Here's my take on this...

Had this problem from pretty much day 1 with the i616 from Fido, it would occur randomly and intermittently (I could go 3 weeks without experiencing it). But about 2-3 weeks ago, it seemed to be stuck like this, switched to my nokia phone, called fido and they sent a replacement. In the meatime looked for something to backup the current phone to transfer everything to the replacement. That ended up being sprite backup.

Got new phone, made some calls it worked fine. Backed up old phone with sprite and restored to new phone. New phone now has same problem. Start uninstalling, no joy, eventually wipe clean, try restoring again, same problem, wipe clean, install a few of my apps, works fine for a few days, then same problem. Uninstall all 3rd party apps except SK Tools Standard, audio works again.

Wipe device install only a few apps, working fine, this morning I install sprite backup and audio goes away, uninstall sprite audio comes back...

Next send message to sprite support as follows, we'll see what they have to say, next step would be to backup, then wipe and only install sprite and see if problem reoccurs or whether it's an interaction with one of the apps below.

Samung Jack SGH-i616 (aka BlackJack II) running windows mobile standard 6.1, call audio stops after installing sprite 6.5.4.8. This consistently happens when installed and problem goes away once uninstalled.

It's a manifestation of this problem

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=439620

The following other software is installed on the device.

Webis Flexmail 4.1 beta (bulld 3317)

Webis Pocket Informant 8.52 beta (build 2339)

(note problem occurs with non beta versions of both apps)

Sk Tools Standard 3.3.3.1

Synthesis SyncML Pro 3.0.2.22

Total Commandder/CE 2.51

The rest are the standard apps that ship with the device in rom.

I didn't use my brain before typing this code. This code effectively hard reset my phone!!! no warnings or anything.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] sibble-comp:
Yeah, it's such a weird flakey thing when and how it happens.

I've on my first replacement phone from Fido, it's happened a few times, but usually taking the battery out resolves it. If that doesn't, generally a hard wipe and restore are the only ways to get it working again.

I've noticed a few other things. Depending what's open in the background when you power off the phone strongly affects this problem. Having flexmail running in the background connected to my IMAP server and/or an Exchange server over activesync will cause this problem EVERY TIME. Although not every time will result in a full wipe, generally the pulling the battery fixes it.

My phone had been running beautifully for the past few weeks until I accidentally powered it off with flexmail running, since then, it's been stuck with no TELEPHONE audio. I say telephone because a SIP VoIP client is able to make and receive calls just fine even though I can't do the same for GSM calls.

So I am back to my Nokia until I get around to wiping and reloading everthing for about the 100th time. :-(
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] davebergeron:
Try this...

Other than accidentally formatting my phone due to entering that code I haven't had to hard reset my phone for a long time. I simply keep rebooting the phone. As long as it takes and trust me sometimes you have to reboot 8-10 times or more. Just keep doing it and the audio will come back. Remove the MicroSD card if you have one as well during the reboots.

A quick way to check if the audio is back is to hold the silent key on the keyboard. If the silent profile activates the audio is back. If holding this key doesn't activate the silent mode then it's still broken and you need to reboot. This is an alternative to calling the VM system to check if it's working.

Cheers,

dave
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] sibble-comp:
That's interesting about the silent key, I'll try that.

Here's another data point. I've had my secondary line/sim card in the phone and the phones been turned off for at least 3 or 4 days and occaisionally plugged in to charge.

I had planned to backup everything, then wipe and reload today. I thought I'll just give it a try and it worked, I turned it off, put my regular sim card in and it stopped working, put back backup sim card and it worked again...

I can't think of any reason the simm card would affect this, but there you have it.

Note the sim card that works fine is a 3g one while the previous one has followed me for years across various NON 3g phones.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] sibble-comp:
Sadly after 20+ reboots, it's still not working with my regular sim card. I've tried doing soft resets via software, hold the power button down until it turns off, clicking the power button and choosing shutdown. But no joy...

