Speaker Problem - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My hero has not undergone any physical damage that i know of, but after rooting my G2 Touch, and installing VillainRom 10.3, then updating to VillainRom 12 , shortly afterwards, no sounds play out the speaker, im not sure why, a couple of days ago , text alerts work fine, iv jut tried EzHero final and that doesnt work, so i was wondering what the problem was, any ideas guys?

Should be posted in another forum. This is Dev forum

sorry
soz im like a huge noob at this stuff

Thread moved to Q&A.

Odd, I have the same problem. I had a Rom flashing spree yesterday, and now the external speaker is not working. I can't pinpoint exactly when it stopped working tho...
Could it have something to do with the official WWE 2.1? All the roms I flashed were based on this
edit:forgot to mention that the sounds do come through the headphones (i.e ringtone, sms notifications) and the vibrate function still works

People having problems hearing me

Hey guys, i have tried searching the forums but i havent found anybody with the same problem as me, since i flashed my bell ppc6800 with dcd 4.1.2 & radio rom version 3.42.50, i have had people say that i sounded very far away and i have to speak up sometimes scream for them to hear me, i even tested it out with my friend, he used my phone and i used his, i could almost hear nothing at all when he talks at a normal voice tone, anyone have the same problem? maybe a fix? I would say it acts normally about 30% but the other 70% people can't hear me
Try a reflash maybe your audio file or got messed up.
u mean reflashing dcd or the radio as well?

[Fix] Audio Fix for Droid Eris

Hey everyone. im from the Hero CDMA forum. i have made audio fix patches for the hero that fixed the audio loss for 2.1 roms.
I recently ended development for the audio fixes because the issue began to rise in people with stock heros. but with that aside, i will create a fix for eris users if enough of you have the problem. i believe i have seen 7-8 people with it. anyways leave a comment telling me you have the issue, when it happened, what roms cause it, and what your software builds are, and what roms dont cause the issue. thanks for the cooperation and i hope i can help
Hey Avalaunchmods!
Thanks for the help with this! I am running the Aloysius (Coincidentally a Hero port):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663893
Audio usually cuts out for me when I am receiving a notification. It will kind of stutter/jitter and then continue to play.
one of my custom ringtones cut out on an incoming call once, but only once. so it may have only been a fluke. hadnt happened before or after.

I get the same using VanillaDroid ROM.
Thanks for the help!
I have had this problem pop up intermittently, but with increasing regularity (up to 2-3 times daily at its worst). The sound profile and volumes remain unchanged, but sometimes for no apparent reason, all audio drops. If I get a call, there is no ringer. If I get a notification, there is no audible alert. If I place/answer a call, the earpiece/speakerphone are silent, and the other party doesn't hear me. The rest of the phone's functions still work, and vibrate still works, but there is no audio from any apps or OS functions until I reboot the phone.
As for particular triggers, I haven't found any yet. I had been running ivan's 0.8t2, but have downgraded to his older 0.5.4 to see if the problem is fixed. So far it hasn't popped up, but it's only been a few days.
Thanks again for your willingness to help. I'll be sure to let you know if I see the problem resurface.
I know the fix is only possible in rooted phones, but I wanted to chime in and let you know that a lot of people on 2.1 leak v2 non-rooted are having this issue, so you can see some of the symptom reports in these threads on androidforums:

I have a non-rooted phone and I have the same issues...
If by audio problems, you mean no sound via ringtones, notification or voice over the ear piece, then I have experienced it with Ivan's 08T2. I've had it happen about three times. I did a reboot and it corrected it.
another Aloysius user here, and yep, audio problems out the wazoo. good thing I text mostly.
alright this got moved to general?
i though this would fit in development haha.
anyways ill get on a fix i believe. ill put it somewhere. not dev..
I've had audio issues, but the only thing that seems to cause it for me us getting a force close on any program that is currently playing audio, such as a music player or (worse) an alarm clock.
I've never had audio just randomly cut out on me, but it definitely all stops working after such a force close
I'm having the same audio issues. I'm currently on VanillaDroid v1.0. I experienced the issue on the eris21official-root ROM as well. It usually happens after I use the camera to snap a few pictures. If I don't use the camera, it is pretty stable. Let me know if you need any further information.

