Keyboard clicks went silent.. :confused:

Anyone out there having as issue where the sound from the keyboard clicks, unlock and lock sounds, and the dial pad phone calls went almost un-hearable??
I have no current mods to my phone just picked it up started typing and noticed i could no longer hear my keyboard clicks and went on to discover that many of system sounds were quieter.
The rings and other notifications work just fine though very odd this is not the first time this has happened to me with other android devices but typically either a battery pull or a quick reset resolves the issue but not this case.
Anyone with similar issues with a quick fix aside from restore??

I have noticed that when the battery get low sounds and vibration setting get shut off.

Please post questions in Q&A section.

Yep.. You can edit all that in the Power Saver Options. It also will shut down WiFi. Very Annoying.

well i thought that also but my battery was fully charged.

I noticed when I clicked things the clicking sound was randomly extremely low. I went to the sound settings and just played with em for a min and it went back to normal :/

sadly i tried all that stuff and i am getting extremely frustrated

Funny thing.......my htc keyboard wont let me turn off the vibe feedback.

Mine turns off just fine but I've seen that issue on other phones, don't know how to fix it though.

Theres a power saving mode your phone gets into when it reaches 15% or lower. This setting quiets your phone, takes off vibrations, and more thing just to save batt. life, u can change this is settings

No keyboard or unlock sounds after 4G uprgade

Just wondering if I'm the only one. I got my Xoom back from Moto the other day after the 4G radio upgrade. Haven't had much chance to play with it until now. Finally got around to reinstalling my Thumb Keyboard that I had become accustomed to before. I noticed there was no sounds on key presses. I went into the options and made sure the key press sounds were on, and turned its volume all the way up. Still no sounds. Double checked the Android settings to make sure all my volumes were up. They were. Still no key press sounds. I swapped back to the stock Android keyboard and made sure it was set to have key press sounds - still nothing.
After a bit more toying around I realized that while the Android setting for playing sounds on locking and unlocking the device is set to on,I'm not getting those either.
However, media plays. Music, videos, etc... all work fine.
So, A) am I doing something wrong? Is there a hidden volume setting somewhere other than the 3 in the Android sound settings section?, or B) did moto somehow screw mine up?, or C) is this a known issue post-update, and I just suck at searching the forums to find others with the same problem?

Honestly, I don't remember my Xoom ever making noises on key clicks.
It's not that huge for me, I would like it like the Touchpad has the clickity clack on each key press. But I have no recollection of my Xoom ever having it. I use the Swiftkey for Tablets keyboard though also so I don't know.

Did you ever solve this problem? Because my Xoom started doing this a couple of days ago. I've seen a few posts about it, but none with solutions.

Go to apps/all/android keyboard
Force stop
Clear data
Restart Xoom
Enjoy

I'm an idiot, but help me out. Phone won't go silent, volume won't drop below 1/6.

Hello all,
I've searched and can't seem to find anything on this.
My Nexus 4 seems to have some kind of glitch (or some kind of feature that I'm just not understanding). Normally I hold my volume button down to get to vibrate/silent. Now when I try to do that, it goes down to the first length but won't drop to vibrate. It simply won't let me. In addition, the phone's volume is really low, and google voice command doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong here? Or is there something wrong with my phone? Maybe some app is screwing with my volume?

hold power button to go silent/vibrate

Happened once on my roommate's. You have an app open that is also controlling the volume and won't let you turn it down. Force stop this app or reboot.

Ugh that's it. Problem went away as soon as I force-stopped the Netflix app. It's a wonderful concept but it's kind of a POS app.

[Q] When makeing a call

When I make a call or receive one while talking I notice different apps will open, usually beginning with the world clock??? It seems to be due to touching my face to the screen. Can anyone give me suggestions?? My service provider is Sprint, last phone was a G nexus never experienced this problem with that phone.

I noticed this too. I found out (personal experience) was that it has a ton to do with having a larger screen and not giving the screen time to turn off or pressing the home key so I wouldn't hit the dialer. My solution was a quick tap of the power key to turn off the screen and no more apps popping up.

Thanks', I'll give that a try, guess this must not be a big problem, wonder if it may be an issue with our phones, not all S 4??

There is a setting in my device/call to enable Turn off screen during calls. The only trick with that is trying to access the pull down menu while in a call. You just have to make sure you avoid the proximity sensor so it doesn't turn off the screen.

[Q] Help needed by ultra noob developer, Listener Service Screen On and Off

I'm working on a project and I need to know if it's possible to create a service that listen to the state of the screen turning on and off.
The idea is to create an action or event if the screen if turned on and off quickly several times by pressing the power button, IE: On, Off, On, Off = Action/Event is triggered.
The action/event is triggered only if the amount of times the screen is turned on and off is filled (2 times on and 2 times off as shown in previous example).
I've been looking for this but still haven't find a way to do it yet.
Thanks in advance, kind regards.

hi i have tried this and its possible to get it working by using screen on broadcast receiver. But you wont get the expected results.The reason for this is due to a slight delay in screen turn on nd off in most of the phones user can press the power multiple times before screen actually turns on.Turning off is little less buggy.

Well, I'm trying to implement a way to perform an action if the power button is pressed more than 3 times in a row... The main idea is, for example, press the button 3 or 4 times and the phone executes the desired action.
I'm sure there is a way to do this but I haven't found it so I focused on the "screen on - screen off" alternative.
