Hello all,
Ive had a number of error messages telling me "There is no bluetooth hardware installed on this device". This is after a dropped it and a car ran over the side of it in the leather bag.
ANyways, this message is not consistent. Shaking the phone and knocking it about may recover bluetooth for a while. Soft/Hard resets seem to be completely useless.
This is why I would love for someone to tell me where on the mother board is bluetooth.
Thanks,

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?
Sands
Ihave this problem: since a month or so, whenever I put my headset into the XDA I cannot hear anything, but very often when I remove them I cannot still hear anything from the speaker! So I have to plug/unplug them a couple of times in order to get thing to work again.
I feel the problem might be the connector soldered on the xda board. Is there any problem plugging headsets while the phone rings?
might it be a software problem? something I installed?
Any help is appreciated!
The headset socket on the xda is known to be troublesome and easy to damage, you could try a little squirt of wd40 in the socket.

Ok, thanx, but... what is wd40? :-O
Cheers,
WD40 is a spray can product used for easing nuts/bolts/hinges etc when they become rusted or stuck, the other product is something called switch gear which acts in a similar way but without leaving much residue. I thought WD40 was a worldwide product.
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

Any audio coming from headset when plugged in??

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:
from device then put it back.

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my new touch pro 2 from verizon.
I purchased the act100 TV out cable:
http://store.wmexperts.com/htc-tv-out-cable-act100/11A75A5166A.htm
I plug it in as instrucated, the touch pro 2 asks me what type of signal i want (NTSC/PAL) then brings me to a screen where i can pick Presentations etc.
However the TV displays no images, i get sound but never a picture.
I have tried this on 2 different TV's and tried both NTSC and PAL and all i ever get is a blank screen with audio.
Am i missing something or is the device faulty?
thanks
Raptor

Hi Raptor,
I have exactly this problem, and I am quite distressed, because it worked only a few days ago. Did you ever get this issue resolved? I know you listed the same issue on another forum, but I couldn't tell how you did it from the post. How did it work?
Cheers,
Joel
Sad to say i never made this work sorry.
Me too, and google around doesn't help anyway,
If it's has resolved, pls post it in here or pm me.
Thanks
Ok, some year ago i tried to make the sound work through the speakers in my car.
I opened up a soundcable and modifyed it to fool the phone that it was in video out mode.
So here's how the cables should be connected. I can post my pics of how it looks and maby someone's able to figure something out from it
Actually, it would be really easy to fool the phone that it's in Video out mode, just bend the gnd wire to the tv-detector wire, and solder them together (inside the cable that goes into your phone).
The blue and the orange pin needs to be connected to each other inside the cable housing.
Edit: To clear things out this actually works on my phone and whenever i connect the cable it swaps over to video-out mode. No problems at all.
Edit2: Nevermid, after reading through your post i noticed that you've already got the phone thinking it's in video out mode, so that's probably not the problem.
Hi,
I have a problem with my microphone which was really weak. I can't have calls because people don't understand what i saying.
So i decided to change my USB Board. I buy one from eBay, but after changing it, the microphone is still weak
I tested both microphone directly with the phone disassembles, and it works correctly. But when I reassemble the phone, the microphone does not work (it is really weak).
Does anyone know where it can come because I do not really understand the problem.
Thank you.
Try cleaning the mic's hole on the case.Maybe there is a little dirt stuck.

Already tried, the hole is totaly clear
bkd35,
I have exactly the same problem. Nothing changed after replacing this USB board also. It seems that mic is working but all it records is way to quiet. I was checking that with voice recorder, it records sounds when I yell into that small hole.
Everything is perfectly clean, no dust anywhere. Also I checked if the problem still exists after reinstalling android, after going through many roms, stock and custom ones nothing changed.
What is more interesting, for me sad, I was looking for a solution on many forums and all people can say is to use service codes but they don't work for me. Guys, any ideas what to do? Thanks
EDIT: oh and by the way, maybe it would be better if this thread would be "low microphone volume" or something like this
