Replaced the battery with a Cameron Sino in my Axon, after I plugged in the new battery the phone started vibrating in a set pattern.
2 vibrations separated by 2-3 seconds, then after 10-15 seconds, one more vibration. Each vibration always flashes the red charging light.
Plugging it into power does nothing. Unplugging the battery stops the vibration and shows the red power light when plugged in, but it won't turn on still.
Anyone able to help me diagnose the problem?
Using an unlocked bootloader with lineageos 15.1, but I don't believe it's the issue right now.
Have you tried plugging in the old battery? Is it still doing the same? I am planning to change my battery too after I get a new phone properly set up and running. I will be using my A7 afterwards as a media player only more or less as there is simply nothing that will tick all the boxes at the same time, especially 3.5 mm. audio jack, (extra amplifier) quality audio plus Dolby Atmos. I was thinking of getting the ROG 2 but it looks like it is plagued with a lot of software problems, no VoLTE/WiFi and it is crazy expensive just for a battery, already old chip and underutilised 120Hz display so I may go for the Samsung S20/Note 10+ series, One Plus from 2019 or the incoming Huawei's instead. I was also considering LG (3.5mm jack + quad dac) until I found their newer phone batteries are as bad as the Sony's and the Pixel's.

Hey guys,
I tried the S5 Samsung cover, I agree with many, it's too think to use (not to mention $30). I got one of the aftermarket inserts, works like a champ. Here's my question. My S5 is a work phone, I have a G3 as a personal one. I got a "patch" for the G3, that stuck to the back cover, and filled in the slots for the factory Qi charger. When I charge this on the Qi, it is silent.
The S5 has the commonly reported issue of making the wireless charging sound, discharging a little, recharging with the new sound and screen light up. I can't root or install any of the recommended apps to silence the device. Is the screen-on and wireless charging sound Samsung specific? My G3 makes a sound, once, when it is on the mat, but is silent thereafter (and the screen remains dark). Old Sammy, she makes a lot of noise and lights up a dark bedroom.
Thanks for the help

Sorry to say but you are stuck with the lights and sound without root. Even with root the light will be there but you can at least delete the charging sounds.

Thanks. So, it must be a Sammy thing? LG is quiet as a mouse, no root required...
I've intermittently had an issue where the speaker volume lowers when listening to loud music or playing games. It's more noticeable on driving games where there is a constant drone of an engine keeping a baseline volume.
I've always thought it was a software issue but I've seen various other people had this problem and some even said an RMA cured it.
Well I did am RMA and i tested it on the new device and the issue had gone. Until now.
I thought I would have a quick blast on Need For Speed most wanted before bed. To my dismay, the issue had returned. It's the end of the day so I'm low on battery so I played whilst charging. I noticed the issue but also noticed i hadn't plugged my usb cable in properly. I plugged it in and by the end of the race, volume had returned. I raced again without issue. Then on the next race, i decided to pull the cable out and as the battery warning popped up, the volume dropped down instantly. I plugged the cable back in bit the volume didn't return for a short while. But it did return.
I've done a few more tests and it seems at low battery, i can consistently pull out the usb cable and the speaker volume will instantly drop. I've done some counting and it seems again consistently that volume gradually returns back to what it should be at what seems to be almost exactly 15 seconds.
I'm wondering now if this is some crazy battery saving measure like dropping the CPU to 2.2 GHz at 40%.
I'm hoping some of you guys with the same issue could do some testing and report back here to see if you witness the same kinds of trends. Maybe we could use this thread to catalogue our crazy hypotheses about what this may actually be too.
Test 1 with Battery 20% or lower, volume on full
-Plug in USB to charge
-Load a driving game (GT Racing 3 for example)
-Whilst driving with engine noise, pull cable out
Does the Volume lower? (Expected Yes)
When plugging the cable BACK in, does the volume return after about 15 seconds and remain high? (Expected Yes)
Test 2 (same as above) but at 40% battery
Does the Volume lower? (Expected Yes)
When plugging the cable BACK in, does the volume return after about 10 seconds and remain high? (Expected Yes)
Test 3 (same as above) but at 40% battery
Does the Volume lower? (Expected No)
Edit. Further results, its doing it at 30 and 40% battery too, though it seems to recover within 10 seconds now. I don't think its a feature because its not like the volume drops to a certain % then stays there, it fluctuates around at lower volumes..up and down.
Further to this, I've just tested the game at 60% and it didn't happen at all. I'm convinced it's a bug relating to how the CPU and GPU are throttled at "low" battery levels. I say low, it starts throttling at 40% which isn't low at all.
Please can anyone else with the speaker volume issue see if they can reproduce my findings?
Yep, same here, sound issues are common on the Nexus 6 as on Moto X. Motorola is already aware, you can look at their forums.

