Sounds Stop Working

Searched in several forums but could not find anything, so apologies in advance if I missed it and please post the link.
Intermittently the sounds quit working for all alarms, events, phone, etc... I go into Sounds & Notifications to test and again, no sound. Soft reset corrects the issue, but it will come back again.
No extra media players installed, only the standard from the orignal ROM. I have Lotus Traveler installed which adds a sound event. On another PDA (Touch HD) I have BB Connect installed and it displays the same problem.
FWIW I have also seen this behavior on Kaisers and Touch HDs.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or, even better, a solution.

Sorry I can't help but I've had a similar problem. The slider sound doesn't work! Even after reset! Try changing it and still nothing! The rest of the sounds still works but they seems much quieter than normal! I don't think I've installed anything dodgy! Just seemed to happen! Any help would be great!
Thanks

same issue found in my Diamond as well. Maybe it's an issue in WinMo 6.1 in general

Actually, none of the sounds work! Just makes a noise when you change the volume! Soft reset still doesn't help!
Does anyone know what I could try please?

I have the same problem with my Touch Pro2. Sometimes suddenly the volume goes way down even though it shows its at its max. The volume is really soft and you cant hear much.
Also when I receive certain notifications I hear a small click which is proberly the first 0.01s of the notification sound it tries to play.

Count me in.....same here. Wonder, if it´s a hardware issue or a driver problem.....
Hoping for an official WM6.5 ROM soon...

Thanks for the feedback. I can tell you that this happens with AT&T Tilt running stock ROMs/WM6 too.
I am still searching for an answer and if I find one I will post it.

[Q] cm7 vibrate not working

when i set my device to vibrate it will not work but when sound is on it does vibrate ive already went into to settings and checked but that didnt do anything and vibrate hasnt been working the whole time ive been running this rom btw i have the latest build of cm7 ive went through a few things and its still not working could somebody please help me out!!

The vibrate is working fine with CM7 #11. Haven't had an issue with an earlier version.
There are a few different places to set vibrate mode. sms notifications, email notifications and incoming call notifications can each be individually set to vibrate or not. Just be sure you've gone through all of the settings. Worst case scenario performa full wipe and re-install.
The common solutions to uncommon problems seams to be conducting a full wipe.
If that doesn't work maybe it's possible that you have a hardware issue with the phone?

I've looked through settings and I can't find specific options for vibrate on notifications and I know its not a hardware issue because vibrate works on everything thing other than notifications detailed instructions would be very helpful

Try opening your sms app. select menu>settings>notification settings>vibrate: just be sure that it's not set to never.
Open email: menu button>more>settings>vibrate: set whatever you like
are you running timeriffic? if so it can turn off vibrate if set to do so?
I'm not going to be able to help much more than than that (sorry).
May still want to consider a full wipe? The vibrate is functional for me and I haven't read about other folks having this issue.

That worked!! Thank you!

I was having the same issue but this thread helped me find the settings in my messaging app. It seems to be working tip top so far.
I must say as someone that has just rooted his phone less than a week ago as awesome as it is to have so many options problems like this make me wonder about having too many options. Haha.

(Solved)Haptic feedback lost on keyboards???

So I spent several hours last night searching and trying to figure out why my phone stopped vibrating or haptic feedback when I use the keyboard. Here is some history.
I was on AOKP yesterday and the haptic was fine. I had the phone muted at times for work and then unmuted it later. Then all of a sudded I noticed that the keyboard was not vibrating any more. Then the soft keys stopped vibrating. But if I hit volume all the way down to silent it vibrates and my emails still vibrate so I know it works. I have checked the setting under sound and keyboard setting. I thought it could be ICS related.
So I then wiped date\both cache\format system\format cache and then restored my CM7 back up. Once on CM7 same issue. I checked all setting again and no luck. Now I thought maybe try a fresh start.
I flashed skyraider thinking maybe some sense will get it going. Still no vibrate on touchscreen. Even after checking settings and vibrate is on.
Restored now back to CM7. Went into CM7 settings and went into haptic feedback settings. I adjusted the vibate down settings all the way up. Now I get some haptic feedback on my soft keys but still not the keyboard.
I installed go keyboard and it had the same results. I ready last night that there are a lot of Dinc2 users with this problem. I read many diferent forums and google search but no one had a fix. I am hoping someone here can help me out. If so I will gladly put Fixed in the title so hopefully it will help someone else. The phone is only a couple weeks old. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance. And yes I seached as best as I could. Only got 4 hours of sleep last night trying to fix this thing. I hate not having haptic feedback.
One last weird thing. One thread said to download audio manager and turn vibate on and uninstall. One guy said that worked for his notification feedback. However when I tried to download that app it says there is a purchase error even though its free. But I tried to download other apps and they work fine so not sure what to do next?
Edit: Found it was turned all the way down on my cm7 and no matter what rom I, as on it would stay the same. Back on cm7 and was able to turn it up again.

This sucks! Any idea anyone? Can I wipe anything else besides data/cache/system? Even cleared cache and data on the keyboard. Vibrate works on everything but keyboard. Sound for keys work but not vibrate. Same results with 3rd party keyboards.
I finally got go keyboard to vibrate. I like stock better but at least it is getting haptic feedback now.

Mr Highway I got the problem worked out feel free to close this thread. Thanks.

