[Q] random notification sounds on G2 running CM6.1.1

I have a samsung vibrant, but my wife has the G2, so i haven't been following this forum too closely. I have a problem i'm hoping someone can shed some light on. I tried a search with no luck, so sorry if this has been discussed and/or fixed.
I rooted my wifes G2 for her a couple of months back and installed what ever release candidate was available for CM. After a while the phone had a few bugs that started rearing their ugly heads (as expected on an RC release). So when CM6.1 stable dropped I upgraded, but after a while the same bugs were still there and same with CM6.1.1.
The bugs that my wife and i have been noticing are the alarm doesn't vibrate when set to just vibrate, sometimes random notifications will sound but there will be no text or email (this mostly happens when playing slacker radio in the car), and sometimes the screen will become sporadically unresponsive when web browsing.
Has anyone else had these issues? I've tried doing all sorts of searches on google and here on xda but i haven't been able to find any thing about this. What should i do? full wipe? flash a different rom? trying to avoid that since its a huge pain in the ass to restore all her apps and texts.
Any help is appreciated. Sorry if this has been discussed, but i did try to search. also any suggestions on alternative roms would awesome as well. if it were my G2 i would have already tried them all. thanks!

Not sure if this will help but after I reformatted my micro SD card and copied all the data back to it, my G2 started making random sounds.
I went in and checked all the notification sounds and they were all set to default, I reassigned them the way they were before and that seemed to fix it...
Try it and see.

ok thanks. i'll give it a shot tonight. if that doesnt work i think i'll just do a full wipe and reflash...or try a different rom
thanks again for the response

[Resolved] No Audio in calls

Ok I'm not a complete newb but I can't figure this out and its been driving me nuts for over a week now...
SGH-1337M (Rogers)
Up until last week I'd been running the nightly builds of CyanogenMod and loving it, the phone was fast had lots of functionality then I did a nightly upgrade and my phone stopped working. Incoming calls would ring but when I picked up the call I couldn't hear the caller and they couldn't hear me. After much frustration I ended up flashing back to stock. This fixed the problem but the phone was useless as far as I was concerned for everything but making phone calls. It was laggy, I couldn't listen to music (it was staticy) and just generally full of all of the extraneous crud that Rogers seemed to think I should have on my phone. (I honestly couldn't suggest the phone to anyone who was going to run it as a stock device if this was how it came out of the box!)
Now On Sunday I decided to try again and after setting everything back to defaults I reloaded Cyanogen and at first it seemed that things were working properly... until last night. Again I got a call and when I answered it there was no audio.
I can't figure it out, I'm running the correct radio now after flashing to stock (I337MVLUAMG1) but I just can't seem to get it to work and stay working. Besides Cyanogen I'm only running two other "root" apps Fantastic audio installer and AdAway.
Any suggestions would be great, I just can't go back to stock on this phone...
Any ideas?

I think I have the problem figured out...
Seems like it was a combination of a bad build of CM and the "Fantastic Audio Installer"
Beware of compatibility issues with apps like this...

[Q]i9505 periodic no sound and mic problem

Hello,
i've found some threads here with similar problems but they all were a result of wrong baseband used after a custom rom installation.
BUT i bought a i9505 with stock 4.4.2 TW rom UGNG8 (not rooted). At some point i noticed that the phone loses sound and mic completly. Sometimes can take a call but with no sound, neather can the caller hear me, no sound from music/video player and no system sounds eather(not even with headphones plugged in). Everything goes back to normal after a reboot.
I figured it was an outdated baseband so i rooted the device, updated the baseband to the latest (UGNK4) and installed CM12. But the problem is still here. At random times the device loses all sound and only a reboot fixes it
Haven't been able to reproduce the exact moment when it happen as it seem to be completly random (gets really anoying when i need to take an important call and there is no sound )
I could really use some help with this
Cheers,
H.

Rule of thumb: If it happens across multiple roms then it is most probably a hardware issue.
I'd suggest flashing the stock rom back and see if it helps.
Make sure it's the stock rom for the country where the phone was initially bought.
For instance: If the phone was bought from Germany but you're using it in England, it is still a German version of the S4 and therefor needs the German version.

thanks for the reply, i will try the stock firmware, maybe i missed something in the process earlier, and post back the results.
cheers,
H.

