I have an odd question. I currently have an NFC tag installed in my ibolt cradle in the car, set up to turn on GPS, turn off wi-fi, and enable bluetooth. Now, my phone rests on the tag itself when placed in the cradle. Every once in a while, not certain why, I hear the NFC bleep sound, which overrides my music playing thru the speakers, shutting the music off for a second. Is it not a good idea to have the phone resting on the tag itself?
Thanks, in advance.
Are you working with a custom rom or the stock rom? If stock, do you have the latest OTA release?
Also, if you have access to a second cradle, I'd test your phone on that one to see if you get the same result.

Stock rom.
This is an issue with the NFC tag, not the cradle. It's an NFC sticker I installed later.
Since we are talking about centimeters worth of range for the tag to be read - think the bumps in the road are causing your ghost reads?

Ya, it could be. Moving the NFC tag worked.

Has anyone found that their headphone adapter has stopped working for some reason?
Was working fine, and now seems that the phone no longer recognizes the adapter. Power passes through just fine - however, can't get audio out.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions? I don't have a spare adapter to test.
Thanks,
Chip
I'm afraid that is the test. Either use your headset on a different phone, or a different headset on your phone.
You should be able to test a headset at your local phone retailler (just tell them you want to check it works before you buy it)
I'm having the same problem, just not at your stage yet.
I have audio but it's obvious there are some connections that aren't quite lining up since I get mono out of both speakers now instead of stereo and moving the connector at all gives me the typical "short out" garble you hear when you've disrupted a short in an audio cable.
The only time anything is plugged into my phone is when it's laying flat on a desk (I even make sure the wire comes out straight with NO pressure on it at all). I've never forced the cable, had it in my pocket where it could have put pressure on the connection, or anything else that might have caused the problem...
I think it's just wear. I can still charge the phone just fine, it's just audio that is screwed up now. I'm just waiting for the day when I don't hear anything...
...and I'll probably never buy HTC again... since this happened with my Star Trek too.

So I went to the AT&T store - a headset worked fine.
I went out and bought a new headphone adapter - same thing, doesn't get recognized by the Phone, so still SOL.
Question - any idea of this could be software related? I had installed skype (uninstalled to see if this was the cause) and wondering if that did something to the headset settings.
Any value in reimaging with a new ROM to see if this fixes it before calling AT&T warranty?
Thanks,

If you have flashed cooked ROMs then you will have to flash back to stock for warranty reutrn anyway, so this could likely be your issue.
If you're on the stock ROM, then I would suspect hardware.

Thanks Bruce - about to call AT&T warranty to get relief (within 1 year).
I just recently popped my phone's cherry and unlocked the bootloader so that I could get Froyo on my AT&T Nexus One. Before the update I had setup my phone to plug into a car dock with a headphone out to auxiliary jack to my car speakers.
The volume was consistently good to my car stereo when unplugged from the dock and when plugged in before the update. Now, immediately after I plug in my phone to the dock with the headphone jack pushing media audio my volume is reduced by 10-20%. I have disabled the dock managing my media audio, put everything to max volume on phone, and it still reduces the audio as soon as I plug it into the dock.
Does anyone else have a similar setup? I realize mine may be unique and I'm on my own. Are there any deeper phone settings to check beyond the standard volume controls?
Yeah I have the same problem. And my phone doesn't pick up my voice with voice commands and auto brightness doesn't work with the phone in the dock. Makes me wanna go back to Eclair...
Still have not resolved this by any means available. Maybe the official ROM will fix this issue. Also my paid apps still have not shown up and I am noticing that when I pick up inbound calls people cannot hear me for a few seconds.
I was hoping by this point in June that the official Froyo for N1 would have been released and there would be a ROM floating around but no such luck!
I've had a similar problem when my phone is docked with the car dock. In-call volume is extremely low, but other types of media are fine (i.e. music, navi, etc). My volume settings are maxed out too. I hope the official Froyo release fixes this problem. I use my car dock on a daily basis.
Looks like frf83 did not fix it. Car dock is useless for me. Seeing comments frome google that indicate they optimized for the cheesy built in speakers and hosed using the headphone jack while docked.
Pandora during the commute keeps me sane, and this ruins it. No froyo for me until this is fixed.
What I've discovered is when I car dock the phone media volume gets set to 12 out of 15 on the headphone jack. The volume setting GUI doesn't show that the volume has changed. Changing the media volume in settings doesn't affect the volume until I undock the phone.
Unfortunately for me that's too much output for my car stereo and music gets pretty distorted.
I downgraded to OTA ERD79 and the volume would remain the same when docked. I upgraded to the latest OTA and the max volume setting returned.
Having the same problem. At least I found this problem is due to Froyo, not my car dock.
Still, wished the USB port is still open while docked so I can bypass the Car Dock's circuits and just use it as a holder only.
Haven't rooted my phone yet, but if the devs can fix the issue on a custom ROM, I will root.
i used to have this set up where my phone was hardwired to the radio and after froyo i have noticed this problem too. I have now gone back to using a bluetooth connection (kensington liquidaux) and it seems to not have the problem.
for those following the other thread regarding the degradation of quality not just the low volume (double sucky). the bluetooth connection seems to not suffer the same fate.

You're referring using Bluetooth vs AUX for the dock and car to communicate? I'm guessing most of us don't have that option on our cars.
Check out the Kensington Liquidaux. It is an aftermarket Bluetooth solution that lets you use any AUX connection.

Seems like an overkill for $80, especially when I don't need any part of the mount.

