PLEASE HELP! No sound with phone - mic and spkr don't work!!

---

I posted this over at PPCPassion too, and someone suggested I try here...just really looking for help. Here's what happened. I woke up, and my phone (TMo XDA with PPCTechs 64MB upgrade, 128SD card), which had been left on all night, doesn't work as follows:

-When I dial a call, I can't hear the other phone ringing through the speaker...and when the person answers, I can't hear them...nor can they hear me. The phone indicates 'Dialing' and then the duration time starts when they answer

-When I get a call, my phone rings, but when I answer, same as above, they can't hear me and I don't hear them

-But the speaker and mic DO work...I tested this using a voice memo.

-Also, same symptoms whether using spkr phone on or off

Any thoughts on this? It 'fixed itself' yesterday after I performed a back up (I was going to do a hard reset/restore). THen today same problem. Did the backup just to see if somehow that solved it, but this time it's not working. Before I do the hard reset I want to see if anyone else has any thoughts.

I really dont want to have to send this to TMo since my unit has 64MB from the upgrade...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. FWIW I'm not a developer so if you recommend technical things please explain them thoroughly :0

And THANK YOU in advance!

Had the same thing happen to me. Thought of hardware failure at first, tried similar things and came to similar conclusions. Tried SD Backup, then hard reset. Not solved. Înteresting that during backup one dll file seemed to be stuck (think it was a dll, although dont remember name).

In my case solved itself when I remapped the RECORD action to the left button. Very strange......

Any permanent solution or reason would be welcome....

How did you go - the symptoms are the same as dropping pin 19 to ground (for a car kit), you lose speaker and built in mic so make sure 19 isn,t shorting with 18, Steve

Speaker & Microphone not working

I encounterd the same problem - from one day to the other mic and speaker stopped working. When I connect power to the device using a USB sync cable mic and speaker are turned on again. It really seems that the XDA is set into car mode. :?

Assuming that pins 18/19 were shorted, I have cleaned the connector but this didn't help. :cry:

There's another thing which has happened to people: it appears the connector for the headphones isn't all that sturdy, so after a while the device thinks the connector always stays in. Not sure that would explain this behaviour, but just thought I'd mention it.

Same problem happened to me... help

How do you solve this problem? I have tried to plug and unplug the headset and did a reset... still the only thing that comes out of the speaker is the ring. The only want I can use the phone or hear anything is to use the hands free... Please help.

Fortunately, my device was still under warranty. I had to return it to O2.

Headphone Mode?

Hi
My Qtek seems to be similarly stuck in the headphone mode. Any idea how to get out of it? Would removing the headphone socket entirely help?
