I dropped my phones while skiing and some snow must have got in because now, when making or receiving calls, I can not hear the other side and they can't hear me unless I use speakerphone.
No media sounds play any more, however the phone notifications and alarm still work. I understand that perhaps the media speaker has broken but why is the microphone still working only in speakerphone mode?
Is there an independent microphone/speaker set for speakerphone?
There is nothing else wrong with the phone.
[EDIT] Another side effect is that the Google voice search was not working.

I think it will actually solve your problem. It did for me when the exact same problems started to bother me today after skiing as well!
You need to start it at every boot as it don't stick between reboots. Consider using a startup manager.
The problem seems to be a mix of hardware and software in the headphone jack, but I have not examined it much yet.
Thanks for the reply. The app you suggest should be very useful and I will download it anyway. However, this to say that the phone had fixed itself this morning.
I put the phone on charge overnight, and this morning, it asked for my sim unlock code, which I thought was very strange! But I entered the code that I had received from my network provider and now everything is working as it should.
It was probably something do with the remaining water inside the phone or possibly the cold temperatures.
Good to know! Maybe my phone fixes itself during the night as well
Still working?
Has the issue remained fixed for you? I ask because I have the same thing - the symptoms are that I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me, all media sounds are off, and the phone can't hear me.
I ran Tasker to monitor things, and the phone keeps thinking I plugged in headphones (with a mic), so that explains all the behavior. Running the headphone toggle app works temporarily - sometimes only a few seconds.
After doing a factory reset, sound would still come and go. With my Nandroid backup back on, same thing. I want to return it, and so I put everything back to stock, and noticed that now the bootloader is locked again, the issue is gone (for now).
I just wanted to keep the discussion going because I can't even tell if it's hardware related or not, and other people probably have this problem, and it takes some snooping to realize it's the headphone connector (vs sound settings, speaker issues, etc.). It could be a short (my guess) but now that it's working today I can't return it as the tech would probably claim nothing's wrong. I also already used up the one return my stupid carrier allows, so I'd rather fix it myself if it's software-related, instead of sending it out for repair.
I still have this problem, even after cleaning the headphone plug. My guess is that this is a hardware problem affecting only a few. It makes the phone pretty much useless, as you can't hear the other part talking, so I made myself a software fix that resets the sound routing the the default speaker on every boot and incoming and outgoing call. I guess I can share the apk-file if anyone is interested.
Give it a try: ----
Can release source if you are interested, but I am currently in a car getting ready for a ski weekend
I am also having this problem with my Galaxy Nexus. I would be interested in seeing the source, if you are still up for releasing it.

See attachment for source, I also added a compiled apk file in the zip-file. You can open the project in Eclipse if you want.
Thanks for posting the source. I was able to work with it fine.
I've replaced my Nexus with a new one under warranty. Hopefully this one won't have the same problem.

Thanks for releasing this! It works great!
I was going out of my mind trying to figure out what was going on. I was unlocked, rooted in stock 4.02 when this started to happen. I thought it was bad signal quality because i only noticed it when I stopped being able to make calls and use voice dialer. I only listen to music with a headset, so never even noticed that it wasn't working with the speaker til I tried to play a youtube video.
I actually upgraded to stock 4.04 with new FA2 radios and thought I had cured it, only to have it happen again. When I read this I tried resetting all my notification sounds (Handcent, et al) hoping somewhere there was a conflict, but still couldn't find it. I'm using NOVA launcher - wonder if there's something in there?
Anyhow, I gave up since your audiojack.apk works great! Someday when I have time I'll go back to troubleshooting to see where the problem is coming from.
Thanks again!
Works temporarily

This worked, but the OS will eventually think the headphone is plugged in again and I have to press the "Force Speaker phone" button again. I wonder if there is an event that is fired every time the OS thinks the headphones were plugged in? If so, that event can be captured and code could look to see if the headphones are turned off by the user and ignore the event.

If you want the same routing fix as audiojack but have it done automatically in a service try this.
There is an issue with a lot of Galaxy Nexus where the OS thinks the headphone is being plugged in and unplugged on its own. Try this free application to resolve it:

I have another problem. When i'm in a call and i swich to speakers the person i speak can't here me...if i switch back he can here me again. I don't know what is the problem i don't think that are two microfhones one for speakers mode and one for normal mode...Maybe a software problem but i wipe and flash another rom and kernel i tryed 2 or 3 roms and kernel and i have the same issue. Now i'm on AOKP B32 with Franco Kernel 135. Anyone have this problem?

