I'm having a strange issue with my audio. My phone is completely stock, haven't rooted it yet. Sometimes, even though I have the ringer turned on, the ringtones for my different notifications won't play, and only a reboot brings them back, at least until the problem starts again within a few hours. Any know what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it?

After checking couple of forums, I realized that this is a general bug for Android. Many people complain about it but it seems nobody could find an exact solution. I will try to explain the problem to be more precise.
Even though "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is checked as "Always", when the phone goes to sleep it doesn't connect to internet.
Wifi signal shows it is connected but it is not. I have to disable/enable wifi in order to make it work.
You can see many posts regarding to this issue. It looks like people acquiesced the problem since nobody found an exact problem.
Is there any solution that you could find?

I have GSM Nexus also.
I bought it 3 days ago. I noticed it right after I powered it on. I had similar issue with my HTC Desire.
Now I installed a ROM to try it and still no luck. I started to think that problem is because of modem.
What ROM & Kernel are you using?

This happens to me. I picked up some gameloft games in the 99 cent sale and downloading 800mb over wifi is impossible. The screen turns off and the download fails.
I found I have to set the screen to stay on when on USB, plug it into a wall, and download.
I've been on several roms. I haven't started experimenting with kernels but thats the fix I think in this case. Even CM roms do this. Hopefully it isn't hard coded into the hardware.

You could set your screen sleep policy to wait 30minutes to turn off. Surely wouldn't take longer than that.
+1...downloading game loft games is not possible. The game only downloads on wifi but the download stops after the screen goes to sleep.
Edit: Just tried downloading 300mb of game loft game data and it works even when screen is off. Im on AOKP BUILD 17, I definitely had this problem on stock 4.0.2.

I had the same problem with my stock rom. I still have problem. I didn't try any other rom until now. I think I should give a try.

I am my second Galaxy Nexus due to other issues. The first one did not have this wifi sleep issue, but my current GN does ( I installed a VOIP app on the second that was not on the first... not sure if this has anything to do with the wifi sleep issue). I think I may have found a work around. I changed the setting to never and tested a few times. Then I changed it to always again and now wifi remains on while the phone sleeps. I have tested it a few times and so far it is still working. I will update the post if the problem reoccurs.
Stock ROM (4.0.2)
You know what,I have the opposite issue.my wifi never shuts off.... I just leave it.wifi on this is way way way more battery efficient than my galaxy s. Even the cell radios are pretty awesome. Hardly take any battery at all.

I updated my kernel and its fixed. Downloaded MC3 finally.

Strange problem just started. My Sprint GN is not rooted.
Just this week, after playing music or podcasts in my car over bluetooth, when I disconnect the bluetooth (turn my car off) the media volume on the phone resets to zero. After noticing it, I would disconnect the bluetooth with the screen on and I can see the media volume control pop-up on the screen and reset it self to zero.
My phone is always on vibrate, but this just started happening out of the blue. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Any thoughts? Thanks.
Same thing happened to me last night. Kinda.
When I reconnected to Bluetooth my music wouldn't play. Trying to figure out why I noticed my media volume was zero'd out. I turned it back up and it still wouldn't play any audio.
I rebooted the phone and it worked just fine.

Reboots have not fixed it for me.
Solution?
I had the exact same problem with my Verizon GNex. I uninstalled Songza and Turntable.FM, and the problem went away. Not sure which app was the offender, but I didn't really use either of them anyways.

I was experiencing the same issues on my Verizon GNex and I removed Turntable.fm and it seams to have fixed the issue so it looks like that is the culprit.

