No speakerphone and the phone doesn't ring

Hi,
I recently installed AOSP Gingerbread 20110120 on my HTC Hero and it was working well until I attempted to install Sprint Visual Voicemail. Speakerphone doesn't work and my phone doesn't ring when I receive calls (the volume setting are high). I installed the latest Gingerbread which I hoped would fix the problem but there were no changes. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Sounds like it may be a speaker problem. I'd try flashing another rom or nand back to your last to see if it works then. My girlfriend had the same problem and was the speaker. Sprint store fixed for 35 dollars on the spot, she was within the 1st year with the phone, not sure where you stand.

Thanks. I'll try that.

I had a similar problem and it was a hardware speaker problem (I thought the speaker had blown) I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but I was able to fix it by removing the battery cover and pressing down on the top part of the battery (just under the camera) in random places, I'd recommend having music or something attempt to play through the phone speakers so you know if/when it worked.
I have only had that problem once since (it's been about 4 months) and every time it happens I just repeat, hopefully that's all your problem is.

I actually took my phone to Sprint today. They said the speaker was bad. It's been replaced and is working now.
Previously I flashed the update of the ROM I had been using. I was unable to access my nand backup after using the ClockworkMod Recovery (unless I wasn't doing something right).
I'll definitely try your suggestion eqzgkxokwa if it happens again
Thank you both for your help

[Q] Headset buttons sometimes stop working

Hi everyone. I recently bought samsung galaxy mini 2 and i have a problem with the wired headset.
Specificaly, sometimes, the buttons just not work. I am aware of the screen off bug, and i'm not talking abut that. I mean, i plug my headphones in, and buttons work. Then maybe after a while they will stop working, with screen on, although i can listen to music. Sometimes, plugging them out and then in again fixes the problem, sometimes not. The thing is that i do not know if this is hardware or software problem...
Also i should mention that this happens with 2 different headsets, so it is not a headset problem.
Could anyone help? Android version is 2.3.6, the stock ROM, unrooted.

So there is noone having any similar problem? Please, someone!

I have warranty of course, but if it is software related i don't think that senting it back will make any difference.
That's why i'm asking here to see if there are other people with the same problem..

I finally figured out that it is a software related problem.. In case anyone has the same question in the future... Don't know what causes it or how to solve this, just that it is software related..

Fixed
Latest android update by samsung has fixed this problem..

latest !! what update ?

Sorry for misleading post. There was an update around February I think, mostly bug-fixes, still android 2.3.6. However I had changed to custom rom and I didn't test that update to see if the problem was fixed. Recently I flashed stock again and found out that it was fixed.
The update I'm talking about took place in February and is NOT android 4.1.2.

Headphone jack isn't working.

Hi all. Like the title says. My headphone jack won't work properly. If I plug in headphones the phone doesn't recognize them and media sound still comes from the speakers. But, if I power off and plug in the headphones and power on, the phone recognizes them and they work. If I unplug the headphones after that, then sound won't come through the speakers. Any help is appreciated.

This does not provide the needed information to help you at all. What rom are you on, are you on a custom kernel, and what mods have you flashed.

Im on renovate, no custom kernel. it's not the rom. I've flashed several different roms and the problem is persistent. The only mods I'm running is chocolate milk from xposed.

I would flash a stock rom with no mods and see if the problem persist. If it goes away then it is rom or mod related just back up your current rom in case you wish to go back

I'm having the same problem with my headphone jack and I'm stock and unrooted

1. Have you tried another headset?
2. Have you tried to move the headphone connector around?
3. Have you tried blowing in the headphone jack?
If you've tried all of these (possible) solutions, and if the problem persists, go to Sprint and tell them the problem.

Tried all three of those, still doesn't work. Flashed stock rooted Rom, still no dice. Would the firmware cause a problem like this? Just curious, does anybody know what Sprint would charge for this repair. I've got insurance but the deductible isn't worth it when I can just upgrade my phone in January.

I'd say that it's unlikely that the firmware's causing this. No idea what Sprint would charge for repairing; bought this device used in India.

[URGENT] Microphone Issue

So basically the story is and I know this has happened to quite a lot of people but one day the mic on my HTC One decided it would just suddenly have a very low input and now people can't hear me in calls unless I use my headphones with a built in mic or put the phone on speaker which they can hear me crystal clear and it's a loud volume but when in a phone call like normal without headphones or using speaker I've been told it sounds like as best as I can re describe what i was told in a text form it sounds like to the other person, "uuggh" "ugggh" "uggh" every time I am talking using it so I am hoping this is simply just an issue with firmware or something.
I am currently running paranoid android 4.6 beta 3 but I think from memory the issue occurred either after flashing a version of venom rom or after I flashed the unofficial multirom which I think is completely removed now.
All help and suggestions are highly appreciated but a suggestion of trying to access Diag mode or anything to do with that is un needed due to paranoid not including the htc self test mode in the rom.

I had the same problem..you have to change the microphone...it s not a software issue..it`s hardware

Damn that's annoying. I can't be bothered sending it back to HTC because people are reporting just getting phones back with the same issue or the purple camera issue so i'll just stick to using my headphones. Thanks for the reply though

not sure if my problem was the same but after flashing a bunch of different roms ...last one being insertcoin, I was getting complaints that people on the other end could not hear me. I would switch to speaker and everything was fine. switch back and they described me as sounding muffled ?
Long story short, I'm s-off so i just flashed back to Android 4.3
AT&T RUU and the microphone has worked fine since.

Now that's the kind of reply that I like to see. I'm currently at uni so I'll try flashing back to stock with an ruu when I get back home and see what happens and then update here but if that fixes it I will be extremely happy until I flash pack to 4.4 because I need me's some kitkat and it all starts again haha but to me if that works and solves it then the hboot update they did must have been the cause of the issue.

There must be something I can simply just flash to the phone while in s-off rather than having to flash a whole ruu because it has to be simply a low level firmware or driver issue where the noise cancellation is just not working properly

RUU Link
Hi. Do you happen to have a link to the RUU you used? Ive tried a few that I found on HTC1GURU and had a bunch of issues.
Thanks for any help!

The RUU you're supposed to use is specific to your device so if you use an RUU that isn't for your device then you need to change the CID and make sure you're s-off. The HTC1GURU download links have the CID's listed under the download as to what you need yo set your phone to

I've had this issue, and had mixed, albeit brief, successes with various methods. Tried everything, tape, gently clearing out the mic hole. It would work perfectly for a short period of time, even without me doing anything, but ultimately the mic would go back to being extremely static-y or not working. Ultimately had to send it in past the warranty and they claimed a logic board replacement was necessary ($200) and after some back and forth with me pointing out that this was my 3rd time sending in the phone due to hardware issues (bad autofocus, purple tint, etc.) they acquiesced and replaced it for free. It's a hardware issue and will get worse over time -- my advice is if making calls on your phone is important to you, bite the bullet and get it fixed.

Mic issues

Alright so basically I posted sometime last year that I was having issues where my mic won't work so when I make a phone call the other person can't hear me at all, unless I put the phone onto speaker phone then they can hear me fine. I've tried flashing new roms of different Android versions, custom and stock, I've also reflashed a couple of different hboot versions and also firmware just incase it may be linked to that but yet still no resolution. So recently I went ahead and bought a new mic, replaced the old one with this one and still, no one can hear me unless I'm on speaker phone. Can anyone at all suggest what the issue could be, I'm starting to suspect an issue with the main board because I've tried pretty much everything to fix it.
Thanks in advance
