Bare with me here guys. Im no stranger to the search functions, and days of reading.
I started with cyan, went through many builds, eventually noticed my sound wasent as strong as some other peoples phones, So i did got with that free audiohack, v2 only i believe.
So that helped, life was fine.
Last week, I nandroid backup my fone working phone.
Installed eugenes eclair build, nandroided that
Installed sensehero, nandroid'd that.
So in all of that swappen around, I went back to my nandroid of a working cyan 4.1.5 to see all my lil things were MIA, found out that was on the EXT part of the SDcard, no biggie.
So i keep using my phone like that, weird lil apps mismatched and not working, saying i have files installed that i dont [that were from a different ROM on my phone]. I deal with that for a day or so, then finally decide to format my SD card, repartition it, install the regular HTC OTA rom, then cyan as usual, my phone worked fine again, i do everything its fine. Installed the free-audiohack, to my knowledge doing everything right, and my phone was loud, and running great.
Then all of a sudden, I get phone calls where my actual earpeice would be regular volume for a second, like split second, just enough to tell it WAS loud, then go to a really really low sound.
It drove me nuts, i tryed everything over again, and now im at the point where my actual ear-speaker makes no sounds, at all. Speaker phone works fine, but nothing for the actual ear piece.
Anyone? Anything? Please?
If someone can help me from buying a new phone, Ill donate funds.
Sorry for the long explanation, just trying to be thorough. Flame me.
um...from an enthusiasts perspective, i would try starting from scratch (backup your NANDroids on your pc) then try going back to stock and re-rooting. It's worked for me in the past with degrading hardware issues. If it doesn't work, your g1's speaker is effed and you need to either replace it, or even easier, buy an additional g1 (craigslist, ebay etc.). You can find a replacement for 100 u.s. dollars quite easisly
My earpiece isn't working either, I'm not sure how it happened this time. It has happenes before, and I had to go back to stock, re root and re flash everything. But this time is not working :-S I don't know what to do... I'll probably try it again, but this doesn't make me very happy...

my diamond is playing up, there are no sound at all from earpiece, ringer or loud speaker after every 30mins to 1hour,
once you restart the phone and its works again, then gone within 1hour, have to keep restart the phone
here what i have done:
i run this RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship
Still not fix
then this
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v5.6
still not fix,
i dismantle the phone have a look is anything simple loose connection and such, but there is no sign of that or no sign of any water damage.
please if you have any idea to share here will be much appreciated
thanks
Same problem here...
looks like still fresh this Diamond phone, no one have idea yet to rectify this issue
still waiting.............
if it is fine to begin with, and then it goes after a little while, i would say it is not a hardware problem, but a software one.
especially as you have tried it on more than one ROM, it suggests that you may have installed something else on to the device which may be influencing it.
Hard reset and sycn your contacts etc back to the device, but do not install anything else, or do any tweaks at all.
let it run out of the box without any changes for a 24 hour period.
does it still happen?
if yes, send it back.
if no, start putting everything back on one by one until the problem re-occurs, trying the device for a couple of hours after each install. when it fails again, you have your suspect which is the last thing you installed or did before it failed again.
course, it could be a dodgy device, but make sure before you go through the hassle of sending it back, cos it could just be some software that doesn't like wm6.1.
Rooting your phone has benefits and all, but after spending countless hours on this site, I think my phone MIGHT have been better off left alone. the speaker and mic randomly stop working (usually right as i am about to receive an important ass phone call, or when someone is calling me back), making it UNUSABLE AS A PHONE... and it IS a phone after all. the dialer lag was bad when it was stock, but now it is soooo slow it is unusable every now and then. ive never found a way to fully back up my apps, so i pretty much just lose them all every time i flash, and re load them as i need them, usually forgetting half of them even exist.

I take it you use a Hero.... well, if it works like a myTouch or G1, can't you just unroot?

