Propblems with speakerphone after AT&T WM 6.1 upgrade

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been noted as one of the bugs with the official 6.1 upgrade, but after a bit of searching I was unable to find anything. Everything seemed to be fine until a couple hours ago. I was at work and hence had not used the phone itself for a while. I was setting up my email accounts again. then a hour or so later, the phone started vibrating for a notification of new emails and would not stop. I had to do a reboot. Now, every time I try to place a call, it uses the speakerphone, and will not switch back no matter what I do. I hit the button for speakerphone and there it says it has changed, and the icon in the status bar on the top also changes, but it still uses the speakerphone. I've not tried with my bluetooth in my car yet to see if that is working ok...
Any suggestions? This is a real problem for me and one that I need an answer to sooner rather than later.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Solved - the problem was with SRS Wow HD audio driver
Just FYI - incase anyone else is having the same problem.
I worked backwards and unintsalled each program I had put on one by one and tested the phone. Turned out that I forgot I had installed SRS Wow HD sound driver. Once I uninstalled that and rebooted, everything has worked fine since.
Sad that this does not work with 6.1 as it was a really nice piece of software.

[Q] Cognition 2.4 and 2.4.1 No sound Issue

My device makes no sounds anymore. It did this after a day of having 2.4, stopped, then started working just before I went to flash 2.4.1 with the hope of fixing the issue because I kind of need sound.
All Volume sliders are up, sliding them plays nothing, Silent or Vibrate mode is off. When selecting a notification it does not play, alarms do not play, just go off silently..., Media such as songs a movies have no sound. Tried rebooting and everything.
After flashing 2.4.1 the issue was apparent right away.
Hopefully DG saw my posts and is aware of the issue.
Anybody have any idea on how to make sound work?

I had this problem with ringtones so I flashed back to stock, master cleared, and flashed again. So far it seems to be working.

When I flashed to 2.4.1 I GSM MAster Cleared, went back to stock, rooted, CW'd, and then flashed 2.4.1 and I had never done that before and was hoping it would help. I guess I can always try again.

[Q] Incoming Ringtone not working, Froyo 2.2.1 XXJPU

I just flashed the ROM to stock XXJPU 2.2.1..
Everything's outstanding except the incoming call ringtone and vibration..
Whenever someone calls me up, the ringtone sounds for some miliseconds.. and then it's just gone... no vibration in silent mode.. no ringtone in general mode..
I never faced this problem before but facing this after I flashed to XXJPU..
Any solution?

Very strange, I haven't had this happen at all and I'm using JPU.

Ahh..
The message notification is working like a charm but the problem is with incoming calls only :S
Checked all the volumes, ringtones, nothing works. Even the vibration mode is not working.. Phone remains silent while someone calls me up.

wow...
maybe u have the bad firmware... so where can u download this firmware.... any links? and do i need the password on the zip file???

Both my girlfriend and myself have a similar problem, oddly enough we have different firmware and models. Call ringtones and message alerts rarely work. E-mail notifications and such are fine. I've got an 16 GB Australian GT-I9000 (Optus) running JPU. However my girlfriend has a 8 GB GT-I9000 (International) running the latest official (Kies) firmware, JPO.
We're both with different telecomm providers so I don't think it's a network related issue. I'm a little surprised to find that so few other people have the same problem. I'm a bit busy of late but I'll see what I can find out. If anyone else has any information please don't hesitate to share it.

I have exactly the same problem, since I upgraded to JPU. With my previous upgrades, I had no problem so it seems to be a JPU's bug. But, why only some of us are concerned ?
What could I do ? Any ideas ??

I just "fixed" mine somehow by fiddling with settings. I probably shouldn't have done so as now I don't actually know what the problem was (so I can't make a real fix). However, I just tried reselecting my call ringtone, message ringtone, changed my volume up and down, turned silent on and then back off a couple times and enabled vibrate for all calls (not just on silent). Then the next time I got a SMS it worked. I don't know if it will stay working though.

Thanx for answering ! Me, I have no problem with SMS notification. Only calls ring. But, I will follow your note : play with volumes, mp3, sounds, notification modes, ...
I just notice that an icon appeared just a semi-second after a call arrives : that's the "Silent mode activated" icon (an HP with a slash on it !). But I'm not in silent mode !

I had this problem, so I re-flashed and only restored apps and not system data, everything is fine now.

