I was helping a friend root their phone and after a while we finally managed to get it done but now any time they connect the headset if someone calls it kills all audio on the phone until they reboot. I've looked for information on it and the only other thing I can find is on this point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4308374&postcount=3117
The suggested fix there is to reflash the radio which we have done but with no luck. Has anyone else had this and managed to fix it?
I have heard of other people with this problem and they used an app in the market called ongoing music adapter. At least i think thats what it was called. If that doesn't work then i don't know of anything else that you haven't tried.

Re-flash radio again and make sure it's the latest one (from HTC site or numerous threads here). I believe the one you need is 2.22.19.26I. Even if you have it already.. just reflash it once more to make sure, this is the ONLY cause of borked audio.
Good luck
I'll give both suggestions to my friend. I'll see how she gets on with the market app as it carries no significant risk before suggesting redownload and reflash of the radio again. Thanks for the help

So i got a diamond for about a month now, and im pretty happy with it except for one problem which absolutly drives me crazy, and pretty much makes it suck as a mobile phone.
Tried searching the forum but can't see anything about this, my only guess is it might have something todo with 3G weak reception.
i still don't know when exactly this happens, under what conditions exactly.
but basically this happens a few times a day.
The problem:
I will get/make a call while having signal.
I click accept
as it is trying to connect the call suddenly all reception is lost and i lose my signal.
basically it fails to connect the call
a second later i will have reception again.
if now i get called again, it will usually give me the same problem.
I have absolutly no idea how to fix this.
tried reflashing the official rom, but it didn't work.
i really hope this is an easy fix, as i really like this phone so far, but seems my wizard worked better as phone.

Hey aRnonymous,
It seems your radio is (1.00.25.05) quite outdated.....try this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432770
You will find many radios which you can use. Than you can see if your problem will be solved...probably a bad flash from your current radio is causing the problem you prescribed....
Good luck fella en let us know about your progress....
also...look @ my signature...this radio is working great (at least, in my opinion, you have to try many radios)

Hey guys. First of all I want to thank you all for detailed information and in advance for helping me I've got a really weird problem that I can't solve. I bought my milestone from a guy(second hand) and I found wi-fi and bluetooth is not working. I thought that I can solve the problem but I can't find any solution over all android forums.
I flashed some different ROM's but nothing affected the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problem. When I try to Turn On Wi-Fi it tries to start and then stops then again starts, it goes on and on. I tried to find original MAC address it shows 00:00:00:00:00:00. I tried to Mac Spoof but I can't change it from terminal.
And for the bluetooth I click Turn On then it tries to turn on and stops like I didn't click anything.
As a summary I lost my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Anyone can help me restoring it back to normal? Cause in my Area 3G is unstable and I want to use my home network! I can't use it any more. I'm waiting for the good responses.
Thanks in advance...
Please help. This is important for me... If someone helps me I'll donate 15 USD from paypal. Thankssss...
There are several possible reasons why it's not working. They include:
Bad hardware.
Corrupt software.
Non Stock Firmware.
To eliminate the last two, you can flash the appropriate SBF.
To do this, follow the instructions on how to get your milestone back to stock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
On the page to get sbf, scroll down to the 2.1 section and dowload the latest version for your carrier
This will completely wipe your phone, and make it like a new phone. If that doesn't resolve the issue, the problem is probably hardware related.
If this worked for you, please donate the $15 to xda. You can do that via http://forum.xda-developers.com/donations.php
Thanks for quick-reply. But i tried this one before. But it didn't solve this issue. I'll try one more time... How could hardware (both bluetooth and Wi-Fi) be bad? There must be a way to return it back... I'll update this as i try again the original file...

I'd assume that the same chip runs both as is usually the case for embedded systems. If the original firmware doesn't work, the it's likely a hardware issue.
I tried a new update and bluetooth worked for once. And then stopped again. And I sent to warranty they said they cannot change all mainboard cause it'll cost near phone's cost. And after I see Bluetooth works for once I thought may be it's radio based problem. How can I update the original radio update only? Thanks in advance...
I have got exactly the same problem.
I have already sent it back to motorola under warranty and they changed a few things. It work for about a day and then exactly the same.
I thought the update to froyo would work, it did for a day and then reverts back to the same problem.
Have you solved this yet?
First i want to thank hashcode and everyone who has helped him for the Great ICS build =] I realized that most the posts in the ICS development thread were becoming troubleshooting to basic problems [some by me ], so i decided to make this thread to help others.
Before you post with a problem make sure you have wiped /data/cache/dalvik and done a full factory reset. Also tried installing again. Please also state if you restored your google settings. This will help speed up the process in helping you.
Below are a list of fixes for bugs that have yet to fixed in an updated release, if there are more fixes please tell me and ill add them here. Have fun ;]
Input Selection Keyboard Fix by Androidsims
Go to /system/app and delete OpenWnn.apk and PinyinIME.apk and the chinese and japanese input methods will be gone. Along with the icon in the top. If you have another keyboard installed [such as swype] the icon will still show.
Apps are a bit laggy
use Rom Toolbox to set your VM heap size to 88m. I cant remember where but it was said that this is best to achieve a smoother experience with ICS.
Watch Videos on ICS
use the latest vlc for android. Have to click on videos via root explorer or another file manager app. Opening app directly just causes a force close.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517415
I also ran into my audio disappearing when a call was connected. I went back into safestrap recovery, repeated the wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delvik without having to reinstall ICS and audio was back. Anytime things start getting buggy this is usually my first step before reinstalling.

