No sound on lollipop? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Fixed problem by wiping cache from stock recovery
Anyone else flash factory image and now has no sound what soever? Completely clean factory image flash and no headphone or speaker sound. Only vibrations. Made sure everything was up all the way and tested on YouTube and play music and notification sounds. I saw one other person post they had the issue. So is it anyone who flashed factory image or everyone?

I have sound, but the button works backwards.

I was just coming in to ask the same question - no sound at all on my N10 on 5.0 factory image. Strange. Makes it really useful as an alarm clock, eh?

Fixed it. If you have the issue reboot into stock recovery and wipe cache. Works after that.

No sound on Nexus10 after upgrading to lollipop
I have the same problem as others with no sound from nexus 10 since installing lollipop.
I don't understand how you can do, what has been posted. Please can someone tell/explain how to do it.
PLEASE

I've tried following these instructions several times so far. Each time I get to the point where I'm pressing the power button to enter recovery, the screen goes blank for about a minute, and a "No command" message is displayed, along with a picture of a dead android robot on its back. The only thing I can do at that point is to hold down the power button until it reboots normally. I never see any option to wipe cache. Suggestions?

Mine did exactly same. Sounds worked after boot though..

My N10 with Android 5.0.1 will always cut off audio if I power it on with a headset plugged in. I just unplug the headset then reboot and wait until the desktop is displayed before using the headset. That's never failed yet.

When You see screen with android on his back (and triangle/exclamation mark), just one more step: hold Power button and tap Volume Up once before releasing the Power. A list of items should now appear at the screen. Now, you can wipe the cache partition (~10 minutes to complete).

Nexus 10 no sound

I need help. I wiped out the cache partition following the above instruction but unfortunately, still no sound. The only way I have sound is via my bluetooth speakers. Any idea what I can do next?

I ran into this problem a couple days ago when booting after a recharge, with 5.0.1. No sound coming out of my Nexus 10, no matter what I did. Simply rebooting the tablet fixed it.

Just restart phone
All I had to do was turn my phone off and on. Running Nexus 4 on Lollipop.

Cause of the Sound Issue...
This is what we know based on several trial and error tests. The issue occurs when you have the tablet plugged into a charger and unplug it. Not sure why the issue is caused this way but each time it happens that was the case.
Solution...
After charging your Nexus 10 you will have to reboot the device once to get the sound back. You could go in and clear cache although its generally easier for most people to just restart the device. Have noticed best results when the tablet is on then turned off and back on again as opposed to just turning it on from a dead state.
I know this is annoying and more of a temporary solution but it will get your sound back just the same until Google pushes out an update to fix the underlying issue. It is annoying having to reboot the device each time you put it on the charger but for the time being it works.
Hope this helps.

For me it also kills the front mic but the back one works. The solution of restarting fixes sound and mic for me.

So its not just me. Good.

Reboot With NO Attached Devices
Try rebooting your Nexus 10 with all connections to external devices detached and off. This means NO power supply, NO bluetooth, NO HDMI cable, NO headphones, etc.
You may need to do this a few times. This worked for me when no other remedy worked, and I tried everything.

Having a weird problem with my N7.

I was playing NFS Underground on my Nexus 7 (Running Paul O'Briens MCR) and I have started having a weird problem with it.
I was playing away (at work) and someone came in the door, so I switched the screen off, after that it wouldn't respond to me pressing the power button to turn it back on. (I was using Gesture Control to hide the Nav Bar also)
So I held the Power Button to Hard Reset it, and it still wouldn't come back to life, so I thought I should plug it into the wall to give it a charge, then try again! When I picked it up 10 minutes later there was a weird vertical static on the screen (a bunch of white dots on black background), and again it wouldn't respond to any input.
From there I have tried to Wipe Dalvik & Cache and reboot (same happens), I tried to backup my ROM and flash a fresh one, the same thing happens in the middle of a backup.
I have managed to start it a few times (and it has now managed to process all the apps after the Dalvik wipe), but as soon as it boots, it just re-starts?
Anyone have any ideas how I can get it up and running again?
Also one thing I have noticed (this may be related to an updated Bootloader) whenever I plug my Tablet into the Wall, it turns on automatically! It definitely never used to do that!!
This is driving me mad!!!
Cheers
Stewart
EDIT - I seem to be able to put it in bootloader mode without it turning itself off!
Going to try flashing back to stock!
Quick question, can I pull a file from my SDCARD partition using my Mac while in bootloader?
Moral of the story, don't play games at work :/
But on a helpful note to you, yes you can pull a file.
If it doesn't boot, I'd get TWRP and the mount it whilst in recovery mode.
From there you can push/pull files

Issue with power button?

