Occasionally speaker becomes silent after upgrading to WM6

[john.smith]

First of all thanks all the people who made WM6 possible in Prophet.

I have tried a few ROMs, including Gullum VIII and right now ShadoW 2.0 ( My Edition ). Two are very good ROMs except that

Occasionally the speaker does not make any sound at all. No rings when calling in, nor in any application that is supposed to make noise.

Don't get me wrong, the speaker itself is actually working well. This muted problem goes away as soon as I make a soft-reset, the only problem, however, is I just don't know when it will become muted again.

I have never used a headphone so it's not about the phone jack issue. And because the problem can be corrected by a soft reset, it appears to be ROM related (which I have not had with Windows Mobile 5).

I am using Radio ROM 2.69, not sure if it caused the problem.

Please advise for any possible solutions. Thanks in avdance!

try all the possible solutions for sound not heard via speakers eg jack issue or paper trick to isolate it's not/is a speaker problem. had similar problems & it turned out my speakers were the problem, replacing it did the trick.

Is the same problem ?

Because i got this with any ROM WM6 WM6.1

Thanks for your reply. But no, it's not the hardware issue since all I needed was a soft reset to resolve the issue every time it pops up.

and yes it seems to match the symptoms described here:

I'm having the same problem. Sometimes this problem can be solved by just reselect your ring tone (Settings --> Sounds & Notifications --> Notifications Tab --> Phone : Incoming call --> reselect your ring tone and OK). If this method doesn't solve the problem you need to do a soft reset.

Hope this help.

I'm having too.
I notice this expecially when I select the keypad tones (short or long).
Now I leave it off and I'm not encountring this anymore...
