Loss of sound (notifications, phone calls, etc) after 1.3.1

What I did:
I was listening to NFL radio cast hooked up through an iHome with a 3.5mm cable.  I disconnected the cable and then closed the application.  Sound for the Notifications then was controlled solely by the volume for stuff like NFL radio or Pandora; the side buttons or the slider bar in the settings did nothing. 
I then noticed my "swissh" when I throw away cards disappeared and I could not hear anyone through my ear piece when they called, nor could they hear me speaking.  However, if I had the call on bluetooth or speakerphone, it worked correctly.  Basically, my sound was all sorts of messed up.
To rectify the problem: I plugged in a 3.5mm headphone jack into the top and opened up pandora.  The sound played through the car stereo and the "swissh" came back.  I then shut down the phone, unplugged the cable, and turned the phone back on.
Now the sound works in my ear piece, the person on the other end can hear me, the "swissh" is back, and the speaker for Pandora works.  However, the volume bar for the notifications still does nothing to alter the volume.
Any ideas whats going on?  I listen to Pandora on a daily basis, and if I have to restart my phone after every time I unplug the headphones...
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

This has been attributed by most people to be a hardware issue that affects many types of phone.  The issue seems to be with the auto-sensing in the headphone jack.  Sometimes it still thinks there is something plugged in when there is not.  I have seen many "fixes" posted for this issue such as: plugging and unplugging headphones repeatedly until it turns off, putting in a q-tip to clean it out, using compressed air to blow it out, some type of oil (can't remember what), or taking it to Sprint and having one of their technicians do their thing.  From what I have seent this is not Palm's fault (unless they bought a cheap sensor that others are using as well) but is irritating nonetheless and it would be nice to see Palm either do something about it or acknowledge the issue and tell people what to do.

  • HP Pre 3 shutting off while making a phone call, even after doctoring.

    When I make a phone call and get the phone to my ear instantly (so sensor shuts off the screen) 1 in 8 phone calls my phone would just cut off and shut off. Then I have to hold the power button and switch the mute three times to bring it back to life.
    If I make a phone call and let the phone stand in my hand for like 5 seconds before i bring it to my ear it will work just fine.
    I also noticed that screen doesn't instantly turns on after I get it away from my ear, sometimes it dimms up really slowly. These occasions are rare but they are still there.
    Finally I doctored it (mainly because Skype started to sign me out after 15-20 minutes while on WiFi) and problem is still there.
    This problem occured first like few weeks after I got the phone (which is like four months ago) and its been there ever since.

    I'm not sure what all that means, or what the marks of a good, planned restart are, but it's a place to begin. Now all I have to do is wait for an unscheduled restart. Hmm, maybe I ought to trigger a luna restart, and see what that looks like in messages, as I don't know whether the unplanned stuff is a full or luna restart.

  • I cannot recieve phone calls, SMS after 3.0 and credit is being eaten

    On wednesday, like most iPhone users, i was waiting for 3.0, finally when it came i downloaded and everything seemed fine. But since then, i cannot recieve phone calls, nut sometimes i get the odd random phone call, SMS are extremely delayed or they dont even come at all. I've been looking at other forums for help. I have changed settings numerous times and i can recieve calls and SMS but i keep getting this message saying that i need 17p for internet roaming. I have never had this before. Long story short, got my iPhone for christmas, i used my old sim, mum used the other sim. Can anyone help me please?

    yes. I've tried to reset and reboot 4 times since updating. Although, i've just posted in another thread a bit more relevant and it mentioned Push causing problems. Although mine was on (and always is) but is set to manual, (so you'd think it was like having it switched off). Anyway, i've switched Push to OFF (Settings> Mail, Contacts Calendar > Fetch New Data) and it seems to have solved it for now. How odd. The thread i mean is here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9661558#9661558

  • BIg Problem - loss of sound, unable to reload drivers after reboot. Now what? HELP PLEASE!!!

