ICS Update Caused Sound Issues

I just received the ICS update last night (at 3 a.m. - thanks for the heads up on that VZW...), and now when I make & receive calls the user on the other end can only hear me if I use my speaker phone. Is anyone else having this issue? Ideas on how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Wow, you guys are not going to believe this! I found someone who had the answer, at least it worked on my T-Bolt. This gal (I assume because user name is Joy11) called Verizon customer support and they told her to go to (ready for it?) Settings-Call, scroll down to Other Call Settings and unclick the Hearing Aids check box. I just did that, sure enough it was checked, unchecked it, and made a call. Phone worked. Person could hear me just fine.
I have absolutly NO idea how that box got checked. It had to have come that way with the ICS update. When I woke up Friday morning and saw that the phone was updated, I did not goof with it but went on with my morning routine. It wasnt until I tried to call a client that I found he couldnt hear me. I cannot believe how much aggrivation and time I have put into this ******* problem and how close I came to doing a Factory Reset or <Comment deleted per the ToS.> phone.
I promised on another forum that I wouldnt rant about Verizon, HTC and sneak attack updates until I got my phone fixed. If you will excuse me, it's time to go and fullfill my promise. I have plenty to say.
Heres a link to my thread about this on Android Central http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-htc-thunderbolt/251157-phone-mic-dead-after-ics-update.html

Will ICS update fix overheating issues on Xperia Mini?

Like seemingly thousands of other people my Mini was turned in to a brick because of overheating causeing the back and menu buttons to constantly trigger. (This problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/23778?start=960&tstart=0). In a different country to place of purchase so warranty doesn't work and its been sitting in the drawer doing nothing for a few months.
Question is, will the same problem persist after the ICS update? Will all those people like myself who were sold a dud be able to take them out of the drawer? I literally have to open the freezer and rub the phone over a bag of peas for it to work. (Nice engineering there Sony)
There is apparently a fix that involves rooting the phone and running a script to reduce touch screen sensitivity.. but I have neither the time nor technical proficiency to be sure that I wouldn't mess it up. Why Sony hasn't implemented a touchscreen sensitivity slider in the phone options.. I don't know...
Anyway.. given that it is a whole new operating system, will the issue still be there? Or should us Mini owners just forget it and throw the thing in the bin?

I had also the same problem. After a couple of months I gave up and bring the phone to the service center. They have fixed it in half hour by doing calibration. I have made a backup of all applications since the procedure erase everything on phone (not sd card). Make sure you sync contact with google or export them to sd card. Now its working fine. They said that the program update will not fix this.
As I can see and I read from service paperm they had change the whole screen with front cover , microphone and a usb cap. Who knows why.

Windows 7 Update caused sound glitch

Hello
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1545.
I recently encountered an issue with my computer where there was some sort of memory leak that was causing constant freeze ups. Also, the sound on on any sort of media (iTunes, Netflix, youtube, etc.) would glitch every 30 seconds or so. By that I mean it
would sound as if the computer was lagging, but it was not always happening at the same times the computer freezing was.
After some research I determined that a Dell wireless driver was causing the memory leak, so I uninstalled it and the computer was no longer freezing up. However, the sound issue was still occuring. After a few days of great frustration, I decided to just
reformat my computer. The sound was working fine after the reformat, but then I installed all of the Windows updates and it is glitchy again.
I'm not sure what update did it as there were so many, but I uninstalled the service pack 1, but it didnt change anything, so I reinstalled it.
I have determined that it is a software issue and not hardware as if I plug headphones in I still get the glitch and when I did a Linux live boot, the sound worked fine.
I have run these tools, but they have found nothing:
Windows Memory Diagnostic
Windows performance troubleshooter
Windows audio troubleshooter
System File Check
MalwareBytes, Microsoft Security Essentials, Avira
I have also installed every and any driver I can find, but nothing has changed.
I am not sure what caused the initial problem before I reinstalled Windows as I hadn't downloaded anything or installed any new programs in at least 2 weeks. I've had the laptop for over a year and had no issues with it. This may sound crazy, but on the
day of the initial memory issues, there were high levels of Aurora activity due to a large solar flare; I have heard that the electromagnetic interference can screw with technology, but that seems a little farfetched to me.
If anyone has even the slightest idea what it could be, please let me know. I have been trying to fix this for almost a month now.
Thank you,
Jesse Ferland

Hi,
Regarding the issue, I would like to recommend you checking the issue in Safe Mode and let me know whether this issue occurs in Safe Mode.
Since you said this problem occurs after installing Windows Updates. I suggest you restore your machine to an earlier point then check the issue again.
Also you could contact your manufacture to check your sound card.
Hope that helps

ICS update causing battery to drain in record time?

