Hey,
My Nexus 7 is acting a bit strange; it is not making system sounds any more. Things like notifications, music and Hangouts video calls all make a noise, but I have noticed these not working:
Keyboard Clicks
Lock Sounds
Google Now Dings and Voices
Touch Sounds
I definitely have all of the things like keyboard clicks turned on. Help?
Thanks!

My first suggestion is to look through your apps and remove any you are unsure about, then reboot. I had the same problem with my droid RAZR and a factory reset fixed the problem. If you go that route and it still doesn't fix it, take it back and get a new one.

I found the issue; it was a lockscreen app that I had uninstalled. That lockscreen changed the sounds, and you had to disable it's System Administrator to get them back.
Thank you!

Had this problem before. A simple reboot did the trick for me. :]
rebooted.. it worked for awhile. then it started up again. seems to be on and off.. very random. i looked thru everything on my phone thinking "maybe" theres some option thats making it do this, but nothing. its quite annoying when im trying to txt.

I'm assuming you're talking about the physical keyboard; its a quick keys bug, just push the search button first and it'll disable it

There actually is a setting for keyboard shortcuts - clear all of them and the problem goes away. No bug, the ROM has the shortcuts set when you flash it for some reason. Flash a newer ROM and it shouldn't do it - or just clear the shortcuts.
I can't look in my phone right now to tell you where the setting is at but it might do some good for you to look through them and become familiar so you don't call something a bug that isn't.

yeah i figured this was the problem. i looked through my phone pretty throughly and didn't see any options though. I'll look again and get back to this thread n report.
this has been happening on and off to my phone for the last couple of weeks, I am still running RC4. it is very strange, the ROM worked fine for a while and now does this every so often, pressing E opens email app, S opens search. a reboot fixed everytime and then for what seems like no reason at all, it starts again.
will go to stable this week and hopefully it will go away. just thought i'd add another device to the list of ones with the issue.
i have no shortcuts setup at all, and have double checked. have been using CM7 since the start and it never happened prior to RC4.
When this happen just hit the "symb/search" button and the keyboard will work again
Sorry it took so long to get back with the cure but here it is:
settings>applications>quick launch
In there is where all the hw keyboard shortcut settings are. Clear any you don't want, create new ones, or whatever. Clear the ones that are giving you issues and this should solve it. If you ever clear your user data (factory reset) then it clears these settings also, so you may have to go in and delete the shortcuts again.
Hope this helped!
thank you! i cleared it all.

I've been using Light Flow for the last couple of days, but as of today my phone will no longer vibrate for notifications. The vibrator itself is perfectly fine - haptic feedback will still work and such and it vibrates on boot.
So, I figured the last Light Flow update that pushed out broke something. I backed up my settings, uninstalled it, rebooted, and expected my notification vibrations to continue working...
They didn't. I have it set to always vibrate both in sound settings and in all of my apps, but nothing seems to be working. I'm at a loss for ideas right now other then a factory reset. I am not rooted or unlocked yet, so I suppose it'd be a good chance to do it, but...
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Aha! I found the fix - for some reason, notification vibrations were disabled SEPARATELY from every other vibration. Like, not even in the apps. The application "Sound Manager" in the market was able to fix this.

Looks like you just beat me to suggesting using the app "sound manager". I refer people to this app after somebody managed to figure that out in the past.
Note lightflow itself only sends notifications to android to vibrate, there's nothing fancy going on regarding switching off vibrations in the app.
Yeah, I figured lightflow probably wasn't directly to blame since uninstalling it didn't fix the problem. I was just really worried about having to deal with a factory reset tonight, but I'm happy now!
Thank You

Thank you for posting this issue and your fix! I was having the exact same issue as you and could not figure out what the culprit was. Downloaded Sound Manager and found out vibration were set to off
Have any of you had problems waking your GN after installing LightFlow? I installed it after seeing this thread, and I can't wake my phone and have to pull the battery.

I just had this problem for the first time... I have lightflow installed.
Just tried Sound Manager V2, and set vibration to "vibrate whenever possible". Now all is well! Disappointing that this setting does not work in Android settings though.
OK this problem has been bugging me. Its started a few weeks back and i thought when i updated to 4.3 it would go away. But no luck.
Here is the problem. I have a Samsung S3 SGH I747M on Rogers was on 4.1.2 stock rom rooted. Now im on 4.3 stock rom rooted.
My phone keeps changing the notification/ all volumes on it own to very low. I can hardly hear it. I reboot my phone and its back to normal and all volumes are were i set them. Now i did notice that when it does go very low all my volume sliders go to the max position but everything will be very low.
Its driving me crazy. I have uninstalled several apps that i thought might be causing the problem but nothing seems to fix it. My next step is to do a factory reset. Which i really don't want to do as i have my phone set up the way i like it.
I'm hoping some of you phone gurus out there can help me find this annoyance.
Thanks.
Wow. No reply's. I guess nobody has had this problem before. Ill keep looking.
My volume dips occasionally, but I'm on pacman Rom with viper4android installed. In my case it happens when viper decides to randomly crash.

Did you have any audio mods installed ? If so then that might have caused the problem because to fully uninstall those you have to remove some of their system files or if they changed your build.prop you might have to undo the changes.
Other than that im not really sure what might be causing it.

I have the same issue. I uninstalled Ram Booster and disabled Power Savings Mode. Problem still exists but volume change is much less. Also ,it happens exactly when screen turns off. Factory reset did not solve it for me.

I just started experiencing this issue as well. Never noticed it before as I always had my phone on silent for school but now that im on vacation I turned the sound back on and I can't hear the locking and unlocking sounds unless the phone is right next to my ear. The keyboard and the basic touch sounds are very quiet too. Wondering if you managed to fix this problem ?

