Try reflash? or (shameless plug) try my EC07
It's def not the SD card, I have a class TWO which doesn't skip. Are you using Music Player or Google Music?

Sounds like a memory issue. At least for turnimg the display back on. Does it sound like a respawn?

Mine has been doing this too. I don't even have to push any buttons sometimes. It's happened when all I do is move my phone. I know it's not my headphones 'cause it's done it without anything plugged in. I've tried the clean ROM and Nuckin's ROM
It seems to do that too when I touch the grip sensor......

Do you have the sensor on? I don't but it still does it
I'm not sure if this is related, but I've noticed sounds in general are messed up.....like when I plug the phone into a charger...the confirmation beep is almost never smooth and clean....there is static or distortion in the sound effect......my ringer too....really all the sound out of the speaker that I've listened to. It is minor but still annoying. I haven't used the MP3 playing function on this phone since reflashing recently.
but my sound issue has been around on all the EC07 flashes I've done

My sound for plugging in USB has been laggy since imnuts hacked kernel. But that has been the only buggy sound

I think I misunderstood what was meant by 'skipping'. My phone does something where it sounds almost like there is a short in the connection for a second. And before i switched to t1231's reclean, there were times where I'd have to reboot my phone to get my headphone jack to work at all.
Here is my question. And the point where i probably sound like an idiot. Could this have something to do with voodoo? I know the recovery kernel is no voodoo, but I wonder if there is some correlation. I really don't know enough about voodoo to call this anything more than an idea I'm throwing out to see if it sticks, but if anyone more knowledgeable than me wants to chime in on it...
okay its deffintly the grip sensor i just went back to imnuts stock ec03 rom and it does it when ever i touch the phone my question is, is there any way to completly disable it because i use my phone for music more than anything.
actually scratch that im an idiot lol you can turn of active grip sensor in the settings and now it dosnt do it near as bad.
I actually don't think it was the ROM that did it. I think it was the new hacked kernel imnuts put up. Before that kernel my phone never did this. And it skips even though my grip sensor is off
You know that kernal might be it none of this happened before but it shouldn't matter now after I went back to ec03

Even though I don't think all those who replied in this thread were describing or even experiencing the same sound issues, I have solved, it would seem, the problem I was having with some sounds sounding distorted, like when plugging my phone in to my computer.
I wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache trying to solve a different issue, and now my sounds are all clean and pure as they once were.
now its all sound videos will just freeze and stutter sometimes when i touch the sensor
okay so i was just curious i decided to go back to completly stock dl17 and unroot after everything got booted i tested the music and it dosnt freeze at all anymore only slightly skips when you turn the screen off but the grip sensor dosnt mess up at all. so tommorrow im going to reroot go back straight to ec07 and see what happens i know for a fact it didnt skip when i first tried ec03.
Hi,
in the last days with my S3 on every call I had which went for more than 1 minute the other person suddenly couldn't hear me anymore. Sometimes it happened after a minute, sometimes after 3 minutes, but in the last 4 calls it happened every time!
Reception came back after some seconds and from then on it was really bad, the other person had hard problems understanding me.
I searched around and found this thread of GNex owners having the same problem:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/472451-vzw-other-person-cant-hear-me.html
Then I found it in the Issues DB too
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019
Do you guys know more? it is really bad, since this is my business phone so nearly every call is an important one and it really bugs me out.
Anyone having same problems?
I hope someone can help me out.
Yes I have the exact problem. It's driving me nuts and I've tried different roms and kernels.