Have you tried different ROMs, or just one?
I have a Hero, like him. You should go back to a 1.5 ROM, some people have audio loss issues with 2.1 roms. Check out my 1.5 ROM, Souffle here if you're interested
EDIT: Whoops the download's down. Hehehe. Check out Fresh 1.1 here for a rom that you can actually flash lol.
I have only used stock ROMs. I understand that some people love the aspect of setting things up and trying new stuff out, but I just need my device to work and it does. Sure, my programs list takes 5 seconds to load (OH NO!!!!!!!) and my home screen doesn't have 3 shortcuts below my schedule for the day (STOP THE PRESSES!!!!), but it works.
I have no speakerphone sound on my captivate. No 3g noise on boot, no speakerphone, no pandora, youtube, or ringtones... The phone will vibrate, and play music out of the headphone jack, or while in a call, but not in speakerphone.
This started while i was running Cog v5.5, but I did have sound initially in 5.5.
I am now running 8.1 and the same thing is happening.
I posted in that thread and 10+ pages later, didn't get a response.
I'm wondering if there is just a setting I missed, or if i need to do more of a factory reset when i install beta 9 tonight. by more of a factory reset, when i upgraded roms, my internal memory card still had all of its data on it from the previous installation.
Please help
Don't know if you saw my respose in the other thread.
I had this same issue recently. The fix for me was to take the back cover off and gently press the speaker back into the phone. Apparently it was just the slightest bit loose. Hopefully that is all that is wrong for you as well. I too did a system wipe an re-install for this issue, but the speaker being loose was the problem.
tried that, and same thing. If i cant figure it out soon, I may just restore it to stock, and trade it in with att

