Hi, all.
After Android 4.2 update I can barely hear any sound coming out of my N7 speaker. I mean, literally - I have to put my ear next to it to hear anything (but there is some sound, just really quiet). With my headphones the sound is fine though.
I tried resetting to factory defaults, but that didn't fix it. I tried using Volume+ for increasing max volume, but that changed almost nothing.
What can I do?
Hi.
Did you try a hard reset, as described on google support ? :
######
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power until the device powers on. You should see an image of an Android lying on its back.
Press Volume Down twice, until the screen says "Recovery mode."
Press Power to restart into "Recovery mode." You should see an image of an Android with a Red triangle after a few minutes.
While holding down Power, tap Volume Up
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.
#############
If that doesn't work, I (personally) would try to flash a factory image via fastboot.
If you don't know what this means or you don't want to do this, I would contact your reseller/google for a swap of the device, after you tried the hard reset above.

I'm not sure - does that differ from the factory reset that can be done in Settings? If not, I have already done that.
Well, give it a shot?

Huh? Not even close.. If the OP wants to flash an update.zip, he needs to...
1. With device held horizantally, power button on top left, turn OFF the device.
2. Hold down the Volume - button (left side of the volume rocker)
3. Hold down the power button.
4. KEEP BOTH HELD DOWN until you see the Recovery text in the top left corner. This appears a second or so AFTER the Acer logo does.
5. Do not let go too soon or you won't enter recovery mode.
My phone's battery died so i plugged it in and when i did, the bootlogo appeared for around 5 seconds then disappeared. This repeated for hours. I tried pressing Power+down for 10 seconds and this resulted in the screen turning off and the led flashing red. I tried again and this resulted in the bootlogo issue. After several hours of charging, results are no different. Phone is completely unresponsive when not plugged in. Please help.
UPDATE: Managed to boot into recovery and reflashed my rom (SOKP D801), but no change. Is this rom broken and will a different rom fix the issue? Also, i can't seem to enter recovery again. (Note: rom is discontinued by developer and website is gone.)
UPDATE 2: Phone randomly started working again for no apparent reason. To avoid the original issue, should I switch roms?
did you tried hard reset?...
If your phone is on, turn it off.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons, and then press and hold the Power button at the same time until the phone turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.
Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight "Recovery mode."
Press the Power button to start Recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark and the words "No command."
While holding the Power button, tap the Volume Up button once.
Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.
Note: If your phone becomes unresponsive at any point during these steps, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.
The button combination resulted in a hardware control menu, not recovery
There is a lot of info about key combinations for boot modes, but all of them are either incomplete, wrong or do not clearly state which button is VolumeUp and which VolumeDown. I want to clarify this in a small thread.
Put the tablet in front of you, so the power button is top left. Now we've got the following modes:
Factory Reset - Hold power and right volume button - works?
Update from sd/update.zip - Hold power and left volume button - works
Recovery - Hold power and left volume button - ???
APX - Attach to PC and hold power and reset button - works, display stays off?
Some people state that it is important how to set the the screen lock switch. Is that true?
Could someone please add the info which of the volume buttons increases and decreases volume?
I am not sure about the recovery mode. Does it replace the update mode if TWRP or CWM is installed?