I just ran the ICS update on my 1st gen Razr, and it drains the battery in about an hour. Anyone else having this unfortunate result?

Tallulah36 wrote:
Here's what I discovered that worked:
For whatever reason, Verizon and Motorola have removed the option under
Mobile Network Settings to switch to “CDMA Only” in the Ice Cream Sandwich
update that is headed
to RAZRs over the next few days. For anyone that doesn’t have a RAZR MAXX, this is a
problem, as LTE destroys batteries faster than you can charge them. In place of
the former “CDMA Only” option is a “Global” feature for those that travel the
world. Why they didn’t leave the old option and simply add “Global” to the list
is a great mystery, but don’t worry, we have a way to get you onto 3G and
saving batteries in just a few steps.
Instructions:
1. Open the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
2. A menu will appear – choose “Phone information.”
3. Scroll down until you see the pulldown menu for
“LTE/CDMA/EvDo/etc.”
4. Tap on that menu and choose “CDMA Auto (PRL).”
4. Hit the back button to get out of these menus and to your home
screen.
5. Wait 20-30 seconds and watch your 4G LTE logo turn to 3G.
6. To confirm you are on 3G only, head into System Settings and tap on
the “More…” button.
7. Tap “Mobile Networks” and “Network type and strength” and you should
see two see of bars
You could also use this app called LTE OnOFF . It states it is for the HTC Thunderbolt, but others in the RAZR forum have said it works on the RAZR fine.

Upgrade to udev 177-3 caused sound issue

My upgrade to udev 177-3 resulted in sound issue. Now during kernel load as soon as udev loads it blacks out the screen for a few sec and then a I hear click noise in right speaker and and after udev is loaded I continuously get a hissing noise in one of the speaker(right). I have tried removing snd_hda_intel module and reinstalling module but it does not change anything. Interesting thing is the speaker that has the noise works when I play something. volume in the other speaker is very low and almost I can't hear anything on that. This is happening from early morning today after I upgraded to udev 177-3. Anybody experienced similarr issue or know how to solve this?
Although the upgrade went through without any error, I see following errors in errors.log

uograded to udev 178 and kernel 3.2.1-2 but I still hear noise in one speaker and no sound on the other speaker of headphone. Noise starts at the time of udev load during kernel load. Looked through many postings of forum but could not make any progress. Uninstalled pulseaudio, unloaded snd_hda_intel and reloaded but it did not make any difference... any ideas or direction?
here are the details:

ICS upgrade causing RAZR issues

Since my 1AM update, my screen now flickers apps on and off. My wallpaper will flash, the apps will disappear and then reappear, and it's almost like they have a refresh rate to them.
At times I can't open my media files or my camera.
Anyone else having issues like this? Is there a fix or is this a known issue?

ever since my phone update a few days ago it runs super hot and the battery life is down to lasting only 2 hours. i looked on some other forums and i uninstalled the app killer and it help some with the heat but got a big boost on battery life, so start with that. however i am unable to view any of my pictures/videos i took prior to update even though it shows them in my files and it will not save new pictures either. i off loaded my sd to my computer and tried to fomat the card but its still not working either. havent tried to send a text with a pic yet cause it wont alow me to see them. also remove/disable any battery extenders or any type of of app like that. ics does all that already and i guess the two programs cause apps to turn on then off then on............

10.5.3 update causes iCal issue on ONE account

So far, 10.5.3 update has been relatively painless for me. However, on one of the accounts on one of my Macs, iCal is causing a problem. iCal will not open, and indicates that the account does not have the permission to move the calendar cache in Calendars. Instruction is given to check the permissions on the folder Calendars. I have done so, and those permissions look ok, and they look the same as the permissions for the folder Calendars in all other accounts on all other machines (which are able to use iCal on their local data quite fine). The permissions are: owner: R/W, staff: Read only, everyone: Read only. The exact error message is: '"Calendar Cache" could not be moved because you do not have appropriate access privileges for "Calendars". To view or change access privileges, select the item in Finder and choose File > Get Info"'. Help please. My wife (her Calendar) is ready to kill me.

