Hello everyone,
It's been 4 weeks now since I own the HD2. It's quite a beast, I love it. Except there seems to be an issue with my device when it comes to sound (anything: mp3, youtube, ringtones, alarms, even the sound played when you take a photo): it crashes. No matter what I do, no matter when (idle or in use), it makes it crash.
I did the test and couldn't have the phone being used with sound in the same session for more than 4 hours in a row, or it would crash. Sometimes, after a fresh reboot, the first incoming message, leading the phone to play a ringtone to tell me I got a new message, would make the phone crash. Instantly (sound wouldn't play at time, or just the first half-second would play and then nothing or infinite replay of the first 0.5 sec of the sound - quite annoying btw).
So I move to vibration only. And tada! No more crashes. The phone has been up for more than 160 hours now and it never crashed. I used 20MB of my data connection, sent 55 SMS, received tons of emails (like over 200), used the phone functionality for about 150 minutes and everything works fine. Took countless amount of photos and everything just works.
BUT! I miss the sound! I want it. I can't use the phone as an alarm when I'm on a business trip! I can't hear a ringtone when the phone is left on the kitchen table and I'm in the living room (vibrate does the work when the phone is in my pocket or when I'm in a meeting, which doesn't happen a lot).
How can I know if the issue is hardware or software related? Is there something I could install to trace a crash and see what is going wrong? Sometimes, I can use the phone with sound for a couple of hours and other times the very first sound would make it crash. How can I fix this without have to return my phone (bought it in China, wish I could get a replacement but now I'm back in Montreal/Canada).
is your phone branded? where did you buy it?

Similar problem
I have a similar problem. My HTC HD2 crashes when i turn the volume to max.
I have tried uninstalling the SRS WOW application but i does not help.
When booting into Froyo Android v2.2 it doesn't crash but the sound is distant somehow. I can listen to mp3 songs but the vocals will often disappear.
I bought the phone with 3 in Sweden.
Flashed with Kumars custom rom.
Please help!

My Note 4 (Snapdragon variant) is on the latest Samsung Lollipop version, I've always had poor batterylife so I've wiped the device and started afresh but I'm having an irritating problem where ringtones and notifications have a noticeable out of sync echo on them. This occurs when the application generates the notification and it also happens when I play the notification from the sound menu, it sounds a bit like two applications are trying to play the same notification at once but that can't be the case. If I repeated play back the notification the sync drifts in and out so sometimes it will play normally, mostly not.
I can't think what I would have done to cause this, there's no new applications installed compared to what was installed previously and there's nothing that should muck up with the audio. I've had a good hunt around but almost everything I've found refers to echos during calls. Any advice appreciated as the phone sounds absolutely terrible at the moment.
Edit - Well I was being stupid, I had the Sony SBH-52 bluetooth headset right beside the phone when testing and I didn't realise it and the phone were both playing the ringtone and notifications hence the echo. Disabled media audio on the BT connection and all sorted.

Hello friends! I really hope someone can help me with this issue. My mother has my old Samsung Note 3. For the last couple of weeks anytime she gets a text message the message notification tone plays but so does her incoming call ringtone. On top of that, the call ringtone won't stop playing. We can put the phone on silent but the ringtone won't actually stop until she restarts the phone.
A little background: I had the phone maybe a year before the note 4 came out and I immediately upgraded so she's had the phone I guess maybe two years. My phone was on Verizon. My mom has T-Mobile prepaid service. We've never had any problems until this. Well because she has prepaid she uses a Wi-Fi texting app called TextPlus or something like that. Again never any problems until a couple weeks ago. I asked her if she updated anything, I've checked all of her settings in the phone and the app. I even set the call ringtone to silent and sent a text and it still did it. It's not so much the ringtone as it is that it won't stop. We've even left it sitting for over an hour and it was still ringing.
What can I do to try to fix this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Whenever I use video calls through the facebook messenger app/widget I notice all sound comes through the earpiece, I have seen similar posts but none occurring due to messenger.
My s7 edge was problem free until the last forced update which was about two weeks ago (it did it while I was sleeping and connected to wifi).
Now I have to reboot my phone every time I get off a video call or all sound comes through my earpiece. It is extremely frustrating as I rely on my alarm to wake up, which is quiet as a mouse through the earpiece.. oh and I love having to disable messenger's annoying screen overlay every time I get a new app too
Any idea how to fix it? (The speaker issue)
Thanks!
So my Whatsapp is setup to vibrate and make a sound for notifications but the sound only works about half the time while the vibrate does work every time. I've also had a few times where the sound itself doesn't fully play or sort of stutters.
Fully stock 6t on T-mobile.
Edit: I should add that I think this is a Oneplus problem in general. My OP2 had similar problems with stuttering notification sounds. Never experienced this on any other brand of phone. Didn't matter what OS I was using either.
