Hi, I have an htc titan and I live in Italy; I bought it from expansys because here in not on sale yet..My problem is this: when I plug the headphones ( any brand from htc to something else) I'm not able to receive or make phonecalls but I can receive and send sms and the very strange thing is that this happens only with my operator ( TIM) but not with my wife's (Vodaphone). I went to a TIM shop and I've tried new simcards but nothing has changed...Htc cstumor service told me to try to uninstall all the apps I've installed to see if someone of them is causing the problem...what do you think? I am the only one on earth to have this kind of problem...???
Thank you!
Can anybody hell me??

I can't Hell you but i guess i can help you LOL j.k
Well, there is a few thing you need to check.
1. Set all region to Italy
2. Make sure TIM has the required Freq for Titan, EU Titan would be fine, not sure about AT&T one
3. Use Connection Setup to get the phone automatically set up.
4. yes, like ktdan1 said, check the speaker.
5. Describe more about the error. You should do a little video.
First of all thank you for your hell!!

1.The phone is already setted on Italy and usually ( i mean without the headphones plugged in ) is working fine..
2. I don't know how can I check the right Tim Freq for Titan and believe me the Tim customer service I don't think is able to know that..
3. I used the automatically set up
4. When the headphones are plugged in the speaker of the phone is not working...I mean the sound comes out of the headphone..
The point is that when I plug the headphones is like I lose the connection but not totally infact the bar is full of signal, i can receive and send sms but when I dial a number the phone call doesn't start and nobody is able to call me...
Another strange thing is that If I dial a number without the headphones I can make a call and then I can plug the headphones without any problems..is like the headphones are blocking just the start of the call...
As you know the headphones is also the antenna for the radio and even if I'm not a technician maybe that's could be the reason...
As I told you with my wife's simcard from vodaphone this problem doesn't happen..And I tried other simcards alway from Tim and some problem!
Please ask me anything you need to know to try to solve the problem..I'm sorry for the video..when I have a little more time I'll try to do it ( I have a 3 months old son and believe me having time for a cellular now is like looking for water in the desert..but I need to solve the problem beacuse I work with my smartphone..)
Ciao!

I see your problem now. Because the same thing happened to me. Can't confirmed yet but i was able to call somebody yesterday with the Headphone on, but the sound come out very crappy with a lot of "bzzzzzz" sound, also the sound of weak signal or something like that. But believe me, we are on the same boat. I used to see my Titan refuse to make a call, like when i dial a number, it just automatically end that call, and everyone who try to call me will receive "tut tut tut tut" rapidly.
I will try to investigate this thing out.
I thought you wasn't able to hear anything from the phone
Ohh is good to know that I'm not alone in this world!!!
Yes I have the same tu tut tu...
As I wrote I can send and receive sms with headphones in, can you?
The italian htc customer service really don't know anything about it! they always confuse the tytn with the titan!! after specyfing what telephone I have they told me to unistall all the apps that I have...but I dind't do it 'cause I'm quite sure this is not the problem...
Anyway, how can it's possibile that we're the only two unlucky guys with this problem?

Just wait for it. Probably because Titan is not well known at Italy and it isn't released yet?
I think this is a Hardware Issue somehow, because the headphone that HTC gives us is the same as the one i used on the HD7 and it perform without anyproblem on HD7.
I will contact one of the old HTC American Tech Support who used to help me and i will ask him about it.
I also have a strange carrier related problem.. I used to have Norwegian Chess and no problem at all, but now I've changed to Telenor and got a new simcard.. Now, when I call people that have other carriers than Telenor, like my friend got Tele2, I get the calling tone thru the back speaker.. It's really loud and it's getting on my nerves.. Seems like the Titan really hates simcards?
Still nothing?

