Hi All,
I have my Galaxy Nexus about a week now, so far I am quite happy with it. It's my 1st Android. It's a GSM one.
I have noticed an odd issue, and am wondering if others could test and see if they are getting it, on either GSM or 4G.
On to the issue.
It can happen in two different ways with the same outcome.
The first way it happens:
I receive a phone call. I answer the call as normal. I immediately hear the other party on the call for a split second, then a split second later I hear my ringtone through the earpiece for a split second. Then the call will carry on as normal.
Once the call has been finished, I will then notice a delay in certain sounds. E.g. I will try dial another number on the Dialpad, and the tones will be delayed by several seconds or just don't play. And when I hit buttons on the screen, e.g. recent apps, The usual click is delayed by a couple of seconds and is followed by a second click.
If I open the Music app or the YouTube app and play music/video, both audio and video play fine, but when I hit pause on either it will pause then play for a split second again, then pause and stay paused.
Sometimes if I receive another call afterwards; my ringtone will, instead of playing from the start, play from where it was when I answered my last call.
The second way it happens is if I call someone. When I press the hang up button, I will hear a tone in the earpiece, followed by the same tone through the speaker. I will then have all the weird audio bugs as above.
Restarting the phone resolves the post call issues, of course until I receive another call.
As I said, I am wondering if anybody else is experiencing this? It is a little bit odd, to say the least.
So I had a brain wave.
I went through all my apps and did a force stop on every one that was a downloaded non stock app.
I tried the steps above to reproduce the issue and I couldn't.
So It seems that an app I have installed is causing the issue.
Now to find out which one.
I will report back when I do.
And the culprit is Air PlayIt.
I will continue testing other apps just in case.

Hi,
I've been using a DESIRE HD for a long time , suddenly an issue has cropped up
1) My phone automatically uses the speaker when i receive or make a call !
Any Idea why is this happening?
i had the same issue for the last few weeks. i couldn't find a fix so ive just got into a habit of hitting speaker as soon as i make or recieve a call (to turn it OFF speakerphone) But...
the issue has now developed! one i make/recieve a call, and turn off speaker, the speaker continues to flick on and off throughout my call, mainly as it moves, depends on the tilt of the phone during the call. its like an overly sensitive exaggeration of the "flip for speaker" feature, as it happens when its vertical. thing is, ive turned this feature on and off many times to try and resolve it, but it still happens!
has anyone got any ideas that might help???
thanx
I had this happen a few times, so I spent some time trying to figure out how to repeatedly reproduce it. It wasn't too hard.
1) Turn on a youtube video (I think that anything that used the phone's loud speaker would work).
2) Turn your media volume up to max.
3) Hold down the search button to bring up Voice Search.
I suddenly hear static and garbled audio.
4) Cancel (because I only accidentally pressed that button in the first place)
and the static and garbled audio stays around.
After that, I can go to most any audio app (visual voicemail, music beta, pandora, etc) or just get a notification sound from my phone and it will be complete static and garbage.
The first time I fixed it by playing a voicemail via visual voicemail through the normal speaker and then changing it to the loud speaker. That doesn't work every time though. I'm guessing that a reboot would also fix this.
I tried to reproduce this on my other TMO SGS2 both with the Voice Search shipped with the phone and the update from the market. On the one phone it happens with both versions and on the other, it never happens. I'm not sure that this is a hardware issue but I don't have a good explanation either way.
I've tried this a few more times today with a number of different apps and Voice Search and it hasn't reproduced itself. Most apps, like Google Music and Pandora, stop audio output when Voice Search is activated. Only YouTube seems to just ignore the Voice Search and keep going.
Edit: I exchanged my phone and this doesn't happen on the new one. Seems like a bad hardware issue.
I posted this question on a CM 11 Nightly forum with little success and was hoping to find a solution in this general forum. I am on CM 11 d2lte and have sound issues with my speaker when running my voice-mail. I historically would long press #1 on my dialer and access my messages that way, but no when I do that I get the "no messages" voice. I have left myself messages as a test to see if it works and it doesn't.
Here's what happens:
Get a message, go to v-mail app, press play, message starts out fine, but at the end of the message, then sounds turns into a very loud, scratchy, distorted static sound that cannot be turned off or turned down. When the sound stops on it own after about 7-10 seconds, i am not able to access the next message, cannot replay the same message, cannot do anything with the app. I am forced to reboot my system in order to get the next message and then I have to reboot after listening to the same garble...message after message.
1. I see others have had this issue
2. I have seen whacky solutions to this like disabling sms features
3. Does anyone have a real solution to this?
I have tried other Vmail apps and they all create the same sound in the speaker when checking v-mails, which tells me it is a communications issue with the vmail app and the speaker. Thoughts?
I don't necessarily care for a v-mail app...I'd like to be able to get my messages by long pressing #1...anyone?
Solved

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had handcent and got rid of it and now using stock CM sms. No more bad speaker sounds.
Ok, so found a really annoying issue when the watch is set to play phone audio. Basically when you answer a call or make a call from your phone, the functionality of the screen turning off when you put your phone to your ear no longer works, which means you end up controlling your handset with your ear if you ear touches the screen.
Very annoying!
This only happens if the watch is basically setup as bluetooth audio for the phone (as in you can take calls on your watch).
This was already discussed here:

It seems to be a problem in the Google Dialer App. The problem is not present with Samsung phones.
For the moment you'll have to press the power button, to disable the screen. Hopefully a future update of the phone dialer app will fix this, you may support this here:

There is an update MHC19J mentioned for the Nexus 5X, which may improve the situation.
the title says it all... when a play a song it plays fine...when i record sound it records/plays back fine but when in a call i can't hear the person on the other end and they can't hear me...there is no static...no other sounds just silence...im stumped... ive booted into safe mode with the same problem
Did you mute the call?
no sir...it happens every time i call it or make a call from it
Well there are many factors as to why this is happening (hardware, some app that messes up your calls, etc.). But if you are running a custom ROM then I wont be suprised. Its simply a bug.
I suggest you Google for "no sound during call android" and try out the many proposed solutions at the given sites. If you lost hope, just go and see a service center.