Booted with no sim card, and the holding the silent key works again, put in backup sim card and it works, so looks like I need to replace my sim card, any other suggestions?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] sibble-comp:
I just spoke with Fido customer service and they are going to credit me for a new sim card which I'll get today and see it that fixes the problem....
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] sibble-comp:
I give up, now the 3g sim card in the jack doesn't work anymore.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] djbon2112:
OP, please POST A WARNING about that code! I just hard reset my phone without wanting to! It would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone else know of a different resolution for this? It suddenly happened to me today (again) but I hadn't installed the SDA Unlocker or anything!

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] monsey:
I got my Jack about 2 months ago, as soon as I got it home I installed 6.1. in the first couple days I installed viigo, google maps, and microsoft live search.. I also had setup my imap email... after a month I installed the Microsoft MyPhone... 3 days after, no sound... I had to do a hard reset to get it back.. afterwards I installed just MyPhone again and re-synced my phone, 2 days later.. it happened again. I proceeded to a hard reset, installed MyPhone and re-synced, then uninstalled MyPhone... 2-3 weeks went by, I thought I had it licked, but 2 days in a row now it happened again... with no extra apps.

One continuous problem I had with this phone, not sure if I have this in common with the rest of you, is that I work in a fringe area where I continuously loose service.. 1 bar at best. And every second day I have to power down the phone and back on to get a data connection again. Just curious if the rest of you are often in low service areas... just thinking this might be a possible cause of the 'no sound' issue.

Today my phone took a beating as it flew across my vehical when I couldnt answer a call as a result of no sound.... so I hope to find a resolution before my phone meets pavement...

I can not believe that Samsung will not make WM6.0 available to downgrade until this problem can be resolved.

Personally, this is the last Samsung device I will buy!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Rick76:
Well, after many hours of screwing around and trying to determine the cause of the "lost sound" issue, I am going to go out on a limb here. I do not think it has anything to do with hardware, SIM cards, key presses, settings or installed software (at least as it may relate to a particular installed program). Rather, if you install a new program and it needs to reboot your phone to complete the installation, then yes.

The process of elimintation and logical thinking dictate that it is an OS bug. Something in WM6.1 is not consistent in loading during start-up. And, as many users have not reported this problem, I am also going to guess that it has something to do with the carrier customization software interacting with WM6.1 at start-up.

If it was strictly a bug within WM6.1, I would think that we would be seeing more reports from users of other devices and carriers as well.

Rogers/Fido...the ball is in your court. I know this means nothing and even worse, absolutely nothing will get resolved, but whatever happened to "doing the right thing"?

Big business blows!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] cjean:
Same here

Hi Rick,

Just to let you know that you are not alone in this case. I totally endorse your statements. I'm at my second phone and same thing, don't know what to do. I sent emails to Samsung and no go.

We are not alone, here's another forum that discuss that!

http://www.myblackjack2.com/forum/trouble_shooting/no-audio-heard-during-calls/

Strange, the SGH-i617 don't have that issue so like you said, it's probably Rogers implementation.:mad:

Regards,

Charles
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] sibble-comp:
Actually there are other people with other carriers experiencing this, see this thread

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] nosound_bj2:
Registry

I've lost some time on this issue and here's what I've found by diffing registry before and after this issue happened:

These values are AFTER a hard reset, (BEFORE - there was no sound during calls):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume

Volume = 1717986918 0x66666666 (was 0)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\MITsMan

MITs_HomeScreenReady = 0 (was 1)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Keypad

BKLState = 2 (was 0)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery

BKLState = 2 (was 0)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\UFN

Suspend = 0 (was 1)

The way I tested:

Installed .NetCF 3.5 and rebooted - in my case it's enough to get the issue.

Also noticed that uninstalling an aplication (or all) sometimes repairs the phone without having to do a hard reset!

Platform: Fido, i616

Setting these keys to these values won't solve anything... (There should be some software reconfiguring the drivers somehow - probably reseting the phone transceiver and get the UFN out of the suspended state (?).)

Thanks
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ChrisP_BJ2:
Fix available

I think I've solved this! It wasn't the registry, it was the mitsman.exe service! (i can't remember the pass or mail to nosound_bj2 user so I've created this new one)

http://cid-ebfabf4eb79cb440.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/FixSoundInCalls.CAB

The package cannot be installed on “Storage Card” so please select “Device”.

