Sound problem? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I boot up my G2 and plug in the USB, it's supposed to have that little sound (Plug & Pop). But it doesn't play anymore. It will only start playing the connected noise after I get an SMS text. I have some stuff uninstalled and greenified, not including LGsystemserver (idk what that is) and some other stuff.
Can other people replicate the problem? Worst case scenario I'll re-install all the system apps I uninstalled to see if I can fix the issue

My guess would be that you froze, or removed something that is responsible for it.

Media Volume problem

Okay, let's see if I can explain this right.
Well, my wife HTC Inc is acting weird. So somehow the Media Volume stops working. You can try to adjust it up or and down no luck. The ringer volume works fine. I even downloaded a volume app after I noticed the situation and tried to adjust the media volume (you can see the bar adjust) through the app, no luck. After I do a hard boot by taking the battery out, then it works.
Questions in troubleshooting:
- Does it need some sort of update?
- Is it a defective equipment?
I tried searching for it, no luck.
i have never had this problem so your saying even after a reboot it does stop working again?
Same Problem
I just got my Incredible a few days ago. I noticed the same problem this morning. I powered the phone off and back on and it worked fine. I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong because I'm new to Android and I don't know how to use the phone yet or if it was an internal problem. The only thing I can think of that may have started the problem is I plugged headphones in and used the FM radio for a minute. If I have any other problems or come across anything I will let you know.
M- It stops working after a certain amount of time. To get the media volume to work, you have to reboot.
S- talk to Verizon tech, there will be an update out to fix this issue. Not sure when..

Phone keeps rebooting on Auto-Update Time/Date

If I boot my phone up, go to the home screen, my phone will get the little soft popup s aying "Auto Update of Time/Date" and then everything pauses, and the phone "soft" reboots itself. Meaning it doesnt do a full reboot, but it comes back searching for a network, performing the media scan, etc.
I did a factory reset to get rid of this, and now it's back again. It's MAD annoying. Anyone else having this issue?
Yep I noticed the same thing with mine. I thought it was normal but I'm beginning to think otherwise. I'm getting some connecting to dm server thing as well.
Sucks, the phone's awesome but if it keeps doing this then it won't even matter.
One thing I noticed is if I let the phone sit, and load up it's usually okay. If I try to go into the phone settings while it's booting up, thats when I'll see the auto update note and bam, restart. It'll keep doing this until I either leave it alone or pull the battery.
Good to hear it's not something im doing.
deng this just started happening to me like 5 minutes ago
its getting a bit of annoyed
my phone was rooted and then i unrooted it and it still has the same problem
Do you folks have any Task-kill app running in the background?
I had the same issue as well when I had a Task Killer app running in the background. It seems the app is killing some service that is causing soft reset. I turned off the auto mode last week and this hasn't happened since then.
Hope this helps..
fix
if u download any gameloft games thats your problem my phone was doing that then i took the games from gameloft off and now it works great hope that helps
Certain apps can cause it, I also had a gameloft game cause it. If you need to get access to uninstall apps the phone should boot fine without a sim in it.

I am having the same problem, The phone keeps doing a soft reset. I noticed this happening after I tried to download a song from an app I installed on my phone. I deleted the app, and the problem still exists, it is REALLY ANNOYING

No sound bug 2.2 froyo! Anybody else? Work around, besides sbf'n?

I had this problem when I installed a leaked version of 2.1 on my eris! No sound, and can't hear who is on the other end. Have to reboot in order for x to act like a phone. This happening to anybody else?

Theres no known issue that ive heard of with people losing their sound completely.. are you currently using either of these 2 options:
Double-tap to Silence -or- Smart Profile -Face Down to Vibrate
if so that may be the cause. These 2 are know to cause problems with both ringtone sounds and other issues. The only fix is a complete wipe to factory defaults.
Another thing it could be is... are you using a restore program to restore all you apps after upgrading to froyo?? does this program also restore system settings?? Maybe it faulted some settings.. If so, then do a factory reset and dont use that program.
just my 2 cents.
Same problem Here!
It only works for the first call. The next one will have no sound. Have to restart the phone to use it again.
The problem persists even if I use it in 2G only mode
This has happened to my phone only twice. It's like the earpiece goes out. The rest of the phone works fine though. Only solution I've found is rebooting.

Music from unknown origin - not killable :(

Starting today I at times get some melody that sounds a bit like that Samsung bootup sound, but longer, maybe 10 seconds - and it keeps getting repeated, killing my nerves.
Went into application manager, but wasn't able to identify the culprit, and to my annoyance I wasn't even able to stop it at all (except for by reboot)! Battery stats showed a lot of drain by media server, but it wasn't in the process list. A friend suspected Timely to be the cause of it, but uninstalling that alarm and clock app didn't stop the melody. After another reboot the tablet remained silent - until a minute ago, when I plugged the power plug into its jack. [emoji35]
Anybody here having a hint for me? I'd really appreciate!

Your tab is haunted. ......lel
Just kidding not sure what could be making that. Do you have any sort system sounds enabled? Try leaving System Sounds off and media and notifications on, and so on so at least you get an idea of where its coming from
Sent from my Nokia Lumia 1520
Hm. Muting notifications makes the sound go away, muting system sounds doesn't.
Is there some tool like lsof for Android?
Silly question, of course it's available.
But - the output doesn't show ogg/wav/mp3
Any hints what to look for?
sounds like an app is trying to push through a notification that might not be coming through. I would try (i know its a pain) deleting and re installing some of the apps that you may have installed around the time the noise started occurring. I had turned off notifications for an app that still managed to do a pop up notification for a game i play (settings still showed notifications off). I had to force stop and wipe the cache and it never did it again.
Hm. Do you think wiping the whole system cache will do as well?

It's worth a shot. You could also just do factory reset
I had a similar problem and it was the Yahoo! mail app, which was configured to play a notification sound when messages were received, but not to show anything in the status bar, which was making me crazy because I did not know why the device was playing a sound without nothing visibly happening. Hope it'll help. Cheers!

[Q] sudden failure

hey guys
was using my nexus 4 5.0.1 (stock, bootloader unlocked, not rooted) with no issues this morning. then suddenly i can launch google music. the app launches and i get a white screen with nothing on it. so eventually the app crashes. then i try launching messenger, good play, and many other apps with the same result. my phone begins to get very slow and laggy, nearly non responsive. i restart my phone and i get no service. restart my phone again and a few apps like chrome will launch, and whatsapp aparently, but ive tried so many other apps that will not launch or hang on launch. any ideas? is it a failure of sorts or will a wipe fix the issue?
edit: i think its helpful to note this is a refurb phone. there have been times when my phone suddenly restarts (normal for android) and other times when the screen just goes off and i have to hold the power button till i get red blinks or sometimes i have to plug the phone into the wall for it to restart.
edit2: just restarted my phone connected to the wall. wifi wont even turn on. i waited 60s and it finally switched on. its like the phone has gone limp lol. it wont connect to my mac anymore either ("try reconnecting or restarting your device").
It sounds like your memory chip is failing. I would advise you to extract as much valuable data off of the device while you still can. Then we can troubleshoot to see what the problem really is without having to worry about important data loss.