Have you tried to DISable the noise canceling feature?
No but I will try it and report back.
By the way I'm on stock LF6 4.0.4 in Germany (with o2 as my carrier. Unbranded. )
Is the noise canceletion buggy?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I've read that some kernels cause issues like this.
Also, in UK, in Birmingham on Orange, I have been having issues like this, and it usually occurs when the Signal Switches over from Orange to T-Mobile, mid call, and once onto T-Mobile signal, the call breaks up or goes quiet.
Maybe an issue switching from 2G to 3G or back mid call also?

just yesterday I again had the issue....and my noice cancelling was off...so this is not causing it....
I'm bumping this in hope someone has a cure.
The new rom LFB is not yet published for Germany but for UK. Perhaps it makes a difference? Can somebody in UK with LFB who previously had the issue please check?
Same problem, no solution
I'm facing the same issue. Tried searching for any possible explanations, but haven't found anything conclusive.
I've tried disabling and enabling noise cancellation and all combinations of the in-call options.
There are 2 or 3 main theories which I've encountered:
1. The microphone goes to sleep when the phone display does. As soon as someone seems to not able to hear me, I move the phone away and the screen wakes up. This seems to sort it out temporarily.
2. Someone had posted on FixYa indicating that they tried putting a small piece of cotton after removing the back panel just behind where the mic is. Haven't tried this!
3. Everyone else seems to think that a factory reset would set it right. I haven't tried this as I need to find a bit of time to do this.
Also, I'm wondering if flashing to CM9's RC1 or 2 will sort out the issue. I'm thinking that it has to be a software glitch. In fact, someone reported that they solved it this way (can't remember where).

Which ROM are you using right now?
Ihad the same issue on CM9 and got rid of it by flashing another radio. I originally had the xxlef, tried the xxlfb and ended up with the xxlf5 which works fine so far.
Try this for a fix
goto settings

Toggle on then off or off then on the screen lock sounds then try again :good:

Hey,
just so you know. I am on CM9 and I have kind of the same issue. Sometimes audio is unidirectional, both ways actually, unable to recreate it so far. What always seems to work is my bluetooth headset. Switiching between the two of them makes me lose audio entirely. I have tried many things, even rebooting the phone Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I'm guessing it has something to do with BT.
I am NOT facing the issue with losing audio in the middle of the call when the display goes to sleep. The display goes to sleep because of the ligth sensor, btw. - not because the system is idling The display is not needed once the phone realizes it's attached to your ear (lights off).
It's driving me nuts
BUT: CM9 is amazing so far. It's fast, it's open, everything works just fine. Except for the phone as a phone of course

Does CM9 come with an integrated modem switcher? I don't like messing around with "packages" too much. The more you mod everything, the less stuff has got to do with each other and it is more likely to run into trouble, because as a developer you can't really consider every side effect
So if this is actually about the modem (which I doubt, because the connection is just fine, it's just the audio output and input that is kind of broken) - what modem would I use with CM9? Can I just flash a random one over the current one?
Appreciate the advice.
Andreas
I notice that as soon as I take the phone away from my ear and the screen lights up I can again be heard... Wonder if there's a problem with the light off sensor affecting the mics too... It ALWAYS goes away when I remove the phone from my ear and the light sensor allows the backlight to come on again...
Might be a crazy thought but the evidence does seem to support this. I haven't turned off the light sensor in settings yet, if I even can, but was going to try next call...
I updated to BLG8 and I will see tomorrow if it happens again. Today I already had one call which lasted 11 minutes without interruptions. I will report as soon as I got more calls to test.
I had the same prob...
I just reflashed the official firmware frm the service centre.

It seems to be resolved.
I'm now on JB since today (XXDLIH) and will report if it comes back.
I got a nexus 4 but I noticed that its a mute...
No sound.. Even at the highest volume.
But the strange thing is when I unlocked it...and after a reset.. The sounds works for a few minutes and then the phone goes mute again.. I locked it again and the sounds returns again for a few minutes...
It not a speaker problem defiantly...
Any suggestions???

My Dad had a similar problem on his iPhone 2G once and it was to do with the headphone jack. Try plugging something into the headphone jack then playing some music before taking the headphones out then playing again. I know it seems weird but it worked for my Dad and it won't take long so it's worth a try. It's not very likely to work though because his iPhone was a solid 3 years old at the time and very beaten up, you probably haven't done similar damage to your phone in such a relatively short time period.

thanks for your suggestion...
tired but to no avail... i noticed this is most likely a software issue... as after a reboot ..sounds works perfectly for a period of time (30 sec.... 10 mins) then after that ... sounds goes off (playing about... going to settings etc...)... and the only possibility to fix this is to reboot..
this happens on stock 4.2, 4.2.2, Cm10.1 RC1, Xylon, etc..
can't seems to pinpoint the fault...it seems to go to mute... but the volume rocker still shows volume is on... and move it up and down does not solves it..
when plug a headphone into the unit, is it supposed to show a head phone is plugged in ?? i don't seems to get that..

