My phone has been doing this for 2 or 3 days now. When I accept an incoming call, the phone automatically enters speakerphone mode.
When a BT headset is connected, it is fine.
Anyone got a clue why it is doing this? I havenet installed any apps which should have this effect.

Been looking into this all night, with no luck. Has anyone seen this before?
Not had any calls come in on mine yet so can't comment on whether I am affected. I would have thought it would be well known about though if it was widespread.
Are you using stock rom? Tried re-flashing the RUU?
Had this to you need to make someone call you and keep trying with the button to switch between speaker or ear and eventually i got it right! Hold it against your ear then remove it and try button again thats how i did it!

Same here with that issue ever since those new updates started

Mine too but it hardly ever does it now. A sensor tries to detect how your phone is positioned and switches to speaker. It seems to go away on the stock rom, so persevere on the stock rom. It all worked out for me eventually. Word of advice though, DISABLE SENSE until it's ready. It makes your contact icons in messages disappear. Htc always releases questionable software which should be described as beta. If you use bluetooth for music, stick with stock for now. Yadda yadda. All in all, the dhd. Rules. Oh ya, anyone know how the htc hd2 rund witb android 2.2. I saw lots of great deals on ebay to buy a broken one and fix tbe software to run android. I just want a new toy really.

I had this for a while - turned out to be an iffy setting in my profile manager/switcher (phoneweaver). Are you using anything like that?
FIXED: Oh my word, how simple was this...
Should have said, I'm on stock everything as I have a poor track record with having to send stuff back to manufacturers to be fixed.
After spending all night looking for a solution, and trying a couple of things found on other forums (install phonespeaker app and turn it off in that - doesn't work BTW), I decided this morning to remove the possibility that the phone had simply got its panties in a bunch, switched it off properly and removed the battery. 10 minutes of being denied a power source has cured it. Most bizarre.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Question, can we use the camera while on the phone? I tried to use it but i got a message stating that i can not use it while on a call. Is there a work around it or the tab cant handle 2 things at a time?
anyone? or am i the only one that noticed this?
As you talk on the phone you want to take a picture? I guess it's never come up. I want to know more - it could be a good story.
Just wanted to know if its possible abd if the tab can handle more than task at a time.

I guess its more of a safety issue so you don't exit the camera and the call at the same time? Seems strange that you can't, but it seems strange that you'd want to

I got a message saying the camera can't start. I still want to know the background story about how this need came about. Got to be a good one!
I'm absolutly loving Assist, specifically while driving. However, the volume is really LOUD. It's much louder than the standard notification volume.
Yes, I'm sure it's designed to be loud, but to prevent scaring my family every time it's activated, is there any way to turn the volme on Assist down? I haven't actually tried the volume rockers when Assist is active, since I'm busy driving!

Wouldn't that be controlled by the volume slider "Music, Video games & Other media" in sound options? I'm not sure I'm just taking a shot in the dark here.
I really love assist too. However, I only use it to silence my phone at night time before bed and wake in the morning. An option so simple, yet many phones lack it.

You would think so, but I have that slider set to about 60%, and it definitely doesn't appear to change the Assist volume.

Assist obeys that volume on my phone. If I set it to around 10%, it's very quiet indeed.
I feel like I'm the only person that can't get assist to actually work. Doesn't tell me who the message is from or say the actual message.

Mine does not work at all either... no driving, meeting nor sleeping assist work. I tried to clear data and cache but no luck.

Okay, I did factory reset last night, and all Assist features are working now. Obviously, there was a problem before but I am happy now.

Yeah I've done a factory reset, cleared cache in recovery. Everything I can think of. The assist activates when driving, the alert starts, but as soon as it needs to do text to speech with the actual name and message it just stops.
I feel like there is a conflict somewhere but I tried it with a clean install and nothing downloaded. Now that i've got TIBU maybe I should do a clean reinstall of the factory software and re-root and test that. may not be a bad idea.
Mine was doing the opposite so i had to disable it...mine would work fine when driving but would de-activate...so when I got home/to work/wherever and assist 'stopped' it would continue reading out who the message was from and asking me if i wanted it read to me. Which is really annoying because like others, the volume seemed incredibly loud and turning it down didn't help.
Anyone else have this issue? I've had to disable assist because of this, don't want to be sitting in a meeting and get a text and have it start screaming at me.

I'm having the exact same problem. It ALWAYS announces them to me, whether it's in driving mode or not. Even when my phone is on vibrate... I tried turning the Assist feature completely off, and it still announced them to me, very frustrating

I have this issue as well. I love that it does talk to me when I'm driving (when it should) but to do it for every text message no matter what is crazy. Device should know the difference between when I'm driving and when i'm at home....on my own wifi....with screen on....using my device. Even when actually using the messaging app having a conversation with someone is very annoying, just show it to me in the app don't take me out of the app and make me talk/swipe notification away to look at what I was already looking at. I tried several things to fix it until I gave up and installed a 3rd party sms app from play store. Even tweeted Motorola Mobility about issue and they only linked me to the Touchless Control FAQ, useless.
I guess I could try clearing Assist's data, I'm not willing to do a factory reset or anything over the issue though.
I am on pwnmymoto on vzw motox. had previous 2 releases of moto root as well. not sure if any of these root options may be to blame in the matter.

