My only glitch so far has been a volume problem...
Sometimes, especially after Netflix or YouTube, my media volume, and sometimes others, will be stuck on silent. Using the volume buttons won't work. Trying to change it in settings won't work. The only thing I've found is to either reenter the app and exit, or reboot the phone.
Is anyone experiencing this? If so, am I missing something or is it really a glitch?

I have the same issue. Used reboot yesterday and so far all is ok. Only media volume stuck on my verizon note 2.

I had this problem last night, only ringer volume wouldnt move until a reboot. I actually noticed too that audio through the headphones was beyond plss poor until I rebooted the first time. Since then, pretty good. Strange

great, i thought it was just mine. at least a reboot fixes it - but really annoying though.
same issue -- media volume stuck -- note 2 -- verizon
I have been experiencing the same issue as described by others above. Galaxy note 2, Verizon. It seems to be associated with use of the headphone jack while also running audio-related apps (music streaming).
Unfreeze volume without reset
Same issue on Note 2 at&t. Happens when the phone goes from mute to unmute I find. I was able to unfreeze it by holding down the home button until the shortcut menu pops up, the go to the pie chart icon on the bottom left of the screen, then go to the RAM tab and hit clear memory. It worked for me when I just tried it and it is quicker than resetting the phone.

hello.
i have a 32 gb hp touchpad overclocked.
when i turn it on i have sound working good.
but after very quicly, it have no more sound at all (even when i push the sound + or soung - button, i see the sound logo going up and down but no sound)
and if i turn it off and on the sound come back.
do you know what can be the problem ?
Thank you
Happens to me ALL THE TIME. I just chalk it up to WebOS being completely unfinished. But then again it could be some of the patches I have installed, since I spent all of about 3 minutes without them.
Me too, I read that Making a call in skype will bring sound back.
Apparently it helps to disable system sound, keyboard and vibrate.
Happened to me twice more today. So annoying.
Happens to mine pretty much daily. I don't see a whole lot of *****ing in general about it though, mostly here and Precentral, which leads me to believe it's mostly "modified" touchpads with this problem. I'm thinking it's a patch or kernal problem.
It's most likely a problem with a kernel or patch. I have 3 16GB's, two stock, one modded, and none of them exhibit this behavior. Since all of you have modded yours, I suggest removing patches/kernels and see if the problem persists.

Install the Preware Linux App > Increase TouchPad Volume ( Lite)............
See if it makes a difference
I haven't figured out what causes it for me, but a simple solution to fix it without having to restart is to run a couple commands in xterm..
stop pulseaudio
start pulseaudio
Sound goes off (ANNOYING)
Why does the sound go off all of a sudden, I hate it, I can't even hear youtube videos, it requires a restart

Finally , I had to disable the email audible notification (left the vibrate only). Now it has been OK for more than 1 week, before it will lose sound in a few hours.
Hope HP get's this resolved.
Thanks

If you install the "Advanced Reset Options" patch, you can use it to restore your sound...
Just hold the power switch until the buttons show up, then tap "Cancel".
Hi,
Advanced Reset option does not fix the issue for me (unless I select Reset).
Sound fails even if the only App I have opened since a full reboot is the email App.
Maybe one of the installed Logging patches is causing the sound to drop out? Maybe we should enable logging to see if the logs give any indication around what is causing the sound issue?
this issue was happening to me everything my touchpad would go idle for longer than an hour (super annoying) however I gave all the suggestions here a try and finally had luck with robrob777's suggestion! Turning my email notification sounds to vibrate has seemed to fix my issue hasn't happened in 2 days. Just wanted to say thanks robrob777!

There's an article over on precentral about fixing the problem, though it really isn't a fix, but rather a way of getting your sound back without a reboot. See it at:
www
precentral.net

