A serious problem with my device is that sound(phone ringing, music and everything is comming from earpiece instead of speaker) this makes impossible to hear the phone ringing, ive reset the phone to factory settings and reverted user apps still the same. I know the speaker is not faulty because when i restart phone it works for several minutes, the sound may come back without restarting if i kill all procesess.
I suspect the problem is with an applicaton installed but i have so many, can anyone advice how to find out what is causing the problem.
I have SGS2 with stock 2.3.4 fimware,
please...thank you in advance
Wanted help, but now i will return help.
The solution is to uninstall "Mobile Voip" application which was causing this issue
Damn application, took so much to find out whats causing this.
I have had my Rezound for 30 days today. This morning while driving into work my phone was on the Verizon GPS dock and the died due to low battery. It was the first time I actually let it discharge completely. Later at work I got a call and the ring tone I set up for that person was different. I went into all the contacts I assigned ring tones to and they were all changed. I then opened up GO SMS and all the notifications I had assigned were all changed as well. There does not appear to be any rhyme or reason to the pattern of the changed ring tones and notifications and nothing else on the phone appears to have been affected.
I used to have a problem like that occasionally on my HTC EVO 4G, but that was only when I was restoring some nandroid backups. Obviously that would not be the case with the Rezound, so I am left with a question. Was it an issue with the GPS Dock or the battery discharge completely? Or could it be that it discharged while on the GPS dock? I searched the forum and could not find anyone with this exact same issue so not if this is something new or an old issue. Minor annoyance I guess, but we all know how long it takes setting up your ring tones and notifications.
Mine did the same thing yesterday except that it had a charge.
Then last night it just started boot looping for no reason.

Now that I started looking at the phone it started flickering so I am thinking I might have to do a factory reset to see if that fixes it.

Mine had similar problems, my apn changed on its own and couldnt get a data connection, and my ringtones changed. I reset the apn to default which fixed the data but then I kept getting 1x when my wifes was on 3g. So anyway did a factory reset and everything working great now.
yeah, i thought it was go sms...go was changing my text noise to a SONG in my music folder lol...and my ringtone sometimes changed back to default, but that was because i had my ringtones on the external SD, when they should be on internal..everytime you plug it into the PC, it'll reset to the stock ringtone. but yeah as for tones, idk why that does it.
I am 'glad' I am not the only one, but not sure if I want to do a factory reset in case the phone got boinked or to just reassign the notifications and ring tones. If multiple phones had this issue and it seems to be on the day they had a huge network outage could that be the cause.
I've had issues with notifications changing randomly, generally when it dies or I do a full reset. My favorite was when I missed some important calls because it changed my ringtone to silent. I refuse to do a factory reset, though. Too much hassle, so I periodically check my sounds.

Ugh, my phone wasn't doing this at all. Then I did a factory reset to try to take care of the Mobile Hot Spot issue, and now my notification sounds are changing.
Time for an OTA update, hTC!!
Has anyone been calling Verizon to report this issue? Squeaky wheel gets the oil or else we're just whining to each other on the internet.
isn't it , squeeky wheel gets the grease? lol
Temp Root
This only happens after I temp root. It unmounts the SD card and changes all of my custom ringtones for different contacts.
Leave more info of this buggy issue
My wife had the same issue once!!! But I haven't encountered after that, can you guys leave some info for reference? BTW, if ur custom ringtone is mp3. saved in external storage, did you remove SD card or set disk drive mode while issue happening?
My device
ROM version:1.02.605.6
Issue happened step: Can't repro!!
It's happening to me now and it started when I changed out my battery. Probably just a coincidence. Having to keep fixing ring tones is a pain in the ass.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I was having the same issue because I was temp rooting a lot. I fixed this by putting the ringtone and notification that I always use into the system/media/audio. This prevents it from changing it to something else, or to nothing selected, when the SD card is unmounted.

Seen this a few times in recent days myself (Unrooted/ Stock). Not 100% sure, but it looks like the SD card is somehow getting ninja unmounted when the battery dies (or is about to die) because i'm also not able to access anything on the SD card after that happens. I'll try to test again today to confirm if this is the actual trigger. For me, a reboot automatically remounts the SD card correctly - restoring any missing ringtones/notifications in apps, without having to manually set up each one. The odd thing is that when this happens, settings > sd & phone storage still shows the SD card as mounted. Also weird: manually unmounting/ remounting the SD card via will let me re-access some files (photos), but ringtone links are still dead. A reboot fully solves the issue until the next occurance. This probably needs to be reported as a bug.
It has been happening to me a lot. Seems like I reboot my phone and at least 1 ringtone will default to Silent.
I just moved all my ringtones and notifications to the system/media folder. I will see if it sticks.

