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?

Hi,
I have a problem with my Tytn II. When I'm calling with the phone to my ear (not even with the speaker on), the sound on the other side regularly drops to a very low level, and then goes up again. I however, keep hearing the person on the other side of the line without a problem.
This happens in some calls, not everytime. And if it occurs, it occurs on some moments, a few times in a row, and then it works fine afterwards.
It's my second Tytn II already, since I exchanged the first one, which had exactly the same problem. I already disabled 3G, but it didn't help...
1. Anybody who has the same problems? Any solutions?
2. Is this the fault of the device, or is it a network setting/problem?
3. Anything else you guys can suggest I try...?
Update: I got me another device again (third one already), this time a Dutch version (since 2 WWE versions had the problem).
I still have the same problem. On some calls, I cannot be heard from time to time on the other side of the line, which is really annoying.
Could this have something to do with the 3G/data connection problem mentioned in another post?
Thanks
Nobody can help me...?
There are more people who have this problem. I just called to HTC support to report the speaker-problem. During the call, the person could not hear me at certain moments. But I was not using the speaker! She included this in the ticket. They have no answer at the moment.
Come on people... Please post your experience here, so I can be sure if this device is faulty or not...
Did you try to change the "Settings > System > Microphone AGC" Settings?

I think so yes... but I'm asking here to see if it's only my device that has it, or other people are having it too...
Nope, i have similar issues too. I find that when people don't hear me if i use Mute/Unmute, the issue goes away (at least for that call). Like you, i cannot always reproduce it, it happens from time to time, but no specific rule of occurrence.

Just noticed your posting. Yes I have this problem too. Am on Orange UK. I thought it was just the people I was talking to who were being ignorant & not listening to me properly.
Also noticed that the phone often just turns itself onto silent or vibrate even though I always keep both volume settings at full. Bizarre!!
If these two issues persist then I will be calling Orange as I keep missing calls due to the volume issue & secondly as it's a phone people should be able to use it as such.
*come back my beloved HTC Universal - your size is forgiven*
Sound drop
Hey people,
I've noticed the same here, i found another post on the forum that has the answer.
It worked for me.
This is what you can do:
Go to properties and the choose phone, then go to tab Band.
Here you change type network tot gms instead of auto. This wil increase your signal strength!
I'm kicking this post, since I got me another device again (third one already), this time a Dutch version (since 2 WWE versions had the problem).
I still have the same problem. On some calls, I cannot be heard from time to time on the other side of the line, which is really annoying.
Could this have something to do with the 3G/data connection problem mentioned in another post?
Just noticed this thread...
Same problems here, on an at&t Tilt.
My hope is that this is just a radio issue, and can be fixed in an update.
Finally I have found others with this problem! Thought I was going mad.
I sent my device back to htc and they replaced the board, but I am still having this issue. Sent it back to them today but now I dont hold out much hope of this being fixed now I see others have tried replacements. Very strange that only a few of us are getting it, even with different / devices new boards.
Are others not experiencing this at all or are they just putting up with it as it is a new device. Very annoying for personal use, but for business it is totally unusable.
Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this / how to resolve?
Thanks,
Steve
I now have the same problem after installing MS Voice command, I am wondering if everyone else in this post is using MS Voice command or is just a coincidence that the problem started after it was installed.
hmm
any fix for this then?
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
I am having a major problem making calls on this phone. when I dial a number there is no sound from the speaker at all. I can't even hear the phone ringing unless I put the phone into speaker mode. However the phone wrks fine for incoming calls
Am I missing something obvious here in the settings or is it more likely to be something wrong with the phone.
I had the same problem. For me hard reset solved it.
Just tried the hard reset the speaker is still not working.
To be honest when I first got the phone I had the same problem but assumed I was doing something wrong. I put the sim back in yesterday and it was working fine. Today the problem seems to have come back, so looks like it must be a hardware problem.
Anyone else with a similar problem.
Update - Speaker is now not working on incoming calls either.
Time to return for a new one i think
I agree. The speaker might have dodgy wiring.
Looks like its going back tomorrow. However from speeking to the guy at expansys today it doesn't look like there is'nt any stock left.
You could keep it for a while, then send it back when stock is due, I suppose. The new stock should have the improved ROM!

