I have a Lumia 920 (unlocked) which I flashed the dev 8.1
The problem started on the second update to WP8.1. Mic does not work, so people can't hear me talk and voice contorl/ Cortana does not 'hear' me. Also, there is zero sound output via either the speaker, headset jack or bluetooth. It's truly deaf and dumb.
I have downloaded and installed the Nokia Software Updater for Retail. It automatically detected and seems to have correctly installed the correct ROM (RM-820), which is ATT, since I see all the ATT bloatware. Yet the problem persists.
This is my work phone and I urgently need it.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Ah yes, my old iPhone used to do this from time to time!. I recommend getting a really bright light and inspecting instead the headphone jack. Most likely, there is lint or some other debris in there. Clean it out, and you should be good to go! (I recommend a toothpick or other non-metal object, although I have used paper clips before with the phone off)
good luck!

Upgraded to 3.2AKU. Didnt like it, downgraded to 2.17. When I try to call people, or get called my phone/the other party recieves the call, and when I answer it the phone says CONNECTED, but I hear nothing over the earpiece, and no voice is transmitted (the other party said they couldnt hear a thing).
I tried a 2.5mm headset. Nothing recieved or transmitted voice wise.
Data over EDGE works 100%.
SMS works.
Then I tried a motorola HS815 bluetooth headset. IT WORKS. I can hear the other party, and they can hear me.
*
The earpiece speaker isnt busted, I can hear the beeps come out from it when you adjust the call volume (it comes from the earpiece, im sure, not from the speakers on the sides of the phone).
I tried 2.24
Tried a different varient of 2.17.
Tried to go back to 3.2
Nothing works. I'm downgrading back to 2.17, then to a 1.xx ROM to see if that works.
What the heck could be the problem? Could it really be hardware? I've never dropped it, and its never shown any problems in the three months i've had it. Could it be the 3.2rom that I installed, then downgraded back to 2.17?
As an avid computer, and 8125 user, this is really puzzling me Oo.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
hello again everyone!!!
i just got a set of blueant x5i stereo bluetooth headphones yesterday... they look cool and feel cool... call quality is great...
but the mp3 sound through my tmobile wing is HORRIBLE!!! i tried the headphones on my co-worker's t-mobile dash and they sound awesome... i can't figure out why they sound so muddy and crackly on my phone... is there a setting somewhere that i am missing??? perhaps a firmware upgrade for my phone that would solve this issue???
any help or insight would be greatly appreciated...
thanks in advance,
bennie
How does playback sound through the included (if any headset) or through the loud speaker? If it sounds good (normal) through those then its most likely a blue tooth problem. When you sync it up are you around anything that could possibly interfere with it during the sync process? There have been a few times when I am making a call (rare) but it wont get a good connection and everything will sound like I am under water or worse. (more with my old phone having a crappy radio)
If you have sync'd the two a fair ammount of times and its always the same sounding quality might look on the T-Moble Wings forum (this is the HTC s730) and see if other users have had the same problem. I wouldnt see it having a bad HTC driver, but it might not be very compatable with that headset?
its hard to judge sound the the loud speaker... it sounds bad no matter what...
when hard wired through the headphones that came with the unit, the mp3 playback is fine... its not crackly like this headset is... i tried resyncing a few times as far away from everything as i could so there would be no interference... i never sync my music files though bluetooth so i know that the files aren't getting corrupted... they are going through usb...
i think it has something to do with the phone...
Double check the compatability on the headset, if it plays fine through the USB headphones, and the headset sounds perfectly fine on another phone...
What version is the heatset? blue tooth 2 or whatever the newer version is? I know the phone supports it but something else might have changed? Just something to look into.
Aside from a firmware flash or some software bug I cant think of anything else If the compatability show's up that it should work might try calling HTC's support line?
i contacted blueant before purchase and they assured me the headset is compatible... also tmobile claims that its compatible as well... they even have tmobile packaed oem boxes for this particular headset... the hardware protocols also line up... technically, everything should work!!!
i already contacted htc with regards to this issue... this was their reply:
Thank you for your inquiry in regards to Bluetooth headset stereo issue.
