XDA IIi - no sound when syncronized

[thuwailib]

Hi Guys,
I'm a newbie with XDA IIi, just use it less than 1 month. I have a problem when I syncronize the device to the computer; there is no sound when I answer the call. The mobile is rings, but when I answer I did'nt find any sound from the caller. The device connected by USB Cable/Charger not by Cradle.

Note, that I have updated the ROM with PUG's ROM (Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed - thanks to PUG), but the problem is still done.

Thanks for help

Sounds like a hardware problem...

If you just got the unit brand new and just replaced with a different ROM, I'm not sure if the warranty is voided.

But if it isn't, you can have it replaced or repaired from where you bought it from.

Thanks for reply. It's not a brand new, but the used one, I bought it without cradle and original charger, so must use the USB cable data for syncronizing and charging. Do you think it will be solved if I use the original cradle?

Basing on your first post, I don't think it will be solved just by using an original cradle.

Does your phone still work if it's not connected (USB/charger connected)?

If it does still work it might be software based. You could try returning the original ROM.

If it still does not work, it maybe hardware failure.

I've encountered the same problem many times. I use the USB cable and the docking port. I thought it was a usual issue, so I just unplug the cable before answering any calls.

I've same problem here, but not with my original dock, but only happen if i connect my PDA to PC using USB cable (I bought it seperatly). But if i connect using original craddle it have no problems at all.

Hi, Im having the same issue. Using the original ROM I didnt have this problem. But after upgrading using Deathnoise's ROM the sound no longer works when the USB cable is in. This a major pain, can anyone think what changes made in the updated ROM could have caused this?

Hi

Using an original O2 XDAIIi and an aftermarket USB Sync/charge cable i have no sound when connected, trifle annoying as i am using it to sync a third party mail application and don't get any audible notification. Don't have the cradle to hand to test with so can't pass any comment if that works or not.

The only upgrade was the official ROM upgrade from O2.

It's likely to be the connections on the plug end itself. See this thread I found on the subject, http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-245857.html, and this one for the connections. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=Connectors.
I had the same problem, I cut both loop wires that go from pin 2, to pins 5 & 18 (on mine, the only two that looped back) and everything worked fine after that.

I have the same problem and I work around by sliding the volume button up and down after I remove the phone from the cradle and before answering the call. It is an annoying bug but I get use to it after a while. Now it is my habit to slide the volume button up and down every time I remove the phone from the cradle.
