I had this problem when I installed a leaked version of 2.1 on my eris! No sound, and can't hear who is on the other end. Have to reboot in order for x to act like a phone. This happening to anybody else?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Theres no known issue that ive heard of with people losing their sound completely.. are you currently using either of these 2 options:
Double-tap to Silence -or- Smart Profile -Face Down to Vibrate
if so that may be the cause. These 2 are know to cause problems with both ringtone sounds and other issues. The only fix is a complete wipe to factory defaults.
Another thing it could be is... are you using a restore program to restore all you apps after upgrading to froyo?? does this program also restore system settings?? Maybe it faulted some settings.. If so, then do a factory reset and dont use that program.
just my 2 cents.
Same problem Here!
It only works for the first call. The next one will have no sound. Have to restart the phone to use it again.
The problem persists even if I use it in 2G only mode
This has happened to my phone only twice. It's like the earpiece goes out. The rest of the phone works fine though. Only solution I've found is rebooting.
My rooted EVO 4G running baked snack 1.8 is having the following issues, and they seem related as they started happening at the same time:
Cannot change headset volume (when volume rocker is pressed, graphical slider moves, but audio stuck at a low-to-medium level)
Car Mode launches sporadically without reason, even when phone is locked (had to turn off "auto launch" to stop it from popping up...it's as if the phone thinks it's being plugged into a car dock, which I don't own)
When sending/receiving a call, the external speaker turns on, I have to shut it off each time I answer a call (SO DAMN ANNOYING):
SOME MORE INFO:
This all started happening at once while I was walking down the road listening to music on my phone (i.e., no software was downloaded/changed)
I have done a nand restore to a previous point where there were no problems and the issue persists
It's not because of baked snack. This happened to me once before when I was running the stock ROM, but one day it just suddenly fixed itself. But it's been weeks and I'm tired of it.
ANY IDEAS??
auto speakerphone
I'm having the SAME issue with the speakerphone...
Almost got into BIG trouble today when called for an interview WHILE AT ANOTHER JOB!!!
PLZ HELP! I'm running Vaelpak ReMastered 3.0
I FIXED IT!! Just yesterday actually. If your problem is the same this might help you too...
First: Are you running a custom ROM like baked or fresh?..
I was running baked snack 1.8. I figured this was a hardware issue from the start....This problem became REALLY obnoxious so I finally decided I wanted to take the damn thing back to Sprint to get a warranty exchange. But, in order to not void my warranty I had to unroot the device (obviously). So here's what I did:
[link got crushed, I'll give you my email if you want the link to the 2 Step Unrooting Method]
That's a two step method to unrooting the EVO. I followed it to a T but ran into an issue: For some reason if flashed the S-ON file and THEN flashed the Stock RUU provided (as the directions TELL you to do) it would give me an error message that read: "Failed! Main Version is Older!" ... Try it their way first, and if you have that same problem, do this:
Run unrevoked in order to turn S-OFF again.
Put the PC136IMG.zip on the root of your SD card
Boot into Bootloader
Your S will still be OFF but at least you can flash the original image to back to stock (which will give you the chance to see if it's a hardware or software issue). Once I did this, the problem was resolved!! So, I got antsy and reflashed Baked 1.8 on the phone, and it worked perfectly until about 15 minutes in when Car Mode activated and calls were suddenly going automatically to speakerphone again. I was pissed. I assumed, once again, a hardware failure.
SO! Just to confirm, I reflashed the stock image AGAIN, and left it there. I've been running the phone for 24 hours so far and it lets me adjust volume, doesn't go into car mode, AND best of all the calls start (and STAY) on the internal speaker as they should.
I'll update if the problem comes back again, but it doesn't appear that it will. I still have S-OFF, but i think i'll stick with the stock image for a while considering the problems baked snack gave me (or so I hope).... Let me know if you need more help.
I just flashed myn's new ROM and car mode does the same thing to me! It's starting to make me so mad!
I'm running CyanogenMod 7 - Typhoon 3.6.3 - Magldr and everything (from what I've noticed) is running fine except I'm experiencing rather strange problem with the sound where when I put the phone to silent mode, and back to normal, no sound can be heard (sms or calls)
I've tried several times to go back and forth between normal and silent but no go. The only solution I found is to reboot the phone which is kinda annoying due to often meetings and boot time.
Since I'm a noob here, I'm not allowed to post in the correct development thread :/ Maybe someone here can help?
Thanks.
Seems to be fixed
Okay, since my last post, I've upgraded to 3.6.4 and the problem seems to be gone - for now.
I've tried putting it to silent and back to normal and it's working fine. Will see in the next few days if it's gone for good.
Hi guys
I recently bought an OnePlus 2. With the original firmware, I experienced a very strange and very annoying issue: My screen randomly turned off (e.g. during a chat in WhatsApp). The screen turns off and I have to turn it on again by pressing the power button. Then I enter my PIN to access my phone again and it locks AGAIN. This happens like 10 times in a row, then I have to reboot the phone and it was OK again. I seriously don't know what triggered this issue.
However, recently I got pissed of because I tried to call one of my customers and as soon as I entered my PIN and tried to open the phone app, the screen locked again and I almost threw away my phone. Damned troll.
So I decided to try another ROM as I thought it was an OS-related issue. Now I'm running Exodus Android 6.0.1. I did a clean install and guess what: The issue came back on this ROM...
In my opinion there's only something both installations (my previous 5.1.1 stock ROM and my current 6.0.1 ROM) have in common: I've been using XPosed with Amplify, Greenify and XPrivacy. Other than that, I have no idea what it might be.
Have you encountered the same or a similar issue? If so, were you able to solve it? How did you solve it?
I just uninstalled Amplify, as I think it stops somehow the Gyroscope service, that's why it locks randomly. I'll check if the issue appears again...
I think I have good news for you guys: I guess I was able to locate the issue.
I noticed it always happened when I was holding the phone in the hand I had a ring on my finger. Then I found out the phone has magnetic sensors (for flip covers).
I downloaded the Xposed module "Magnet Sensor Control", the bug hasn't appeared so far!
I hope I was able to help you guys with my findings. This thread may be closed now.
Hey guys! I've seen a few threads on this exact issue, but I haven't been able to find any real advice. So a few days ago I updated my Moto X Pure to the newest security patch. A day later the nav keys started to not respond to touch. Occasionally they work but most times they don't. Is anyone having this same problem? Do you know a fix? Thanks!

