Issue, volume goes quiet out no reason

My alarm clock failed me again this morning! This is the second times in less than 1 month. This is quite annoying and I don't even understand WHY?
Settings are correct, volume set at about 50% and it works (most of the time ) fine. But this morning when the alarm rang out, for not reason, volume was barely audible.
And I actually noticed that all other sounds (ringtone, notification and media) had the same problem. I tried to set media volume to max, I could ear some sound but nothing compare to loud sound it should be. I didn't find any way to fix this, except rebooting my gs. After that everything was working perfectly fine.
Anyone with the same problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

Tell us a bit about the firmware you are running, any custom ROM's? Eclair or Froyo?

Actually I used the wrong forum, my phone is a Galaxy S I9000 released for the Japanese market (Japanese name: GALAXY S SC-02B). Appreciate if an admin can move this topic to this appropriate forum, thx.
Here are the details:
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: SC02BOMJJ1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.OMJJ1
I also use the free version of AudioManager as volume manager

Hey,

any updates?

[Q] Nexus 7 - Sound Not Working. Partially.

I received a Nexus 7 at Google I/O, and it had a defective screen, so I had to get it replaced. Now my new one won't play sound. Haha. Bummer.
The weird thing is that it does play alarm and notification sounds, just not the media sounds.
Does anyone with more expertise on Android hardware have any ideas on why this might be happening and whether this is an issue I can rectify personally?
What I have tried so far:
1. Factory reset
2. Checked volumes (All three channels at max volume)
3. Plugged in headphones (this actually produces sound)

If it isn't in the menus, you might need root access and more help...
Have you rooted it yet?
It sounds like media sounds are routed only out the headphone jack.
Given you get alarm and alert sounds, but not media, it sounds like a configuration issue.
Let's give others a chance to chime in and see what is offered up.
Good luck...

Got mine today, got 5 whole hours playing with it and the sound went out, as did the vibration. No sound at all, did a hard reset, nothing. Now sitting on hold with google, waiting to find out how many weeks I am going to have to wait for an RMA.

Don't go to Google. Go straight to Asus.

I am having the same issue. Only audio that works is the email notification. I bought the tablet Monday and the audio stopped working yesterday. I did a factory reset through the settings menu, that didn't help. If i try to go to recovery mode, it freezes on the black google page. I did call asus. After 45 minutes of being asked if i was sure i had the volume on, they asked me to wait 2 weeks and see if an update came through to fix the problem. At one point i was put on hold and encouraged to google search for a solution while i waited. Needless to say I'm pretty disappointed. Any ideas here how to fix this? Do I wait for a fix or walk back into sams club and roll the dice again by exchanging for another? I already reset it and lost my apps and configuration
Thanks
Joe

You know my sound started working spontaneously.. haha. It was really weird. It came and went for a few days and I was still going to send it to Asus, but now the sound is completely there. Try using it for a few days??
Check if your sound works with headphones too.

I didn't think the N7 had a motor for vibration in the first place...
Mine has never vibrated.

Mine does, it stopped working when the sound stopped. Then the sound came on a few hours later, went out again shortly after that, then came back on sometime during the night. Has stayed on since. Fingers crossed it is just a software issue.

I have no sound at all, I've emailed Google, as I got bored on hold on the telephone.

N7 does NOT have a haptic feedback motor. Any "vibration" you've been feeling is a result of the speaker playing clicking noises loudly.
Simply put, you never had vibration. Period.

Received mine yesterday and same here - notifications ok, but no media sound through speakers (which is ok thru headphones)
Has everyone's problem 'healed up' or are anyone still without sound/sent their unit back? Are google sending a silent update out to affected machines?
I'm in the UK and am wondering whether to leave it a day or two or try and contact Google/Asus.
Cheers,
Berty

Mine is working fine at the moment. I would update to the newly released version and see if that resolves your issue.
Give it a few days at least, because your warranty won't expire for a year.

Hello
I have got the same problem as thread starter, does somebody ever found a solution for this?
I have noticed that the sound will work for a few minutes after a restart of the Nexus 7, but i disapeares again.
I have Android 4.2 installed and my device is 2 weeks old.
regards.