Well, I do not know about your specific problem, but I have learned from these forums about OS updates that I should always:
1.) Note from Software Update that there is a new OS version update, but do NOT download or install from Software Update.
2.) Download the COMBO version of the update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
3.) Using Disk Utility, run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk (and Repair Disk if needed) before the OS upgrade.
4.) Run the OS version upgrade from the downloaded Combo version.
5.) Restart the computer
6.) Using Disk Utility again, run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk (and Repair Disk if needed) before the OS upgrade.
Since you have a Permissions issue on the iCal file. the above routine might solve your problem.
BTW, I have solved problems using that routine even after running an OS version update from Software Update. Running the Combo update on top of the Software Update (incremental) version seems to fix some things that the incremental might have missed; but the key is running Repair Permissions and Disk Repair (if needed) before and after running the Combo update.
Hope this helps. (jk)

10.6.5 update causing network issues

Variations of this have already been posted but when I described my particular issues to Apple support the advice was roll back to 10.6.4!
I have 3 Macs, and this only appears to be affecting my MBP 13". Updating to 10.6.5 causes:
- ethernet to stop working; it shows as connected and shows correct IP but there is no acccess to web, offsite ping, or email. Reboots very occasionally get it to work but when changing any aspect of network config (eg switching on wireless or changing location) it fails again. Booting with ethernet cable plugged in usually results in the spinning beachball.
- wireless works reasonably, but any change to config causes loss of network as described above. VPN under wireless becomes very temperamental
- when the network fails, finder also crashes and restarting it only gets it going for less than a minute before it crashes out again.
- waking from sleep also appears to cause the network problems
I can replicate the problems easily; works fine up to 10.6.4 but as soon as a later upgrade is applied then it fails. To clear the problem I only have to reinstall the OS over the existing installation, I don't have to do a clean install. The problems occur on both my home network and my work network
I'm afraid that I can't get any logs from the failure because that would mean me breaking it and having to reinstall. I'm currently waiting for the next upgrade but wonder if anyone else has seen this - any thoughts/pointers welcome!

I have the exact same problem on two of my imacs, both have the 10.6.5 update and have been having networking problems since November of last year. I have pinged both IP addresses successfully so they are active.I have also tweaked the proxy settings for our network, trying all combinations, to no avail.
I have at least succeeded in getting one of the macs to connect to email and Safari but the connection in Safari times out after about 10 minutes and then hangs and you have to force quit. Thereafter only a reboot will restore Safari.
The second imac is in a worse state, in that it does not connect up at all even though the network is active and IP has been successfully pinged.

10.6.5 update causing problems/issues

Updated with the 'software update' app to 10.6.5 yesterday and immediately started having random instant shutdowns (as if all power was lost). Trying to restart would sometimes not even get thru the startup sound before it shut off again. Sometimes it would manage to boot and then shutdown. It's up and running now but the fans are running at full speed. This problem is also random and apparently unprovoked. Well done again Apple for screwing my machine - now I dare not trust it as a control machine for my work.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried the usual PRAM reset, permission repair, disk check etc.

Have been experiencing intermittent keyboard, trackpad and usb mouse function issues after installing the latest system and itunes updates, which was yesterday or day before.
(Lost even some work because the only way to get things moving was to restart.)
Tried solution (verify and repair disc permissions) that coconutmunk recommends under similar topic from 2007:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1190210
That solution fixed worst part of the problem: getting all 3 parts irresponsive.
It seems as problem is still not entirely solved as computer has once tried to lock all 3 again, however before I had chance to get concerned it locked up all 3 again by itself.
Yet, usb mouse keeps on getting disconnected every now and then randomly, even after 2 runs with disc permission solution.
By the way, I don't think reinstallation of entire system would be reasonable step, neither would it solve anything as you would still reinstall that very same update.
Conclusion from 2007topics, where people had issues with keyboards and/or mouse devices, was that it was Leopard system having those problems, nothing like that was reported in about Tiger system, as it seems.
Now, those problems were fixed back then with an update, but seems this latest update has brought back old issues!
Frankly, I really do not have time with computer issues, on top of Maya being characteristically moody already every now and then, as I have to be done with a pretty big project only within few days!
Please PLEASE, Apple crew, fix this issue asap!
I really need those things working properly quick!
Thanks in advance!

Flash player Update causing layout issues in Adobe Reader

I did an updated to adobe flash player to version 15.0.0.239 and now the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.09) Layouts don't work, only file list mode.
Is there any way of fixing this? This new layout issue is going to cause issues since the whole appeal of using Acrobat Portfolios is the Presentation Layout views.
Please help
thanks!