Ben, I know how important it is for you to have the bluetooth headset working properly, Unfortunately there is no updates or patch available for the T-mobile wing to fix the issue, although T-mobile might have a ROM upgrade. The reason why the T-mobile dash had no issues with the headset is because it has different drivers for bluetooth support. Look into possibly upgrading the device rom to try and resolve the issue, otherwise you'll need to purchase another headset which is compatible with the device.
i looked into updating the rom and it appears that i have the newest version: 4.10.531.3 WWE from march 15th 07... i wasnt' able to find anything newer... does someone else know of a newer version for the hera110???
Hmm, might be something in T-Mobiles software that is nerfing your set... Not sure of what though...
Hello guys.
I have a Plantronics Voyager 815 mono headset, which is supposed to be a rather good one. The reception quality is great, however people on the other end either don't hear me very well, or they're telling me it's as if I would talk from inside a barrel.
I usually hold the phone in my hand, so it's barely a meter or so away from the headset. When I just use the phone (no bluetooth), the sound is crystal clear both for me and the other side.
I was wondering what your experience might be with bluetooth headsets and if you could perhaps recommend one that would also have a good outgoing sound.
Thank you.
Hi pedmond, I use a motorola S9 mainly for music, no one ever phones me unless I'm at work or my Mum, But I love it, the sound and reception are great. I did have a problem where the sound kept dropping out for a few seconds then coming back but it seems sorted since my latest flash (Dutty's 1.6 awesome). On the S9 the mic is built into the tiny in-earphone in a single unit, background noise is minimal. One thing I did was play with the settings in Schaps adv. config. until I was totally happy, I know you must have done this, and searched everywhere and also posted in accessories too! Maybe you have fluff in the mic!
Thank you for the input, uniqueboy.
I played indeed with Schaps settings, but unless I'm mistaken they are for stereo headsets - mine is mono. Your S9 would be too big for that.
I'm mainly using it at work for business conversations; I also need it to be small enough to keep in my pocket.
The headset I have has an extending boom, which makes the microphone hole pretty much self cleaning, so I would guess there is no fluff (at least I can't see none).
It's a bit annoying I can't use my set in optimal conditions. I'm willing to buy a new one, I just don't want to get into a trial and error loop - this can get expensive pretty fast.
I also don't trust a lot what I read on the net - this headset comes highly recommended, but I find this not to be true.
I would thus rather learn from other people's experience.

hi bro,
I am using Jabra 5010 mono headset as well as I-Tech Blueband Pro stereo headset. Both, i do not have any problem with bluetooth and sound/voice quality.
not to jump into conclusion that your set might be faulty ... Have you done any tweaks to increase/decrease volume? if so, try to reset to default. or try another rom, if using a official rom or cook rom gives the same issue, then most likely it will be your headset thats causing the issue.

OK, this may be a silly question: can I increase the OUTGOING volume on a bluetooth headset? (mono)
Just to mark this problem solved: turned out my headset was defective. I've had it replaced today and finally everybody can hear me just fine
Thank you for your help.
Hello all,
I would like to pose an observation to who ever the developers are for the 2.2 Froyo version for the Samsung Captivate (actual issue in bold/question italicized to skip the history). *A bit of history of what I have done with my phone* I have only had my phone for about a week now and when I got it it was 2.1. The phone worked flawlessly but I am a geek and I like to hack things to unleash it's full capacity.
Anyways, I updated using the AT&T updated way to 2.1v1 then Rooted my phone. WOW, what an improvement!!! Well I couldn't stop there when 2.2 was one click way using Odin 3 v1.30. This worked perfectly and BOOM, I now have v.2.2 on my phone. Flash works great, wireless tether works perfectly and all the other bells and whistles were all clicking together.
