Sometimes when I leave my Nook alone for awhile and then come back I am unable to wake it up by pressing one of the hardware keys. I have to plug it in and it boots up(rather than just waking up) has anyone else had a similar problem?
THis is seemingly random. It was on sleep all night and I woke it up to read this morning(after about 8+ hours of being in sleep mode). Just now however I tried to wake it up and it would not(after less than 45 min of being in sleep mode).
I'm having a similar problem. I've found that I can also make it come on by holding the power button long enough for it to do a shutdown (30 seconds I think) and then turning it back on. After I did a factory reset it worked correctly for a week and is now doing the same thing. I've had the issue on the stock software and with root applied. I'm going to return it today.
I know it's not helpful, but at least you aren't the only one with the problem.
How does the return process work? Can I just box it up and take it back to the store?
You might try a full factory reset before returning it. Do the 8X reboot and then the 3 button data reset. See if this helps as it may be a software issue and this may help/eliminate the problem.
Yes, I have seen this before. Are you running SetCPU on it? I removed it from a friends device and it resolved the problem in that particular case. He was going to return it as well. He probably would have had the same issue with the next one since he would have potentially installed the same apps (with the same settings) on it from backup. SetCPU may not be completely at fault since it may have been setup wrong. All I know is that, it stopped happening after it was removed.
I was using CPUtuner up until a few days ago. I was however using Settings Profile Lite so I don't know if that may have had something to do with it.
I've had a similar issue ... occasionally it won't turn on, and I need to hold the button down for 20 seconds or so to get it to reboot.
However, I've found that if I use the N button to bring it out of standby, that it happens so infrequently that I haven't taken the time to troubleshoot if this behavior persists in an un-rooted state.
Sounds like exactly the same issue I have with a SetCPU for Windows Mobile. Locks up the device on wakeup and needs a soft reset to get it back up and running. Almost made me late for work as my phone is my alarm.
I believe it also had the same effect on the EVO I had for a bit but configuring to a more strict setting and keeping it from throttling up and down seemed to help. (OnDemand setting over conservative I believe)
About the return, yes just box it up with the cord and take it back. I told them the issue and they exchanged it for a new one with no problem. I did the full factory reset before I took it back so that I could unroot the device and it still displayed the same behavior. So far on the new one I have no problems. I do notice that the power button click action is better on the new one. Perhaps that was a problem with the one I had.
Hmmm. Okay. I just attempted to wake up my nook with no luck after doing the factory resets last night. I will probably be boxing it up and exchanging it tomorrow.

