[Q] Right speaker problem - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I'm noticing after some days that there's a strange sound coming out from the right speaker, the part wich is in the right side of the tablet.. It mostly happens (and it's louder) after a tap on the screen, when touching something makes a *click* of the system ui... I always have the brightness at a more or less 65%, and the sound set to more than 50%, don't know how much exactly.. , And it happens more frequently when wifi is on. The problem is that the sound continues even when the screen is off, and there's no music playing...
Please, can sombody go to place without noises and check if that happens also to you? Just to know if this is a fault of my device or if it happens to everyone
Thanks!!

Nobody has this issue?? I've tested it again today and I can still hear that sound

I have it too and many other people as well. I have seen a thread about it few days ago on Official Shield Tablet Board...

Thanks! So it looks like a normal sound from the SoC... Is there anyway to make it sound less? I think it could broke the speaker, by being constantly "in use", without stoping..

May I ask you what firmware version you are using (did you update via OTA to 1.2.1)?

Yep, I think the tablet was in 1.1, and I received the 1.2.1 a week ago, so I updated it...

Same thing is happening to mine and it's on the latest firmware

Could anyone possibly running a custom ROM confirm if this still happens? If not maybe it could mean that it can be software issue (just hoping)

On mine the sound disappears when I turn off the screen and when I am on home screen not doing anything for few seconds I can hear that speakers do turn off... But I am on software 1.0 (didn't update because no problems other than that)
So this may be software related...

Mine even when screen is off, I can still hear it.. And I don't hear the speaker turn off.. Maybe beacuse of the software (1.2.1).. This is so rare..

My Screen keeps turning on by itself!

when i have my phone locked and im not even touching it, every few minutes the screen will turn on and sit there for around 30 seconds then will turn back on a few mins later, this is very annoying and im sure uses a ton of battery over the course of a day, im running leedroid 3.1.2 and it used to do it on 3.1.1 so idk if its rom related

Check for any stray apps. Install "Battery history for GB" app from market and check for apps that are using "wake lock" excessively.
I had a similar problem with my inspire. It seemed to be caused by a faulty usb cable. After I plugged my phone into my car charger it started working fine.
I have an Inspire 4G with the same problem. I doubt that it is an app, because I changed the rom 3 times so far. And with every one of them, the problem persists. Anyway, i'm trying the Battery log now.

Do you have any apps that you set up profiles for, i.e. Llama? They can be buggy sometimes with the screen commands.
I have the same problem. Going to have to waste my upgrade in august for a new inspire. I am trying battery history for gb now. IF anyone has any ideas, please lets us know. This is absolutely ridicolous.

Hey I've been having the same issue, my SGS I9000 international version keeps turning the screen on by itself randomly, I've flashed my phone back to stock Eclair 2.1 and then I went to Froyo, Cyannogen mode 7, ICS rom which I forgot the name of it, and then I'm running on the new value pack now which is 2.3.6XXJW4 however nothing has solved this damn problem, my screen keeps turning on and it's killing my battery, help please..!! I've tried to see if the sensor is not working, however I believe it's something else.. please let me know if someone has fix for this..!
I'm running LeeDroid v5.1.1 and haven't experienced this yet. I've been running it close to 2 weeks now with no real issues. Just an occasional lag spike on wake up.

I mailed motorola, they said I should try a factory reset.. which didnt help (so you dont have to try).
I mailed them again and they said they forward that error to the technicians. So when I here something about this I post it here !

My MZ608-32 have the same problem after I upgrade to ICS, only sound on one speaker, I try to factory reset two times and nothing, in some aplications the lower speaker function with very low volume at example some YouTube videos. With readphones both sides work fine.
In my MZ607 from Brazil I have same bug. But I like so much this bug, with it I send my MZ607 for warranty and probably I get my money back. And get unlock bootloader tablet.
Not Good
I have a Xoom 2 ME and since updating to ICS, I too, have the same sound problem. Do you all think it is worth us clubbing together and sending a mass e-mail to Motorola and see if we can get some form of OTA update to fix the problem? We are only getting half the speakers working and we paid for them ALL to work!
Has anyone got a place we can send such error reports to?
Many Thanks in Advance

Let's see what will be the excuse this time...
Hi guys.
I found a workaround for this bug. For now im using some Tasker profiles to change the speakers configuration when the screen orientation is changed, but i plan to write an app to do this automatically. Root is needed to workaround this bug, and permanent rom changes aren't necessary so it doesn't break OTA updates.
In not sure why motorola disabled this feature on the ics update, it works ok here, a "pop" can be heard when the screen is rotated, maybe thats their reason...
Hi, it would be great to make the speakers work again.
Regards.
Hi guys, sorry for the delay on this. The apk is done and uploaded to google play. Been using it for a few weeks now, works good.