Did you factory reset? It is not the optimal solution as it takes time, but a reset dues fix the majority of issues phones have after an OTA. If you still have problems after this report back. I did the factory reset immediately after the latest OTA and had no issues. Android practically restored nearly everything app wise. All I had to do was wait it out.
FR does not work
I have the same problem, just did a factory reset but still not working, is weird to find out that is not a touch "hardware" fault, since I got into the configuration I am able to tap the next and backs buttons also the mic icon and camera works in the locked screen, the problem is only in the "Home bar" or soft key bar i don`t know the name. If someone had a solution please share.
I am also having same problem in my moto x style..

I am also having same problem. So I take my phone to moto services centre but they are also failed to resolve this problem..
Hey! So, give this a try:
Install Nova launcher, then on the home screen long press and click widgets. In the widgets section, at the top there should be an option called "Activites" long press and put that on the home screen, then it should ask you which activity. scroll to the "S" section, and select "Setup wizard" and then select "SetupWizardTestActivity".
Once that wizard is set as a widget, click the widget and go through the wizard again, and see if that does it. It did it for me, on many occasions haha
Hi, I am also facing this issue. I did the Nova launcher steps, and it worked for couple of days. Then, the same issue happened. I did factory reset of my phone and now i can't configure the phone as I can't get past the wifi selection screen. Stuck with this.

