Ringtone not routed to loudspeaker [Q][Help] - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying hard to fix the issue but it is still prevalent.
Whenever I use a ROM, when the phone is in loud mode, sometimes the call ringtone is not played from the speakers. However if your are receiving a call and you pop in the headset, the phone immediately plays the ringtone again. This first appeared in AICP. I've changed it to Mokee and CM12 too, the same. For an year I've been using crDroid before and I did not have this bug. But now, even after flashing the crDroid version I previously had, I get the bug.
I wonder how its happening like this. Does bootloader have to do something? I switched to Brazilian Stock in order to get the Lollipop soak test, and after a couple of ROM changes I've been having this issue. Does the Brazilian stock firmware use a different boot loader than Asia stock firmware?
I've tried installing a custom kernel to check if its a kernel issue but the issue won't resolve. Again the issue goes off by a restart but comes back after a few calls.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Sound / Volume

Hello,
Currently I'm using the stock OTA 4.0.3 and build number IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.17-20120312.
I think there's a new build update but for some reason I'm not getting the OTA update; tried several times to do it manually in the settings. Bought in the US but currently in China (if that makes a difference) also tried connecting through VPN.
Can someone verify if I'm using the latest build?
Previously, I was having problems of random restarts and getting stuck at the Asus bootloader screen, and I was having problems with my sounds. For example, if I play music and plug in my headphones 2/3 times the sound would be muted regardless if I had my headphones plugged in or not and would have to reboot and only happened when I plugged in ear phones.
Did a factory reset and so far no random boots. But still experiencing volume problems including when the alarm goes off it says its going off but no sound is coming out.
Please please help me! Thank you so much!!!

Yes, you do have the latest build.
I did experience some sound issues with the 1st ICS update where I would have no sound. I would have to reboot. Since 4.0.3 came out I have not had this problem. The sound on the sound on the TF pretty much sucks anyway so I have been using volume + app to boost it.
About your random reboots. Were you having issue with this under HC or was this a new issue under ICS? I have probably only had a 3-4 random reboot since I have owned my TF. Only one where I found my TF stuck at the Asus boot screen & this occurred under ICS.

[Q] No sound in calls (only on speaker) after updating to 4.4.4

Hi All,
I've updated today my android ver to 4.4.4
I found that I don't have sound when using the phone normally while in call, only after I switch to speaker I get sound.
It works both ways, meaning, the other side can't hear me as well until I switch to speaker mode !
This is a really big bug, has anyone else encountered that too ? any suggestions for solution ?
The problem is pretty severe, I tried installing stock 4.4.3 and it didn't solve anything (used 'flash-all')
I have no idea how to fix this issue now.
Thank you
I have exactly the same problem. Restarting the phone fixes it for a moment, but then it happens again.
EDIT:
I did a clean flash with 4.4.4 - everything seems right so far. I guess that's why dirty flashs aren't recommended.

Mic not working during call

I've been experiencing a very frustrating issues where the mic is not working during phone call. I can hear the the other person but they cannot hear me, and if they can it's very very low, so low that they can't make out what I'm saying.
However, the microphone does work again if I go to speaker-phone mode. So i know the Mic itself is working (sound recorder works also).
I think somehow the phone thinks a headset is plugged in and disable the mic unless I'm on speaker-phone mode.
I don't think it is a ROM issues as I have tried a large number of different ROMS, including flashing stock OPO image. None worked.
If anyone know a solution to this issue please help me out. It's very frustrating that I can't make phone calls and have to turn on speaker-phone or use a headset.
Try a different Kernel, had the problem with my 3 different Headsets, i tryed the same ROM with some different Kernels and with the AK Kernel everything worked fine...not with the Furnace! Also try to flash UKM over a Custom Kernel. Check out the AK Kernel there you can find everything you need. If you have done everything right as in the "manual" open up Synapse...there is a point called "Sound", there you can find the point "Microphone", volume it up and try again. if its still not working make a full wipe that your device loses all data and reinstall the original CyanogenMod 11s with this tool here or any tool you want!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/oneplus-one-toolkit-manudroid19-gui-t2807418
If its still not working delete again everything with the tool, install the CM11s with this tool again, install the CWM Recovery, flash the crDroid Rom (best ROM and everything works for me!), flash GAPPS, flash AK Kernel and last flash UKM!
This is my current setup and everything is working

No luck here. : /
I've tried everything from flashing different ROMs to flashing different kernel. I even went back to factory reset, lock/unlock bootloader to wipe device. None of that work. Very frustrating. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issues, since trying out that many ROMs didn't help at all.
Did you informed oneplus already?

Yep, filed a support/warranty request. But god knows how long it'll take for them to get back to me. There's no phone number support or anything. : /

Hi,
unfortunately I have the same problem. I've tried to fix it even modifying the system/etc/mixer_paths.xml but nothing works (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...icrophone-ok-google-low-t2805568/post53914918). I noticed when that changing the values of hph-mic and anc-mic to 0, then handsfree mode doesn't work neither. Therefore we have clues to think the main mic is which has the problem.
Curiosly, I do not have had this issue out of the box, I think it began after 30O update. However I've downgraded to 25R and the issue remains.
I hope you the best luck
Regards

Cynogen 11s team is working to add support for CTIA headphones soon. See my post in similar thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55186894&postcount=25)
OK figured it out I uninstalled the latest hangouts update and made and received several calls all seems to be ok now
Is there any update regarding this issue? I still have this mic problem during calls and no clue on how to fix it.
OPO microphone problem is a hardware problem
Same problem here.
One morning main microphone in my OPO died - no one can hear me during call.
Recording sound with main mic gives some barely audible sounds.
tried reboot/factory defaults /root with fixing mixer paths - to no avail
The only solution is to call with speakerphone or bluetooth headset or normal headset.
Looks like hardware problem. Sadly OPO support sucks.

