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.

Doesn't sound like a phone problem lol sorry I couldn't resist lol
So if I tap the top of my screen or shake my phone I hear some sort of "tick" sound. Anyone noticed this? Is this normal or?...

It's the loose power/wake button on the right hand side. This is common in Samsung phones.

I'm actually pretty convinced it's coming from higher (somewhere near the camera). Also if I hold the button still with my finger I still hear the sound. It's pretty obvious when you tap on the screen. When you tap on the top of the screen it kinda sounds clicky while on the bottom just "normal"

Anyone else?
Damn you - hadn't noticed this and now it will bug me
I thought it might be the internal part of the headphone connector at first but more playing (and tapping) and I agree, I'm sure it's the front (earpiece) speaker cover bit.
Guess they are all like this, not something most people (me included) would notice until you try.

Yeah I just noticed it even though I already had mine for some time. It kinda bugged me. But knowing that it is normal makes me find it less irritating.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone here could confirm a small, miniscule, almost-non-existent issue I found with this beautiful device. The left (Menu) touch button seems to be every-so-slightly faded compared to the right (Back) touch button. I haven't been able to find any pictures, or take a picture of mine (no camera around at the moment) to show what I mean. It's almost ridiculous that I am spending my time and energy in typing about this, but I would just like to know if this is normal and not something that is unique to mine. Besides, I think it gives it a bit of a personality (like Nemo and his fin).
Unique to yours.

Not even sure what you mean to be honest.
Do you mean the light is dimmer?
I haven't noticed any issues in any case. I don't think I'd really care. I'm more inclined to worry about signs I've used it! (microscopic scratches that you can't see from anything but the most obscure of angles etc.)

And using the front camera to take a picture in a mirror won't work because....? Use your imagination.
I'm not actually endorsing that (though the front camera is actually not bad, so it could work with enough light), and I'm sure that's not what was meant by that post, but if you're gonna be a **** about it...

Well considering the problem is one button is slightly faded compared to the other and the lackluster FFC, I wouldn't assume that would produce anything useful. I said a picture with clarity.
It was an honest question. Obviously he can use the FFC but he is talking about something so slight it likely won't be captured with the FFC.

I know I know. I was replying solely to the quoted comment.
About that post anyway, I'm just hoping whoever (s)he is, is trying to make some sort of sarcastic statement about semantics, since the original post said "no camera around" as opposed to "no other camera around". I'm hoping that's what the post's intention was.
Oh how I hope...

Better ways than that. In any case, both remarks were pretty tame/lame. No need to make a bigger deal out of it than it is.

I was unaware that Scots and Irish were nowadays considered to be a different "race".
Anyhoo. Back on topic, still don't even know exactly what issue we're talking about here with these "faded" buttons.

yes this is an issue and it also exists in my phone. i got my first S3 and it had lots of glue marks on the screen and the menu led was placed a bit above where it should be causing its light to come on the screen from inside of the scree. i got that set changed with a new one and now rest of the issues are gone but yes the menu led is a bit faded.

Thank you for keeping this thread on-topic. Yeah, it doesn't bother me at all. Just thought I'd inquire.
I've noticed many of you on viper 1.1.3 have enjoyed the beats mod that I was able to get working on our phone. I'm also very aware of everyone asking when it's gonna be updated for the new viper 1.2. Well after weeks of trying everything I can get my hands on to get it to work I've come up with nothing.
I did However find out some interesting things from HTC after writing them a few emails. I got them to tell me that yes an ota would give us more options for beats audio. But since they don't feel that there's nothing wrong with beats what's the point for fixing it? That's where you come in...
All I ask is a simple email to HTC explaining to them how much of a downer beats actually is on this phone. Its that simple. I know it's a long shot and I know it's a small crowd of us that actually give a damn about it but it's ridiculous that we have all of the same files in our phones as say the ONE X but are limited to just an on/off switch on the DNA.
Here's what's needed to send them your thoughts:
-the model of your phone.
-a brief description of what you find missing from beats(ie eq settings, etc)
-that's it.
-whatever you do DO NOT explain that you're rooted or s-off as that will do nothing but hurt our chances in getting this OTA.
Like I said it's a long shot at best but the more people making an uproar about it the more they may be inclined to do something about it.
Here's a direct link to their customer service website:

EDIT: I received this e-mail back. ' I want to thank you for your feedback, Kennith. All of our customer’s opinions are extremely valued here, at HTC. This type of feedback is always welcomed, and let me assure you that it will be of great use in our efforts to further improve our customer experience.

The only ota I want is for Sense5 or KLP, maybe they can incorporate Beats into one of those OTAs instead of a separate one just for Beats.
