Weird incoming call problem Echo - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Guys i have migrated from the wizard to the hermes and now to the kaiser in the last 8 mths.. wizard with wm6.1 was working fine and smooth but the urge to upgrade brought me to the hermes.
but after 2 mths of the hermes ran into issues;every once in a while i would not be able to hear an incoming call instead i would hear my own voice (echo back). I blamed it on the device (which had been replaced 3 times under warranty) and moved on to the kaiser and here it is back to bug me...
is this a known problem or issue... i am currently running the latest HTC 6.1 WWE rom with 3.56hard spl
Weird thing is i got my wife a pantech duo and in the last few days she is also complained of the same issue that is on wm6.0
Any clues or suggestions.

I think it's a GSM issue.

the echo in all devices.. network problem.. your mobile provider is either undergoing a maintanance or need too..
PDA devices are very sensitive this why you have been picking it up before...
i had the same experience...

Not possible. They're telling me that they aren't bothering my phone calls.

Problems with WM5 Wizardsa v2a and Tuatara's

I upgraded BA to Wizard BA WM5 and found out that if i make call then the call will be disconnected within 1 mins only. Any idea guys?
It was ok in V1 but I get it in V2a and Tuatara's one.
It's REALLY ANNOYING. happens EVERYTIME!!!!!
yeah... This is happen to me too, even there is error in contact and calender apps.
Please KTmasa waht is your thinking? I really appreciate the guy out there working on it.
Looks like 2003SE is the best. No problems just lacking some of new stuff on WM5
My only concern with WM5 right now is the speed when GPRS or WiFi is on. I've just got my GPRS plan from my provider and I'm using it a lot, but it slows down WM5 way too much. As soon as this is resolved, I'm back to WM5.
Yeah, My calendar and contacts went bonkers after A SINGLE DAY OF USE!!! javascript:emoticon(':evil:')
Evil or Very MadI had to reformat the storage on my BA (Xda IIs). That wasn't very useful... I had to go back to mamaich's v3 patched... surprisingly, it is LOADS faster, almost on a par with my official ROM... and I've been using for a month without any problems.

This is also happening to me, but i also have the problem that when i first dial it hangs up straight away and then have to dial again, then hangs up after 1 mintue and it's driving me up the wall.
It seems really strange that i've only come across us very few that this is happen to. Could it be a hardware/software imcompatablity with our specific hardware.
Is there any way that i can get detailed information our hardware to see if we have the same.
Thanks

Sometimes no Sound from phone

Hi!
My tytn II w/ original WWE HTC Rom (installed apps: Tomtom 6, MS Voice Commanc 1.6) sometimes just makes no sound when I´m calling someone or someone is calling me. I just can´t hear anything from the built-in speaker nor from the speakerphone. Ringing and playing mp3 is working fine.
When I get that problem I have to restart the device.
I tried the search function but didn´t really find a solution, just for problems that occur ALWAYS and not intermittend....
Thanks in advance,
Ingo
I have the same issue and resolve it the same way.

How does it go with the original supplied headset plugged in? What does WWE mean (with regards to the ROM)? Have you made any changes to the device since you got it and if so does a hard reset fix it (that is if you haven't spent ages custimising things so wont be loosing much in a hard reset)? I've never had this problem with my TyTN II other than of course sometimes when the reception is dodgy but thats not a problem with the device.
As far as I know now, the problem is MS Voicecommand. I uninstalled it today and no problems so far.....

I have this problem too, but I don't think it's related to Voice Command because I don't have it installed.

Just FYI; WWE stands for World Wide English (or some people say World Wide Edition)

Why does microphone stop working then repairs itself?

My Vario III suddenly stops recording sound properly via the built in
microphone. If I make a call when this is happening the other person cannot hear me or sound quality is very poor and if I use htc voice-recorder the sound seems very far away with occasional loud distortion. If I plug in my external headphones and use that mic the sound is absolutely fine.
This problem seems to just appear and then can just go. A soft reset makes no difference. A hard reset or flashing the radio or rom has, so far, always solved the problem - until it happens again which could be in a few hours, days or even weeks.
I can't link the problem to any particular software that runs.
I've tried flashing several different radios. I still get exactly the same problem. My local repairer says it won't be the mic as they either break or they work - not coming and going as I have.
Has anyone any suggestions for what I could try to fix this? Suspect software? Should I just keeping working my way through new radio roms? Do you think it is actually the mic in the phone?
I can't find quite this problem described anywhere else so your help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.

