Earpieace / Sound Issues with Droid Razr M

Having issues with my phone, bought new in September 2012, since yesterday morning.
When I make a call using the earpiece, I cannot hear it ringing (like dialing out to them) and after they answer, I cannot hear the person on the other end when they speak. If I put it on speakerphone, they can hear me just fine and I can hear them. Also on speakerphone, I can hear it ringing (dialing out). When receiving a call, my ringtone audibly works, but then the same situation applies once I answer it - I cannot hear they, but they can hear me. Again, if I put it on speakerphone, both parties can hear each other. My alarm / ringtone works just fine, as well as all my other ringtone / notifications - such as text, etc. But, if I try to play a YouTube video, play music through Pandora, or play another audio / video file with sound, it does not produce any sound, even through headphones attached to the jack. It also plays sound when starting up - the "Droid".
Seems like a phone issue considering it is working for some things, but not for others. I have gone through and checked all settings, tried it in safe mode, did reboots, etc, but all to no avail. Anyone have any other troubleshooting suggestions, or are having the same problem? It seems I have going to have to have it replaced - hoping this would be a manufacturers defect replacement though and not something that I should have to use my insurance on!
Thanks!

Bluetooth Issue with Droid Razr Maxx

I have had my Razr Maxx for about 3 weeks. From the jump I have had problems playing music thru several bluetooth devices. It will play fine for a few minutes, then music will start stuttering(dropping in and out) and continue to do so. Music plays fine when playing thru the phone speaker or wired headphones, but fails when using bluetooth. I called in, and they sent me another phone, and the same problem is occurring with the new one. I'm figuring its a software issue, bc I had no problems with my Droid X. Is anyone else having this problem?? I probably listen to music just as much as I talk on the phone and this is def. frustrating.

Battery Issues with DROID RAZR

This is the 2nd RAZR I've gotten from Verizon, and I'm having the same issues. I have to charge the battery several times a day, even when I'm not using it. The so-called "Smart Actions" do nothing for saving my battery - they just annoy me. The battery gets hot as fire when I'm using the phone for extended periods of time, whether talking, texting, navigating, or playing games/music. I've only been with Verizon since February, and this doesn't give me very much confidence in their products. I'm seriously considering going a different route completely. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues and how Verizon fixed them.

I was with another provider for years. I finally switched due to the needed coverage that Verizon provides. I just got the Maxx so I am not familiar with the battery life of the Razr, but there are several things you can do to help improve the battery life. Without knowing what all you have tried (with the exception of the smart actions app), I don't want to bore you with things you may have already tried.
Are you in a location that gets good 4g coverage? If not, then try setting the phone to the 3g coverage, as 3g will not eat up as much battery. Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network mode>CDMAonly will put you on 3g
Limit the use of background running widgets on your home screens
WiFi uses more battery than 4g also, so only use it as needed and then make sure it is off when not needed.
Same with bluetooth and GPS.
See what applications you have downloaded that might require running background data. Some applications run in the background and using data will run down the battery quite a bit as well.
Visit the Android website to see what others suggest about how to save on battery life too. This can be very helpful and may tell you other ideas that could help.

Sound issues with Droid X2

I have a Droid X and my husband has the X2. Recently, his notification and ringtone volumes have been so low, he has been missing his calls. I've double checked to see if the volume is all the way up, and it is. Media, notification, ringtone volume is all the way up. Still, too quiet, even when switching to other ringtones. I tried powering it off and removing the batter, re-inserting and powering back on, but it did not fix the problem. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?

Hello BreatheAkasha,
I've researched the difficulty you're experiencing with your Droid X 2 and this is not commonly reported with this device. Are the ringtones that you're using downloaded from a third party application or are they the ones that came with your device? If you're using a third party application, please remove and retest. Let me know if your issue continues so I can further assist.

