Please explain what you mean by "until you restored the information"?
HTH
The information was restored from the last back up i made to active sync, however i have tried a hard reset to no avail (even before i restore the main phone speaker remains inactive when the headset is plugged in) and also tried to reinstall the rom upgrade again also to no avail

Hi there, I newly joined the family of Athena this week.
After reading extensively about rom flashing ( I am an universal users for 3 yrs and have quite good experience with flashing rom), i decided to try my luck with my new Athena and upgraded it to WM6. Here I go.
Everything went as smooth as ever, nothing wrong. I have used it for a few days and enjoyed my new toys.
Yesterday, suddenly, I have lost all my system sound. I can't play video with sound, no more system beeps, no more speaker phone. But, the ringer is STILL there. When people calls me, I can still get the phone but I can't talk thru the speaker phone but i can do it thru handfree whatsoever.
I have tried to play a MP3 on the Athena. The media player prompted me that there is a "the specified module could not be found".
Please help me out here.... I would love to have my perfect athena back . Thanks alot.
have your tried doing a hard reset after the actual upgrade? and have you tried doing a hard reset now?
something like this happened to me when i still had the original rom installed. no sounds but whenever plugging in the headset i could take calls. all sounds were streamed to my bt headset whenever it was bonded. several hard resets did not solve the problem.
the solution was for me to upgrade to the then newly released ak3 rom. that's solved the problem but to this day i have yet to find what caused the problem. for you, you might try doing a hard reset. if that doesn't work, you may want to consider reflashing the rom you originally loaded.
hope that helps
Even after I have flashed the official WM6 rom, the problem still persists. Anybody out there can help me to get out of this unfortunate incident?
Thanks truly truly truly lots.
At last, after reading more articles on flasing and different roms, I fond that Radio Rom is in control of all those wireless "components" of my U1000. As I thought all the system sound have been incorrectly re-routed to the bluetooth (I dunno why but just a guess wild enough). I decided to take a adacious move, FLASH a NEW RADIO ROM!
I flashed Radio 1.8 into my U1000 and BANG!!! all sounds come back and everything is back to how good they used to be !!! HURRAH!!!
Thanks for everybody who has tried to help and hope this is a method to solve somebody's problem. Thanks again
hi all,
it's easy to solve, it is a hardware issue. same happened to me: the speaker jack gets so dirt that the athena thinks it has something plugged. that's why you only hear the incoming calls, because if you plug a headphone it still keeps theincoming calls ring.
you just have to clean it very carefully with a small wooden stick and blow into it to take the dirt out. be extremely careful!
I have tried that before. but to no avail. I am not quite sure if it is a HW problem or a SW one. AFter flashing it with Radio Rom 1.8.. it works perfectly but at the end I dunno why that symptom starts again.
Is it possible that my Radio Rom is somewhat corrupted and volatile that it reverts to its "corrupted" state?
Still in need of help.. thanks
believe me, its a problem of dirty jack.... look into it ensuring you have light enough to see what's inside it...
Thanks Dan. It's a hardware problem at the end I confirmed.
I tried to clean it with Alcohol Pal but the problem persists. So I send it to my serviceman to repair it.
hi
this issue has somtimes nothing to do with drit in the jack. its a desing problem of the used headphone jack in the device. somtimes when you remove the plug one of the tiny contacts dosent swing back to it's normal position, so the device still thinks u are using the headphones. these kind of problems also happend on other htc devices like the universal. on my athena (and universal) the solution is to plug and remove the headphonejack serval times, this will normaly fix the problem.
greets mad
Take a sewing pin

He is right. Just take a sewing pin and try to press contact pins to its normal position. I solved same problem in this fashion. I hope this will help you.

Hi all,
I am having the weirdest problem here and need some advice. Tried the search function but came up empty, although it seems by googling that other people have faced it. Problem is that none of the following helped.
Out of the blue my phone thinks that the handsfree jack is used at all times.
So, when i actually use the handsfree all is ok.
When i unplug it i still get the headphones icon on the notification bar and every sound except ringtones is routed to the headphones jack so i have no sound at all.
Tried:
Flashed stock rom, other developers roms, and every piece of kernel i could get my hands on. Of course in the process i did the proper wipes from the cwm menu.
Factory reset.
Sound test through the *#*#0673# menu.
Plugged - unplugged the headphones like 100 times.
Cleaned the headphones hole with cotton bud.
Applied force to the walls of the headphones hole with the jack plugged in.
Took it to a tech friend of mine who took the whole thing apart and tested almost every piece of hardware to his personal handset..everything works as it should.
For now the plan is to keep pluging unplugging the handsfree till it works. I will do that because one time it actually played music from the speaker for a couple of seconds... Unfortunately it then started using the headphones again.
I could really use some help here from the gurus PLEASE.
Thanks in advance
Alex
Nothing guys? Comon there must be something i forgot to try...

