Anyone out there having as issue where the sound from the keyboard clicks, unlock and lock sounds, and the dial pad phone calls went almost un-hearable??
I have no current mods to my phone just picked it up started typing and noticed i could no longer hear my keyboard clicks and went on to discover that many of system sounds were quieter.
The rings and other notifications work just fine though very odd this is not the first time this has happened to me with other android devices but typically either a battery pull or a quick reset resolves the issue but not this case.
Anyone with similar issues with a quick fix aside from restore??
I have noticed that when the battery get low sounds and vibration setting get shut off.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

Yep.. You can edit all that in the Power Saver Options. It also will shut down WiFi. Very Annoying.
well i thought that also but my battery was fully charged.
I noticed when I clicked things the clicking sound was randomly extremely low. I went to the sound settings and just played with em for a min and it went back to normal :/
sadly i tried all that stuff and i am getting extremely frustrated
Funny thing.......my htc keyboard wont let me turn off the vibe feedback.

Mine turns off just fine but I've seen that issue on other phones, don't know how to fix it though.
Theres a power saving mode your phone gets into when it reaches 15% or lower. This setting quiets your phone, takes off vibrations, and more thing just to save batt. life, u can change this is settings

Hey all. long time lurker, first time poster.
I received my nexus one a few days ago, and it has been a blast. However, after charging it last night ( the first time I charged it via wall charger as opposed to USB) I awoke to find it incredibly hot. I let it cool down, but ever since, the vibration has not worked.
I briefly was able to get the vibration on by taking out the battery and leaving phone and battery by the cold window. It vibrated normally on startup, and briefly in the os before turning off. Since, I have had no luck.
Any suggestions? I could, of course, send it off to get repaired under warranty, but i'd rather see what I can do first. I am currently attempting to drain the battery completely and see what that might do. I'm shooting in the dark, I know, but I'd rather try to figure it out as much as I can.
Thanks!
try a factory reset (Settings>about phone), if that doesnt work its hardware problem so send it in.
Weird, i havent had any problems with mine getting hot. Vibration doesnt work on anything? Keyboard, calls, etc. and youre sure you went into settings and enabled it on those?
settings/sound and display.
Enable haptic feedback.
if the phone is in silent mode this option will be grayed out.
I hope it is as simple as that and that it is not damaged from charging.
I'm having vibration problems too, but I don't think it's due to charging, but to me it seems like the vibration is going out. I was using the haptic feedback for the vk, and now it doesn't work half the time, and when it does, it is not very noticeable.
but the bigger vibrations still work, so I'm clueless on it

I know in better keyboard you can change how long the vibration lasts for, Im using smart keyboard right now and I can definitely feel the press of the keys.

This problem happened on a swap I tried (my screen has dust under it) and I called HTC and said I was sending the swap back because of this and they said it was fine. Give HTC a call, I think its a hardware problem
Thats how mine was, it was charging and got really hot, now when i get text messages it doesnt vibarate but if i get a phone call it does.
a couple of times, when i charged overnight, the phone gets hot. i think if it has a "running" app, it does this.

It's completely normal for the phone to get "hot" when charging or running apps with heavy power utilization... basically anything demands a decent amount of power.
However, it shouldn't get so hot that it's uncomfortable to hold or that parts start failing... that would indicate a defect with the phone and would necessitate an exchange through HTC.

Yes, in fact all notification vibrations fail now (GTalk / GMail Vibration notifications fail). This happened to me just today. Sigh.
Update: Notice I said all notification vibrations. It's specifically notification vibrations. All other types of vibrations such as haptic feedback and phone calls work fine. Only vibrations that pertain to the notifications / notification bar do not happen anymore. I don't think this is a hardware issue. This happened just recently. Could it be due to the new (OTA) update? Something broken?
i can't get mine to vibrate when a text comes in, no matter what settings i use. it will vibrate when a call comes in. i text a lot, so that would be really handy to have it work (like it should) when i'm out and it's too busy/loud to hear the phone but, not sure if i want to send it back because of this...
That's crazy I've never had a phone that vibrates stronger.
I've updated my post above. It's not about the vibration of the phone but just on the notification vibrations. Somehow it just stopped all of a sudden.
Looks like this person might've had the same problem:

Shall try a hard reset and see how that goes then. Rather reluctant to try it but here goes..
Update: Nope. Still no vibration for notifications after doing Hard Reset (using "Clear Storage"). I have even tested this using the API Demos app from the Market. Under App -> Notification -> Status Bar -> Vibrate button there is no vibration to be felt.

use the search function, lol. if you are having problems with notification vibration, download the 'sound manager' app from the market. start it up. press menu > vibrate settings. set it up how you want. fixes the issue.
I searched, but I kept searching for the "vibration" keyword. That thread only shows when you search "vibrate" .. or "notification vibrate". My phone is with HTC now. I don't understand why a Hard Reset doesn't resolve the issue...
fixed

I can confim this trick works... DL sound manager from the market then activate " vibrate whenever possible" in vibration menu...
it fixed the problem i had : no vibrations only on notifications ..
never had such a fast phone, thanks to google,timothydonohue, cyanogen and all modders...!!!
This afternoon, I was getting text messages when I noticed that my phone had stopped vibrating, despite being set to vibrate and ring.
The only app I have installed to manipulate the vibrating function is SMS Popup. When I went in to that to test vibrate patterns, it still wasn't working.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Is there some setting I could have accidently hit to stop vibrate?
I have no idea how that would happen, though, so I'm just hoping it's not hardware.