If it works for you, buy me a beer by getting the paid version. Cheers.
Please, thank this post if it has fixed your xoom. :good:
Works great
At least the Xoom 2 ICS works well.
My original Xoom running Motorola's ICS lags a lot... Also, it crashes and reboots at least once everyday...
Thank you bro
You're a genious.
Works great :good:

[Q] Media sound somehow gets muted

Over the past week, twice I've gone to play a YouTube video or play a saved video using the video player only to realize there is no sound. The system and notification sounds can be heard but not media. I check the settings and the media sounds are muted but the system and notifications are not. This doesn't make sense. I've included a screenshot of what the settings look like. If I shutdown and power on again it's back to normal.
Has anyone else seen this issue or know the cause?
I did once last week, a reboot fixed it but I couldn't figure out what caused it or how to fix out brie that. That was the first time experiencing it for me since buying it last August.

I'm still experiencing this issue sporadically. I think it has something to do with that minor update from Samsung last week. Had no issues prior to that. I can't recall what the update was for. Having to reboot whenever this happens is irritating.
Samsung app
Anyone experiencing this issue, did you download the AllShareCast Dongle S/W Update from the Google Play Store last week?
I've only had mine for a week and have had this problem twice. It is annoying.

Had the problem once and as mentioned above, a restart sorted it. Hasn't returned.... yet
I have not downloaded the all share or whatever was asked nor did I do that Samsung update. So I can say it's got nothing to do with either of those.

I do not know what was caseing it to mute the media sound but i went to the Samsung app and updated it there as well as play store all share and dangle update and for now it looks like it may have fixed it not 100 percent sure but it is working for now. Will date if it comes back.
Update it did not fix it. But i have learned that if i go to netfilx and watch a movie it fixes it self. Anyone know whats makeing the sound mute? Is it the update are something else?

This issue seems to have something to do with Netflix. After the last occurrence, I shutdown the tablet and powered on, and media sound was okay. I just had to adjust the volume. I went a week without any issue until I used Netflix. If I open Netflix and simply browse without watching anything and then exit the app, sometimes upon exit the media sound will be muted. I'm hoping an update to Netflix or the Premium Suite update with JellyBean will correct this.
UPDATE: It looks like the Netflix app update for December 21st corrected this issue.

Led notification light issues

Hi all
Just got my 2nd nexus 5, first one went back for touch screen issues. Got 2nd one and this has problem too.
If someone sends me a text the pulse notification light pulses once and that's it. No repeat. However after that if someone sends me a text it works as it should, ie repeats every 10 seconds.
Seems very random as to when it works properly. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks all
Chris

Yes, people have this problem on stock rom.. It appears randomly though and not as often as you're getting. A restart fixes it... Are you using Light Flow or any app to control the LED??
No will light flow solve this?

Trying it now seems to work ok. Strange that my last nexus didn't suffer this problem. Wounder if Google are aware of this issue?
Also on a side note not sure if it's related but I'm sure my first nexus 5 did a software update when I first took it out of the box, my new one did not do that.

Yes, I think they are aware of it... I remember reading it somewhere around XDA about it.. Can't find a link to it though.. I guess we will just have to wait for the update and see... FYI, a reboot fixes the issue temporarily..
It didn't update because the ones which were manufactured in January came with 4.4.2 Out of the box which is the latest update!

Thanks for your reply mate, for me when I reboot the first message does not work, then they seem ok after that, that's just for sms, I get no notifications at all with whatsapp etc, however light flow seems to work ok at moment but would be nice if Google did a fix.

Choppy and laggy scrolling every 3 seconds

Hi
Weird problem with my device (3 months old), after playing for a while with the device it suddenly starts to make these weird choppy and laggy scrolling every 3 seconds, like it is doing something in the background, i see it when scrolling, when playing, when facebooking or anything else.
I downloaded apps to see if the CPU is workng without touching it, couldnt see anything in the background unless i touched the phone.
Can it be something bad within the Oreo 8.1 code? This is really ruin the user experience i have with it, making it work sometimes likek my old Meizu or even worse.
It goes awaay after rebooting, or after a while by itselfe.
I clean the RAM always, i stopped lots of permission apps to work in the background but cant see the difference.
Any suggestions?
I also had this problem. It completely disappeared when I made a software update.
I think it was temporarily fixed by turning on "deactivate HW-Overlays" in the developer settings. However, as far is I've read, this could decrease battery performance.
Greetings
Thanks ill try it, but i do have the 8.0 version** after an OTA update after i got the phone..
Well i came back to say this tweak works!
It wont get choppy anymore..thanks!

I did exactly what metaxuss instructed me to do, you need to open the Developer mode and right after look in the search button on the Settings for HW overlay, turned it on and now it works like a charm, i hope they will fix it under the next update..

I have found that to happen too, but its a quick fix,
really shame that HTC wont solve this, and why would it happen only on our devices?
Same problem for me. If I disable the option, it looks better as you said but Netflix does work anymore (sound, subtitles ok but no display)...
So I'm waiting for a fix from HTC
Update of htc u11+ stopped almost 6 months ago 0 update, shame on htc