Same here as in you can reproduce the problems at specific battery %? Or same here you have an issue?
I do know people have this issue. It's just I noticed odd behaviour which may help pin it down. Can you test please if you haven't already?
Yes, at low battery it doesn't sound as loud as usual.
I'm also having static noise when calling and playing Mortal Kombat.
Motorola's sound drivers suck big time.
There is no solution? I'm really pissed off with this issue. I can't enjoy my music.

If we know what causes the issue, who knows? Maybe we can get a fix.

I'm doing the test now. I'll update.

I test it with Poweramp max volume. Volume lowering when 20% below. But when I plug it to the charger the volume slowly comes back. Maybe it's a SW issue or feature. (Fck I hate this) That when the battery is below 20% they will optimize the speaker. Motorola should fix this issues. Such a shame to experience this on a Nexus phone.

Thanks for testing.
I think it is Software affecting hardware. I don't think it is intended though because when the volume lowers, it doesn't seem to stay at a single volume, it kind of fades up and down a bit.

Same here with mortal kombat. Good to know its not just me
For mortal kombat sound issues try viper4android, but there is no solution for low sound on low battery

It's a software issue. Motorola already stated that. One guy exchanged his phone 4 times with the same issue (static sound from battery when low on battery)

We're not talking about static though. But what software are they putting that issue down to?

