DROID X loses phone audio

My wife's DROID X periodically gets into a state where it tells her there is a call, she answers, and all the indications are on the phone that she has answered the call, but she can not hear the caller and the caller can not hear her. This can also happen when she is initiating the call. Hanging up and retrying does no good.
The one thing that works (most of the time) is to reboot the phone.
Not a very desirable problem (and solution) to have to deal with.
Has anyone else had this problem? Suggestions?

So its a simple fix for simple solution, for a common issue. So with any computer, software can start to get buggy and have issues, Fragmantation, Simple solution, do a backup of your phone and factory reset it.

Two Droid 2 Global phones - Flaky since software update

I have two Droid 2 Global phones which were purchased at the same time. Ever since the last software update, which I believe was the Gingerbread update, these phones have been acting flaky in several ways with various features just shutting down and only a restart of the phone able to make them work again. Both phones have been having the exact same problems so that leads me to believe it is likely software related.
1) It quits ringing...even with ringing volume turned all the way up, incoming calls just don't ring. Same with text messages. Restarting phone fixes the problem.
2) The camera will take a picture, but when you go to look at it in the gallery, it is just a blank image. Unless you go look at the gallery, you have no way of knowing the picture didn't take. Once again, restarting the phone fixes this.
3) I have similar issues with the bluetooth. I sync it up to my car stereo, but sometimes it just won't sync until I restart the phone.
With the age of these phones, I suspect there are no more software updates on the way from Verizon. Can anyone confirm that? Unfortunately, the last software update also prevented <Deleted per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.> Any suggestions on how to get these phones some sort of software update or useful again? A phone that doesn't ring isn't much use.

Hi jksoft,
I know how troubling these difficulties can be especially when it's happening to two lines of service. I extensively researched this trouble in our database as well as Motorola's and was unable to find this as any known trouble. The gingerbread update was the last release for the Droid 2 and no expected changes as of now.
Are you using the ringtones and notifications that are preloaded in the phone or the ones you have obtained elsewhere? If you haven't tried it yet, please use a notification tone and ringtone that is from the device itself. Let me know if this makes the device work correctly.
The trouble with camera and bluetooth don't have troubleshooting steps other than doing a hard reset of the device. This will completely wipe out the device but items like contacts and media can be backed up. To complete the reset go to http://bit.ly/rqKDhh and follow the steps for the preferred method. Please keep us posted as we may need to file an investigation with Motorola to review this.
Thank you,

Everytime I export from FCP using comressor I am lose my audio, any ideas as to why this is happening. Or do I have somthing turned off and I am just missing it? Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Exporting via Compressor may be recommended but it is slow and doesn't fully support all available filters, etc.
Try exporting the timeline as a QT Movie (the "normal" export) using Current Settings and them submit the resultant clip to Compression. Works for me...

Phone Audio to USB out- how?

Hey gang-
When I'm on the road, my iPhone is plugged into the USB port on my car stereo. This charges the phone and allows me to play iPod content and hear GPS commands over the car audio. Love it!
But what I can't do is hear phone audio that way. When I get a call, the Ring Tone does indeed play over the car speakers. But as soon as I answer, the caller audio plays only to the iPhone ear speaker or over the phone main Speaker- but never over the USB audio output.
Is there any way or any app that would enable this?
Thanks!
Dave

Dave, you are not the only one. I was able to achieve exactly what you are asking for before updating my iPhone to iOS 4. My phone is plugged into the car through a regular mini jack (not USB). I used to be able to pick up a call that would come through while I was listening to the iPod function on the phone. Both the phone ring AND the caller's voice would come through the car stereo speakers, and the microphone on the iPhone would pick up my voice, resulting in a "poor man's" hands free phone. The instant I updated to iOS 4, that capability was lost. I can pick up the call if it comes in while I listen to the iPod, and the caller will hear me but I will not hear them on the car speakers. If I tap the "speaker" button on the phone, I am then able to hear them but only on the phone's speaker.
I wish Apple would bring that capability back...

Phone Audio on Jabra SP700 Hands Free

I have a Palm Centro and a JabraSP700. I am able to setup the Palm Centro to communicate with the Jabra. But, I am unable to get the phone audio to play on the Jabra. When I make a phone call, the Jabra says that it is connected. When I quit the phone call, the Jabra says "call ended" and so it's clear the Jabra is communicating with the Palm But, the phone call audio remains on the Palm Centro.I can switch the audio from the normal ear speaker to the Palm Centro speakerphone and the audio goes to the phone speakerphone. Now, when I first did the setup, I got audio to go to the Jabra but that happened once and no more. I've searched the Internet far and wide but there seems very few instructions for this kind of task. The Palm instruction manual has very little in this regard.

