I have an Evo 3d for sprint. It has no sound in the earpiece, headphones or external speaker. Everything else seems to work ok. It may have gotten wet and/or dropped. There is a small crack in the battery cover by the power button and the battery moisture indicator in changed color. I'm not sure what the inside looks like because I don't have a screwdriver set right now. I'm hoping it's something I can replace, like a cable, jack or speaker.
Any ideas? Thanks.
info
htc dev unlocked
4ext recovery
cool ics
s-off
hboot 1.58
and it was recently FR. had this problem before and after. Then I flashed revocery, rooted, unlocked and flashed cool ics. was stuck in boot loop, so I flashed Mean rom, which worked. Then I wiped and reflashed cool, working fine. I tried to connect to a BT speaker to see if I could use a headset instead of trying to fix. But I couldn't get it to work, not sure if it was actually connected or if that's another part of the problem.

no, I just goit and I know the speaker didnt work. i was told it will work with bt. I'm wondering if it could be a cable or the speakers. no sound through headphones, but it shows the icon wwhen plugged in.
Could be a driver issue that's why I asked if worked before, but I assume it didn't when you got it. I would try stock rom with blue tooth.

sounds to me the audio amplifiers are bad. But that shouldn't effect blue tooth.

Does anyone have the stock bluetooth.apk for the EVO 3D GSM (ROGERS).
I have been playing around pretty heavily and I may have accidentally deleted the backup of my stock ROM.
I am having trouble on every ROM I try out with bluetooth. It cuts out, or it doesn't work at all.
The only reason I think I need the stock apk is that when I turn the bluetooth on and off, it works fine again... for about 5 minutes. I have tried multiple kernals and roms, but none work.
I am going to try a senseless rom, as I have heard that sense may cause HTC bluetooth quality to be degraded. Until then, though, I was hoping someone could give me a link to the stock bluetooth.apk.
Thanks!
My rom is a Rogers rom and senseless, bluetooth is working fine for me. Try it or if I have time later ill extract my application from it

I actually just flashed with your rom right now! I am going to test on my way home and I will let you know if it worked.
Another thing to note that was strange was that it doesn't work at all with Beats enabled. With beats off, it works for about 5 minutes.
Maybe buffering on the phone? An original HTC design flaw? Faulty hardware?

Seems beats causes more issues than its worth, I may remove it on both my roms, to be honest I don't notice a huge difference in sound quality anyway
Sent from my GingerDex Evo
So... home now, and it played perfectly through the whole ride.
Beats wasn't turned on, nor was I using the stock music player. I used PlayerPro.
I have replicated this scenario before on roms with Sense and it didn't work, including GingerDex V2.0. I really have a feeling it is something to do with Sense, or something HTC.
I really wish I still had my Stock ROM... I never used Stereo bluetooth on there before I wiped it.
I could make you a stock rooted Rogers rom, that's flashable, the only thing ill do to it is root it
Sent from my GingerDex Evo
That would be absolutely amazing.
Here is something VERY strange. I copied the bluetooth.apk and the BrcmBluetoothServices.apk from your nosense rom to the Sense 3.0 Rom that you have and another Sense 3.5 rom that I downloaded and it works without a hitch.
Files are identical though, which makes absolutely no sense to me at all.
I rooted my phone about two months ago and didnt have any problems at all. Used HTC's website and loaded cleanrom reborn 1.1 and the kernel that came with it is 2.6.35.13-g277012f
Recently, about a week or two ago, I noticed the camera starting to fail. It occasionally wouldnt load in 2D mode, just give me a black screen. Now, it rarely loads at all. Either the whole screen is black or it brings up the camera app (stock, instagram, fb, all the same) but the part of the screen that would show the picture is black. When I turn it to 3D mode the screen freezes, then flickers, and quickly closes to the home screen and still flickers for about 3 seconds then is fine.
My questions are this, could this be caused due to needing an update, a new ROM or new hardware? Also what do you all recommend as far as the best ROM for taking pictures?
And on an unrelated note, does anyone know a good ROM that supports 4G hotspot instead of it just automatically switching to 3G??
Thanks
As for the camera failing sorry to here that but you can down load the amaze camera from the dev section and they have all different version of it and its for both CDMA and gsm

That sounds like a software issue.. Might be the rom or the kernel.

My camera just started acting up also, I went ahead and wiped everything and installed bone stock rom (rooted only) and camera is still messed up.
When I use the main camera it works fine, when I switch to front facing camera - it stays on the main camera and just inverts the image
Is this a hardware or software issue? I am guessing it is the hardware
Let me know what you guys think.

Yup. Running an ruu removes root. Just don't run the hboot1.5 ruu if your on hboot1.4. It will save you a headache.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I would reflash the rom before ruuing
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
Nah. Just run the ruu. Make sure your battery is over 85% imo things go a lot smoother.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I really do appreciate the replies, but not sure I am willing to run the RUU and re-root since it is a pretty high likelihood that it is a hardware failure since I went back to completely 100% stock (only rooted) ROM. Torn on getting a replacement and having to deal with the Hboot 1.5 mess just so I can use the face unlock feature in ICS or stick with what I have an no FFC.
I recently installed BlackBean 8 for my HTC Evo 4G LTE. I used Flash Image GUI to flash the Kernel in-rom, then went to recovery, wiped everything 3 times, then installed the rom and Inverted GAPPS. Everything on the rom seems to work perfectly EXCEPT the fact that ANY sound played from the phone plays through the speaker, even when my headphones are plugged in. When I plug them in, I don't even see a headset icon. I reflashed the rom clean again and still the same thing. This doesn't seem to be a common issue, so is anyone else experiencing this or maybe know what's wrong? Help would be much appreciate. I did do a search but didn't find anything this specific.
The only thing I can think of is a hardware issue. Does the same thing happen with other ROMs?