I used to have the same problem and found that all I had to do was uninstall and reinstall auto-nooter and problem solved. Im not sure if you're rooted or not.
I get that once in a while... haven't looked much into it but if I plug it in it'll reboot or if I hold the power button for a while it'll also reboot. No biggie... I'm a WM user for a very long time. I've learned to live with the little annoyances
I got mine exchanged, the lady just wanted to update my softwre because she was sure that would fix it, then of all things the screen crapped out and wouldn't respond to her touches anymore so I got a new one.
I haven't rooted this one yet.
who can help me ,my nexus one can not make any sound,
I'm not sure if i can help you.
But I'm pretty sure anyone who does needs a little bit more information.
Is your N1 rooted or not? If yes which Rom do you use?
What happened before it stopped making sounds?
I could imagine that could be usefull for people trying to help.
Make a complete wipe and see if it helps
Hi!
Initially had this issue when I bought my N1 (a store sample) and it re-surfaced a week ago. Now this is from experience only, so I'm not pretending to know whether "your N1 fails to initialize soundboard for reason X"....
Issue that I solved succesfully is this:
I had no sound from the phone speaker (no ringing, no alerts, no music) - and actually all phonecalls were also silent (and ended up rebooting the phone about 15 secs into the call). What's freaky is that I was able to play music, hear alerts, take calls etc. over my headphones!
I was suspecting something to be wrong with the ringtones from the SD card.
So before wiping your phone (even with nandroid recovery it's a b*tch of a job) try this: Reset all alert tones to some default tones (which are in the rom). Turn N1 off, remove SD & sim, then let it reboot. Then power down, insert sim, keep SD out. Reboot. You should get the tones/sounds/in-call audio back after a few tries of these combinations. You can also try unmounting/remounting the card repeatedly. Also, it may help if you have a second SD card ready (empty or without). When you get the sound back, you can again start using your custom tones off the SD card.
(I usually wipe any unused ringtones in the process, and have even removed the tones from my card, and then reinserted them on the SD, which also seems to work after a few power-down/power-up cycles.)
Sorry, it's totally "unscientific" but if you have, say, half an hour to a full hour to spare do the above and your N1 will be back on track.
Pistolero0 is right we could use a little more info. Another thing that I would like to know is can you play sound through the headphone jack or Bluetooth or is it just the phone speaker.
Uh-oh... Just when I answered, I got the same problem again. This time, it's taken me a day to cycle/recycle. I've gotten the sounds back twice, only to lose them due to a random re-boot. I'm still suspecting it's a question of the SD notifications/ringtones messing up something in the system. (Or it's due to a certain app getting installed or uninstalled.)
So, the sound sometimes comes back, sometimes doesn't.
So, I'm also asking for help on this one....
Symptoms
No in-call audio whatsoever
No audio through internal speaker (the ear-speaker)
No audio through the speakerphone-speaker (on the back)
No notification sounds, no alarm sounds, no ringing.
Music cannot play (the track doesn't seem to advance).
All audio works over bluetooth headset - I can hear notifications/ringtones/alarms, screenlock sound, and even music (winamp & stock).
However, I still cannot make a call over BT (I do hear the ringing, but the audio doesn't connect on an incoming call. Outbound calls are completely silent on BT phones as well.
No sound whatsoever over the standard plugin HF-headphones (the ones that came with the N1).
So my plea is also, how do I fix this? (Wiped & Nandroid-backuped once, but the problem resurfaced, so I don't think that's the thing, then).
EDIT: Now trying the passimg method (FRG83-->GRI40-->root-->GRJ22+SU.zip) - I guess I should have done this aways back, (like 3months ago when I got my N1) but didn't.
There we go, froyoed for a while
EDIT: Now trying the passimg method (FRG83/D/G --> GRI40 --> root --> install GRJ22 update + SU.zip via clockwork) — I guess I should have done this aways back, (like 3months ago when I got my N1) but didn't.

What a bummer... Froyo, but NO sound. [O]I guess it is a hardware thing then after all, despite all the evidence I've seen so far?[/O]
RESULTS
Some hours later am now back on rooted stock GRJ22, but still no sounds. This must then be a hardware thing - albeit one that doesn't manifest itself always.
Suspecting something is wrong with the 3,5mm plug? (Or a wire is crossed somewhere, which silences the ear-speaker and speakerphone speaker alike).
Still suffering. Anyone got an idea?
Did anyone get their problem solved?
Well I've never had this problem but can I ask you a question when you flash do you use 3X system wipe and 5X data/cache wipe because I don't really think this is hardware cause or else in theory if it is hardware the problem should stay even after a reflash unless it is consistent with something else (example every time you hit X amount of memory used, every time you hit X amount of run time, etc).
So try the 3X system and 5X data/cache and see what happens.

