hi all! my xda without warnings, doesn't let me hear any type of sounds....
it doesn't depends by windows settings, because with earpieces i can ear all!!!
i've also re-flash the rsu and nothing!
to understand better....i can't ear any type of sound, not even the bip.bip when i'm calling!!
what can i do?? here in my city there isn't a o2 point...
someone know what is the problem? thank u very much!
--------------edit
so i can only listen a incoming call....
Your headphone socket is jammed, try a few insertions and deinsertions, pulling out sharply, or try a cocktail stick or similar (dont snap it) and jiggle it in the socket. This is a well known problem.
I just noticed that you said you can hear incoming call??? With or without headphone?
without headphones....
with headphones i can ear all, should be a softwere problem....i hope!

Hi,
I played with the conenctors on the XDA and grounded the PIN 19 wich is the CAR ON PIN.
Since then, i can't get any sound coming out from the XDA speaker.
I even did a hard reset and nothing will do.
The speaker works, because i get the ringtone when some one calls me, but no voice, no mp3 etc
I some one could help me to solve this tricky problem :wink:
thanks
yann
ok i solved the problem by plugin in my xda headset.
i guess it resseted the CAR ON feature.
cheers,
yann
...thats because, pin 19 divert audio from built-in speaker to pin-out connector, as if connected to car speakers
there's nothing wrong with it.
I have the same problem, but that solution did not work...
I did not short anything, this same problem has happened to me. I did resets, pluged and unpluged the hands free and still nothing but a ring tone out of the speaker. The only way the phone works is with a hands free... please help me solve this problem.
I searched and could not find any info on this, so sorry if it has been asked before.
When my ear piece is plugged in to the unit, the ringer will not ring (produce sound) through the speaker, it only rings (produces sound) through the ear piece. Is there a setting I am missing? Or, has anyone else had this problem...thanks!
That is normal, when you plug in the earpiece sound is diverted to the earpiece and the speaker is dead, once you remove it the sound will return to speaker, why would you want sound through the speaker while using the earpiece?
Thanks for the reply. I must not have asked the question very well.
I do understand that the sound is diverted to the ear piece while it is plugged into the phone. And I understand that voice needs to be because you want to hear what people are saying.
However, many times I carry the phone in my pocket with the earpiece plugged into it. When it rings, I can not hear the ring because the ringing sound is also being diverted to the ear piece.
If you take a look at the Handspring TREO or other non PDA phones, the ringer will ring through the normal speaker reguardless if the ear piece is plugged into the phone or not. This enables you to hear the phone ring if you have the ear piece plugged in. Only the voice sound is diverted to the ear piece, not the ringing sound.
The feature of being able to hear the phone ring while the ear piece isplugged in is important to me. It appears that it is standard on other phones and I was looking to see if there is a setting, hack or ajustment to make this happen on my phone.
Sorry for the long post and not explaining it well the first time.
All the best.
That would be so nice ... I miss this feature in my old Nokia 9210 where there was a "Headset" profile that you can customise.
There is a bit silly solution for this I use it when I 'm in the car. Keep the headset jack a bit loosy ... don't make it firmly connected to the XDA. This way the ringer will come through the XDA but you will get the sound in the headset but only in the right channel :lol:
I don't mind it since I don't use the 2 earpieces for only phone calls ... only for MP3 files :lol: ... hope that will help
Sorry I am without my XDA for a few weeks, so I can't tell you what to do, but I can offer you hope! You can make the phone ring through the XDA when the headset is plugged in.
Head over to www.pdaphonehome.com and search through the forum there.
Thanks for that, I did go over there and could not find the subject, so I posted the topic there. Thanks again!
UPDATE....Updating the ROM to version A.20.17 fixed the issue
UPDATE # 2 Now I upgraded to WM2003 and I am experiencing the same problem...Any suggestions?
Before anybody says use the search......
I have used it, but did not turn up anything on this although I am sure its here somewhere
I plugged in the wrong cable into my XDA a while ago (Medion PDA car cable)
This blew the fuse in the lighter fitting on the cable.....but......
Ever since this happened, my XDA is broke. I can use it as a Pocket PC. I can use it for email and internet but I cannot use it for phone calls.
The unit seems like it is constantly on speakerphone or handsfree. I try making a call and can hear nothing, either thru the handsfree speaker OR thru the main ear speaker. Whoever I call cannot her me either!
Then, I tried the headest in it. Now...I can hear the call, but whoever I call cannot hear anything!
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem???
Its really annoying me as the XDA itself is in great condition but just won't work
Try inderting and removing the headset several times or poke a cocktail stick making sure it doesnt break, this is a known problem with xda and headphone socket, it becomes jammed in closed position. I have also used a spray can of "switchgear", this is a lubricant for switches and other electronic things.
wow! that was a quick reply
thanks a lot
i have tried that but still no luck. i also tried the cocktail stick.
i'll get a can of oil in the morning like wd40 or something as you descibe.
in the meantime any more suggestions are welcome
Same Problem!
Hey, I am having the exact same problem with my Qtek 1010.. everytime i try use the phone it stays permanently on speakerphone and i can't hear anything... did u ever manage to fix the problem? thanks alot
No.
I never did have any success with it after. Ended up scrapping it
try blowing hard on the audio jack
been battling with this all day...
what fixed it is pluggin/unplugging the headset several times then removing the wired headset plug and blowing real hard inside the jack hole where u plug ur headset...common problem it seems, due to a hardware switch inside being stuck fooling the phone to think your headset is plugged wheb it is not.don't know if the rom can "sensitize" the phone to this problem i.e. make it more prone...
Hi all,
I need your help for my recent problem occuring on my XDA Atom. So, yesterday I was using my XDA Atom as music player with pocketmusic application from pocket mind. I use headphones.
After I finish hearing the music, I plug off the headphones before cloesing the application or turning off the music. Usually, if I do that the music sounds will come out from the speaker. However, not this time. So I think there is no problem back then. So, when my friends call my mobile i can still hear ring tones from the speaker.. but when i try to pick it up i can not hear any voices coming out from the speaker and can not use the microphone on the XDA atom. I found out that I can only pick up a phone by using the headphones + microphone (headset) that provided in 02 XDA atom packing. Without that the sepaker can only sounds ringtones. The speaker can not play music, system notification and button taps. I already soft reset and even perform hard reset but this condition persist.
I dont know what to do with this.. Can anyone help??
there r some cases like that noticed due to using the headset. i had a problem similar to this.. the only solution i got was by sending the device to the service center & they tried after replacing some parts like speaker finaly they had to change the mother bord. sad to say it
Solution to your problem
Hi,
I experienced exactly the same problem as you just a few days ago. The problem is caused by the switch contact inside the headphone socket not springing back to allow the internal speakers and microphone to work. The solution is fairly simple. Just poke a toothpick into the socket on the phone and jiggle it around gently. If you do this whilst you have music playing, you'll hear it when you hit the "sweet spot". DO NOT USE A METAL OBJECT TO POKE AROUND.
Just back from the shop to make my Exec repaired... it was exactly the problem of contact of hearphone switch.. after having changed the loudspeaker...
Anyway it is not big deal just clean the switch
It is due to microphone jack.

