US Sony Ericsson line and they told me that since the X1 was not released here yet, that I would not be able to receive support in the US for the X1 (either for getting it repaired or a replacement unit).
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...endedserviceoffertailoredforx1/x1?cc=gb&lc=en
I would send it back to superetrader.co.uk and get a replacement that way, but they do not have any in stock and given delays in shipments in the UK I am hesitant to send it back and wait for new stock.
I am going to try going into a Sony Style store sometime this week and show them my "Travelers service" card and see if they can get it fixed here. Does anyone have any other suggestions I might try?
bluetooth problem with carkit and audio off
I folks,
i do also have the same problem. I have a SE BT car kit HCB 300 and it is just annoying, that it does not work proper. Sometimes BT works, sometimes not, sometimes i have to restart the phone, sometimes ... just annoying.
A lot of times Xperia recognizes the 300, then i am calling somebody, phone is giving signal to the 300, but after a few seconds, audio is off again.
After that audio is not working anymore.
Could it be, that your problems are also caused by the known BT problem?
Ingo
Exactly same problem
Exactly the same problem as foo.
If you remove and replace battery, sometime problem is solve, sometime no.
Soft reset solve the problem.
I made hardware reset + flash xperia but no solution.
I returned mine and bought a new one that does not have this issue. It really seems to be a hardware issue.

It could be, although I have not paired with a BT headset since buying it, and in addition I have hard reset the phone and put it in airplane mode (no RF at all) and the audio still manages to completely die where only a Soft Reset will restore the sound (as noted by x1inside).
Depending on the amount of time I leave the phone sometimes the phone after playing some music for 5 seconds will stutter and restore sound. This is similar to the description in the Touch Diamond thread that foo linked. Also when this stutter sound restores, as noted in that thread, the reception indicator in the system tray indicates that the signal is temporarily lost and then restored.

Thanks for letting us know, good to have this confirmed so when I visit the store or send it to Sony Ericsson repair centre, I can refer them to this thread.
well i also have the same problem with my x1.
reseting it dosent work, flashing it with new rom dosent work.
But i cant understand how the problem would be in the hardware, when you reset it it starts working! i mean if it was a hardware problem the sound should be of all the time?
Is there ant possibility if this is a software problem, i mean WindowsMobile 6.1, because my dad complaining the same behavior yesterday, and his device is Samsung Omnia.
Do all WM6.1 effected?
I got the X1a in the US. No problem here. When there is an incoming call and I was on the phone then it will beep to let me know if I want to answer or inorge. If I answer then it will put other call on hold till finish talking then connect me back to the first caller.
My x1 is also affected by this audio problem. If I restart my phone sound output works for some minutes and turns automatically off as the other users reported.
Same problem here just got an X1 and the sound works perfect after leaving it a short while the sound completely stops working no music, notifications or anything. By the sounds of it I think I will send mine back to O2 and get a replacement, although it does seem more like some sort of software fault than hardware to me, like the previous post why would it be corrected by a soft reset every time. If anyone has any suggestions before I send this thing back I will be happy to try them.
I returned my x1 and after 5 weeks of "repairing" I got called and they said it cannot be repaired and I got a brand new phone.
I had that exact same problem. I'd leave my phone alone for a while and then when I came back to it a few hours later, it would have no audio at all. I could make a call, the other person could hear me but I couldn't hear them and it wouldn't audibly alert me to anything...
I couldn't pin it down to any particular circumstances but it was always resolvable with a soft-reset. A hard-reset didn't cure the issue either. I just sent it back in the end. My current one is fine although I have now upgraded the ROM to the latest one.
I do have one outstanding issue though and that's that when sending a text, it sends immediately, flashes up the bubble saying msg sent, but the vibrate from sending the message will come about 10 minutes after or it'll do it when I turn the screen back on. It's not a biggie but it's a bit weird.
scarey
I have the same prob, but its strange that when pushing the MS-Voice-Controll button the beep comes and everything works perfekt again.
So I don´t need to soft oder hard reset, but it drives me crazy not knowing whether my alarms or notifications do work or not. BUT: I cant believe its a hardware problem.
same problem...
With 3-4 custom rom...
I'm trying with orginal ROM...
Any news?
Ok, this might be the first real problem I've had with my tilt, in a sense that I have no freakin clue what happened or how to fix it. The front buttons on the tilt as well as my keyboard decided they wanted to stop working and I have no clue how to bring them back... let me start from the beginning.
I installed m2d about 2 weeks ago, its kind of laggy but I'm still impressed with the overall UI as it compliments the tilt. Some bugs started popping up here and there but through the forum I was able to make it run relatively smoothly. Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts together. Than today my screen would wake up for no reason, with no programs or application running in the front or background of the device. It was annoying to say the least. Than I got my first text of the day and went to respond using the actual keyboard, no dice. No response from the keyboard. So as Im typing using the stylus I tried to delete something, and the backspace button on the touch keypad isn't working, so more problems. I want to try and hard reset the device to see if that fixes the problem, but since I can't use the hard buttons on the front of the device I can't hard reset (the scroll wheel, ptt, and ok buttons aren't working either) Is this anything anyone has ever heard of? My tilt is kind of battered after a year of use, but nothing significant has happened within the last month to make me think that something inside came loose, especially since this just started today and it was just sitting on my table all night. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance.
might be "m2d" not compatible ... hair wired ..
I wonder ..whether we can install window CE from pc to h/p through usb link ...
"Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts"
r u using original usb cable ..b'cos now a day I saw many only using normal "small" usb cable head which easily spoil the connector at phone ... too loose for that sharp..