There are 2 sound controls . One for the system and one for the phone. Look at the arrow on top.......
Just recieved my replacement unit from Expansys. First thing I noticed is that on intial boot up the location was already set to london, the manuals are also european. Does this mean I now have a full UK release model rather than the original Hong Kong one. If so then I guess this is a bit of a bonus and makes up for getting a faulty handset in the first place.
Any other differences between the Hong Kong version and the UK version that I can check to confirm this?
I ourchased mine from expansys on 17/6/08 (i.e. it left them on the 17th) mine appears to have the newer European ROM, location was set to London etc. but the charger block came with an adapter to fit UK power sockets which makes me think mine is still an import.
However, I was able to register it on the HTC UK Website which tells me that my warranty runs from 5/30/2008 ~ 8/30/2009 - the site is also offering me downloads for the device (currently sprite back up and a hotfix for a charging problem)

You can check what rom version it is...as far as i know, the new uk models have a rom version of 1.37. So if yours has that then its the uk spec Diamond.
I have similar problems. After some random period of time, the whole phone goes completely mute. I can't hear anything,not even the dialing tone when making a call which is incredibly frustrating. I don't get notification sounds either,nothing. If I go to the ringtone options and try to play any ringtone I get an error message, that the file cannot be found or is corrupted.
The problem only goes away when I restart the phone,but comes back after one phonecall.
I've only had this phone for 3days, and this is my first wm-phone. I haven't installed any software yet.
guess im not the only one. no ringtone, no sms alert, no alarm sound, cannot hear person on the phone. problem is its so random can be working one minute, then all i need to do is adjust the volume and then its gone, or just sitting there working and then i receive a call and all of a sudden i can't hear anyone. i can live with a laggy TF3D interface but this renders the phone useless
People still expiriencing this like I am? I was watchin an divx-encoded avi yesterday after a softreset to enable sounds. Movie played fine for 10minutes, but after I had to pause it for a few seconds the sounds were gone again. Incredibly frustrating.
UK Rom here and also experiencing random issues with volume and notifications. Poor testing from HTC IMHO.
UK rom here as well and as far as i can see, im not suffering from any of those problems you guys are having.
To me it seems like you got dodgy phones...id get them replaced or fixed asap. I wouldnt live with a phone that acts like yours above.
Same issue here. But if this is really the case. Why does it work after a softreset then?
I believe more it's a softwarebug in the radiorom.
Any updates here?
Same here....Problem started today.
Speaker is working fine; I hear my ringtone and all other sounds, when I put it on "speaker" during a call it works aswell. When I just pick up the call I hear nothing.
I had the 1.37 ROM flashed and I reflashed it his afternoon with the new official ROM released by HTC to see if it solved the problem.
But still the same problem, soft and a hard reset didn't help either.
So I think I have to say goodbye to my Diamond..
I hope the repair service from HTC is fast, any one any experience with that?
I've having problems since i've bought my diamond. It's suddenly stops ringing and starts only vibrating when i have an incomming call, without sounds. When it happens I have to make a soft reset to it become normal again; but the same problem occours many times in a day! I tried to play music when it occours, and the speaker works normally. All volume (ring and system) are in the maximum. Every day i loose many calls because of this problem. I have already updated the rom version with the one provided by HTC hong kong, but the problem continue. I have a ring delay problem too; it rings on the 3rd time, after the lights flashes. Can anybody help me?

I have this problem but ONLY after listening to music over a bluetooth headset.
I know this maye sound silly, but when you test your phone to make sure it is going to ring, make sure the volume (buttons of side of the phone) is up full.
A few times I have been in 'normal' made, but the phone only vibrates - this is because I have somehow lowered the volume by pressing the side keys.
May save a a few blushes, you never know!
Help
Please guys, help us solve this problem. I dont know what to do anymore, and it is driving me crazy.
Thanks.
I noticed this behaviour on my Diamond last week. Not sure if it is related but I had similar problems on my old Trinity. When switching between vibrate/silent and normal sound profile Windows would not always register this correctly. Further investigation revealed the the system volume was being updated but the phone/ringer volume stayed at silent. Do you often switch between Silent and Normal?
Never got to the bottom of this on Trinity, although it did improve (happened less often) after I flashed WM6.1 over the original WM5. As there seams to be a silimar issue on Diamond I would guess that its either a WM6.1 problem or something to do with the way that HTC's profile switcher interacts with the OS.
Only thing I can suggest as that next time it happens you check the ringer volume either using the Sounds setting (Settings tab on TouchFlo) if its set to 0% then it may be the same thing.

