Hi to everyone,
I bought my LG P500 a week ago and i really liked it.
I installed the following applications:
Connectbot
gmon
net swiss tool
os monitor
ping and dns
network discovery
andftp
astro
ny times
task manager
urban dictionary
imdb
adobe
mercury free
I was working ok. Last night i left my phone charging and went to sleep. Then, this morning i started to use the phone and found out that the volume on the speaker was very low despite being at maxium in the handset configuration settings. And its not on silent mode.
Also when in a call, i put the speaker and i cant hear anything.
Also i restored the phone to factory defaults, soft and hard reset.
The phone didnt get wet neither was dropped....so i wonder what can be wrong!!!!!
please help me, i really love this phone....
Thank you in advance
Fernando
Ok, some additional info:
I dont know if i did in fact a hard reset, i have tried this:
1. Menu -> Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Reset.
2. Pressed the following code 3845#*500# shows LG Hidden Menu. Then the option Factory Reset -> Factory Reset.
3. Started the phone holding: Home+On/Off+VolumeDown.
However none of those procedures worked. I think its a hardware problem, however, i found something weird. When accessing the hidden menu using the option 2 (3845#*500#).
You select Device Test -> Sound Test -> Audio CAL Tool -> Sound Calibration
Does anyone knows how this tool works??
Thank you again in advance.
i m facing same issue .
i have flashed various stock roms but problem persists. i think its an hardware issue .
plz help anyone .
I just clean the speaker on top with a brush and it is working fine now.

Hello all,
I'm new here, have read lots of the information available, but came here looking for an answer that I haven't found yet.
Situation is the following.
I got this Qtek2020 (or XDA II) from my dad who used it for his work. The reason he stopped using it is because the "phone" function itself is kind off acting weird.
Sometimes it is just nog possible to get into phone mode, neither of the two methods make te device display the dial pad...
- hitting the green button
- going Start-> phone
(It's kind off like a non responding program in windows when you want to execute it)
To make things clear, the phone works fine if we go to contacts and then choose the option to call the contact.
The question is, does this problem seem familiar and is there a way to fix it by for example putting a new rom on the device?
Any help or input about this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I think the HARD RESET should help . After a long... long work configuration data and other settings going to be ... melted . If U don't store on devise impotrant data just remove the battery for about 20 mins .
Dear all,
I've used my LG P500 for 1 month. The 1st 3 weeks was okay. The past 7-8 days an error occurs. Every 2 days my phone automatically turns on Silent mode (with vibration) and does not accept mp3 files in sdcard as ringtone. The Sound mode is only active if I pick the phone's stock/original ringtones. Everything is okay if the phone is restarted, but after 2 days it becomes Silent again!
What happened with my phone? How to fix this?
Do you use any app similar to Tasker ?

You meant task killer? I use Advance Task Killer, but not set auto-kill. Can one of the installed app conflict with the Sound setting?
No,no. Tasker is an app that allows you to set your phone to do anything at anytime, anywhere. It is a very complex piece of software.
The first thing that comes into my mind is to do a soft reset.
It happened that I found out the reason! Today my fone became Silent again. Then I uninstalled PowerAMP. After that, the fone turned on Sound mode. I'll wait for another 2 days to confirm if P.AMP conflicts with the sound setting. So strange!
I use poweramp and I don't experience this.
Glad you solved it !

It's useless This time it became Silent (with vibrate) after only 1 day! Maybe there is a problem with my rom or a conflict between 2 else apps. Hix!
BTW, I rooted the fone and remove some default apps (Music, Map, Dual clock...) of the stock rom, and then unrooted the fone, will I be able to perform a hard reset to regain the stock rom now? Or I have to root again and flash the stock rom?
Anyone help me with this?
I don't know, but u cann try
Just reflash the rom that you are currently using

