No sound after 4.4.4 update - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I updated to 4.4.4, I can no longer hear anyone whose calling me through the headset but the speaker and bluetooth works. Before the update, anyone calling was hard to heard at max volume. I thought the update was suppose to fix this problem but it seems to have made it worse. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Thanks. After a couple of restarts, the sound is working but it's still low.

I've had this issue twice now. A restart fixes it both times but it's difficult because you only find out about it when you receive a call.

How to fix inaudible call volume

Running stock 2.3.3. Even with call volume maxed out I can barely hear the person on the other end. I have tried with multiple calls to multiple people and get the same thing.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Anyone experienced something similar?

i have that problem, i tend to use speaker more. hopefully a mod comes soon
I'm running CM7 RC1 with Voodoo kernel, not sure if the Voodoo sound patch has any part in this, but the volume on my phone is quite loud when using Skype. But in a noisy environment, I'd rather use a pair of noise blocking earphone or headset.
Yea i can barely hear the other person as well. I dont know if its just in my head but it almost seems like it started after the 2.3.3 update

During a call turn the volume down and then back up. When you turn it down you won't notice much difference but you will when you turn it up again. It seems that the volume settings thinks it's at max when it isn't and you need to reset it by turning it down.
Hmm ill give that a shot

Could be your service provider too.

Don't think so. The same issue was present with the N1, kernel developers implemented an audio boost feature that really helped this issue out. Hopefully we will see the same for the NS soon enough.
I would LOOOOOVE for an audio boost similar to the N1 to be implemented for the NS.

[Q] volume of the front speakers? Help please
hello all
does anyone know the phonecodes for the nexus s (service mode)? I want to increase the handset (speaker to the ear)!
in the galaxy s, he is **#*#197328640#*# but not work
nexus s CM7 netarchy 1.2.7
sorry for my bad english
does anybody know how to raise the volume of the front speakers?
I'd like to do this also. Default max volume is too low, sometimes hard to hear what people say.
exactly!
It must be possible to increase the volume
with the voodoo kernel only the speakers on the back work
I have the same problems, in call volume is too low :-( and its not the provider because with my Galaxy S the volume is okay.
Phone speaker is quiet but with my bt earpiece I can get it loud enough to hurt my ears.

i don't know about you guys, but i have no problem hearing the call even in busy ( noisy ) streets environments.
using any of the 3 methods:
normal ear speaker
back speaker
BT headset
on 2.3.3 stock, no mods of any kind
temporarily solution:
During call set volume to min and then to max and then it's OK. After reboot problem is back.

Only volume probs I come across 2.3.0-2.3.3 has been the other person's provider (att, Boost, Metro) so far.

Headset Connected

Everytime i connect my headset all notification sounds (email, sms, calls and other app notifications) are going through the speaker and headset isnt that when you connect the headset it shouldnt play on the speaker?
I came from iPhone 5 and this is what i am used to when headset is connect all sounds should only be in the connected device not on the phone speakers. I know you can install 3rd party apps but are there any normal or should i say a OOB solution for this?

I had this problem, too. The problem was that the Headset connection got deactivated immediately after a call was made (saw the Headset button going from green to grey when the call screen appeared). Pressing the Headset button again to reactivate it worked. Had to do that a few times. Now the problem is gone, the connection stays activated. I did reboot/cache wiped my phone at some point, but since I don't have the problem anymore, I can't reproduce what I did to check what did the trick. I'd start with reactivating the connection when it gets lost and than reboot.

they said its a phone feature, but if it is then Samsung suck bigtime.
there are some work around but its just a band aid solution i guess.

Well, what's the workaround then?
Apart from putting the phone on vibrate or silent.
Because it is bloody annoying, I spend 7 hours a day in a silent coupe on the train and the other 12 hours of my day in places where I can NOT afford to have my phone start beeping and make a bloody racket!
My earphones are IN MY EARS. How the bloody hell am I supposed to hear the notification if it goes off outside a bloody noise-cancellation soundbarrier?!
Absolute morons, the baffoons who designed that 'feature'. If your 'feature' looks like a bug, you did it wrong.

You can use Tasker to detect notifications and then send a message through the media stream.
When I have my headphones on and get a text Tasker will tell me about it while I am listening to music. You can get the name of the sender and/or speak the body of the text.

I guess we need to let Samsung know about this . Its very annoying whats the point of using headsets when the notifications are still being played on the phone speaker???

[Q] Call sound problem

Hi all,
I am facing a severe problem of call sound not coming from both side...
I am not able to hear ring sound and callers sound while calling someone.
Its coming only on outgoing calls.
I had replacement 2 times from Flipkart for this issue. But still its persist in all device. Have to restart my phone each time to resolve this.
I am fed up by restarting my device 8-10 times a day..
Any resolution any one found.?
I had a big discussion on Motorola official forum. But useless...

I had the same problem. There's an app that is installed in Malaysk's rom that is doing this. I forgot what it's called. I think it's MTC-something. Disable auto brightness control from within that app from starting and you wont have that problem anymore.
Only one I have I think is mtc sound I'll check thanks

It is the MTC sound one, it's weird down in the settings past sound options. There's something about dimming the screen, it makes the screen way way to dark and is default on.
Thanks I'll check it

Thanks again that seems too have cured it it is brightness controlled by GPS That needs too be adjusted or turned off
