Hi everybody,
I have this one problem. After 2 days of usage, my Hermes suddenly went mute. No vibration or screen click can be heard even If I changed it to the loudest. I missed a lot of calls and sms due to this problem. The only way to solve this problem that I employ is by soft-reset my device.
I really hope somebody can help me tracking to root-cause of this problem and in the same time providing or proposing a solution to it.
Kindly help. Regards

did you unmute it from the speaker icon ?
if you have a backup restore it if not do a hard reset just make sure you backup your contacts/ stuff first
Phone goes mute
I think I'm having that problem too. Just out of the blue it happened. Didn't install anything extra the whole week. But when someone calls it rings, and if it's missed, it doens't play the miss call tone... or any other sound in that case.

Hi,
I noticed that the problem started to happen when I long-press the "Green" Button to activate the speakerphone during a call instead of pressing the "Speaker On" menu on the screen.
I've no idea why but maybe that could be the problem. Presently, I have to press that "Speaker On" on-screen menu to activate the speakerphone to avoid this problem.
Maybe other users can confirm this problem.

Got the same issue here and I don't use speakerphone
my pda´s auto mute so
No sound although speaker icon no in mute
I have the same problem. Out of the blue no sound is heard at all. I tried changing volume but it did not do any thing. Had to shut down (not soft reset) and restart device and it works fine. This happen several times and I can figure out why it does this.
If anyone can help...

Same here, I'm using a X01HT Softbank variant TYTN flashed with the latest HTC WWE rom and after about like 12 hours of use the device goes mute for some reason, making calls it works perfectly but playing sounds or ringers the speaker does not work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking of maybe re flashing the device since most of my information is on my storage card. I'll see if that fixes the problem :-\.
same problem here....
Same here. Only a reboot fixes it.
I have the same problem but it only happens when using the speaker phone. After the call ends, then there are no more system sounds etc. I then have to soft reset, which pisses me off as I use the speaker phone plenty in the car.
If i dont use the speakerphone, then there is no problem. Kind of strange....
Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?
I have same problem. I thought it was software related, but seems that it is caused by the speaker phone. I had the exact same problem with my old IPAQ 6515. It must be a software issue with WM although the 6515 had WM2003SE and the TYTN has WM5 so I do not know. Really annoying though as I use this phone for an alarm and it never goes off because the sound turns off sometime while I am sleeping - Uhggggg!
I also have the problem. Only a Softreset brings the speaker back to live.
my new problem...misery loves company
same here; curiously 2 pages into this thread and there are no real solutions.
I have solved the problem on my TyTN.
The Midlet Manager is the root cause for the Phone Mute issue on my device.
lol I just started getting this issue out of the blue after a couple of months and I didn't install anything :|
yeah nothing but a soft reset brings the sound back
Happens to me too. Strange coincidence - I've just checked my m3100 and it's giving me the silent treatment now. Time for another soft reset
I never use Midlets, so that rules the above theory out for me. However my battery was almost dead. I was using WiFi at the time, which turned itself off when the warning notifications popped up. Maybe when the battery drops below an acceptable level it turns the sound off to save power, but doesn't restore it after charging?
nope it happens to me even if my battery is fully charged
this used to happen on my i-mate PDA2k, and my JasJar (Universal) running both WM5, AKU3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and unfortunately even WM6 :S
Hi All,
After checking and testing the phone. I found out that the only way for me to solve the muting problem is by silencing the notification sound when a new email arrives. Since I have an unlimited EDGE/GPRS, my push mail is working around the clock. Thus, by not having the new email sound notify, the muting problem gone. This is caused by the notification event locking up the sound and not releasing it even after I read the mail. Previously the only way to resolve is by soft-reset but now, no more.
I have no idea whether this work or not for others but you might try and post your solution here.