Fixed!
ok, after a lot of trial and error i narrowed it down to a hardware issue. The headphone jack was the thing making all the problems. i tried cleaning it but it didnt help, so i removed it. Device works flawless now. Already ordered a new jack. :good:
So to anyone having a similar issue -replacing (or just removing) the headphone jack does the trick.
Cheers,

Incoming call ISSUE.

Hello guys. I have proble with my p7000 and incoming calls. Sometimes the incoming call just bug whole phone. I can't recieve the call and I have to put out the battery. It's really annoying. And also, I don't see who called me in call history. I've made factory reset, but it didn't help. Also I updated my firmware to the version 20150807 but this bug is still here.
Absolutely same problem has man on this video. /watch?v=c588Clm67ME
Please help me.
/Sorry for bad English/

I had the same issue, try the November update from Stock or the Miui rom (the new one, not the one created the day the phone was out), I didn't had the glitch with those 2. I'm trying to know from what that problem come from but I'm far from being an expert sadly. That problem is on all the stock roms except the first and the one from November. All the roms based on stock got that issue (even those based with the November update strangely !?) so I guess it's something related to the voltage or something...

Thank you. So do you think, that ROMs like cyanogenmod doesn't have this issue? I almost can't use my phone... Today it happened to me again, but not on incoming call, but on alarm clock. So it has to be something with sound/soundcar/voltage of reproductors or something like that.. I am not expert so I am not sure.

The best is to test it. First install TWRP then make a backup of your current rom then install that rom : http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-8425-1-1.html#.VlyDufkvdhF and see if that problem occur again. Personally I had no issue with the November rom for the P7000 so I'm staying on that one for now, even the root doesn't mess up anything... If that occur with alarm that might be a problem with the sound board/card then I had the same issue, when I get a call, the sound was looping, screen staying black, had to or remove the battery or long long press on the power button.
Hope that will help you !
PS : The november rom is here : http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9111-1-1.html#.VlyFPPkvdhE but you need a working flashtool for that one (you need flashtool for a custom recovery too anyway).

solved - cant receive incoming calls 4g'
I know this is an old thread but I have just had this exact same problem and after WEEKS of googling and determination I have found the fix to this problem..
I'm posting it because as I was googling I found that there are still hundreds of people experiencing this today.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION!
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone..
Then scroll down and you will see a small down arrow next to "Set proffered network type"
Choose LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (prl)
Also, you might need to check one other thing.. On the same screen go to top right ":" drop down nav menu settings shortcut and "Select Radio band" - do this if the 1st change hasn't fixed your incoming calls problem.. You can experiment with AUS, AUS2 or Automatic etc and try again.
I was about to throw this new Elephone S3 back to China but it's all great now
Hope this helps someone

Resolving Sound Issue with Custom ROM/flashing, Urgent!

Hi,
the problem first appeared after this ****ing oreo update, i hate lenovo/motorola for this idea. Sound call is not loud enough and changes. I am 100% sure its something with the ROM update/Software issue, not hardware.
100%.
So i tried my first custom ROM, i opened bootloader etc. pp. and it works, alltough device is unknown while booting (n/a), but ok- lineage and other roms works with some failure, e.g. google play compatibility of some apps ...
now i have this stupid oreo flash again, this adjusted one i think, i dont know. You said, i had to install it. I am not familiar with the correct name, but it seems correct.
no matter what i do, i have to INSTALL LESSER AUDIO , you know this app. you can change audio output from speaker to headset. and i allways have to switch the standard (Wrong) configuration , otherwise i can not phone.
system sounds works, but media and call is not working. After switching to speaker, sound is working, but it is still not LOUD enough. You get it?
Why is it, what is you thought and idea to it?
There must be a solution for it, and i guess you cannot solve it by flashing customs, but by adjusting this ****ing oreo in the first place or what so ever.
So the main problem is sound is soo quiet <---- THAT IS SO ****ING ... you need to change, i dont need an elegant solution. Just fix it, no matter what.
Please help .
Thanks A lot. David