Then go see somewhere else, they're not reliable...
A bad contact causing an intermittent failure is one of the most common problems in electronic devices...
I'm having the exact same problem on my Vodafone V1615. Funny thing is, my radio ROM was the same as yours when the problems began. I waited till the Vodafone V1615 WM 6.1 ROM update, and installed it. It worked, for a few weeks, and then the problem returned. Vodafone does not want to fix it for me
Hello tha_bulldog
When your mic stops working have you found a reliable way to get it working again?
Long shot but does this thread help??? The problem was the way the user holds the phone, covering the mic with their hand.

No Sound in Call (Intermitant)

Occasionally I have a problem where when making or receiving calls I pick up and there is no sound. If I Soft Reset I can make the call and it works fine. It's been starting to happen more often recently, and is really bugging me. It happens both when I'm using the phone speaker, and my headset.
what rom are you using? I have noticed the same thing the last couple of days since upgrading to L26 M2D v1
ah, here it is the same thread.
I use WM 6.1 htc version
Is there no bugfix?
Have you tried flashing a new radio?

data at info:
ROM: 3.28.407.0 GER
funkempfänger (i guess it's the radio): 1.65.16.25
protocoll: 25.83.40.02H
it was updated with the new htc 6.1 version what i've heard.
or can i downgrade it to a version that is working fine? when yes, where is the file to do so..
Right now I'm using Radio 1.58.16.27, I'll try another one, which do you recommend?
I was using 1.65.29.22, switched to 1.65.24.36 (I was using this with L26 diamond V12 with no issues)
had the same issue today.
hm, looks like a big upcoming problem for everyone...
what roms does everyone have? any "recently added" apps or changes?
ill start
L26_KaiserTouch_V1_M2D

Old thread but still, I've been experiencing this issue on the Hyperdragon series of ROMs from late October. Also had this problem in the past on some of Dutty's roms. The latest Raphael version (15/11/2008) has not exhibited this problem in 4 days. Only difference I can see is a slightly newer version of MSVC (1.6.19965).
Cheers.

I am getting the same problem intermittently, with a soft reset as the solution.
I am running a bone stock AT$T rom,recently upgraded to 6.1. It started happening post upgrade.
An upgrade problem?
same here... im playing around with different radios, it has to be a radio issue imo
I would just love to have this issue solved. It's not new whatch here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383539

