Since I've taken the OTA kit kat a few months back, hangouts has started reading all my text messages out loud. I don't have driving mode enabled and Talk back is turned off. Is there something I am missing short of factory reset? I reset the defaults for all the apps and that didn't fix the problem either. The guy in the verizon store was stumped too since they only train them to use the stock messaging app. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. It's getting pretty annoying.

You try just doing a factory reset in the stock recovery?
I've done the factory reset before and it's a really PITA to say the least but it's looking like I might have to go that route, was hoping someone would have a simple solution. Anywho.......

Hey all,
For the last month or so, my vibration functions are very spotty. Particularly when typing, the haptic feedback will just go out, which in turn turns of ALL vibration. It will either randomly come back on on its own, or locking then unlocking will fix, sometimes turning haptics off then back on will sort of fix, and mostly tapping on the back will fix. I dunno if it's hardware or not, but it happened while I was on stock, and then I flashed an SBF and unlocked the bootloader, then installed the beta 4.5 GB ROM a few weeks ago, and I'm still getting it worse than ever.
My question to you all is:
1. Do you THINK there's any way I can fix this myself (i.e. is this a software issue?)
2. If not, and it's possibly a hardware issue, what are my options? I'm WELL beyond the 30 days thing, and of course my warranty is quite void now. Is there anywhere I can get it fixed, even if it costs some?
Subscribed. I have had the same issue with my phone for a few months now, and it's starting to annoy me. Even after two major updates and factory resets, haptic feedback only works when it feels like it.
Edit: I've also noticed that g talk and gmail are not staying logged in. Push notification from my gmail inbox is very delayed and it seems every time I hit the gtalk shortcut, it has to log in. And no, they aren't set to auto end in task manager.
I'm not sure about that Gtalk and Gmail thing...but yeah, nothing has helped my haptic feedback to work consistently. The SBF and ROM flash cured other problems I was having, but not this. There MUST be somewhere I can get this fixed! I'm hesitant to open the phone up myself because one, I don't know how and two, I dunno what to look for lol.
I don't want to send it in and wait like 10 or so days to have my phone (what can I do in between?), especially because if my warranty is void they'd probably receive the phone and say they can'd do anything and I'd have wasted time.

Sometimes they will still fix the phone after void warranty when its obviously a manufacturing error. try contacting motorola support or looking on the motorola support forums.
if you're using a google apps account instead of a gmail account then that may explain gtalk problems. it's a noted problem, and we experience it on our domain as well. We haven't encountered the gmail problem though.

I'm using the gmail account I've had for years, the lack of a persistentconnection to the gmail and talk servers happened quite suddenly. I also had this problem with my Captivate, but it resolved itself, so I'm kindof lost. This has been going on for more than a week now.
Hi Everyone,
I have switched over to the Galaxy S2 a little over a month ago. I moved from a Blackberry because of its own issues and having to reboot the phone etc.. but that is neither here nor there...
Before i updated the phone with ICS my Sms and Email notification sounds would work, all the time from what I remember. But now the phone sometimes plays the notification sounds and sometimes it doesnt. All my sounds are turned up full.
I am waiting on a loaner phone from my provider but until then I was hoping to fix it myself.
So today I did a factory reset and the phone did its thing. The notification sounds were working for the most part of the day and now I have a recieved a few texts and emails and the notification sounds didnt sound.
I have searched this problem and really have came up with nothing on this issue.
A few things i did notice though, after i did a factory reset on the phone that when it completed it still had the ICS op on the phone, shouldnt the factory reset have "re-formated" the phone and brought it down to gingerbread?
I apologize if this is lengthy but it is better to tell the issues and what I have done to try and rectify the issues incase some of the things that I have done is what would be suggested.
Thanks for any suggestions and help
Ok i figured out the problem... in the developer options i had selected kill processes after use. When i unchecked it the sound notifications for sms worked properly again.
Problem solved.

