Hello..newb at android but all of a sudden one day the following sounds stopped working:
Lock/unlock
Camera
Button press
I did attempt to trouble shoot by looking in the "UI" folder and see all the sound
files are there currently and made sure all the regular settings were enabled too.
Any ideas? Thx in advance...
reboot maybe also check if your media volume is turned up through settings>sound>volume.
I've battery pulled and all that..no luck

Think I will figure out how to factory reset and restore
to back up if it will work.
Proper steps:
-enter recovery via CWM
-factory reset
-the re-enter CWM
-and restore to back up I created???
Have you checked to make sure you have it turned on in Settings/Sounds, down at the bottom Screen lock sounds.
Yeah, still won't work.

Hi all,
I've been a member for a while, but this is my first post in a while.
I recently changed my Motorola Atrix to a Samsung Skyrocket. I love the phone, however I am having a little problem. The Skyrocket will not make noise or vibrate for notifications (such as text, or email, facebook, twitter, etc) but will play ringtone for phonecalls. When I restart the phone, it will work maybe for a day, but after that, it stops working again. Sometimes after receiving a call the notifications will start working again. I've checked the volume settings, and the notifications and ringtone settings, and everything like that... it's all normal. Any suggestions? I've been searching in the forums, and other sites as well, but dont seem to find anything.
The phone is rooted, but that's about it, stock rom. I also did a master reset on the phone as well.
I was using go sms but deleted it and the notifications still go silent.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
Hopefully someone here can help ya. I still have not found a solution
Ome thing I never really thought of was trying an Odin restore back to stock...a full clean slate. If that doesn't fix it then definitely a defective phone

That's what I did this morning. So far it's working perfectly, hopefully it will keep working.
Thanks for the reply!
I installed Go SMS again and seems to be working. What I did notice this time around, is that when I was setting up the notifications for the Facebook app, I noticed the option to choose from the Android System ringtones or from Go SMS. Maybe I had it set up to choose ringtones from Go SMS. Seems to be working fine now.
The notification volume and incoming call volume are seperated. The notification sometimes changes somehow idk how. If you want the incoming and notification to be the same download MySettings. The open the app up and click and hold the ringer icon then itll come up with volume settings. Check the box that says use incoming and notification sound together

Is there any way to turn up the volume for the lock screen unlock sound and the selection sound? Everything else on the phone is plenty loud like ringtone, notification tone, call volume, media, etc.... But I can barely hear the screen lock/unlock sound and the selection sound. Also it seems like the haptic feedback is BARELY there. It's so subtle that it may as well NOT be there.

Not a clue on firmware and I just got the phone last week and I have factory reset it twice to no avail.
Which is the firmware?

If you do not have the Android SDK installed on your computer you need to install it. Then go to the Windows Start menu and select computer. Then open the Android SDK folder then open the tools folder. When in the tools folder hold shift and right click anywhere it is open space in the window. Select open command window here. When the window opens up connect your device via USB cable (make sure you have USB debugging checked in development in Settings) and then type the following into the command window:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
You will be looking for version-main the number beside it is your firmware version.
(Or)
On your device, press < Home >
Select < System Settings >
Select < About phone >
Look for ‘Android version’ or ‘Firmware version’ to see the exact version your device is running...

Android Version is 2.3.6 I figured out the sound issue. It was some setting that was restoring from an old phone when I would factory reset. But the haptic feedback is still barely there. It's so little, it might as well not be. The vibrate function works fine which I believe is off the same motor?