When I upload/import a .AVI video into MPEG Streamclip, I lose the audio.

Whenever I upload a .AVI video into MPEG Streamclip, I lose the audio. The video plays fine in Quicktime but when I upload into MPEG Streamclip, the audio is replaced with some "clicking" sounds. Can someone please help me resolve this and fix it so that my audio gets imported as well? By the way, this is a problem that is only with .AVI files. When I try importing MP4 videos, they work fine and the audio gets imported as well. I need to resolve this so that I can convert my videos from .AVI to DV format with the sound. Thanks!

Basically you can only add a video file to Itunes if it is either MP4 or the other supported format h2.. <---- i forget what its called i had this problem when i first plugged my i-pod in and got extremely aggitated until i realised and sorted it
that said i dont therefore understand the convert for i-pod button when the only video files able to be added are already in ipod compatible format? doesnt make sense to me but then maybe im missing something i mean i am a nOOb!

No phone audio but speaker phone works

Since the 2.2 upgrade my phone audio will be dead unless I turn on the speaker phone. Doing a powerdown reset has fixed this in the past, but today no help. I searched the fourms and found others with 2.2 audio issues but in their case the speaker phone is not working, opposite of my issue.
Sometimes it will work normally. Anyone else have this issue or a solution. This problem did not surface until the 2.2 update.
Thanks

I had the same issue and a restore from backup and a reset to factory default settings did not work. I did notice that when I tried to turn up the volume the phone thought that my headphones were plugged in. I plugged my earbuds in and I could make calls and hear just fine but when I took the earbuds out I could only use the speaker phone.
So I took it into the Apple store and they said that there is a sensor in the earphone jack that can be clogged with dust and dirt. They then preceded to pull out a can of air and sprayed into the headphone jack and it now works just fine. So if you have a can of air give it a try.

XAV-701HD - No phone audio

When my XAV‑701HD receiver is used as a Bluetooth headset, no phone audio comes though any of the car speakers. Whether I make a phone call or receive a call though the receiver, I cannot hear the other person on the call. The other person can hear me, but I cannot hear them.
Using the same phone, I am able to play music over Bluetooth through the receiver and the music plays successfully over my car speakers.
The microphone jack is plugged in tight in the back of the receiver.
Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks.

Lance,

"find my iphone" sent alert to my phone. I did not lose phone.

Why would I get a sound sent to my phone from "find my iphone" if i did not lose phone or initiate this?

It shouldn't happen unless it was initiated by someone else who knows your iCloud credentials.

Droid Charge bad phone/failure - verizon support non existent

Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

Why would they sell a phone that was defective? Why do they not own up that the device did not and has not functioned?
Let me add some other issues I missed.
7) Dials multiple times the same number.
8) Dials the number minutes after trying to call a phone number
9) constantly force closes applications.
10) Battery life is non existent (I have bought at least 8 spare batteries)
11) Slow to respond
Let me just post what I have done.
1) I stopped by a store
2) Called customer service
3) tried to create a question in forum and verizon deleted it.

Droid Incredible - Terrible Phone

I'm really sad to say that the Droid Incredible has turned out to be a terrible phone. I loved it for almost 18 months, then I started having "problems". The problems I have been having started with the Google Navigation several months ago - this was my favorite feature of the phone. The phone shut down in the middle of navigation when I was a few turns from my destination. From there it has gotten steadily worse. I took it to the Verizon store a the beginning of December when it went into a reboot loop - i.e. it shut down, then rebooted to the "eye" screen, then shut down again and went on an endless loop. The nice people at the store did a factory reset for me. At the time I did not know this was a common problem with Droid Incredible. Now I know and have lost count of the number of factory resets I have done on the phone since early December - probably 8-10. I just did another one today. My phone has been usable for about 15 of the last 24 hours, but now my texting feature doesn't work at all. That is a new development in the failures of this phone. I have not used navigation in about 2 months because it reliably shuts my phone down. Yesterday the simple Google directions feature made my phone shut down, again just a few turns from my destination. Since early December I have probably had to reboot/restart my phone 30 or so times due to reboot loop. When this does not work, I do some kind of cache partition clearing, and when that does not work is when I have to do factory reset. I have searched these forums and see that the only recommendations Verizon has are to buy a new phone, buy a refurbished phone or next time buy insurance. This is the first time in about 10 years I have been truly disappointed by Verizon. The worst is when my phone is in a loop and nothing helps, I try to go online for support, but I can't get email support for that problem, they say I must call. I CAN NOT CALL FROM A BROKEN PHONE. I am planning on upgrading to the iPhone, but my full upgrade is not due until late April. I am trying to trudge through with this terrible phone until then, but it is becoming nearly impossible. It is simply unacceptable for a device that is supposed to be a contender to the highest rated smart phones to behave this way with no support and that the device does not last even a full 2 years. I do realize that this is mostly an HTC issue, not a Verizon issue, but that doesn't make me any less frustrated. It is also suspcious that there are no other posts on these issues here. I guess that would be bad for business. I am not a complainer, very seldom do I complain, but these major problems seem like they are being ignored or swept under the rug.