I have found sometimes you need to run Adobe's Flash uninstaller, before running the installer.
Typically the first whole number of a version is usually a major upgrade, versus an update, and hence why the built-in update function fails to see the new version on many software.
As for "safe", clone backup in case there is a feature you don't like about the new version, so you can always run it like it was before.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
You don't know how Adobe might alter the overall PDF frameworks on the computer when the upgrade is completed. If you don't clone, you may find yourself stuck with whatever changes they make.

Last night's update causing XML issues with MAC and MS Word

I am running Snow Leopard on a MAC. Last night Firefox installed an update, and the software I use for work no longer works with Firefox. I use a custom built web app that uses XML code to take web created info and compile into a Word document. Until this latest update, the issue had been when creating the Word doc, extra XML code was being written for images causing them to show as blank in the Word document. Now, the document is being created but not with a .doc extension. I had been in contact with Microsoft about the first problem with no resolution. They were able to duplicate the problem. The first problem only happens on a MAC and is not specific to operating system. This new problem is only happening with Firefox, not Safari, and started today after the last update.

HI,
If you post a crash report, perhaps we can help.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
You may have Safari third party plugins that were compatible with your previous version of Safari but not Safari 5.0.1. It's the responsibility of third party developers to update their software, not Apple.
Follow the instructions here. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If indeed you had third party add-ons installed and Safari still crashes, then post a crash report.

IOS 7.1 on iPhone 4 causing sound issues - no text alert, lock sounds, lack of vibration (sometimes) - anyone else got this issue?

Basically pretty much ever since I updated to iOS 7.1, I'm no longer getting my text alert sound for SMS or iMessage, the lock sound no longer plays and there is sometimes a lack of vibration, I can assure the sound is up on high, it is not on silent or do not disturb - though i have it on this sometimes. Has anyone else got this issue? As it is very irritating and needs to be fixed.

If you update ur iphone 4 and lost all those features, the only way you can fix it is with itunes, plug in to ur computer and restore the IOS , before do that make sure to back up all ur info on icloud and ur computer.
Good luck

10.6.4 Update Caused Battery Issues

Ever since I've updated to 10.6.4 my computer shuts off around 30% battery charge.
I receive no warning, no pop up.. nothing to alert me. I am able to turn the computer on and use the remaining charge; however, I keep loosing work.
I read in other sections that a few people are having the same issue. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

Same problem here. Im using a 15" MacBook Pro thats almost 2 years old running 10.6.4. The computer shuts down at about 50%.

Outlook 2010 Kb2956128 Update Causing Authentication Issue

After installing 2/10/15 [kb2956128] update for outlook 2010 desktop client, I got a popup requesting my password for outlook / exchange account. No matter how many times I put it in the password the popup comes back with a new request. I've
logged in to my exchange account via OWA and with my phone without an issue. When I remove the [kb2956128] update the problem goes away. Any suggestions or thought would be helpful.

Hi,
How about manually canceling the credential window, can Outlook still send/receive emails properly?
For this kind of credential issues, I would first try creating another Outlook profile and test if the issue persists.
Thanks,

Galaxy S4 KitKat Update Causing Major Issues With Data Speed and Text Messaging

Dear All,
My company has over 40 phone users and since the KitKat update has pushed out we are experiencing two major isssues:
Many of our phones are only getting 3G in places that historically before they had blazing fast 4G. Most message boards say to power off, remove the SIM card and replace. This gives only temporary relief. We get 4G for 10 minutes, and then it reverts to 3G, and it is slow 3G at that. I have seen where some have gone and gotten a replacement SIM, but they indicate this is not a long term solution. I have also seen that a hard reset/factory reset is being proposed. However, this seems ridiculous to do to over 40 devises where the obvious cause is the update. Has anyone found the answer to this one?
Many users, including myself are now having outbound text messages fail. We have to resend them over and over to get them to go through. This problem is pretty widespread through the device pool. I am unsure what could be causing this. The messages fail regardless of if the phone is connected to wireless or not.

I have had the same problem with my phone. Called tech support and after they contacted Samsung the solution is a factory reset to fix the problem and they are supposedly working on a fix for it. After doing the reset Friday, I have to restart my phone multiple times during the day to get messages to send. I also notice only 3G where we always had 4G. Called tech support again and was given the option to send phone in to have it repaired or get a refurb under warranty. Not sure what I am going to do yet but I can see it is definitely not just my phone. Of course the techs say they have not heard of this before.
