I bought two Charges last week, one for me and one for the wife. Both of us have been having similar issues with music and/or ringtones randomly not playing on our phones. My wife has missed several calls because the ringtone that she downloaded from Zedge mysteriously stopped working, so the phone acted as if it were on silent mode. I noticed several instances where I can't listen to music on my phone due to a "Error playing the requested track" error within the Google Music app. At first, I thought my problem was due to the fact that I was trying to stream music that I've uploaded, but I was given the same error when I attempted to listen to music stored directly on the SD card.
Thinking that my problem was due to some weird issue with the Google Music app, I tried to play the music on my SD card from the built-in Music Player app and I was quickly prompted with an unsupported file type error. Rebooting both our phones seems to fix the problem, but I've had to do this at least two to three times on my phone, and once on my wife's. It seems that the problem always comes creeping back without warning.
Neither of our phones are rooted, and nothing else has been done to the phone that I can think of that would cause this issue.
In short, music/ringtones/etc. will randomly stop playing regardless of their source (SD card, downloaded, stream). Since the problem is on both of our phones, I'm guessing that this is a common issue on all Droid Charges.
Has anybody else experienced this issue? What are your recommendations on fixing it? Should I just take the phones back to Best Buy and get replacements?
=Edit=
Okay...something is definitely up. I just went to watch a video on the YouTube app, and saw no video. I tried other videos and got the same result. Sure enough, I tried to listen to some music and was given the above mentioned error. What the hell?
I would take them back to Best Buy. Ive never heard of this problem. And if youtube is not playing then there seems to be and underlying problem.
I was having this same problem every so often, typically after having the phone on for a few days without turning it off. I am rooted an running a custom ROM so I thought it might have something to do with that, but obviously that is not the case. I turn my phone off whenever I charge it at night and have not had the problem since doing that. Long story short, I would return the phone if you can, but just turning the phone off and then back on (not rebooting) has fixed the problem for me every time.
Try uninstalling the official twitter app if you have it, reboot, and try again. That usually solves that.

Okay, this problem has been bugging me for a while. The ringtones that came with my SGS4G play when I select them, but my others (ringtones, mp3's, stuff created in RingDroid) will not play. This also affects music playback. I get an error that the file is corrupted.
Now the interesting part: if I reset my phone, I can play the sounds again, no problem. After a few days though, it starts happening again. As for the Youtube videos, they play fine, then after a couple of days they stop playing. If I reset the phone, they play again.
My phone is rooted.
Firmware: 2.2.1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Stock Froyo Build
I have CacheMate and Super Manager cleaning out my caches whenever they can.
I checked all possible sound stuff (Airplane Mode, no ringtones on silent, etc..) and still have the problem.
This problem started before I ever rooted my phone. Any help you guys could give would be appreciated. Thanks.
You said it is affecting music playback as well have you tried a different SD card? I had one go bad on me and I was having similar issues before it completely died. The Youtube videos however are playing from the internet right?

This is intriguing.... you can either:
1) Since your rooted, you can get CWM and install a custom rom. Might fix your problem since it's most likely a software problem i think.
2) Since your still stock and just rooted, and also it started before you were rooted, try sending it in to tmobile.
I suggest try #2 first and if they don't do anything about, try #1.

