VERY odd... varios system sounds are now inaudible...

I noticed this earlier today and it's driving me NUTS!! Various system sounds (so far I've found the dialing tone, lock/unlock click, and default keyboard sounds) all of a sudden are practically inaudible. I can hear them but only if I hold the speaker up to my ear while dialing, typing, etc. All volume levels are turned up all the way like I always have them, what gives?!? I'm very confused by this...

Possibly blown speakers? Have you tried music?
Swyped from my sexy EVO.

are you sure your system volume is up? You can check it with Audio Manager.

Uhh yeah like I said, all volume levels are ALL the way up.

Nope not blown as ringtones, etc. come through the speaker just fine.

You running stock? Try a reset/clean flash?

Yes everything is stock and I'm trying to avoid the obvious (resetting the phone)
Are all of these things y'all have suggested not obvious to the average user? I don't mean to be rude in the least but I always try several things to fix an issue before I seek out help...

haha. you may be surprised sometimes Always got to cover all the bases.
I have no idea what's causing you issues, but I experience something sort of simlar, and have yet to figure it out. I don't use any audio feedback or lockscreen unlock sounds or anything like that. My ringer and notifications always work fine. The thing for me that is odd, is my boot animation sound. No matter what sound I use, it plays halfway through EXTREMELY loud, and then it suddenly cuts to about 1/3 the volume that it started playing at. It's random, and doesn't happen every time, but definitely enough for me to notice. I have no idea what causes it, but wouldn't be surprised if it's the same type of issue.

Download an app called audio manager. Your system volume got stuck down and won't go up without that type of app, since we cannot change it in settings.

+1 same thing happened to me and that was the only way i could fix it

AudioManager allows you to change the system sound settings, which is otherwise impossible via the standard Android interface. That solved my problem.

[Q] [RESOLVED!] G2 issues - car dock/speaker phone

I bought a G2 second hand a few months ago and it's served faithfully, but I think by using a belt pouch with a magnetic closure hosed it up - if not, then the timing is one hell of a coincidence as these both started right at about the same time.
First problem - car home keeps popping up. I've been able to disable it, but if the G2 is like many other phones, it uses a magnet to sense whether or not it's in a car dock.
Second problem - speaker phone. The phone defaults to the speaker phone when I place a call or answer one, leaving me to have to turn off the speaker in favor of the earpiece.
It's not ROM specific - I've tried various ROMs in an attempt to remedy but I think the damage is done.
Any thoughts? Am I completely off in left field here?
Edit - 5/17
Issue resolved by performing a SuperWipe and then reinstalling ROM!

I had the same issue. Couldn't figure out how to fix it other than using titanium backup to uninstall car home.

I did a battery pull seems to have fixed the issue.

I've done a number of battery pulls - didn't help :-(

Well for ****s and giggles I reinstalled car home from titanium no more random car home launches or speaker phone issues. Maybe try a super wipe? then reinstall a new rom?

HUH? What the??? LOL!
Maybe I'll give it a whirl - just for ****s and giggles and all that

Lots of ****s and lots of giggles - it actually worked!

Glad to see that worked! hopefully it stays that way

Go figure - I never would have thought that it would have done anything, but, I was willing to try pretty much anything! I've thanked a couple of your posts to get you up off of zero thanks

[Q] Caller Can't Hear Me

This has been happening on my Epic 4G for awhile now and it's really frustrating. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been happening the whole time I've owned the phone, but at this point it's hard to really remmber.
Basically, when I make or receive a call, within a couple\few minutes of the phone call the caller suddenly can't hear me - this happens whether it's using the phone normally, in speakerphone mode, or even a headset. As soon as it happens and the other caller starts the "Hello? Are you still there?" I can fix it by toggling the speaker on and off (or off and on) and it fixes it - but it can suddenly start again at anytime...couple of minutes later, five minutes later, etc.
Right now I'm slowly removing apps from my phone after every call this happens on - my goal is to determine if a particualr app is confusing my phone. I don't think it's the ROM or modem I'm using (Frozen 1.2, EC05) as I did a stock flash and flashed to those just recently and others aren't having the same problem. I DID restore some data so if I can't narrow down an app that's causing it, not restoring any data is my next option (but even more time consuming to figure out specifically which data is causing issues).
I'm pretty sure the phone hasn't always done this so I don't want to exchange the phone considering I don't have any other issues and I think this is software, not hardware related. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?

Have you tried switching Roms, I have this same problem on EC05 when I moved to gingerbread it stopped happening.......
Do you voodoo installed?

I do have Voodoo installed (since it comes with Frozen 1.2). I haven't tried switching ROMs yet but I have started looking again (I was pretty content with Frozen but if no one had a similar issue and changing the modem doesn't work then a ROM switch is my next try).
Thanks to others who suggested changing modems - I'm going to do that now and see if EE03 fixes this....*crosses fingers*

Yes! Mine started doing this a couple months ago, and I resolve it exactly the same way (though I have to hit the volume button once, either up or down, then toggle speaker on then off). It's definitely not the ROM because I've had it with both Froyo and GB ROMs. Unfortunately, I haven't found any other solution, yet. I'm hoping it will go away with official GB, but I have no real reason to think it will work. I'm going to play around with the Voodoo sound.

you guys shouldn't be having this problem make a backup then odin to ec05 stock and check if you still have the issue if you do just take it to sprint and show the tech your problem they should fix it or get you a replacement phone.