The haptic feedback on 2.3.6 is much lighter than that of 2.3.5, so that's normal. There's a thread for restoring the haptic feedback of 2.3.5 here (somewhere), I'll see if I can find it...

hey all
I just got my new Note 10.1 from amazon few hrs ago (thanks for the awesome forum which convinced me to buy this).
The problem is that, I cant get any sounds when I play the demo video, or you tube or pandora etc. I get notification sounds though which I get email. I did factory rest once and still the problem exist. i made sure the volume is at high in all sound settings.
Hope to get feedback,help soon.
Device info:
Model number GT N8013
android 4.04
kernel version 3.0.15 - 1081475
Thanks
Cheers

problem solved(hopefully)
I did factory reset again and its working.. all izz welll now.. but just wondering what caused the problem earlier..
last reset to this reset every variable (apps, settings) was same. so is this a big problem?
Cheers
Thanks

You probably had a mute setting that hung itself, rebooting the device likely cleared that. The good thing is that you have it back in pristine condition.

Nope. I did factory reset again and its working. I think some app is causing it.

In that case, be careful what you install. Re-Install your stuff from play store in batches and then leave it a couple of days. If it doesn't mute then put the next batch. PITA but may help you to identify which one it is.
next time it happens why dont you go into apps and force close each one and clear data one at a time to see if the sound comes back, you may find out which one it is this way. I'd also mute / unmute inbetween each app closure. - logical process of elimination is the way forward.
No sound in movies, media with galaxy note 10.1
I got sounds from notifications , ringing, but no media sounds.. tried to factory reset my note.. but the problem is still there.. dunno what to do?
Hi all,
Since installing CM7 (20130201) and Mazout's 2.6.32.60 kernel, my phone's home and search buttons are no longer functioning. Any ideas how to fix it? These are important functions.
It also doesn't go to sleep anymore, even when I push the power button.
Sounds like some gremlin mischief. Have you tried using the nullifier to wipe?
Edit: here's the link

Thanks TwitchyEye. That worked, for a while, but the issues are back now. And randomly, the menu/home/back/search icons light up when the phone's otherwise asleep.

Those are your lights acting as a notification. You can turn it off in cyanogenmod settings.

Where might I find that in the settings? I went through and couldn't find it.

Settings => CyanogenMod settings => Interface => LED notifications. I select unconfigured then, edit category settings, LED mode, and force LED off. I suppose if you wanted to you could set individual settings for applications. There's also a few apps in the play store that take care of it too.
I've downloaded Pentastic to try and sort it but it hasn't helped.
The first time I remove the Spen... nothing, but back in or out again and it works fine, and plays the selected sound.
Could there be a power saving setting switching it off when it's not been used?
I tested it on mine and it works fine. Are you using a custom sound?
Yes, light sabre (used it on many Notes now) but if I switch back to normal it's still the same problem.
Ok. I just did it on mine and it worked. Here are the two sound files I used (zipped up).
fx4.mp3 is the light saber on
fx5.mp3 is the light saber off.
Try them and see if they work. They worked for me. I put them in the ringtones folder on my phone.
Thanks for that but it's just the same as the others I have tried - the first pen removal no sound, after that works fine? If I switch the phone off it goes back to same issue on first removal!
just check, sound on removal is different to reinsertion, go to volume and adjust system volume to high (just to test), then remove spen while holding phone to ear, I then hear a (shlooop type sound) when I reinsert its a click type sound, maybe its that.
I have to restart the phone to test as after the first fail it works fine... odd!
Anyway, still no sound at all but then works fine after that first fail, unless I restart the phone
Bump... nobody got any thoughts on this? It's so annoying!
Any power saving thoughts I could try?

This may sound stupid, do you have Do Not Disturb turned on? l. It is possible that a third party app is interfering. My power settings are set to high performance. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce your problem.
I only have it on from 11.30pm until 8.00am but thanks for the thought.
How could I check the 3rd party App suggestion?

Any third party apps that have access or possible access to the speakers. It's a shot in the dark.
The last resort is a factory reset. I'm not sure it's worth the PIA though.

Yeah. It's sounding more and more like a factory reset is in order. :/
But as a wise man said, is it worth all that hassle?
Maybe. There may be other issues as well that you haven't encountered yet.
I guess if I knew 100% that it would fix it I would, but I'd hate to go through all the set up again for nothing
Yeah. I'm not envying you.