You mean first do the system + data/cache wipes, then flash?
By system wipe, you mean the usual reset-to-factory status kind of wipe?
And how do you proceed with the data/cache wipe? Like, with Titanium or some other choice?
Sorry for the n00biness, I try not to flash schtuff too often. Anyway, I'm going to try your suggestion out as soon as I can.
Sorry for the late reply I haven't had much free time lately but why I say system wipe I mean either use temasek system wipe (if on Amon RA) or the built in wipe system option in clockwork mod depending on your recovery. And for data/cache that is the factory reset.
Update - One Factory Servicing Later, a fix of sorts
Okay. After two weeks of consternation I walked to the service center.
6 wks later (that would be today) I got my N1 back....
Motherboard had been replaced, rigid flex had been replaced, antenna had been replaced. Warranty repairs on level 1 & level 2 had been done. Anyway, quiiiiite happy now.
And yes, I do have sound. Luckily, I was still within warranty, and will continue to be. Lovely.
(Presently going back the FRG83 - FRG83D - FRG83G - GRI40 (gingerbreak root) - GRJ22 route).
ok so i got my htc one a couple of days ago and it sees to have a serious problem!
Basically the phone goes through stages of random vibrating every few mins to full on constant vibrating like there is a fan or motor buzzing in there. It even does it if the phone is switched off! Ive just had an episode of it vibrating no stop for 10 mins, didnt make a difference when i switched it off or when i factory reset it!
It seems to overheat or something and only stopped doing it after i had just left it for a while. I have tried to speak with htc about it but they were useless and had no suggestions what soever.
I really need some help here, i bought the phone privately and to all intense purposes it seemed like brand new

SO you CAN NOT exchange the phone?
if not... root your phone and flash different rom that should resolve problem...at least give it a try!

No cant exchange it, only option i might have if i cant get the problem ressolved on here would be to send it to htc for repair but can take up to 2 weeks.
when i got the phone it was still on 4.1 and told me update available to 4.2 so i did that. Thats all i have done , apart from unlocking it from 02 using a code.
its almost like on a computer when its being worked hard etc that you here the fan cut in, thats what it seems like except it sounds like the buzz you get when you first start the phone. sometimes it does this just once every few mins or so, other times it will start doing it and not stop...even when switched off.....everything else on the phone seems to work fine

Did the device get wet at some point? Sounds like a hardware problem if a factory reset didn't solve the problem.
There's a slight chance it could be a real bad app or an issue with the rom. Maybe running a stock RUU for your device if you can find it might help.
Pretty sure it hasent got wet .
Would be happy to put stock Rom back on it but not sure how I go about reflashing it .
Don't know if this normal or not but when I did a factory reset I thought the device would be wiped completely, all my pictures and videos etc however when I set it back up again I found some videos on there still that I had downloaded to the phone off the net.
Maybe it's not wiping itself correctly either?

Resetting the device should wipe everything and bring it to the same condition as new.
Go to settings>>Backup & Reset>>Reset phone>>now check "Erase all data", then tap "OK".
If that doesn't work, try to do a factory reset from the bootloader.

Factory reset will wipe the device but leave the contents of the sdcard untouched which explains why your vids are still there
Appreciate the help guys, thankyou
So, is there any benifit to wiping the device completely over and above what I've done allready?
Today the phone has just done the odd sudden vibration as if you were just booting up, around 5 times in total, nowhere near as bad as last night, don't know why that would be.
Would it be possible to reflash standard firmware?
Is so how would I do it. Phone is completley standard and was in 4.1 prior to the ota update to 4.2, could 4.2 be the problem?

I'd try it. You can back up your pics and music on your PC via HTC Sync first.
Ok so I have tried it but no joy
Still getting the random buzzing/vibration for no apparent reason.
Could it be a bug with the update to 4.2.2?
Can I go back to 4.1?
I'm at my witts end with this now

Don't think it's a bug with 4.2.2 but a hardware issue.
Couple of other things to try ; download "CID Getter" from the play store, run it and find out your device's CID number. Now search on Google or xda for the RUU for your device's CID number. Download the RUU.exe to your pc, connect your phone to the pc and run the RUU.exe. This will bring the phone back to stock 4.1..
Or you can unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Step by step instructions can be found on xda
Sorry, don't know of any easy solutions.

thanks for sticking with me on this :good:
I have just followed a a video on here on how to unlock the bootloader and s-off and root - so now good to go
not sure how i put a new firmware on here now though..going to have to do a bit more reading....
i think to start with ill try downloading standard htc 4.1 rom when i can figure out which one it is and how i put it on and then go from there.
ok so just to update this....
last night i have tried the standard google edition rom on my phone and for the first few hours all seemed fine untill 4am this morning when i was woked by the phone doing its random vibrating thing...it was just sat by the side of my bed on charge
Can only think it must be a hardware issue now...but still dont know what or what is triggering it

You tried everything so it's has to be a hardware issue. Maybe the vibration starts when the device gets warm. Sorry we couldn't fix it.