My phone rings and notifies just fine when Texts,emails and calls come in. It answers just fine, but there is no sound. Then when I try to call people back, there is no dial sound and the call appears to not go through, until I do a soft reset, then all is back to normal.....................for a while.......................
I'm having this issue also. The other party can hear me when I answer, but I can't hear anything after the initial incoming-call ringing. A power-cycle restores normal operation but only for a while.
ROM: 3.28.405.0 WWE, 05/02/2008
Radio: 1.71.09.01
Protocol: 25.75.40.02.eMo
I'm in same boat as everyone else here.
Sometimes my phones rings, but when I answer I have no sound and other party can't hear me. Other times, my phone doesn't ring and all audio is muted (despite volume on). Soft reset is the only thing that works for me.
I gotta say this is really pissing me off. I'm missing lots of important calls because my phone doesn't ring when it should, or if I'm lucky it rings but has no audio so I have to soft-reset and wait 5 minutes for my phone to reboot & re-establish signal all whilst my clients are trying repeatedly to call me.
I'm willing to try other radios, but no one seems to have any working suggestions.
Thought maybe it was software, since I don't remember this happening after my initial WM6.1 upgrade. Uninstalling S2U2 didn't work (happened again today). Just uninstalled Voice Command, too, but haven't tested yet. VC's been flaky since upgrading to 6.1, working sometimes, failing to announce calls other times, plus occasional VC crashes at boot claiming "out of memory" which is blatantly untrue.
Just out of curiousity, is everyone with this problem using Voice Command, or just some of us?
Think I might have to go back to WM 6.0 since 6.1 didn't solve my Bluetooth issues plus screwed up Destinator...oh well. Schap's WM6 4.31 was best ROM anyway.
Anyone having any luck with this problem?
Like I said, I was running AT$T WM6 with no issues. The I updated to WM6.1 and started having these call issues.
Last week I flashed to HD III still no joy. SJ says that he is running the same radio as me, 1.65.24.36 with no problems.
Is it " my " phone? Microsuck 6.1 ? The radio ? Has anyone solved this with a new radio flash ?
I run a business on this phone and it is getting really frustrating, I don't want to go back to 6.0 just so I can get my phone calls?
I'm not just whining, looking for sucess stories.
Hi, havent been here in a while but i thought i'd add to the list. I have recently flashed HD3 (one of the early november editions) and it was without problems until friday when i dropped my fone. Ever since then i have had the intermittent sound in call which is only fixed by a soft reset (exactly the same as denco7). I haven't changed the radio since dutty's 1st diamond rom (a while ago) as i haven't had any problems but now im thinking about it.
Current setup (from device info):
ROM version: HD_III_Jade WWE
ROM date: 09/30/08
Radio version: 1.65.24.36
Protocol version: 25.94.40.06H
Not using MSVC
Recently flashed to HD III Blackstone hoping this might work but still having the problem.
I also flashed radios 1.65.24.36 and 1.70.18.02
and now I am running 1.70.19.09....... and it is still happening. It has got to be something in WM 6.1. Cannot be a software conflict, because it was happening when I was running bone stock AT$T 6.1 upgrade with no software add ons.
Again, I would hate to think that I have to downgrade to 6.0 just to get my phone calls.
Damn WM6.1 sound!
Well, I thought I'd let everyone know that I've uninstalled all my favorite apps from my Kaiser. No MSVC, no S2U2, occasional hands-free Bluetooth, and no A2DP. In that time, I've had only 2 incidents of no sound for the last 3 weeks--much better than no sound every few days or even several times a day. Don't know that the apps have anything to do with it since denco7 had same problem on an unadulterated AT&T ROM.
The big question is why do we all have the same sound problem but most WM6.1 Kaiser users do not (if everyone did I'm sure there would be a lot more *****ing). If we could reproduce it at will, we'd at least have something to focus on. Not knowing that, I'll have to guess and say that I suspect one or more of the following:
WM6.1 and/or the 1.65+ radios required for WM6.1 introduced some sound bug (deadlock, dereferenced pointer, etc.). The more apps that interact with sound and/or the radio, the more likely the bug will be triggered. But even if this is true, why does it happen to us but not to others?
The bug exists only in a particular base ROM source used by the ROM cookers. Still, should be affecting more people.
Maybe people who customize their phones are more likely to reset and clear any conditions that lead to no sound? Doesn't seem likely, but hey...
The problem exists only in specific Kaiser versions, perhaps even in conjunction with only specific WM6.1 builds and/or radios. I think there's been 5+ different hardware versions of the Kaiser line, but I can't find where I read this or how to tell what version your Kaiser is.
Bluetooth affecting sound? Got absolutely nothing to back this up other than WM6.1 supposedly fixed a lot of Bluetooth problems and during the time of my frequent lockups, I was using A2DP to stream an audiobook to my car's Parrot MK6000. Finished the audiobook & quit traveling so much, so I rarely used Bluetooth during the last few weeks when I've had only 2 no sound incidents. BTW, I upgraded to WM6.1 specifically because of the Bluetooth fixes, hoping they fixed the 100% CPU usage after finishing a hands-free call and fixed the A2DP dropping after calls. WM6.1 didn't fix either, so what did they do? Maybe their "fixes" just introduced new problems?
Possible dead zone f'ing up the radio and consequently sound? I offer this only because when I was working in a particular dead zone I had frequent sound problems. For some reason, my phone has problems reconnecting after leaving this dead zone and I have to reboot. Occasionally it would reconnect without rebooting, but I never correlated this to no sound. However, I haven't been there in weeks, and my problems with sound decreased (although I also uninstalled apps & quit using Bluetooth as much). Went there last Friday, and while I was there I found I had no Windows sounds. Could dead zones or even just temporary signal loss be f'ing up the radio and consequently the sound?
These are all just guesses--I'm just throwing out some possibilities so we can find something in common between us. However, I gotta say that if I don't find a solution soon, I'm going to switch back to WM6. Threaded messages are nice, but they're not worth this no sound headache.
BTW, I'm using:
AT&T Tilt (purchased within a month of initial release)
ROMeOS v4.21.1 (OS v5.2.20273, AKU 1.3.3)
Radio 1.71.09.01