Sound issue with apple tv

hi ,
I am getting sound issue with my apple tv recently. when you navigate around the apple tv menu, the sounds are there but when i try to play any video, the sound is not coming out. (Same with airplay)
The issue can be fix with restarting my apple TV. However, i want a permanent fix. it's not APPLE product at all to always restart to get the apple TV to play sound.
Anyone know any permanent fix? All the software are latest.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Vista SP 1 Sound Issues with Creative Drivers

Hi all, I recently switched to a X-Fi Elite Pro, with a Nvidia Video Card.
Windows Vista SP (32bit)
Intel Pentium D .8 Ghz
2gb RAM
XFX GeForce 8600 GT 52mb running
Creative X-Fi Elite Pro
(it's been a while since I've needed this kind of support so let me know if more info is needed)
Anyways, from the moment Vista plays the logon sound there is static crackling and chirping noises whenever there is audio playing at the same time as any kind of visual change on the screen (not every screen update). For example videos on websites that play them as plugins are especially static-y. However, playing a fullscreen game (i.e. World of Warcraft) does not produce the static.
Interestingly, I have now tried two different video cards. The Nvidia and now a ATI Radeon, both have the same identical problem. I first thought that it might just be a Nvidia Issue but this is not the case
I have checked for IRQ conflicts and none exist that I can find. I have updated Windows as much as I think I can. I've tried changing Creative drivers as well.
Any advice is appreciated.Message Edited by djscotty on 0-04-2009 05:7 [email protected]

Having sound issues with Mid 2011 iMac 27"

Having sound issues with Mid 2011 iMac 27". It has 10.10.2 OS X. Could this the issue and if so how do I revert to 10.7.3

It is almost impossible to diagnose sounds over the internet, however here is a link to some failing HD sounds. If one of yours be happy, at any rate take it in for service. If you got AppleCare or it's less than a year old it's covered.

Thoroughly disappointed with Droid Razr

I paid a premium price less than a year ago for a LEMON of a phone -- the Droid Razr by Motorola. I have now replaced by new phone with three (3) refurbished phones because of the faculty Google operating system and poor manufacturing by Motorola, which is now owned by Google. Sorry I abandoned my old Blackberry, but I feared the RIM would not survive.

If you could explain the problem you are having, somebody here might actually be able to help you.
And FYI, the RAZR was already being designed, probably built, possibly released before Google took over. Sounds like you have some pre-determined issues with Google, which should probably be addressed to Google themselves.

Progressive Issues On Droid Razr M Since Upgrade to 4.4.2

At first, when my Droid Razr M updated to 4.4.2 in May, the only issue I noticed was that it frequently makes the small noise it usually only makes right before I receive an alert or it starts to ring. Now, it happens when I plug it into the charger, when it boots up after I've turned it off and on again, or various other times when there's no notification sound associated.
I've also noticed a significant rise in battery consumption, making it almost impossible to get through a day without having to charge it, even if the most I'm doing it checking Twitter a couple times an hour.
However, main issue has come in the last couple of weeks. It keeps rebooting itself for no apparent reason. I surmise it has to do with one of the several apps I have installed, but seeings as several update frequently, it's a bit difficult to tell with one may be the culprit.
Then there's the text message issue. I WAS (note this is in the past tense) using a 3rd party SMS app, mySMS. About two weeks ago, I started having issues receiving text notifications. More to the point, more often than not, I wasn't receiving them, which is frustrating when I'm expecting to hear back from someone and think they haven't responded, when in reality they have, I just haven't received the notification.
A couple days ago when I went to text a friend, I noticed an unread text from DAYS prior that I never received a notification for, so I switched back to the default SMS app. I texted two friends. One of them responded. We proceeded to text back and forth for the better part of an hour with no complication. I never received a text from the other friend. So, a few hours later I texted again. Still no response (which is unlike her). I then messaged her on Facebook, where she did respond and informed me she HAD texted back both times. In addition, she'd tried calling me and when she went to leave me a voice mail, it hung up on her. She was, however, able to call and leave a voice mail via her work cell.
I called her and could barely hear her, though she could hear me fine. The call kept breaking up on my end. She informed me that, like I with the other friend I'd texted that day, had texted others with no issue.
I tried rebooting my phone and using Google Hangouts for texting instead, to see if that would resolve the issue. When neither of those worked, I made sure everything was backed up and did a factory reset on my phone. Not only did it not resolve the texting issue, but it's still rebooting iteslf randomly and making that annoying little noise when there's no alert of any sort coming through.
I've had this device for a little over a year and am not due for a new one for another year. I can't afford to replace it or spend whatever ridiculous amount is expected to replace it via insurance (which I can't even remember if I have anymore).

I appreciate you trying so many fantastic steps to find a resolution to these difficulties, thagrrrl79. Since you went as far as the reset, I'd like to have you check a couple things. Please go into Settings>Backup & Reset and let me know if "Back up My Data" and "Automatic Restore" are checked. Also, try removing your SD card from your phone to see if the rebooting contninues.
