Kaiser will not ring

Its not ringing when a call comes in. It also does not vibrate.
The sound is up on the PPC and Ringer and if i go in to the phone settings it will play a ringtone fine.
Any ideas?

may be a reset might help? It also happened to me and after a reset, it all works good.

Don't know if it's the same thing with me, but my kaiser also at some point of day refuses to ring (still vibrates ok). It won't play mp3s with GSPlayer or MediaPlayer. Sometimes you can hear the song playing really quietly (only hear it if you press your ear to speaker).
It has happened like that for 3 days now. The sound will come back if I hit the tytn II gently (more like knock it). Althoug since today I'm not sure if it's the knock or the keyboard moving wich brings the sound back.
Any ideas?
What I've tried so far:
- Muting, unmuting
- changing volume
- soft reset

hard reset it. may be some programs you've installed might be conflicting. If the hard reset don't fix your problem, then you have a faulty unit. You can also try pocket mechanic to clean the registry and stuffs. Very helpful program.

Ok, will try hard reset.
Although I doubt it will help. Before hard reset, there was some very faint sound coming from the speaker. And speakerphone didn't work at all.
Back to resetting...

Try to change the ring tone to a different one, mine was doing the same thing it would only virate, I changed to a different ringtone and it worked fine.

I did try to change the ringtone. Every time the problem emerged. The problem was that the ringtone wasn't the only thing not playing. There was no sound for any of the events. And the speakerphone option also didn't work.
I did a hard reset last night. It didn't help. So I gave it up and went to sleep. I left my tytnII on a USB connection to my laptop. In the morning I checked if the problem was still there and found that the sound is back - the ringtones work.
I put it back on USB connection to sync. Copied an mp3 to test if it can play it (it has played it before). And there the sound went again - I can only hear it playing faintly if I hold the speaker to my ear. The ringtones won't even play when I check them in notification sounds setup - not even the default built-in ones.
Could it be a temperature issue? The tytnII sound was fine when I picked it up in the morning, it was room temperature. But it gets slightly warmer when I charge it or sync it.

I have done soft resets. I can play sounds in the phone settings options and music plays it will not vibrate when calling.

Resolved it was the 3G Dialer app causing the issue.Now i need a new one i hate the orange look....

I had an issue like this, but it was due to ringtones stored on the storage card ... and when the phone would wake up, since it takes the storage card driver a few secs to load, it wouldn't ring.... and I resolved it by moving my everyday ringtones to main memory

the thing is the rings are not on the card......

Maybe its the rom's radio
sleuth started to explain this in his upgrade however no one explains how to downgrade the radio. I believe mine is doing the same thing however I get no sound. maybe its the radio.

Draqula, did you solve your problem? Im having the same issue on my tytnII. I cant hear ANY SOUND. But if I play an mp3, for example, and I knock close to the speaker, the sound starts.
Any ideas?

My problem solved: The speaker was changed under warranty.

Crackling Speaker - Need Help!!!

I am having quite an interesting problem with my Kaiser. Yesterday, after doing a hard reset on Dutty's new WM6.1 ROM, my external speaker seemed to have stopped working.
I can make calls, and hear the other party through the phone speaker, but I cannot hear my phone ring, mp3s, screen taps, or the speakphone. Basically, any sound that is supposed to come out of my external speaker does not work. Sometimes I hear crackling, and some faint distorted sound, but this last for 5 seconds, and then all sound stops. If I'm on a phone call, everything is ok and I can speak and hear whoever I am talking to, but the second I turn the speakerphone on, sound will stop or crackle then stop.
I did a hard reset, and got nothing. Reflashed the ROM, same problem. Flashed to a different radio, same problem. Then I flashed back to the original HTC ROM and radio, and still have the same problem.
Obviously, I am thinking its a hardware problem. Their weird thing is that I haven't dropped my phone or done anything different to it. It spent the entire day in my pocket. Since I'm in Canada and cannot purchase the phone here, I bought it from a third party through eBay and therefore do not have warranty. I will probably take it to a local phone repair shop tonight, but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem, or if anyone has any suggestions as to how to fix it.
Any help or input would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Sometimes no sound when being called. Please help

Hi,
I got a strange problem here. Sometimes (not really reproducable and I recognize no scheme) when I am called and receive the call I do not hear a single thing until I press one of the volume keys at the side. But the caller understands me fine. I got an original HTC device and had this problem with 1.37 and also with 1.93 official ROM now but it seems to be less often with the new Rom.
Friend of mine who also played with the thought to get the Diamond told me he read that on various boards, but I never heard of that problem from anybody else.
Guy at service told me it could be my sim card, because its that old (i got the same sim card for about seven years now) - but he also told me you should get a new sim every six months, so... kinda sounds like crap to me.
ANYONE experiencing similar problems? THANKS

My Diamond dont ring either... so I had to use vibrate so I could atleast feel it
Havent looked much into it yet though

No i don't mean ringing. I Mean sound from the internal ear speakers.

