[Q] Strange sound issue

Well, it's been about 4 months since I upgraded to this phone, and I've had the same issue, whether it be on ICS (stock, Lifeless, Imperium) or on JB (stock, Lifeless, Imperium)-haven't flashed CM. The issue is, and as far as I can tell, at random, my media sound (YouTube, music, videos-no matter the player) quits on me, up until a reboot, after which it's fine until the next random time it happens. Sometimes I'll go several days with no problems, and other times it'll happen, and then 2 minutes after a reboot, happen again. I've done a little troubleshooting, and haven't had any leads. So, I wanted to put this out and see if there is anyone else having a similar issue, or if maybe something is just up with my specific device.

I am not saying this is the cause but on rare occasions the audio hardware/controller will start to fail. Out of the thousands of phones I've worked on I've seen this only a handful of times. Another cause is a fault in the LG software itself but I would expect to see more reports of this issue if that was that case.
I suggest flashing over to CM and see if you can duplicate it. If so then the audio hardware is suspect. If not, then yet anther LG software bug has shown up.

I just thought it was strange that it's happened on both OS's and all the ROMs, so I'd leaned toward it being my device. No permanent issues, mostly just an annoyance. Since I rely on my phone for work and such, I've been hesitant on flashing CM. It also hasn't gotten worse or better over time. The most random thing I've experienced on a phone. Oh well, it's not enough of a problems to have to deal with Sprint to try and get it replaced. Mostly just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced it.

Should I update my watch to lollipop?

I'm currently still running 4.4 but I've read horror stories of 5.0 and above being really buggy and not pushing notifications anymore and random disconnects. Has that been fixed or should I stay with 4.4?

It's a good update. No issues that I have had except that sometimes I set my notifications to none on accident. No performance or reliability issues.

I may consider it then. Did you notice any increase in battery life?

Yes, it's pretty massively better. I didn't have mine for very long prior to the 5 update (we're on 5.0.2 on the watch now), but I would definitely go ahead and update it.

I have no problem/issue after updating.

I did the update and am very pleased. The overall experience is better plus better battery life.

Same as everyone else
I highly recommend the update to 5:good:

We updated my wife's watch to Lollipop shortly after we took it out of the box. I like the Lollipop interface better and she has had no problems with it.

You can update to Lollipop. It is advance version and you will feel the power of this updated version.

Update 5.1.1 dont work command voice
Hello, the thing is that I buyed this smartswatch; the watch did the update for OTA 5.1.1 , and the command voice doesnt work.
Do you know what can I do?
Thanks in advance

The first thing I would do is a factory reset of the watch.

Do you have any of these problems on your OP3?

Hello, everyone. I got my OnePlus 3 2 weeks ago. I've been having a couple of problems with it and I wanna know if any of you has the same problems. First of all, the phone is a good phone and I like it but these problems are bothering me greatly and that's why I asked for a replacement instead of a return.
The first problem was when I went on this great trip. I took like 30 pictures. My brother asked me to send him the pictures of the trip. I used Android beam to do so. While the pics were being sent, I cancelled the process because I had to leave. Guess what happened? I lost all the pictures that were being beamed. At first, I thought this was a problem with Android beam itself, but I tried Android beam with other phones, and the pictures didn't get deleted. I tried it again on my OP3, and the pics just disappeared. They disappear if you cancel the process of beaming. Can you please verify if you have this problem?
The second problem is navigation. It's very inaccurate and it got me lost multiple times. Do you have this problem?
The third problem is in YouTube. Some vids on YouTube only play in 480p even though they play up to 2k on other phones. (I know op3 only supports 1080p but I still don't get this option. My internet connection isn't the problem because it's super fast)
The phone is super fast but it's kinda stuttery and not smooth sometimes.
Also, battery life after the latest update, 3.2.1, has been really bad. It drains so fast.
Do you have any of these problems?
Thank you.

Guys, please try Android beam. Please tell me if you have the same problem or not.

