[Q] Pop Sound From Speaker when Turning Off

I just noticed this recently, maybe a day or two, but when I turn off my phone, I hear a loud sound from the speaker, not exactly sure what it is. Is this a phone problem?

Shouldn't be a weirs pop loud sound.
There's an option in sounds to enable or disable screen lock sound. Try disabling it and see if that fixes it

I tried that, it doesn't seem like the lock screen sound. I don't know how you'd describe it other than imagine force shutting down an old laptop by holding the power button and you hear some part of the computer shutting of instantly, but loudly? thats the best i can do lol

I noticed that sound too. But only once using a reboot tool. Uninstalled the app. Nothing since.

I got it a few times while doing unlocking/rooting, just about jumped from my seat the 1st time heh. Not during normal off/resets.

Same thing
Has anyone found a solution to this? I get it every time I reboot. Powering off normally doesn't 'pop'.

Almost mute stock 2.3 camera with no root

I added an experimental feature to my free Earpiece app which lets you almost mute the camera click and autofocus on stock 2.3 for the E4GT. Doesn't need root. I only tested on EL29. I am curious if it works on other OS versions and devices, but the E4GT is the only Android phone I have.
To use this feature, run Earpiece, press MENU, and then select the quiet camera option. In my experience, the autofocus can be heard quietly but the camera click is only audible if your ear is right up to the device.
I am curious if this works on anything other than E4GT with stock 2.3. If it doesn't work for you but you want it to, get Android Log Collector, take a photo with the stock camera app, go to log collector, and email me the log (arpruss at gmail dot com).
Earpiece does a few other audio-related things, like automatically switching between speaker and earpiece in phone calls based on proximity, boosting audio, and allowing you to listen to media through the earpiece speaker (e.g., so you can listen to radio without earphones in public, looking like you're just talking on the phone).

Thank you for this app. I ve been looking for an app like this for a long time. I wish it could mute the camera completely but thank you...

No surprise there. Send me the click log as per my post above and I'll see if I can make it work.
But anyway doesn't CM have its own option for turning off the camera sound?

Jelly Bean sound at half volume after call

The issue I am seeing is when music is being played on the phone and a call comes in, afterwards the music turns back on but only at half the volume. All volume indicators are at max and system sounds come through at that level. If I close the music player and re-launch the volume returns to what the phone is set at.
To put a bit of history into this issue, I had actually installed the vicious (I think) JB image on my phone back a while before it was officially released by verizon. With that release, I saw the exact same issue. I tend to listen to recorded music a lot during the day, so with this little glitch I took the phone back to ICS.
But now with the official release on the verizon network the exact same problem is happening. Mostly I have music recorded from DAR.fm and play it through that app. I do have some music in google music but can't quite remember how the details of it resuming after a call went.
So, while I'm querying the app dev guys for the various music programs I wanted to see if anybody else has seen this type of issue.
Thanks

I'm running CM10 and I notice the same issue but for notification sounds. When the sound alerts, it dims the music volume. Once the notification is done sounding, the music volume does not return to normal.

Glad I'm not the only one seeing this.
I know issues brought up here have been noticed by the folks working on the official releases, but is there any system in place to report specific issues like this to either google dev or samsung?

There's an option in Settings > Sound I believe that sets the volume to half, it's called "Safe Headset Volume" try disabling that and see if it fixes your issue.

where exactly is this setting? I didn't see anything about headset volume anywhere in the sound settings panel.

This is only on CM10, just FYI.

ah ok. I am running the standard JB pushed out by verizon.

Sorry about that, I just know that, that was an exact feature on CM10. I don't know why it would be happening on stock unless this is a built in option to Android that is unconfigurable on stock.

Since I tried running a JB build before, and saw this exact same issue a few months before JB was even pushed out by VZ, I'm wondering if this is a bug pretty deep in JB regardless of the build. Never had the issue with ICS.

Which volume are you talking about? Speaker, headphones, or Bluetooth? I use BT audio for music in my car, and I have no problems after calls or after notification sounds (volume dims, then rises again). However I *do* have a problem where GPS is too quiet, even when music is loud.
This is music played by the Pandora app BTW.

I notice this issue when I am listening to audio through the phone speaker. Not the greatest but it's ok. I have had the phone hooked up to external speakers and it has done the same thing. I check the volume levels in settings and everything is full. Don't have any devices for playing BT audio so I can't try that one. The notification sounds and other system sounds do seem to be at the proper levels, just not the previous playing music.
I am assuming this is a bug relating to the volume transition post-call, but I'm no developer so I'm just identifying the obvious points.
The app I am using is the DAR.fm app for recorded radio shows.

Randomly Increasing Audio Volume

I don't know why this is, but it's frustrating beyond explanation: Every once in a while the volume of my device changes. This is not an "official" change, as I always have this thing at the lowest volume possible, but every once in a while after a reboot or just out of nowhere, that lowest volume most definitely becomes louder. I'm accustomed to a low volume, so for my notification and ringtone to suddenly be louder always startles the hell out of me.
I cannot figure out why this is, and I realize the number of things that could be causing this is dependent on what apps I have which are far too numerous to list, so I'm hoping someone else has had this problem and knows the solution.
Thank you all in advance

Cm12 has a setting in sounds and notification that gradually increases volume over time. If you're on sense there is a setting that increases the volume if the phone is in your pocket or turned face down.

Unfortunately this isn't it - I have "Pocket mode" and "Quiet ring on pickup" both unchecked (unrooted, stock). I also thought it might be somehow tied to Media volume, as the app I notice this primarily in is Google Hangouts (that's about the only sound-notification I get outside phone calls), but that's at a vol of 1 along with everything else.

I have no idea then. I had volume issue with hangouts in particular in the past but it was from the volume being to quiet. Maybe try a different ringtone for it. I'm not sure what else to suggest.

[Q] [8.4] Lack of sound with speakers working properly.

Guys,
Don't know why or how this happened but from one day to another my tablet has lost the capacity to produce sound for example with music, youtube etc.. But the speakers DO work because when I press the shutter button on camera it makes the kwnown sound, when a notification arrives it sounds it and so forth....
I've changed roms, made factory reset, now I'm back with the stock samsung rom but still can't get sound to work with basically any applicacion.
With headphones there isn't a problem, its just the speakers. So weird.
Any ideas?

I have a feeling the speakers are damaged from water damage or something to that lines, this isn't fixable with software