My first one did this after about 2 weeks. I took it to AT&T and they swapped it out for a brand new one.
I hope thats not the case, but if I have to, it should be pretty easy to get back to stock config
speaker broken
my speaker is also not working properly. Works intermittently, requires lots of real hard pressing down on speaker face to get it to go, etc. it is not loose, so i think this could be something in the software of the phone....I am stock all the way, 2.1 and not updated. I am also beyond 90 days on my phone.....any ideas?
W
Wow, I had the exact same issue come up, and pressing on the speaker actually fixed it. Three cheers for percussive maintenance.
I would like to keep this short and sweet so...
Basically heres the low down: I got a G1 almost a year ago, got into Rooting/flashing 7 months ago. I noticed in the beginning almost every rom was giving me a problem, Freezing up, hanging for long periods of time, etc. I eventually found a very nice, stable rom thats been lasting me for about 6 months but as of late was being horrible. Force Closing everytime I got a text message, REALLY Hanging for long periods of time, freezing up. Etc.
So I finally got FED UP, and decide it was time for a change, so I grabbed MLIGN 3.3v having seen so many good reviews and what not, thinking it would be the remedy to my poison. I cried. So in short, here is whats going on:
1. It seems to only wanna cooperate when Plugged into the USB, which, isn't too practical.
2. When not plugged in, it is NOT sluggish, but when loading into apps I've noticed it will hang for quiet awhile or completely lock up to the point only popping out the battery will work.
3. I haven't noticed it yet, but on the old ROM it would randomly shut off during phone calls; which leads me too....
4. When ever I shut the screen off (by pushing endcall) it seems to freeze and lock up and eventually either SHUTOFF or REBOOT into a SHUTOFF of the phone and refuse to turn back on until it has been plugged into the USB, or enough time has passed for it to 'forgive me' and by that, I mean randomly work again.
5: Various other things I cant think of right now.
So, basically thats almost everything. Whenever its plugged into USB though, it works like a charm (for the most part).
Would a problem with my Battery be the case? Which, would be awkward but a possibility.
Or did I just do something wrong?
I made sure to factory wipe the phone twice, even 3 times on the last go, I updated the ENG.SPL and Radio every time I tried to reflash just to make sure.
I partitioned my SD Card for 32MB Swap; 512EXT2 (and 7xxEXT2 I forget what it was) and I also upgraded it to EXT3, which showed some improvement... I believe.
So, I just would like to have my phone working, in a peaceful, obedient manner xD.
Forgive me for the block of text, and all help will be appreciated. Thank you guys... I await sound advice
Try different ROM? See which one works best.
Like me, I found that SuperAosp is best suit for me (see my sig for DEV Site and Download, if you want to try it). It had been running fast and I had no issue, what so ever. Occasionally when I loaded apps that hogged the power usage it gets lags, but still good. FCs are at minimal to none (that's just because of the way I handle the apps). Once in a while I noticed that it reboot, when I tried to use the apps that hogged the memory (maybe that was the apps issue).
Only other thing I recommed is to download a different launcher, because the build-in ADW Launcher does not work too well in my opinion.
Another thing, if you wish to keep the ROM you had. I would suggest to change the partition size. (IE: Catch [128MB]/Ext 2 or EXT 3 [1024MB]/ FAT32[the rest]) Now I know other people might say that it's overkill, but to me my G1 performance it great.
I've tried multiple roms as of late, and the one I like the most does happen to be MLIGNs... everything seems to be working correctly for the most part with the exception of what I listed above... Now on the like, 23rd reboot most of the sluggishness that was there before is gone, and everything is pretty much being cooperative, with the exception of like the weather, which isn't updating properly but I can live with that. What I cant live with is the fact that this ROM when not plugged in, will freeze up when in the lock screen, a few minutes after it has darkened and gone black and wont respond at all. Or I'll unplug it and just do a test, swipe left, right for a good minute or two, go into apps and It'll just SHUT OFF. Maybe it really is the battery? I'm unsure. When I look at the battery it does look quiet bloated... I am unsure...
I'm gonna try to set it to what you recommended, and see if that works...
I don't think it's the battery.
Have you tried reformat/partion your SD card (be sure to backup your data first). See my last comment on sizes recommendation for each partition.
Also check on the swappiness setting.
Mhm... so I went back and followed everything you told me to do, including repartitioning to the exact file sizes you told me. (Also I'm guessing Cache meant Swap) So I set everything up and its really blazing fast and stable.... until I remove the USB cord. Then it shuts off, freezes at lock screen when the screen is dimmed to black, and will just randomly shut off while doing things (especially when trying to get into messages)
Also if it helps, I have a Class 2 8Gig SD card, and my Recovery is Ra 1.5.x(I forget.) I'm completely confused... I dunno what to do... I would really like this to just work and stop being a hassle D:
Hmmm, Try reading this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010932
See if it helps.
Nothing :/ Its okay... I'm gonna go play around with other roms, completely re do my phone, make sure everything is updated etc. Then go from there.
Thank you anyways, you were a big help, reguardless of my phones triumphing retardism
Hi guys. All of the sudden my earpiece died. I'm currently running Cognition 4.2.2, and I love it, but I'm not entirely sure that is the problem. I don't really want to have to re-flash cognition, because it's just a pain to reinstall everything even with titanium's batch operations... but if I have to I will. Anyways, I've checked it with a wired headset, it works fine. with a Bluetooth headset, it works fine. on speakerphone, it works fine but people can't hear me well. when people call me or I call them they say that they can hear me just fine but I cannot hear them at all until I switch it to speaker or my Bluetooth headset.
Has anyone encountered this issue? is it cognition, or the phone's hardware?
My phone is still under warranty, and everything else works... (except I think the battery is going bad) but that's another issue. If it's hardware, I can Odin it back to the stock rom and then see if they'll replace it under warranty for me.
(if I have to do that, can I transfer my titanium backup to the new phone so I can just flash cog and restore it to it's former glory?) If not, time to get my new inspire I guess.
Thanks guys.
well theres one easy way to find out if its the rom.
flash a new rom.
you should flash stock so if it doesnt work you can reutrn it!

I think we Canadians can communicate telepathically, because that's exactly what I was thinking. Good job picking up my signal, when I'm all the way down here in New Mexico =P
But anyways, I was going to do this if I didn't get any other ideas to try... just a pain to restore but oh well.
as far as restoring the new device if I get one, can I just drag and drop the titanium folder on my phone to my comp, and then to the new device and run titanium from there? or will it not work that way?
Saying goodbye to this cappy will be so sad though... I'll miss my silver speaker mod.
Yup, itll work that way. Did it on my sisters bf's cappy cause the dumbass threw it and broke the screen. I had to boot it to recovery and hold my working phone in the other hand and synchronize button presses to guide me through getting to mounting it. Copied over the entire sdcard, once the refurb got here just copied over all his **** (which had a tibu folder) flashed him to ff, restored and it's like he never chucked it across the damn room.

Alright. Cool. Thanks! shouldn't this work with my inspire too, as long as I only restore apps, not data?

i needed a good laugh this morning...
ya tibu restore apps (+ their data), no system data... (well maybe the green ones if you want, theres 8)
Interesting... phone works just fine after flashing stock...
Cognition problem it was, or so it seems.
Time to flash back. See if it fixes it.
