Does anyone else have this problem?
About once a day, if I get a SMS or email and the phone plays the notification sound, the speaker just erupts with distorted white noise. Its extremely loud, and if I am concentrating on something else, it scares the **** out of me!
It only does it once or twice a day... not always and can sometimes go a few days without doing it...

Not really big deals to me but whenever I take a picture with the front camera and I try to send it over mms, the person can't see it. They download it like normal but when viewing the msg, they don't see the picture. I'm pretty sure its because of their phone but I'm curious as to why it wont work.
The other thing is that one time when I was listening to music and I had some JVC Extra Bass headphones plugged in, someone called so I answered by sliding the bar on the screen as usual and when I answered, the music stopped and and the call connected and then right away, the music continued again with the call still connected and the caller could hear the music a little. That only happened once but I haven't tried to repeat it so I don't know how common it is.
If anyone could give me a little insight about it, please do. I'm really curious about these two things.

I'm currently running stock, un-rooted 3.18 from AT&T.
My speakers, both on the back and the earpiece, have extremely low volume. Even at max volume I have difficulty hearing phone calls anywhere that is not very quiet. Also, my ringtone and notifications are very quiet. Again, they're so quiet I generally don't hear them if I'm not in a moderately quiet setting with the phone face down nearby.
I don't seem to recall this being the case when I first got the phone. I also tried a couple different ROMs recently, but none of them seemed to help so I just went back to stock.
On a potentially related note, whenever I'm playing music and get a notification it gets played very softly in the background, and is often inaudible. If I get a call it pauses the music, though.
Any help with either or both of these issues would be greately appreciated.
I can't find anything like this. I wake up this morning to a call and upon hanging up, the hang up sound is a lower tone than normal. I think nothing of it since I'm still out of it. Later, I adjust the phone volume and the beep that it makes is the same lower tone. At this point I try putting on music and it sounds like it went down an octave. I'm kind of freaking out because this is a MAJOR problem for me. It does the same thing when I plug headphones in so it isn't just the speaker. How in the world does this happen and what can I do to fix it? Was there an update this morning that may have done this?
Anyone figure out how to use both speakers for notifications? It's driving me crazy having only 1 speaker play the sound when I receive a text. I don't understand why they play from both speakers when you select a notification sound/ringtone, but it only plays from one speaker when you actually get a text/notification.

Yes, however I am sure root will be required. There is a ring tone from both speakers thread under android development
Not only does it just play from one speaker, it's extremely quiet.
With the volume all the way up, it's probably equal to my M8 being 2 clicks up.
Between the volume and the vibration being weak, I could definitely miss a text/email.
Although I don't mind the vibration, the vibrate on my M8 would scare me at night on my wood night stand. Lol
Tell me about it, my dads M8 is like a banshee. My dad left his M8 in a drawer one floor up, and you could hear the vibration one floor down, though faint at that distance.
For me the Z3 is loud enough, even the vibration though a stark contrast to the M8.
I've found that finding the right ringtones and notifications are the way to go. I have loud tones selected, ie. loud sounding sounds, and they are plenty loud enough. The quality on the other hand would be much better through both speakers.
Im having a problem with my phone playing a dot sound everytime i recieve a text message when my headphones are plugged in. It plays through the headphones, pausing the music shortly, and it is really annoying. I have looked everywhere and i cannot find an option to turn it off. Any help would be great
Anyone? Is it just on my phone this is happening?