Hey, it looks like you've already started a thread about this in the generic sgs3 forum. Let's answer some questions:
What network is your s3 on?
Is your phone on the stock samsung ICS or have you flashed something else?
Have you tried plugging your phone into the samsung Kies software to get an update?
Let's start there. The more information you can provide the better.

Make sure Automatic answering is turned off.

Ive tried turning off different settings. Im aware of ALL settings in this phone and have still not been able to remedy this...
Latest update....

Did the phone ever answer properly?
Sounds like automatic answering is on (even though you've confirmed it isn't) , or you have some kind of app that is interfering with the answer in process. As much as it's a pain, I'd backup important data (contacts, sms message history, bookmarks, game saves, pictures etc) and do a full factory reset:
Go to Settings
Privacy
Factory Data Reset
Reset Phone
Erase Everything
It would bring your phone back to day 1 and possibly correct a software glitch. I'm not confident that it would work but I would try it to be sure.

I cant remember if it ever did...
Im gonna wait till after the JB update to see if that changes anything. I turned off "answer with home button" and it didnt do it last call so maybe that worked?
I have no idea.
Factory reset is prolly the best option though

I subscribed to your thread because my wife's AT&T S3 does the exact same thing. Very frustrating because mine does not do it. Might have to try the factory reset as well.

yeah, its pissing me off.
It seems to only happen when i dont want to answer that persons call!

did that yesterday and it seems to be working thus far..
thx
It would be funny if the ringtone was being picked up and triggering the voice cmd..... kinda pathetic

Reminds me of my friend, who had sensor enabled and big paws. When he was dialing one of his fingers would come close to sensor, and screen would go black. He had SGS3 from Sprint. I disabled screen off - he was the happiest man ever!

I never would have thought of the voice command answer setting. Never used the feature myself. You'd think it would have some kind of noise canceling feature to prevent that from happening, or at least a prompt telling you that ring tones may interfere. Funny stuff.
Well at least if it's solved you don't have to wipe

Notification/ volumes sounds changes to very low by its self.

OK this problem has been bugging me. Its started a few weeks back and i thought when i updated to 4.3 it would go away. But no luck.
Here is the problem. I have a Samsung S3 SGH I747M on Rogers was on 4.1.2 stock rom rooted. Now im on 4.3 stock rom rooted.
My phone keeps changing the notification/ all volumes on it own to very low. I can hardly hear it. I reboot my phone and its back to normal and all volumes are were i set them. Now i did notice that when it does go very low all my volume sliders go to the max position but everything will be very low.
Its driving me crazy. I have uninstalled several apps that i thought might be causing the problem but nothing seems to fix it. My next step is to do a factory reset. Which i really don't want to do as i have my phone set up the way i like it.
I'm hoping some of you phone gurus out there can help me find this annoyance.
Thanks.

Wow. No reply's. I guess nobody has had this problem before. Ill keep looking.

My volume dips occasionally, but I'm on pacman Rom with viper4android installed. In my case it happens when viper decides to randomly crash.

Did you have any audio mods installed ? If so then that might have caused the problem because to fully uninstall those you have to remove some of their system files or if they changed your build.prop you might have to undo the changes.
Other than that im not really sure what might be causing it.

I have the same issue. I uninstalled Ram Booster and disabled Power Savings Mode. Problem still exists but volume change is much less. Also ,it happens exactly when screen turns off. Factory reset did not solve it for me.

I just started experiencing this issue as well. Never noticed it before as I always had my phone on silent for school but now that im on vacation I turned the sound back on and I can't hear the locking and unlocking sounds unless the phone is right next to my ear. The keyboard and the basic touch sounds are very quiet too. Wondering if you managed to fix this problem ?

Hey Florad77,
Yes i did manage to fix it. Tasker is the culprit. Its not playing nice with the 4.3 update. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and everything was working fine. No volume changes. Then i set up some tasks, simple ones like turn off my Bluetooth when i leave my truck etc. And low and behold the sound issues came back. It must be when tasker trys to run tasks that it F,s everything up in the phones settings for sound. I just uninstalled it again and i also removed secure settings as well. Here is a review of Tasker from google play with the same sound problems.

Sound notifications don't work... After the recent update, notifications stopped playing sound files, unlike always. A power related task keeps firing when it's not supposed to. 4.3.yuga.pac

I hope this fixes your problem. Mine is work just fine now after the uninstall.

Volume issues fixed.
OK. I was still having the problem even after deleting most of the apps i thought were causing the problem. But had no luck fixing the volume issue. I remembered my son saying he has had a problem with his phone not connecting to the Bluetooth also but his had a different error. So i asked him what his issue was and he said every time he tries to connect he gets an error saying "unable to play during call" So i googled his problem and found the answer and it fixed his Bluetooth error. I then checked my own settings and changed it also and if fixed mine.
So If you use text plus go to settings and unselect enable incoming calls, and that will fix the unable to play during call error when using your music player over Bluetooth. And like me if your also having volume issues after connecting to Bluetooth it will fix that also. Make sure to reboot your phone after the change.
I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me crazy for months now. I was so close to doing a factory reset and re flashing the rooted 4.3 rom again.

The problem with the volume that you are facing is because of a secret call in the background via Hangouts.
Basically Hangouts connects a call with someone in the background without user's interaction and phone goes into call mode.
And in call mode volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.
If you turn off Hangouts, you will not get this problem again.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps
