Speaker Problem

Last week I updated my x1 to WinMo 6.5. Okay, so no problems, nothing really as a big deal. And then just last night my speaker/mic stopped working almost all together.
People can hear me, very faintly, if I yell at the top of my lungs.
Now I doubt it's 6.5 doing this, but just letting everyone know that it's there.
Any solutions? It's not call volume or anything like that, I've turned every volume knob up to the max and still no good.

Reflashing back to WM 6.1 is free and will help confirm whether it is a hardware or software problem.

Yeah, I guess I'll probably try that, it's sort of what I was thinking too.

Before reflashing, try a hard reset. (since you're going to lose data anyway from the reflash)
It might be a 3rd party app that's causing the problem.

Now, I just started getting into this whole "scene" here if you will . So how exactly do I hard reset?
And could anybody give a link to a page to downgrade?

Easiest way is 'Start > Settings > System' then 'Clear Storage' it'll be like it was whne you pulled it out of the box. You'll lose your contacts, messages, apps anything else you've done it it since 1st turning it on.
Back-up what you want to keep 1st.

Oops, I'm wrong, you installed 6.5 on it. Sorry.

So, I downgraded it back. Speaker still does not work, and now the screen goes blank when I slide it up. Any thoughts?

I had the problem that when I slide screen up the screen goes off. I sent back to sony and the replacement they sent is also broken! Now no one can her me when i talk. I tried to record a soundclip and its just fuzz.

my phone is randomly adding periods to everything

even the home screen, i leave it there and it opens the quicksearch and just starts adding "..............................'s" it does it in messages as well, but while im typing itll also switch to the alternate keyboard so my texts end up looking like "hi i a| b{$%#@" ive tried doing a factory data reset and reinstalled the 1.6 dev phone image and cm 4.7.2.1
im thinking its a hardware issue, anyone have any ideas?
also, whats the easiest way to revert it back to stock software so i can send it back to tmobile if they send me a new phone?
TIA,

Probably a stuck "." button on your keyboard. Probably just needs to be taken apart and cleaned. You might have luck just by pushing it a bunch of times and shooting it with compressed air.
If you must send it back, just write the stock system image to it. If it's tmobile branded, then you'll be looking for the "RC29 NBH" file.

The space bar also is common for sticking... it pressed twice = a period.

thanks guys, im not sure if im ready to take the phone apart as im still in warranty, but i got tmobile to send me a new one, im unrooting the old one and sending it back.
thanks again guys, if i have this issue again, ill make sure i keep ur suggestions in mind

You don't need to take it apart to blast it with compressed air...

or just try running your thumb against the bottom row of your keyboard, hopefully unsticking whichever key is causing the issue.

Well, someone is going to be getting a great "refurb."

Serious nexus one problem!!! Help!

Had the phone for few days and a problem when i clicked for example the "MESSANGING" on my home screen it lead to aim screen to i click back it went to another app then i lcicked home i went home and clicked messanging again and it went to another screen of a app why isnt it go to messagning? it works now but it did that twice!!!! it froze everytime i tryed to quickly share a photo via facebook it froze one time there.well a new problem happened..... i locked it the nwhen i lciked the power to unlock no puzzle unlock wasnt there it was just my backround.. then i keep lockign and unlockign no puzzle i shut the phone off and restated?

Your best bet is to wipe your phone and flash a fresh rom onto it. What rom are you using?

its regular updated 2.2 nexus build number FRF91 idk anything else? its not rooted

Oh ok so purely stock.
1. Backup all your contacts:
*Open Contacts app
*Press menu softkey, select Import/Export
*Export your contacts to sd card
2. Go to settings -> privacy -> factory data reset [THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE]
Your phone should restart, and you should be good to go.

thanks bro... why u think its glitching liek that because maybe all the apps i got like 20 from market and task killer? or what can it be? by the way i factory restored it once not because of this problem but jsut to clear all apps quickly... so i just did it lets see how it goes from now....