Hey Florad77,
Yes i did manage to fix it. Tasker is the culprit. Its not playing nice with the 4.3 update. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and everything was working fine. No volume changes. Then i set up some tasks, simple ones like turn off my Bluetooth when i leave my truck etc. And low and behold the sound issues came back. It must be when tasker trys to run tasks that it F,s everything up in the phones settings for sound. I just uninstalled it again and i also removed secure settings as well. Here is a review of Tasker from google play with the same sound problems.
Bob Porvan November 30, 2013
Sound notifications don't work... After the recent update, notifications stopped playing sound files, unlike always. A power related task keeps firing when it's not supposed to. 4.3.yuga.pac

I hope this fixes your problem. Mine is work just fine now after the uninstall.
Volume issues fixed.
OK. I was still having the problem even after deleting most of the apps i thought were causing the problem. But had no luck fixing the volume issue. I remembered my son saying he has had a problem with his phone not connecting to the Bluetooth also but his had a different error. So i asked him what his issue was and he said every time he tries to connect he gets an error saying "unable to play during call" So i googled his problem and found the answer and it fixed his Bluetooth error. I then checked my own settings and changed it also and if fixed mine.
So If you use text plus go to settings and unselect enable incoming calls, and that will fix the unable to play during call error when using your music player over Bluetooth. And like me if your also having volume issues after connecting to Bluetooth it will fix that also. Make sure to reboot your phone after the change.
I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me crazy for months now. I was so close to doing a factory reset and re flashing the rooted 4.3 rom again.

The problem with the volume that you are facing is because of a secret call in the background via Hangouts.
Basically Hangouts connects a call with someone in the background without user's interaction and phone goes into call mode.
And in call mode volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.
If you turn off Hangouts, you will not get this problem again.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps
This sounds really stupid but anyone else having a problem with the ringtone you select staying? I select a ringtone and then verify but every time I get my first call after it goes to dumb Verizon airwaves ringtone. My notification tones stick like normal. Just really getting annoying.
Thanks

Yeahp i had it...seemed to have stopped tho.
I'm still having the problem with the ringtone not staying. Still reverts the VZW Airwaves after first call. I checked to see if I disabled an app to cause this and struck out there. I'm wondering if its do not disturb. I keep it on always and only let contacts call.

I had this issue at first. Do you have ES File explorer? Mine was borked because of that. So i had to disable that from being default. Then it still wasn't working for my SMS only text tone so I switched from Hangouts to Google Messenger, changed the tone then switched back to Hangouts.
When I was doing that Hangouts had the right text tone selected but that wasn't what played. So i used "SMS" as default SMS account vs my Gmail then switched it back the be more organized and it worked. Haven't tried changing tone since so idk if thats needed each time

Okay good to hear. I'm just going to wait and deal with it since I will be exchanging for a new device. Thanks again for letting me know.
No problem
Been having this same issue on my replacement Note 7, (ringtone never switched to default on my original Note 7). I used Samsung cloud to restore some settings on my replacement Note 7 and that could be the culprit.
I really do not want to do a factory reset as I just spent a ton of time setting my phone back up this week.
I moved the ringtone from SD card to internal to see if that would fix it from reverting. Will see...
I had the issue on my original defective Note 7. Not having it on my new one.

Maybe unrelated, but are you using any kind of audio volume manager? Some of them (like AudioManager Pro) will store ringtone information, so when you toggle modes, the ringtone comes along for the ride (reverting one that you may have manually selected).
I put a brand new ringtone on my internal drive Ringtone folder yesterday and when I turned on my phone this morning, it had reverted back to the Verizon default ringtone again. Any ideas how to get the ringtone to stick other than a factory reset?
I love my new Pixel 2 XL but despite my best efforts to identify what app or system service was sending repeated (and annoying) default notification sounds but not showing any other message or indication, I finally hit on a solution that seems to work.
SET THE DEFAULT NOTIFICATION SOUND TO "NONE"
settings>sound>advanced>default notification sound
Then set the notification sounds to whatever you want for each app you actually care to hear from.

I have noticed this as well.
<notification sound> no new text or email...
For me, it's just easier to ignore the errant tone once in a while than to set notifications for individual apps (cause I'm totally lazy like that).
But THAT is the beauty of Android... to each their own and there are always multiple ways to skin that cat
Use a notification log
I had this same issue. Turned out to be an app I had disabled pop ups for.
I have a (potentially) better solution. Add a notification log widget to find the culprit:
1. Long press on home screen and go to widgets.
2. Drag the settings widget to the home screen.
3. In the list of options, choose Notifications
Now you can see a log of your notifications. Next time you get the sound but no pop up, go into the log and find the offender at the top of the list.
For me it was a game I didn't need so I deleted it, but you can remedy the problem as you see fit.

Glad you found it! Sorry I just saw this. I forget where I learned about this, but it wasn't easy to find. I'm glad I could pass it on to someone else, I'm sure it could be plenty useful.
I'm having the same issue but it's not even showing in the notification log. Makes me want to throw it out the window to be honest. There's time where it will go off every 30 seconds. Off to reset I guess and see if that works.
same thing here pixel 2 oreo 8.1 notification sound...no thing new in the "hot list" or email or message

2019 and no change
Hello, same issue still persists in 2019. Every few weeks i must dump the default sound as it sets it self up again.
Still no idea why it does it, just a temp bandaid to curb the annoyance. I notice a slightly higher battery drain too, tells me something is running

Sounds like a re-install is in order...if you have an unlocked bootloader, when was the last time you've done an update via Full Factory image? I'd imagine all that might be sorted out by reinstall/updating; with the "-w" removed of course...
I hope you consider it, and I hope this helps...
