The audio both from the speaker and headphones only seems to work after a reboot. I have no idea when it stops functioning.
This was a problem from day 1 with the free elephant kid book using the Read To Me function. I just had it happen with the music player, both the native one and MortPlayer. I had originally assumed it was a glitch with the book.
If a reboot fixes the problem, it's a software issue, right? Why did a search here not produce any similar threads? If I'm alone here, then it's a hardware issue and I'll need to unroot and return it, right?

Your search method must be flawed, as this is a known & frequently discussed issue.

It's defective. Get a new one.
Thanks for the reply.
Now to unroot...
Mine had the same exact problem. Audio usually stopped working after the screen went to sleep for the first time after a reboot. I recently flashed the 900mhz "screamer" overclock kernel and I've yet to have an audio problem since then. As much sense as that does or doesn't make, it seemed to fix the problem for me. Its worth a try. Hope it works for you (if you haven't already unrooted and returned by now)

When you get your hands on the new one, before you leave the store do this. After power on & such, try the audio (V0l + -). Works? Put to sleep for >10sec. Wake & test audio. No-work? Reboot, (Long power press) Try sleep/wake sequence again. If it works you are golden, now check a few other things & go home & root it! If it fails the test, don't let the Nook Genius tell you that you should let it charge for at least 4 hrs. before testing. The three that I have received had between 50% & 90% charge OOB. That's plenty for it to work properly, assuming the battery level meter is accurate. Put together your own checklist based on info on this forum. Crossword to test edges of screen, kbd. when charging from wall adapter etc.
Good luck, when you get a good one they are solid!

Interesting! That would support the thinking that this issue is related to timing & initializing the audio codec or something related. Hardware specs may be skewed just enough for it to not work when waking up. That's actually encouraging! Means that all those with this problem may see a F/W fix if they don't want to re-clock it.
Cheers,

Well, I unrooted and restored it to factory new using the 9 reboot method. This brought the device back to 1.0.0. I then went back to the store. The manager came out, took the device, and said "it needed 1.0.1 to fix the problem. Let me load it for you." I was thinking, "whatever dude. It had 1.0.1 on it and it still had the issue." But the guy was super nice and ran off with the device to some back office. He came back while it was installing 1.0.1 and it's working fine now. I kept trying to get it to recreate the problem with no luck. (So it actually is good luck.)
I'm assuming the 1.0.1 software update didn't install properly the first time.
I could have done all that myself without going to the store.

That's interesting. I had the audio/sleep problem with 1.0.0 & exchanged it for another 1.0.0 that worked fine. ?????

All right, so a while ago say..few hours or a day ago, I dropped my phone. Nothing seemed wrong, everything was working fine. Until I decided to go play Abduction World Attack. It's a game where you tilt the G1 and the little character moves according to how you tilt it. Surprise Surprise I ran into my problem. The little avatar wouldn't move and it was just stuck there no matter how I turned my phone. I also just noticed that auto-rotate won't work. I believe it's because the accelerometer is broken...Anyone have any advice on how to fix this or calibrate it? I've tried calibrating inside apps that use the accelerometer. I've searched but to no avail. Help will be appreciated Thank-you.
[Edit]: A wipe has fixed this! =)
If your under warranty, you may want to try and get it exchanged. Let T-Mobile/HTC know that it just stopped working.
If you are out of warranty, you can attempt at looking for a solution by taking apart the phone. The official manual is here
The manual has all of the disassemble instructions. Hopefully that will lead you to a solution.
Sounds like it could be a hardware issue but no harm in testing to see if it is a software one. Tried rebooting the mobile? If so see if other programs like Bubble works. If not then a final resort would be a reflash to at least eliminate the software side of things.
If its no go then best to try and get it exchanged...
I've fixed it guys ^^ Seemed like a wipe would do it. I changed to the hero build for a second and then reflash CM after a wipe and accelerometer is fixed. Thanks for the suggestions though! Greatly appreciated
The power of the mighty wipe ^_- Good to hear its been sorted. Since you're the OP too, could you edit the title to SOLVED so people know?

Sure. OP and title has been updated!
Sure wish I had your luck. I'm having the same problem and a wipe didn't do me any good.
I have tried several different mods and none of them work.
tested with browser, bubble, Papi game apps, and Accelerometer xyz Values.
I don't have any akm files located in /data/misc
I do have a /system/bin/akmd but my ps output doesn't show it running.

