Sound works.... Most of the time!! HELP Please!! - Motorola Droid Bionic

Sound works.... Most of the time!! HELP Please!!
1st off I am on .901
I am using [K]IN3TX
Ok So I started having this issue out of the blue. Sometimes when I am doing any application that uses sound.... it wont SOUND!!
its rare but it has become a problem.
Twice my alarm has gone off..... but no sound.
I use Youtube most of the time sound... but sometimes video with silence.
Pandora... occasionally it will go to the next song..... No sound. I skip the song and sound is back.
All other applications that use sound including the phone ringing have had this phantom issue with sound.
SO I am at wits end with it. I tried Eclipse. PERFECT. Never a sound drop. Now I AM NOT BLAMING [K]IN3TX.
I think it is somthing that I did to the Rom. I couldnt tell ya what though.
I really dont want to Redo the phone again. Anybody ever had this issue?
Anybody fixed this issue.... simply?
I just dont know what to do with it guys.
Thanks in advance.

Just completely redid the [K]IN3TX ROM on my phone with all of my settings. So far no sign of the anomaly.
Edit: Anomaly came back after overclocking!!

Yes I have vigoursly tested this issue. And Overclocking the Bionic is deffinately the culperit!!
Once you Overclock using the Omapp method and flash the 1.2Ghz .zip is deffinately when the anomaly begins to manifest itself.
Soooo back to 1.0Ghz I go. Sorry Omapp it was cool but not worth not wakin up in the mornings in time for work and constant sound drops with all other applications including pandora, slacker, phone ringing, and texting to just name a few.
Hope this helps someone.

No sound and endless vibration?

Hey I have a Diamond on TRL ROM 2, but I just flashed it to try and get rid of a problem I was having with the stock ROM, however it's still there.
After a certain time (not sure how long because I realize it after), the sound for my phone stops, this includes my ringtone, sms alert and even when I try to play music. I miss all my calls and text unless I have vibrate on. Then, when I get a text message it starts to vibrate non-stop and I have to turn off my phone.
When I soft reset it or turn it off and on, it works fine again but only for a certain time.
Does anyone know what's causing this, if it's a setting or ANYTHING, please help!!!
Mine has nothing to do with my bluetooth by the way.
I have this problem too, but my diamond only stops ringing; I see that this problem occours when I disconnect my jabra headset after playing audio manager thru bluetooth.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.
little up, still having this problem, today I've lost two calls...
Any help is very appreciate, thank you.
HTC say to make sure your ringtone is on the main ROM - not the extended area (memory card).
If for any reason the card becomes unavailable (ie a blip or USB connection to PC etc) then the phone temporarily loses its path to the ring tone until a soft reset or similar...
It will either endlessly vibrate if set to vibrate & ring or be silent if set to ring only.
Happened to me a few times.
But not had it since I copied my ringtone to the main memory.
Just a thought... Ignore if your ringtone if it is already on the main ROM.
I'm going to try that and let you know, hopefully you are right!
Thanks for the tip
my ringtone is set to oldphone2, so I think that's in ROM...?
Yeah actually well I don't got my diamond to try it right now, but doesn't it copy the ringtone to the ROM folder if you set it from internal memory.
Plus not only does it not ring, doesn't play mp3s, and even if you pick up the call you can't hear incoming sound and caller can't hear you neither.
So that can't be it, but thanks for trying!
Yes, I spoke too soon as have had this again.
It loses all sound until reset.
I've now experienced this on the original and Bepe's ROM - it must be a fault in HTC's software or configuration as I've not had it on other 6.1 devices.
I'm sure HTC are working on it...
have you installed srs wow hd? ive had this issue with the old version of this software...
Hi, no i got this almost the first day (soem weeks ago), before I had installed anything. I'm running Bepe's ROM with just PocketPlayer and got it again...

I don't think I have that problem installed, are you saying it may be what's causing the problem?
Or it may fix it, if so
Could you give me a link for download, or info on how I can get that installed on my device?
Thanks
Yes hopefully HTC fixes this really really soon with an update!

simply install the 1.21 cab then soft reset. works for me!
let me know...
I have the same problem. Here it's the MediaPlayer I think.
Still no sound at all
I tried everything you guys said here. And still, no sound at all on my Diamond. I put also the Elite 2.0 thinking that if i put another ROM the Sound will appear. But no. I am realy stucked.
What the "#ยค#" should I do to make the sound to work?????
mate your gonna have to return your unit to service centre or place of purchase. I had the same problem, and there are others on this forum that have posted for help about this matter.
I had same issue with you losing all sound intermittently, unit would non stop vibrate when alarm sounded. Hoped it would be a software issue since soft reset fixed it temporarily. My phone has now been away for 3 weeks, still waiting for it to come back
I've got the same problems.
I found one temporary solution, and that's to copy a .WAV or .MIDI ringtone to my documents\my ringtones and set that as your ringtone, or other notifications.
It seems that the problem is with .wma files, at least with my device...