Mine does exactly the same!
The caller can hear me fine but I cannot hear them talking to me.
The only way to hear them is to put it on external speaker.
I wonder what the problem is?

Well its not with all calls. Mostly it only happens when Mum is calling well maybe its not that bad
No, but I can hear them after I press volume keys. I am getting a new sim card from my operator these days, hope this will fix it.

If it's possible that you touch the "MUTE" on screen during the call?

hi DDBrain
if you Mute the call it should be the other way round, you can hear them, yet they cant hear you

I am definitely NOT touching anything

im getting the same problem, except mine is for outgoing calls as well. It seems to be intermittent, The only way it fixes is by waiting for about a min fiddling with mute and speaker function. I have noticed the phone audio works fine i.e. system tones and also music but its just you can hear anyone when making or receiving calls for some reason, but they can hear you?
I think its software related as I was running stock rom for about 3 weeks when I had my Diamond and nothing of this type was seen, only once i started upgrading???????/

Audio broken?

Hi,
As the title says, the audio of my Diamond (probably) is broken. All of a sudden it stopped working. Strange thing is, when it boots, it will play the startup tone. Sometimes the audio works for a few seconds (like in a call) and suddenly it stops again.
Thats why i dont know whether this is a hardware problem or not. Anyone knows what might be the issue?
Oh, and if i choose to bring the diamond back to the store, i need to flash it back to the original rom right?
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: When the problem first showed up I had GenY 5.2, now ive got GenY D2.1, problem's still there.

Is it the speakerphone and system sounds, or the earpiece that doesn't work? So you had a cooked/custom ROM; have you tried putting the original stock ROM?

Headset works well, but the speaker of the phone doesn't work. Both calls and music out of the speaker of the phone won't play. When i start the phone up, it will play the sound, but once booted, if i change the volume or get called, the audio stops after like 2 seconds. Very strange.
This problem seems to appear here in Holland more than anywhere else. Now going to change the radio, and probably change to stock rom indeed.

Changed radio a few times, since i read that probs would work. It didnt.
Also flashed to original 2.03 rom. Got 1 year warranty, but i have the phone 15 months now. No luck for me this time.
Also someone called, and the phone rang, the ringtone played. Unfortunately the sound disappeared once i answered the call.
Anyone got an idea?

Maybe there is some trouble with your Headphone input detection. Have you tried to use a headphone with it? Do you have sound then?

Thanks for the answer!
Yes, when i put my headphones in, i can hear the voice of the "caller" and i can hear music....but when i put the headphones out again, i cant hear him.
So i thought, perhaps my phone thinks that there are always my headphones plugged in.... but my music player plays sound through the speakers....strange?!
whats going on?! is there a different phone.apk i could try? but i flashed many FW and nothing solved the problem...
or does an app exist here i can test my external ear speaker?!

I vaguely remember a CM7 issue wherein you had to toggle mute to trigger the voice to work on calls. I'm sure your problem is different, since it's happening across multitple firmwares, but it's food for thought.
I would have also assumed your phone was thinking headphones were plugged in when they weren't. But if music plays through the rear speaker just fine, this must not be the case.
Whatever it is, good luck!

Does nobody know a method or a app with what i can test my "Earspeaker" ?

I have the same issue with my i9000M and have been unable to determine the cause. There must be a way to completely wipe the phone and restore a stock ROM in order to reset whatever setting controls handset speaker volume.

psss... noone is looking??? it is top secter Samsung's procedure, do not share:
1. factory wipe
2. flash stock firmware
3. factory wipe

I've got this exact issue.. proximity sensor is also broken and locks up the phone. I disabled it with a patch - but my earpiece is non-functional on stock.
Ideas? Hardware defect?