I am asking HTC right now, wait for my old technican guy.
Hey, I'm writing just to tell you that today I got the new update (Firmware Version: 20104 - Radio Software: 03.17 - Boot Loader-version: 2.1) but nothing has changed...
Bye!
Hi, finally I got a solution...I bought a bluetooth headphones...
Hi!
I just rooted my SGS3 today and I noticed that some friends of mine had some problems hearing me during the call. I made some other phone calls and my friends confirmed the problem.I did the phone calls under a good network coverage. I'm new to android and I wanted to ask if someone else had the same problem or if there is a solution for it.
Thanks,
No not at all i highly doubt rooting your phone assuming everything was done correctly could have any impact in call quality, mine is fine.
I noticed my call quality is crap today. Not sure when it started, but it's bad. I'm testing by leaving myself voicemails on my work number. I'm starting from a seated position and the call was clear enough, but as soon as I start walking around it gets very badly garbled to where you can't make out what was said. I put the sim back in the galaxy nexus and quality was fine, so I don't think it's the network, also I have full bars.
Is it possible something could be causing interference to the S3 and not the Gnex?
Yes I am rooted, and yes I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with it.
Was data on at the time? If so, disable and test.
Try another modem or firmware with different modem.

Hi all,
I know many people have been experiencing issues when other people cant hear voice.
I have been having this issue for some time, I have tried to disable/enable the noise reduction settings and that has had no effect.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?
I called samsung who asked me to do a test using:
*#0283#
which is a voice loop test. It worked perfectly fine.
The Customer Service rep told me I have to send them phone in, I would normally do that but I cannot use my Sim card in another phone because its a micro sim. I dont have another phone anyway so buying a micro sim adapter wont help.
I need my phone for work etc...
Thanks in advance

Recently bought a second hand S3 on the UK three network and used a unlock code as on t-mobile/orange. It was working fine but recently it stopped sending and receiving calls and texts. Data usage is fine. Not sure when this happened as mainly use it for data as have a works phone. Can remember doing a software update (think to jelly bean) recently but couldn't say whether its started after that. Have used my cut down sim in the wifes S3 and it works okay and put her sim in miner and that has same issue. When I try to call it immediately ends call and texts just fail. Have tried setting to network manually both 2g and 3g and auto, sometimes it say cant register and other times it does but when call ends it then seems to change to another available network. Started to think the imei may have been blocked but wouldn't expect data to work. Anyway rang t-mobile and they said everything looks okay their end and the imei is not black listed but not sure how they could tell that. Said the issue must be with my phone. Have emailed samsung to see what they say but not to hopeful with it being a second hand phone. The bars on the signal seem okay too.
Anybody got any idea's on what to try or do as its currently an expensive data only device. :crying:
Have already tried a factory reset.

If it's not your imei number. Did you have a backup of your efs folder?

Didn't have a backup of anything, why? One thing I have noticed is that the sim card doesn't click into the slot. compared it against the wife s3 and the sim card doesn't go as far down as if something is blocking it. Tried my sim in the wifes s3 only putting it in the same distance and it worked fine. Anyway just in case I took some of the plastic off the bottom right up to the metal chip so it would sit in the right place not being all the way down but it still does not work. Whilst having the sim in the wifes phone I diverted all calls to my works mobile and when back in my s3 its shows as calls being diverted so it must be working up to a point. Not sure whats wrong with the sim card slot, the mechanism which you push to insert and release seems to be broken so not sure if this is the cause or just a knock on effect from taking the sim card in and out alot
.
Can the sim card slot/mechanism be replaced/fixed easily?
I have a G925A AT&T version - unlocked. I've been using it on Straight Talk for the past year with no problems. Switched to T-Mobile last week and everything seems to have been going fine. However my husband has had issues where nearly every time he calls me, he hears very loud buzzing-static when I answer the phone and I just hear silence on my end. But the call always goes through when he tries a second time. We thought it was his cell phone (Huawei Honor 8) having problems but today he called me from his landline at work and he heard the exact same loud buzzing-static noise while I got silence. So it has to be something with my S6 Edge. I've searched online and am coming up empty and I can't even figure out if it must be a setting I need to change for T-Mobile or maybe my phone is going bad?

Hmm - were they able to fix it? Sounds like I'll have to go in to T-Mobile and talk to them, then. This can't go on - it's literally every other phone call and the sound is so loud my husband is afraid it's going to damage his phone.