Anyone has the same problem???
When calling someone whos already on the phone, I get the usual busy tone - but on the Vario II's speaker (loud) (like it turns the speaker on automatically,... weird) Its annoying if I want to make a quite call at the office!
Yep, I get that as well! Effin' annoying it is as well when you've got the unit to your ear
I had this same issue once. I am using a HTC branded TyTN. My normal network is Cingular in the US, and I do not get this issue when using my Cingular SIM. I was recently in Singapore using a SingTel SIM, and the busy tone would come out the speaker. When I switched to a M1 SIM (also in Singapore, blasted SingTel does not allow data on prepaid!), I did not have the problem anymore. I also did not have this when using SMART prepaid in Manila or when using DTAC prepaid in Thailand. Also, I was using the stock TyTN ROM at the time. I have since switched to 1.35, but I have not had a chance to travel yet to see if the new ROM fixes the issue.
Same here. Really annoying.
Any solutions, guys?
Here is a fix, HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Sounds/BusyTone and change the wavfile for a quieter one, I use the busytone.wav file which i think gets installed withe skype ( i am not quite sure where it is originally from, just found it in my windows directory).
Or you can just remove the letters from the 'script' entry there - as I posted earlier today, which will disable it completely.
I don't know if this has been asked/answered but when i dial a phone number using the keypad the sound of the keys goes through the external speaker on the phone- is there a reg edit to make dialing key sounds go through the earpiece and not the speaker?
Thanks
I have the busy tone problem with my O2 trion. I use the workaround of nathanlock and it works great. I also contacted HTC about the problem. They claim that they have never heard about it.
touch tones and busy tone really loud
I have the same issue. i'd really like to fix both. the busy tone is extremely loud, and the dialing tones let everyone in a 10 cubicle radius know you are making a call. I have a love hate relationship with my 8525. love the things it can do, hate the things it sometimes does....
found some sound keys for the dial buttons in the registry, but nothing that looks like volume settings for them.
I have the same issue! it was really anoying... not anymore
tone problem
Nero would you like to explain how you solved the problem
I'm also having the problem with the tones coming out of the speaker when dialling. Additionally when i push the red/orange phone button the phone makes a high pitched sounds from the speaker.
I really dont remember either of these problems a couple weeks ago when I finished properly flashing it. Some one mentioned skype. I did recently install that.
Same here. Strange problem.
workaround update: change "Script" value to "ap" for tone to play only once, and change "Sound" value to "busytone.wav" (comes in rom, at least for HTC TyTN) - it's not loud at all.
Keypad sound issue
I only have the keypad issue. I have looked around but have not been able to find a solution. I would like to have the sound from the keypad in the earphone not on the speaker.
Is this the way the tytn is setup or is it just the group here that has the issue?
Can your "Busy Tone" fix also fix the keypad speaker problem?
Softbank X01HT
HTC Hermes 200 - IPL 1.01 / SPL 1.40.Oli / ROM 3.24.0.4 / GSM 1.40.30.00 (WM6 LVSW Edition 2007/04/08) + Wifi update
I've solved the keypad issue by selecting "Off" in the Keypad combo box at the end of the Phone Setting Page.
I hope it helps.
Cheers
/Joseph
I not really sure where you set this option, keypad combo?
It may be me, but can you be more specific, please?
The option I've found is under Settings-> Phone
You may see three Combo lists: Ring type, Ring Tone and Keypad
For the Keypad you can have "Long Tones", "Short Tones" and "Off".
If you take the last one you won't hear anything when you press use the keypad for making a call.

Great got it, Thanks! How blind am I?
Solution to busy tone problem
I had the same problem regarding the busy tone going through the speaker. I also had the added aggravation that, after each time that problem happened, my calls would divert straight to voicemail until I soft reset.
Another problem I used to have was that if I had call waiting and tried to answer the waiting call, the phone would freeze and I would have to soft reset with the stylus.
I was using an SPV M3100 with the original Orange UK ROM in Spain, with a Vodafone Spain SIM.
I believe these are simply bugs in the early radio roms. They show up with unpredictable combinations of roaming or using different sims than those of the original ROM operator's.
I fixed both problems by upgrading my radio.
Hope that helps.
I've been noticing the following strange behavior:
Sometimes the in-call volume is just too loud. Even on the minimum volume setting someone standing a couple of meters away from you will still perfectly hear the conversation. This only happens when receiving a call, never (as far as I can tell) when making one.
If during the call I switch on and then off the speaker, then the volume goes back to what it should be.
Has anyone noticed this before? Workarounds?
Yes, I've noticed this.
Always does it when it has been connected to a headset.
I seem to remember it went away when I installed the Modoco rom...
Mine still does it with the Modaco rom
@squirreleater: Thanks for your reply. It is just as you say
@both: Do you know if the latest HTC firmware fixes this issue? I know, I know, but I can't find the time these days to upgrade and find for myself
I`m on the latest MCR and it still does it. Its really P*****G me off now. I hate to take a call because of it.. Surely more people than us 3 are seeing this?
Yup, same thing for me although I've never noticed a difference between receiving and making calls (will watch out for that now). Quietest setting is still ridiculously loud. I'm on MCR 2.6 but have noticed on other roms as well.
I've noticed this too, but seems as though when I press volume up, it starts working again and allows me to lower the volume.
I can confirm that your workaround is just fine. Thanks.
So if i press volume up then down it will go quieter?
I will try this next call i get...
I am getting this same problem ... thanks for the tip I will try it.
I just noticed this. but after having my hero for like over a month. Could have appeared when i installed like 3 games yesterday but cant see why games would cause that to happen. but yea the workaround of increasing then decreasing the volume works. and it only happens when i receive the call. strange...
Ever since I purchased my HD2 (Telstra) in February, I have had a problem where the ring volume intermittently switches off and I cannot hear incoming calls. At some stage after with no attempted fix, another call comes through and the phone rings fine at the volume I have set. The problem doesn't seem to be attached to certain callers, it seems to do it at times no matter who calls.
The phone actually rings (albiet silently) when the problem occurs as I see the phone go to the incoming caller screen, but there is no ring volume. When I check the volume of the ring tone on the phone after the call it is still set to a bit under half way.
I have the original Telstra ROM installed. haven't tried the new one yet.
Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution? I don't want to go to all of the effort to reinstall everything just to find out that the problem still occurs.
Thanks.
Same here!
I have the US version but have had this issue with both the stock US rom as well as the offical update they just posted.
A soft reset fixes it, but its totally random and is a major pain in the ass.
Any tips? Please help!
i have the same exact problem with my leo.
does someone have a resolution for this?
Me too!
Glad to know it's not just my HD2 that has this issue. I run the UK stock ROM and have suffered with this since I first got the phone! Most of the time it's fine, just every now and again goes quiet and I miss a call... I have even had the ringtone start loud, and then fade out. Would love to know if there is a fix for this......
Hi boys,
i've a similar issue with my Acer S200 with Manila ROM (OS version 5.2.23123, Manila version 2.5.20153712.0).
In a randomic way, suddenly the ringtone volume goes zero. I have usually ringtone+vibration, and vibration disappear too, together with ringtone....!
So with a new call, i can see the "incoming call" sceen but no sound and no vibration alert me...
With a soft reset i can solve, but i cannot understand what is the condition that triggers this problem....