ya it happened to me sunday night, having exact same problem. keyboard doesnt work, and my front buttons dont work exept for the the center button which ends up opening the start menu (wrong command). Im over my 1 year warrenty and not sure what to do. Had to buy a cheap 40 dollar nokia for the time being, please help if someone can. Oh and I did a hard reset, and it didnt fix anything. Booted android with it and 1 out of 5 times the buttons came back, this is really weird/vexing.

Exactly the same thing has happened to me!! Coming on randomly, draining the battery really quickly and the same keys doing the same things as yours i.e. nothing or Start menu. The backspace and space don't work on the on-screen keyboard either. Is it the end of the road or has anyone the slightest idea what the hell to do!?!?!?
Same issue but slightly different
2 days ago I started hearing a noise from my phone that was not something I normally hear. After checking my phone I found out it was the voice recorder program opening up on its own. It started repeatedly doing this and recording automatically. I had to hold down the close option (X) and before it would stop. AFter a reset and when the phone wakes up it always does this now. Along with all these whacky problems my hard buttons stopped working. My scroll wheel and D-pad sometimes work and only the up, down, left and right arrows work on the keyboard. Camera button seems to work sometimes also. All others have stopped responding. Except for holding the power key. I just reflashed my phone to latest phoenix ROM and problem is the same. Is this it for the phone or is there a fix.
Anyone??? Please!!
Try this free fix
I had the same problem as the original poster. My fix was to download AE Button Plus trial and use it to reset my keys to their original setting. I did not have to do the keyboard, just the external keys. Now my tilt works like it used to.
This fixed the problem when clear storage and reloading roms did not.
It doesn't hurt to try since the trial is free.
Good Luck,
Will
same here... help pls...
any one yet has found a solution for this issue??? 2days ago my Kaiser suddenly started with same problems, buttons dont work and the recorder goes on, any one yet found a way to fix it??? thanks...
I have no idea if this will actually help anyone but I installed japanese input on my kaiser once and during the process a registry got edited that stopped my hardware keyboard and the hardware keys (front keys) from working and the fix was to correct the value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010411]
edit the 0010411 value to "00000409"
again I have no idea if this will help but it wouldnt hurt to check to see if the registry somehow got changed. Goodluck and I hope you guys figure it out.
didnt work...

Any idea how to fix it??
keyboard fix "edfc" problem
yes , kaiser tweak slide wake disabled ...it OK
Greetings from Olsztyn Poland
Unfortunately, the problem returned it was only a temporary improvement, sorry
For my tytn2 after rom upgrade, the front buttons do not respond except the central one. the side buttons are responding under the win only but in the bootloader screen they don't respond. and I cannot make a hard reset.
I did a hard reset through the setting menu but still the problem has not been solved. Adding on that the keyboard doesn't work except the arrow keys.
Do anyone can figure a solution for that. except the hardware problem bec I am out of warranty.
Did anyone was able to solve the problem fully?
oo wow, i have the same problem. hope theres a fix
adding to that the the bluetooth is turnino on by itself even if I switched it off and the device by itself after time of switching it off it refuse to start again unless I did a soft reset.
I tried all the avilabe suggestion but nothing worked.
Hiya
This seems to be a problem with the TyTn II - there are several threads in this forum about it, none of which have any working solutions that I ever found...
I spent ages trying different ROMS, Radios and pressing of buttons and haven't found a solution - other than to disown the TyTn II and get another phone! I did pick it up again the other day and it is still refusing to have working buttons or keyboard (as reported by others, only the central buttons seems to work all the time as a Start Menu button).
I did manage to stop it eating battery at a ridiculous rate by turning it to specific radio settings rather than letting it find its own GPRS/ 3G and phone band. I think it was in this thread
I was considering sending my TynTn II to HTC, but I'm not sure it's going to be worth the postage and their service fees as I've already replaced it with a Touch Pro 2. Then again if we ALL sent them in, they might acknowledge some sort of problem with this model.

