I thought this may be a good syndication thread for listing stuff that is buggy in the new Hero ROM (2.73.*) but worked in the old one.
Let me start:
- headphone jack issue - I didn't see this in the 1.76.* ROM, but now experience it full blown. Plug headphones in, sound redirects from speaker to headphones. Plug them out, sound stays redirected. Major PITA.
- calendar sync - not only is my Hero not syncing with Google Calendar anymore, it's also not displaying any events in the home screen widget, not even the local ones.
- sms widget bug - hit back button after opening a message and Hero cycles through your recently used apps instead of going back to list messages. I'm not even finding this one funny anymore.
- the jumping keyboard - switch from portrait to landscape with the keyboard on screen and it suddenly gets a life of its own.
- wifi disconnects and Hero goes onto HSDPA even with wifi "sleep policy" set to "never".
I've updated to the official ROM with a full wipe.
The speed improvement is not enough for me to live with those annoying new bugs. I guess I'll just go back to 1.76.* and wait for another update.
Anyone with similar thoughts and problems? Some additional, different ones? Let's make list and then just send it to HTC.
I guess it's only fair if you're running a 2.73 ROM, not something super-custom.
Running vanilla 2.73 and I'm not experiencing any of the bugs you mentioned. On the contrary, I had issues getting my Google contacts and calendar to sync with 1.76, 2.73 works flawlessly for me.
As for the SMS widget, I'm just not using it. There are far too many people playing with my phone on a daily basis, and I don't fancy them peeking at my private texts.
All in all, I'm more than happy with 2.73.

works without problems for me...
I'm using the modaco custom rom
I haven't noticed these bugs at the official 2.73.405.5 either...
Keyboard, headphones and SMS works just fine here!
Hi everyone,
I have some problems with the new one. When I log into the market, all it shows is the free app only. Also, the camera, on the previous version I was able to zoom in/out with trackball which I see much easier, in the new one I can’t do that anymore!
Also, I was able to custom a ringtone on my contacts list or groups, but the new version doesn’t allow me to do this too .
So, I am wondering if there is any way to switch between the new versions 2.73.405.5 to the old one 1.76.405.6.
Thanks

Zooming with the trackball indeed isn't possible anymore. But to be fair, zooming messes up your picture even more
On the first page of a contact (named information) I'm still able to change ringtones for that person only, I thought this was easier in the previous version but it still is possible.
As for the wifi, don't have any problems with it, keyboard acts normal to and my trackball isn't flashing 10 min after recieving and reading a text. Also as far as I know I haven't missed a text, huge problem on the previous rom.
Also I don't have the sms widget problem, it just returns to the widget as it's
supposed to.
I don't have any problems at all with the new rom, and the speed improvement is just awesome... Glad I choose My Hero over a Iphone.
Little note: using the official htc rom (not rooted) with a vodafone simcard (unbranded phone)

If you do a flick where the zoom used to be it comes up.but better than that if you press the screen it will focus where you press keep your finger there and it will take the picture.

My Hero syncs fine with google calender, and sms widget bug only happens sometimes or with some special order of commands which I dont use. Havent found the landscape keyboard to jump, but I dont really use it that often.
With the headphone jack unplug redirect thing, I dont believe this is a bug i think it is working as intended, or i hope so at least. THis is how it works on my ipod touch, it is good that the music stops when u unplug the headphones and it is really annoying otherwise to have to unlock the phone and stop the music everytime I need to unplug my headphones. I dont see how this is a PITA? It redirects fine when u want to answer a call.
Bluetooth fix
I was having a lot of problems getting my Hero to pair up with the bluetooth in my car(Honda Civic) it would pair once then even turning discover on , on the phone it would not pair up again, i have flashed the HTC rom update onto my Hero and it pairs everytime straight away, so we are getting somewhere with the Hero bluetooth, now just file transfer and we are away.
I am another that is not seeing any of the reported issues above. In fact I am very impressed with the new version (Orange v2 ROM).

