My baofeng bff8hp Cant hear anything not even announcement turning on,other party can hear my transmit got this replacement unit because last unit had same tbl. Could it be the battery,only got unit.

SOURCE: cant hear anything

try to dismantle your phone...re-align flex cable/ribbon of your unit.

SOURCE: transmits but doesnt receive

If the meter shows that it's receiving something, the microphone may be the problem. Another possibility is the speaker & plugging an external speaker in would confirm this. Aslo make sure the squelch control is turned all the way to the left (counter-clockwise) & the RF gain is turned to the right (clockwise).

SOURCE: headset failed to transmit

You can mute outgoing voice during a call by tapping on both volume buttons and tap them again to un-mute.happened to me a lot . hs850

SOURCE: I just purchased two Baofeng BF 888s radios and had them programmed to our frequency here. They will both receive and transmit with each other but not transmit to the radios we already had. Any ideas?

Your radios could be programmed with subaudible tones (CTCSS) or digital code squelch (DCS) which the new radios do not have. They can be programmed for it, you need to find out what tone/code you are using.
It could also be that your existing radios are programmed for a "duplex" repeater channel, with different transmit and receive frequencies. The new radios might be on the "repeater output" frequency so they would not activate the repeater.
Both could be the case, missing tone and duplex frequencies.
I would check the programming of the new and old radios, especially for tone/code squelch.

SOURCE: My baofeng uv-5r will not transmit any solutions?

Don't know what software you used but try looking up a program called Chirp on the internet and use it to progran the radio. The program gets updated a lot. It has worked well for a large group of us. Is the battery fully charged?