Worked for me on Verizon GN. Verizon already has a replacement on the way... guess I should've done more extensive searching for a fix first!
Spoke too soon. Seems as though the screen doesn't shut off while I am on a call. Guess I'll give the replacement a try after all.
Yesterday the audio just stopped working on my unit. It is almost like it is muted or something. I checked it and it seems like everything is ok. Then this morning I was driving and it suddenly came back on. Audio will not cut out when the car is running, but only when I turn the car off for whatever reason(refuel, garage, etc) and then the audio will eventually come back.
I tried flashing the latest malaySK rom and MCU and that did not help. Is this a hardware issue or something? It's behaving like it is muted and when it suddenly comes back it's as if I hit the unmute button or something. Any ideas would be appreciated, I'm about to drive cross country with this.

I've seen the same on one of my four units. My interim solution has been to turn power off i.e turn engine off for 35 seconds.
After that the sound comes back. I suspect it has something to do with the delay of 30 seconds implemented in the FW.
If you look in Malaysk's thread he claims its an error in the recent fw.
Any idea as to the last version of the ROM that didn't have this issue?

I don't know. This has been an ongoing case for some time. As I wrote above I think it has to do with the
software delays implemented some time ago. I've turned off Headunitservice and also removed the option
in Xposed concerning MCU. It looks like that solved the problem. Knock on wood
I see. What is this delay issue involving? I really only use the headunit service to change songs in Poweramp I think. The other features are nice but kind of superfluous for my installation.

The MCU thing is to keep the HU running while you start the engine. That's the SW mod. There's also a hardware mod
implementing a capacitor and a diode doing the same thing. I can wait for the cold boot and have sound, rather than
the other way around.
I understand. How do you disable it? Wouldn't a reboot of the unit fix this issue? I was thinking of just going into xposed and forcing a reboot from in there.

AFAIK, only the above.
I've tried downgrading, changing the MCU, etc. No suck luck. The audio seems to just kick on or off.
Has anyone found a fix for the sound cutting out after a few seconds of a video or game? I have tried the soubdabout app, Turing the USB option off, disable Power save.. Still happening..

I have the same issue sometimes, I've read around the web and it seems to be a mix of software and hardware related, I read a guy suggest removing and putting back the case (in case you have one) and I did that and the sound came back, haven't had the issue again.

Hmm, I keep mine out of a case,.. Yeah I'm not sure what it is, it's a 50/50 between some say software and some say hardware. I would asume that software would of been fixed by now, either Samsung or 3rd party

So I found a solution for the issue in my case, it does seem to be software but it's really weird cause the issue continues in any firmware, it started when I was on 6.0.1 PI2, then I flashed Nougat and had the same problem (I hated it and battery drain was killing me) I went back to 6.0 and changed to the PK2 version and the issue continued, it was really weird cause it would cut out in audio messages, games but not music, I also tried every single suggestion on every forum and post I could find EXCEPT the Soundabout app, today I gave up, installed soundabout, selected media to speakers and bam, problem solved, I still need further testing, but it seems ok for now, keep in mind that I also have "prevent USB audio routing" on and "Easy Mute" off.

Im trying the soundabout app now, I orginally had it set to automatic and was still having the issue, now I set it to speaker and so far so good.
as this worked for me but idk about others... I was told to remove all paired bluetooth devices (on/off doesnt matter) then go to settings>connections>more connection settings>nearby device scanning then turn off... worked for me... (sorry for zombifying an old post but as this is still current with mine and many devices i decided to help)

Is anything still wrong? Or does the sound work both with and without headphones?
Hi. I dropped my phone and have the same problem now. Did you get any useful help?
Hi All,
So I've just bought this TV and I've done all the updates I can, and even checked the website for any manual updates. I've done at least 3 full resets too.
As the title says, I'm getting random crashes or reboots - even when it's just sat on a menu screen doing nothing. Streaming anything such as Netflix seems to exacerbate the issue. I'm very lucky if I can even watch a single 40 min TV episode without it rebooting.
Any ideas? Has anybody else had this? Philips are being useless at the moment and simply referred me back to some instructions for 2014 Android TV's despite this one being a 2019 model, and then closed the support ticket before I could even reply.
Cheers,
James
Do you have any firmware updates?
Have you done any firmware updates on your TV?
Also did u check any auto-shut down feature?
Hello,
Thanks for the reply. As I stated I've done all updates already and also checked the website for any manual updates.
The TV isn't shutting down, it's rebooting randomly during viewing, and crashing when doing nothing requiring me to pull the plug to get it working again.
Any other suggestions?