I would reflash a factory image in fastboot, if that doesn`t solve the issue it may be a hardware issue that requires repair (relock the bootloader in that case).
BTW do you have sound with music, youtube etc?
I had a similar problem when i flashed the Sony sound pack ported from xperia z. Every single sound vanished from the device, even speaker and mic when making a call! Restored a backup and it has since worked fine!

If you can, flash back to stock and RMA it. This isn't a common or normal issue and you probably won't be able to fix it yourself that easily.

Hey guys,
Im running into this weird situation with my GN3, when listening to music through the google music player I get a massive volume drop when the track changes, or when i rewind the track or even just put it to a different part of the song.
heres a video taken with my wifes GN3
as you can see its a really drastic volume change. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled and tried shutdown and everything. My wifes GN3 doesnt do this.
this also happens when using headphones as well.
Basically is this a software issue or a hardware warranty claim that I should go to verizon for? This is a stock non rooted GN3
thanks for the help in advance!

So I went to Verizon to talk to them. Of course I get someone who doesn't know anything lol. Anyways she has me do a hard reset (lame) so I do. The problem goes away and I say ok. No problem if it comes back I'll be back.
everything was fine until this morning when I played with my music again.
The source of the problem is the equalizer. Hard reset puts the eq settings back to off. So this morning I turned on the equalizer and it did it again! I turned off the equalizer again and it worked normally again.
Needless to say this is weird. Can you are if this is the same with yours? I will go back to Verizon when I get a chance.

Mines been doing the same thing. Let me know if replacement went well, I may have to get mine exchanged too. It's VERY annoying, to say the least!!
Music Volume changing? (replace the EQ program?)
I _think_ I was having the same type of issue. The EQ in Google Music is an interchangeable app, so I am trying a different one which so far doesn't seem to have volume issues, but it's early yet. Apologies if I am misunderstanding the problem but I recommend trying a different EQ app from the Play store. You can have several but only one can be active at a time and Google Music will use it (when you go to EQ in Google Music settings whatever EQ app you have active under Settings > Sound > Music Effects is what opens).
I'm having the same issue. I'll be listening to music with headphones on and when a new track streets the volume gets cranked super loud. Is an exchange in order?
hoping it is software

I eventually started having the same problem again with the new EQ app. I disabled EQ and it hasn't happened since. I plan to live without an EQ and wait for a fix, hoping it is software.

I had this exact experience. I've had other issues too, an issue where my Alarm app crashes every so often, and where my phone (when I set it down sometimes) will become unresponsive (screen off) and not let me restart it without a battery pull.
I went to Verizon on 11/26 and had a Factory Reset, thinking that perhaps the recent OTA update could be the culprit, a reasonable theory. After the Factory Reset, the Alarm issue has not happened again (encouraging) but the unresponsive screen issue has (not great). The Music issue I have is the exact same, where in the store naturally it worked, but I hadn't though to turn on the equalizer. I have tried other Play equalizers to the same result.
I have since went back in (yesterday) to have them send me a Manufacturer's Refurb (I haven't Rooted yet), and will receive that on Wednesday (hopefully, if FedEx isn't lame). This will allow me to verify if it is hardware (or if i'm just unlucky and get 2 hardware issue units).
That said, i'll offer this: Today I tried uninstalling many apps I installed, just to try to rule out stuff, no luck. I tried then clearing the Data / Cache for Google Music, and then 'reverting' to the Factory installed version. The issue was gone (and the stock equalizer was on). I have since updated again to the current version, and the issue is still gone. I am wondering if there is a time component to it, and will keep checking.
I do have a separate thread going with all of my observations (i'd link but i'm not a real boy yet), called 'Note 3 - Alarm / Music Issues?' or something, feel free to add your thoughts if you want, and i'll keep an eye on this thread too for info. I want this fixed! (My Galaxy Nexus didn't have this issue...)
In for updates. Mine is doing the same thing.
I have the same exact problem. It happens when using headphones as well as streaming via bluetooth, so seems a software issue to me.
It hasn't happened to me in a while now (knock on wood). Only thing I can think of is keep all your apps up to date

Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately, as per the version at least, i've seen it present in the version that is stock/pre-loaded on the Note 3 as well as the most current / up to date version.
My refurb did not arrive yesterday but hopefully today, so i'll have a second unit to (ideally) confirm if it could be hardware or is more likely software. I feel I have seen similar reports of issues on the S4, so it is leaning towards a software / 4.3 issue, but i'm surprised that it's not more consistently occurring. (I have at least one coworker who cannot recreate the issue).
Any update on this?
Spotify does not have this problem... Has to be with the google play music app...
So, i was having some issues with the earphone i had bought recently, but having a few problems with the same brand sometimes earlier (microsoft really put up a really interesting choice with the low price and really good bass and sound quality for its pricing, but damn, those things had caused me two replacements in earlier models) i was considering taking it to the warranty and getting a new one, fine.
Then i got the moto earphone (had never used it, was in that plastic thingy yet) to get me through the day and i put the ms one in the bag, but when i started walking, the same problems appeared. The volume would get lower, sound getting distorted, and the song started to cut to the point it would recognize as if the headphone has been unplugged and i have to start the music again. i'm no expert but i think we've got some issues here son
I went to master google in search for answers and i've found that people have been having these kinds of issues since the first generation moto g, some even got a replacement and the jack would still come faulty, there were a major "consent" that the fault was the pocket lint inside, and cleaning it would solve the problem, but my phone doesn't have even two goddamn weeks, it didn't even had time to get dirty. (and i tried it cleaning, only a lil hair came out) I am currently listening to music, and it's perfect, when the phone stays still. If i start moving it around or mess with the connector, the issues come back again.
Does someone had this problem here too? found some solution besides the pocket lint thing? i didn't found any post here on xda related to that, and i really don't wanna send it ro warranty 'cause i need it really bad for my work, and i know it's gonna take some time in there, the problem can even come back...
Please, show me a light.

Moving it also distorts the sound to the point it stops. Normally this happens with detective earphones, but the jack is new to me.
I'm sure it's the jack, I just got new headphones too. What you can do is expand that contact strip in the jack inward, hence better contact? I haven't done this yet though

yea, it is the jack indeed... are you facing this problem too?
i tried pulling it out a bit, but no results. Some random "solutions in the internet tell to put something behing that first metal contact strip... it that so?
So I kinda solved the problem these days... I bought a tpu case, and it has stopped. I guess that the phone is too slim, and it keeps banging in the pocket, making the jack loose and stopping the song. Now the phone is kinda bulky, fits right in the pocket, I can even run with it and the sound is still perfect. Sad that I gotta use this case, makes the phone Hella ugly, but yeah, I solved the problem
If anyone is facing it, try this, might work for you too.
Fixed my problem
I'd just like to add that I also suffered from this same issue (to the letter, volume decrease, distortion and all). It happened once a few weeks in but now, a few months later, it was happening so often that I had to give up using headphones.
Well, here's the thing: I contact Motorola and they give me the old crap about rebooting in safe mode and testing, or doing a factory reset.
As I KNOW this is a hardware issue, I just go ahead and reinstall the factory image (I was previously rooted) planning to send it in for repair/replacement: low and behold: it's fixed. So installing the original firmware and going through the setup (but choosing not to reinstall all my apps -new device option) fixed the problem. I have no idea how this can be. Maybe an app made the phone react too much to slight disturbances in the connection? When I have time, I'll be restoring my backup to see if the problem comes back, and uninstall apps one by one (starting with the xposed modules and other root apps).
I've been using the headphones a lot in the past 5 days with absolutely no issues.
tl:dr OP's exact problem, what seemed like a hardware fault, was fixed by a factory reset.

