Hi all,
Since i've updated to Kitkat 4.4.2, everytime i make a phone call, the speakerphone automatically turns on? I've restarted the phone, checked my settings etc but can't see anything that would auto switch it on?
Please help, rather annoying
Thanks,
Same here. Please help before this phone has an untimely death.
Also here.
Anyone tried resetting phone? I remember I had some issues past time I updated and was told to reset it and then the issues were sorted.
When you say reset do you mean restart? I have restarted my phone and completely powered it off and back on with no luck.

I mean factory reset, the person on the phone last time told me that something might not have installed properly when I updated.
I will give it a try today.
Same, will do it when I get home, see if that works.

It worked! Thanks. It's a pita though because now I need to reset all my stuff back to my customized preference.

Have also had this issue, tried wiping/restarting and a whole host of things, nothing has worked. Also having a similar issue where my phone keep activating my cars bluetooth for no obvious reason, which may be related.
Today I have made a factory reset and after them I have installed my Rom again and the turning on off the speaker it's gone for me now. I hope it will gone also in the future.

Fix for Random ON Speakerphone
I think I've found a solution to this problem.
After getting repeatedly (and what seemed to be randomly) assaulted by my speakerphone I noticed something when quickly glancing at the screen when the issue occurred. It seemed to be happening when my phone discovered wi-fi, via Network Notification. I went into Settings, Wi-Fi Advanced Settings, and unchecked "Network notification" and "scanning always available". I have not had the speakerphone problem since.

ok so i got my htc one a couple of days ago and it sees to have a serious problem!
Basically the phone goes through stages of random vibrating every few mins to full on constant vibrating like there is a fan or motor buzzing in there. It even does it if the phone is switched off! Ive just had an episode of it vibrating no stop for 10 mins, didnt make a difference when i switched it off or when i factory reset it!
It seems to overheat or something and only stopped doing it after i had just left it for a while. I have tried to speak with htc about it but they were useless and had no suggestions what soever.
I really need some help here, i bought the phone privately and to all intense purposes it seemed like brand new

SO you CAN NOT exchange the phone?
if not... root your phone and flash different rom that should resolve problem...at least give it a try!

No cant exchange it, only option i might have if i cant get the problem ressolved on here would be to send it to htc for repair but can take up to 2 weeks.
when i got the phone it was still on 4.1 and told me update available to 4.2 so i did that. Thats all i have done , apart from unlocking it from 02 using a code.
its almost like on a computer when its being worked hard etc that you here the fan cut in, thats what it seems like except it sounds like the buzz you get when you first start the phone. sometimes it does this just once every few mins or so, other times it will start doing it and not stop...even when switched off.....everything else on the phone seems to work fine

Did the device get wet at some point? Sounds like a hardware problem if a factory reset didn't solve the problem.
There's a slight chance it could be a real bad app or an issue with the rom. Maybe running a stock RUU for your device if you can find it might help.
Pretty sure it hasent got wet .
Would be happy to put stock Rom back on it but not sure how I go about reflashing it .
Don't know if this normal or not but when I did a factory reset I thought the device would be wiped completely, all my pictures and videos etc however when I set it back up again I found some videos on there still that I had downloaded to the phone off the net.
Maybe it's not wiping itself correctly either?

Resetting the device should wipe everything and bring it to the same condition as new.
Go to settings>>Backup & Reset>>Reset phone>>now check "Erase all data", then tap "OK".
If that doesn't work, try to do a factory reset from the bootloader.

Factory reset will wipe the device but leave the contents of the sdcard untouched which explains why your vids are still there
Appreciate the help guys, thankyou
So, is there any benifit to wiping the device completely over and above what I've done allready?
Today the phone has just done the odd sudden vibration as if you were just booting up, around 5 times in total, nowhere near as bad as last night, don't know why that would be.
Would it be possible to reflash standard firmware?
Is so how would I do it. Phone is completley standard and was in 4.1 prior to the ota update to 4.2, could 4.2 be the problem?

Yes, I see there is a box to tick to wipe everything.
Think it's worth doing?

I'd try it. You can back up your pics and music on your PC via HTC Sync first.
Ok so I have tried it but no joy
Still getting the random buzzing/vibration for no apparent reason.
Could it be a bug with the update to 4.2.2?
Can I go back to 4.1?
I'm at my witts end with this now

Don't think it's a bug with 4.2.2 but a hardware issue.
Couple of other things to try ; download "CID Getter" from the play store, run it and find out your device's CID number. Now search on Google or xda for the RUU for your device's CID number. Download the RUU.exe to your pc, connect your phone to the pc and run the RUU.exe. This will bring the phone back to stock 4.1..
Or you can unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Step by step instructions can be found on xda
Sorry, don't know of any easy solutions.

i think to start with ill try downloading standard htc 4.1 rom when i can figure out which one it is and how i put it on and then go from there.
ok so just to update this....
last night i have tried the standard google edition rom on my phone and for the first few hours all seemed fine untill 4am this morning when i was woked by the phone doing its random vibrating thing...it was just sat by the side of my bed on charge

You tried everything so it's has to be a hardware issue. Maybe the vibration starts when the device gets warm. Sorry we couldn't fix it.

