Phone always muted randomly - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I have a Defy + green lense (in fact it was a defy but I flashed a wrong sbf), and I'm on Quarx's latest 4.4.2 rom.
I love everything about the rom but my phone goes mute randomly, but it shows it wasn't mute yet it has no sound.
When this happens, my alarm clock doesn't work, I don't hear people calling. Sometimes I can hear the call but we can't talk through the phone, both of us are muted in some way.
Is there any fix or rom that doesn't have this mute problem, as I hear it's a known bug existed for a long long time and it seems it can't be fixed?

It happens quite often when bt is already disabled. But I do use bt headphone a lot as well. Nevertheless, I always turn bt off after use. The phone is still muted regardless.
I have to connect to my bt headphone again and dc it to unmute my phone, otherwise I have to do a reboot.
I heard some rom has solved this problem but we can't for defy? Or most think it is not annoying enough to start finding a solution.

I noticed that when I was still using a stock ROM, im currently using the stock tweaked which is found on the development section, its like a static or white noise on or before a sound is played via the headphone jack. Its pretty annoying, my galaxy note also had the same problem.

leaking? i think that is a feature of the phone to notify you of any incoming sms/phonecalls/emails/etc..
this is NOT a bug, and of course if you put your phone into silent mode this will not happen
Didnt he mean the static sound that we can some times hear via the headset out when say tapping something on the screen or even by just browsing the gallery coz thats how I understood it lol!

hmm well you try it yourself if this not only happen in my tab your's will also happen so basically when you put the headset in all sound supposed to be in your headset... but in my case the notification sound will not play on headset but instead leaking out with the sound of music that i played (in my scenario i put headset to listen music )

PolishVodka's CyanogenMod 10 RC2 - phone calls bug?

Hello everyone,
I've just installed JB CM10 RC2 by PolishVodka, ROM works fine, but i can't hear the voice of person I call. I have also flashed all fixes included in main thread, but it does not solve my problem. Of course before installation I have fully wiped my phone via Recovery (latest verion), resized partitions etc. On GB/ICS roms I haven't noticed this problem. I would like to use this JB rom as my daily, so please help me!

Would you mind if I post about PolishVodkas rom here? My problem may be somewhat related to yours: the sounds (except music) are always on the speaker, even if headphones are plugged in. ANd when there is a call incoming the phone behaves like headphones are unplugged and plays all sound through speaker, thats mean music AND the ringtone of icoming call.
If this rom werent so fast and stable I would just forget about it and flashed something else, but I really would love to stay with it. PolishVodka - hope you read it.

You're welcome, P.G.R I have reported my problem directly to PolishVodka . He told me, that some users have encountered described problem with phone calls, but on his phone everything works fine, so it's pretty hard for him to find the source of this bug. Anyway I have good news - during the call let's try to set the volume higher or lower by +/- buttons. I've done it once and problem disappeared permamently I haven't tested headphones, but maybe this little PolishVodka's trick solves all sound problems

Good, but, meanwhile, Ive returned to AOSP2 and it is super fast, its weird that no one uses it as a base for their 2.3.7 roms (most seems to base their work on SDSL, which was always too "jerky" for me...)
That explains why I got no sound while I was getting called.

Earphone problem with Viber and Tango

Hello,
I have an issue that i'm having when i call people with Viber on my Google Nexus 4. While using the phone speaker or the earpiece i hear the voice of the person i'm speaking with clearly without any audio buzzing but when i use the earphones, i'm hearing a background buzzing even before the connection is established with the person while it's still ringing. I also have a Bluetooth headset and it's working perfectly , this issue only appears when using the earphones . I've also tried different earphones without any success.
Does anybody have the same issue ?
Thank's
Can anyone try to reproduce this issue on his phone please, so i can know if it is a hardware problem and eventually send my Nexus 4 back to google for repairing.
Thank you.

Known issue. You probably buzz all the time. Search earpiece buzzing/crackling.

No it seems finally to be a proximity sensor problem because i was able to reproduce it with an application which turns off the screen even when not incall and the buzzing appeared while listening to music !!! It was this topic which made me "smell a rat" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129140&highlight=proximity
Then i decided to disable the proximity sensor since it will solve my problem and still i can use lock unlock during a call, so i tried the build.prop solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626611 without success
and then i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658474 without success too.
Any idea please to help me solve my problem ?

Call Waiting Kills Bluetooth

Ive been having a problem when I am on a call using my bluetooth headset.
If I get a call waiting coming in, it will take me call off of bluetooth and suddenly audio switches to the handset.
The headset icon on the dialer is still lit as if its connected, but the audio is not through the headset.
I then need to uncheck the headset icon and then reclick it, which gets the bluetooth audo working again.
Obviously not ideal, especially when Im driving.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes. It used to work fine.
Then a couple of months ago this started...I will be speaking with bluetooth headset not problem, a second call will come in and the call waiting will automatically disconnect the bluetooth.
Interestingly, the headset button on the dialer is still lighted, but no audio through the headset. I then need to click the button off and on again, and it resumes.

One thing you could try is unpair and re-pair the headset in bluetooth settings. And if this still occurs, you can always do a factory reset (painful though).
Did you ever solve this problem? I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 that has a rooted stock ROM and started experiencing the exact same problem this week. I use my bluetooth headset several times per day and before this week that problem never occurred. Now call waiting beep causes the bluetooth to disconnect even though the headset soft button is still illuminated to show that bluetooth is still active.
