Microphone wont work with Droid Maxx - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure what my problem is but this is the 4th droid maxx that I have gone through now where the microphone on the phone will all of the sudden stop working. If I use bluetooth or a headphones with a mic it works just fine but if I am trying to just use my handset no one can here me. I had thought that it had something to do with my headphones that I was using but I was using the handset and after a phone call it all of the sudden the next phone call that came in they could not here me. I have also tried being on bluetooth and then changing it back to the handset and that doesnt work. I dont know what to do I like the phone so much but verizon told me that i would have to switch to a different one if I wanted to replace it again.

Could it be an app? Have you tried it just with everything default for a day or two? Not adding any apps or accounts except gmail? You could try starting there.

No its not an app because on my third phone that I had it only lasted a day before it even started I did a factory reset and cleared everything off and still the same issue.

worked for me. what changed?
Somehow it's possible for the message center to get corrupted/lost... Happened to me too.
Looks like the OP solved the problem, but I have this issue with my microcell. I can text everywhere but home. I have to try resending some texts 3-4 times. There is an new iphone in the house that has no issues, nor did my old 3gs have any issues on the microcell.
My wife and I have the same issue. Granted when we aren't at home and the signal is still low we will have failed texts but at home its horrible. I think AT&T is full of crap and the Mcell doesn't handle SMS and MMS as it should.
There is a thread here called "text message issues (infused)" I can't post links yet...but it refers to microcell and texting issues. It says there are posts that discuss fixing it, but I can't seem to find anything.
The other day I only had one or two fail, but today had been worse than normal, every single text fails at least twice. Really starting to wear on my nerves.

I have the same problem with my phone. I just got an Infuse less than 2 weeks ago. Before that I had an HTC Aria, a Palm Pre Plus, and an iPhone 3G. None of those phones had problems with the mCell from AT&T or texts, but my Infuse immediately had trouble sending texts, and only on the mCell. I guess the Infuse and the microcell don't play nice together. Wonder if AT&T will fix it? We'll probably have better luck with a dev figuring it out for us first.
I had the same issue with MicroCell with the phone on WIFI. Once I turned of the wifi, the message usually sends without a hitch. Maybe it has something to do with the cellular connection not staying alive while on wifi with the microcell?

I think I tried this already, with no luck, but I'll try again once I get back home.
Sometimes it took a few seconds after I disabled WiFi, but it solves the problem 90% of the time for me.

It also sometimes happens minus the microcell, which leads me to believe it has something to do with WiFi.... personally
You may be on to something with the wifi. I have tried it for the past two days without wifi on and all of my texts have gone through. Could just be a coincidence, I'm going to do some more testing in the next few days to see what happens turning wifi back on and off.

Had the same problem on my phone as well, was worried i messed up my kernal or something like that... worked like a charm. thanks!!!
Is there different messaging center #'s? I reverted back to stock so I could do the ota update to the new firmware, then I installed the community kernel and somehow it erased that #. I input the 1321....# and it works like a charm now. I dont want to get hit with any fees or surprises so just wanted to make sure the messaging center # was the same for all phones.

At&t Messages App

My At&t rep made a store visit today and showed me this app. It's one app that displays your voice mails, texts and call log. I just installed it and got it setup, haven't messed with it that much but it looks cool.
Android Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.att.android.mobile.attmessages&feature=search_result
i saw that in the market today. but didnt mess with it. ill try it out
I don't think it plays well with wifi. Since installing it my wifi times out even though the sleep policy is set to never. If anyone else can confirm this let me know.

I like it so far...nothing super exciting, but works well.
My phone says it's not with AT&T, even though it is.
Maybe this is an Infused 2.02 problem.
Note: This only happens when I'm browsing on my laptop to download it from there. It works directly from the phone. VERY strange~
Be careful about this app. I installed it this morning and didn't like it so I took it back off. It took me >2 hours to get AT&T to fix my voicemail box again. Even once it was "fixed" I can't access it through the regular voicemail numbers, but have to dial my own number, so it still isn't really fixed.
It takes over text messaging and voicemails, so if you don't want to use it for texting don't install it. There may be a way to get it to allow texting through another app but I didn't see it.