Any ideas anybody? The vibrated last night during a call, so I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem
Figured it out.
"GOT IT!!
as per another thread, download Sound Manager
In the vibrate settings, theres an option to "never vibrate"
Changed it to "Always" and voila system vibrates again!
Must be an option DEEP in android that normal settings dont cover.
Good news is it works at least!"

Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone has done an app for android which can turn your wireless/bluetooth/gps etc on when you are plugged into power, and then turn it off when you are not.
I constrantly get stuck doing this as the power on the hd is @rse.
Anyone know of any apps which will do this?
Something like this would be a step in the right direction...

Get Tasker, it'll do that easy, and so much more!

Definitely Tasker. It unleashes an unprecedented automation power.
Here are some profiles that you can download and use with Tasker

Thanks to the original poster for suggesting doing something like this and thanks to the guys that mentioned tasker. I've just purchased it, created a profile and its working just how I want it (bluetooth on when plugged in, off when not plugged in).

Yep, Tasker is great, the things you can do with it are pretty much only limited to your imagination.
I have an alarm profile that gradually increases in volume, then snoozes when the phone is flipped (and again when flipped back), when I pull the power the alarm stops and NewsRoom opens (morning paper delivery)... One to put the phone into silent at shutdown (goodbye startup sound!)... One to give the NewsRoom notification a sound also... A driving one that triggers on phone jack and power being occupied - reads text sender and body, autoanswers calls from the missus, puts screen on full brightness, puts media volume to full, opens WinAmp, and turns on GPS! ... and I've only had it for like 5 days or something!
Thank you guys!
Having issues the past couple of days, my phone is leaving silent (or vibrate only in fact) mode by itself. At first I thought the volume up key was being pressed in my pocket but I've had it sitting on a desk for an hour and it's left silent mode, so now i'm sure it's an issue with software rather than tight jeans... Anyone have any ideas?
Running VR2.4.2
Update: it's now doing it every 5 mins or so. It gives a tiny vibrate then the vibration icon disappears... Has anyone else experienced this?

What screen locker are you using?
Bad contact in the volume button?
I thought about a physical problem but i left it alone for a while after it jumped out and it didn't turn up the volume again. I'm not using any special lockscreen, i have winamp controls when winamp is on but that's it. Any other ideas? I could just reflash I guess but it's bugging me not knowing the issue

Solution for the problem
Hi,
I had the same issue with my Galaxy Nexus but i found a way to solve the problem not permit solution but by using app called " Volume Locker " which will force the device to turn the volume up once it goes silent by sudden.
I had this.Rebooted and it was fine afterwards.

Or maybe its a women, just wont shut up
Try using a different rom (dont restore all the apps, might be some volume control or music app doing it) , if the problem still exist then its hardware issue.
Most likely an app is causing this problem...
If you are rooted, make a nandroid, then do a full wipe.
If the bug is fixed you know an app is causing it restore the nandroid and uninstall apps one by one untill its fixed
I had the same iussue with RR 3.0.6. Maybe is related to your custom rom, try changing it.
Problem:
Phone in my pocket, volume down gets bumped into. The next 3 hours I won't get any notifications. This is incredibly annoying and frustrating.
How in the world can I disable volume down activating do not disturb while the screen is off?
First, the power button has to be bumped first, then the volume down button (various times). Too much bumping.
get a case

The power button does not need to be bumped.
While the phone is sleeping (screen off + short wait), press volume down either once or twice and it will go into do not disturb mode. I can also put on full volume while it's sleeping as well.
Tried what you said. Doesn't happpen to me. Using stock rom.

Issue has just came back. Restarting the phone makes it go away. Seems like we have found a solution! I'll keep a log of how often this happens here.

Which rom are you using? Is Double tap to Wake enabled? Are you using an app to lock the screen? Maybe that app is not locking the screen initially but displaying a black image for a short time before turning the display off.

Stock rom.
Ambient display is disabled.
No App. It did this stock out of the box
RMA would be a better option.
Problem has come back! a week delay this time
I would love an option to disable it on the phone entirely I never use it anyway and it occasionally gets turned on by mistake and I end up missing calls.
Found this in another forum - change DND priority settings to allow calls and messages from anyone. Should fix it!
