Dear all,
Please help me out. My bro brought a second hand XDAII and when I upgraded his rom to WM2005, there has been NO whatsoever SOUND on his XDAII. The touch screen, phone calls, and any other sounds are totally mute (without any further software installation). My guess is that I had messed up something with the registry or with the system files. Any1 knows how to check this out?
BTW, I have been up-downgrading between different ROM versions and nothing helps!
Please, any kind souls, help me before my bro starts choking me to death.
Thank you in advance

Dear,
Yeah, that's strange, when the headset is plugged in, all the audio comes back to life again. Why is that?
Try inserting the headset and pulling it out sharply a few times, I think maybe the socket is stuck in headset mode, I may be wrong but it might be the answer.
It still doesn't work
I've tried that a few times, but it still doesn't work
Thank you anyway.
BTW, any other possible solutions to this
Thanks in advance
Ken
Finally it's resolved
Thanks to cruisin-thru, I finally managed my XDA to play audio sound. My trick was exaclty like what cruisin-thru suggested, except for that I did a little twist when I inserted the headphone into the socket :lol:
Now that I am assured it is hardware-related problem, I will try my best to have it exchanged for other device
Thank you cruisin-thru.
Ken
I've same problem but audio function just Mute (not after upgrade)
I do all Softreset and Hardreset not thing change
The finaly I do and the all audio came back is "Remove Battery" :wink:

I posted this over at PPCPassion too, and someone suggested I try here...just really looking for help. Here's what happened. I woke up, and my phone (TMo XDA with PPCTechs 64MB upgrade, 128SD card), which had been left on all night, doesn't work as follows:
-When I dial a call, I can't hear the other phone ringing through the speaker...and when the person answers, I can't hear them...nor can they hear me. The phone indicates 'Dialing' and then the duration time starts when they answer
-When I get a call, my phone rings, but when I answer, same as above, they can't hear me and I don't hear them
-But the speaker and mic DO work...I tested this using a voice memo.
-Also, same symptoms whether using spkr phone on or off
Any thoughts on this? It 'fixed itself' yesterday after I performed a back up (I was going to do a hard reset/restore). THen today same problem. Did the backup just to see if somehow that solved it, but this time it's not working. Before I do the hard reset I want to see if anyone else has any thoughts.
I really dont want to have to send this to TMo since my unit has 64MB from the upgrade...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. FWIW I'm not a developer so if you recommend technical things please explain them thoroughly :0
And THANK YOU in advance!

Had the same thing happen to me. Thought of hardware failure at first, tried similar things and came to similar conclusions. Tried SD Backup, then hard reset. Not solved. Înteresting that during backup one dll file seemed to be stuck (think it was a dll, although dont remember name).
In my case solved itself when I remapped the RECORD action to the left button. Very strange......
Any permanent solution or reason would be welcome....

How did you go - the symptoms are the same as dropping pin 19 to ground (for a car kit), you lose speaker and built in mic so make sure 19 isn,t shorting with 18, Steve
Speaker & Microphone not working
I encounterd the same problem - from one day to the other mic and speaker stopped working. When I connect power to the device using a USB sync cable mic and speaker are turned on again. It really seems that the XDA is set into car mode. :?
Assuming that pins 18/19 were shorted, I have cleaned the connector but this didn't help.
There's another thing which has happened to people: it appears the connector for the headphones isn't all that sturdy, so after a while the device thinks the connector always stays in. Not sure that would explain this behaviour, but just thought I'd mention it.
Same problem happened to me... help
How do you solve this problem? I have tried to plug and unplug the headset and did a reset... still the only thing that comes out of the speaker is the ring. The only want I can use the phone or hear anything is to use the hands free... Please help.

Fortunately, my device was still under warranty. I had to return it to O2.
Headphone Mode?

Hi
My Qtek seems to be similarly stuck in the headphone mode. Any idea how to get out of it? Would removing the headphone socket entirely help?

Hi,
the speaker dosn't work anymore. But the strange thing is, that it is working in the bootstrap selftest.
Any help welcome

You could do a complete backup, then hard reset then see if it works.
It is probably due to a bad contact in your phone headset jack. Try plugging in your headset to check if your phone or pda works with the headset. If so, then try plugging-in and unplugging the headset plug to switch the jack connections back to the speaker. If this does not work try putting a drop of WD40 on the end of the headset plug and insert it in the jack a couple of times. (Do not spray directly into the jack). It might just clean up the contacts and get the sound back to the speaker. If all this fails, you may need to open up the phone to fix the jack.
I hope that you do not have to do the latter.
Best of Luck
hi all,
nothing of this worked.
But the Speaker works in the boot-menu Hardware-Test
ah
Hi mate. I've just had the same problem as you, tried repeatedly inserting and removing the jack - no luck. Used WD40 on the jack - no luck. Resigned to taking it to bits I removed the battery cover and noticed the little gap which leads through to a gold-looking connector by the headphone socket. I stuck my stylus in there and gave it a big wiggle and hey presto! Sound returned. Give it a go, you never know. Hope you get as lucky as I did.

Mal,
It seems that your problem is not a hardware one because your speaker actually works on boot-up. Do a search on this forum using the keyword "sound". There are a couple of posts on Aug 21, from other people having the same problem and one of them managed to get sound back by reverting to an earlier version of a software that was causing the problem.
Maybe you have a similar kind of problem.
Pat
Hi,
do you have a link to the topic. I only found articles to sound problems of the XDA-II.
thanx
MAL
has anyone had this problem? and how is it resolved? It works now and again and i've tried a hard reset to no joy.
Any help will be greatly appreciated as i love my xda and dont wanna have to buy a new one.
Regards,
Darragh
Hello, I'm not quite sure I understand your post.
Does your speaker sometimes fail?
If that's the case, it could be that the headphone jack is failing and some have reported that inserting the headset several times dislodges the internal switch so the speaker returns to normal.
Or, it could be that the speaker loosen a little so the contacts fail. If so, please follow my tutorial. (My model is a MDA2, XDA2).
Follow this link to the tutorial.

Yes, try inserting and removing the headset a few times. Sometimes a little squirt of switch gear after will keep it from sticking.
Hi guys
Lately my prime is acting up, yesterday sound worked half and then not, and a reboot and then it worked again...
now today, i wanted to try listen to some music on it ( speaker), and it doesnt work at all, even at restart, cold boot.
none seem to work.
But when i plug in my headset, the sound comes out normally out of it...
Do you think the speaker is broken? or do you have perhaps another option for me to try?
Thnx in advance.

Barely, if i use it about 2 x a month with headphones..
mostly just speaker.
Anybody any idea what i should do?
Hi everyone.
I´ve just bought an used atrix 4g.
The problem is that when I plug the earphones, those are recognized but I hear some weird sounds. It seems to be a codecs problem, but I really don´t know.
I searched a lot for help, and I cleaned the jack, but the problem still continues.
Thank you.

no. it's your headset jack. try to lift it out a little and it should be fine, or replace your headset.
