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
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium

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.

[BUG] Other person can't her me mid-call, mic gets muted

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?

Will try also. The only reason I haven't got rid of this phone is it mostly happens on o2 calls, I am on giffgaff which is run by o2, The op is o2! Hmmm
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

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
sound
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.

Right hand side headphone no sound on stock rom

Hi guys,
My N7 wifi only 16GB got problem with no sound on right handside headphone. I tried with several headphone and still no sound. So I formatted, data reset, clean install stock rom and still no luck. I'm attending to go service center tomorrow but I tried unofficial cm10.1 today and both left and right headphones are working again. Has anyone face that kind of problem and how to solve it. I appreciate every reply and advice.
Thanks!!!

I had the very same issue, I was running stock rooted 4.1.2 on my grouper and one day there was no sound in one headphone, external speaker worked fine just the headphone was weird. I called Asus and they said I would need to send it in for replacement. So i flashed factory images and unrooted and Boom! Everything worked again. That was like a month and a half ago and I haven't had any problems since. Not sure what caused it (sorry for that) but its gone now.

Thanks for the reply.
Last night I decided to go service center. So I flash back factory image, unroot and relock the bootloader this morning. Then everything working back. Now I unlocked, rooted and check again and everything is fine. Don't know what is the problem. At least I don't need to go service center now. Hope the problem is solved like yours. Thanks.

I have a similar problem but I don't know how to do what you both did.
My Nexus 7 is not rooted or anything. Three days ago I installed Blackmart Alpha and installed 2 applications with it, and everything was ok. The next day everything was still ok, without any sound problems. Last night, I tried listening to a song and it only produced sound on the right side. I tried different headphones but it was the same. I have read many threads so far on a few forums and this is the only one in which you have seemed to manage the problem (other ones were just to push the jack harder, that's not my case).
So far I have already tried doing a factory reset, but it still have the same problem. Any help?

Now I've found a way and I uses it everytime the right handside sound gone. Plug in your headphone and play a song with maximun volume for a few second. Then the right handside sound will come back Sometimes it needs to play around like unplug and plug again. Good luck buddy!!!

4.2.2 update made my volume much lower?

I just got the 4.2.2 update last night and I immediately noticed the volume when I am talking on the phone is much lower. It honestly sounded like I had it on 50%, but when I checked it was still at full. Is anyone else experiencing this? I can only confirm this issue on the earpiece volume when making a call, but its VERY annoying.

+1, the volume during calls is lower

Curious, do you guys hear a buzzing static noise from the phone while NOT on a call? Screen on or off, shouldn't matter.

Reflash the whole 4.2.2 factory image in fastboot mode. Downloadlink https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_zuNWpIf1ujTzFkUkF5OWdkUmc/edit?usp=sharing. That should fix your problems. Backup your files first as it will wipe the sdcard.

Is that a known method to fix the low volume, or is 4.2.2 just "tweaked" poorly by Google?

Thats a good point! However, before going through the whole wiping process I am hoping someone else can confirm if that method will actually fix the problem.

AW: 4.2.2 update made my volume much lower?
Hi, I also have a big issue regarding the sound respectively the equalizer. Its important for me to have the possability to change bass settings while listening to Internet radio. The app I usually use is yourmuze. The stock equalizer only works with Google play music, but not with yourmuze. I contacted the yourmuze-support, but they had no clue... I also tried different radio-players, but it seems, that other apps than Google play music are not supported. I tried CM 10.1, but same issue there. I also installed another kernel. I'm currently on stock (rooted) with awesame beats, which works only with Google play music. What the hell is blocking the sound options? It really sucks and I'll sell my N4, if I can't solve this problem soon. I use my phone as a musicplayer min. 1 hour per day. Could it be a hardware problem? I don't think so, because awesame beats works perfect with Google play music. Maybe one of you guys can help me?

Unfortunately I tried the solution listed here and that did not change the low in call volume I am experiencing since doing the OTA to 4.2.2. Does anyone else have other suggestions? It appears as if the volume "boosting" apps on the market are not compatible with JB. Am I out of luck here???

I too am unrooted and upgraded to 4.2.2 and have noticed the same thing as you OP. It is bad on speaker phone as well. To those that flashed the factory image via bootloader as a fix is it more because of the issues around OTA or because you suspect a bad flash? In other words, if I am going to go through the trouble of backing everything up and wiping, I may as well root and flash a custom rom/recovery. Any thoughts?

I applied the 4.2.2 update earlier and also experienced a noticeable drop in call volume. In fact, it’s been so bad that I can barely hear anything at all when I’m somewhere noisy, like a coffee shop.

Agreed, I have a hard time talking on the phone if I am on the street now since I simply can't hear the other person.....

BUMP, hoping we can get some attention to this issue.

Same here
+1 Volume is so low that I'm having trouble talking on the phone. Both regular and speakerphone affected.

Try this experiment. When in a call slide the volume to both extremes and then adjust to what you want.
After my update I couldn't raise volume, it was like it was uncalibrated. So I had it at 75% and when I went "up" the volume didn't change. By going all the way to minimum and back to maximum seemed to "calibrate" my adjustment and I can raise and lower call volume reliably now.

It's easy to go back to stock so don't worry about that. Does it hiss no matter what you are listening to? What about if you are listening to nothing and you raise the volume?
Are you thinking a custom ROM or kernel? What are you listening to and what app are you using to listen?