Mine was weird. When I cleaned the whole storage for Calendar, Calendar Widget etc. it did work indeed, and then stopped again all of a sudden.
I've done another factory reset and so far, so good - it works fine again. I've noticed in the debugger (DDMS) that it now is accessing a different URL for my calendar, even though it's the same account as previously. No idea what's caused that, but whatever it was induced the WiFi bug as well.
The update did wipe everything, but maybe the key was do to a factory reset after updating as well? Dunno

Yes, that's expected behaviour, but that's not what I meant
Here's what I see:
- Plug-in headset, sound gets redirected
- Start playback
- Unplug headset, playback pauses
- Start playback
Now it should play via speaker, right? Mine doesn't. It still thinks the headset is plugged in.
Major PITA.
That's how it should look like (in the debugger):
Code:
DEBUG/AudioFlinger(38): setRouting 0 2 -17, tid 38, calling tid 64
INFO/AudioHardwareMSM72XX(38): Routing audio to Speakerphone (0,2)
DEBUG/AudioHardwareMSM72XX(38): rpc_snd_set_device(1, 1, 1)
DEBUG/HTC Acoustic(38): msm72xx_enable_audpp: 0x0007
That's what I see when the bug appears (which is 9/10 times):
Code:
ERROR/MusicUtils(3585): Headset 1:1, 1
I don't think it's hardware related since the OS notices that the headset was unplugged.
stock rom update here
i still have a stock rom on my phone ( the newest) and all above mentioned "bugs" work just fine for me.
the only one i have an issue with after the update is the switching between 3g and edge connections...
in my bedroom at home is the only place i experience this, but it doesnt seem to switch between 3g and edge very nicely at all, looooooong interuuptions and sometimes it just wont go, similar with wifi to mobile data connection.
and the camera is still sh!t. anyone out there planning on fixing this for us less fortunate, mildly retarded, people who cant fend for themselves?
i have never seen a camera in a phone behave so poorly in low light conditions.... any fixes out there for this?

Mine happens like this...
- Start Music with no headphones, comes out of speaker phone
- Plug in headphones, music transfers
- Unplug headphones, music pauses
- Press play again, comes out of speaker phone.
Not sure if you get the same as this, but for me this is perfect and not a bug, if I unplug my headphones I don't want music blaring out of my speakerphone for everyone to hear.
The only issue I've got is that my messaging widget only scrolls the first two texts, and I never use it anyway.
Other than that, love the update - fixed the old headphone / led issue for me

I've experienced some kind of lags at the beginning of a track at the music player. Dunno what caused this problem, but it came up after using the new update a few days...

Everything is working great for me including the calendar sync, etc but my wifi disappeared. It will no longer find networks no matter what I do and no icon on notifications bar
If anyone cares to chime in some ideas to try out? LMK. I posted a thread previously here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563068

Running the Modaco 2.2 version of 2.73, I do not get this problem. With both music player and Spotify, plugging in the headphones diverts the music to the headphones and pulling the plug sends it back to the speakphone.

Dave

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
The HTC P6500 model has a strange bug.
It turns down the sound automatically, but the indicators show that the sound is still on.
This happens under varied conditions and usage, at first I thought it had to do with bluetooth, but it is not isolated to when I'm using bluetooth anymore.
The software on the PDA is as follows (besides the preinstalled software):
- TomTom 6
- Afaria Client
HTC support simply told me to uninstall 3rd party software... And denies any knowledge of any problems at all. Any better suggestions?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Lars
Hi -- I've noticed this problem too, though it's only happened rarely. I think I'll see this happen once every month or so -- usually I'll catch it when listening to music or watching a video; the sound will just suddenly turn all the way down; the sound icon on the bar at the screen top will show sound to still be on, but if I click on it, both sliders will be at the bottom. A soft reset always takes care of it. And the problem comes up rarely enough that I've never bothered looking for a solution.

