Hi, I am using the very wonderful MROM 7.2 on my Atrix and loving it except for one really annoying problem. I have searched the forum and can't seem to find anything similar so I would really appreciate some help please.
Basically, if I put the phone on charge (either dock or USB) the sound switches off completely. A phone that won't ring is not the most useful device!
I have tried;
Rebooting- sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't
Checking the sound on all my apps- made no difference
Rebooting into recovery and reflashing addons- made no difference
Rebooting into recovery and clearing caches- made no difference
Unfortunately, this seems to be the worst sort of problem; it is intermittent and I never know when the phone has done it. Can anyone please advise?
Thanks in advance
have you checked the hmdi audio output option in settings when you don't have sound?
somewhere in settings - advanced i believe

Thanks for the idea. Yes, I had checked that but I think I may have a solution.
In exasperation I slammed it down on the desk and the damned thing started to work! Looking like a hardware fail so I have ordered a new ribbon cable and will see how that goes.
I appreciate you taking the time the answer though.
Cheers!

That post fixed my problem, as well as fixed the problem which the data connection turns off after a call.
Hey guys, sup?
I have a huge problem with my TELUS Touch Pro. Great phone, but just one problem...
Whenever somebody calls me, I can't answer the phone. The onscreen "Answer" button doesn't work, the Talk button doesn't work, pressing the Select button doesn't work...pressing the headphone button does, but sometimes my headphones are in my pocket, or sometimes they're not with me at all!
The only way I can answer them is by ignoring the call, and calling them back. It sucks big time.
Anybody have a solution? And no, I'm not hard-resetting my phone. It started doing this for my first call, so I'm pretty sure it's not my fault.
HEEAAALLLPPP!!!
Is this the stock ROM?
Do you have BT on and connected?
Mine started doing that yesterday. I did a hard reset and so far everythings back to normal. Still do not know what it was tho
I just had my TP replaced and the new one did the same thing, I did not notice until a few days later as I use a bluetooth headset and pushing the answer key on the headset worked. I had to RTN the device to make it work properly. Have not had a problem since. it has been aabout a week and a half.
Sometimes I've noticed this happens when my memory is tied up elsewhere, ie media player or something. Try soft resetting your phone every morning that might help clear it up.
I have had this happen with me on my Titan which I recently traded in for my Touch Pro, and also on my Touch Pro. I noticed it coincided with installing iGo8 GPS software on both. A hard reset was the only way I found to fix it. Uninstalling the software did not do the trick. I could be wrong about the software title I am blaming, but I have everything reloaded on my phone except that, and all is well. I do have a Slide To Answer incoming call screen now with the MightyRom 4.9.5 rom installed, maybe this is a work around, don't know for sure. If anyone else has more feedback, let me know. I would love to find a fix for it so I can use my GPS software.
Mine started doing this crap last night. I reinstalled the S2A cab and just let it go.
I am starting to think it might just be the telus network being a boatload of suck. Mine does it with the stock rom without any programs loaded from time to time. I am thinking it must be the tower failing to acknowledge that you want to answer the call, so the phone keeps ringing becuase it sees there is an incoming call but the tower ignores that you are trying to answer it. This is just my guess based on what I have read about CDMA, I wonder if any GSM users have the same issue.....
Do any of you have Advanced Configuration installed? This is what caused this problem for mine and my brother's TP. Uninstalling didn't fix it. Had to hard reset.
Yes, this is a known issue with Advanced Config, perhaps some other apps as well. Try this fix.

I can tell you that this will more than likely fix this for you. Mine was doing the same thing, applied this, done and shut! Good luck.
OMG OMG OMG thanks!!!! That also fixed the problem where it ended the data connection after the call.
Sorry I took so long, I THOUGHT I was subscribed to the thread...
Thanks again!
Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I am completely new to S2/android and can't find an answer anywhere.
Is there any reason why placing the phone onto the craddle (which is connected to my PC via USB) comes up and ask me to disconnect Bluetooth? Why is it not possible to use both USB or bluetooth at the same time?
All my previous phones could do that but they were all HTC and all Windows Mobile phones. So I am not sure whether it is an issue with Samsung or Android or I just haven't configured it correctly.
I normally have the phone in the craddle while working (so it charges and can transfer files to and from) and use the bluetooth handset to answer or make calls. It is pretty annoying to not be able to do that anymore.
Thanks.
From what I can tell it's a thing with the Samsung bloatware they put on the phone, as I just tested it with my phone and I can have bluetooth, wifi and usb all connected at the same time. Perhaps try flashing a new Rom?
Actually I have just found out that if I go ahead and disconnect bluetooth and get the connection through USB running, I can then re-enable Bluetooth and they both keep working.
THis is a completely stock S2, so it would be nice if it was possible to change this irritating behaviour.

You've already been given your answer, flash a custom ROM that's deleted and the bloatware, and please don't become one of those newbies that doesn't read the responses in the very thread they started
Yes I have read "TehH4rRy"'s answer. My apology for not thanking him for that.
I was hoping for a solution that does not involve flashing and rooting since i have much better things to do with my time, and I was hoping this was just about me not knowing some perhaps hidden options to turn this behaviour off.
As far as I know this is the generic "Q&A" section, so you can't assume that everybody that posts a question here is looking to flash their S2 to death.
I posted my finding so that if somebody else had the same problem and is not willing to flash their phone, they would know that there is a work-around, and perhaps some other kindly helping users have even better work-arounds.
Your answer on the other hand I am not sure what it adds to the thread... but thanks anyway.
If you enable USB debugging, the phone will not disconnect the Bluetooth.