My HTC one has been doing the same thing. Vibrating randomly even when powered down. Brought it back to Sprint and had them order me a new phone. The only way to stop it from vibrating when powered down was to bang it on a hard surface, then it would stop. Crazy!
Vibrating non stop
My HTC One had been vibrating cotinuously too. I kept slapping the upper part of the phone to stop it from vibrating. However, this worked for the initial few days only. Later, it continued to vibrate continuously without stopping at all ! In the night I left the phone in the other room while it was still vibrating and the next morning the phone wouldn't charge at all! Now the phone is not booting/ charging. It is dead! Any leads?
EDIT: I slapped the upper part again, it suddenly woke up from the dead! It is charging now, the LED is red too!! But it is still continuously vibrating. I have left it to charge as of now, but please help with this vibrating problem. Any ideas?
I've had the same issue with my M7 today.
There were no software updates or any new apps lately.
It all emerged when i was pressing the home button (to exit from some app) and at the same time an incomming call started.
I have tried:
switching it off - did not help
Changing volume setting silent\vibe\sound a couple of times - no effect
Soft reset - no help
Hard reset - no help
Slapping with upper side of the phone against my had - helped for some time, the it started again
Seems like hardware issue.
Currently working solution for me:
Switch off the option "Vibrate on keypress" in Settings ==> Sound & notification
UPD: had to turn off all the vibrations
So far so good. Apparently there is some issue with vibe motor, and it just does not stop. I assume that by disabling that option it is not getting started and thus no constant vibe follows.
UPD 2 Fixed:
Issue reoccurred on hitting the device against my palm.
Had to disassemble it, there are a couple of instructions on youtube, i used plastic cards.
Motor was spinning even with a switched off device. Had to unplug and plug the motor a couple of times and it helped.
Turned on all vibrations in settings, no issues so far.
Hope that helps.
I just got my z1 and it's having trouble holding a Wifi signal for any period of time unless it's right next to my router. Even if I close the door I lose my signal. I'm running 4.3 and was wondering if there's any way I can check to see if I have faulty hardware?
Thanks

Yeah, I posted in another thread about I saw about the issues, and its at the point where wifiis not working at all. No networks in the area are show, and if they are, then only for a split second. Not sure why seeing as how I am on stock 4.3 no root. I decided to do a factory reset in the middle of writing this message. Everything is working fine now, so far.
Ok so, if I do a factory reset it should all be ok? I have a question, I just got this phone set up the way I like it, wallpaper, apps, folders, widgets, etc. I dont wanna have to do all that **** again so is there any way I can do a factory reset and back my phone up so that when I restore it comes out exactly how I left it?
So you can do backup several ways including the built in backup app, which I originally used. The problem is when I restored the backup, I started experiencing the same issues as before. I just did another reset and things are working normal for now.
I've updated each of the Sony apps with a restart and wifi switch off between each app to make sure it wasn't any of them. So far so good, so believe it was something in my settings back up. Clueless as to what though.

I searched but did not find anything related to my issue. I have an AT&T Note 3 that is rooted. I recently received the small update that supposedly is getting us ready for Kit Kat. Yesterday, I tried to turn on wi-fi and it will not turn on. I have tried a number of things, including a soft reset, turning air plane mode on and off and taking the battery out, before I resign myself to a hard reset. Nothing has worked. I'm not sure when this started as I don't use wifi much.
I haven't installed anything recently, so it is not a software conflict. I do have exposed installed, but I haven't even used it for anything yet.
Does anyone have any thoughts other than a hard reset, or has this happened to anyone else?
I've been having wifi issues after the recent NB4 update as well. It failed to connect due to a unstable signal. A hard reset was the only fix. Luckily it's been behaving for the past few days.

I've been looking and haven't seen anything about wifi just not even turning on. Will likely have to do a hard reset. Oh well. Thanks for the reply.
Mine was just fine on NB4, but I did get the update pushed as soon as I turned my phone on for the first time.