I flashed void yesterday, and this morning my fone has the above problem again!!! It seems that rom upgrade cannot help
Might there be any error with the fone's hardware? Or with the sd card? Besides, I still can execute apps, play music, read prc, pdf... on sdcard as usual.
I think its a certain app you keep using that is enabling the 'silent mode'. Try it for a few days with just a newly flashed and basics, like sapps, gapps applications and see if it still changes.
i think u are installing a buggy app,
try using the phone for 2 days without installing any app after fresh reflash.
I flashed the orginal rom this morning with no additional apps installed. It's still ok by now. Will wait for 1 more day b4 changing to a custom rom. The stock one is so laggy.
u can find the culprit(buggy app) by trial and error method and move it to recycle bin for good
been using void delta for 2 days without errors. Glad that it's not hardware problem ^_^
seems that one of the app I used enabled the Silent mode.
Hi.
as written in another thread i have serious BT HEadset Problems since e few weeks, my opponent cant hear me but i can hear him. Thought this was a firmware iussue..
Today i remembered, that i made some changes in service mode to improve the volume of Headphone and BT Audio and that this could be the problem...??!!
So i tried to enter the values which other GS2 users have in theire phones, but no effort, it went worse, now i even cant hear my opponent.
I hear the start "Bing" and the sound of the dialpad, the hang-up sound, but no spoken word..
Problem seems to be, that the changings i made in service mode aren't saved correctly, every time i enter the service mode, it shows diffrent values for the gain parts..
Here the actuall settings:
service Mode *#*#197328640#*#*
5 Audio => 1 NB (Voice Call) => 4 Bluetooth => 1 Volume
actual Values:
1 SRC Speech RX Volume (all internal Values = 82)
2 DST I2S1 TX Volume (all internal values = 82)
3 SRC I3S1 RX Volume: 98
4 DST Speech TX Volume 94
5 sidetone: 0x64a4
6 I2S1 Rx Gain: 0x64a4
7 I2S1 TX Gain: 0x64a4
Today i tried to change the last 3 values, those are diffrent to users i've asked.
They have 0X0 on all 3 Values.
If i try to enter 0x0 (menu Button => Key Input) then it shows the right 0x0. If i leave service menu and come back, another value is written here (like the 0X64a4 which i've never seen before nor entered it!)
Same if i try to enter only "0" or "ffff" or "7fff" (which stands für 4dB i've read somewhere)..
What can i try or do to get the BT Headset working again???????
greetings
johho
Some crack here who has an idea how to enter the settings correctly????
If not wipe data and factory reset to revert to stock settings .

i've already tryed this, seems that changes in service Mode aren't affected from wiping or erasing data nor depending from installed ROM.
I'm having the same big issue.
mhm... i've tryed again... it seems that... EDIT: i didn't solve the problem, thought i had, but wrong...
After Wiping and reflashing, the BT Headset works again, but my opponents say that im totally to loud..
Back in Service Menu the value for Gain is 0xffff, after going back to main menu and reenter volume menu it shows 0x32.. Values are changing again..
damm it..

The thing that's confusing me is that the values are changing permanently.
After reboot I enter Service Mode, Audio/BT, here's the value on 5&6&7 0X61a4.
if I choose back from menu one time, and reenter Volume, the value of 5&6&7 is "0x32".
This 0X32 keeps from now on, until next reboot.
Very strange thing..
no matter which value i've entered, the value must keep the same even after reboot, not changing every time i enter the menu, does it?
I dont know whats going wrong here...
Would be soooo happy if one Service Mode crack could help us...
..push...
Noone who's a service mode specialist?
Exactly same problem...
I have exactly the same problem....
I did also change some things in the service menu and now I have no sound during a phone call through my car kit (parrot MKi9200).
However if I connect the phone with my Jabra earpiece everything works fine. The sound is actually a bit to loud.
What I notice is that my car kit connects with a "headphone" icon and the Jabra with a "handset" icon.
The Jabra Earpiece is working fine. Two other phones (Samsung Chat & Samsung Gio) are working fine.
I also checked the SGS2 of a collegue, who's phone is untouched by custom rom's and never rooted. Als here the values are changing. I checked the values in his phone and typed them in my phone.....but still no sound during a phone call.
I don't think a wipe will restore the correct values. I dit try a lot of rom's, rooted and non-rooted. Nothing works.
And actuali the values are changing if I go in a menu setting - go back - and go in the menu again.
What I (we) need is a good manual of the service menu.
I hope someone can sort this out and wil have a solution for this anoying problem.