Most likely a hardware problem then mate. You could try un-rooting and see if the accelerometer works.
If I install RC29 then the accelerometer works without issue. So that rules out hardware issue.
Here is another thread I found that goes in much more detail about what I am experiencing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533749
so far there isn't any movement on this thread. I'm surprised that this issue isn't more wide spread.
I just had the accelerometer on my HTC Sapphire go belly up.
Auto-rotate was broken, compass apps wouldn't initialize, tilting maze games would slowly move the ball to the top left side regardless of actual tilting, etc..
Reboot didn't fix it. However I did have a file under /data/misc/akmd_set.txt and most of the values in it were set to 0.
I renamed that file to akmd_set.txt, then killed akmd, per instructions in a neighboring thread.
akmd rose from its ashes, a new akmd_set.txt automagically appeared, with lots of different numbers for each value in it. All my accelerometer-depending features were happy again.
so yay, and all that.
As a side-note, I've been playing with some not insignificant magnets on my desk, and I'm wondering if abnormal magnetic fields around my phone might have caused the accelerometer miscalibration?
Good for my G1 too.
Kudos to the OP, this solution worked perfectly on my G1 with the same symptoms. Many Thanks!
Before taking the plunge I am looking for success/problem comments from those who have failed with OTA and then tried the JH7_OTA.zip approach.
I have searched and I don't see many comments yet.
It flashed fine for me but now GPS is causing my phone to lock up. Happens if I turn off GPS and just now happened in google maps while driving. Had to pull the battery to reset.
Worked great for me. GPS is working like a champ too.
Thanks to all who worked so hard on the flash.
I updated with the JH7_OTA.zip and it went well, but my phone is worse than before... laggier, bottom buttons seem less responsive (could be due to the increased lag) and the GPS will not see any satellites and much less, lock. I'm sure it's not the file... just another defective unit. This is my fourth Captivate. First two simply lost the ability to connect to 3G and WIFI, the third had a great GPS but the search function would randomly self activate and the body creaked like an old rocking chair, and my current one.

This happened to me. You don't need to pull the battery. Just hold the up volume button and power button for about 10 seconds and the phone will shut off.
Edit Disregard my post.
It's working great for me. I usually stream radio during the day and it usually will drop out once or twice an hour. Today, it has been streaming just perfectly with no dropouts. Thanks to all of those that got this working!!!!
No problems here, either. I did remove my previously installed LagFix first, and I flashed over JH3. GPS seems to track me a little better than before, and it does seem that perhaps the radio is working a bit better and battery life is slightly better as well.
I have the same commute on the train each morning, and pretty much do the same routine each time, so that's a good way for me to compare things after a change. This morning I noticed that my streaming radio barely cut out at all in areas where the signal is low, much less than before, and when I got into work my remaining battery PCT was a little better than usual. I applied the RyanZ lag fix from the market this afternoon and overall am pretty happy so far!
My GPS is still jacked up.

Worked great for me. everything working including the 3 button, usb, and better gps/compass. Things other people were complaining about not working. I flashed odin and rooted with update.zip before i applied this rom.
luck? Sure... but...
I went with the Cognition ROM as JH7_OTA didn't do the trick for me.. All in all I like the Cog experience (install went smoothly, seems fast, no weird errors), but the GPS is definitely not fixed. Accuracy is better in that my phone can locate me on the neighborhood level, but it is still not locking and is locating me blocks away from where I'm actually at.
Worked great for me.
No problems flashing for me. That is the answer to your question, now to issues I had.
HSUPA was not working for me. So I did the revert HSUPA to get 3G back and it killed all data for me. So I did a nandroid back to my previous ROM and then I got FC so I had to Odin and then reinstall my nandroid. That is why I don't like his zip, it works fine but if you want to change ROM's you have to basically flash odin to make sure you have no issues. That is how it was for me, others might be different and then you have the nut swingers who are only for Cognition.
I will say this issue happened to me 3 times. I think the issue might stem from being unable to remove voodoo since it is packaged into his zip. Not positive why I had the issue but for the time being I am trying other alternatives.
Last edit: Just went back to his Cognition thread and see that he pulled the HSUPA zip, so it wasn't just me having issues. Unfortunately stuff like that lets me know that all in one package zips like that need to be worked on more.

you probably should have removed the voodoo lagfix to try to flash other roms since clockwork DOES NOT work with voodoo
alternatively you can install cognition, and install a different kernel if you dont want voodoo lagfix...
flashed it and it's great! except the gps is kind of on and off.
I seem to be having some sound issues with my nook, I have it fully rooted, went through the steps to get gmail / market working (and they are) and it seems like the sound only works for about 5-10 minutes on bootup and then they stop working.. this is every app, I've checked the mute to make sure it wasn't on, and everything else is working perfect.. is this an issue for anyone else?
Having the same issues. What is the deal here?
This is a known hardware issue with a small batch of Nooks (sorry, don't have a link handy). I had the same issue when I bought mine. I was able to exchange it with no hassle and the second one has not had any problems with sound.

I experienced sound issues AFTER the OTA update to 1.0.1 on a stock NC. B&N exchanged it for me. I rooted it on 1.0.0 and am fine now. Were you guys on 1.0.1?

I'm running TD 9.1, and prior was on 8.0. Tried both stock kernel, and a few other ones with no luck. At first when the sounds starts playing, the left speaker works fine, then with in a sec, it will fad to almost nothing. Is this something someone else has encountered? For all I know it has been like this since day one.. But I don't believe so.
Edit: I have also tried clean installs. i have not tried other roms yet.
Double edit: My xda search is not working, but google did for me. Found one other person having somewhat the same issue, but it was never answered. I hate to bump an old tread like that, after i have posted mine already.