Erm.. try this
Settings > Sound & Display > look for "Single Volume" and turn it OFF.
whenever I press the volume key it has the option to switch between System & Ring Volume Level.
Hope it helps!
nothing helped.. performed a hard reset, now the problem is gone
No ring volume
try this: HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay --> Set "Default Page" to 0
It works on my T-Mobile hd2

.mp3 extention causes the problem.
try .wma format, it should solve the problem
best solition
What is the best solution for this problem?? Change the REG Key or. Change .mp3 to .wma???
OK, everybody is claiming that low in call volume is fixed after 3/8 kernel, but try this: dial a number by keypad (with dial pad tones enabled) and make a call. listen to the volume level. Then disable dial pad tones and call again. there should be a huge difference in volume level. You can experiment the same thing by quickly enabling and disabling speakerphone while in a call. I guess the problem is, when a sound is played back (like a ringtone or dialpad tone) in call volume is reduced for a short time. This can be eliminated for outgoing calls by disabling dial pad tone or waiting 2 seconds before pressing call. But for incoming calls, even disabling ringtone is no good. I also tried LVH v3.6 to boost the in call volume but no good. I tried almost all builds, ROM and radio combinations. With the new kernels, all have this problem. The most important function for me is the phone part, anyone has a solution for this?
Did you really need to make a new thread for this? Couldn't this been posted in one of the -post your questions here- topic?
Fix: No, there's no obvious fix (yet). Best fix is to use the supplied (or custom) ear-piece. Never any problem with that.
I felt the need to make a new thread as the old threads were referring to old kernels and most people tend to read only the first post. I wanted to present my observations, which I believe are not stated before, in the original post. Sorry for bothering you and thanks for the info.

I understand why you'd want to open a new thread for this, but this topic will just as much go down under as soon as it's solved or (more not-so-useless) threads get added later on.
Your observations + results could be stickied/hotlinked in the answer topic if they seem to be right-on the money. That way we keep it all nice and tidy, ánd more people would find a quick answer
I have the same exact problem. I hope there is a fix for this soon. Searched multiple times, but haven't found any answer.
I notice when you pick up an incoming call. The volume starts from soft and goes a little louder after about 2-3 seconds.
hi im also suffering from a low in call volume as well with my HD2 has there been any way to resolve this?
iam facing low rington and media volume , i can hardly hear my ringtone when on other room
I disagree with maseo I found this thread useful,
THANKS DUDE
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
hey, try this
when u wait for the other side to pick up the phone or u pressed the answer button when a call comes in
press on the Speaker button to use the speaker phone, then turn it off
repeat it again once
your volume will get lounder just like in WM.
Edit: oops. it was just a hardware failure, the front speaker had bad connection, there are another speaker in the chassis that worked.
thanks
i press the speaker on & off and then is more louder. i wish this will be fix soon.
IT WORKS!!
Hey, so I was/am having this problem but i tried the mute/unmute during a call and it worked. Incoming and outgoing. Only problem is seems to be low every new phone call. So i have to do the mute/unmute at the beginning of each call for it to be ok!
Hopefully there is a permanent fix soon?
Thanks for the post.
I have this same problem. I read somewhere someone having a fix on this.
One more thing, any of you guys had the robo-voice?
Got the same issue. Still no fix out there?