Hey I installed, and yeah the problem still remains, I think this is just to improve sound, I have NO sound...
I can't believe HTC haven't given us something to fix this yet, because with no sound this phone is useless and after spending $700 that's really frustrating.

Thanks, I think you might be on to something, since the media player default music (sample) are wma, and others have being saying it's the media player.
I'll give this a try later today and let you know, thanks!
Edit: How about using mp3s as well? Or should I just do wav?

I' m not sure, but I guess all but .wma is ok.
I use midi's btw, because there is an annoying delay with .wav
no sound at all
In my case, I took the advice of #15. For me it was easy since I just got the phone so my provider changed the phone imedately.
With the new device I put the Hard SPL OliNex 1.40 and then the TRL 2.0 ROM. And happily the device works well.
I installed the SRS WOW 1.2 which made my music playback to delay between actions. So I unistalled and this delay between actions (Play, Seek, Pause, etc) dissapeared.

Ringtone problem/I can hear caller before pick-up!!!

Hi.
i am having a small but annoying problem: when someone calls me, there is a chance (like 1 in 10) that the ringtone won't play properly. i mean, over the chosen ringtone i can hear something else, i don't know what, like a voice or another tune? anyone else had this isssue? could it be a hardware problem? o just some software problem?
i am running enomther's 1.9.2 and those problems started maybe a month ago? also, i am using dialer one as dialing soft, but i think this is only used when dialing, not when receiving, right?
thank you
nobody ever heared of anything like this?
Had this exact same issue with ringtones as well as IM + text notifications. What solved the issue for me was doing a factory restore. Everything has been playing perfectly since.
When i flashed Froyo with out wiping first I had a similar problem...wiped, flashed and then viola!
ok, i'll try reflashing then, thank you
wow. now that is a strange thing!
a week or so ago, my boss (who has a htc leo = hd2) told me that his phone has this strange problem: sometimes, when somebody calls him, he can hear what they are saying BEFORE HE PICKS UP...
Now, i didnt believe him, that is not possible i thought. also, my ringtones stopped being messed up, everythig was ok. until a few moments ago, when my phone was ringing, i was hearing again the scrambled ringtone, but i didnt want to answer si i got it muted. so then it happened to me also: the ringtone got muted, but what was scrambling it could still be heared!!! and it was my friend who was calling me, talking to someone in his car, unaware that i could hear him!!!!
now thats some freaky sht!
anybody else encountered this issue?
p.s. my boss is using original hd2 rom that came with the phone, i am using enom 1.9.2
nobody else has had this problem?
really? i'm the only one with an n1 with spying capability??

Is anyone's earpiece actually TOO LOUD?

Hello All,
I searched first by the way :-/
Recently my Nexus has had its earpiece too loud for both Incoming and Outgoing Calls.
At first I thought it had something to do with the radio, so I downgraded. It actually worked on the first call but after that it was loud as heck even on the lowest volume.
I tried to retrace my steps with my applications next, but nothing that would point to the earpiece. The last apps installed updated where mostly games like Fruit Ninja and Aliens vs. Humans, so I think we can rule out that.
The specs in my sig should be up to date.
The only variable that has changed other than the ones listed above is the fact that I recently bought a Jawbone Icon Bluetooth Headset. But to my memory, this issue began before that.
Can't find a solution anywhere cause it seems most people have an issue with the phone being too soft lol.
I'm really looking for some help guys. I'm just short of wiping the phone clean and reinstalling CM6 and my apps. If that dosen't work I'll have to use the warranty I guess. Had the phone from about Sept 10 I believe.
Let me know if I missed anything guys. All ideas are welcomed to fix this issue.
It's probably because of CM. CM uses a audio boost kernel by default, so I'm guessing that's the problem. Try installing no audio boost kernel to see if it solves the issue.
yeah if you are using cyanogen ROM, they added an audio boost hack long ago. on cyan 5.0.8 the audio boost was so loud that over 50% volume started to distort the speaker and kill your ears. so in later releases they split the difference and lowered it somewhat.
but the boost has always been there. the only likely possibility is that you recently started enabling DSP settings like compression or the EQ, which would suddenly now make things way louder.
Wow thanks guys. Had no clue that CM had an audio boosted kernel. Guess I'll be flashing something else for the while. Something as close to vanilla I guess.
Oh, I also checked the DSP settings, everything was off but was worth a shot.
Thanks again for the replies!
Just to let anyone with the same issue know, I found away around it. I installed one of Wildmonks kernels without the audio fix.
Kernel 2.6.35.10 to be exact. I get to keep my cyan features and have a decent volume ear piece too. Yay!
Good work. It's funny cause most people complain this phone is too quiet. If only they see this post!