The one I got was $29. (Edit: I looked all over and can't find it at this price anymore...shoulda bought two!) It just included the cigarette lighter part and a steering wheel remote.

I have been waiting for a solution and still have not found one. I installed the latest Cynogen V6.0.0-RC1 and when reconfiguring for my dock I got full sound! I was greatly excited! Then... it dropped back down to its normal volume.
I need to figure out a way to disable the phone recognizing the dock entirely since I only use the dock for keeping it stable on my windshield and charging. Anyone have ideas?

I don't think the dots would pass through the charge if the phone completely stops recognizing the dock. This problem didn't start until Froyo, I'm pretty sure there'll be a fix for it.
I have the same problem. So much time has gone by since they released the car dock, first it was fine but after froyo the audio settings could not be saves anymore and the volume got much quieter.
No word from Google... nothing, no answer, no patch.
I'm really pissed, the car dock is almost unusable, except you go to audio settings every time you dock the phone and recheck the settings... :-(
there are already some people who reported the problem on the issue tracker. If you have the same problem please star the issue, but avoid giving "me too" comments... as everyone in the thread gets an email for your +1 comment.

Hi guys,
There's so many add-in tools out in the market that can easily solve those volume level issue. (e.g. "Dock Volume", "Car Dock v2", and many "Locale" or "Tasker" apps) So in my personal option, this is not an issue at all.

You're completely clueless to the issue at hand, please stay away from this thread. Most of those apps have been around before Froyo was even released.
Hello,
I have looked around but can't find an answer to a little setting I'm looking for.
Is there a way to enable a sound when I plug in to charge (or place on wireless charger)? I'd like to know that I have put my phone in the right spot on the charger. Edit: Found an app for this. Seems to work fine, but it's not native.
Also, I have a case that has a flip that goes around the back. I have my mastercard in the wallet part of the case, but when it's near the back of the phone, the phone makes the NFC noise. I tried disabling android beam but it still makes the noise as it is reading the card. Is there a way to turn off this sound without disabling NFC?
I apologise if I didn't look hard enough for the answers! I tried, I swear!
Thanks

My Nexus 5 and 4 both make a noise when i plug them in or place them on a wireless charger... always loved that fact tbh. Nexus 7 does it too it think.
They switch the screen on for a quick second too
Anyone else having issues with BT headset dropping the connection occasionally!
I'm using cataclysm latest and a Motorola flip elite.
Happens every other day.
Makes me wonder if I should use a KRT16S since the stock ROMs are all KRT16M?

No issues with drops, just way too loud but I think that is only affecting stereo headsets. I'm running cataclysm with franco's kernel.

Maybe it's just my headset..... Or kernel (faux).
Unlikely it's hardware issue with my phone.
Everything is so new that it will be a few months until bugs are worked out.
I get drops/skips all the time when listening to music over bluetooth, probably at least once a day. It just cuts in and out for 30 seconds or so and then settles down and works fine. I don't have another bluetooth device to test it with so I don't know if it's my phone, or the bluetooth headset. Anyone else have a similar problem? I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue... Did on straight out of the box, stock software and on DroidKang 6/7.

This is essentially what is happening with mine - drops connection for 20 seconds and reconnects by itself.

Is your's a mono headset as well?
I've had this on other phones, it's a common Android bug and people are forever moaning about it on other forums, but the Nexus bluetooth is perfect on my stock phone. Did read Franco's kernal had messed this up again so looks like something the devs either introduce or more likely remove to save power as that's a common claim they make.

Hey guys, I recently flashed the factory Lollipop image from my Nexus 5 (LRX210) and everything was running great.
Not soon after I set up my Tap & Pay, I realized that I couldn't complete my purchases. I thought maybe it was my Wallet app, or something was wrong with the priority of the wallet app, but that wasn't that case.
I tried beaming content via NFC to many other androids, but it was like my NFC card was dead. I didn't get any feedback from other devices, and even when I scanned a NFC tag it didn't react.
My NFC card was working fine before I went to 5.0, does anyone else have this problem? Really hoping I can get some info about it.
Thanks.
Bump :/

Try pressing down on the back cover where the qi and NFC connectors are. If that doesn't work then you'll have to open it up or RMA.

I was just reading up on it. Before I upgraded I opened up the back cover to show my friend the internals, then I snapped the cover back on (without pushing the back cover). A week past, then I updated to Lollipop. Another week has past since I upgraded and I just now realized the NFC wasn't working. I got my friend to let me use his wireless charger, and it worked fine. I also tried pushing the back in to hear that extra snap, but nothing has seemed to work.
Edit: I also flashed the factory image for KitKat, and NFC still does not work.
Perhaps I should be more detailed when I say "not working." The NFC does indeed recognize NFC tags and other enabled devices, however it does not vibrate like it should, or work like it should. I have many NFC tags that I bought and were working just fine. I tried them out 1 by 1 with my Nexus, and every time I scanned 1, a white screen would flash for a very brief moment, as if it was a windows opening and then closing before the animation finished. I used the NFC Tools app, and it recognizes the tags, but it can't read, write, lock, or do anything to them. I downloaded an app called NFCSniffer, and I get feedback from tags as well. But it seems as though my NFC chip is not working correctly ever since I opened the back. I'm really confused about this whole situation and wish I hadn't even opened the thing.

Weird. In all the cases I know of, the NFC chip is either completely dead or just not connected properly. Try opening it up and putting it together again. If that doesn't help then I guess you'll have to replace the chip.