Thanks guys. I'll try something and post back.
I just received a replacement GSIII from Asurion. After rooting & restoring from my SD card, I booted and all seemed fine.
However, there is no sound from any app, with or without headphones plugged in. Also, to note, when I try to play music from Google Play Music, I get the error "Unfortunately, DPS Manager has stopped", and behind that Play Music says, "Couldn't play the stream you requested".
Ideas? Thanks in advance...
I figured it out. I'll post it here just in case anyone comes across this random oddity in the future.
I connected the device to my Chromecast and disconnected it. Then everything worked.
When I restored my backup it must have somehow thought that it was supposed to play audio to the Chromecast, but wasn't hooked up to it, so it through an error. Or something like that.
Either way, problem solved.
Well unfortunately I have to revive this thread. The issue is indeed NOT solved.
The sound went out again. After a few hours of trying everything I could think of, I re-flashed back to stock. Sound worked again.
Now I've re-rooted and re-flashed CM 10.2 and sound is gone again. I re-flashed about 3 times now and one time sound worked, but the other two it did not work.
What one earth could possibly be causing this? I verified all MD5 sums before flashing. I've don't too many factory resets/cache wipes/dalvik cache wipes to count, yet still the issues persist.
Please, does anyone have any ideas?
What's up guys?
I have an intermittent audio problem with my Z3. It happened once or twice before but didn't really pay attention to it and it's happening more often now.
Today, as I was browsing through my FB, I came upon a posted video, clicked it to watch but no audio....went to YouTube, clicked on a random video...no audio.
Rebooted the phone, as it finished starting up, the flash message "headphones disconnected" popped up.....I wasn't using any headphones...don't really use them. I went to FB/Youtube again and clicked on a video, audio is present.
A few hours later, on my phone again, browsing FB, clicked on a video, again, no audio. I didn't reboot that time. Instead, I got my earphones, hooked them up on the Z3, of course audio is present.
So it seems like head phone port is sensing a headphone/earphone is connected when there is not.
My Z3 has never been in contact with water, let alone submerged.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

I wouldn't trust any facebook videos, they are complete hit and miss if they work on phones or computers
Hi all,
First excuse me if this is not the good forum for this thread, I'm new to this website.
I have a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
It doesn't play any video or music. Not only in a specific app but in every app I tried.
I tried the youtube app, the stock music app, shuttle music player which I usually use, but it also doesn't work when I go to youtube, dailymotion or any video site with the chrome browser. Videos in my facebook news feed won't play too.
When I try to watch a video or listen to music or simply launch an app like youtube for example, the phone becomes so slow that I must close the app. If I manage to click on a video, it just won't start. Generaly the app crash or the phone shut down or restart.
With the vlc app I can see the video but there is no sound.
It really starts to piss me off, I don't understand what's the problem.
Maybe it a software problem, I thought I could do a hard reset.
But it could also be a hardware problem, specifically something in relation with the speaker or the sound system, because yesterday my phone made strange noises and three days ago it fell on the ground.
Any help is welcome. Thank you for everything in advance.
Hi!
The easiest way to solve the following:
1. hard reset.
2. It did not help, then reflash the firmware on the stock, or better service firmware.
3. It did not help, then contact the service, as it is likely unfortunately hard problem.
Sorry for my english, good luck!
Hello, thanks for your help.
I reset the phone and the problem is still here.
But I noticed something interesting.
When I reboot the phone, it works for a while before the problem come back.
But maybe it's just a coincidence, because this morning the speaker made strange noises right before the problem came back. So I'm more and more covinced that it's a hardware issue.
So I think i will take the phone to a repair storé if thé problem doesn't go away by itself.
It's my pleasure.
But if you reflash the device previously, you would advise to try to flash ... Although, if you can carry in service, it is better there.
Went to a gig last night, tried to record some of the songs, got back today and none of them have any sound at all on the videos, anyone have any ideas why this could be
Did you play the videos on the phone or on a PC ?
I sometimes get a very low sound level on the PC while the sound is normal on the phone, depending on the phone used to capture the video and the software to play it back.
There have been a couple of reports of the same problem on a German Android forum. They said the for the last few weeks theyve been having trouble with recordings of all sorts, while speaking on the phone still works. After a restart it's all back to normal for some time but then the problem returns at some point. Sounds to me as if either an app or system update contains a bug of some sort...
have the same problem for about 3 weeks.
even with the C72 now no improvement.
very annoying the whole
In there forum I mentioned someone said according to Oppo Google Assistant is the culprit, it somehow blocks the microphone which is also why the OK Google command still works while sound recording does not. Try deleting the Google App's data and cache and then it should be gone. Should it be back after a while then the app will probably have to be fixed by Google, only way around this in this case probably is deactivating the assistant until the issue's been fixed.
