I've downloaded Pentastic to try and sort it but it hasn't helped.
The first time I remove the Spen... nothing, but back in or out again and it works fine, and plays the selected sound.
Could there be a power saving setting switching it off when it's not been used?
I tested it on mine and it works fine. Are you using a custom sound?
Yes, light sabre (used it on many Notes now) but if I switch back to normal it's still the same problem.
Ok. I just did it on mine and it worked. Here are the two sound files I used (zipped up).
fx4.mp3 is the light saber on
fx5.mp3 is the light saber off.
Try them and see if they work. They worked for me. I put them in the ringtones folder on my phone.
Thanks for that but it's just the same as the others I have tried - the first pen removal no sound, after that works fine? If I switch the phone off it goes back to same issue on first removal!
just check, sound on removal is different to reinsertion, go to volume and adjust system volume to high (just to test), then remove spen while holding phone to ear, I then hear a (shlooop type sound) when I reinsert its a click type sound, maybe its that.
I have to restart the phone to test as after the first fail it works fine... odd!
Anyway, still no sound at all but then works fine after that first fail, unless I restart the phone
Bump... nobody got any thoughts on this? It's so annoying!

This may sound stupid, do you have Do Not Disturb turned on? l. It is possible that a third party app is interfering. My power settings are set to high performance. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce your problem.
I only have it on from 11.30pm until 8.00am but thanks for the thought.
How could I check the 3rd party App suggestion?

Any third party apps that have access or possible access to the speakers. It's a shot in the dark.
The last resort is a factory reset. I'm not sure it's worth the PIA though.

Yeah. It's sounding more and more like a factory reset is in order. :/
But as a wise man said, is it worth all that hassle?
Maybe. There may be other issues as well that you haven't encountered yet.
I guess if I knew 100% that it would fix it I would, but I'd hate to go through all the set up again for nothing
Yeah. I'm not envying you.

It never worked for me for some reason. It could be disabled but I can't find the setting to turn it on. Anyway, I am planing to do a hard reset this weekend and see if that feature is back.

I can only assume it will be there after a hard reset, as it's something I've used countless times and have never had to enable it. (I seem to remember reading it in the manual too!)
Confirmed working with Dutty's ML series ROMs.
It does not work for me. WWE ROM. I just did a hard reset.
Always worked for me on Stock 1.66 ROM.
Working on Axlor.
Weird this, ive always wanted it!
and just never tried it

that's strange. the feature is documented in the HD2 manual, so it at least works on all stock ROMs. If not, approach HTC support.
i'd say if it doesn't work, its something related to a flashed rom and a setting more than anything else
Turing On Speaker While Facing Up More Useful
I would rather somehow have the proximity sensor turn the spearkers on while the phone is facing up because it would be nice to multi-task and take notes or update my contacts while I am talking to that person/business. For example, a business gives me an RMA so I would have to edit my notes for that contact and enter the RMA number. I can't do this while the phone is faced down.
yea the speaker function works the same on mine as on the TP2
Is there a setting or reg key that I can change to enable this? (doesn't work on Artemis 6.0)

Maybe it's too late and you already found the solution but here it goes for other people:
To turn the HD2's speaker on do one of these:
1 - Long press phone button (furtherest left)
2 - Turn it upside down
3 - On the call screen slide down & press the speaker's button
Hello..newb at android but all of a sudden one day the following sounds stopped working:
Lock/unlock
Camera
Button press
I did attempt to trouble shoot by looking in the "UI" folder and see all the sound
files are there currently and made sure all the regular settings were enabled too.
Any ideas? Thx in advance...
reboot maybe also check if your media volume is turned up through settings>sound>volume.
I've battery pulled and all that..no luck

Think I will figure out how to factory reset and restore
to back up if it will work.
Proper steps:
-enter recovery via CWM
-factory reset
-the re-enter CWM
-and restore to back up I created???
Have you checked to make sure you have it turned on in Settings/Sounds, down at the bottom Screen lock sounds.
Yeah, still won't work.

Sound plays before the video. Uninstalled Youtube updates, no help. Anyone fixed this one?
Anyone else having sync trouble with YouTube, or is it just me?
No I do not. Curious are you listening through some type of bluetooth device? I use to have that problem when watching videos in my F-150 over the speakers.

I usually watch YouTube using the external speaker. Just tried some headphones, same problem. To my ears, it starts off wrong and stays wrong, it doesn't seem to drift.
Finally got around to creating a thread on the Lenovo site: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets-and/Youtube-A-V-sync-problem-on-the-Phab2-Pro-PB2-690Y/td-p/3506026
I am having the same issue
One thing I've been curious about is whether all video playback is affected or if it's just YouTube.
Played some trailers on Rotten Tomatoes and they looked good to me, can anyone confirm? I could have just missed it, movie trailers don't seem to show much speaking.
Also played a couple free videos on Play Movies & TV and the sync problem was there. I think we can add that app to the problem list. Can anyone confirm on that one too?
Dolby app
Could someone try this. I did a force stop on the Dolby app and played a YouTube video. I think it's a lot better with the audio and video sync. It may just be me.

You are right that turning off the Dolby service does fix the slight sync issue on YouTube. I simply turned off the service from the tray pulldown without force stopping the app and it worked right away. Anyone else can confirm this?

How are you turning off Dolby?
On my phone, clicking on the app causes immediate crash & selecting it in Settings > Apps doesn't allow either "Uninstall" or "Disable".

Pull down from the top of the screen which will show your notifications window, then pull down from the top of the screen again to see the quick toggles, which will have a toggle button for DOLBY.

Yeah, got the button, but it doesn't "click". Even going into Settings > Developer Options > Inactive apps, toggling Dolby doesn't do anything, doesn't deactivate like every other app.

Try running the Dolby app (in the app drawer), and clicking the round power button at the top left, maybe that will turn it off for you? Works here anyhow. On mine, if I'm playing sounds with Dolby Atmos enabled, it shows a frequency analysis, but with it off, it doesn't, so that might be helpful in determining if it worked.
I'm not sure what happened, but the sync problem is back for me, even with Dolby off. Tried rebooting, no luck.

Agreed. It did work perfectly for a while, but for an unknown reason it went back to not working pretty quickly. I need to figure out how to log back in on the Lenovo forums so I can contradict my earlier post.

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...
I figured that out by chance..
It's the edge-compass app
Just delete it from edge apps and it'll go away.. cheers

Use good lock. It has a module to detect vibrations and tell you what they are

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
Hi all, from some days I have a strange issue. Back button doesn't work if I set back gesture, but if I choose multitasking it works fine.

Same issue here from time to time, reboot normally makes back button work again.