No problem, I'm here to help.
I remember reading recently that task killers from the market actually may do more harm than good. I don't exactly remember why, but that may be your problem...
P.S. I always thought task killers required root...I guess you learn something new every day

hahaha true true.. so these problem u heard about before or first time?

I've never heard of your specific issue but anything is possible

gotcha so right now i download most apps such as aim,calorie counter, magic marker, pandora, yahoo mail, drink recipe, shazam, shopsavvy, WHERE thats about it.. no task killers no battery displayers no nothing.... hopefully this problem wont occur....

Good. Just send me a PM if you run into the issue again

gotcha.. thanks anyone got any ideas why it would occur..... apps? virus?

Were you using a program to customize the icon? Like Folder Organizer?

nope.. but i did have astro zipper program i had lock up 2.0 i had werid thigns just got a habit of downloading i enedup delting lots but problem occured i just did a factory reset so far no problem.....

From what you're explaining, its seems you're experiencing the touchscreen issue. Most if not all of the N1's have this problem. It's a known defect that HTC chooses not to admit too. As of now there's only a temp fix which is to press the power button on & off. Its a problem that randomly occurs. There's nothing that'll specifically trigger the problem, it just happens when it happens. Flashing to a custom rom will not solve your problem becuz its hardware related. If you haven't voided your warranty in any way, your best bet is too warranty exchange/repair your device until its fixed.

ya im going to call warrernty now and see what the deal is!

[Q] Screen orientation not changing?

Hi,
I got a Captivate in the mail yesterday. It seemed to be working fine.
I installed LauncherPro and screen rotation was working fine.
Unfortunately it's not rotating the screen. I went to the settings to verify that screen rotation was enabled, and it was.
I can't get rotation anywhere. LaunchedPro Home screen, text messages app, email app, gmail, browser. None of them work.
Is this a known issue? Could a factory reset resolve this? Maybe flashing another ROM? Also, is there any app that can test the accelerometer?
regards,
del

Have you removed LauncherPro to see if that is the issue? I would do that prior to doing a reset of your phone.

Yeah. I also flashed a stock Samsung ROM from this thread:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
No go. I also tried a Bubble Level app from the Market. It is not moving (not getting anything form the accelerometer).
Guess I'm gonna have to contact Samsung, because I got it from ebay.

Yep looks like the accelerometer is dead
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors

Oh lucky me.
Called Samsung, had to explain the problem around 4 times to the rep. After a number of restarts, enabling/disabling screen orientation on the menu, and even a user data clear, she agreed that there was a problem.
So, she starts making arrangements for me to send in the phone and, all of a sudden, says: "I'm really sorry, we can't honor the warranty because you bought it off of ebay."
Sounds like I bought a Lemon.... tried contacting the seller via email to see if the phone is still in the 30 day AT&T warranty and she seems to be ignoring me. (Maybe she knew beforehand and that's why she sold it?).
I think I'm going to open a case in Paypal.

i don't know if this was resolved but you can access a test mode by going into *#0*# into the phone then there is a sensor selection select that and then there is an image test that test rotation i messed with that and got it working. but im now on a custom rom and it doesnt work anymore.

[Q] Anyone get Messenger by Miyowa working?

Hi,
Everything is working great on the new WP7 rom with the exception of the Messenger app by Miyowa.
It starts about 50% of the time.
When I do get the login screen, and sign in, it shows the loading line, and as soon as its full it switches back to the application list.
I have uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled many times, but cant seem to get it to work.
I know it does have lots of problems and issues (going by the reviews), but does anyone have it working on the HD2?
Thanks
Chris

Just recently I was trying to install but I get the error that Zune is not open and the phone is not unlocked.

it works.... but as you said its very unstable... havent tryed to have a normal conversation on it yet....

the login screen and the screen after login look kinda similar (was also confused the first time)
try it again, and after logging in swype to the left (to reveal the page on the right which is the contact list)
chevron unlocked my phone yesterday and had used this messenger about three times since..

Yeah, it wont log in. I don't get any screen after the spinning dude finishes, just jumps back to app list.
But it sounds like it works on your hd2.