I had same problem and fixed after upgrading with latest ROM release from HTC
Hi, I'am new to Iconia Tab and not good with computers or tabs. I have this problem and it's driving me NUTS. Every thing i type, this female voice repeats what I typed. I can't find how to turn this off. I tried different key boards, I've tried different browsers, I've contacted help at Dolphin browser and they think if I turn off "Google voice" it will stop. But I can't figure out how to do this. I've been in every setting i can find and still no luck. I have muted the sound on my tab because of this. Please Help me because now I have a soundless Tab, Thanks
Sounds like you might have some sort of accessibility feature on. Try going in to settings, then down to accessibility and see what it says.

Are you sure it's not your wife or girlfriend standing behind you watching what you are typing? Sorry, couldn't resist!
I agree, it does sound like an accessibility feature that was installed...like Talk Back.
WOW thanks to both of you. I turned off accessibility in settings and the nagging stopped. All is good! Thanks again
My phone is not rooted. This just started this week. I have not adjusted any settings for quite a while so I am pretty sure I did not do anything to cause it.
Since getting my Note 3 in October I use the voice method of inputting text for email and sms quite often. When starting a message where I want to voice inpput, I click the microphone button and speak what I want to send. Works well for me. Thursday the phone started making a loud, very annoying, beep type sound whenever I launch this by clicking the microphone. It happens even when the phone is in silent mode. I checked the sound options in the phone settings and everything is set as it has always been. All system and keyboard sounds are turned off. I also tried another keyboard app rather than the phone default and it is the same with that.
Does anyone have an idea why this started and how to silence it? Thanks!
I guess this is not an issue for others here. I did find the exact problem on another forum and it started for him just a few days ago also. So maybe something updated automatically that caused this. We will see if more people start complaining about it. By the way we have tried a few different suggestions, including resets, but nothing turns off the noise yet.
0n edit: I looked at my apps to see what recently updated. One of the recent updates was to Google Search. I uninstalled all the updates to Google Search and the problem is gone. So it is a bug in the most recent update to Google Search that turns on that sound with no way to turn it off.
at some point of the day i noticed my notification sound no longer working.
I got all the msgs on my notification but with out sound.
turning off and on didnt fix. only the battery pull worked.
it happened like every once a day. some times I have to do battery pull twice a day.
I had this phone for a wk now.
anyone having notification sound issue?
even the turn off screen and on sound muted.
There's a few bugs, nougat is brand new, they'll fix things. My headphone kept buzzing one time until a restart
Its not just you. And I don't think its exactly something to do with Android 7.0
If you look at how your audio menu is when you change the ringer volume, you'll see that when the phone is set to vibrate, it actually MUTES the other two sliders.. it doesn't set them to vibrate. With that in mind, it seems more likely LG has a bug, than Android 7.0 having a bug.
Having this problem as well with my H910 (AT&T). It's very frustrating indeed. What's even worse is that it seems sporadic in nature, sometimes I will get a notification chime, sometimes I won't. As skyedream said, a battery pull is the only way to get consistent notification sounds, if only temporarily.
I think I get this too. Often I pull my phone out of pocket to find I had a text that I never heard.
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had this problem too yesterday where it was just frozen. Did a restart and all seemed ok after. First time that happened.
This happens to me as well. Also, I will get double notification sounds at times. Like an echo. Or, a different sound mixed with my selected sound. A reboot fixes. Have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying.
No sound for notifications + no web video playback
I also have same issue with notifications. No pattern on what causes this, but a reboot gets rid of this (just for sometime! and the problem is back). I have also noticed apps not working smoothly and unable to play web videos including from Youtube app and Facebook App. Overall, tad disappointed with the software quality on this set.
Phone notification vibrate shuts off all other notification sounds

Good call, thanks! I also notice that even though I have Sound Settings-Volume-Touch & Feedback sounds Off, I still get haptic feedback vibration on keyboard while typing this reply to you. It goes away when I go into Sound Settings-Vibration Strength, & turn slider off for Vibrate on tap. The Settings software isn't connecting the overall Volume Profile with the Vibrate Strength settings it seems. I don't know enough to know whether this is Android or LG. Under Vibrate Strength you can control notifications too, though haven't yet tested. Hope this helps til it gets fixed.