I agree with you100%. I got this phone from my grandmother because she recently upgraded to the bionic. when i got the phone the sd card was fine. it showed pictures well, i could unmount the card and everything was ok. well i put my sd card in, pictures came up fine. well, i had to do an update and the card wouldn't read anymore. so i called ts and they troubleshot the phone. factory reset idk how many times. they sent another one. same thing. seems like after the update it wouldn't work. i have went thru three of those phones and i have this phone. oh did i mention that the sd card that came out of the phone and the one i was using worked in any other droid, multi-media phone, computer, whatever I put it in.

Droid X loses calendar appointments

My droid X consistently loses appointments from my calendar. Since I use Exchange at work to make all of my appointments, those are the ones that it loses. I have re-entered several and they still drop off after a little while. I cannot find any consistency in how this happens. It appears to be random. I do not really want to use Touchdown as it appears to be an unnecessary cost.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Thanks

This seems to be more of an actual software problem within your device. I suggest performing a hard reset then re-setting up all your accounts. The steps to perform the hard reset are listed below:
To reset your phone to factory settings and erase all
the data on your phone, press Menu > Settings
> Privacy > Factory data reset > Reset phone.
Warning: All data on your phone will be deleted.
(Nothing on your memory card is deleted.)
To reset your phone to factory settings and erase all the data on your phone,
press Menu
> Settings
> Privacy
> Factory data reset
> Reset phone.
Warning: All data on your phone will be deleted.(Nothing on your memory card is deleted.)
Hope this helps.

Iphone 4S; Phone & audio piece; Incoming calls are NOT routed automatically??

When I dial out; no problem the calls automatically goes through ear pice.
When I get incomming calls the call goes to phone, not even to the speaker in in the phone. So I have to
1.Slide the bar (then first realizing (again) dam: I hear nothing)
2. Choose the box for speaker options
3. Choose my blue ant piece..
By then some callers think I am not picking up or there is somthing wrong..!
My 3 colleaguers have same phone and no such problems. We are at a loss and I could not find reply in community groups. There was note about Iphone 5 and not correcting to Car speaker automatically. This was noted as a softwre issue Apple might address in next version. But since my colleagues do not have problem with their Iphone it must be either my settings or a weird fault with my phone.
One of my collegues have same ear pice as me, so the issueis not that either.
Is there some weird setting I need to fix to correct the problem?
Thank you

Are you able to make calls? I would try a couple different things -
1. Try doing a double hard reset - Press and hold home button and the sleep wake button at the same time until the screen displays the slide to shut down red button. Continue pressing and holding both the buttons until the screen goes black and then the apple logo flashes up. Continue pressing and holding both the home and sleep wake button beyond this point until the screen goes black again. At this point, let go of the home button and press once the sleep wake button as you would to start your phone. See if this double hard reset helps clear out any cache.
2. If this fails, I would try restoring the phone as a new phone in iTunes. Backup your phone before this so that you dont lose your contacts, etc. You can do a couple test calls once the firmware is installed before setting up the phone, data, apps, etc. If it looks good, try restoring your phone from an earlier backup.
If everything fails, call AppleCare or see a Genius in the store.

Error message after upgrade to iTunes 11: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point my PC running XP loses all audio.

Several attempts to upgrade to iTunes 11 have failed. After an upgrade to 11 the error message reads: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point--after the upgrade to iTunes 11--my PC running Windows XP loses audio playback for all functions--in iTunes, in the browser and the volume icon disappears from the System Tray. Only by removing iTunes 11, and then using System Restore to turn back the OS settings can I return the PC to normal functioning.
I did that. I reinstalled iTunes 10.5. Everything seemed fine, but when I try to plug in and copy a CD to my iPhone 4S an error message reads roughly: 'iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or higher to work.'
What might be the problem with my audio configuration?
Why doesn't my iPhone 4S work with iTunes 10.5? It used to work with iTunes 10.5.
Please advise.
