FC09 broke my phone :(

**doz** · 05-12-2012, 11:05 PM

So, got the FC09 push the other day, was on a rooted rom so it failed. Rebooted, everything seemed fine, took me about a day to realize that my earpiece doesn't work when making phone calls now. Odd too, I don't even get the option to put it on speakerphone or bluetooth anymore. Full reflash back to stock everything and it still has the same issues. I find it too coincidental that it could have broken on its own, so I'll put it out here for suggestions. Already took it to one Sprint store, they didn't have a repair on site but tried meddling with it for a while and didn't get anywhere. Anyone know what I can do?

PS I'd really like to sort this out so I can get off the POS WP HTC Arrive I have to use in the meantime.

If you Odin'ed back to stock then that should of undone anything and restored your earpiece. Sounds like by coincidence you had a earpiece hardware failure at the same time...

It just seems very odd that an earpiece failure would also disable speakerphone/bluetooth as well. Plugging in a wired headset does work though, adding to my confusion over it.

I'll admit it does seem weird. If you do use Odin though and restore to factory stock it completely resets everything so I find it hard to point a finger at the update after doing that.

I do hope this can get resolved for you.

Wow, so that was wierd. Turns out it was a sort of hardware failure that just happened by chance the same day I got the update. For some reason the headphone jack wasn't registering when I disconnected headphones, hence the no speakerphone/bluetooth options and no sound from the earpiece. Cleaned it a bit and popped in a pair of headphones a few times quickly and it is all cleared up now. Yay
