Also Droid 4 speaker issues

I cannot hear phone calls except through the speaker phone. This started about 5 months ago. At first I thought it was connection issues. Any suggestions.

Let's bring back the noise, kstile3! Does the audio work with headphones connected? Does there appear to be any dirt or lint in the headphone jack? How long have you had the device? Is there any physical or liquid damage? I am eager to get this resolved!
Thank you,

Droid X issues...Not a happy customer :(

I am having a few issues and I just wanted some input on my problem. I originally purchased a Droid 2 Global and didn't love it as much as I thought so I returned to the store and did an exchange for the Droid X. I like the device for the screen size and the camera quality (which is stunning!). Keep in mind I have called technical support before going to the store for each new phone.
My first Droid X would randomly take black blank images when using the camera and I use the camera a lot since I have a 14 month old niece living with us and we like to capture lots of memories This one also had dust under the screen. I had the phone less than a week and when I took it back to the store they immediately swapped it for another brand new X.
The second one a few days later had the same intermittent camera issue and dead pixels on the screen. I took it back to the store again and they again replaced it with a new X.
This third X appears to have no screen issues but the camera issue persists. I called technical support who apologized about all the issues and asked if I would talk to a Verizon Technician who logs issues with phones into a database so they can work on fixes and see if there is a trend in the issues I am having. I agreed to do so. I got to a nice woman who took all my information and logged the issues. She said they have had a few customers call in with the same exact complaint but it wasn't frequent because she believes because it works some of the time they don't bother calling. She then asked if it would be okay with me if she conferenced a Motorola Technician into our call to also log the issue with them. I agreed. Motorola got on the phone and got the MEID numbers for all threee phones and my email address and he said they have quite a few complaints about the same issue and that they appreciate the feedback. The woman from Verizon then asked if Motorola had any input on when and if there would be a fix. He said they didn't know what was causing the issues so there was nothing as of now and we relieved him from the call. She then asked me if the issue was bothersome and I said yes it was but I really like the Android system and all that. She said if it bothered me I should take it back to the store again and have them move me to a different Droid device, such as Fascinate or back to my Droid 2 Global. I was already aware that you get one swap from a device to another device in 14 days and I had already done that. She then told me that because of the issues this swap was considered different and that she would note the account so that when I went to the store they would go ahead and do it without issues. She was very nice and recommended a few phones for me and I left for the store....
I got to the store and walked in and they asked me how they could help me. I said it was a long story but technical support troubleshooted the phone with me and the phone has had the same recurring issue as the others. She pulled the account up and saw the notes and said oh they want you to move to a different device. It so happens to store manager was sitting there playing a game on his Galaxy S Tablet and asked if I used the camera a lot and if so I would like the Incredible or the iPhone 4. I said I didn't want an iPhone. I wanted another Droid. He looked at the notes and the account after offering me whatever Droid I wanted since they were all 199.99 or less like I had paid and then said that I had already did an exchange and that he refused to do another swap. He then also said about the X having a mechanical shutter and sometimes they stick but to deal with it and to not bring the phone back until the camera "refused to take pictures alltogether".
I am so upset. I looked like a complete idiot and he made me feel so stupid. He talked to me like a little kid. They also accessed the account without any verification other than asking me what my cell phone number was. They never had me verify the last four of my social like they should have as well.
I then called customer service again and they immediately saw that the store should have honored what the representative noted with Motorola and that they should have did the exchange without an issue but they could only do refurbished devices. She tried to offer me a Droid Eris...It's retired and she wouldn't refund the 199.99 I paid for the phone regardless.
Any ideas on what to do? I am so upset
Justin

What I have learned that this type of issue usually comes from the stores location, I know it shouldnt make a diffrence but some employees in curtian areas seem to approuch customer service a bit wrong, did you try tp go to another store, I know its a pain and you shouldnt have to do this but this is just a trick that works for me? I hope under this situation that this was just a situation with bad management.
Now as for the issue you are having with camera is kind of strange one because I use my camera pretty heavy without any issues so far... Knock on Wood..
Good luck on getting everything straighten out...