I have the same issue. I am completely stock. It usually happens 10 to 15 minutes into a phone call. I've already called sprint, taken it to a store but only reflashed the os, and I just recently spoke to someone on chat, who said the problem has been solved. If it happens again should I get a replacement phone?

Blankrubbers fix actually worked for me

I had this problem as well. I odinned stock and problem solved. Now I'm back on bonsai with no problems.

speak up i can't hear you

Sadly even after changing modems and making the adjustment in Voodoo Control I still have the same problem. Going to uninstall Voodoo all together and see if that resolves anything.

I just discovered that I'm having the same problem after I Odin'd back to stock EC05 for a different reason. So, EC05 and EC05 modem, and I'm having a problem that I didn't think I was having before I tried EF02.
Could something have been changed that going back to EC05/EC05 modem didn't resolve?

This problem is not generated by Voodoo. I have a stock Epic (rooted) and have never had Voodoo installed on my device and I have intermittently had this problem in the past (haven't seen it for a while, though). My friend has an Epic (never rooted) and also has this problem.
About the only thing I've heard that people have said fixes this is to wipe cache and dalvik and then flash something using Odin. Stock or custom I don't think matters.

As others have noted, uninstalling Voodoo didn't fix it for me. I think what must be causing this is everytime I wipe and install a clean ROM I restore some data through TiBackup and SOMETHING I'm restoring is causing this. Guess I'll just have to wipe and be very careful about what I'm restoring.

This might be completely random, but by chance did other people that experience this problem happen to install NZBAir?

No Sound after HeadPhone Use

Here is my problem
The problem is that after using my Nexus with headphones, there is no sound through the built-in speaker after unplugging the headphones. Using headphones again does work. Essentially the Droid is stuck in Headphone mode. So the nexus always thinks during a phone call im in headphone mode.
A user TRTG from DF.net made an app called audiotoggle. It dont work as good as I thought it would.
My question is how do you fix this? I asked in the rom section of the rom in using with no answers. Does anyone know what could be wrong? How to fix this?

Have you tried a reboot?

Yes I did a reboot. Also wiped cache and delvik to see if that would help. I have to use audiotoggle to get it to work but its not 100% working. It will allow me to make a call but the sensor dont work so I hit buttons while on the phone. Plus I have to enable the app before making a call or else I have to use speaker phone.

The same thing happened to me. The only thing I could think of was that the popping sound that I would hear every time I rebooted into recovery had blown out the speaker. I had to take it to Verizon and get a new one (again). Since it was my second return they could only send me a certified "like new" device. Now the volume rocker is loose and my battery smells.

I was hoping it was just a rom thing. Im trying one more thing before getting a replacement.

Bump
Any luck on this? I have the same problem on my Nexus S. Sound seems to be restored only after wiping data, but that's not exactly what I want to do every time I use headphones.

Download android assistant. Go into the settings and go to the volume. If the system volume is all the way down that's your problem. Raise the slider to Max and thank me

99% likely it's a hardware problem. My second warranty replacement had this exact problem, and if I pulled up logcat, I could see it firing HEADSET_PLUGGED events constantly (going from plugged to unplugged). It's not worth fighting for a fix if you're eligible for a replacement, in my opinion -- not that I didn't try it myself.

If you are using Magisk and Lineageos, remove/disable "Audio FX" application which comes with Lineageos.
I used NoBloat Free, since Audio Fx is in system.

Volume boost?

Anyone come up with a volume hack for headphones? On the g2 you could edit the mixerpaths file. Im rooted without twrp and tried that and got stuck in a nice bootloop and had to push the stock rom thru adb to get back up. Once i get twrp i can run thru some settings. Just wondering if anyone else is bummed out by this low volume.

I can say my phone don't need volume boost. Phone sounds great. Have to turn it down. Sounds way better than note 3

The speaker is fine. Although I wish it could go up by one or two when I'm listening through headphones.

Partially hijacking this thread, but does anybody know if there's a hidden way to disable the safe volume warning every time I plug in my headset? This is the most annoying thing on this phone, especially if I do a quick travel to n from lunch and work, I have to keep pressing the volume button again n again. I know most likely it's baked into the ROM, but maybe someone knows something.
OP, you sure this is not the problem you're facing? At first I thought I had gone all the way on the volume, but I realized I had to press it again to boost the volume to the max.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, G3 Tweaksbox has this option. It is under sound tweaks. Then check "Disable Safety Headset Volume"

I tried the V4A version and I must say it did make a bit of a difference in sound boost but one of the main things I use the headphones for at times is making phone calls. When I tried to make a call the volume of the call still sounded low. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have Sirius radio installed and you tube and sound on both definitely improved a bit. I wanted to try the other method by modifiying the path files but I heard some issues causing boot loops and it pretty much scared me away. I'm also still trying to figure out how to install TWRP on my LG G3 since I rooted it manually, I can't figure out how to get it on my device. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Finaly got TWRP on my device.

It's not a problem with the phones volume control but with your hearing ability.
I had hearing tests done last year at the clinic and they said I had very good sense of hearing... kind of a weird thing. Anyways, I can get it to about 75% volume and it's extremely loud. Any more than that is painful.