Do you have any HDMIs, SATALLITES connected to your TV?
Please remove them and maybe re-installing the latest firmware would help

Hello, my apologies I didn't see the notification for reply.
I've tried leaving it disconnected but unfortunately the issue still occurs. I will look at reinstalling the firmware.
Thanks for your help so far.
Hi all again,
I just wanted to provide a small update. So I think I've worked out that it's the remote causing the crashing. Which in turn suggests a Bluetooth issue. It isn't consistent, so I'm now monitoring but it seems when the remote gets moved and goes to reconnect it then crashes and reboots. I'll post another update if my findings seem true.
on my Phillips the Isuue came from firetvstick4k.
If i changed Always HDR i have massive problems with lag in UI of my Phillips 65PSU7310.
If i changed it in Firetv to Adaptive...all Lag was gone from my Phillips TV
https://www.4kfilme.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Amazon-Fire-TV-Adaptives-HDR.jpg
Also AptoideTV app has given me much Bootloops.
After deinstalled AptoideTV and Gave Firetvstick only Adaptive HDR.All Problems has gone.no bootloop and no Lags anymore.
Perhaps it helps you !
greatz
I habe the Same Problems and Philip’s Support think That i am stupid“did. you try a firmware Update?“ and some other things like That. The Problem is since the Last Auto Update 6-8weeks ago most it happens After 1hour streaming youtube. First reboots android,than nothing Happens After That Philip’s bootlogo and then android Boot apears again all Bye its own.

Hi James2k2,
I know this post is a bit old but I have a Philips OLED with exactly the same random reboot as you get.
You just said it was maybe a Bluetooth issue, can you tell me if you could confirm that? and how did you resolve this please?
Thanks a lot

Hey drgonzo69,
Unfortunately I never got the issue resolved. Philips support just asked me to reinstall the firmware, which I did and I still had the problem. In the end the supplier accepted it back and I bought an LG TV instead (should have gone with my gut and done this in the first place instead of trying to save some money).

Hi James2k2,

Unfortunately warranty is expired and I can't give the tv back... I'm just going to wait for new firmwares hoping that system will be eventually more stable.

Ah that's a shame! I have to say, for the money the display itself wasn't bad at all. Hopefully a fix will come out.
Hi,
I purchased a Carlinkit cpc200 tbox November 2021 (great product) and has been working perfectly.
Until this week, when it has stopped booting up. It will get to a black screen with android in the centre, it looks like it frozen but after 30 to 60 seconds turns off and try to reboot, with the same result.
When the unit is powered up there is a solid green and red light, after 15 seconds green light starts flashing,
after 30 to 60 seconds the red light disappears and 15 seconds later green light disappears. It seems as it is
Rebooting again.
I would like some help to fix problem.
Is this a firmware problem.

Problem booting up, anyone have a fix for this issue.

Hi,
I contacted the tech support and have tried to update unit multiple times with no result. As it was working perfectly, it was great but than stopped and now they (tech support) that is a low power issue, not software issue. I've also tried in 4 different vehicles and still not booting and bought new cable (same). Looking for the cable that may be the answer but having trouble finding it.
I am having the same exact issue and getting the runaround from the seller. Anyone have any advice?

Hi, I message Carlinkit support, they still think it's a low power issue, I tried different cable with no result. finally the cable that is shown is now available which should fix problem. I'll let you know if it works. ( I've already bought other cables that don't work )
I just got another AI box from them:
MMB 11 Plus 4+64 G Multimedia Box - Carpaly Ai Box With HDMI Input
MMB Multimedia Video Box 4+64 G with Android 11.0 system ,it has useful funtions : can convert factory wired carplay to a wireless connection and wireless Android auto, and video applications such as youtube, netflix can download in Google store,Screen mirroring for HDMI connector device
carplayaibox.com
I bought this thinking it would probably be buggy and eventually would return it but totally impressed. But this works great. Seems stable so far and allows for many customizations.
The Carlinkitcarplay Box is ok, It took a little time and patience to set up, but once I did, it runs well. Connects to phone immediately once I start my truck.

When you're using the android setup, is audio streaming via Bluetooth from your phone sent to the android box then the head unit or bypassed and goes straight to the head unit like factory android auto? Just wondering how much this device compromises audio quality of it's running through multiple sources.
Also, anyone tried rooting this device? Interested in running some audio mods through it like JamesDSP etc

I’m my GMC wired CarPlay always had better sound than though GMC Bluetooth. Now that the bt gets passed through the tbox it sounds better. I think the tbox has better bt version since that connection gets routed through wired connection to the truck and sounds as good as wired without tbox.