Thanks a lot yaronkle. That was what I was looking for! Weird setting but it makes the trick.

Help!
A while ago I used these forums to help when the headphones on my Galaxy S2 were very quiet by using the audio options in the developers options. This worked a treat, but I discovered a while after that, that the in car bluetooth had been affected and that I couldnt hear anyone anymore.
I tried to go back to the settings to change them, but discovered that along with ICS, the audio option no longer functions.
I have followed some of the other advice including restarting the phone, which did nothing, trying a full system wipe and reboot and restore, nothing, updating the firmware, nothing.
Does anyone know how I can access the audio options despite the daft lockout, or if there is something I can do to reinstate the original volume and audio settings that I screwed up as per above?
Cheers in advance for any help.

Maybe try going to Gingerbread from ODIN and then back to ICS, just try it. Maybe it'll work

Thanks, but I am afraid that has not worked. Is there no way of accessing the audio options any more?
This is very annoying and it happens a lot when I'm listening to a podcast or music in my car using the aux port. It also seems to happen a lot when my data is turned off and my phone is picked up and put down randomly. Really starting to piss me off and I have disabled voice command settings to no avail. Anyone else having problems like this and what can I do to solve this without root? I also just updated to the latest ota so I'll have to see if it fixes this problem later.

If it's the same thing, it happened to me also. It's the program called Voice Mate. You need to freeze or disable that program and all is good. Try settings/application manager and go to the "all" tab. Search for anything that has "voice mate" in it. Disable it.

I'm having the same problem, but i the disable button is grayed out. I've tried clearing the cache and uninstalling the updates, but it still won't stop.

Are you rooted? If so, use Titanium Backup to freeze it.
Did anyone find a solution this problem? It is happening to me too (especially when I'm playing music or when 4g is off) and I can't disable Voice Mate because it is greyed out.

Took me weeks to figure out but I had to download the swift keyboard app, then remove my PIN to get into the phone, then go into SETTINGS, BACKUP & RESTORE, then Factory data reset.
Be sure to backup all your data first.
I read another post last night in the LG G3 General Forum about this issue. Several of the posters stated that the 3.5mm audio plug is causing the voice mate and voice command to activate when using the headphone port. Several people also stated that they could duplicate the concern repeatedly by turning or twisting the plug. Don't know if it helps anyone here but it looks like the same complaints I read about last night. I'll see if I can find the OP that discussed the issue and post it back here if I can.
Has anyone found a solution? It's happening the same thing to me. Every time I wanna use the jack port (just to listen to music), Voice Mate pops out and it's really getting on my nerves!! I wanna get rid of it, but I can't delete it, just deactivate it (and I did, but it keeps popping out)... I don't wanna be root, because I'm scared of messing up my phone. If any of you guys found the solution without being a root, I'd be truly thankful for life!
OH MY GOD IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME TOO AND I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY.
I found that it may have been related to water -- when I was running and getting sweaty, or it was raining, the problems were happening. So in terms of what I've done, I have frozen: LG VoiceCommandSpeechPack, Voice Command, Voice Mate, and Voice Mate Engine. This didn't fully fix the issue -- now, I just get random pauses and unpauses occasionally and it's due to the same problem of the jack port being wonky. It fits perfectly, it's not jimmying inside the port or anything but it's definitely re-creatable, it's such an annoying issue...
It's weird, after many restarts and cache clears the issue has definitely gone away, where before it made listening to music unbearable now it happens once in a blue moon, again subjectively I think it might be moisture or water or something.
This began harassing me also two days ago. Nothing fixes it that an ordinary user can get to, including what little I can get to with Google Settings/Search & Now/Voice/OK Google/. In my case, I cannot manually cause the effect by doing anything with the 3.5mm audio jack on the phone or any of several earbud jacks. Think I am going in to my cell phone vendor tonight after work and raise my voice a little to see if I can get them to fix the problem. Sux! Almost makes the cell phone unusable.

Any chance you can find us that OP? It's a pretty annoying bug....
I'm new to this forum. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong. On my Ulefone power armor 13 phone, the volume from the handset was very low. I opened engineer mode by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*. I changed the sound levels. But I didn't know exactly which setting I changed. That's why I need default settings right now. I can't reset my phone because it has too much data and I'm not in a position to back it up yet. I need someone using this phone to share all sound levels as screenshots or text. Thank you in advance.
Hey, I have the same issue of quiet headset. I have to keep saying "WHAT? Can you please repeat" Loool it's not that often, but happens sometimes. I had it with my Doogee S90 too. But I don't remember how I fixed it lol.
What screen you wanna see I will be happy to share.
Btw, I think the right thing would be using Viper Magisk module. But, I haven't tried it myself.
This is the Audio and voice settings.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. But I need all the settings. For example, if we take the first picture you took, I need all the settings after clicking the "system" tab. And the same things need to be done for the other tab "bt a2dp". I want something very challenging but I really need it. Because my headset was too low. I increased all the levels as I don't know which setting fixed it. Now headset is fine. But this time other audio-requiring things like audio recording and video recording got worse. I am on a business trip. That's why I haven't taken the phone with me right now. If I solve this problem, I will start using it again. It has incredible battery performance and that's what I really need. Thanks again for your help.