My HTC one has been doing the same thing. Vibrating randomly even when powered down. Brought it back to Sprint and had them order me a new phone. The only way to stop it from vibrating when powered down was to bang it on a hard surface, then it would stop. Crazy!
Vibrating non stop
My HTC One had been vibrating cotinuously too. I kept slapping the upper part of the phone to stop it from vibrating. However, this worked for the initial few days only. Later, it continued to vibrate continuously without stopping at all ! In the night I left the phone in the other room while it was still vibrating and the next morning the phone wouldn't charge at all! Now the phone is not booting/ charging. It is dead! Any leads?
EDIT: I slapped the upper part again, it suddenly woke up from the dead! It is charging now, the LED is red too!! But it is still continuously vibrating. I have left it to charge as of now, but please help with this vibrating problem. Any ideas?
I've had the same issue with my M7 today.
There were no software updates or any new apps lately.
It all emerged when i was pressing the home button (to exit from some app) and at the same time an incomming call started.
I have tried:
switching it off - did not help
Changing volume setting silent\vibe\sound a couple of times - no effect
Soft reset - no help
Hard reset - no help
Slapping with upper side of the phone against my had - helped for some time, the it started again
Seems like hardware issue.
Currently working solution for me:
Switch off the option "Vibrate on keypress" in Settings ==> Sound & notification
UPD: had to turn off all the vibrations
So far so good. Apparently there is some issue with vibe motor, and it just does not stop. I assume that by disabling that option it is not getting started and thus no constant vibe follows.
UPD 2 Fixed:
Issue reoccurred on hitting the device against my palm.
Had to disassemble it, there are a couple of instructions on youtube, i used plastic cards.
Motor was spinning even with a switched off device. Had to unplug and plug the motor a couple of times and it helped.
Turned on all vibrations in settings, no issues so far.
Hope that helps.
Well I updated my Moto X XT1092 to 5.1 yesterday. Since then, the ear speaker has stopped working during both incoming calls and outgoing calls. I can hear everything clearly while on loud speaker, however i can't hear a thing while enabling the ear speaker. The person I am talking to can hear everything though. After the update, i cleaned the device using clean master. I haven't done a factory reset yet and haven't done anything in the recovery either, hoping there is an easier fix to it. Can anybody help me fix it?
I am having the exact same issue. But in my case the earpiece worked initially and suddenly stopped working from yesterday. I tried rebooting the phone as well as rebooting in safe mode. Both didnt help. I also tried to clear the cache and data for the phone and dialer app, which didnt help either? I am planning to do a factory reset. Will that have any impact? I was on 5.0 pure edition when i sideloaded the 5.1 soak LPE23.32-14.
I forgot to mention that the earpiece worked initially in my case too. I did make one phone call and everything was fine till that point. And then it all started few minutes later. I did an ota update and I really wasn't expecting such issue. So if clearing cache and the dialler didn't help you fix the issue, I guess our only option is to factory reset. Let me know if factory resetting fixes the issue.

UPDATE:Finally got it working after updating to the latest build 23.16.3 posted in the general section
Nothing has worked for me so far. Is your phone xt1905? Well mine is xt1902 and I had updated it through ota before the entire issue started, and the build is 23.16.1. So I guess I'm already on the latest build. Do you have any suggestion regarding what i should do?
Hi,

please note : Go to dialer and disable hearing aid, earpiece will start working.
No need of factory reset
I haven't updated to 5.1 and hearing aid isn't enabled.. Only thing I can think of is the dictionary update wifi required notification being the last thing that was done before losing sound in the ear piece. To remove dictionary updates is there a specific app I can clear data from?