As I KNOW this is a hardware issue, I just go ahead and reinstall the factory image (I was previously rooted) planning to send it in for repair/replacement: low and behold: it's fixed. So installing the original firmware and going through the setup (but choosing not to reinstall all my apps -new device option) fixed the problem. I have no idea how this can be. Maybe an app made the phone react too much to slight disturbances in the connection? When I have time, I'll be restoring my backup to see if the problem comes back, and uninstall apps one by one (starting with the xposed modules and other root apps).
I've been using the headphones a lot in the past 5 days with absolutely no issues.
tl:dr OP's exact problem, what seemed like a hardware fault, was fixed by a factory reset.

Now that was unexpected lol. Anyways, thanks for the reply, i've seen much of this kinds of problems on the internet, but none of it came to a conclusion, the posts die after sometime. I hope someone finds the answer in your reply.
So, i bricked my phone sometime ago and installed the factory image. i've been using the tpu case since it came, as i stated before, it has solved my problems (i think mainly because the phone get bulkier, fits into the jeans pocket and stop moving, so the jack isn't affected by any kind of movement and it works perfectly), but after you said that i recalled, there was one day when i forgot the case at home, and unaware of that i went working with the headphone and it worked perfectly, i just noticed i had forgot the case in my way home. I'll do some further testing without the case, but your solution might just have hit the right spot.

Did you, by any chance, have GravityBox installed on your phone when it was playing up? Also/or, where you using an unmodified ROM, as that's what I'm using usually (deodexed but stock) I've just restored my backup (that's rooted and has a few xposed modules on) and sure enough first time I touch the jack with music playing, it plays up (this time it triggered the voice command, which it did do some times). So I think to start by disabling GravityBox as that modifies a lot of stuff... Reboot, and the damn thing seems to work perfectly, I'm tugging and pulling at the jack right now and it's working perfectly.
I find it a bit too much to believe, and I don't want to lose GravityBox as that's a big reason I root.
One explanation I can come up with is that Motorola saw there was a problem and they fixed it in software, and installing AOSP or GravityBox that changes system files, gets rid of that software "fix".

Well, try to trigger the problem a couple of times with gravity box installed. I don't have it, installed xposed once and had major lag, stuttering and FC problems, then i took the ting off. Didn't test the jack thing, but i've never been a hard xposed user.
I really think my problem is hardware-related, but tonight i'll head home without the case and report back here.
If I am on a stock Moto ROM, I have the problem. When I moved to AOSP/CM based ROM's, I can manipulate my headphones without causing it to stop.. I think maybe the stock kernel is a bit too sensitive and stops it with just a little bit of disconnection vs a more lax implementation in AOSP/CM...
So I've ran my tests: climbed stairs, climbed down stairs, run a Lil bit, shake my hips (they don't lie) and messed around my pocket: no sign of Jack problems. I guess that flashing stock firmware again did the job, as you have stated earlier. I'm going to stop using the case and go jogging, or going more often to work listening to music without it, but after today field tests, I'm sure the issue is gone.

Just an update: I give up. I've tried multiple things, including almost bricking my device. I cannot find something definite at all. Installing a clean factory image (or a rom that has not been changed much) will get rid of the problem, even with root. However after restoring my TitaniumBackup of about 140 apps, the problem came back for a while. I noticed it after enabling MotoVoice, so I disabled moto voice and it disappeared, but then re-enabling moto voice didn't make the problem come back... And that is why I give up. I've ordered a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
I think that flashing the stock firmware again is the ultimate solution to solve the problem. After some tests I really couldn't trigger it again, so I guess that's the end of it
The problem is that the issue is so random I can't seem to find a proper way to trigger or to say it is 100% solved. I've read about it happening since the first generation moto g, seems like a hardware issue, but...
My headphone jack wont work properly when i insert the headphones into the jack completely but it works fine when i pull out a lil of the pin of headphones out of the headphone jack whats the deal its too annoying
