[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hani1:
The ear speaker stopped working a few days ago, whenever I make or get a call, no sound whatsoever comes from the phone. I've had the phone for five months, and didn't drop it, so I'm not sure why this occurred. I tried resetting the phone, flashing the RUU, and installed a custom ROM. Nothing worked, so it's most likely a hardware issue. I tried putting the headphones on and off, but it didn't work. The external speaker + headphones are working just fine.

Are there any alternative solutions other than sending it for repair? Also, does anyone know how much would it cost to fix it?

Thanks.

ear speaker not working

Same problem for me, it stated by low volume from the ear speaker during some calls, then i lost the ear speaker sound during the call, even that the ear speaker works with the loudspeaker when i switch to loud, and it gives the sound of the tone while dialing, but no sound in the call. I tried to use other ROMs and radios. but same problem.

Any help please

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
So I finally got my T-Mobile G2 perm-rooted and i'm looking to overclock it. I've been reading around about the process but am a little confused on the whole matter. I see a method that someone posted, but it says that it will revert back to the same clock speed everytime you reboot your phone... id like to have it stay overclocked unless i turn it off.

Also, i'm reading that if i install a "Kernal" that it will stay overclocked after reboot. I'm not quite such what a kernal is and how to use one.

I'm not sure which one to pick... i see statements like "vision_oc-g9ab3677.ko is the correct one to download, but you must rename it to vision_oc.ko in order for it to work."

So there's a "vision_oc-g9ab3677.ko" and a "vision_oc.ko"... but I shouldn't use the "vision_oc.ko"? I sure use the "vision_oc-g9ab3677.ko" and rename it to "vision_oc.ko"?

this whole thing has my head spinning.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noboo:
First of all, did you make a nandroid backup yet? If not, look that up.

You need to look for a specific ROM you want to run (I assume you're 1.34 and don't want to stay there).

That ROM can run different kernels that have the CPU clocked to different speeds. Many ROMs have overclocks as standard btw.

But again, my guess is you don't have a nandroid, so go for that first (basically boot up with volume button down, go to restore, backup. And then you can put a rom and/or kernel on your sd card and use the same boot menu to flash your new stuff). Assuming you have clockwork recovery running!

Good luck
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
As stated above, make sure you make a NANDROID BACKUP before doing anything. That way, in case something goes wrong, or you want to revert to your current setup, you can do so.

Most Custom ROMS will include a custom kernal that will allow you to overclock the phone. Some even have an overclock tool build into them (like CM7). If not, you can download and use SetCpu to control your processor speeds.

Currently, you can overclock all the way up to 1.9ghz. Most kernals top out at 1.5ghz which was been shown to be much more stable.

One thing to remember is that not all processors are created equally. For example, while phone A might handle 1.5ghz just fine, phone B might have some hiccups running at that speed. The only way to find this out is to overclock and see how your phone responds.

The phone is quite fast and zippy even at the stock 800mhz, but overclocking is nice nonetheless. Also, the ability to UNDERCLOCK is nice as well for battery usage. For example, in SetCpu you can set the max clock speed as low as 245mhz for when the screen is off and the phone is not in use...

Hope that helps! Good Luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
thanks for the help guys...

ran into a little prob. I can't seem to get NANDROID to run or make a backup. Don't know much about it, but if i'm reading things correctly I can open ROM Manager and select "reboot into recovery" mode and when it boots back up I select NanDroid.

Only thing is, when I click "reboot into recovery" mode it trys to reboot my phone, but just get's stuck on the HTC logo on the screen and stays there. I had to pull the battery out and put back in to get my phone to boot up again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
Also, when I attempt to use ROM Manager to back up my current ROM it will not work either. I select "Backup Current ROM", then the phone turns off and try's to reboot. It does the exact same thing, just get stuck on the HTC screen and will not boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Did you flash clockwork mod recovery from rom manager? You need that to do any flashing or nandroid back up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
yes, I flashed clockwork mod recovery from the ROM manager before ever trying to use the reboot in recovery function.

I can't even get to recovery area using the volume button boot method either for some reason. I get to the screen with the choices i listed a post of two above.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
Have you 'fixed permissions' in ROM manager? It is down under utilities.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
I read about that on another forum and tried it as well. "fixed permissions" didn't fix the prob, still no luck.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
can i use titanium backup instead since NANDROID wont work?

I'm not sure if "titanium backup" backs up what NanDroid does. I know titanium backup will back up all data and applications. Not sure if it back's up the whole ROM or not.... i'm new to this so i'm not sure what to do or what i'm talking about when it comes to "full back-ups".