Confirmed, just uninstalled Turntable.fm and it's back to normal. Thanks.
I had the same issue on my HTC One X...uninstalled Turntable.fm and the problem went away, thanks for the heads up!
Hi all
I acquired my Gnexus about a month ago, and the nexus has lived up to its name, being the predecessor of my nexus s. However, a few weeks ago a very strange bug has began manifesting itself. Whenever my phone was not in silent mode, a ringtone would keep playing, over and over again, while there were no incoming notifications. In fact the offending ringtone in question isn't even set to anything in my system sounds! This is particularly strange because even when I used TiBU to freeze just about any sound-making app that could have been causing this (alarm apps, music apps etc) the strange sound continues.
Here is a video of what I am talking about. You may need to crank up volume a little bit to hear it, but it's definitely there, and recurring incessantly. I showed my notification bar and running apps, as I have no idea what could be causing it. I'm running stock JRO0C rooted, with unlocked bootloader. This did not happen before my bootloader was unlocked, and even after that I did not recall it happening for a long time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7r-Deeu6ME&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The strange thing is, even after a full wipe/factory reset via cwm and flashing over another rom (bigxie's stock, rooted JRO0C with busybox preinstalled), the problem persisted, on my brand new rom with no apps installed! I really have no idea what's going on, is this going on at system level? I did try formatting /system in cwm but that made it unable to boot past the google logo, strangely, so I had to revert to an old cwm backup.
If anyone could enlighten me on any solutions or reasons causing this, I'd be mightly grateful. The sound, and most of all not knowing the reason behind it and how I could possibly absolve it, has been driving me nuts, it really is such a strange and inexplicable problem, not knowing why is so confounding, even with all your knowledge and experience of android!

Stock kernel? I recall this being an issue with the CM7 build for the Fascinate, and was due to a kernel bug. Outside of that, I couldn't tell you where to begin.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yep, stock just about everything, only rooted. I used the nexus toolkit to install though, and I'm not sure if that actually flashes an insecure boot.img or not, so might that be the problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I don't think the insecure about image would cause a phantom ringtone or others would have reported by now. Sounds like something is misfiring. I'd seek greater knowledge of how to identify the issue (given that you have root access) from one of the much more experienced folks on XDA.

What's that? Only game I have is mass effect infiltrator (thank you 25c sale) lol. I'm pretty sure it's a ringtone sound but I can't for the life of me identify it since I don't use it for any of my volume ringtones!
I might have to relock my bootloader again when I have the time to backup everything on internal memory, because this wasn't present when my bl was locked on purchase.

Haha,I stayed just shy of saying that in order not to tick off the more superstitious types here it's not the seventh month though! (Where I'm from, supposedly 7th month is "hungry ghosts month")
The sound is bloody annoying though.

Isn't that the battery low notification? Perhaps check your battery and any app and setting that could affect the sounds. Setcpu, system settings, pull battery. That is all I can think of.

Oh and try turning NFC off. And try another battery if possible. Battery chip could be borked and telling system low on battery.
...
It's your NFC chip alert (as if it's trying to communicate with another NFC device). Mine does the same thing if I put my phone on my wallet.
Yep sounds like NFC, coupled with the fact that you randomly have your phone sitting on a wallet?.... Either a jolly good trolling, or you have a solution. Post a video of your phone doing that without a wallet touching it and/or NFC turned off in settings.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, next time I'll listen to the embedded file in the OP. Definitely your NFC trying to read something with an NFC tag in your wallet. Happened to me when my military ID got too close while screen was unlocked.

thanks all, turns out that because I have my transit ID card at the back of my phone case it sets off the nfc like crazy, constantly. Didn't reply for a few days cos I couldn't find the thread, but thanks all for your advice, finally solved this headache

Hey, i'm new to the forms so i just though i'd give you a background on my problem. Basically at random times when i try to turn up or down the volume the phone won't let me. Its almost like volume is disabled. I thought it could be an app or the recent firmware update but it seems like that ins't the problem. The only way i can get my volume to work is by rebooting my phone. Then i can adjust the volume for a few hours, until it happens again. I've had this problem for about a week now and its extremely annoying. I apologize if this is not in the correct category.
The attached imaged is what it looks like when i cannot adjust my volume.
Same Problem Here
I have the exact same problem. It's very annoying as I pretty much have to restart my phone at least once a day just for some volume.
I've had it happen randomly too. Only solution I've seen is a reboot

What roms are you guys using? I see its not stock so if you all have the same one its probably the rom causing the problem.
Odin back to stock snd see if it still happens.

Hi,
I have asked this a few times but don't get any where and really need to resolve this.
When i get a call I don't get the option to answer for about 5 seconds, it makes no difference if the screen is already on and i am using it, or the screen is off.
The phone rings but the answer/hang up do not appear. Very frustrating and embarrassing if stood in a quiet office and the phone is making noise and i cant stop it lol.
I have factory reset and clean install of PA beta 3 with stock Gapps and still have the same problem. Currently on stock kernal as well although will now change to Franco as it does this issue before installing it d=so is not connected to that.
Please any one with any ideas as i dont want to leave PA but might have to if cant fix this issue.
