For whatever reason, at random times, the media volume of my phone will just flat out mute. Once mute, I am unable to get it up, even through the sound settings, it'll just go back to mute. My only fix so far is to restart the phone, but it gets really annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anybody know why causes it? I did the whole increase volume thing with QPST and made the volume Lv4. I seemed as if everything worked correctly, but I noticed absolutely no change in volume =_=;
First suggestion, get another phone. I had the same problem...

Seriously? You can't automatically discard a phone for a little bug...
It's more than likely from the spiderman game... You might have to uninstall the update in the game until they fix this bug..

I had it happen.. it happened a lot with my g2x... And anytime I ran cm7 I had to reboot... I'm guessing just a faulty media driver or something else as it doesn't happen often.
Try a to download a different media player (music only obviously) from the market
Or just reboot your phone and increase the media volume in the "settings"
Im sure if its a major bug the developer's will find a fix

My slider is perfect, it snaps and takes the right amount of effort to slide. I've had two of these phones because of a part number mixup, had the first one for an entire weekend and both are perfect, good slider, no dust, light leak or dead pixels.

Fix: Go into Sound settings and change the Sound profile to Normal (preferably before launching the game, but works after-the-fact too, if you forget). Mine defaulted to Vibrate, and it seems that this game is programmed to disable sound (only after the splash screen and intro video, go figure) if it detects this or the Silent profile. Now I can hear the game, for a change.

You have the right to return it in the first 30 days. Dont take the employees crap.
Seriously. You have the right to take it back as much as you want till you get a good one as long as you do it in the first 30 days. Just go back and dont take no, if they say it Return the phone and go to a different store.
I was just wondering if anyone else with the Motorola photon was having this problem. When I try playing a game, particularly racing games where you have to hold down a button on the screen, the screen will become unresponsive in the one spot.
You can test this by downloading a racing game and then holding down the gas button, if you car or bike goes the entire game without slowing down or stopping you don't have this problem. However, I experience the car slowing down or coming to a stop from holding down that one area for long periods of time (usually 30 seconds). After about 2 seconds, the screen will become responsive in that area again and the car will speed back up, but then it will become again.
This problem I have noticed will multiple racing games from different developers. Here are two games I notice it the most in: RacingMoto and Top Truck Free.
Anyone noticing this?
If this is a problem with the phone sprint should fix since they market this phone as "great for games".
It's an issue for everyone. I forget the exact reasoning but basically the phone stops responding after holding a certain spot for so long in case it's something in your pocket doing it. Dumb idea to me but nothing we can do about it yet.

That kinda defeats the purpose of a "gaming phone". Good thing I only play games on my phone about an hour a month. If I bought this phone to play games on and it did this I'd be pissed at Sprint for terrible marketing.

I definitely agree! I posted it on Motorola's forums so hopefully someone can pass it to their dev team saying this needs a fix (if they can even fix it with a software update). Otherwise Sprint's support is in for a hay day from me

Thanks Cornelious but the prblem is that the bootloader is locked and is 2.3.5 so i can't unlock it, i also can't acess the files with adb i think is because the screen autolocks by default when the phone starts so adb does not recognize the device.. any sugestions?
Help. So I was playing robo defense. Got a text and it automatically read it out loud.
Was using handcent. Deleted robo defense and handcent and its still reading them out loud with stock messaging app. Phone on vibrate or loud. Doesn't matter...
I get text it says out loud number and message..
Update: when someone sends me a text it no longer automatically pops up. I have to turn phone on for notification of text and it to be read out loud...
How do I make it stop?? Please. Thanks.

I have this same issue myself, it must be a bug. Luckily it always stays on vibrate. It started out of nowhere and I don't feel like doing a hard reset yet. I looked at every single possible option and none were selected. Hope the next MR update will fix it! HTC and VZW are normally very timely and effective at updating their phones so I'm not too worried. I must say, I don't have a single other bug in this phone which is impressive for such new hardware these days.

I remember this happening on my hd2 on winmo. I think voice cmd had accidentally been turned on.
I hope you weren't sexting.
So this week I've discovered a hidden feature on my Rezound: it doubles as a portable pocket burner. Not sure if that is too be expected (having read through the other battery threads, it seems that 120°F is typical eye-bulge territory), but if it happens again i'll probably start the replacement phone process.
This happened off charger, just playing a high quality graphics game for 20 minutes.
Just seems a bit high to me, but any further insight is welcome. (as a comparison i've read on the Galaxy Nexus forums that a few folks are getting ancy at around the 120°F mark as well).
Maybe the Rezound is just has a poor design in reference to heat dissipation? Maybe I have a defect? I can live with it, so long as I know its not that big of a deal. I'd like to avoid waking up next to a phone shaped melt hole on my night stand.

If I remember correctly, I was using the new Onlive app for the temp in my OP (but it gets north of 125°F commonly on normal games). If you (or anyone else reading this) have that app, would you mind running it for few minutes & reporting back? It wouldn't surprise me if it played a role in tipping the temp over the edge (Onlive is a magical service // magic = power).

This problem did not exist prior to the OTA update.

Has to be some kind of app that prevents the display from turning off. Try searching through your app list and see which apps have those permissions.