You legend, this worked! I've been trying everything. How the hell did they get enabled during the 5.1 update?
I found it a bit weird that it was working after factory reset and then suddenly stopped.
found this thread because my earpiece stopped working today. stock android 5.1 att moto x 2014. tried a bunch of stuff (hearing aid, wipe cache, reboot,..) didnt work. What did work for me was as simple as it gets. in my settings i turned everything off except cell signal (wifi, blutooth, location, screen rotate...) tried a call it worked. Dont know why or how but it did. havent tried turning everything back on yet. a bit scared to. Hope this helps someone.
!!UPDATE!! I do not think that helped . went out again and turning everything off didnt work.... So i back tracked to what I did before turning everything off. that step got my speaker back again for now at least. What that step was is i called my voicemail and inserted headphones in and out a couple times. I am thinking that the dialer thinks there are headphones plugged in so no speaker. I also believe it has to do with the dialer software since all other sounds and apps come out loudspeaker. using internal speaker test app internal speaker does not work when it is out. If it goes out again i will try headphones in that app to see if that resets it.
on I side note i just realized all my homescreen apps and widgets are gone. they are still installed just not on homescreen
So did anyone reach an effective solution regarding this issue or determined the root cause? It just happened to me today and i have been trying everything i have read online but nothing worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what finally worked for me was cleaning headphone jack. you can do this at your own risk. i pulled most of cotton off a qtip. put alcohol on it and cleaned it. i did not think this was problem because any app that used the loudspeaker worked even calling worked with speakerphone. so my thinking was it is not dirty but i cleaned it and have not had a problem for about 2 weeks now.

Found the solution, it was water damage actually.
My mom forgot to tell me that water went in through the headphone jack.
And as water conducts electricity the phone thought headphones were plugged in. Cleaning it with a cloth and a toothpick and then shaking the phone a few times fixed it.
I think that's why cleaning your headphone jack fixed it as well affiatic, water went in probably.
My friend is suffering from the same situation.
1. Tried clearing data + cache for dialer app.
2. Hearing aid compatibility disabled.
3. Did factory reset.
Nothing has worked so far.
Can anybody elaborate the solution suggested in the below link? (Im getting 403 error opening the link.)

2. Hearing aid compatibility disabled.
3. Did factory reset.
Nothing has worked so far.
Can anybody elaborate the solution suggested in the below link? (Im getting 403 error opening the link.)
Would be grateful if someone could provide a valide solution.

Have you ever tried to make or receive a call on your Moto X and you hear nothing on the other side, almost as if there isn’t even a connection made? Then when you try to call again, for some reason it works?
If you have experienced this, you also understand how frustrating it can be when you have to hang up and dial again, just to make a simple call. This problem plagued me for months of owning my 2014 Moto X, searching everywhere for a resolution to this hugely annoying problem. It wasn’t only me who was experiencing this issue either. A friend with the same phone was having the exact same problem as I, however it was impacting them even more, since it was used for their business. At this point, I figured that it wasn’t only the both of us experiencing the issue, but potentially many others owners as well. After much more searching, I came across a similar issue on a different phone, which listed some ideas to fix the issue. To my surprise, when I completed the process, the problem was fixed and has yet to return. Here is what I did…
Fix Inability to Hear Calls on Moto X
I had tried many different things to fix this issue, such as switching from Dalvik to Art, then back to Dalvik again. Rebooting the phone also didn’t seem to help much at all. Now for what fixed the error (scroll below for the steps).
First, I wanted to clear all cache, as that can sometimes fix simple issues. After I had entered the Recovery menu and cleared the cache, I noticed the problem had stayed away for a bit longer than a reboot, but eventually it came back again. Next, I put the phone into Safe Mode. Once the phone rebooted into Safe Mode, I shut down the device and plugged it in to my wall charger for two hours. To my surprise, after two hours when I turned my phone back on and tried making a call, I could hear the other side. The problem was gone and has yet to return, months later.
Anybody that has experienced this same issue, should try the steps below. It may just make your phone much less frustrating to operate.
Putting the Moto X into Recovery Mode to Delete Cache:
1. Power off your phone, by pressing down the power button until the power menu pops up and selecting*Power Off.