Avalaunchmods,
Since the Droid Eris kernel code was made available from HTC, have you been able to make any further progress fixing the audio loss bug for the Eris and Hero?
Right now the only solution we know of is to replace the phone. (Those of us who have gotten warranty replacements have not had the problem resurface.)
But even if the problem is related to certain hardware, it seems like there might be a way to fix the kernel's *reaction* to the problem, so that the phone doesn't become unusable.
Having the problem too.
Happened on Evil Eris and Ivans.
Any update on this? I am having the same issue on both CyanogenEris v1.1 and ELB-Cyanogen.
i am having this issue as well, running Ivans Eris_Official 1.0 Alpha. Experienced this issue on the 0.82t also. No audio from the phone's earpiece (speakerphone wont work either) when a call comes in, or if i try to call them back. have to reset the phone and then it works. I'm running setcpu at 710 now, but i wasn't on 0.82t so probably not the culprit.
My software version stats, in case it matters -
Firmware - 2.1
Baseband - 2.42.00.04.12

hi..i'm havin this issue too!
I'm on a froyo rom now. I was on an xtr rom when I noticed this problem. Tried to flash a new rom to get rid of it and it's still there. I can use the phone for a few hours and then the only way i can answer calls is through speakerphone.

Audio Problem
I've had this problem every since the 2.1 update. My wife and I both had it (we both have a Eris) on unrooted phones. I rooted to ErisLightning and still had it, switched to Tainted Vanilla, and now I'm on Lightning Bolt. My wife is on Droid Does Pink and we've had the problem with every single rom. Sometimes when we receive or make calls, the phone will go completely mute. We can't hear the other person and they can't hear us. We can't hear a ring tone if calling someone either.
I use Google Voice and I sometimes get ghost voicemails. It will save the entire length of the voicemail, but it will be completely mute. Even if I restart and re-open GV it's still mute.
For now, we're just rebooting whenever we have this problem. Seems to be the only way to get audio back.

Hd2 froyo problems

I'm not sure where I need to post this info, but I've got some questions and a few bugs which I've found so far. Someone please help/guide me in the right direction.
Im using dan1j3l v1. and jmz dual boot
Problems I'm experiencing:
browsing is slow or has problems,
screen freeze after hitting screen lock button (power button),
when calling using speaker phone sounds distorted and sound will not revert back to normal.
I've searched for the answers, their not easy to find here or I'm just dumb one of the two. So, I'm sorry for the post....
hd2 batter issue
Oh yes, the battery is also an issue. No indication of battery level...
I've done everything on sd, therefore, I won't void my warranty...

You have to flash the radio, you should check some of the ROM flashing tuts , same thing for flashing a Radio, just make sure it is a compatible Radio or you could have a brand new HD2-PaperWeight ....
HD2 Froyo problems, continued...
Put it on my Indian purchased HD2 after installing the latest (dec 2010) HTC rom updates and...
1) Radio works!!! (never knew I had one)!!
But...
1) Can't set alarms (nothing gets saved)
2) flashlight app only does highest setting (other are off)

[Q] axura 2.3.1 no sound on speaker

hi guys i think i saw a thread or post before about this but i am not quite sure, and hate to post the same question that has been answered before but i couldnt find that.. anyways i am running straight up axura 2.3.1 and i noticed whenever i play music on it, i would only hear it on headphones/earphones but not on the phone speaker. any ideas?
thanks i appreciate the help alot
It is like stuck on headphone mode even headphone isnt plug. Ive odin back to stock, reflashed and nothing works
Edit. I dont have any system sound. i can hear alert sounds and all. hmmmmmmm any ideas?
Unless you have the speaker turned off (which I doubt) you may just have a bad flash I have this rom on my wife's phone and I just checked it works fine. So reflash is probably the easiest and fastest way to fix.

i reflashed and back to stock, flashed bionix, axura. still no media sound and system sound. i highly doubt its axura itself, since i flashed it a couple times before and had no/little bugs but not anything with the sound
edit: i was researching and found that somewhere between the line, it might be this issue

[Q] Need help with bad echos, on Passion v12

Hi,
I'm on ICS Passion V12 rom and I have this issue, I hope someone can advise how to solve it. Ever since I flash this ICS Passion rom, my friends start telling me that when they say something, they can hear echos back and background noises. On my end, I have no problem hearing them. I used the speaker all of the time. I believed this issue only happen when I turn on the speaker. I even lower the volume down and it's still happen.
Looking at the OP and thought this is an issue with mute/unmute so I tried it but it doesn't help. I also searched thru the forum but unable to find the answer. Is this just me with this issue? I really like this rom and hope to get this problem resolve. If you know the answer, please advise.
Thanks!

My phone does that when i turn on speaker phone also, only to the listener on the other line.
I have seen this happen on my phone as well. I have also had this problem on other non smart phones and also on the stock rom. It does seem to happen every time using the speaker phone on passion v12 though. Just last night I had it happen during normal calling (not on speaker phone) but it was only for a brief moment. The rom IS in beta so maybe it will be fixed.
Thank you for reply to my question. I went thru 950 pages last night (what a pain...hehehe) in the developer forum and found number of others are also having this issue. Some are suggesting to use V11. I probably will give that a try b/c I only use speaker for phone so I can't use phone with this issue.
Anyone know if flash to V11, do I need to do wipe, wipe, wipe before flash? I want to keep the settings and app, etc...
Any good ICS rom beside Passion?