I have a similar problem. Did you find a fix? I did everything. Restarted, ROM changed and everything!
As I wrote - no fix - IMHO it is a hardware fault. Still waiting for response from OPO support in hope for receiving RMA.
I am also thinking to return the phone because of this issue.
Just adding that I also have this problem - phone was working fine until yesterday.
Now mic is extremely quiet in call, unless I switch to speakerphone then it works fine (Video recording sound is fine also, but Google speech to text etc is not working)
I installed Swiftkey last night but I think its unrelated
Has anyone found any solutions for this problem yet?
Yes, I sold the phone!
:laugh:

I´ve opened a ticket. I advice to do the same.
- They will send you a link, with the ZIP-file in this link you have to reflash the rom. But probably it won´t work.
- Then tell them that it doesn´t work (of course only if it doesn´t work).
- Apply a RMA request
- Send them your ONE
- Receive an new one.
I´m waiting for the TNT courier, at the moment.
same problem here. No response from support. now recently even the emails to [email protected] are bouncing back with error, cannot deliver your email to the address.
So.. I'm having the same problem now..
I can't even submit a RMA, as I bought the phone from a person without the invite - so I have the receipt and everything, but when trying to submit the RMA, I have to select the order - Which I have none of, isn't that just wonderfull?
Did any of you find a solution?
I've had Samsung GS3 and GS4 with almost the same issues now and it is killing me, my will to keep living with these problems are close to none...

Can't hear any audio during an incoming call

I am using a non-rooted stock rom based Moto G 2015, XT1550.
Sometimes when i accept a call, I can't hear anything but the caller can hear my voice perfectly, that is the mic is still working.
This occurs only once or twice during the day and only when somebody calls me. Unfortunately the 30 day return/replacement period is over so I can't return the phone and my network receptions seems to be ok.
Theses are the steps I have taken to try to resolve the issue on my own but without any fruitful result:
1.Tried factory resetting the phone.
2.Wiping cache partition
3. Rebooted the phone
4.When this issue occurred tried plugging in the headphone, switched to the loudspeaker,
placed the in-call volume to the maximum but none of this produced any audio output.
5. Tried testing the earpiece using the service mode *#*#2486#*#*, worked OK.
When I faced this problem I wasn't listening to music or using any apps(like if the audio was routed to the headphone port and not switching back to the earpiece).
6.This happened before and after the recent stage fright update.
7.Disabled OK Google detection.
8. Moto assist was also off.
My data and bluetooth are always off, I am not using any new or unfamiliar apps that might cause this issue. Could this be a hardware issue? Please advise me on how to fix this issue...Really need your help :crying:
If I could find any fix I will update this post soon.
Try flashing the stock firmware, maybe that helps it.
(Warning: downgrading can cause problems)

18.1 hotdogb phone app issue

I hope this goes to the right place, if not can someone direct me to where it goes.
I'm having an issue with what appears to be the phone app. i can call out but when the recipiant picks up all they here is a beep like a old school fax whine. I've searched this issue and I'm at a loss. Phone is Oneplus 7t with 18.1 hotdogb with no Google.
Thanks for any help,
Lowdownin
It is not just the phone app from my digging. I am also having the same issue with Signal, as well as another dialler I have installed to test. It also happens when using a SIP client both in the Phone app and separately (Mizudroid).
Regardless of how the call is made (inbound to me or outbound to another), all they hear is a high pitch tone. I can hear them fine. Hitting mute stops the noise for them, however unmuting restores it.
I have checked and the phone records sound via the microphone and when in speaker mode and the playback is perfect.
As per @Lowdownin928, I am at a loose end. I am in the process of downgrading and will report if that has an effect.
New ROM released today, tried that first - https://download.lineageos.org/hotdogb. No change.
Downgraded to the last before the one I was having trouble with - lineage-18.1-20210926-nightly-hotdogb-signed.zip - however this has the same issue.
At this stage I cannot work out why the ROM could cause this but then using other ROM's does not fix, even when doing a full wipe. Something else is going on.
Am looking at reverting to a t-mobile or international ROM to go way back and see what happens. If that does not fix it then I am stumped, as it seem to not be hardware. Very, very strange.
OK, so have installed an original t-mobile version of Android 10.0.3 for the 7T and low and behold, it works perfectly. No issue with outbound calls from SIM or SIP, did not bother testing further.
For reference, factory default t-mobile rom I used was at https://onepluscommunityserver.com/list/Unbrick_Tools/OnePlus_7T/T-Mobile_HD63CB/Q/, put phone in EDL mode and run the MDM. Came up fine.
Proceeded to System Update to v. 11.0.1.4.HD63CB. Reboot then tested for outbound noise on calls - no problems at all.
So at this stage the only way to fix this is to revert to the stock ROM, even with 11 it works fine. I have no idea what has happened with the LineageOS ROM but there is a fault somewhere. I am heading off to ask the question (and hope you will as well) but hope all this detail gives you an idea of where to go.
Just had a thought - there may be other ROM's that work fine, it could only be LineageOS that has this issue. If you don't need the feature set then look around in here.
Super surprised no-one else has had this issue, but there you go.
Success. Thanks to LuK1337, Lineage Team Member on the Reddit Support area this seems to have cleared the issue.
---
T-Mobile firmware isn't supported, you can flash retail one by following https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hotdogb/fw_update
---
So bootloader, flash lineage recovery, enter fastboot mode inside lineage recovery, flash all the .img's as laid out and then follow the rest of the install. Took a long time and careful reading but this was the key for the phone noise.
Thanks LuK1337.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I was also having the same issue and this solved it for me. Thanks so much dmc.kiint and LuK1337