Don’t worry, you didn’t break anything.
6. Now you must enter the*Recovery Menu.
– For Android 4.4.4: Hold down the*Volume Up*button for about 10-15 seconds and while holding that down, press the*Power Button.You should see a new menu pop up.
– For Android 5.0: Hold down the*Power Button*for a few seconds and while holding that down, press the*Volume Up*key. You should see a new menu pop up.

7. Press*Volume Down*until you have*Wipe Cache Partition*highlighted, then press thePower Button.*Your phone will now reboot. It is time for the next step.
Putting your Moto X into Safe Mode

3. Once your phone reboots into*Safe Mode,Power Off*your phone.
4. With your phone powered off, plug it into your wall charger for 2 hours.
5. After 2 hours, you may unplug your phone and turn it back on. Now you should be able to make and receive calls without the issues you were experiencing before!
Hope this works as well for you as it did for me!

I've had rooted HTC devices (Hero, EVO 3D) and then rooted Samsung Galaxy S3, Note 8.0 tablet and Note 4 which was my last device before this one. So this is my first unrooted device basically since I rooted my first Android device and I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. I looked at my Note8 last night to find it in SAFE MODE. This phone has not been activated because I've been using the free WiFi hotspot on my rooted Note 4 to provide internet to my PS4 because the WiFi in the nursing home I'm temporarily in cuts out a lot and I got the Note8 on 9/15 so I'm assuming I'm going to be in trouble with Sprint when I call about now being in default to see if I can fix that before they charge me every penny I'll have for the next 2 years and cut ties with me forever. I've only ever had Sprint. If anyone can give me any tips on what to say when I call about that it would be appreciated. Anyone know how big of a deal it is to be in default like this for a few months? They never told me I was even in default. I figured it out. They haven't been charging me for the lease, not once.
Anyway, this unactivated Note8 has not been updated at all either. I haven't installed anything in the last couple of days prior to safe mode starting, that I recall. Samsung stock apps are constantly updating though. Can anyone point out the stupid thing that I did or didn't do that probably caused this? And can anyone help me? Please? I'm good with this stuff. Usually. lol
Edit: I forgot to say that in an attempt to fix it, I rebooted the phone more than once. I used the thing that shows up in the notifications to get it out of safe mode and I also just held the power button down and tapped reboot when it popped up. No change. I powered it off then left it off for 2 minutes and powered back on with no change. I have had a major issue with the volume rocker since I got the phone. Like it really never moved. I had to get an app to control the volumes and use Tasker to control the profiles in the app. Once in a while, I could get it to work but then it would act as if I was holding it in which I wasn't. Maybe 2 days before it went into safe mode, I pressed down hard on the volume up button and it snapped. Ever since it would make a sound at random times like the volume button was being pressed even though the phone was just sitting and the screen was usually off at the time. After it went into safe mode, I messed with it enough that the sound stopped and I did get the volume rocker to move in each direction though now that it seems to be in a neutral position I don't want to mess with it at all. I tried to reboot to see if it would come out of safe mode after that but there was no change.

Okay, so let me get this straight. You got the phone through the Sprint Lease Program, but you never activated the phone? Did you get the insurance for the phone?
Easy fix, if you are within the 14 days of owning it, take it back and get a new one. If you have insurance, file a claim.
Other then that you could see if it boots to download mode and try to flash the firmware for it. Everything will be gone but it should fix the issue.
