Alright, so one day my speaker just stopped working, so I thought. For example, if I get a text notification (little beep), and I listen to the back of the phone, I can hear several small ticks (tick tick tick tick tick), that last longer than the actual ringtone that I had set. The phone will do this for any sound I play, and it will always last a few seconds longer than the original sound. I already replaced the speaker and so far, no luck. Also did a wipe and re-installed everything, still the tick tick tick. Anyone else have this interesting problem?
Bump bump, anybody got any ideas?
Hi,
Can you tell a bit more?
What kernel do you use and did you recently installed any audio related app's or mod's?
Example: Tuning system wide audio level

Hi. I have the inspire. Its rooted and has the new 2.3.3 rom. My problem is that when i try to listen to music it skips, changes songs, opens voice dialer and then on one instance it called someone. I reinstalled the rom, restarted the phone, but it still persists. I have an idea it might have something to do with the headphones being inserted. When it was doing this i took out the headphones and plugged them back in and it played music just fine for a few minutes. any ideas?
EDIT
I just noticed right now that the icon changes from headset to headphones. Right now im listening to it and it playing just fine as long as the icon is set to headphone.
Edit 2:
Well i found this "Hey. I'm dealing with an annoying behavior, and I'm not sure if it's by design, or if there's something wrong with my phone.
When I plug in headphones... everything goes wonky. Specifically, the phone seems to take feedback from any pressure (usually accidental) I apply to the headphone cable. If I push it one way, it goes into voice command mode. If I push it another, it redials the last call I made. And other such along these lines. Why is it doing this? Is it by design, or is there something wrong with my device? How do I make it stop? Every time I jostle the phone while trying to listen to music, I have the phone annoying redialing my last call, going to voice mode, or otherwise interrupting what I'm doing.
I got the feeling, from one of the apps I was playing with, that this may be something called "headset commands," but I haven't been able to find anything else about that. "
Its a diffrent phone but same issue. I tried wiggling my headphone jack around a bit and found that the icon changed to headset. So ill leave this thread here for anyone having the same issues, as i couldnt find anything for this issue with the inspire forum.
I had the same problem on CM7, turns out the phone was recognizing my headphones as a bluetooth headset with built in controls, and it was confused thinking it was getting signals to skip around and change songs. I fixed it by installing a widget called Headset Blocker from the Android market, once I enable it everything works well.
Thanks! now my world is ok.
Hi folks. I have a 16GB US GSM Moto G, and yesterday, the character of my device's external speaker changed.
Formerly, to get a good average sound level in apps, the volume needed to be near the high end, I'd say about 60-80% of max. Now, that same volume level corresponds to about 20-40% on the slider. At the same time, I started to get weird sound artefacts in one app (Tiny Death Star). I hear a light popping sound in the speaker about once per second, and every couple of seconds the sound stutters. Not terrible, but enough to be distracting. It doesn't affect all apps, but I haven't tested extensively to see if it's the only app affected.
There are a couple of variables:
1. Yesterday I installed the KitKat OTA update. I'm about 80% sure that the issue didn't start immediately after that, but I can't be positive.
2. I played with a couple of music player apps: WinAmp and PowerAmp. In the latter, I did mess around with some EQ/volume/balance settings, but I left everything where I found it. Once I noticed the new issue, I uninstalled both and rebooted the device, but the problem persists.
I also noticed the "Audio Effects" setting in the Sound settings. Tried turning that off, but it didn't change anything. I also tried wiping the cache partition; no change.
Anyone have any idea what may have caused this (and more importantly, how to fix it)? I could live with the volume range change, but not so much the stutter/pop.
Hello everyone!
I bought my Nexus 5 a few months ago, then everything was working five. But about a month ago I started to experience some problems with the audio on my phone. I couldn't get any sound except for the ring sound and alarm sound. I did some research and found out I should download an app called soundabout. This changed the audio output or something so that I could get the media audio through the speakers and phone call audio through the earpiece. This worked and I thought I've solved all the problems, but unfortunantly when I tried to listen to some music with my headphones I couldn't get any sound. I tried to change the settings in the app, but nothing worked. Either no sound at all or the sound came through the speakers even though the headphone were plugged in. Today i rooted my phone and installed Cyanogenmod with hope that this would solve the problem. It didn't..
I've done alot of research on the internet, but I really couldn't find someone with this exact same problem. Have anyone experienced the same, or have an idea of what I could do? One option is to send it for repair, but that would take some time so I am looking for another option.. Could it be a hardware issue with the headphone jack, even though it worked at first?
Thanks in advance for replying!
Well first try removing the app. If that doesn't work try a factory reset / factory image restore. If that doesn't work, then it's a hardware problem.