Hi to all.
My brother has a Diamond that has a problem with the internal speaker.
When answering a call, he doesnt listen to the caller.
The only way to sisten is to push the hands free swich, and then ramdomly, the external speaker is activating (the hads free), but... sometimes, the normal speaker start working like it has to be in a normal call.
I could think about a malfunction, but then, why is the normal speaker working sometimes, when he push the hands free button in the dialer screen?
I made a hard reset and nothing changed. So I changed the rom, but with no results.
I will apreciate any help
i had this last week 2 days in a row at the same point of the day.
in my case it was a WM bug that when i remove my headset in standby it sometimes keeps thinking that its still in... maybe you got this same thing?
..not in my case
Same problem here for motnhs
Hi eddyther,
I have the same problem for months now, I really tried to fix it changing roms and radios but no success at all, asked it several times in the diamond forums but nobody seems to be able to give an answer. Each time when receiving a call i can only hear the other person when pushing on the speaker (hands free) mode button. Even when I call someone I do not hear the phone sound of ringing, the phone only vibrates when connecting a call and then i have to push on the speaker mode to be able to hear the other person, very unnhandy and of course very very uncomfortable as everyone hears you. I have to say that it worked only time and it was with Cloudyfa_6.5.02 beta rom, but only once beacsue after a reinsallation it stopped working again. I´m sdesperate because everything on the diamond works perfectly except for this huge problem. I just hope that if you hear something you let me know through this thread, and will do it also, so we are at least 2/ or 3.
In a spanish forum, a lot of people described the same problem and they fixed it with the radio 1.08.25.20
My brother will try it today. I will let you know about the results.
In the meantime if you want to try, here is the link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R51L83FB
It doesn't work !
Nothing, oh god what can be wrong looking everywhere for a solution, theres must be something out there .... we´ll keep in tocuh ok
ok, so let's continue searching...
Eddyther, got a reply on a question I had asked on this issue and they say it can be because of having installed ones an incompatible rom, they advice to go back and splash the original rom once again, I will have to search and download the original spl and rom of vodafone , will let you know tomorrow if anything changed ok, perhaps we can get a reslt out of this or anywhere soon, because iñ really desperate.
I will try changing the mic. I found it for about 4 euros, and I have de service manual, for dissasembling.
I will let you know about the results.
About the rom , I changed it twice. I don't think the problem is there
ok let me know if it works ok, in that case please let me know where you got the mic and the manual so i can give it a try myself too !
thanks mate !
Guys, any luck? I'm having the same problem, as you can see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496058
Yesssss!!!
Yesterday I got the speaker, dismanteled the Diamond, changed the speaker, rebuilded the Diamond....and no image on the screen!!!
Opened the Diamond again, pressed the 2 connectors that are connecting the 2 main boards...., close it again...
And the speaker (and also the screen) work like a charm.
In total, 3 hours (i went very carefully), 7 euros (around 9 $), and a lot of patience !!!
So this is what I did (no pictures, sorry..but follow the service manual, that has pictures!!!))
1) got the speaker here (spanish site, but look for yours):
http://www.ssmoviles.com/altavoz-delantero-para-htc-diamond.html
It is "almost" the same speaker (but instead of 2 contacts for + and - he has 2 with a "V" form, that look like 4 contacts: anyway it feets perfectly)
2) Got the service manual, that has a "step by step" to desmantle the Diamond (with pictures) here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?jnh4f2ndyzz
(this is an alternative site, I don't remember were I find mine. If it is not ok, let me know and I will look for it)
3) normal small "star" screwdriver, plastic knife (like the ones used in the birthdays), for making pression on the main board, and small tongs
4) Followed the step by step dissassembling procedure of the manual (point 2.2)
5) Avoided the antenna cover dissassembling (no need for our purposes)
6) Arrived until page 25, disconecting the GPS coaxial cable, skiping the rest of the procedure.
7) continuig from page 26 (2nd step:"loose the power button cable...") until the 3d step (loose the volume button cable), and stoping there.
Now you can take a part the upper side, the one were the photo camera is. No need to take it out totally, only until you see (under it) the speaker, that is soft glue, and can easily be pulled out and replaced by the new one (no conections needed:it has only to be placed the same way, with the conectors facing the contacts), and assemblig everything back.
The only 2 special points to follow are:
a) being dissassemblig, and taking parts and screws out, put them in order on a paper and write their place on the board in order to avoid mistakes in the assemblig)
b) when you assemble the two parts of the board, that have 2 male and 2 female conectors, take care to gently but firmly press one board to the other in order to connect both of them (the first time I didn't press enought and the screen didn't work: I had to dissassemble the Diamond again).
At the beggining, it seems complicated, but beleave me, be calm, take your time, disconnect every connector with love, and it will be OK
c) last thing: don't look for the picture of the speaker in the service manual: it doesn't appear, but it is under the photo camera, belive me.
Good luck !!!!
Thanks, eddyther. I conclude, that is a hardware-problem since it works for you.
I think I will get my retailer to fix it instead trying to fix it myself.
You are right. I also thaught it was a soft/rom problem, but it is a harware one.
If you have guarranty, send it to repair.
It is not my case, so I decided to make a try...
brought back to SAT
Hi Eddyther, I changed mine back to original Vodafone Rom and I have send my Diamond back, hopefully they will repair it and will not see that I flashed many tims to other roms. Anyway if they won´t repair, i will give your method a try for sure !
Thanks
Good luck !!