    HI,
    Have been working on getting this resolved for the past 6-7 hours reading and trying different things to no avail.  I have a Toshiba m305 s4829 from Best Buy thats only a few months old.  It apparently has a conextant audio driver ('smart audio 221' according to devices), which isn't showing up (there is a red "x" over the speaker). When I scroll the mouse over that icon it says "No Audio Output Device Is Enabled".  And when I go check out the Device Manager there is a hazard symbol under "SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLERS". 
    Don't know if this is a registry issue, a BIOS issue, a Vista 64 issue, a problem with me downloading the wrong driver, or somehow screwing up the process of unpacking and installing it.  Or if there is even some possible conflict that occured elsewhere.  
    for more info on any of those ideas:
    -registry / bios - I don't want to mess with these unless I absolutely have to.  I do have CC cleaner, superantispyware, and Avira antivirus installed and no viruses or spyware currently.
    -wrong driver possibility - the first driver I tried was from the Toshiba "downloads" section for my model- its the second one down just issued on 12-02-08 ( http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2060017&rpn=PSMDYU&modelFilter=M305D-S4829&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663&selModel=2060017|PSMDYU)
    So that didn't work and I kept reading around and saw this (see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=37703&tstart=0); whichpointed me towards trying this driver (http://www.mediafire.com/?mymmj2bkjfc) which didn't work either. 
    -in terms of how I installed it, I tried different ways.  Read that if you simply uninstalled the driver and rebooted then it should automatically reinstall.  Not for me.  So I tried unistalling the old driver, rebooting, unpacking & installing the new driver & rebooting again.  Nothing.    I also tried installing it directly over the old driver that shows up, nothing.  
    -potential conflict?? I do have a lot of music programs on here both recording (cubase, audacity) archiving/ playing (Media Monkey, Itunes), and composing (sibellius 5).  It was originally in audacity that I found out I couldn't play my freshly recorded song back. 
    Getting frustrated, especially on a new system like this!!! Please help, would like to get this solved without having to reformat as I have put a lot of time/ energy into getting all the programs on there and working properly (which they did up until now).  I'm not sure about the recovery disks that came with and whether they would help, my understanding is that the latest drivers **SHOULD** be on toshibas website so recovery disks wouldn't be needed.  
    ***A few other tidbits that may help you help me:
    - in addition to no audio driver showing up in device manager, there is also a hazard sign showing that my imaging device driver for the computers camera has dissapeared;(Chicony USB 2.0 camera).  What was I doing on this computer when it happened?  Well, nothing - restarting it.   An hour previous to that I was able to record a short rehearsal (hourish) on audicity (though audacity crashed and I had to uthe audacity reovery tool to get it back).   I've never really used the camera, but ealier in the day my wife used it to try and take a picture for her facebook profile (which I don't think she was successful at).  
    Thanks for any ideas / advice!!

    1.  We have had on several occurrences a situation where we (people in the office using the 941 phones) can hear the caller (or person we call outgoing), but they are unable to hear any sound from us.  Rebooting the SPA400 has seemed to solve the problem.  The problem has happened at least 5 times today, each time requiring a reset of the SPA400 before the external side of the party is able to hear us.
    ---try setting VAD to ON , set preffered coder to g711u on the spa400, don't forget the magic power cycle after saving settings.

  • Periodic loss of sound on incoming calls - Please HELP!

    I got a 3GS and it's started to not ring when I get incoming calls.
    Sound in general works fine and it's not everytime the calls don't make a sound when I get them.
    It's not on mute nor is the volume down, I've checked it every time I noticed I missed a call even when the phone was just on a table in the next room.
    I tried a soft reboot (holding down sleep + home button till it restarted), that didn't work and I've tried putting in the headphones a few times in case it was something with the jack.
    The phone is updated to the lastest update and this started even before I updated it.
    Is there anything else I can try? Or does it need to be repaired?

    Try sliding the button that is above the volume up and down buttons to see if you have it muted.

  • UC320 - Phone Calls Drop After Transferred

    Good morning all -
    I have my UC320 setup for a small law firm.  I have all calls in normal business hours transfer to an automatic call service (help desk/reception).  Once they receive the call they then forward it to the attorney in which they want to speak to.  Once the call is forwarded, after approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds the call drops.   Does anyone know what this can be caused by?
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    I personally make calls longer than 60 min, with CCME to some South American friends (trying to keep it vague to not release any personal info :)
    Anyway, if you use ISDN, it is easy to see which side is dropping the call. Enter "debug isdn q931" and "term mon". This is relatively low output and can be left on for days. You can also log to router memory or syslog server.
    If you don't have isdn you can still see many things with "debug vpm signal". It is a little more verbose but still not overwhelming.
    Hope this helps, if so please rate post!

  • Sound during phone calls very soft, can't increase volume further. Help!

    Within the past few days I've noticed that I can barely hear someone when I speak on the phone (without the earphone/mic). Speaker function works, but I don't want to use it all the time. The volume is turned up as far as it can go. Anyone else have this problem. When I do try using the earphones/mic, it works fine.

    Have you tried to reboot the iPhone. That is done by holding down the home button and the power off/on button until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slide to power off screen. Also, no insult intended, I have found that if I don't hold the iPhone to my ear just the right way, I have a difficult time hearing it. It might just be readjusted the position of the phone to you ear. However, if a reboot or repositioning don't work, the last user troubleshooting is a restore, first from a backup and if no help, then as a new phone or not from a backup. You will need to ensure you have everything set in supported applications before you do the restore as a new phone so you can sync all of your content back.

  • Wont wake up after a phone call.

    Per settings, my phone will auto lock every 5 minutes and will require a pass code after 15 minutes to log on back. When the phone is locked and if a receive a phone call and after I disconnect the call, the phone does not wakes up for sometime. "Slide to unlock" will look like frozen. But after a minute or two, it comes back normal.
    I tried restoring to factory defaults as well...but no luck. Any clue? Does anyone else have this problem?

    Could this be the same case as your?:

    My "+" button on the side of my phone is broken and I cannot turn up the volume during a phone call. Is there any other way to control the volume during phone calls?

    After trying everything I gave up.
    But just 5 minutes ago... I dropped by phone on the floor, not from high, just sitting on my chair at my pc desk...
    And someone just called and i can hear them!!!
    So...
    for me, i guess it was really a piece inside that wasn't making a good connection and well...
    I accidentally fixed it...
    But I wouldn't reccomend you to drop it on purpose.
    But maybe go to your nearest apple store, ask them to open it and see if everythin is in place inside?