I have the exact same issue. Tried million ROMs, sound patches and tricks but nothing change. The easiest way to see the difference between the two speakers is to run the Audio Test using HTC Function Test by dialing *#*#3424#*#*
Finally, I managed to get S-Off and now I'm going to get back to 100% stock flashing RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe, I'll do the test again and update the post.
EDIT: I'm full stock and it didn't fix it I guess I have to send it back...
BTW, what did you do? Did you fixed yours?
Running Sinless 5.1.5 now with elemental, everything works 100%. I guess for some reason my phone just didn't like TD, we all know they have a personality of there own..
Sorry for the long wait before response, I don't pay attention very well.
Seems once again Sony can't seem to get a stable phone. Shame as it offers so much potential with good design and great specs but failing on software again.
Constant app crashes, phone freezing,
Just goes to show you can't just chuck all the latest bits in a package and think it will work.
Going to have to return this unless there is a sudden fix in the next few days as I only have a 14 day change or mind.
That hasn't been my experience at all. I got the US phone and flashed the UK firmware. I haven't had any issues whatsoever. You should try a factory reset before returning the phone.
I have it for 2 weeks now, no freeze or reboots whatsoever... European Firmware here...
My phone was purchased from O2 in the UK. Don't think there is much bloat on there so don't think it's O2 that's screwed it up.
Phone is completely standard with just a handful of apps on it.
So far I have had numerous '' email has stopped working' to Google stopped working to music not working errors.
OK Google seems to hardly ever work. Almost seems like it can't hear the hot word.
I also think that many of the push services are being put to sleep which is why the battery life is so could as I often don't get notifications until I wake the phone yet the same accounts on my old s3 always come through first.
So far had one update come out for the phone. Don't know if it's the latest firmware though.
I can totally not agree with you.
Well I guess all I can do is try reset then but it's such a pain in the ar#e putting all your info back in again.

Does the launcher you use rebuild your home screens after a reset? I still use Google Now Launcher, and after a reset, when I reinstall GNL, everything is put back in its proper place, even web browser page links.
I am using the US firmware, and have not experienced any of the problems you mention. You may have a defective unit. Then again, if you're not happy with the phone for other reasons (and there certainly are things that could be better), you certainly don't want to wait past the return date!
I'm running the UK firmware with the US OEM file to have Volte and fingerprint sensor on T-Mobile and has been rock solid since day one. I would reset.
Have reset the phone and just setting it back up.
Will see how it goes over the next few days.
One thing I did think that was odd previously when it was playing up was when it would crash and reset itself was that when it started up it was on the Google keyboard set up screen. I had installed the Google keyboard as I preferred it to SwiftKey. Maybe the issues were linked to that somehow.
Wow too many errors there... Probably a faulty unit... Or maybe u should do a software repair with Sony pc companion
Don't forget it runs Android Orea 8.0 by means a lot of third party apps may not fully compatible at this moment, consider not many phones running Oreo hence the app developers are not in hurry to tweak their app to run smooth in Oreo. That's what causes the occasional app crashes I believe.
OK so after the full reset and initial impressions are good. Seems smooth with no crashes. I'm back running nova launcher (previously instilled this as thought it might be linked) ive also not installed Google keyboard yet and giving SwiftKey a go.
Only issue that really remains is the one with the ambient sensor. Find my self having to switch the adaptive brightness off at night when using the phone as it jumps around. Need to then switch it back in on the day where it seems fine. Hopefully a fix comes for this soon.

On reddit someone write that he downloaded LUX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite and everything was working much much better. Maybe later i will find the post. (https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/)
No single reboot or app crash for me.
The only thing that crashes on me on occasion is Google Photos, other than that, rock solid so far.
Just had an a 3rd party app crash but as someone mentioned above it might be because the developer has not updated yet for oreo???
Other than that been much better so far

Same for me. 3 weeks i have got it 100% stable.:good:
Uhm ok I guess now it's my turn.
Today the "touch" went crazy. 2 times. Like for example keeping pressing recent button ? will result in multiple touches. Basically every touch is not a "pressing" touch. So I can't do swiping or other keep pressing relative touching. First time happened, a reboot fixed. Second time nothing worked. I have to SHUT DOWN THE PHONE AND WAIT A LITTLE BIT, then turn it on and everything was OK...
Is it just me?
P.s. UPDATE: I tried everything, safe mode, total reset, even software repair through PC companion...nothing. Its obviously a hardware problem, not software related. I returned this morning to assistance. They should give it back to me within a week...
My first week with XZ1C, 100% working, perfect, no reboot or other problems. One of the best phones I ever bought...
Phone's stable, no software/hardware issues. Working away reliably, battery consistently giving me expected results (ending day with 25%-50%, depending on use), connectivity perfect, performance smooth as butter.