My device gets staticy and distorted when turned up above 50% volume, whether the battery is charged or not.
And whenever i get a call, the ringer is real low then blasts up to full volume all the sudden
I think it's more of a software issue, as with any custom rom or kernel, it seems to operate properly at least on my device, but now that i'm on M, i'm seeing this volume-dropping issue. How many people running custom roms/kernels have this issue?
Mine does it no matter what im running
Hi, recently my Nexus refused to charge. I mean it was said it's charging, but percent was always the same (even when turned off). It turned out that it was an issue with usb charging port. So I've bought a new charging port, which is also merged with headphone jack port. Anyway after replacing old charging port nexus charges fine. However later I've been watching youtube video on it with sound on speaker. Every small move disables sound. It looks like it's getting "inserted headphones" event all the time. How can I fix this except buying next charging port? I've found two apps which can toggle between speaker and headphones, but problem is it's changing all the time so I probably need something with endlessly forces my nexus to stay on speaker. I don't use headphones anyway. And my device is rooted which may somehow help.
Regards
Anyone help?
I'm not sure, but maybe it's a issue with flat cable. Some time ago, I didn't put the flat cable well in my board and in headphone I hear only the left speaker
Hey all. I'm a new LeEco Pro3 user, and I've noticed a weird issue: audio output through headphones will stop working after a few hours of not using it.
Basically, you can connect your headphone adapter with your headphones plugged in, play an audio file, and it will play through the speakers instead of through your headphones. Unplugging and replugging doesn't fix it. Raising or lowering the volume doesn't fix it. It cannot play audio through the headphones unless you reboot the phone.
I don't know what triggers it. All I know is, when this issue pops up, the the "Sounds and Vibration" sections of the Settings app crashes. When you try to enter it, you'll go to a black screen. Which is very, very weird. Could it be due to the USB-C audio driver crashing? What could cause it to crash?
The only solution is rebooting the phone. I really don't want to do that every time it crashes, as it has crashed on me 3 times so far in the past few weeks. :/ It actually started the second week I received the phone. I hadn't listened to music in a while, so I went to connect my headphones, and... lo and behold, it refused to play audio through the headphones no matter what I did. But the first time the issue occurred, I didn't bother going into the Settings app, which was stupid of me. I should have checked to see if the Settings app's Sound section crashed on me or not.
I have Dolby Atmos disabled, though CDLA headphones show up as "enabled" in the Sound section, but grayed out, so I can't disable that option. Dunno why. I have the stock equalizer disabled in Settings, and I don't use an equalizer in my music app. Maybe the CDLA option is causing audio to crash...?
I'm running 6.0.1 on the Banggood vendor ROM. No issues on the ROM, other than this audio issue. I don't even know if it's a software issue or not, could be a hardware issue, or an issue with the USB-C standard itself. After all, even the Pixel and the iPhone 7 have this issue and similar issues. I checked Apple's forums and some people are complaining that the Lightning adapter doesn't always work, or cuts out, and only unplugging and replugging it, or rebooting the phone fixed headphone audio. As for the Pixel, apparently some Pixels didn't charge until they were rebooted. But a software update fixed this(?)
I even saw a similar issue affecting the LeEco Pro3, same as the Pixel--some Pro3s won't charge unless they're rebooting, and someone on here mentioned a kernel fix for it. Something about a USB-C controller going haywire. But that fix is only for the x720, and I have the x722. I haven't had any charging issues so far, just headphone issues. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm thinking this is one of 3 things:
-Software issue with the ROM I'm running, or a kernel issue
-Issue with the dongle itself (I'm using the one I got in the box; i.e. the legit one)
-Issue with the USB-C port (could be loose, could be damaged; I cleaned it out, it's perfectly clean)
I'm leaning towards a software issue, if only because the "Sounds and Vibration" setting crashes when the issue occurs. If it was a hardware issue, surely the ROM would behave normally. Then again, what do I know, I'm no dev!
Anyone else having audio issues with their Pro3? I don't want to switch to Bluetooth because I have perfectly good headphones already, plus I would hate having another thing around to charge.
I'll try to take a video of the issue once it occurs again, but weirdly enough, it only happens when I'm preparing to leave for work. Hasn't happened to me at home once. I just don't get it.
Hello everyone,
My first post ever on XDA.
I got my old man a Nexus 6P a couple months ago and he was really happy. Yesterday it's audio systems just died out of nothing. He was babying it and nothing happened to the phone. He was using his bluetooth headset though if that's got something to do with it weirdly I don't know.
But so far symptoms:
-No audio from speaker, headphone, earphone, earpiece during call, during music, during video, ringtone, nothing...
-No mic input
-No video recording probably related to above
-Videos play but no sound
What I"ve tried to fix in last 24 hours:
-Tried unplugging the earphone jack
-Tried unplugging the cameras
-Tried rubbing all the little springy connections
-Flashed the whole bootloader, system, vendor, radio, boot to no avail
-Finally when I swapped the motherboard with my mom's Nexus 6P (which has all audio working), there was no sound again.
So the last bulletin I think proves it's not the casing, not the speakers, not the daughterboard ribbon, not the ribbon behind volume keys...
Basically strong sign that it's the motherboard, but as one last try, does anyone think there is something I can try? I'm puzzled why it would happen to the motherboard out of blue like that...
Anyway any help is much appreciated but if there is no solution I'll just bite the bullet and toss the motherboard, it's just not convenient where my parents live... Regardless the sharing culture on this website is amazing and there are so many crazy smart solutions all around it, it's super cool, thanks again, I appreciate it so much!