I got my text messaging working fine as soon as I uninstalled the app, it just interfered while installed. That's what I didn't like about it. What I was warning about is it FUBAR's your voicemail. It does warn you that it's removing your voicemail-box but it doesn't tell you that it'll take an act of Congress to get voicemail working again. lol
I uninstalled it to test. I held 1 on dialpad and got into my VM fine?

Did you completely set up the messages app? If so, maybe I was just lucky enough to have problems. lol. I don't think it clears vm until after the app setup is complete. It removed the basic voicemail from my account but apparently messed some other stuff up behind the scenes. If it works for everybody else then just ignore me.

The phone app needs some work, definitely. More settings, sure, but the wifi issue is the biggest problem for me. It turns off at least once per hour (or every other hour). It does seem to be a bit sluggish as well in terms of how the app feels.
The website isn't too bad, though. I love that you can capture audio and video. I've been waiting for google to have web-based MMS for a long while now and AT&T did it! The quality could be a bit better on the audio and video, but for a beta, it's tolerable.
And the notifier app is nice, but I wish I could type more text in the reply field.
All in all, given that it's a beta, it's not bad. Needs love in a few areas, but once those are worked out I think it'll be a nice system to use.
Does anyone have the APK for this app? I uninstalled it cause it was turning my WIFI on and off, but now it's no longer in the market so I can't get it again?
thats because the infused rom was made on the rogers network. not at&t. so thats probably why it wont work

No i was taking about the AT&T Messages app that was out on the market. It's no longer in the market. I was asking if someone had the apk for the AT&T MESSAGES app. I no this app is on other AT&T android phone cause my friend has the Atrix and i was checking it out on his phone. So i no this app is available for other AT&T android phones.
Here it is. I found it in the Atrix forum
Oops. Sorry. I should have read further and seen that it was you looking for it. Sorry for the false alarm.
Probably not the one he is looking for.
doost650 - I replied in your Atrix thread.
It was working fine for me for 6 days and now all of a sudden started messing with my wifi. Kept turning on by itself. So I uninstall it luckly I didn't have that VM problem like some of you guys mention. My VM still works but its still using that new AT&T Messages VM.

Pandora and slacker radio issues

I'm having a lot of issues with Pandora and slacker radio either freezing up or starting to play a song and then skipping to the next song. Anyone else have this?

same issue
I have the same irritating issue.
i am especially irritated because i owned an iPhone 4 right before i made a switch last week. had the iPhone 2 years, never had an issue, and i use semi-daily.
hopefully they address this issue pronto
I have the same problem. I originally thought that it had something to do with beats audio, but I now think that it's a symptom of the overagressive memory management on the HOX. Check in the "general" area for many threads about this. Contact HTC to complain and get support rolling, too.
I'm thinking it was a memory issue too but I wanted to make sure. I had the 4s and this is really frustrating to me

I have been having the same issues with Pandora as well. However, it surprisingly worked very well last night after I updated to 1.82 RUU. I used it again today and no problems. Maybe it was related to an issue with the wifi problem in 1.72.
Honestly, I had the "Pandora randomly skips to a next song" on my iPhone as well. Might be a server-side thing.
Coming from my iPhone 4s it had no issues with Pandora. My one X had to buffer each song and sometimes double skips songs.
It also buffers my google play songs
It is a small annoyance because my iPhone was quick and buffer time was less than half a second easily.

was having the same problem, if only att would unlock the damn bootloader we could flash cm9 and it would save our worlds
Compared to Pandora on iOS, the Android equivalent is utter garbage.
No lock screen controls, longer buffer times, connectivity issues, less updates than iPhone version, etc. Considering we have better hardware than iOS this is unacceptable.

