Intermittent sound problem on g pad - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, I couldn't find a solution online, so thought should ask here.
So gurus, could i borrow ur brains here for a sec. The problem I'm facing is, sometimes sound from my g pad suddenly stops working, i mean no sound at all from the speakers, but starts working after a while or after a restart or if a skype call comes in and u receive it, then starts working again.
I'm thinking skype might be the culprit, I mean i havent tested it heavily, but last night either i was calling someone on skype and the otherside didn't pick up and call cancelled itself or was talking to someone on skype and then noticed after a while, the same no sound issue when i turned the screen on and what i did was bring up recent apps and clicked clear all and magically sound is back
The problem is, can't seem to find anyone else having this problem. And it seems intermittent, sometimes everything works and sometimes there's not sound when i turn the screen on and there are skype missed calls

sorry forgot to add, its an lg g pad 8.3 v500 20d, non GPe
and has got latest official 4.4.2(wonder why isnt there any 4.4.4 out there for this) and latest skype

mic randomly stops working

hi there
im a new user to the rhodium phone
been using it for a few days now and ive noticed that when im on a call after a few mins into the call, the other person cannot hear me
has anyone else had this problem?
cheers
Mic comes and goes
Yes i had this problem with my Tytn2 and the TouchPro2.
Not sure why?
Is there a software tweak or cab we can use to fix this?
I noticed on the nexus one it only happens when noise cancelling is on. When I have a conversation or use voice actions. If I record a video though it works perfectly

[Q] Speaker Issues

Hi,
I've been using a DESIRE HD for a long time , suddenly an issue has cropped up
1) My phone automatically uses the speaker when i receive or make a call !
Any Idea why is this happening?
i had the same issue for the last few weeks. i couldn't find a fix so ive just got into a habit of hitting speaker as soon as i make or recieve a call (to turn it OFF speakerphone) But...
the issue has now developed! one i make/recieve a call, and turn off speaker, the speaker continues to flick on and off throughout my call, mainly as it moves, depends on the tilt of the phone during the call. its like an overly sensitive exaggeration of the "flip for speaker" feature, as it happens when its vertical. thing is, ive turned this feature on and off many times to try and resolve it, but it still happens!
has anyone got any ideas that might help???
thanx

When making a call, can't hear calling unless on speaker, also, i dont have SMMI Test

Like i said in the title, i cant hear the dial tone when making a call(unless on the speaker), if the person im calling answer the call, i cant hear him, if its me answering the call, the other person cant hear me neither. I tried to use the SMMI Test to see if it was a hardware problem, but when i use the code on the calculator nothing happens, also i tried safe mode to see if it was a software problem but the problem remains. It's the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML if it matters.
Well you can turn on the dial pad tone in the phone settings. but the problem with you not hearing them and them not hearing you, that's something else. I've had to send my phone back twice for an issue like that. they say they replace the Motherboard, but the issues is still there. on and off. maybe this thread can stay around to get some different views on the issue.

Me too facing the same problem..any solution to this?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA-Developers mobile app
Disable ok Google from any screen option or uninstall Google update which is causing this problem then test.
After uninstall Google wipe cache partition then reboot.
Third Party App "SoundAbout" may be helpful

I had similar problem with my HTC one X , after I flashed some patch for sound enhancements. I searched on google then found a solution on reddit which suggested to use a third party app named "SoundAbout". It routes the speaker sound to earpiece. has many settings and thus may be useful. I could still use my old HTC one X with this and satisfied. This is not a permanent solution to the root cause but at least it is useful to some extent.

How to fix microphone issues in-call?

Hi Im running Lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20170306-nightly-d855-signed) on my Lg G3 (d855), with latest TWRP and no superSU flashed
.
I have issues with in-call volume. The person Im talking to can only hear me if I speak "to" a specific place on my phone.
If I have headphones plugged in I have to hold my phone's top part to my mouth, if I don't have them plugged in I have to speak to the bottom part. Its really weird because when I speak to the proper place the audio is fine but if I try to speak to the other end the audio cuts out completely, no matter how loudly I shout.
It seems that the phone detects that Im speaking to the "wrong" microphone. And if the sound at the wrong microphone is louder it just silences me completely.
For example: If I shout into the bottom with headphones plugged in im completely silent for the other person, but if I whisper into the top Im completely audible.
Can someone please help? It's really annoying. Thanks!
I have the same problem (my voice is not heard by the caller). I have already edited build.prop, mixer_paths, and nothing worked. I used Magisk with an OPO-specific module and it did not work either.
Hey! I just bought a LG G3 and installed LineageOS. My Microphone does not work, too! I tried to record my voice with a recoding app. It was not possible to understand my voice, because the sound was like a massive scratching noise.
Are we really the first people finding this bug and there are no other people using the LG G3 with LineageOS?
Or maybe Kr3Ep, Aloquio and myself, we are just affected by a hardware fault?
I upgraded my Phone app by installing Google's phone app. Then I rebooted. This fixes the issue for me. (I'm on Lineage nightly on Samsung Galaxy S7).
I tried this and it didn't work. I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed yet.

Problem with mic

Hello!
I have bought recently a Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra and I´m experiencing this problem with its microphone. Sometimes when Im recording a voice message in WhatsApp, the mic sort of "shuts off" in the middle of recording, where my friend then hears some static noises and the voice message ends abruptly, even though it should have run longer. Has anyone experienced the same problem and could tell me how to solve this?
Thanks!

The problem is an issue with microphone permissions from another app that is still running in the background. For me it seems that Facebook messenger seems to disable my microphone entirely. Any video recorded with my camera has no audio. Snapchat no audio, can't use speakerphone during a call but regular phone calls with phone up to head work fine. I've been using an appkiller to disable all running apps and this eliminates the issue. This has been a problem since I bought the phone in august or july, along with anything audio played from the phone cutting off gradually as if someone was slowly turning down the volume. I'd check the volume and it was up to max. Sony issued an update in august that seemed to fix the problem but now it's back as of the last update a few weeks ago. I'm also having problem with bluetooth turning off as soon as it turns on and white bright spots behind the screen that bestbuy tells me is water damage however the phone has never near anything wet ever.

Hmm interesting! I didn´t install Facebook Messenger on my phone, so it must be some other app, that the mic has a problem with, I´ll play around with them then. But thank you for your reply, hopefully Sony will release another update soon, that will fix these issues! Although I didn´t encounter any problems with audio, bluetooth or the screen spots ... yet :laugh: Sounds terrible though!
Having similar problem mic works when it wants to but will not work in regular calls didn't have this problem until the oreo update and Sony has no clue how to fix it they replaced the mic but it still fails it passes all test just won't work in call. Tried to reset used the Sony repair app, prayed to all the gods so I knew at least one heard me and nothing.
