Can't hear conversation unless it's on speakerphone

[lilcam]

So, my phone stopped working a few days ago. I've been running WM6 for quite some time now and I've even tried going back to Tmobile's ROM. Basically, when I receive/make a phone call, I can ONLY hear the person if I put them on speaker. They can hear me regardless, but I can't hear them. Pretty annoying.

Any ideas?

Heh! Quite a coincidence!!! I cannot hear anything from the headset either and it happened a short while after I upgraded to XDA6. It work fine with the stereo headset as well as with a BT one. The difference in my case is that I cannot switch to speakerphone. The phone is deaf without a hands-free device.

I have posted a separate thread on my problem - here it is (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336527)

i have the same problem. phone is dead without a handsfree:( it happened to me last night all was good, i was listening to music to handsfree and removed them to make a call and it didnt work anymore..i reinstalled the rom, but no sound..any help anyone?

maybe the phone is stuck on handsfree..it things that the handsfree is plugged in or something?

problem solved:) trustworthy, i've put the jack in and out a few times..and now the sound works:) there is a switch that is pressed when you plug in the jack and maybe it got stuck on handsfree..try pressing it a few times..i don't know. now my phone works. i'll never plug in a handsfree again:)

I had the same problem--it was still under warranty...new MDA was the solution.
By the time it goes again I hope the next generation will be here!

I have the same problem as lilcam, the earspeaker is dead. I had the same problem once, and the service chage the speaker, first and the ringer, later and stars working just fine. Now, the silent speaker hits again and service says is not the same problem and they cant repar it. Does anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the hint, but I REPLACED the handfree jack and it still wouldn't work without the headset :(

The people, who got it serviced told me that there was a problem with the mmainboard, that they cannot deal with. As I've mentioned in my thread, they also told me that a faulty handsfree jack was a frequently occurring problem with the 9100. I would recommend to pdebeitia and Sisqo to try replacing the jack. Hopefully it might help...it did not work for me though...

BTW, pdebeitia and Sisqo, what ROM are your MDA's running or were runnig at the time when it happened?