No, it only happened when i switched to this rom. I've run MeanRom, MeanBean, Stock Root, etc. and this is the first time something like this happened. I downloaded the Wired Headset Routing app from the Play Store so I'm now able to toggle the headphone input on and off, which is way better. But I was just wondering if anyone had any input lol
So after many people telling me that the only way to accomplish what I want is to root...I did. For the first time ever, in over 5 years of Android ownership. So will itemize the issues at at hand and ask relevant questions and state what I have done within each one. But first, you should know I rooted using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026938 and I have SuperSU version 1.25, and still running stock ROM and I am S-On.
Issue 1: Wifi tether.
I have downloaded Wifi Tether version 3.2 Beta 2 and I got it to work. The issue is, is there a better performing app or a way to get this one to perform faster? I get about 2mbps on speedtest.net on my phone while the tethered devices get 0.72mbps..I want to get the same on both. Anybody know how?
Issue 2: LTE connectivity.
Many know the LTE connectivity on LTE Evo sucks the big one. So now that I am rooted, what can I do to improve it? Specific ROM? Specific App? custom radio drivers?
Issue 3: Bluetooth
Within my 3 questions here, I am obviously also asking for ROM recommendations, but I have heard certain ROMs break bluetooth and I wanna avoid that at all costs. But the real issue is not the latter. My concern is AVRCP bluetooth profile. I need it to be version 1.3 or higher in order for my phone to send track/album art info to my car's Display Audio/Navigation screen. This is something I have been trying to figure out for years, I posted many threads on this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728786 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702047 and also here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553950
The difference is that back then, I was not willing to root, but now, I'm already rooted.
So shoot me some solutions, and forever change my life! O well respected community of android tinkerers!
Now for issue 3 (bluetooth), if you guys know a way to get this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702047 to work, that would also help me. Here is the OP post quoted
darkleafar said:
So I just recently upgraded from an Evo 3D to the Evo 4g LTE, and the phone is gorgeous and all, but I've lost a major feature and it is scaring the hell out of me, I hope you guys can help:
Intro to my problem:
I have a 2012 Prius V, which has built in Bluetooth and an USB port. My Evo 3D lacked the right level of bluetooth AVRCP profile needed in order to display track names, artwork, etc, on my Prius Nav screen through bluetooth. So to work around that, I would plug in my Evo 3D into the Prius's USB port, then I would select "Disk drive/USB mass storage mode" on the phone and voila! My car saw all my music, complete with track names, album artwork, etc.
My main problem:
All of my music is in my 16GB MicroSD card, so I figured just putting it into my new LTE Evo would suffice...but it didnt. When I plug in my LTE Evo, the "Disk drive/USB mass storage mode" NO LONGER triggers my car detecting it. I noticed a new option, called "Media Sync." Selecting that WILL trigger my car dectecting the phone storage, but it ONLY detects the BUILT IN phone storage, not what's on my MicroSD card.
What's even worse...
Also, if you are wondering, the LTE Evo, despite having Bluetooth 4.0, STILL DOES NOT have the right level of AVRCP needed to display album artwork and track names over bluetooth. I was very, extremely disappointed when I realized this. I ve always been a loyal Anti-Apple/Pro-Windows/pro-Android kinda tech guy, but how come Iphones have been able to do this (track names and album artwork over bluetooth) for several years and this new super phone of ours cannot?
Where I need your help:
How can I make it so that my car can recognize my MicroSD card, not just my phone's storage?
I'm not gonna be forced to stick my music into my phone's built in storage instead of my MicroSD card, am I?
Isnt there any software/firmware or mods/rooting stuff I can do to enable tracknames and album artwork over bluetooth on this phone, since it already has bluetooth 4.0 after all?
Well, thank you very much for your time and I hope y'all have some awesome answers, more than greatly appreciated.

Mean bean fixes only your #1 issue...
1.3 AVCRP Bluetooth profile is not available even on a custom kernel, since meanbean uses stock kernel with elemental X over clock modules, it doesn't have the fix for your issue #3, I've read somewhere else about this feature that even the iphone has but not this phone... Good Luck!

Im running cyanogen mod but my car stereo doesn't have that profile so I can't test for you, plus I haven't been able to drive in a month after a surgery... I remember somebody asking thicklizard about this feature in his arc reactor thread and also in the meanbean thread... Maybe you can pm a kernel developer and see what's involved into getting this feature to work on our phones...

Dude I just rooted for the first time ever. I could not begin to tell you who develops kernels to save my life. But I would have to be S-Off for a custom kernel, right? Anybody with Cyanogen Mod wants to chime in on whether AVRCP 1.3 or higher is present?
Holy crap! A google search answered my own question, they claim AVRCP 1.3 was working on Cyanogen Mod 10.0 but that it broke on 10.1. Link here https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-20
So, can I just flash 10.0 to my phone? what is the difference between 10.0 and 10.1? are they both jellybean builds?
And another thing, the wife was testing the wifi tether on my phone with her I PAD and connection breaks after about 15 minutes. So it looks like it isnt working after all. I just like turns off by itself. Anybody know why this could be?

There is a setting that can be turning it off in the app by itself or it could be the jellybean task killer what rom is she using? And yea you can flash cm 10.0, is jellybean 4.1; cm 10.1 is jellybean 4.2... If you are s-on just remember to extract the boot.img and flash it on fastboot with this command: fastboot flash boot boot.img.
Good Luck!

If after a RUU still doesn't work I suggest you take it to a sprint store, it might be a hardware issue and you will need a replacement, use VipeRuu in the original development thread to get your phone back to stock and to remove the s-off flag... Good Luck!