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7. Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7.
Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.0.2. When I am on calls the phone started to beep and vibrate and sometimes change the call to speaker. It seems to be that the screen is sometimes active whilst on calls and so my ear is actually pressing the buttons and hitting numbers or changing it to speaker phone. It has also cancelled a call a few times.
This is extremely annoying and makes every call a worry.
Any ideas of how to solve this problem?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Droid Charge Issues

I have only had my Droid Charge for 2 months and I absolutely hate it! It locks up all the time and I have to take the battery out. Then it switches to 3G where I live. Now, it won't charge. I charge it every night. Charged it last night, barely used it today and it's almost dead. It's been on the charger for 2 hours now and is still showing a dead battery. I have about had it with this phone. Of course Verizon is absolutely no help! They're the ones that talked me into this phone. I wanted the Iphone and they said this one was way better. It's a piece of crap!!!

I haven't had the opportunity to read through all of the Droid Charge Issue posts but it appears that we are ALL having similar problems to an extent....
I have had my charge since May and if memory serves me correctly, I had it replaced once within the initial month or so of having it
I have ALWAYS had an issue with 4G coverage..I've always been told that it's due to a lack of a connection in my area but friends in my home are able to get 4G service and I can in certain parts of the home. I was actually getting 1X service which is just RIDICULOUSLY unacceptable for what I paid for this phone.
Lately the 4G/3G service in my home has not been AS BAD but still is not great. I never had a signal at work and was told it was due to the structure of the building as the service was designed to work outdoors, really?? so I'm going to sit outside and make phonecalls and get the internet connection I need?! umm NO.
my Biggest complaint recently has been my phone freezing, the screen during off during a call in which i need to use the dialpad and cannot get the screen to come up and the CHARGE's inability to CHARGE!!!! When I use my wall charger (YES the SAMSUNG charger that came with the phone) or a cigarette lighter charger in my car the phone goes back and forth from charging to not charging. I have to move it a million different ways for it to charge and cannot guarantee that it will charge during the night. Due to the nature of my job and the situations that I am put into while at work, I need my phone to be RELIABLE and CHARGED at all times! I cannot deal with this charging issues. It was not happening as recent as two months ago. I noticed that my car charger worked fine and then one day would bring up the message asking if I want to access the media or mass storage instead of charging it. The mere sound of the beeping going from an uncharged to a charged state every second without any movement is making me what to end my contract.
Verizon needs to do something. I have not turned my phone in yet because I am NOT WILLING To pay all of the money that I do to be sent a REFURBISHED phone that was turned in for the same issues!
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I was also talked out of buying the iPhone back in May (of course theres little profit on them for VZW!)

IPhone 5 battery life and speaker issues

Hey guys. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but firstly. The battery life *****. And really *****. I let phone completely drain at least twice a month. Then fully charge it. Not a huge user but data I know eats it. We are talking literally within two hours of not using it and it will be down to 59%. Didn't expect this off a phone like this. iPhone 4S beats it hands down. Considering going back to it tbh.
Speaker issues are terrible. Tried the music on full pause. Then exit. Then test but still nothing. Rang apple they say its not a fault but why would other people be reporting it.
iPad 4 users. Do you have issues with battery life too? And very slow charge and very quick drain. This is a joke. Nearly a Grands worth of kit and you feel like your using a Nokia 3310.
#annoyed!

If tried techniques to get the battery to act right, such as rebooting by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, and those things haven't helped, take the iPhone and iPad to the Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see if there is a hardware fault. Do that before the warranty runs out so you are covered.