HTC Tytn II freezes few seconds

Hi all,
First of all, let me wish you all a happy 2009
Since a few days my HTC Tytn II freezes sometimes: During several seconds I can't select items using the Stylus.. Even if i tap several times, nothing happens. It usually freezes for 2-3 seconds, not more.
I'm using the 6.1 ROM. I already tried a hard reset, and even without any additional programs installed, the problem occurs every now and then.
Anyone has an idea?
-moose
I've had this happen to me as well, but thought it normal just because of the OS being Windows. Sorry I don't really have an answer I'm learning all this stuff as well but did want to at least acknowledge your not the only one with this as an issue.
ok, but is it exactly what I'm experiencing? It's not always the case, only sometimes.. And I can't tell beforehand when it's going to happen actually.
I don't have lots of programs open when the problem occurs..
Par for the course with HTCs WM 6.1 'upgrade'
I had that problem with the HTC supplied WM 6.1 upgrade ROM (along with general unreliability and poor GPS performance). Reverting back to the WM 6.0 ROM/Radio/SPL seems to have cured those issues. Now the only problem I have is an occasionally laggy keyboard (or if I install the laggy keyboard fix here on xda-dev, then occasional pausing during media such as video and mp3 playback - haven't figured out how to solve both). I suspect your pausing is associated with radio/reception activity. Try turning it to flight mode as a test and see if it still occurs (not that the device is much use like this, but it will pinpoint the cause).
HI,
Thanks for reply. Do you know if there's an official (supported by HTC) way to revert back to the old windows?
I indeed upgraded recently to 6.1, and it seems that problems started after the upgrade.
You could complain and get HTC to do it

If your phone is still under warranty then just speak with the HTC Repair Centre for your area (in the UK they're in Milton Keynes). In my case because the GPS under WM 6.1 wouldn't work properly (and I was having the other problems you described), when I told them I needed a prompt solution they offered to revert it for free. After booking it in through their call centre, I left it with the repair centre in the morning and it was done at the end of that day. No there is no official way to do it yourself (even though one HTC call centre staffmember tried to tell me there was - the RUU package he referred me to was only for upgrading from even older WM 6.0 ROMs or reflashing over the same WM 6.0 setup, not reverting back from WM 6.1). There are unofficial ways as per instructions in the wiki so if you're not near to one of their repair centres (or object to the delay/costs involved with postage), then thats an option but make sure you know what you're doing first.
Assuming you have a European WWE HTC branded TyTN II, the setup in my sig seems to be working pretty well here in the UK.
The cure for this is to use the kaiser unlocker and unlock your phone. You will probably have to re-flash your radio after that but this fixed it for me. I only experienced after upgrading to 6.1.

I don't think thats an issue associated with any lock on the phone (although perhaps a lock may make it worse). My HTC branded TyTN II came totally unlocked to start with and after the WM 6.1 upgrade the problems came, after reverting to WM 6.0, they went - the solution seems simple to me if people can get past the 'against the grain thinking' of using an 'old' ROM for greater reliability.

I will confirm that this is happening on a HTC Branded unlocked TyTN II. I have had no experience with 6.0 on my TyTN II, as my phone came with 6.1 installed and exhibits the above mentioned behavior.