I still have not found a solution to this!!
its absolutly amazing that the values seem to change on every device, even "untouched" ones...
So it cloud be that we only need the right value to enter or the right method to enter it to get back our original settings...
Dam it no service center aployee or samsung crack here who's able to give us some hints???
Going to test my SGS2 on another car kit today
I'm going to test my SGS2 on another car kit today: a Parrot CK3100 LCD

Thanks equinox1979... no problem. I'm glad that it works also for your SGS2 with Parrot.
Did you already upgrade your Parrot to the latest version? I did, still works fine.
P.S. Are you a Jarre fan due to your name?
No, I didn't. I have some little problems with Parrot wiring.
P.s. equinox was my first synthesizers, but I like Jarre's music!!
Ok, I had some issues to with the wiring. Maybe I can help if you explain to me what kind of wiring problem you have.
sadly we have two threads now with same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17401090#post17401090
..
The other Thread sais "solved", but it isn't already solved for me (and some others)..
there was also no need to open a new "solved" thread for the problems here..
Generaly the problem seems to be that noone exactly knows what values should be entered and specially how they be saved after entering for all devices.. Service mode only remembers the last changed device
So I have just noticed this morning when I'm texting....
Every time I'm using the keyboard, the soft keys below (the back, home, task, and input method keys) were... gone. Disappear. I don't know why, it was normal yesterday and I didn't do anything. It makes me kind of difficult every time I have finished typing, because I have to tap on the screen, and cannot hide the keyboard using the back softkey, and I cannot change keyboard input (I switch between the Japanese and international keyboard a lot). but, when I use the keyboard on the lock screen to type my password, the soft keys were still there. Intact. ._.
I have tried to restart twice, but nothing changed. What is wrong? How do I get my soft keys back when I use the keyboard? I'm using the stock Lollipop 5.0.2, not rooted, and never did any modifications at all. Please, can anyone help me? thanks a lot. here i put a screenshot to show you what I mean.
I really do need answer to fix this. once again thanks a bunch!

Hi, I'm facing the same problem since this afternoon too! My soft keys go missing whenever I use the keyboard on my Xperia ZL. Did you manage to find a solution to the problem? I've tried restarting my device too but it doesn't help and I really don't want to factory reset my phone D:
I remember this was a common problem when lollipop was released. Not only limited to stock sony roms. But any lollipop rom.. anyway it was so long ago I first flashed a lollipop rom so I cant quite remember exacly
Hi, I've contacted Sony Xperia and they've provided me with a possible solution:
"In regards to your query, we can advise you to try clear data and cache of the app by going Settings > Apps > All apps > Xperia Keyboard > Force stop > Ok > Clear cache > Clear data and restart the phone and test again. If problem persists, we would suggest that you try to perform a repair of the software using PC Companion. If the issue is related to a problem with your software this will be repaired and your handset will work as intended. "
I've tried it and my keyboard is working fine so far. Hope that it'll help you too
I've tried to clear data and cache and restart, but it was fine for only a few hours and it was gone again I will try to repair software via PC now, i was out of my country last week so didnt have a chance to do it. thanks a lot! i'll let you know if whether the software repair works or not.

Hello Everyone
I have a small issue with my S6 basically what it is that the Recent apps and back button do the same thing open Recent apps. I have a look online everyone says its a software issue but i done everything Hard, Soft, Factory reset and still same. So now I know that its not software it will be the hardware. Maybe any one know witch part of the phone is responsible for the back button functions and would I be able to replace it? Without replacing the phone?
I tried to replace the one of the boards of the phone( the one that has charging port headphone jack and sothing else) but that didn't help. I cant get phone in for the warranty do to i have voided KNOX .
So any ideas would help.
Thank you all
:good:
Acutally this is software. There is a file in the system that controls what those buttons to. You can try and flash your firmware via odin to see if that fixes the issue.

Same problem here!
Back button thinks is recent apps , sometimes work sometimes not , think is an software bug or something.
The problem started after android 6 update.
Downgrade to 5.1.1 dont make a difference.

Mine was different. Back button was working but recent button suddenly not working. But i already change my front glass and after few days those button failed to operate. Now stuck using onscreen float button.
Hi, I have the same problem with te back key. What solved problem for me was installing the app called ,, all in one gestures'' ( free on the market),
in the app, go to the ,, hard keys'' , enable de the app from te accesability tab, at the back key tab select single tap and select the ,, back '' from the submenu.
Hope works for you guys !