Speaker issue after Mavericks Upgrade

I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my Mac Pro (mid 2010 ver.)
Now when I try to listen to Pandora, iTunes, or anything that pushes sound thru the O/S, the sound "jumps" between my Bose 5 companion computer speakers (USB) and the internal Mac Pro speakers.
Additionally, when I go to Preferences-----Sound, you can literally see the O/S jumping back and forth to these two rows "Built In Internal Speakers" and "Bose USB Audio USB". More specifically, you will hear the music thru the Bose speakers and then about every 20 seconds (sometimes it goes for over a minutes) it will "beeeeeeep" and then jump to the Mac Pro internal speakers.
I tried deleting the two .plist files as previous mentioned in past threads with no luck. Before I upgraded to Mavericks I never had ANY sound/speaker issues what so ever.
Any suggestions? Thank you

Update Saturday Jan 4, 2014
Before my Mavericks upgrade on my Mac Pro, no problems ever (use my Mac 4-8 hours a day) using my Bose Companion 5 USB connected speakers. I've tried shutting the Mac down and plugging the Bose USB cable into another open USB port = no joy and other combinations. I tested the same Bose Companion 5 USB speakers on two other laptops with NO issues (ouch...they were running Windows 7) I have deleted the two .plist files, did the CMD+OPT+P+R reset, etc... = no change. Looked into Midi Audio Setup and did not see anything in there to change even though I tried a couple of things and no avail (there was no Garageband setting/entry).
I still get a solid "BEEEEEEEEP" sound every 20+ seconds, when the sounds tries to toggle, by itself, between the Bose USB Audio device and the Internal Speakers.

Palm TX speaker issues

Ok. First of all, I have to admit to still loving my Palm TX even though Palm has abandoned the stand-alone PDAs. That being said, I'm still troubleshooting my Palm TX speaker issues. I previously had no sound from the headphones or built-in speaker. I have replaced the built-in speaker, but nothing changed. Lo & behold when I look at the headphone jack one side is disconnected from the motherboard. When I physically hold the headphone jack in place, I can get some sound from the headphone jack (left headphone when headphone is completely inserted, right headphone when partially inserted). However, no matter what I cannot get any sound from the built-in speaker. I have tried canned air & WD-40 & when I have the TX disassembled, I can see the headphone switch (at least I think it's the headphone switch) moving on/off.
Now, if I solder the headphone jack onto the motherboard will this complete the connections for the built-in speaker (so that the TX will work as originally manufactured)? Or should I try to find a headphone jack replacement? I've searched for a motherboard replacement but this seems cost prohibitive since everything else is in perfect working order.
Thanks in advance for your help/assistance.
Post relates to: Palm TX

It would be my best guess that if you repair the broken headphone jack, it will return normal operation of the speakers.

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs

FSoundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs? ?
Greetings..
Running into a bit of a issue here I can't seem to fix. I've gone through the troubleshooting guides and FAQs already and they aren't resolving the issue.
My normal setup is a couple of desktop speakers plugged to the rear of the card through the standard ports (non-digital) and a headset with mic plugged to the device in front that includes volume controls for both mic and speakers.
I've just did a complete reinstall of Windows XP (32 bit) including everything up through SP3 and a reinstall of the drivers and associated software applications for the card as well.
The problem I am having is that I can no longer make the rear speakers (desktop speakers) play when plugged in. The 2 headset speakers still play just fine that are plugged in the front however.
What should I do to resolve this issue so that I can have both the desktop speakers and headset speakers both playing? I'm fairly sure I'm just missing a setting somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure where to fix this.
Thank you,
Culann HS

JRe: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs0 I'm afriad that the CMSS3D option did not work? ? I still cannot get any speakers to play out of the rear of the soundcard.
As I said before, the goal is to try to get sound to play out of both the headset and the speakers attached to the rear of the soundcard simuntaneously.
The headset is plugged into one of those devices in the front that is in a 5 & /4" bay that has the individual knobs for adjusting volume for the headset and outbound levels for the microphone.
The speakers are plugged into the back of the soundcard and do not play any sound in any of the sockets, starting from the firewire port and counting 3 over.
Any suggestions? I? thought it might have something to do with the setting of the speakers from control panel - > Sounds and Audio Devices -> Advanced and picking the right choice there. No luck however. Same for the Creative Speaker Settings as well.
I'm at wits end and I'd be very thankful to whoever can resolve this for me. =)

Iphone 3G S speaker issues with SMS

My new iphone has a speaker issue. When I get a text message, email, or alert the first one sounds like the speaker is blown out or distorted. However, if I go into setting to recreate the sound, it's normal. It seems to be just on the first text if the phone has been sitting for like 5 minutes. I called Apple and they said to do a restore and set up as a new phone. Did that and it is still doing it. Has anyone else had this problem or swapped their phones out yet? Just want to know if this is a hardware or software issue. I am leaning towards software because if it was hardware wouldn't it do it everytime?