Confirmed yesterday that "about to die" wasn't the trigger. Will try to let it die all the way to see if I can get it to barf again.
I am having this issue also and it is driving me crazy. It is also changing to like a random ringtone and my alarm sound even has changed. I have not hooked it up to my PC in a few days and am not rooted or unlocked. Only thing I can think of is when I rebooted it since I do not let it die very often. I was beginning to think my phone was haunted ;P LOL j/k But seriously it should not do this!!
Same issue with downloaded notification tones and alarm sounds changing and/or resetting. It hasn't happened in a while. I won't speculate the cause at this point. Glad it's not just me.

Let the phone fully die last night. Plugged in & charged to about 75% before I turned it back on. Checked to see if Alarm was able to read SD ringtones. YEEEEUUUUP.
So it seems like this issue is random, which makes it slightly more annoying.
W/e, it's a bug that is somehow related to rebooting & hopefully it will be caught/ fixed by HTC in the next patch. For me, the issue is rare and a manual reboot fixes the borked notifications. I can live with that for a while.
I've had this happen on reboot as well. It, along with the network bootloop issue, seem to be completely random upon reboot and everyone needs to make sure to report these bugs to HTC. These are both VERY annoying!
Hey all, i have a problem with my gs2 on att, running cm7
there is really annoying issue, and im not finding anything thru the searches.
notifications (vibrate or tone, based on profile) play when the call connects, and when i put the phone up to my ear after i take it away. it doesnt play when i take the phone away from my ear, only when i put it back.
i CAN NOT FIND a setting that relates to that anywhere.
can't quite pinpoint when it started happening, but i tried different launchers, uninstalled damn near everything that messes with setting but nothing. stock everything, except for adw launcher.
can someone throw me a tip or something?
thanks!
I've been having this problem for a while, but can't shake it. No matter what ROM I try (including stock!) The phone reboots several times per day. I'll have it just sitting on my desk doing nothing when it suddenly reboots.
Also, if I try using just the phone itself to make a call the person on the other end hears their own voice echoed back to them. The only way to avoid this is to not use the phones mic/speaker. If I plug into the phones audio jack, or connect via blutooth the echo goes away.
At first I thought it was the roms I was using, blaming it on the call record function. But even the stock rom has this issue. I thought maybe upgrading the bootloader/modem would fix it, so I flash NK2, but still have the issues.
What else can I try here? Anyone else experience this? I've search but found nothing but a thread suggesting it might be a corrupt SD card causing the reboots. Pulled the SD card, still reboots. I'm out of ideas.

I do have the echo problem but it doesn't happen often and usually goes away if I just call them back which I think might just be a signal problem.
As far as the rebooting issue, your phone will reboot itself if there is low memory for the phone to function meaning there is something running in the background that you don't necessarily see when you open the recent apps to close. That's why I got task killing apps that help close apps that you don't want running (Clean Master App does it pretty well). As for me the only time I get reboots is when I'm running multiple apps that's a bit intensive causing my phone's memory to drop down to like 300MB +/- 100MB like games plus some messenger apps to talk to people I play with. Worst case scenario is that you going to have to contact Tmo or Samsung for warranty and best case scenario is you just figure out whats running background or clear cache now and then.

Do a full Wipe (Wipe Data, System, Dalvik Cache and Cache) and go back to stock. That's how I solved all of my problems

I think I've read in a couple of threads that if you let it sit for 5 minutes after it comes back up after a full wipe and then just cancel out of all the automatic setup screens, then reboot and set it up manually it seems to fix this. I haven't had the problem so I can't verify this, but hey, anything is worth a try.
Good luck.
Hi all, first of all... I am posting this here because I've discovered this "feature" via my S10, but it probably isn't necessarily a S10 feature. It just never happened with my S7 and my work iPhone doesn't replicate it either.
Right, so if you open a private message/conversation on Instagram and with your screen on, flip the phone with the screen facing down, it will start recording audio (you will notice a little vibration if you have vibrations activated).
The behaviour gets even weirder if you keep your phone facing down long enough before you turn it again... as the screen stays completely switched off but the app still records audio. It takes a few tries to turn the screen back on. However, if you turn the phone again shortly after the vibration, it will flash back on again.
Anybody noticed this before? Is quite unusual and I cannot really tell why this is even a feature... other than secretly recording a conversation?
Huh, just tried it and you are totally right. I'm guessing it's a bug. I never send direct messages on instagram but that definitely seems like it could be a big problem. I tried a quick google search and couldn't find anything about it either.
It's so you can put your phone up to your face (like if you had a phone call) it will record an audio message for you automatically. It's doing what it is supposed to but it does make sense to be a little bit worried about this. Instagram should implement some way to disable this feature.
Its like the same on whatsapp when you listening to an voice message and And tilt your phone in your hand as if you were on the phone it will be black too thats a stupid function in the s10