In detail:

All that the application does is start mitsman.exe if it's not already running (too many mitsman.exe running and the phone will become unstable).

I have created a link that will also execute the program at startup (the program will just start the service and terminate almost immediately, not occupying any RAM). You can manually execute it whenever you loose sound, using a Start Menu shortcut.

Removal is made through Settings | Remove Programs | ChrisP Fix Sound In Calls.

I don't have my phone unlocked so please tell me if this works for that case as well...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] briggs81:
So how are you guys using GPS if you can't use SDA App unlocker? Or are you still using it, then utilizing the cab above to get sound back?

Thanks ChrisP!

Your program worked like a charm. I have not had this problem come back since I installed it over a month ago. Thanks again!

ChrisP, you are a genious! A lot of people were having this problem. I've been getting the "no call audio" bug on my i617 on and off since I got it. Today I've been rebooting for the last hour, until I found this thread.

Seems to have fixed the problem for good!

[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] zpunout:
I just finished reading this review on the Galaxy S21 FE and noticed it doesn't have a headphone jack. I'm okay with that as long as the USB-C port supports analog audio output to cheapo USB-C earphones.

So my question: Is analog audio output via USB-C supported? Or is this device like a Pixel phone and requires more expensive earphones with a DAC chip built into them?

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Review: Good phone, wrong price

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a great smartphone, but you should not buy it at full price. Click to read our full review.

www.xda-developers.com
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] blackhawk:
Only digital. The dongle has to have a DAC in it or whatever audio device you are connecting it to. The Samsung one works fine except it's hanging from the bottom of the phone... not good.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] zpunout:
Thanks. Yeah, that's a deal breaker. I really like using cheapo earphones at work, whether they be 3.5mm jack or USB-C (analog). Having DAC outside the phone is cumbersome and Bluetooth earphones are too much fuss.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] blackhawk:
The Buds+ sound better or as good as cheap earbuds or phones. They're light, don't come out and have a long run time.

Not perfect but pretty good... Samsung should have kept the 3.5 jack.

Dropping the SD card slot in their recent flagship phones lost them my purchase. Got another new Note 10+ instead.

In 2-3 years if they continue to chase Apple... they are dead to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
I agree. This whole 3.5 jack non-issue is proving to be the most frustrating "progress" that manufacturers have made. Let's not forget that at first, the sole reason that Apple did this was because the jack "did not fit". Apparently all other manufacturers realized the same thing although they have no problem in making phones bigger than 6.7 inches. Nowadays it's just an excuse to sell expensive gear to people and these wireless buds do not solve the problem. I have perfectly good headphones that do not require charging and that do not fall out of my ears but I cannot listen to them no matter what I do. Dongles are crap quality with background noise and there's nothing you can do about it. It's funny but a few years ago, you actually felt that phones were capable of doing everything but now... not so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] zpunout:
I totally get why the removal of a space consuming century old standard 3.5mm jack happened, but why the removal of internal DAC for analog audio out via USB-C? I like to have earplugs which can dangle from my shirt while I'm not talking on my phone. I used Bluetooth for a while but they got neglected because I always forgot to take them out of my toolbag and charge them. Also, they couldn't dangle from my shirt because of the no wires thing. How much extra does it cost to manufacture a phone with internal DAC via USB-C?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
I have no idea honestly. Whenever I try to think of a logical answer, it always boils down to marketing and reducing costs of manufacturing while also making more money from accessories. They are trying so hard to push these wireless buds to customers that they would do anything so that we spend more money on them or on the accessories for wired headphones. Just look at the S21 FE, the pre-order came with buds included. The new P50 PRO from Huawei, also pushed the wireless earphones with it's offer. And people still hate these dang things but somehow they don't care. At this rate I'm going back to physical mp3's :))

Torn between S21+ and Note 10+. Watched Youtube videos and found nearly all the videos and the follow-up comments were one-sided: Note 10+ is better than S21+. Considering Note 10+ was 1.5 years older than S21+, it's hard to believe that note 10+ is really better than S21+. S21+ is now on sale plus the trade-in program with the T-mobile promotion. Which one is worth buying note 10+ or S21+? Thank you for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] blackhawk:
You can still get a new N975U for $800 running on Q. I have two now, the other is a N975U1 running on Pie. In spite of being almost 2.5 years old my original one looks and runs like new. One battery replacement was the only repair. The display is still perfect. Current load will be 2 years old in June, still fast and stable.