I contacted Motorola support, got transferred to level 2, and then level 3... they finally acknowledged that they found a bug they are working on and will hopefully issue an update for it soon. In the meantime, he showed me how to disable it. If you're interested, go into Settings > Apps > All... scroll down to "Motorola Assist Talk to Me", select it, and then click Disable. This will disable the spoken alerts totally until an update can be pushed out. Once the update is pushed out, you will need to go back in here and re-enable it.
Not the ideal solution, but at least we know an update will be coming to fix it

What's the common denominator here though? What do those who have this bug have in common? Verizon? Pwnmymoto? Excessive luck?

Has nothing to do w/ Pwnmymoto. I was having this issue from day 1 and well before using Pwnmymoto. So it is either Verizon or just Motorola Assist in general.
The speaking of texts while driving was pretty much the main feature i liked w/ Moto Assist (along w/ silencing phone at night) so I'm just going to leave it disabled until an update is out to fix it.

No clue, haven't paid close enough attention to the people reporting the issue. I'm assuming it isn't specific to Verizon but as I said, nothing to back that up.

Was just curious since it seems like some don't have this issue.
I'm happier replacing the stock messaging app than killing all the spoken alerts since that's the only time it gets annoying. Hopefully they will get to it sooner than later since it's just an app update. Thanks for the info.

As of today my phone will link to my Bluetooth headset take calls but will refuse to play music or YouTube videos sound. My jambox now does the same as well....
The sound will transmit out of the ear piece on my smartphone rather than the Bluetooth device which is confirmed to be synced.
Has anyone else had this issue, and or does anyone know what I can do???

I did have this issue before on a previous phone. I think I was able to get it to work after rebooting the first time. The next time it happened, I ended up having to delete the device in the bluetooth settings and then re-discovered it. Have you tried that?

I've tried rebooting works sometimes, and when it does only for a bit. I've tried unpairing devices as well. Still no luck...

Wondering if you found a solution to this. I'm having the same problem. It started after the first update. I wiped the phone, tested apps until I found the one causing the problem (Robin voice assistant). Everything was fine until the most recent update and the problem has resurfaced. That makes me think it's one of the bloatware apps I can't remove without rooting. I haven't added any new apps since I resolved the problem the first time. Verizon swears there's nothing wrong with their update. Before I go through the complicated (for me) process of rooting the phone, I want to be sure there's not an easier fix.
Thoughts
Ive had my note 3 for 2 weeks, the phone came loaded with MJ7 firmware and i noticed some popping and cracking while streaming. Took the MJE update and still had the same symptons. Pretty frustrating... I deleted all my bluetooth devices, did a battery pull and rebooted, seems to have really improved. A 100% improvement? NO, but a 90% improvement. Might wanna give it a try if you havent. Hope it helps....

Hi Everyone.
I've been having random issues with the phone since I got it. Over the last several weeks, these random issues;
1. SiriusXM or any Audio App shuts down when listening through headphones - yet less often if just through the phone's speaker.
2. Phone disconnects during conversations in places that have full strength reception and never were/are issues with any other phone.
3. Video (YouTube or phone-recorded) playback will randomly stop playing.
4. Streaming (very rarely done) will fail as well.
None of these things happen for anything text or e-mail related, so I "ass-u-me" there's a glitch in some part of the phone that handles anything audio related.
I seem to be alone with this issue - but I've only gone back 5 pages in this forum to look for similar issues with others. Do you guru's think I've a warrantee issue, or is there something I'm missing.
Not Rooted, Stock Unit on Verizon.
Thanks all!
Have you tried running the phone in safe mode to see if there isn't a app in the background causing this?

Thanks for the tip Evo. I did as instructed and there's no app running.
So I took the phone down to Verizon and thankfully, I happened twice while with the Tech there. He immediately offered to send me another under warranty.
Sadly ... the replacement has an incredible amount of light-leak-spray from the 2nd screen. Bad enough that it's visible in semi-dark rooms, so I'll be sending that back for them to try again.
Thanks again for responding Evo ... I had completely forgotten about Safe Mode - even though it didn't provide a solution, it's tips like these that make this place great and I appreciate your reply.
I also have the same issue as you. streaming or music player or youtube in general will just stop working for no reason even my data randomly dies out and its unlimited. I'm with t-mobile think ima get it excahnged or a different phone in general. have you found any solutions at all other then exchanging phones. please let me know