I would have to guess it's a hardware problem... although you have tested everything, still, I'd have to vote for sending it in for service

Well, thats my next conclution. It has to be the main board which is the only one we couldnt test...i just dont want to go there yet as it means that i have to sell it for spare parts.
As for sammys service i cant really go anywhere near them after what i have put my phone through
This issue has suddenly appeared. I have tried stock rom (nordic) CM9 and different aosp roms and also different modems, but the problem always returns after half a day or something.
So I can factory reset my phone, make a couple of calls and everythings fine for awhile but then suddenly no one can hear me during calls. I mean there is no sound at all, dont think the mic is turned on. The sound can start to get poor (like im on speaker and far away from the phone) til it doesnt work at all.
I have testet the microphones using voice recorder and taking a video and everything works fine, so i refuse to belive that the mic is faulty. Although its even weirder that the problem still persists after multiple full wipes (format system, cache, data, dalvik) different roms. Probably flashed stock rom with odin 3 times now and the problem is still there. I am now running fully stock non rooted, ive reset the custom binary counter and im ready to send the phone in for repair.
Unless the community can help me out ? any replies are appreciated!
Thanks!
Note that I can still hear the other person but he cant hear me. Switching to speaker and it all works fine ?!?!
What happends when i switch to speaker? does the phone switch microphones aswell? I understand that theres a mic on the top and bottom.

Yes. Regular voice calls use the lower mic, speakerphone uses the top mic. So it sounds like either something is blocking the lower mic, or the lower mic has failed. If you're comfortable opening the phone up yourself, you can try re-seating the rubber housing that is on the lower mic yourself. If not, take it to a service center.
Returned from repair
So guys I received med phone back from repair yesterday and the following parts have been replaced:
Module-RCV+MOT+MIC+E/Jack FPCB (GT_I9100)
ASSY ETC-SUB FPCB (GT_I9100)
And guess what, the problem still persists, my first phone call worked fine, but then the second call failed just like before?!?!!?
Is it possible that there is another hardware fault thats causing this?

Bump..... anyone???
Hmm. Maybe the rubber housing on the mic slipped after the first call, and is now blocking the mic. Or the part failed again. Or did you maybe put a case on the phone after the first call?
I have a 2 year old Motorola Atrix which I have had in an otterbox since day 1. The phone is in more or less mint condition. A couple days ago I noticed that I couldn't hear the phone ring when I called people. So figuring the phone wasn't dialing I would hang up and try again. Still no luck.
I called my phone via GoogleTalk and could not hear anything through the phone. I put it in speakphone mode and could hear no problem. The mic was picking up correctly in both speaker and normal mode. I can hear notification sounds and ringer sounds through the speaker.
If I plug in headphones I can hear sound through them on a call. However if I unplug them I once again hear nothing.
If power off and power back on (or reboot) it continues to behave the same (no sound through phone when calling). However 9/10 times if I do a full power-off and battery pull when I turn it back on it will work for a short period of time. This leads me to believe the speaker itself is still working.
I have tried downloading an app that disables headset pass through, I have tried rebooting, battery pulling, and full factory, cache, and dalvik wipes. I have tried cleaning the headphone jack, putting headphones in and out multiple times, as well as ensured the mic was clean.
I have been running epinters CM10 November 2012 release and have only just started having this issue, so I am confident it is not a ROM issue, as nothing has changed.
Anyone have any ideas outside of me contacting bell, on what might be going on?
I did a full wipe and flashed lastest CM10. It worked for the first couple of calls I made however it is back to not working. I have a feeling now it is not a ROM issue and that it must be hardware.
Holla fellows, on my LG G5 I am facing a very bizarre issue. When I activate my speakers my microphone stops working. when on earpiece they work like a charm. Also microphone didn't work when used my other applications like skype or hangout, but while using earpiece they are perfectly fine. Anyone else got this issue on G5 or anyother device ? Any suggestion or advice is greatly appreciated.
I'm having the same issue. Literally just got the phone 4 days ago. Pretty happy about it. Have you reset?

Yes, I tried resetting via backup and restore under settings menu
Reset mine and thought about the mic being housed in the battery holder bottom part. Why not take it out and clean connections....mic works great now. Dunno if from reset or alcohol cleaning connections. Give it a shot.
Same here i purchased the phone on 5-5-16 it will reboot on its own almost everyday till 5-19-16 when it completly just gave up and wouldn't turn on. So i went to tmobile and they replaced it for a new one. But now the replacement gave up yesterday 5-28-16. It has managed to turned on once but the device was too hot that i turned it off to cool it down and it wont turn on anymore. Sucks that is long weekend and i wont be getting s replacement soon.
I too am having this issue, however mine has one other weird glitch. If i put the phone on speakerphone and talk into th phone like normal (phone up to my ear) i can hear myself in the phones speaker faintly and the mute button does no work at all. Works fine on normal mode but not on speakerphone. To me this is a software issue vs hardware issue, I bought the phone second hand so I dont really have any warranty. Anyone have anything to offer up to try? Ive tried a different battery module base and no luck, same issues. Its almost like the phone needs a entire reflash done to it. Other then this issue the phone rocks.
The phone is a Canadian H831 model.
I had similar issue with older device. Read on some thread and they suggest disable Google now. It worked for that device. I am not sure if it will for you guys?

Thanks for the link @marac1993 will check
I had the same problem. It turned out to be a "hardware" thing. There are two microphones, one at the bottom of the phone which works when on earpiece, and the second one on the top of the phone (above earpiece) which works when on speaker mode. I cleaned the first one several times without noticing there is a second one on the top. It turned out that the second microphone was blocked by some dirt. I cleaned it and now it works like a harm when on speaker mode.
