......it happens when i receive a call.....the sound starts out low, then all of a sudden, it raises to full volume after a few seconds......it's not a MAJOR issue, but it's just annoying, i guess......i've soft reset a few times to no avail....has anyone else had this problem and know a solution?
noone? no suggestion?
I know this sounds stupid, but... have you checked the settings for your ringtone?
settings > sounds & notifications > notifications > ring type: increasing ring
Is it set to that? You never said if it was or not..
If so, change that to just "ring". Also, what radio are you using? And what rom, and spl?

yes its set to increasing ring, lol i shoulda mentioned that so people DON'T think im stupid with this question.....but no, it's different from that, and it's not set to increasing ring, it's set on Vibrate and Ring......it just starts out really low, then it almost sounds like it skips and all of a sudden gets louder....
and im using the Hyperdragon III Opal with whichever radio was meant for it (forgive me, im too lazy to soft reset to find out lol)....but this problem just began out of nowhere....i doubt that its a radio or rom issue because i never had that problem any time before now...
Hmmm...have you installed anything since the last time it worked normally?
Any kind of audio-related apps, or mods, or have you edited the registry?
Also, have you soft/hard reset it to try to resolve it?
And maybe try a new radio? I know that sometimes radios have issues... my phone was working normally one day, and the next it wouldn't ring whatsoever, and it was due to my radio. I upgraded to a newer radio and haven't had the problem since.
I just use the stock Kaiser radio, the newest one that's for wm6.1

i guess i may have to try this then, cuz it's kinda annoying, and lately it seems like its even lower to start, and i miss calls sometimes because of how low it starts, by the time its audible, the person's hung up already...
figured it out.....it wasn't the radio, it was Microsoft Voice Command....i didn't think of it when i was remembering everything i'd recently installed, because i had only upgraded it....but after uninstalling it, my phone rings perfectly again....
I'm not sure what the problem could be.
When I first wipe the phone everything is fine but as soon as I put a ROM on there I lose the ability to receive phone calls. Every call goes straight to voicemail. At first I thought it was an app causing the problem (YouMail, Timeriffic...). I uninstalled those but still no calls. I did a wipe, phone rings. Put a ROM (no apps yet), straight to voicemail. Right now I'm using Damage 1.5 but that doesn't make a difference because it happens with Fresh & Darch too.
Is there a common setting somewhere that changes and could be interrupting my ability to get calls?
edit.....
Now that I think about it, this all started yesterday when I changed that CDMA auto thing. But that setting doesn't keep after restarts right? And wiping the phone should have cleared that anyway right?

One word:
nandroid
That was the first thing I did
I've nandroided (is that a word?) all the way back to January. That's all I've done since this started yesterday. Wipe... New image. Wipe... old backup. Wipe, older backup.
I'm about to smash this thing lol
go back into the test menu and make sure your phone isn't set to evdo only tht will keep calls from, coming in
You only get to ask one question per thread, so I'll answer the one in your title.
Yes.

Gee thanks! lol
After living like this for 2 days I'm thinking it's not so bad. I changed my voicemail message to say I'm having a problem, send me a text and I'll call them back. I dont have angry ex's calling, no kids needing money, no mother complaining. They text me! And if I want to listen to it I'll call them back. It's kinda quiet. I think I like it
I'll put it back to stock and take it to Sprint tomorrow. Let them deal with it.
I bought my Incredible S from Virgin Mobile Canada last summer (I live in Turkey). I've got a weird problem for about a week: there is no sound! When I play videos on Youtube, when I play games, when I plugged in the headphones, when the phone is supposed to ring (there is only vibration)... there is no sound when the phone is turning on, as well.
It happened suddenly and it didn't fall down on the ground recently.
Another weird thing is: when I accept a call / or call someone, the speaker is automatically on and I have to turn it off. The speaker is working well on phone calls by the way.
I checked almost everything in the settings, and everything seems normal. I don't think it's about the hardware but I want to ask you about this problem.
Software Info: [I haven't rooted or done anything to my phone, I use it as its first day settings (yeah, even the Android version, don't ask why, I can't receive any updates for one year for some reason and it's killing me!)]
Android version -> 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version -> 2.1
Baseband V. -> 20.2805.30.08AU_3805.04.03.27_M
Thank you for your help.
I got rid of automatically turning on problem of speaker. I managed to hear the sound in the opening scene as well (after I took the battery off - 1 minute wait - and place it again).
But I have still no sound. Is there a possiblity of blown speaker? How can I test if it is blown or not? If it is blown, would the headphones still be working?

If it was blown then in-call loudspeaker wouldn't work.

Blown speakers shouldn't have any affect on your headphone jack.
Sorry I couldn't help you any further
EDIT: this might sound silly but is your phone on silent?
Did you check all volumes i.e; Ringer, Notification, Media, Voice, System.
There are more but I think these are all the relevant ones.
Just check if any of these are set down to mute
Hit Thanks if I helped

I can try it but I haven't done it before and I don't know how to save all the information etc before a factory reset. I don't want to install tens of app again and I don't want to lose all the contacts. Any suggestions for it?

