Z10 speaker issue

I'd anyone have issue with a crackling sound when you are on the phone? I can usually hear the crackling sound when the other speaks. Sounds like the speaker is "Blown" after listening to music too loud. I'm thinking about taking it back to best buy to see if they will exchange it.

Hello femjock7,
Does the same issue occur if the volume is at not on full? Do you have access to another BlackBerry Z10 smartphone you can compare it with?

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...

Solution Z10 Speaker problem

I had ordered new bb z10 and found faulty... speaker of the handset is not fuctioning... kindly advice the plan of action.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If it were me, I'd be seeking warranty support from the seller. I'd not expect a new (as you say) device to have such a problem.
Good luck!

Z10 encoding issue in outgoing email

Hoping someone can help me. I've been an avid bb fan for years and my husband and I both handed in our bonds a week ago to move to the z10. We are both loving it. While my husband has had no issues with his I am very close to having no issues - except for one major one that affects me and my clients greatly. I have 2 email accounts - gmail (working without any issue at all - was up and running within a matter of minutes of receiving my z10). The other however has not been a fun or even manageable experience. My work email is web based and took a few days for me to even get it up and running. With my bold I was able to connect via Exchange but am no longer able to do so. I was told to connect via Active sync however my employer does not have this functionality and it is not supported. Following that I was told to connect using either IMAP or POP. And while I have been finally able to connect and receive my email when I SEND email it is a disaster!!!!! My out going mail seems to be adding in all of the encoding and so it becomes "unreadable" for lack of a better term. I have no idea where to turn on this. I have been constantly surfing and searching and and all forums that I can in hopes to find a resolution but have not yet found one - this is my last resort - otherwise sadly ....... Very, very sadly I will have to return my phone. Any suggestions at all would be much appreciated! Sorry for the "long-winded ness"

Wow lesedwards.. you are on fire. Jacking your issue into every email thread and getting **bleep**ed constantly.
This thread was about an encoding issue, and from your other posts you are simply having connection issues.
@Sarealex - I haven't seen this issue with any of my email accounts over IMAP, what software version are you currently using?

Internal/external speaker issues

I have a MacPro that is just a few months old.
Some video wants to play only through the Mac's internal speaker. As I type this I have the iPod special event from the 5th playing and it is coming through the internal speaker.
Meanwhile if I try to adjust the volume with the keyboard or Finder interface the system sound that acknowledges the adjustment plays through the external speakers as well as other system sounds. iTunes will still play MP3s/etc and most videos through the external speakers. Usually just some lower quality video will play sound only through the internal speakers.
I have run all the current Quicktime/MacOS updates. Any ideas?

Tim,
I came across this article yesterday:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
Your comment about quality reminded me of it.
I've had similar audio randomness, but seems to have subsided. No clue why. I've got serious kernel panic issues seperate from the audio thing, so I am following many rabbit trials in search of an answer.
Hope this is not redundant for you and is of use.

Plastic Z10 Screen Issue Report

When I took the plastic off of the screen on my Z10 there became a noticeable adhesive thin film that made the screen look as if there were areas of bubbles under the screen.
It became noticeable once you had finger prints. Brought to a mobile store and the guy there sprayed a solution to clean it. But soon as I used it again those bubble like marks reappeared under light.
How I removed that thin film of adhesive coating was that I took a Lenspen that is used for cleaning my DSLR lens it uses graphite and it removed all that glue like film.
This is obviously a packaging issue. Where the plastic protective covering the screen should not leave such a film. Hope this helps somebody out there.
Oh for those who want to really clean their Z10 camera lens get yourself the Lenspen kit that comes with a smaller Lenspen works great. Hope this serves you well.

Z10 browser issue

Hello all,
Big issue for the last 4 days.
I am on BB10, Z10, Model STL100-1, 10.2.1.2977, OS- 10.2.1.3247
My personal space browser suddenly stopped working. checked online, many have faced this issue and solutions involve deleting history etc but all that is not an option in my case since i am unable to access the menu items , the 3 dots don't work. neither does typing any url or the new page button etc. its completely frozen.
while one browser doesn't work , even if i use another app to open a link in the browser, the work browser on work space works perfectly fine.
After much reading and doing both soft and hard resets - restarts and taking battery out etc i decided to replace the existing sys.browser file (blackberry's file for the browser) as there is no other way to reset the data/cache in the browser. so,
1) i replaced the sys.browser file (original - came with the last and latest software update 10.2.1.3247) with a 10.3 browser from the crackberry forums. the work browser was also replaced understandably which confirms that the browser file is the same for both instances albeit with different settings/bookmarks etc . so this file also doesn't work in the personal space . still frozen, but when i open a link using a third party app then the browser starts working while that link is open. as soon as this instance is closed, the browser goes back to its frozen state.
2) i search further and found a stable , recommended 10.2.2 browser. same issue as above with that too.
3) downloaded a 10.1.0 version browser too, didn't work at all, just a black screen. i tried then both internal phone updates and blackberry link to update the phone - well hoping that while the phone os hasn't changed but since i had downgraded its browser i wondered if it would update the browser to an original one , fresh and all.
4) sadly nothing works, the interesting part being while the version and file size of the actual sys.browser bar file changed, the cache size remained the same.
5) i have for the meantime again installed the frozen 10.3.0 browser as stated in (1) ; while it is frozen it does atleast one thing better than others, without harming the work browser.
6) i am a little concerned and apprehensive of having bar files on a personal device from total strangers especially with all security issues and hackers at large.
So i am looking for either a solution to the above problem with a stable browser for 10.2.1.3247 . i do not want to do a full reload of the software since that is a waste of time - considering the setup of all apps and other settings. don't want to go for that route. I also cannot wait until 10.3.1 whenever that is released officially since that could take months form now.
Please help .
Note: for the above a chrome extension which lets sideload .bar files or .apk files was used. its highly recommended and pretty neat and stable for such tasks.
All other apps work, so does everything on the work space including browser enterprise IM and emails.

I really tried to find info for your issue but could not, sorry.

Texts out of order; phone overheating; speaker issues

Hi, I am having four problems with my Galaxy S5 and wondered if anyone knew a solution: (1) My text messages come out of order. This has happened since I got the phone, which is on network time. (2) My text messages are delayed - both sending and receiving. They get to others late and they come to me late. (3) My phone frequently gets extremely hot and the battery drains rapidly. From 95% to 15% in an hour or two. (4) When I am talking on the phone, the phone randomly switches to speakerphone so the person I am talking to comes out of the speaker. The speaker button, however, is not activated. Many thanks for any help!

Hi there! @BlueSkies84 thanks for posting your concerns. I’m sorry to hear about all the problems with your phone.
Since we are looking at multiple issues that cannot be controlled via the phone settings, I’d recommend you back your phone up and perform a factory reset. For steps on this please visit us at www.att.com/devicehowto/ and select the make and model of your phone. On the left column you’ll find steps to back up the phone under backup and restore and reset steps under troubleshooting and reset device.
Hope this helps!

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,