I have done that before and the problem occured before I installed the app. So I guess I have to send it in for repair then. Quite strange that a hardware problem could occur so sudden..
It's not strange at all. Audio ports can take a lot of abuse. I thought mine just started to act up recently. In the end it turned out to be a loose jack on the headphones and not the port itself. I called Google to inquire about the issue before I checked the headphones. Here's a copy of what google tech support sent me for troubleshooting before RMAing it:
Thank you for contacting Google.
If you are having any audio, speaker, or microphone issues with your device, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: If your device is rooted or modified, revert your device to original factory image.
- Troubleshooting steps may not work on rooted/modified devices.
- You can re-image your device with the instructions from the following link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Step 2: Check for system updates.
- On your device, go to 'Settings' > Scroll down to 'System' > Touch 'About phone' (or tablet) > Touch 'System updates'.
Step 3: Remove obstructions.
- Remove any cling film, stickers, covers/cases/bumpers, or anything else that can be obstructing the device.
Step 4: Restart the device in safe mode.
- With the device on, hold the 'Power' button to get the 'Power off' prompt.
- Touch and hold 'Power off' until the 'Reboot to safe mode' prompt appears.
- Touch 'OK' to reboot in safe mode.
- Note: To exit safe mode later, simply restart the device normally.
Step 5: While in safe mode, turn off Bluetooth.
- Swipe down from the stop of the screen with two fingers to pull down the quick settings menu.
- Touch 'Bluetooth'.
- In Bluetooth settings, if Bluetooth is on, touch 'On' to switch Bluetooth off.
Step 6: While in safe mode, make sure the volume is on.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers to pull down the quick settings menu.
- Touch 'Settings'.
- Under 'Device', touch 'Sound'.
- Touch 'Volumes'.
- In 'Volumes', slide all three indicators all the way to the right to make sure all sound is on and at max volume.
- When each slider is adjusted, a sound will be heard.
Step 7: Check if the issue is resolved.
- Play with the volume levels to hear sound.
- Make a test phone call.
- Use Google Now to test your microphone.
If the above 7 steps didn't work, a factory data reset may resolve the issue:
Note: Performing factory data reset on your device will remove all of your personal data.
1. Go to 'Settings > Backup & reset'.
2. Touch 'Factory Data Reset'.
3. Touch 'Reset'.
After the factory data reset is complete and your device reboots, sign into your device using the same primary Google Play account you used to sync your purchased apps and other content.
If your issue has been resolved, great! Let us know.
If performing a factory data reset didn't resolve your issue, do one of the following:
- REPLY TO THIS EMAIL
- CALL us and reference this email and mention you have gone through the troubleshooting steps.
Nexus 5 does not respond to headphone
Tried all those options mentioned above, still no luck. Anybody got new news to make headphone work in Nexus 5? In my case headphone works with SOUNDABOUT app, so I don't think its hardware issue? HELP!!1
Thanks in advance
They take 2 min to replace
So u think its a hardware (Head phone jack) issue?
Be sure the headphone jack is completely inserted
I thought my Nexus 5 headphone jack was broken, so I took off the protective case to be sure it was not preventing the head phone jack from being completely inserted. I noticed that it took some extra effort to get the Jack to click. That did the trick and it works great. I felt pretty stupid because it wasn't the case or jack, it was me not pushing it in all the way.

I've set my own notification sound. It usually plays when I get an email or WhatsApp message. Recently I get a short beep instead. I can see that the sound it set properly; both in settings and being picked up correctly by those apps, and my sound plays as I'm setting it so it's available to the system, but it's still playing the beep. I've had this phone a month or so and it's been fine until now. This sort of thing has happened on other phones - just one of those Android things. Usually though it can be cleared up by setting the sound again in settings, or in the apps themselves. But this time it's refusing to play ball! I rebooted my phone. I'm not prepared to factory reset it. Anything else I can try?

Is it all the custom notifications that it's not playing or 1 or 2? I recently made a sound file that wouldn't play as a mp3. I made it into a WAV file and it worked. Not sure if that will help you.

It's just one. It plays fine at the point when i'm setting it as default, but the apps choose to play some other sound. I fixed this problem by going into each app, selecting another sound, save, exit, then setting it back to the sound I wanted. But I shouldn't have to do this (and usually I don't).