do you have sound setting on ring THEN vibrate? also to fix your ring lag, try diamond tweak. there is a ring without delay tweak in there.
I have the same problem. I'm on 1.37 ROM - I only noticed it recently. All other sounds play fine, and the speaker volume is correct and it's not on silent or vibrate.
Phone setting is Ring AND vibrate, but trying Ring only doesn't work either.
I'm disappointed with this phone performance though think it's the Touch Flo. I tried a 1.93 but they took out the transitions - no idea if the ring worked then or not - but it was no faster IMO.
For god's sake a phone which never rings is bloody ridiculous!
I wish I kept on the original Orange UK ROM verison....
I like the idea of a hard reset - but have zero confidence it will work. I do know it will take 30 minutes minimum to set up push mail, apps and all the other stuff again.....
I have a similar problem, posted it HERE
Sounds don't work (ring tones and MP3s), I can't hear my dialog partner and they can't hear me. It's very odd. Only switching off the phone helps. I'm very disappointed with the phone's performance.
This issue has been reported before on the Tytn II (running WM6 and WM6.1) so its not a TouchFlo problem - if you search you will see instances of it cropping up all over the place but no 'official' response from anyone or indeed any sure fire fix to stop it happening.
In some instances people are attributing it to using a Bluetooth headset; on others, bluetooth has not been used at all and it has still happened. One of our managers at work had the problem on 3 successive MDA Vario III's (Tytn II) and then has had it again on a Compact IV, all running the stock ROM.
I would suggest it is an issue inherent in Windows Mobile, although it cannot be ruled out that its only in HTC's implementation as I have not heard of it happening on other WM devices. And it is highly intermittant - it would seem that if you have a device susceptible to it, then it will happen no matter what. If you don't, then it probably won't happen ever. So that, in itself, could point to a build/hardware fault affecting certain batches of devices.
I think if you experience this issue AT ALL, then you should return your device under the warranty and demand a replacement, and keep doing so until you get a good one. Until HTC admits there is a problem and does something specifically to resolve it, this is possibly the only option and might actually force them to do something if so many devices are being returned.
By the way, posts suggesting that it might be due to the user having inadvertantly lowered the volume don't help - while peoples input is encouraged, input like that highlights that you have been lucky enough to not suffer the problem. If you had, you would know that it is utterly independent of what the volume level is set to.

This issue has been reported before on the Tytn II (running WM6 and WM6.1) so its not a TouchFlo problem - if you search you will see instances of it cropping up all over the place but no 'official' response from anyone or indeed any sure fire fix to stop it happening.
In some instances people are attributing it to using a Bluetooth headset; on others, bluetooth has not been used at all and it has still happened. One of our managers at work had the problem on 3 successive MDA Vario III's (Tytn II) and then has had it again on a Compact IV, all running the stock ROM.
I would suggest it is an issue inherent in Windows Mobile, although it cannot be ruled out that its only in HTC's implementation as I have not heard of it happening on other WM devices. And it is highly intermittant - it would seem that if you have a device susceptible to it, then it will happen no matter what. If you don't, then it probably won't happen ever. So that, in itself, could point to a build/hardware fault affecting certain batches of devices.
I think if you experience this issue AT ALL, then you should return your device under the warranty and demand a replacement, and keep doing so until you get a good one.

Thanks for the advice, but I must go on searching for other solutions; because I bought it in UK and I live in Brazil. That's my problem. It must have other solution.
Nothing to do with the volume

do you have sound setting on ring THEN vibrate? also to fix your ring lag, try diamond tweak. there is a ring without delay tweak in there.

The ring is set Ring AND vibrate. The problem have nothing to do with witch volume the sound is set or the profile. And I rarely set the fone to vibrate only.
oh f**king great! I hadn't realised this was an issue and have not only unlocked my ROM but also flashed to a new ROM from the original!
Does anyone in the UK have an experience of returning a handset on Orange where this happened?
I can't find a UK Orange Diamond ROM anywhere but have flashed the OliNex Radio back to a stock HTC one......
Hello all,
I have got the T-Mobile version of the diamond (MDA Compact IV).
Sometime when my phone received a call and I press the on screen answer button, the other person can hear me speak but I cannot hear them at all. There are also times when I call someone and they can hear me but I cant hear them.
I have checked the volume control and it is on max. The only way to resolved this I find is to reset the phone. At the moment I seem to be doing a soft reset every other day and it is getting a bit annoying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
did you upgrade to 1.93 rom ?

I have the same problem and send it to Eurotwice for repair. It's there for 10 days and more problems has been found over there. Suddenly the screen and buttons don't function anymore. Eurotwice is still testing and there is no solution yet for this problem.

Temp Fix to this issue.
I have found a temp fix for this problem. When this problem occur during a call, press the middle button (circle button) which activate the screen, then press the speaker icon and you will be able to hear the person on the line and be able to continue the conversation.
Bare in mind, the moment you switch off the speaker, you cant hear the other person again It is very annoying that you have to use speaker in order to get the phone working. But at least you can use your phone meanwhile..
I really hope someone could come up with a permanent fix to this problem.
Hi all,
I have the same problem.
Is there a solution for this problem with an update of the rom ? I have the last official update from HTC (which updates the radio, etc.).
I have this problem many times on a day. My solution by the momment is to do a soft-reset...
Is there any solution updating to other ROM ?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have the same problem too.
Exact same problem here.
Can somebody please help out! I Really do not want to send my HTC for repair.
I don't think you have a choice. I tried changing radios and roms still having the same problem. It sucks ball that this problem is happening on another set of my diamond. The 1st set got repaired and its been functioning well for the past 4 months or so..