Before I updated to 2.2 (which for the Captivate is "unofficial"), I was able to plug my phone in using the Audio Aux port (for head phones) directly into my car stereo and use that as a sort of "Speaker Phone" while I was driving. The sound would come out of the car speakers clear and I could talk at a normal tone of voice while my phone was on the dash and the person on the other end couldn't even tell. After I updated to 2.2, the sound quality is at a whisper at full volume for the stereo. This only happens during a phone call, if I listen to Pandora or TuneIn, the sound is crystal clear.
I know that this is not the end of the world but it is extremely nice to use this when the phone is mounted and I am using one of the many great "driving apps" that are available for the Droid. The phone call is in the background and I see the Nav Maps or see speed traps using Trapster while I talk to my wife (I love this processor!!!).
I have also rooted my phone and that did not solve the issue. That was a long shot but it needed to be done.
OK, now here is the question, does anybody know how to fix this?
I am running 2.2 and use my phone's aux audio out for music but BT for phone. I will try and replicate your issue today. I am no dev but I'll see if it is an isolated incident or not.
Until then, a few questions to clarify:
1. have you tried testing the phone audio out with another device such as headset or home receiver?
2. What type of cable/adapters are you using? (3.5mm male to 3.5mm male)
3. Did you perform a master clear before going to 2.2
I'm having the same issue and will try to troubleshoot it so you know where to look. Plugging into my stereo is just like plugging into regular speakers/headphones. Going to revert my phone back to stock, do all stock update and then add this to it with the logging on. Probably won't have all the detail till this weekend.

Shovelhead84- 1) Yes, I have tried to see if the works with my computer speakers and the same issue is still occuring 2) it is a male to male cable (don't know the size but sounds like 3.5mm is the default so lets go with that) 3) No I did not do master clear before updating to 2.2 Froyo. I read that it wipes everything clean during the proccess so didn't really think that I should be now, of course, I could see why a master clean would be needed. I should have known. Oh well, you live and you learn and you share your knoledge.
makton3g- Thank you for your help. It sounds like you are going to put some realy leg work into this issue. Thanks. When you say "with logging on", is that something in SDK? I havn't began that journey yet, the SDK. so I have no idea what options are avalible...
I have this problem as well. Is there a solution?
I tried to do a search and even on google I couldn't quite find anyone with the same issue.
I've got a HTC Hero I've had for about 6 months. Rooted and running aosp's aospCMod. Love the phone and love the ROM.
Anyway, my issue is that I was on my way to the gym with my son and couldn't find my headphones. We had to stop at the store anyway so I bought a crappy pair of $3 headphones.
I plugged them in and the music was blaring and sounded like crap. I figured it HAD to be the crappy headphones, right?
Not so quick. I plug my phone into my car stereo on the way home and it sounds like a blown speaker. Checked again at home with a set of speakers I've got in my garage for my phone and it still sounds like crap (hissing, crackling noises, just like a blown speaker).
So, has anyone heard of this happening to them? If you can't tell, I use my phone for a music player a LOT. By the way, the normal phone speakers sound OK. Not as loud as they used to be but that just might be my imagination, not sure yet.
I've rebooted, etc, nothing seems to work. Please let me know if anyone knows anything.
Thanks,
Eric
I had the same issue. Once i noticed the degraded audio quality, it noticably got worse every day. Its a fairly common issue with the hero. I used the RUU and confirmed that it was likely a hardware issue since the stock rom did not fix it. Sprint had the part in stock and replaced it within 15 minutes for free.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
Thanks
I was hoping that wasn't the case, but it is what it is.
I'm just worried that since I got it at Radio Shack (Sprint) that Radio Shack is going to tell me to call Sprint and Sprint is going to tell me to go back to Radio Shack or send it directly to HTC, etc.
I just know from talking to the kid(s) at Radio Shack they they have NO technical abilities whatsoever.
Anyway, thanks for the quick response. Guess it's time to RUU.
I'd just call sprint. The last time I had an issue with a phone (my wifes intercept) they setup an appointment at an authorized repair center for us. The people we went to were pretty knowledgeable and got the phone fixed. Oh and I actually bought her intercept from a Radio Shack.