I just tested texting...even though on quick settings slider notifications for text are grayed out, while call setting show vibrate only, in the full settings menu, under Vibrate Strength, you can slide the vibration strength up...I did this, sent myself a text, and phone vibrated the notification. I think it's messed up that I can't shut my call notification off completely, including nvibrate quickly with volume key or quick settings. Have to go into full settings menu sound & select silent. Please fix this Android/LG.

I experience the same as you. I usually clear regents and then hit restart and all my notification sounds come back and videos. I'm just wondering, are you using any type of ad blocker? I use the ad block browser and I've noticed that whenever I open my browser, that's when my notifications get muted.
Issue resolved after update
Hi, looks like this issue is resolved with the update I got in January 2017 end. But not sure what caused it to fail in first place. But as of now, all is well after the update. Cheers!
I still have this problem over here on T-Mobile. Very annoying.
Anyone ever find a fix? Having these issues on a new LG V20 US Unlocked connected to Verizon.
Bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution to this. My V10 started muting notifications when the ringer volume was set to vibrate on one of its later updates. I figured it was a glitch in my phone since I didn't see anyone else complaining about it. This was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade to a V20. I was pretty surprised that it did the exact same thing and it's apparently by design. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea?
I'm not sure of the cause, but I had many calendar reminder alarms fail to sound over several days when I got this V20. I tried different calendar apps and ended up with one called aCalendar. It works OK most of the time, but there is still a serious issue. If ANY other kind of notification happens to sound right when a calendar alarm needs to sound, the calendar will NEVER sound its reminder notification for the alarm. I've had this happen several times with incoming text or social networking message notifications. I hear those, and then the subsequent alarm that should have sounded concurrently is silent. I've had to set 2 reminders for the same important event, spaced 10 minutes apart, to try to reduce the odds of this issue hijacking an important notification. I've not seen this exact problem ever before on any Android device. My US Unlocked V20 is 100% stock. No idea what to do about it. But from what I can glean online, neither LG nor Verizon plan to push any future updates on the V20, so we're stuck.
For contact selecting unique notification tones that actually stopped working
I got this LG v20 and I loved it...still do....but... how do I keep certain text notification tones thst i select to not change back to default?...on its own? Crazy. I use zedge ap to download ringtones n notification tones. Maybe there is an issue there?
@Dkb123,
If you could please add some punctuation to your post, it might be easier to read so someone can understand your problem and help you .
I am using a rooted HTC One m10 with Viper ROM and am having the same problem. Echos notification noises, turns off alarm and notification sounds, and it is beyond annoying. I have already had to reset it twice to try to fix it and nothing has worked. I have no idea what is causing it but when I try to open my alarm app it says it was disabled and could have been caused by a system time change (which didnt happen) or battery saving (where I have it whitelisted). I will try disabling my ad-blocker. I'm not sure how those things could be connected but since it was suggested I will give it a go. I am consulting all of the developers I know about this but so far nobody has an answer. I am kind of starting to freak out because I need my phone to work. I have 3 kids under the age of 6 in school and need to know when someone has to get in touch with me. Before the last reset, I also saw that when my notification was disabled and I went back in to reenable it, it had been switched back to the sound I had selected the time before that. One more note. When I go in to check my notification noises, all of them, my ringer, notifications, and alarm, are all blank for about one half second before they repopulate and then show the correct tones. If it were as simple as it being my ROM someone would have posted it on the thread because it is a pretty big problem to have gone unnoticed. Is it possible we are all running an app or have a shared setting that is causing this to happen to only us. I had to dig pretty hard to find this thread in the first place. It might help if we posted a list of our apps, what do you guys think?

Hi. You posted this in the wrong area. This is for the LG V20. Try searching the HTC One M10 area for a solution. Someone there might be able to help you.