My phone has been randomly rebooting about once every two days. I'm completely stock, not rooted. In the middle of the night last night while it was plugged in it rebooted about 4 times in a row, so I shut it off then restarted it in the morning. It's been doing fine so far today. I can't figure out how to reliably reproduce the reboots so I don't know how to go about testing whatever is causing it. It doesn't seem to be caused by any actions I perform (it's happened while I'm using the phone as well as while it's completely idle) Any suggestions? I know there's not much useful info to go off of here...
I keep sending the crash reports to HTC but I don't know what to look for in them. Anybody know how to interpret the crash logs?
Had one this morning. Rooted, but no changes.
And it just happened again. Phone was just sitting there with the screen off... I tried to copy and paste the error log but it wouldn't let me select all the text. The only app I have running in the background usually is Twilight. I'm going to try uninstalling that and seeing if it helps. The problem is the reboots happen randomly so I can't really tell if anything I change actually has an effect! Yarggghhh.
EDIT: Managed to get the error log here: http://pastebin.com/Xynv9qMP
Tried rebooting into Safe Mode, then a factory reset. Neither worked so I exchanged the device at a Sprint store. Hope this one works better!

Hei guys !
I have a htc one with unlocked bootloader and s-off.
Yesterday my phone started to experience some trouble with the wi-fi connections. When i turn on the wi-fi it remains stuck on "turning on" and i can't turn it off anymore. I tried to more options by clicking on the 3 dots in the right corner but no succes..all options but "Advanced" are greyed out.
I already tried to flash a custom rom (Viper rom) and reflashed stock ruu and the problem persisted.
Any of you experienced similar problems?
I had that problem on another type of phone. It was hardware. You've already factory reset and changed the OS. The only other thing I can think of is to pull the battery (and you probably don't want to do this yourself). Good luck. I would send the phone in for warranty repair, if you can.
Unfortunately i can't rma the handset for repair because it was bought second hand.
I thought maybe it was another way to resolve this issue.. I found it odd because while i was using the device over the wifi connection it just disconnected and would not connect back on. No other glitch , fireworks or nothing..
Same problem here,
it suddenly stopt working.
it trying to connect and stays there.
reboot is fixing it for a few minutes and problem is there
again.
i have the problem on multiple networks.
new firmware flashing didnt help,
new OS didnt help,
new Recovery didnt help...
I have the same exact problem.
It did turn on randomly one night after restoring a back up. Stayed on all night, gone in the morning.

I bought a brand new second One M7 and flashed a backup from the "old" one. WiFi is working.
Running ARHD with experimental 14.11 I did a factory reset within TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery on the "old" One and until now WiFi is already working for a day.
I thought it was hardware related but why is the "old" One working again....
And why is the new One has working WiFi with the exact same copy of OS....
Strange
Edit,
The "old" One WiFi stopt working.
Suddenly it was gone.
Going back to stock with that one and sent it in for repair.

Ok. So I can't tell u guys what the problem was.
Hola, I seem to have a similar issue to the OP. After flashing a 5.1 GPE ROM, wifi never worked again.
I tried different ROMs, different TWRP, different firmwares, and even reformated partitions using mkfs.ext4. Wifi still stuck at "Turning on..."
Do you guys have any ideas? Thank youuuu!
Try going to the root folders and delete the wifi folder from data/misc then restart the phone. Might work.
After running the command below on Maximus HD 46, I was able to turn on WiFi, but the connection would be unstable, with the adapter often turning off and on.
Code:
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Hello. I have created an account here just to share how I fixed this problem because I couldn't find that solution posted on any forum. It might be helpful for someone, but also I might have been the one that caused the issue in the first place. I have a rooted HTC One M7 running 5.0.2.
So, the "Turning on..." for me occured once my phone's battery completely drained. I have plugged the phone in the charger and it displayed 0%. Once the charge level reached 1% I turned on the phone and almost immediatelly turned mobile data off and wifi on. It was then when it got stuck. I have tried almost all the accepted solutions and none of them worked. As I didn't have time to keep trying to solve the issue I left the phone as it was, not trying to connect anymore but saying "Error" under Wifi in Settings.
I thought about what might have caused this and remembered that I have recently tried to use my phone as a wifi extender using the app called "fqrouter2". Within the app there is an option in configuration "Disable Wifi P2P" that should be, as recommended by the app, disabled if the app failed to work. I have, of course, tried it but it didn't work anyway. I have uninstalled the app and that was it. Wifi worked fine until my phone died. So I decided to reinstall the app and try the "Restore Wifi P2P" option. After restoring it I uninstalled the app and power cycled my phone. When it turned on wifi started working again as if nothing ever happened.
As I said, I might have been the cause of the problem in the first place and I doubt somebody had the exact same situation as mine, but I'll leave this here, just in case. Cheers