Droid 3 no sound during calls

Hello fellas,
I just installed ICS from this link
The sound works fine when playing music or notifications or whatever I do.
But when I'm making or receiving a call, my sound doesnt work. My phone doesnt ring or hear it ring when making a call and nor can they hear me at all.
The only way I can make a phone call is through bluetooth which makes me think that the speaker on the phone isnt configured correctly.
If the ROM is the issue which rom do you recommend for my DROID 3?
Thanks for your help!
This is known issue people are experience with CM9, Gummy, and AOKP. MotoBlur + Android 4.0.4 is based of AOKP inheriting its issues. Usually a restart or two fixes the issue, but it is somewhat random. I believe the issue involves bluetooth but I guess no one really knows. I heard toggling bluetooth sometimes fixes it as well.
However you say it doesn't even ring, I have never had it not ring. But have experienced the rest.
Tried that
I've tried restarting several times, doing it again as I type.
When I've also tried to toggle bluetooth off during a call but it didnt work.
Should I reinstall the ROM?
Ok so I deleted all data and cache.
Re-installed the ROM again and it turns out that bluetooth is messing with my in-call sound. My phone rings now (by default there was no ringtone selected) but when I toggle bluetooth on I cannot hear anyone or anyone hear me.
Band aid: Keep bluetooth turned off until it gets fixed.
Thanks for your help Senate9690.
Is there a different rom out there for Droid 3?
About that band-aid
I run into a the no sound on calls as well. I'm running ICS and have always left the Bluetooth off. For me it seems to happen occasionally after I interrupt music/audio playback by removing the wired headphones from the jack or incoming call.
Just flushing the cache and rebooting letting the cache rebuild seems to fix it without the need to a re flash or factory reset. It is good to hear I'm not the only one experiencing the issue.
I ran into that issue with cm9 (selfkang) as well. Usually just toggling bluetooth off did the trick, and when it didn't, rebooting always worked. The sound issues were only in-call related, and notifications/ringtones worked just fine. I switched to Axiom and aside from the know in-call issues, toggling bt off works perfectly without rebooting.
In my opinion, Axiom is an excellent rom. My only drawback is the amount of battery sucked dry when the screen is on/keyboard out, however under very minimal use it has lasted well into the next day. Hash's original cm9 has prevailed as the battery king in my ICS D3 testing, but Axiom has made me a happy camper. I didn't spend much time with Gummy or the original AOKP though. That's the beauty in rom choices; different strokes for different folks

A lot of Android phones are having this issue. Try this app and see if it works. The Pro version lets you route sound during phone calls too!

Bluetooth Share?
Hi,
This is my first post, but I have encountered an issue similar to this before. I work for a company that makes Bluetooth headsets, primarily for truckers, and this is a fairly often related experience. I would describe it as "dead air" on a phone call. Often, if the headset supports it, the A2DP stream will be fine. I don't know why, or where we found this from, but we have found that often if a user goes into their application settings, to "All" apps, there will be an app there titled "Bluetooth Share". Sometimes there is more than one, but only one with show an amount of data. Going into this, clearing that data, then restarting the phone has been reported to help resolve this issue.
Try it, and see what happens. Not just Motorola phones do this either, but it seems to be associated with Android 4.0.x and up.
Thanks,
Alex.
I belive this rom has a bug where the speaker/earpiece doesn't work if Bluetooth is on.

Make sure bluetooth is off

Issue with bottom speaker in certain games?

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this. For me, specifically when playing Dissidia FF: Opera Omnia and one other game that I tried once but can't recall... When playing, sometimes the bottom speaker will not play sound at all or sound will play in "crackles" (as in, the game sound plays in crackle-length spurts). I can't find any particular cause for it, and messing with settings has done nothing.
Doesn't happen to me with watching videos, listening to music, or playing other games. But I'm wondering if it's somehow still something on my end, or if other people have experienced this. It doesn't happen constantly (sometimes the sound is just fine), but I'd say... Maybe 60% of my time spent playing, this issue occurs.
This is indeed a known software issue on MR2 seemingly to do with low volume. Does briefly increasing and decreasing the volume make the problem go away for a while?
Hmm... Initially I had thought I tried that thoroughly enough. But I figured out a way to make the issue more repeatable, and I tried turning up the volume well past the halfway point (which is usually overkill on this phone... lol). Turns out the sound does indeed kick back in when the volume is put above halfway or so. Sorry, I didn't realize it had to go that high to realize what's going on.
It's still weird that it only seems to happen in this one game I play (and that one other random one). All my other games, music, and videos have no issues. Well, here's hoping they eventually fix it... lol.

I had the same issue playing Clash Royale and Final Fantasy 7. Like you, turning it up to about 60% "fixed" the crackling. But it would return again eventually when I turned the volume back down. I ended up returning the phone because the Microsoft Store is an amazing place with 30 day returns. I love the phone so it sucks, but that issue is a real deal breaker. Once they get it fixed I'll look into getting another. On a side note; I did contact Razer support through twitter and they were going to send me an RMA. Had to go through the whole song and dance of "Did you try a hard reboot" and "Did you do a factory reset". If you decide to do an RMA and they say no let me know.
Nevermind