Well for starters, have you messed with the phone? As in unlocked, rooted, flashed anything etc?
I'm on 3.2.1 also and my YouTube app allows me to view videos at 1080p, though it won't let me access the higher FPS videos like my OnePlus One would.
Battery life is actually pretty good considering the specs and the 3000mah battery.
No stuttering to report... The thought of it never even crossed my since I bought the OP3, it's so fast!
Yes, the GPS performance actually sucks, I don't know of OnePlus is aware are trying to fix it, but it does suck, I've had issues using Uber, Lyft, and Pokémon Go, haven't driven around or used Google Maps much yet.
I always do a fresh install of the OS whenever a new update is available, or just fresh install the updated factory image, because I root, flash other things, and change things, and I want to avoid issue, so avoid dirty flashing.

I use GPS a lot for riding my bike and Pokemon Go running, but I had no issues. But I use a custom Rom and kernel.

I use stock rom (3.2.1 with unlock bootloader and root) and use Waze every day to work. Not a single issue. Fix in 2/3 sec and never lost position. Battery life is normal, not brilliant. 04.30h SOT. Not bad. Android Bean didnt ever used. Dont need it. Youtube able to view videos in 1080 with no porblem. And the smartphone is fast and smooth. Try a factory reset to see if problem are solved

I'm not rooted and I've never missed with the phone. The YouTube problem appears with some videos only, not all of them. Battery life used to be pretty good before the latest update but the latest update made it worse. The performance problem appears clearly on Snapchat. It's very laggy on Snapchat and when recording Snapchat videos, the videos kinda stutter.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

No problem with 30 fps movies

Had the problem with do not disturb being turned on .I had not touched the Alert Slider.Also sometimes gestures would work while my phone was in pocket(double swipe to turn on music for example.) .

HTC 10 Android 7.0 Nougat Update Issues

I upgraded to Nougat yesterday, currently facing many stability issues. Any help would be appreciated on the below problems.
* Sound is unstable, screen lock does not produce any sound
* Incoming calls are often silent, no sound comes out for some reason
* HTC Live Wallpapers disappeared, I cannot locate them
* Double tap to wake problem persists, I had this problem on 6 and still cannot fix it despite many attempts including sensors, wipe clean and 3 hard reset attempts // I had this issue when I purchased my phone back in September. After many trial and errors it somehow worked on its own. Then I got a problem on my screen and took it to the HTC Service. They told me they replaced the screen and did a software update and my DT2W no longer worked

Also missing the live wallpapers over here.

NFc is working for you? Reading any NFC tag?

Nfc is not working either

No live wallpapers either from UK Nougat update but not encountered stability issues yet.
My Xperia keyboard was playing up but reinstalled and seems to be OK now.

Are you guys on the latest 2.41.xxx update?

I guess that's why there's a new firmware 2.41.401.4 leaked. Would explain why they halted the Roll-Out of 2.41.401.3, and seems they already working on a fix.

I guess so, in any case I am very disappointed by lack of stability of many features in #HTC10

My HTC 10 is an unlocked US version and it seems pretty stable. After initial roll out of Android 7 on Nov 25th, we then got 2 updates(Dec and Jan) which contained bug fixes and security patches.

I guess my #htc10 has hardware issues out of the box

After the UK Nougat update my Sandisk SD card is not being recognised as external storage. Was ok before the update. I've removed & reinserted a couple of times, still no joy. Anyone experienced this?

I had the same problem. I had to remove it and reinsert into the phone.

Hey guys,
None of the issues above I ran into....Has OP tried a factory reset? Always recommended to Android devices after a big version upgrade.
Speaking of factory reset, well, I did it, and I have some other issues :
1. Camera in Pro mode, under long exposure duration, the image quality drops significantly...I am an photography amateur, so I know what I am talking about.
2. Sometimes the phone app does not recognize saved contacts. (It seems that this would be solved with 2.41.401.4)
3. Battery drains...much quicker than 1.95...before I can get 5h or + screen on time, now barely passes 4h.

I've also noticed a batterydrain. Although I've done a fresh install. Yesterday I did a complete wipe again without backup recovery. Battery seems stable now.

