Subject: No sounds, but phone rings
From: Alex

Something strange has happened to my xda!
I am getting no sound thru the speaker, unless the phone is
ringing, when I hear the ringtone fine. If I play my ringtone
thru the settings menu, I get nothing.
I get no other sounds thru the speaker. If the headset is
connected, the sound (through the earphones) is fine.
Also in phone mode, pressing the green call button for
speakerphone mode results in nothing, no icon, nothing.
It's as though it's stuck in headset mode, but that doesn't
explain why I can hear the phone ringing. I've tried flicking
the jack in and out of the socket but that did nothing!
I have tried a soft reset to no avail, and am thinking now of a
hard reset after I've sync'd up. Thjis is such a hassle
reinstalling everything, so I'm not that keen on this course of
action.
I did try O2 support but they only suggested a few basic things
(like the volume setting!) before pronouncing it a faulty
handset. I'm not convinced as they didn't even suggest a reset
and I can't face going back to the shop for a replacement.
Any help much appreciated.

Tried the hard reset - no joy.
Looks like it's back to the shop.
Why today? Two day holiday in front of me, and probably no toy
to play with! boo hoo.

The contact of your earphone socket got a little problem.
Please try to quickly insert/remove the earphone several times,
then it should be solved.
If not, return your device to the service point. :)

Back to the shop it went - I now have a brand new handset that I
dropped this morning when getting into the lift at work. There
was I thinking it's all brand new, no more scratches on the
case, I'll look after this one.
I now have a bloody great ding on the bottom of the case where
the stone floor took its toll. Never mind!
Happy New Year,
Alex.