Hi all,
Since a couple of weeks my X1 has the following problem.
- Key on the front do not work
-- Backlight lits up but no responce from key or wrong responce (starts dailing last number)
- keyboard no responce
-- keys lid up but no correct responce
-phone starts dailing last dailed nr automatically (phone laying on table and not touching it, it still dailes the last nr at random times)
-restarting no help.
-soft restart no help
-battery removed and wait >4 days... problem solved but returns after 3 days (give or take)
Had windows 6.1 installed at first when the problem started.
Now I have 6.5 SEX1 version installed but same problem occurred.
anybody ideas?? or even recognize the issue? could not find a simmilar issue
kind regards
Wally
Sounds like you have hardware issues. Still got yer warranty? If so, reflash orignal everything and send it back because its obviously more than a firmware problem
Hmm... sounds bad..... I have no Warrenty anymore.... does this mean my phone will slowly but surely turn into an nice brick.....
any ideas how to fix this... except buying a new one....
You could try disassembling the whole unit, and cleaning all of your contacts and ensuring that all of your connections inside are secure.
No guarantees it will help, but if you are at the point of giving it up for lost then it couldn't hurt.
Cleaned my phone today... took it appart to the last screw, cleaned it..... unfortunately no help.
Responds to the 1st button, then no responce to the following...
Well, if it's only the buttons, you could use an application like AE Button Plus to disable them alltogether. Then you can just only only the screen itself to control the phone.
Thanks for the suggestion, but that is not what I am looking for .... (yet)
I hope there is a way to fix this, hopefully somebody had the same issue and was able to solve the issue.... if not... I can always use that program then.

I've been lurking these forums for a while and I have never had, or seen reports of the problem you describe. I'm assuming you tried the search function (google) as well. If that turns up empty too, you're out of options.
Had a very similar problem when my phone got slightly wet, dropped from ear under tap when washing my hands. Problem didnt show for a few days so didnt think it was the water, but in case it was I heat soaked it by leaving it behind glass on a sunny day while charging. It got very hot but after a few treatments it was cured and has been ok for a year.
It realy was unuseable as the keyboard and all buttons were giving totaly false random responces.
Worth a try.
Yes I searched on Google as well... no help unfortunately.
Although I took my phone appart, and cleaned it so it should be dry.
I can always put in in the oven and heat is up to .. lets say 55 degr.C and leave it for an hour to bake..... need frosting on that afterwards....
tell you more tomorrow
just tried my luck using the oven.... no help.
I am out of ideas....
think I will try that buttonprogram afterall....
thanks for helping