Thanks in advance for the help. I'm looking to load CyanogenMOD, but want to make sure to have a good back-up like you guys were say before I try anything out.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
if your recovery is broken, you won't be flashing anything... so that's your first order of business.

within rom manager, click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"... I would do it twice to be safe; in the past, I have had trouble with rom mgr/CWM performing tasks completely the first time around. try rebooting into recovery (either via rom manager or through hboot [pow+vol-down]).

do you have eng-hboot installed? it will say which version of hboot you have when you turn the phone on with pow+vol-down.

edit: would strongly discourage using TiBU for backing up /system. I don't even trust it with restoring /data in its entirity. I prefer manually backing up my data (some settings, but most of them I just re-do) via terminal emulator/adb and then re-installing everything after flashing a new rom. as long as you only back up stuff in /data though, TiBU should be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
I’ve attempted to do the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" multiple times; each time it tells me it's successful. But when I try to reboot into recovery it still does not work. It will not work if I try it trough the rom manager (get’s stuck on the HTC logo and I have to pull the battery out to reboot).

When I try the hboot "(pow+vol-down)" method I come to a screen with 3 droids on skateboards. I'm not sure which version of hboot I have installed, but the screen has the following readings:

VISION PUT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.82.000

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

HBOOT

<VOL UP> to previous item

<VOL DOWN> to next item

<POWER> to select item

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

(Not sure what to select at this point if anything... doesn't look like what was described to me as what the NANDROID should look like, so I just pull the battery out again... I believe I selected the "recovery" option the first time thinking it would get me into NANDROID, but I believe it also froze on the HTC logo again and I had to pull the battery out... but I’m not positive on that, didn’t want to keep guessing and try it again)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
Also, for rooting my G2 I performed the follow guide method:

"[GUIDE] Permanent Root with Visionary/gfree (No ADB Required)"

seen on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928160

I did not perform the "flash the engineering hboot" section of the guide because the posted said this is the point were people brick their phones... he also said it was not needed to install a new recovery and start flashing custom ROMs, so i figured i was good to go.

not sure if this has anything to do with the prob i'm having.

Sorry I havent checked back into this topic earlier...

Your problem is that you are flashing recovery using clockwordmod. This is a known issue on desirez / G2 and has also caused myself some grief before. Do not use that option!

Use the wiki to reinstall recovery using ADB!

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

The only steps you would need are (assuming correctly rooted):

Download clockworkmod recovery and the flash_image and put it in the adb folder.

Open a dos prompt (run -> cmd)

Go to the adb folder

adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

adb push recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img

adb shell

su

(Make sure you have priviliges; #)

# cd /data/local/tmp

# ./flash_image recovery recovery.img

Wait a few seconds

# sync

Now your recovery should work if it took all the steps correctly.

Power down, battery out, go to fastboot. Choose recovery.

Try to do the backups now and never touch clockworkmod flash image again!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
Thanks for the help noboo... I ended up starting another thread since this one went so off topic of the title. I ended up getting some advice to clear the cash inside of ROM Manager and then re installing clockworkmod recovery. It ended up working and I was able to get into recovery and get a custom rom installed. And I was able to overclock it as well.

Thanks again guys.

[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
Hi !

You can not downgrade at all because the install of an older PC10IMG.zip will give you a "main version too old" error.

Normally you solve this by using misc_version to change the main version string in the misc partition.

But to do this you need (temporary) root access.

All published temp-root methods (rage and it's derivatives like visionary, z4root, ... - psneuter - gingerbreak) have been patched in the official T-Mobile G2 Gingerbread release.

So enough background info for now - This firmware version is not rootable and can not be downgraded (for now).

Have fun - Guhl

Of course we will post and update if the situation changes :-)

[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
Wait, you got a rooted version of it installed?

If yes, you can use misc_version to set the main version back to a lower or equal value of the rom you want to install and then install the PC10IMG.zip through hboot.

going from my original droid to the thunderbolt was cool cuz of all the awesomeness the thunderbolt has to offer with lte and htc sense. I love 98% of the things about the phone. ONE major thing bothers me more than anything else. THE KEYBOARD. the stock droid keyboard is ugly and way too plain. i mean, this site is all about custom, why would i want to revert back to that boring gray square thing. and all of the custom ones in the market suck. The htc keyboard is nice in the sense of having the cool shapes and white keys and longpressing for secondary symbols. I like that. But the god damn arrow keys at the bottom piss me off more than anything. i will never be able to re-configure my brain and muscles in my fingers to adjust to the spacebar being a quarter inch up instead of on the botom of the screen and i constantly hit an arrow key instead of space when im going real fast and it just screws up my whole text or whatever im typing. anybody able to modify that on here? or at least have a better alternative?

OH and also the stupid word corrections go over the send BUTTON!!! BULLSH**!! i hate have to either pick a suggestion or save a word into the dictionary. what if i dont want to save that word? i should be able to just hit send like a stock android phone, where the suggestions come up above the keyboard instead of on top of your message... bad move htc.