I'm not sure why but my notification sounds will stop working at a random times. I have to restart my phone to get them working again. I'll have text messages and email without a peep from my phone. Notification volume is at Max and will even play the default tone when adjusted but will not play a notification sound or vibrate for any event until I restart.
I can also now confirm that both my at&t GSIIs with ICS do this but mine seems to be more frequent.
Anyone having this issue?

have ya done a factory reset? Pulled battery for a few? checked the water things inside the phone?
all **** at&t will ask you to do.
Factory reset will most likely fix, or its just the fact that your running a stock at&t build.
I've done all of the above and no a factory reset didn't fix it.
Also my phone is not the only phone this issue is affecting. Both of my GSIIs are doing it plus the other folks if you look at the other forum posts.

I wonder the same thing. Why do people think this place is the help desk? Especially for phones running stock. Boggles the mind it does.

So let me begin by saying the phone in question is a Kyocera Echo for Sprint. Yes, everyone hates it, yes we already know most believe it was a flop. But, I have one, it's been messed up for months and it's driving me nuts because I can't figure it out. I've been to three sprint stores and have talked to countless reps who have no idea. I thought I might be able to throw this out there and get some ideas from you guys on what you think it may be and possible solutions.
Long story short, on Froyo the phone works fine. If I attempt to upgrade, whether I revert to stock or remain rooted... all attempts of an ota fail with an error code. Usually the phone will still run, occasionally it'll boot loop. Now if I flash any version past Froyo, everything on the phone works fine except messaging. If I attempt to send a text message, it just says sending below it and stays that way like it's doing nothing. If someone sends me a text I never receive it.
I have flashed every variation of recovery and roms, stock or otherwise and it's a no go. It can't be a hardware issue because it works fine in Froyo. I've tried using alternate messaging apps.. handcent, gosms.. same thing, just sending.
I've flashed the hell out of this and am out of ideas. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes of the stock messaging app and how to tell what is causing it to hang. Is the Gingerbread messaging app identical to Froyo? Can I somehow pull the Froyo messaging and put it into a Gingerbread rom? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have been rooting and installing custom roms for a while. I'm no expert, but now newb either. I recently rooted my S4. It's running on the stock verizon ME7 build.
The problem I have been having is that a few minutes after I reboot it all the sounds stop working. No music, notification or in call sounds. If I restart it goes away for a little while, but soon comes back. I tried factory defaulting it, which worked for a little while, but it recently started doing it again. The only thing I can think of is I installed avast Anti-theft with root access recently. Has anyone else had this problem & do you know of a solution? I can always try factory defaulting it again to see if that helps, but I would like to know if anyone else has any ideas.
Odined back
I tried everything I could thing of, then decided to Odin back to stock. Same problem started almost immediately . There are no system sounds and I can not hear anything when I call. Also it does not pick up sounds from my voice via voice commands & the person on the other end of my calls can not hear me. At this point I wonder if blocking is some how activated. Since Verizon was nice enough to prevent me from making changes to it I can't check.... Upwards on onward. I will keep this updated in-case someone else has this problem.
I have noticed that when I am in recovery, if I try to wipe the cache partition. I get a android on his back with a triangle exclamation point & then it reboots itself... Is this normal. I have never experienced this behavior before.
I installed the blocking mode MOD. It does not seem to be the problem. No sounds after using the phone for a few minutes. I guess its time to send it back. I really enjoyed the phone. But I seems like a received a bad one. Unless anyone has anythoughts.
When your sound stops have you tried to see if it is working with headphones or Bluetooth? If there is no sound using headphones or a Bluetooth device there's probably an issue with the phone itself. If you've done a stock Odin flash and its still doing it, I would have to guess the phone is bad. Send it back. The only problem you might have is if they check the flash count, you may end up paying for a new phone. I've never had to use Triangle Away to reset my flash counter, but I believe it needs to be flashed in a custom recovery (which you don't have).