Since the OTA Nougat update i've had issues with instagram videos not playing whilst pictures work fine (on both 4g and wifi).
Also gmail no longer syncs automatically and i have to manually refresh to get mail.
Wiping cache partition and wiping app cache/ reinstalling the apps didn't work. I do feel like the update has somehow caused this as it was fine before.
Anyone else having these issues?
To comment on issues others have been having, my battery drain feels normal. And I have always has issues with gestures and double tap to wake not working

Unlocked USA 2.41.617.3 is stable here
Unlocked USA 2.41.617.3 is stable here. It brought the January security patch and also fixed all of my battery drain issues I had since the September, 2016 Android 6.1 update. I lost 2-day battery life in September, 2016.
I am finally back to 2-day battery with doze acting normally since January, 2017 update.

No extra updates or fixes yet for us in the UK. Also noticing apps will won't auto update correctly now. Getting a google play is not responding message. HTC need to sort this out asap

Android O problems

I have seen a lot of weird android O problems put up here, is it really that buggy or are their a lot of you rooting and running things that aren't necessarily tailored to O yet? Just curious, I don't have it yet but as soon as it is made available to my Pixel XL I will download it, I just want to make sure it isn't a giant bucket of bugs.

I haven't had any issues, I was able to update with OTA before Google pulled it the first time. Mine updated normally, havent had any weird reboots or behavior on my device yet.
I am unlocked running pure stock, enrolled in the beta atm

I haven't had any issues either. It's been performing very well and Bluetooth works great for me on everything I've tried it with.

I did a clean factory image. Rooted and suhide. Many of the TiBu apps had to be deleted and data restored, but that happens between different ROMs, so it's no surprise. Battery drain seems higher than PN or PixelDust, but it's too early to tell for sure. Push notifications are taking longer than on 7.1.2 for gmail, outlook, and wickr. But, no bugs so far to report.

Awesome, so I guess since I am not rooted or unlocked and not using any non android O approved apps (that I know of) I have a very small chance of bugs. Thanks. I really do appreciate it, sets my nerves at ease.

I am stock Oreo from the beta. Battery life sucks, like awful. I have done 2 fresh install too. Volume is extremely low. Tested it with my wife's pixel running N and her volume is considerably louder.

Battery life with Oreo and I don't have that great of reception.

Got Oreo on my Pixel XL via the beta.
No reports yet of problems with volume or battery life, but one of the new features "picture-in-picture", is not working for me at all. Google support have told me its a known issue and are working on it.
Like Partridge's extendable table, it's not a deal-breaker.

PiP only works with YouTube red or if you modify your nav bar to have a custom button to do it for youtube. And go to chrome watch a video in full screen then press home it'll work that way.

Not sure what's happening but when I was on dp4 and now on Oreo official the battery life has been the best it's ever been since I bought the phone back in 2016.

My experience has gotten better over the last day or so. The first 24hrs felt very janky. Since it has settled in and I'm happy with the performance.

When you guys did a fresh install did you restore all of your settings etc from the cloud? Or are you manually resetting your phone back up?

Only bug I've seen is PIP. This release has fixed my bluetooth issues(controls sometimes not working with my Jaybird X2's, Moto 360 constantly disconnecting with having issues getting it to reconnect even after reboots of phone and watch). Bluetooth issues have been my only complaint with the phone and those started for me only after the first OS update(7.?.?). I flashed the factory image and restored from cloud backup. Very happy so far.

Has anyone had notification sound problems? When I get a notification the sound plays at least twice or more.

I perform the OTA as beta program first and use it for 5-10 mins.
Later I decided to perform a facotry reset, during the wifi setup, I found that the phone cannot recognize my hidden wifi. In the end, I found that the phone could not find wifi channel 11, 12 or 13 from my router AC68U. I manually set the channel to 4 and the wifi was connected.
Last time I saw the same issue was on my Kindle Voyage.

I did the OTA and I'm pulling two days out of it with average use. ODP3 was better for me in terms of battery but hey 2 days out of a stock phone? sweeet

I set it up as a new phone, but now I encounter some issue that O is not recognizing my hidden Wifi. It was connected successfully and then I turn it to flight mode and perform a restart. Now the phone cannot see my wifi anymore... I'll downgrade to 7.1.2 and then see how it works... :crying:

installed and rooted wiped clean and having problems with phone. Freezing and rebooting on calls. anyone else?