I believe it may be a Sofware problem. Others are having various issues with sound as well...

LG Spectrum - Microphone and Speaker issues in a call

I have two LG Spectrum phones and both have the same problem. First problem: When in a call and using Speakerphone, voices over speaker on Spectrum are distorted / garbled unless volume is reduced to lowest 2 settings. However, playing music over the speaker at full volume works without issue. It appears the incoming Verizon Network Voice amplitude is too high and is overdriving the speaker. Second problem: The microphone volume is too low which causes cutouts and muffled volume to the other person. However, when using speakerphone mode, the microphone volume is significantly better to the other person, but still have "First problem" with Speakerphone listed above.
Is there a fix for these issues or will there be any software updates to resolve these issues?

So this seems to be a design issue that should be addressed by LG AND Verizon. We spent $$$ (although maybe discounted) and we deserve products that meet our basic needs, i.e. I bought a PHONE and should be able to use it as a PHONE, hence smartPHONE.
I also have 2 Spectrum's in which both have the same call quality issue of mumbling. Unfortunately we did not realize this to be such an issue and could not return them until 18 days after our purchase; and Verizon only backs their products for returns 15 days. Now we are stuck with 2 poor phone quality phones until we are "eligible" for another upgrade or pay full price (overpriced) for new phones. When we tried to return them on the 18th day the salesmen said the problem was the screen protector because it was covering the screen and the microphone was under the screen. Although I pointed out that in fact the microphone was not covered because it is on the bottom, hence the microphone hole. He said the only other option would be a warranty replacement. I guess my conversations with my wife will be limited to only a few minutes while I am traveling 2 weeks at a time for the next year and half, thank you Verizon for standing behind your products and taking care of your customers.
Sorry for the rant.

Blackberry Curve with Blue Ant 4 Speaker issue

I just purchased a Blue Ant 4 speaker phone. It pairs automatically with my phone without issues but my problem is with voice dialing. In order to activate this option I have to say Phone Commands. It then activates the voice dialing option and I can make calls. However when the call is ended the voice dialing option ends as well. The only way I can re-activate the voice dialing feature - I have turn off the speaker phone and turn it back on and say Phone Commands again. Is there any way for the voice dialing feature to stay active even when a call is ended? Also is there anyway to have voice dialing feature to automatically be activated when I turn the blue ant on so I don't have to say Phone Command every time?
If anyone has the step by step actions on how to do this I would appreciate it - I am a bit challenged with this technology! Thanks

SteveQuintanaRealEstate,
I'm saddened to hear that you've had such an experience with your Galaxy Note 4's. It sounds like Verizon has done everything possible to assist with your Samsung devices. Have you noticed any patterns to when the malfunctions occur?

HELP Droid 3 issues

Two Issues and a comment, hope someone can help. This is my 2nd droid 3 (less then a year old) first one lasted 3 days and it was only a refurbished one at that. Anyway, On 6/29 I got a text msg that state I must click on my verizon data widget to update my usage I dont have that widget, nor can I find it. Also, seems that my text messages are no longer being received. Can anyone offer any help. Thanks

1) Very odd, don't know about that one.
2) Try setting your facebook sync settings to sync all contacts (within the facebook app), give it some time to sync, then do the join process again. Those particular contacts may not have any similar info (email address, phone number, etc.) so it may not recognize they are the same person (especially if you have a slightly different name for them, like I have my mom listed as "mom", and her facebook profile has her full name). This should allow you to at least search for them. After they are joined, you should be able to put it back to sync only existing contacts so that your phonebook isn't full of facebook friends that you are never planning on calling.
