When I place a call my VZW LG G2 makes a tone to signify the beginning of the outgoing call. I don't really like it, but it's pretty harmless, so I thought nothing of it. When connected to my car's bluetooth the sound that comes over the speakers to signify the start of a call is absolutely ear shattering. Thankfully the first time it happened I was sitting in a parking lot, but it was very startling. I've gone through all of the sound, notification, and call setting menus. This wasn't an issue with my GNex, so I don't think the car is producing the sound.
Does anyone know how to disable this sound, or at least know which sound file is being referenced so I can replace it with an empty file (I'm rooted)?

Hello everyone, my Hermes worked a looong time very fine but now i cant hear the normal "beep" when i adjust the volume. Also i hear no conversation when i phone somebody. Alarm sound is off too. I hardresetted it once but it didn't help. The weird thing is: I can hear the ringing sound when i get a phone call?!
It looks like the other person can't hear me either, thats a bit weird because i thought this isnt a speaker but a microphone problem... Two components crashed on one day? WTF? Need help
I have seen this problem with a different htc phone.
their may be a bit of dirt across the miniusb contacts making the phone think it is connected to a headset.
plugin a mini usb cable and waggle it round a bit then test calling someone hopefully that should cure it for you.
I have a very very similar problem with my Vario II. The sound is VERY intermittent. Sometimes it rings but when I pickup there is no sound either way, from the earpiece or mic, the other person cannot hear me. Most of the time the phone just vibrates (set to Ring and Vibrate) so I know there is a message or a call coming...not that I can answer the call. Tried soft resetting it and even changing the ROM, only works for about 5 minutes then the sound is gone again.
The device only works as a phone with a blue tooth headset, the rest of the time it is just a PDA....that vibrates.
I just wanted to ask whether anyone else was having problems making calls. Sometimes when receiving or making calls I have the problem that the person on the other end is not able to hear me. I however can hear them perfectly and crystal clear. Is anyone else having this issue? The issue is usually resolved when I redial, but it's pretty annoying at times.
I'm on Vodafone UK.
The first call I made this happened to me, I think my head pressed against something to place the call on hold. The only indication you get that the call is held is a little pause icon in the task bar.
I've had this a number of times when the Hero has been connected to my Bluetooth car kit.
Even once its disconnected, I dial out and the caller hears me but I do not hear their ring tone or voice.
Turning Bluetooth off and then on again seems to cure it.
Random, does not happen all the time.
The Hero will also think its still connected to the car kit even after the car is turned off and I'm a long long way from it.
Same cure as above releases the 'connection'.
I've also noticed I get a pop up that says 'Bluetooth Headset Disconnected' when it was not or had not been connected for a long time.
Seems confused.
Hi there everyone.
I am a new user of an HTC Hero.
I have a problem on incoming calls or sms.
I leave the HTC to lock by itself and, when i have an incoming call or sms, only the screen turns on. I can see the number of the dialer who is calling me on the screen but NO ringtone sounds from the phone. The same problem occurs when an sms is received. No ring is sounded by the phone.
I have checked everything concerning the sound preferences and (i believe) that i have not left anything un-touched.
Can anyone please "save" me from madness???
Thanks in advance!
I can't say for sure this is what happened, but humor me for a second and check a few things:
Of course double check that your volume is all the way up.
When you use the volume rocker on the side of the phone, does it beep?
Do you have any music on it? If so, play it without the headphones plugged in. Do you hear the music?
When you turn speakerphone on during a call, do you hear the other person?
Do you hear any of these sounds using headphones? Do you hear people through the earpiece on a call?
If you don't hear any sound from any of the first few bullets, but you do hear things through the headphones and earpiece, it may be the speaker in the back that's broken. Again, this is just one possible cause, but I had it happen to me. I have no idea how to fix it other than to send it back to HTC or attempt to replace it yourself (I don't know how to do this and would not recommend it if you're not comfortable with it!). Thankfully, my phone fixed itself after a few days (well, with a little help, I accidentally dropped it on the floor from a height of about four feet, but again, I wouldn't recommend that!). Anyway, just a thought, hope it at least helps you diagnose the problem.
I find it quite strange that the phone does not allow to make outgoing calls when the keyboard is closed.
Because when you have an outgoing call you can still close the phone and the call will continue. That profs that it's possible. But with to much emission? If not...
Could there be some way overcome that that limitation?
The issue is that if you close the screen, the microphone is hidden.
Yep. The MIC is on the keyboard, which gets covered when you don't have the keyboard flipped out.
The issue is that it's even impossible to answer a call when the headset is connected.
Yesterday I was outside, it was windy and friend called. The headset was connected. I had the phone in my pocket and closed the phone while I was asking my friend if he might hear any differences in the quality of my voice.
He recognized no change in quality and we were able to talk just normally without problems. Does the headset has a microphone or is always the microphone of the phone used?
In any case, not being able to answer a call with headset connected without opening the phone is quite poor.
I would like to have an app to fix this behaviour. I don't like being patronized by Motorola.
PS: I just recognized that the headset has a single button for answer/hang up. Just the application for incoming calls does not have this feature which is still quite poor. Is the standard android (without motoblur) better?
Behind that 'single button' on the headset, there is a microphone. That's why if you have a headset(not to be confused with headphone), you can make a call w/o opening the phone.
However, as I've tested, even when the phone is closed, the MIC near the keyboard blocked by the phone's screen can still function normally(via Voice Search).
Since flashing 7.1 my sound goes in/out. Sometimes it's all audio, or sometimes just certain things. Right now I get audio in apps and when changing the ring tone volume, but when selecting a ring tone or notification tone, I don't hear anything. Sometimes the dialing noise works, sometimes it's doesn't. Rebooting and/or change my profile doesn't help. I tried changing the overrides in the profile settings and that didn't do anything either.
Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
So this only started happened after you flashed CM7? I had a somewhat similar problem because I replaced the back assembly on my phone and replaced the speaker in the process as the old was blown. Apparently, a screw had attached itself to the speaker and was keeping it from seating correct and causing audio to go in it out. In point, it could be a hardware problem and something is wrong with your speaker. Does head phones work, or the actual ear piece?
The speaker works because my phone rings when someone calls me, but sometimes the notification sound doesn't work when I get a text message. At this moment I still can't hear ring tones when I select them in the Sound settings, but it works when I get an incoming call. I know the speaker works fine. Phone calls work normally and if I play a Youtube video I get normal audio (but that didn't work this morning). It definitely seems like a software issue.
My phone was on unrooted Sense before 7.1 so that's all I have to compare it to, but everything worked fine then.
I found out if I switch from Default to Home profile, everything works again, but I can't figure out what in the Default profile is stopping the noise. I've checked everything 10x over.
wow i am currently having the exact same issue
Sound isn't working again. I only have one profile and yesterday I was getting sound with SMS, now I just get vibration. This is really frustrating. Anyone know what to do?
I really wish all the sounds/notifications were set in one place, instead of in the app, in the sound options, AND in the profiles. It's really confusing.
I think it's linked to bluetooth. If I use my headset for a call then turn off bluetooth, there is no audio on the phone (either speaker) until I reboot.