Thank you for the info. I've just made a factory reset, but nothing has change (plus I lost my SMS archive, since I forgot to backup them! :crying
Factory reset can't solve the situation. Any other suggestions? It's really annoying! Still no voice! But there is voice when the phone is turning on... And no voice with the headphones as well. I don't think it's a blown speaker situation... What can I do? It's really urgent!

Do you think this will work? I can try it in 4-5 days, I guess I have no time to try it right now; since I have to pack for travelling and travel abroad.

id try it. its weird but there might be a software glitch or something. so if you try a different rom with fresh files it could work ?
Can it be something about ''Radio'' ? I don't know anything about it but it sounds like it is something that controls the audio?

Hi,
Any progress of your sound problem ?
I have an exact problem. Phone speaker suddenly stop working. No ring tone (can't hear incoming call), can't play music, can't hear from headset. But the power up sounds ok , when the HTC logo came up. Tried restart and all sort of setting to no avail. However, I can hear the speaker rings when I call someone and speak to hear them normally.
Very frustrating. Have not done factory reset yet ... that will be the last resource ...

I cant remember exactly but it repaired itself somehow... I remember that I applied a factory reset (I havent changed any other settings) and like 1 week later or something, yep, it was back suddenly! So strange! I wish you a good luck about it!
Hi Guy's, I seem to be experiencing the opposite problem to what everyone else on this forum is experiencing.
Whenever I make or receive a call, the ear volume is always set to the highest which is too loud especially when in quiet environments as everyone around me can hear what the other person on the end of the line is saying, plus it almost deafens me.
Even when I turn the volume down during a call, it always defaults back to maximum volume during the next call.
I looked under the "volumes" section in the settings but can't seem to see an option for this.
Can anyone help me on this please.
Thanks

Something sure seems to be messed up, try backuping your data and then do a factory reset and check if the issue is associated with the rom itself, if thats the case you should install some other rom or try any mod that modifies your musicfx, like purexaudio.

Thanks I forgot to mention that I am running the stock firmware that came with the phone. It was on android 4.1 when I purchased it and I have since updated it to 4.2.2 but the problem persists.
I would like to know if this happens with other Xperia Zs. Does the ear volume stay on the last level you set it to or does it reset every time a new call is made?
Once I know what it's supposed to do, I will try a factory reset before getting involved with custom roms.

No, Its supposed to stay exactly where you want it to be. Don't worry about anything, just install a recovery like TWRP or CWM first, make a full nandroid backup before you decide to do anything messy so that you can always return to where your z is right now to the very exact state. I would recommend you that you should try a custom ROM instead too, monxDIFIED and EXCELSUS both of them are very good custom roms based on stock.
I'm not a noob by any means. I've done all the normal troubleshooting. I've looked for other similar topics and none exist for this phone. I've tried everything that I can think. Having said that, please excuse me if i missed anything.
Basically, my issue is that I can't accept 95% of my incoming calls. I try to.... And the call hangs up when I press answer. I have the regular stock google dialer. I'm stock but rooted and unencrypted. I realize this may have to do with LTE still being on and not H+ but it's really annoying. It does switch to H+ but still hangs up.
I tried a few custom ROMs and the issue still exists. I've ensured that notifications are checked in the dialer app.
Someone please help me. Maybe I'm missing something simple. It's really annoying not being able to accept a call and having to call people back for every call received.
Please and thanks
And now I've officially tried EVERY ROM for this phone and still.... Can't answer incoming calls. Ugh. Someone please help
Have you tried updating your radio? Have you tried setting your phone in non-LTE so at most it only utilizes H+/H/3G?
Have you cleared cache and tried it in safe mode?
@zephiK thank you for the ideas. Flashed the new radio from your thread... Issue still persists. I haven't gone to just 3g yet because I use my phone a lot for work (law enforcement) and need the LTE speed when identifying people
Edit: tried using 3g and 2g anyways.... Still hangs up whenever I answer incoming calls. Ugh

I have cleared both cache and dalvik cache. I can't get safe mode to work..... I'm using liquid smooth at the moment and when holding power off it doesn't show the option for safe mode
Well I figured out holding reboot gives the safe boot option. My phone bootlooped. I'm going to have to totally undo everything on my phone. Lock and unroot my phone. Then I'll start over using only stock without unlocking or rooting first then continue this trouble shoot.
If anyone can think of anything else please let me know thank you and merry Christmas
I had the same issue with mine. I thought I was going crazy. Hope you get it worked out. I sent mine back to Motorola yesterday for a refund.

Update : Solved....
I wiped everything and started over. I flashed stock and went into safe mode. Calls worked. So it was easy to figure out... It was a downloaded app. A call blocker that was blocking everything instead of just the calls it was supposed to.
Thank you to those who offered opinions, suggestions, and comments
I had the same issue with the N5 on att. Was rooted and used a tool that opened a Sprint "only" service menu. Played with a setting and boom, i had voice. Data worked no problem throughout this ordeal.
Have the same problem with a Nexus 6, suddenly the phone did not show up any incoming call screen/window or way to slide out to answer an incoming call. It rings but there is not way to answer the call, even trying to go to the task bar and see if there is a window up there to answer it, no notification or window to press and answer.
This phone is not rooted nor have an application to block calls. it is with lollipop 5.01.
Any ways to solve this horrible bug? This bug is driving me nuts.