fix-your-touchpad-s-lost-audio
Sorry about the format of the link, but forum rules for newbies prvented me from posting it properly. Since it obviously isn't spam, I am hoping I won't be in trouble for it.
It's complicated, and you might find a reboot easier, but perhaps some developer who's into patches will spot it and come up with a more permanent fix, either to fix the problem itself, or at the very least, to have the stop/start fix applied when the volume control button reaches max and is pressed again once or twice.
Update: It just became a little easier to apply the start/stop "fix". XServer, Xterm, and Xecutah just became available on webos-internals (.org). Just use Preware, select Applications, All, and the new stuff will show at the top of the page. Just download Xecutah and the other two packages will download with it if you allow it.
Update 2: Even easier...
After installing the X stuff, start Xecutah and create a shell script in the default directory you land in with Xecutah. I just used cat and typed it in.
cat >fixaudio
Here's what I put in it...
#!/bin/sh
stop pulseaudio
start pulseaudio
Then, fix up permissions...
chmod 070 fixaudio
(It's been a while since I used Unix/Linx, but I'm sure someone will correct my permissions choice if it's not right).
Then, when your sound goes away, start Xecutah and type fixaudio.
Even better... Use Preware to find an app called PulseAudio Restarter. Works well.
For months, I've been having a problem with the ringer auto-adjusting itself.
At work, I turn the volume down to level 3, and when I leave, I turn it back up to 6. About halfway through the day, I'll get a text, or a call, and my ringer is back up at level 6 all by itself. I find I have to re-adjust the volume a couple of times a day to keep it low.
Then when I leave work, within a few minutes of turning the volume back up, it returns to 3. It will do this a couple of times a night, and even on the weekends. It doesn't seem to have a regular time where it does it, but it happens almost every day. I can't tell you how many calls I've missed because of this.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix for it, or is it being caused by an app, or what? Doesn't matter what rom I'm running, it just keeps happening.
I've experienced this too on Infected 1.4.2 and 1.5 (sense 3.0) and Synergy Roms. Can't remember if i've seen this in stock and I haven't tried any other roms... It just hasn't affected me to the point where I cared...
I don't remember if it happened stock or not, but it has happened on Synergy, Infected, and now Warm. I just can't figure it out.
mine does the same thing bro.. im not rooted.. stock..
Maybe it's an app causing it?
still cant figure it out?? its drivin me crazy!! ill have the volume down all the way some one will call and its full blast.. ****s gona blow my speaker!
Do you have a list of your apps? Maybe everyone having this issue have a common app installed.
Pocket mode on?

I noticed some ringtones play on media volume while others play on phone volume. Just thinking, but I do remember having a control issue where my media volume kept reseting to a default level randomly.

Pocket mode was turned on, but I don't believe that had anything to do with it.
I may have figured it out when it does it though. Every time I make or receive a call, the volume goes back up. I just tested it by making 3 calls in a row, and every time I hung up, the ringer volume was back up. I would turn it down, make a call, and it's back up again. I just wish I could figure out why it's doing that.
Hey there. I've tried searching for a fix for my GS2 not vibrating and I can't seem to find one. It will vibrate on key press and when it rings if I have headphones plugged into the jack. But as soon as I unplug them it wont vibrate at all. Any ideas? Or should I just be taking it back and getting it fixed?

Did you turn vibration on in the app?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
I've turned the vibration setting on in everything I could. It just will not vibrate unless i plug headphones into the phone.
Sounds jacked up. Did it vibe on stock ROM? If so full wipe and re-flash is in order. If didn't work stock return to stock and take it in for service. And don't forget to reset your flash counter.

I just purchased a used Razr XT910 (Rogers) from Best Buy and started setting it up today. At one point, I used the volume buttons to mute the phone, and then things started acting up. The phone is now in persistent 'silent mode.' No matter how much or often I press the volume up button, within seconds the phone will mute itself. Even when I go into Settings and uncheck 'Silent Mode,' it will be checked again almost immediately. The phone is basically unusable now and I am very frustrated.
All I've done to the phone so far:
-no apps apart from what came stock have been installed
-tried turning off the phone and then on (no change)
-tried doing a factory reset, but it dumped me into AP Fastboot (why???)
-setup my Google account
-a few settings have been changed, ie. haptic turned off, vibrate turned off, etc.
-the volume buttons work and aren't stuck
The phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.6 and is from Rogers. Apparently, the phone was tested as working from Best Buy. Is this a hardware or software issue? Should I try doing another factory reset, even though last time it put me into fastboot?
Any suggestions or solutions?
it is strange try another reset and if it put you in fastboot there is an option from there to reset, i dont remember it though, google or youtube it
Well this might sound weird but push on the speaker location. A couple batches of RAZR have an issue (mine included) where the speaker contact comes loose and pressing on the speaker helps make the connection again.
Here is just one of the many threads on it https://vzwsupport.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v2/discussions/772234

i don't think his problems with the speaker.. he seems to be referring to the volume option that keeps putting itself into silent mode..

Are you by any chance using the SmartActions or Tasker?
If you are using ICS you can go to Sound -> Volumes and set the ringtone volume from there.
Thanks for the replies, everyone. On Saturday, I decided to try a factory reset through Android again. This time, it reset the phone as it should have. I've been testing the phone (by muting and unmuting, etc.) since then, and it seems that the silent mode problem is now fixed. It looks as though it just needed a proper reset.
I love this phone by the way .
It's happened 3 times (mornings) where my note 3 froze and became almost unresponsive and laggy, and the worst, alarm didn't go off. Not sure what's going on. The phone works fine even after I set the alarm, but something happens during the night or when it's about to go off, and freezes, forcing me to do a hard reboot to clear it. I also set volume to mute, which shouldn't matter. I have no other issues with the phone except for this weird bug.
Anyone experienced something similar?

I've had it happen a couple times when the phones been on for a couple days without a reboot.
Finally, just did what I did with Note 2. Titanium backup at 3am daily and reboot the phone automatically after the backup. Haven't noticed behavior since. I suspect a misbehaving app, but haven't taken the time to run down the problem.