+1 for the pandora skipping problem. this is coming from an htc evo with no problems.
had another random problem too. i use pandora in the car, headphone jack to aux in on car stereo. for some reason occasionally when i get a text, email, or any other notification, it stops the song to play the ringtone, and when pandora comes back on it's at a much lower volume. tried unplugging and plugging back in, no go. my only option is to completely exit pandora and open back up. also happens sometimes when i use the mic to speak a text to it.
Also having this issue on my One X. I thought it may have been a bad install so I uninstalled it and tried again. Same result.

I too have tried several reinstalls to no avail.
maybe its the data connection?
I remember that I used to have this problem on my htc magic also, but it wasn't the memory management but the data connection (my home wifi).
because for some reason my wifi only stayed connected for about 3 mins and would restart.
so I'm thinking it may be the same issue, that LTE data doesn't stream as consistently as hspa. so maybe the ro.ril can be edited for more stable connection??
just a guess so i could be completely off
I highly doubt its a connectivity issue. I have very good data signal when i use pandora and it skips. I dont use it on wifi, because im running or at the gym so it isnt a wifi issue. Im almost certain it is a memory management issue that is killing the audio and then pandora wants it back so it starts up a new song which brings the audio back to the foreground til another task wants the number 1 spot which will eventually kill the audio again.

Jelly bean bugs and answers

(meaning it plays through whatever i have it plugged into, i. e., headphones, car speakers) But as soon as the next song comes on it bypasses the jack and plays out the phone's speakers. Im running stock rooted K3. only happens on that app. ive uninstalled and reinstalled. ive done a hard reset. Any ideas? thanks much. Oh yeah, when the second song plays through the speakers if I pause and play it then goes through the jack.

Unfortunately this has been a bug since the first Jelly Bean leak.
You can try enabling "Audio Output Mode" in Settings > Accessories, but I've not personally tried that. I only heard of it as a suggestion.
You could do what I did and put all your music on your phone and use PowerAMP. I know its kind of silly that simple audio output doesn't work but that's the way it is. You could also switch to an AOSP ROM to correct it.

Speakerphone turns on automatically for all calls

Hello,
I have been searching for a fix to a issue that I have been having since earlier today. It seems there have been others who have this issue but the solutions provided don't seem to be working for me.
My phone is a Verizon variant of the Galaxy S6 (64GB) currently rooted and running Clean Rom 1.5 (OE2). Everything was working fine yesterday until today when I tried to make a call, I noticed the speakerphone turned on by itself. I touched the speakerphone icon and it turned off and I proceeded with my call. Later on I tried to initiate another call and the speakerphone turned on again. It was then I realized there was something wrong.
I really don't want to factory reset because of the amount of time it consumes. I've tried everything from disabling the speakerphone option in S-Voice, cleaning out the USB port, several reboots and so forth.
I am getting the feeling that it may have something software related. When I try to make a call from a Bluetooth connected device it activates the speakerphone and then I would have to transfer the call over to Bluetooth.
I remember I had an issue related to GPS not turning on back when I was using my S4. Somebody provided a fix via SQL editor. Wondering if this would be able to be fixed the same way.
Please anyone if you can lend your support or any remedies that might be able to fix this.
Thanks in advance,

Seems like I fixed it. I just blew into my USB port really hard a few times and I think my phone made the docking sound for when you dock your phone and undock it. Just tested a few calls and it did not activate the speakerphone. Glad it wasn't anything complicated..

Try turning off the phone and then taking a small piece of paper or like the corner of a business card and carefully/gently pull out the dust in the USB port. Do that with a combination of blowing into it. Took me a few tries before it fixed itself.

Check your application's. I had that issue and found it to be a default option on my call recorder app being the issue.
Hopefully it's that simple. Good luck ?

Where is the call recorder app? I can't seem to find it.
It would be something you installed yourself. I'd check any type of (self installed) dialer app, call recorder app or call blocking app settings. If you haven't personally installed any of these then unfortunately I'm out of ideas ?