Have you fixed the problem.
You can fixed this problem by visiting repairing center, they will fixed it by replacing microphone jack, which probably broken inside.
Thankkkk Youuu
GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOur prompt reply to my XDA Problem.. I've just fix the problem by doing the procedure given by TOMTECS... I poke the headset plug-in on my XDA while playing the music.. just a little bit pushing there twisting here.. then.. the sound come out...!!!
THANKS GUYS!!!
I've had the same problem, and I was desperate because I thought it was a tough mechanical or electronical failure. But a little poking with toothpick as tomtecs said worked like a charm! Great!!
Thank you!!
By the way, the switch is on the right hand side in the jack, when the screen is looking above. (tested only for HTC Prophet)
Thanks so much for this posting guys.
I ended up using a kitchen twist tie (you know the ones you use to seal plastic bags) while I had an mp3 running and then heard sound from my speaker again. Yay.
You guys rock!
I have completely lost the sound from external speakers and coincidentally this has happoened since upgrading to AP4 though I am reasonably sure AP4 was NOT the cause of it. But am posting to see if this has happened to any of you. I was using an external stereo headset in the 3.5mm jack and after pulling it out, the speakers on my 7501 don't work. The weird thing is the phone will RING out the external spekaers but the actual phone calls, media player or notifications won't play out the external speakers. It is behaving as if the unit thinks a headphone jack is still in the 3.5mm slot when nothing is there. The USB port headset won't work either which leads me to believe the unit definitely thinks a 3.5mm headset is plugged in when one isn't. Everything else works perfect. Thoughts? Solutions? Please help -- can't send it in for warranty work as I cannot downgrade back to the original HTC WM6 build because of the AP4 upgrade.
Plenty of people already experienced this problem. Try to use the search function next time.
Nevertheless, here's the solution (probably):
First set up you Athena to play some music, so you can hear immediately whether the sound is working.
Then, try to poke around in the 3.5 jack using the headset (or something similar in size). Inside the jack there's a loose contact which makes your athena think a headset is still plugged in, even when it clearly isn't. After some poking, your sound should be working again

To avoid similar recur best consider a good stereo Bluetooth for music and phone.
I’ve encountered before, repeating inserting a 3.5mm jack may not always resolve the issue.
You guys are the best! (Actually I did do a search but couldn't find the problem referencing the Athena). Anyway, wiggling the headset jack about twenty times in and out reset the loose contact and restored sound from the speakers. I will not be using the 3.5mm headset again. Thanks for the help!

This problem has beset all HTC devices from the earliest SPVs, a matchstick or paperclip often help but a BT headset is easier.
Same problem .... but still not solved
These guys really are the best.
I got the point as to what the problem actually is, Still after poking the 3.5 jack in and out many times the sound (songs n calls) is still not working.
though the incoming ring is working. any suggestions pl .
(Anyway because of this problem i downgraded to spl1.2 and now using mincy's 2.04. it even solved my TCPMP not playing flash vids prob.)

Just to make clear what is happening, the 3.5 socket mechanically disconnects the speakers when you plug in the earpiece. over a period of time the spring contact looses its springiness. this leads to a poor contact and off goes the speakers. by poking this contact you are moving it till contact is made. you are best stopping using this socket if it is showing these signs before you loose sound all together. I am sure you can have a new socket fitted but I bet it isn't cheap. As already stated its best to use bluetooth.
Hope this makes things clear

If you can get your hands on one, you might rather use a headset with a extUSB jack. For instance, the standard headset from the Touch Diamond works fine on the Athena.