I got mine replaced and the new one was fine.

I experienced the same symptoms on this thread no media sound through the speaker but would get sound whilst adjusting alarm volume, I managed to fix this issue by doing the following:
Play any song through the media player then plug in the headphones and unplug them again a few times, on my nexus when I unplugged the headphones the song would pause for some reason, so press play and repeat the process. After a few tries the volume came out of the speakers.
Hope this helps some of you

Got my N7 last Augest and it started to have this exact problem last Saturday...tried this one, still doesn't work...
It looks like it's a software issue since notification sound does come out of the speaker, but problem still there after flashing differernt roms...quite a pickle!

no media sound
I have the same problem. Cracked the screen last year and got it fix last week. After I got it back I immediately updated it to kit Kat 4.4.4 (did not check the sound). Media does not work on speakers. Alarm and notifications work. Everything works on the headset

New Nexus 4 Silent mode issue
Hi,
Even I got a brand new Nexus 4 very recently as a birthday gift from my sister who stays in USA. I stay in India and even I am facing the same issue.
PROBLEM: The phone automatically toggles between ringer and silent mode when making calls.
Say if I've put the phone in silent mode, on making a call it will go to ringer mode and if im on ringer mode, making a call will get me to silent mode.
PS: Did you find any solution? It really gets annoying during meetings as you said.
Also if i reboot the phone this issue gets fixed for some time but again it starts happening.
I have already done a full factory reset twice. Nothing seems to be working for me. I know it's a software bug but it's a new device.
Any solutions??? Plss... Or did your problem get resolved? How if it did...

Sadly No solution to this problem.. But now a days trend has reversed fro me .. if i have it in vibrator mode and change it to ringer it chnages back to vibrator on its own.. this is frustating

Facing the same man... It's not a new problem... we are facing the same issue...
As I mentioned... if its on ringer it goes to vibrate and if its on vibrate it goes to ringer... But if you reboot it gets fine for some time.... then starts happening again...
Let me know if you find a solution. Otherwise have you experienced any screen Freezing during Incoming calls (Unable to pick up) and all? I'm facing that too...

what about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248866

Avg is the culprit according to that forum but.. I need to test it out.. tahnks anyways

AVG SUCKS! - It's the reason for all this chaos
AVG is the cause... Thanks a lot. It never occured to me that what was installed to protect my phone was the reason to corrupt its software.
Uninstalled it and now its perfectly fine. Love my Nexus 4.

[Q] Phone with No Sound :(

My S4 is behaving weird today.
There's NO notification sound for my SMS, Whatsapp, Email and even phone ring tone. I tried calling out but couldn't hear the other party. I plug in the ear phone and also hear nothing...... Tried the Music Player and no sound to the speaker too.
I've rebooted the phone and everything goes back to normal.... for 2-3 minutes only. Then it's all NO sound again.
I suspect that it could be a software problem rather than hardware (since there's sound after I reboot but only for 2-3 minutes).
Anyone experience problem like this before and how do you solve it ?

What rom and which s4 you are using?

[Q] Low in-Call Volume after Rooting/Unlocking

Curious if anyone else is running into this... I am rooted and unlocked, running stock 183.46.10.XT907. I am on the 4.4 kernel as I rooted and unlocked from there and have not gone back to 4.1.2.
The volume is set at max using the volume key.
I've experienced the low call volume on Slim, CM11, and fastbooted back to stock to try to correct the problem.
Started in safemode, does not appear to be related to a 3rd party app.
Anyone experienced/overcome this or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Yes I to have noticed this with not only the in call (both speaker phone and non)but also YouTube haven't looked into a resolution not on the phone that much ... I've had issues with it pressing buttons to have you or anyone else...it's not an issue with the proximity sensor as the display is off...

I haven't had issues with the hardware buttons, but appreciate hearing I'm not the only one. The speaker phone and speaker have normal volume for music, it is just in call that it seems muted.

Tried everything but going back to 4.1.2. Took to cleaning the area, even though not visibly clogged or dirty, with canned air/paintbrush/vacuum and it made it livable. It's better but not what it was.
Anyways- I would go to cleaning it first if you run into the same problem, you should get a little of the function back.