As in you're stuck in the setup wizard? Do you have root by chance?
I'm having the same problem, nothing works :crying:
So it is not just me, wow!
2 days ago my touchscreen started acting out, now I have a deadzone at the navigation bar. I've been using my phone upside down, if anyone has been through this and fixed it please let me know.
Guess what!
I just did a downgrade using ADT so I flashed my Moto X Pure to Lolipop to validate my theory but no success.
I can said that the touching problem is a hardware issue and not a software like I was thinking.
Why is this happening, IDK but let me ask you if you did the same "ordinary behaviour" like me.
The day my Moto X starts to get like crazy getting ghost touchings and ghost slidings I was having my cellphone in my back pocket and driving my motorcycle mid trip 3-4 hours.
When I took my phone out to take some pictures I got a hot phone and the touchy doing crazy ghosty responses.
I turned the phone off but when I restarted like a minute after the ghosty touching was persistent, turned off the phone again and like an hour latter turned on, no more ghosty touches but the softkeys ( back, home, tasks) stopped working.
I read before that for some tablets this is caused by the protection case and they removed the case and worked again, well is not my case since I have not any case attached to my phone, but seems to be some bad pressure in some part that damage the touch area.
Please share your comments if you applied some pressure like me sitting in the phone, for me is a "ordinary behavior" (having my phone in my levi's rear pocket) but for Motorola seems too much.
this happened to my phone as well "After a Security Patch Update thru OTA" and navbar stopped working the Other Day and I guess we shall wait for the Next update to by MOTO "ANDROID NAUGAT 7". but for Now I use simple Control navbar from Play store Until The OTA update fix the problem.
on Lock screen mic and Camera shortcut works Properly so is the software issue....
I'm trying help my friend with her Moto X Style. It has the same problem and I could test the screen with a screen tester. And works fine all touchscreen. Apears that programing for buttons was missing.

Just happened to me as well with a Moto X Pure - was driving in my car, security updated...buttons stopped working and have found zero way to get them back. They work when you flip the phone upside down, also work when the phone is locked to drag the camera or microphone shortcuts up, they just dont work on the 200x1080 pixel bar across the bottom.
-Uninstalled all "Screen Overlay" apps - nothing
-Boot to recovery and wiped cache partition - nothing
-Factory Reset the phone with Auto Restore - nothing
-Factory Reset with NO Auto Restore - nothing
-Factory Reset and 100% setup as a new device - nothing.
I cant believe there is no fix for this yet? How can a company rollout a security update that for the most part makes the phone very unuseable, cant even seem to see that they have addressed this.
No issues with mine and I am running the Dec patch.
Almost sounds like it was a corrupted OTA release. It could have been a server issue or whatnot. Call Lenovo/Moto support of the touchscreen is working in the navbar area but the navbar itself isn't. It is worth a try even if out of warranty. The worst they can say is they can't help.

I installed a custom ROM with your OWN buttons and saved that device.
I Installed a Resurrection Remix on her Moto X Style, the battery sucks, but the device is working.

Nope, so far there is no video you youtube, no actual fix on any forums or no actual working solution whatsoever. This is ****ing pathetic, Motorola a Fortune 100 company released a security patch that clearly effected a small percentage of their phones. They have not addressed it or even offered to rush another patch that ADDS BACK IN THE PROGRAMMING for the 200x1080 bottom bar.
That is the problem, someone on a thread I found had dissected the patch, and the line for "Program; TouchPoints x200x1080 were just missing"
With this being more than just a few hundred phones, one would think they would actually try to assist. NOPE
Currently using a SoftKey App on the side of my screen, never buying motorola again after this type of blatant disregard for customer support.

Same problem here. Today morning, my 2015 Moto X Style just stopped working (the buttons). I did not do any update or install anything. So I do not really understand what you talk about here - it was an automatic whatever from Motorola that broke all the phones? That's ridiculous! Like a virus
I'm using the old Android Lollipop BTW - anyone knows if this issue remains on the new system? I never update due to serious slow down after it. Both Google and Apple are complete assholes when it comes to updates. So I've just been ignoring their "brand new awesome cool all is gonna work releases"
I've been a proud Moto user for years now. This is just unacceptable. They're gonna loose big with this one.
If you would do a factory reset after flashing the newest major rom releases it would be plenty fast.
