I recently noticed I wasn't getting any sound when I play Pandora. Also, my phone stopped ringing, speaker phone doesn't work. The only thing that works is vibrate. I did several hard resets and also wiped the phone from the bootloader. After hard resetting, and before installing any apps or making any changes to the phone, I tried calling myself to see if the speakers work, but they do not. I can make calls, so the earpiece works fine. Any ideas?
Update: Problem solved! I removed the battery 3 times before it eventually worked.
I have an idea!!!
Trying posting in the correct forum. That may yield you better results.

Nb... actually I've discovered that sound seems to disappear altogether, not just for calls.
I'm having an odd issue with my TP2: audio seems to inermittently stop working during calls.
Sometimes it works fine and other times there's no audio at all (either held to ear or on speaker). On speaker, there's a buzzing noise but nothing discernable at all.
The change from audio to no audio can occur mid call, but I haven't figured out if anything in particular is happening at the time. If I soft reset I get audio back, although it does sometimes also come back on its own.
I'm using a 6.5 rom (TPC 5.5) and the most recent radio.
Any ideas?
Anyone have any suggestions on this?
why dont you hard reset???
Howdy all,
The other day my other halfs' Wildfires' speaker decided to stop working for no reason. Can still make phonecalls etc, and the headphones work, but its like its stuck on silent all the time!
Read somewhere it could be to do with a recently installed app, so factory reset it but no change. Also saw it could be something to do with something in the headphone socket not clicking back properly when they are removed, but she's never used the headphones, but tried that anyway, still with no luck.
Never been flashed or anything, totally standard.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Tarq

Perhaps it is me, but what do you mean by this?
1. You cannot go out of silent mode in terms of "set phone volume to vibrate or noice" by using the volume buttons. In that case:
- make sure that your volume buttons work (by using them to regulate audio of, for example, your radio).
- try if you can solve the problem by going into "options of your phone - sound".
If they do not work, try to flash a ruu. If still not solved, I'm afraid you should open your phone to see if the connectors of the volume buttons are still in place (i've had this with my previous phone). But perhaps wait for other advice before doing so
2. You can get out of the silent ringer mode, but still the phone doesnt make any noice. My best guess then is that it related to software in the system folder which controls your device at the system level, or perhaps with the kernel?
I do not know if the the systemfolder is restored when you do a factory reset..
It couldn't do harm if you flash a ruu in my opinion. The all software related issues are ruled out then.
It can't be the hardware as you can still hear people talking to you while phoning without headset. Nor can it be a messed up jack-in, as all the sound should be transfered to the headphone, and it shouldn't be possible to call and here people without headset.
To summerize: I think it is still software, and that it should be possible to solve it by flashing a kernel or restoring bynusing a RUU.

so heres my problem,i went to sleep and everything was perfectly fine last night, then when i woke up this morning now my nexus doesnt play any media sound (youtube,netflix ect),
nor do i hear anything when i make a phone call ( no ringing, the persons voice.. even when i call my voicemail.. nothing !)
the weird thing is i can hear my notifications, the beep when you use the volume rocker, and the ringtones when i tested them in settings.
ive tried a factory reset and it has not helped.
Can some1 figure out a solution? im going crazy lol

Did you recently use headphones or Bluetooth audio? Although a factory reset should have taken care of that.

ive used the headphones that came with them for a bit yesterday. and ive used it with my bluetooth for some time. but when i did take it off it was still working last night .
and i just did my 2nd factory reset but this time i didnt enter any of my google info to see if it happened to be one of the apps or settings i had backed up. still no voice or media. just the little notifications and things
edit: it did have a single random reboot yesterday during a phone call.
edit#2: the voice calls seem to work once i put it on speaker, but the phone will take it off speaker abt 2 seconds after its turned on
Not in a 2G area are you?
I've had the same issue. I have my sound turned all the way up but no media is being heard through the speakers/headphones/bluetooth speakers, no matter what I change. The sound does still play for notifications though. Any suggestions, or was op able to fix the issue?

To update my original post, the audio will play through my headphones if I plug them in to the audio jack, but not through the phone speakers or through my bluetooth headphones.
I have this same problem, confirmed defective when I took it into the store, they are exchanging it tomorrow.
Wow ok. I didn't want to have to return, was hoping it was a software thing with an easy fix. I think I will also be exchanging this for a new unit as well though. I don't want to take the risk on such an expensive device. It should work perfectly without any hiccups.
If anyone else has any experiences with this please let us know.
Thanks!
I ended up returning and exchanging with a new phone. No issues with the new one
i am having the same issue. no speaker sounds. headphones work just fine. phone call speaker works just fine. BT steaming works just fine.
its just the speaker that doesnt work...if i revert back to stock...will that work?
thanks!
I installed the Xfinity TV Player App on my Epic 4g yesterday (stock FC09) and I am having a weird problem since where I am unable to hear any sounds from my phone speaker (media, system sounds, phone calls) except for notifications/ring tones. The microphone also does not seem to be working during my phone calls since the person on the other end cannot hear me. However, the speakers and microphone work just fine if I use my earbuds - I would just prefer to not have to pull them out all the time just to answer a phone call. It can't be a hardware problem with my phone since I hear ring tones just fine, so I figure it has to be a software problem.
All volumes in my sound settings are at max. Powering off and turning back on the phone doesn't fix it. I have uninstalled and re-installed and uninstalled the Xfinity player app with no change. (I don't know if this is relevant, but when I installed the app, after installation I got the "low internal memory" message and then when I uninstalled, it gave me a message that it did not uninstall properly.)
I would prefer not to hard reset my phone if possible, but I can't think of anything else I might try. Any input would be much appreciated - thank you!
Hi guys, I did a search in this Arc forum for In ear Speaker problems and couldn't find anything, so I chose to start a new thread. Just know I DID try to find info for this phone but I only found a few other threads about different phones.
My in-ear speaker does not work in calls. It is extremely quiet, as if the volume is turned all the way down. Thing is, I try turning up the in-call volume during a call and it does nothing. But the weird thing is, I went into the service menu to test the hardware (using the *#*#7378423#*#* trick) and tested the in-ear speaker and it works fine! Loud and clear! But then immediately following that I'll try a call and still will hear practically nothing. Putting the call on speakerphone allows me to hear the other party, as well as putting in a headset, so I am stumped. Tried pulling the battery and have rebooted the phone many times and the problem is still persisting.
AND, on top of ALL of that, the damn thing was working just fine the other day. I switched to this phone last week and have been making calls successfully being able to hear the other party just fine. But suddenly today it's deciding to not work in a call. This is really weird.
Has anyone else had this problem? What else can I try to fix it? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Blah a hard reset fixed it. Feel free to delete this post mods!