Okay so I just discovered an issue with my power button.
I tried to take a screenshot but it just won't work anymore. Volume down + power just locks the phone.
Holding down just the power button locks the phone too. I don't get the extended power menu (for reboot, silence/vibrate etc)
Any idea what could be wrong? All this just happened randomly.
I'm still on stock, unrooted, 4.3
I don't want to root/flash it, and I'd prefer not to do a factory reset (backing up and restoring data is annoying) unless there's no other option.
you could download a third party app. Did you press them both together and with equal force? Did you try to reboot it?

I can't reboot it (without a third party app) because I don't get the extended power menu.
I'm a little scared to try a third party app in case it switches off the phone but doesn't switch it on. Then, with my power button not working, I'll be stuck with a paperweight.
I tried pressing them with equal force.
Could be a software glitch? Sometime my volume buttons stops working. After reboot the issue goes away. I am using PA rom 4.3.
Are you rooted? Using custom rom or stock? If rooted, download quick boot (reboot) by sirius applications limited from playstore. It let's you reboot your phone without using power button.

FIXED :
I think it was a software issue.
I held down the power button for 25 seconds or so and that rebooted the phone and now everything's fine.
Thanks guys!
For my part, I don't know what starts the issue. But I can't get the extended power menu with plane mode, silence and co AND turn off the phone either.
I have to do a hard reboot as well and it works again after turning on the phone. But after a while, all starts again and the only one solution is hard reboot!
If you have the same issue as I do, it will happen again... Sorry !

[Q] Phone restarts after call ends

The problem started a while ago, but lately the rate became unbearable.
I have an unrooted Nexus 4 running Android 4.3 stock.
The deal is that whenever a call ends, whether I click the red 'End' button, or the other side hangs up first, the phone reboots.
Instead of lightning up, what I see up on the screen when I take the phone away from my ear is Nexus X logo boot animation.
Can anyone help me diagnose what's causing the crashes? Is there any way to reach the system crash logs?

Reboot into Recovery and wipe cache and then reboot the phone to see if that helps.

Format /cache is done, I will keep you updated whether the problem solved or not.
Thanks.
As far as I can tell, it worked. Ever since I formatted /cache there was not a single reboot after a call.
Thanks

Phone optimizes after every reboot.

Why is my phone optimizing after every time I restart my phone. I'm getting tired of this. Why is it doing this? This is a stock rom. It comes up as a black screen with a white dialogue box that's says Android is starting...optimizing apps. Can someone help me stop this? This has been going on for about 3 days.
Did you do anything to your phone when it started, or did it happen out of the blue?
It happened out of the blue.

I suggest that as soon as it is up and running you straight away do a full back up with a product like "wondershare trans mobile" This will give you a full backup of all your data, apps,contacts and SMS etc.
When you have done that it's time to do a full factory reset using the Volume Down Button while pressing the Power Button this will show you the bootloader use the Volume UP & Down to select factory reset. then press the power button to select start.
When it reboots you can connect to your USB to your pc and copy back your contacts sms etc.
I hope that helps
Keep us posted as to how you do>

weird phone reboot?

so last night my phone randomly froze and rebooted into the command page with the little android guy saying no command. So I had to reboot system and all is well. anyone have this happen to them?
That sounds like you booted into recovery mode. Not sure if this can be done with a button combo or not. If you were able to boot fine, it should be nothing to worry about.
I believe once you see "no command" you can hold power button and tap VOL UP then release both buttons and you will see some options, one of them being reboot, which will go back into normal Android.
Yeah it was recovery mode and it did it all by itself which was weird but no its fine and I got the security update seems even smoother if that was possible
This just happened to my phone at the beginning of a phone call! I didn't know what to do, so I just held the power button down a for a few long presses and fortunately it rebooted. Seems OK now, but leaves me a little worried!