I combed the ics forum and found issues similar to this but they were solved with methods mentioned above. The fact that you tried all this already makes me feel the problem is unique to u. Try booting into nonsafe and see if you have the issue then. Sorry for the late reply btw

Better that no reply thanx for the help. But I have installed multiple different roms so far and they all work fine, and last time I was in non-safe mode it worked fine but im not sure if at the time ics was installed on my safe system(not sure if that matters or if that is what you were implying or not). So on BT you can make calls and receive calls with no issues? Mine is kinda weird, when I make a call the static is speratic, when I dial out every time it rings there is static and then I can hear the ring (constantly), when in a conversion every couple of words of the caller is static as well.

Not me. If you scan drom page and past in the ics thread someone was talkin about that issue. I can't remember the exact page and I'm on my phone but look in those sections. There issue was different however but I believe it was still solved with a wipe. I think they wiped the delvik too. But I've read all the posts in the that thread though, I don't think there was anything about static. I reccommend you go ask in there because hash can probably help best.

My biggest complaint (maybe user error):
Pandora isn't playing audio over my car speakers via Microsoft SYNC. I get successful connection with my car, but I just can't get it to play through the speakers.
Haven't had a chance to test out other media apps.
Does it use cable, 3g, or bluetooth to hook up to the speakers? and to the person before, i havent seen a solution at all with the bluetooth, i think it something Hash will have to fix
Sorry forgot to specify. This is via Bluetooth.
I haven't tried USB or 3.5mm connections yet. I don't keep them in the car since I haven't needed them before.
Edit: I should also mention that audio does play through the phone's speaker. So even though it's connected to BT I'm still only getting sound from the phone's speaker.
Ah thats what i was thinking. I think these bluetooth issues need to be brought to Hash attention as its more than one person experiencing problems with it. And its seems to be solely with bluetooth. You shuld report a bug with it to him in his tracker here
http://www.hash-of-codes.com/tracker
As for help i can tell you to make sure you also wipe your dalvik. I have forgot to mention that to people. Instructions from hash ;] Other than that because im no hashcode i really cant code anything to fix the bluetooth. Report it thought and hash might be able to fix it in Alpha 3
Thanks. Yeah I've been looking for a place to provide feedback and just ended up here.
How do I wipe dalvik? I've seen that mentioned every where along with cache data, but I got list on dalvik.
Boot into safestrap, go down to advanced and click that, and then you should see it. its the second or third option i believe
I must have looked over it. Thanks, I'll check it out.
On another note, 3.5mm plug in works fine in the car. Also, I connected via Bluetooth again and tested out calling. Hands free calling seems to work fine with SYNC.
If hands free calling is working clear then it might be an app error. Is this error with your nonsafe rom? If not then I'm thinking their are still some compatibility issues between apps. I'm going to email both app developers and see if they still have bugs with ics or know anything.
Edit: I reread the thread again. Also look into your settings. The fact that the phone isn't even trying to send the audio over bluetooth is sounding like it doesn't know it has to. Make sure all the settings for both apps are correct and that this function is availible for this. I'm going to do a little research before I email the devs for help and ill tell you what I find
I still have safe boot enabled.
I forgot I was going to try out Amazon Cloud Player. I'll test that tonight yet. I also have to test Pandora since wiping dalvik. Not sure how much of a difference it would make.
I did double check the settings both times I've tried it. I don't think I've looked over anything. So maybe there are compatibility issues with the Pandora app. Cloud Player may be a good test to that.
Amazon Cloud Player does the same.
Turns out SYNC doesn't see my contacts. I have to use the phone to pick a contact but the dial tone plays over the car speakers. I'm thinking it is a Bluetooth issue related to this alpha #2 build.
Greetings!
This is my first post in this forums. They've been very useful to flash, check updates, etc and I've never had the necessity of posting anything since I've cleared mostly any doubt I've ever had about my Android devices. This time, after searching all over the forums and in several other sites over the net I haven't been able to find any solution to my problem. Let me expose it:
Few months ago after having flashed my device to different ROM's, my friends started to tell me that they couldn't hear me well during phonecalls. The sound was not clear enough. They could hear, the volume was ok, but the phonecall the sound call they would recieve was not well.
I thought that this would be related to the hardware, maybe the mic was broken, because once I was thrown into a swimmingpool and I saved my phone by putting it into a jar with rice and letting it rest for few days. However, I have used other programs such as Skype and done the test phonecall so I could hear myself and it went verywell compared to call recorder app tests or regular call, the sound was much better. So I guess that the microphone is still okay and the problem is related to a setting issue that haven't been changed with flashing to different ROMS.
I've been running several ROMS, most of them based in CM7 and I'm now back to the latest stock ROM for America (2.3.5) and the problem is the same.
Any advice will be very apprecciated!
Yeh, if it doesnt work change the mic !

Thanks for the answer.
Actually, nothing of the posted above has worked out. If its a software problems how changing hardware would work?
if its still there is a problem after flashing stock one...than its probably your mic need replacement..!

I just cant figure how the mic works well with skype and not with phonecall and how changing de mic would fix it
I don't know if it is the app or another problem but when I make voice calls, people on the other end of the phone can here their own voice just after speaking. So when I talk back/reply they hear their own voice along with what I am saying. It has become almost impossible to talk to anyone because people just hear their own voice on top of what I am saying.
I clean installed the official stock firmware and the problem still exists.
Can you please suggest me how I can solve this problem? :crying:
@pleomaxell
To be frank , I've searched for the explanation of the settings all over the web, but couldnt find any.
Moreover, I got no such problems. All my audios and calls seem to be louder then before. I pretty much use the 'quality settings', and sometimes use the 'custom' one.
Coming to your query, have you tried uninstalling then making a call.?
Just to see if no such issue arises

If all fails, maybe you could try a factory reset. Provided you backed everything up using the titanium backup app