Hey, that's fine, I've found the reason why my phone stopped to ring : an app not compatible with version 2.2.1 called NetQin Mobile Manager v3.2 ! I just uninstalled it and my phone found back his voice ! lol !

[Q] Startup beeping ?

Just after I power on my phone it makes a loud, annoying noise like: "beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep"
It started when I set a custom ringtone and notification sound.
The only cause I can think of is that maybe the phone is trying to play my custom sounds files before they have been scanned by the media scanner, which is resulting in a system notification sound being played instead.
Is that likely to be the case?
My custom sounds are stored in: /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications and /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
Thanks.

Delete or move your custom sounds to test your theory .
No mention of firmware .

Sorry, I was sort of seeing if anyone had a similar problem first. Anyway:
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJPY
Build: FROYO.XXJPY
(Not rooted)
I think I am meant to get Gingerbread any day now, and I plan to root after that - so maybe one of those will fix it.

What I noticed on mine is this only happens when there is a voice mail left when phone was off. I get this annoying, almost non-stop beeping when the phone boots up, and about the only way to stop it is too check notifications asap. I have no tone that sounds like this beeping, and have no clue why it does this on boot. I thought it was stock ROM issues, but I have flashed auxora and trigger 3.2, and get the same annoying beeping. It is only when there is a voice mail in the notifications, when booting up phone.

Thanks jman!
I had the same problem, hours of searching 'android boot alarm' and endless variations on google found nothing on this. I googled 'android beeping at boot', found this thread and you were 100% correct. I cleared my voicemail and no more beeps! Seems like an odd bug, anyone know a way to prevent this from happening any further? I was minutes away from a hard reset before I found your advice. Thanks!

Same here on I9000B Froyo 2.2 JPA
I hate this beep. Its so loud.

No UI sounds, CM7

I've been running cm7 since build 57, all UI sounds were playable then. Since I usually keep my phone on silent, I can't say for certain when exactly my UI sounds stopped working, but it was probably around #65. Anyway, the sounds on the dialer work, however the screen lock/unlock, and all keypress sounds are gone. I've checked the system folder, the files are there in system/media/audio/ui and in the .ogg format. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
For the record, I've made sure the sound settings have audible touch and screen lock/unlock sounds checked, and I've flashed at least 3 times since the problem started. Ran 'fix permissions' as well, to no avail.

The same thing has happened to me, since #77. I only noticed it as missing notification sounds. I think I've disabled all other UI sound effects. I read on an forum after searching for this issue that someone fixed it by doing a factory reset and flashing the latest firmware again. I'm not quite there yet where I'll want to restore everything again..

I tried a factory reset this evening and flashed #84 but still no notification sounds unfortunately. Bizarre.

Hi,
same problem here, are you using voodoo sound?

Have you tried going into settings/cm settings/sounds and had a play with the settings in there?

Yes, but there is no sound for lock/unlock the phone.

I did the same last night with no change, but this morning I fired up the Google Plus app and my phone buzzed and played the notification sound! I didn't change anything!
Vibrations are turned off in the system settings but when I get a text message the notification causes a vibration anyway.
Argh, tested again and notification sounds are turned off again. Bah.

I had Voodoo Sound installed but I haven't installed it since I did a factory reset last night.

hmmm ok, after flashing nightly 84 and google apps, all sounds work well.
But after flashing fugu kernel the sounds of lock/unlock dont work.
Eighter reboot or kernel would be the solution, didnt test it yet.
MfG

ok for me i have found the mistake...
i always delete /system/media because edit hosts file with addfree dosnt work...
and create /media path on sdcard...
now,after flashing newer nightly it is not necessary to delete media in /system
all sounds work after reboot or flashing fugu kernel

This is extremely odd. Yesterday and today the notification sounds worked, but only in the morning. Come the afternoon the sounds (and vibration) stopped working. Very, very weird.

Try this:
Go into Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Sound.
Uncheck "Notification Focus", "Silent State" and "Vibrate during calls" and also set and unset Quiet Hours.
I did all of the above and notification sounds came back. Will keep you posted on what happens next.

Still working a few days later. My guess is that the database of settings got corrupted somehow and by changing the settings above I was able to fix them. Phew!
It doesn't explain why the notifications worked in the morning and then broke later in the day though. I'm just glad they're working at all now.