SOT is 7-13%@hr, 7%@hr for Brave browser more for streaming vids.

The deal breaker against the S21+ are:

•No SD card* slot, I use a .5tb V30 Sandisk extreme soon the be upgraded to 1tb.

•The S21 and all variable rate displays have slightly poorer color rendering and numerous display issues of all sorts. The N10+ display has an excellent track record and it's gorgeous with square corners. Perfect for vids.

•The N10+ comes loaded with Q, no forced encryption and scoped storage isn't fully active, older apps run fine on it like WPS Office.

•The N10+ has a native spen for bt remote shutter release and the very useful Smart Capture tool.

•The N10+ is 7mm thick so even when well protected in a Zizo Bolt case it's not very thick and easy to hold and use.

•5G not needed as my cheap unlimited data plan is 4G. 4G uses less battery which is important to me.

•Cams are pretty damn good on the N10+, laser focus be nice but not high on the list. The better color rendering of the N19+ display outweigh the slightly better cams of newer models.

•Build quality of the N10+ is excellent, battle tested. All buttons, the spen still work like new.

Beyond all that the N10+ is a fun, snappy phone to use even after over 2 years. With 12gb of ram you just don't run out, nominal usage is 4.9-5.2gb on Pie.

The new one was $800, I didn't blink at the price as I know what I was getting. Both will likely never be upgraded to 11 or 12, security isn't an issue for Pie and up. Both can be upgraded to 12 if you wish but likely not 13.

The other phone I considered was the N20U but the 10+ won out. I'm having an excellent user experience with the beast, so I got a backup🤣

*I use the SD card as a data drive, all critical data goes there including full backups (within the limits of a stock Android). I can do a full reload with no internet connection or PC, anywhere.

Moreover I carry my entire CD/HDCD collection in my pocket as wav files. A fast dual drive 1+tb PC in your pocket is magnificent.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] pzz123:
Thank you Blackhawk! How is the camera on note 10+ compared with S21+? On eBay, I saw "brand new" note 10+ for less than $500.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

Well I never shot with the S21+ so for all I know it's AF gets lock ons instantly. The 10+'s shutter release could be faster but nothing to compare to except pro cams I shoot with🤣

Still pics, vids are good, action shots not... unless you use burst mode which is easy to do by simply holding the release.

Using the spen as a remote shutter release is great though. Below is one from 10 feet out... not even trying to make it nice.

Be very careful with vendors. Best to talk with them first on the phone. Many are misrepresenting what they are selling. The Snapdragon variant you want is the N975U, it interfaces with AT&T just by putting in the sim card. Assuming you're using AT&T; get the correct variant for your provider. Make sure it has 12gb of ram. Used ones will likely be reflashed to Android 11. You want to keep display brightness at 50% or lower; did the previous owner? AMOLED displays have a finite lifespan; the brightest stars burn out first.

Factory sealed, two day free delivery. I like this seller, not super cheap but top shelf phones, zero issues and he answers his phone. I did a lot of searching...

Personally I think the S21+ is a dog.

In my opinion the Note20U be your next best choice but I dismissed it in part because of potential reliability issues with the display, the display color rendering is less than the 10, and they are shipped with Android 11. The 5G modem will likely eat battery and it's form factor sucks. You may feel differently and as of today it is the last Note. Faster memory/cpu/spen, excellent cam (and hump🥴) and variable refresh rate display. Be very careful if you buy one, a lot of scamming going on with this model worse than what I saw with the N10... it's bad.

Make sure it has 12gb of ram and is the unlocked factory model.

Got a headache yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] pzz123:
Awesome! Thanks. I am now seriously thinking about getting a note 10+ instead of s21+. Appreciate your help!
