Lose sound output/input until reboot

For some odd reason, my wife's phone will randomly lose sound output and input.
For instance, cannot make calls because no sound is heard through speaker and it seems the mic becomes non-functioning, therefore the person on the other line hears nothing.
I've noticed at the same time that no other sounds (system, media, key presses, etc.) can be heard as well.
If the phone is rebooted the problem is fixed. This problem occurs usually once or twice a day. Its running a nearly stock 2.1 w/ root (although no root apps used or installed), I have also tried a different custom rom and have the same issue.
Any ideas? (I have searched and read up on some things, but did not see a definitive answer)
** Working on a fix now **

DrewX2, I'm having the same exact problem. Thought I was crazy! So I have the Damageless 2.08.1 (Android 2.1) ROM installed, and I thought I was being punished for not using Sprint's official ROM image . But you say that your wife's phone exhibited this behavior in more than one setup? What do you mean by "nearly stock"? Maybe someone out there knows of a way to look or download the internal error logs on the Android platform so we can at least get some stack trace info? Thanks!

Here guys, try this thread.

This is the exact fix I installed. So far no problems, will report back in a day or two.
Also, for the earlier question, when I said nearly stock, I should have said I am using nfinitefx45's Stock Sprint Deoxed ROM.

Random Reboots?

Not sure what is going on. I experienced it on stock rom, and I'm also experiencing it on Android Revolution HD Rom.
It seems like whenever the phone is tasked by an app opening or closing, I experience a random reboot.
Anyone know whats causing it?

Yeap me too, but only after closing final fantasy IV.. Dunno what's the deal here

Me, too, but I didn't catch any regularity, yet.
I am on stock ROM.
One time a had a crash report from htc, but most times I only realize it, because I have to re-enter my pin.
Today I realised, that long-pressing the power-button does restart the phone without any other input.
Maybe it's that?

I'm using developer edition and have been suffered from heavily random reboot.
The phone rarely rebooted (2 or 3 times) while I was using it but just kept rebooting if I left it idle (5 reboots in 20 mins). I cannot reproduce the reboot because it was so random. One day, it just kept me annoying by rebooting itself more than a dozen time. The other day it just went super smooth and stable. This reboot has been happening on both completely stock and custom (Rom, kernel).
Anyone got a clue?

If you know a certain action is causing the reboot get a logcat, there's an app called catlog on the play store. Press record, repeat the action, after it reboots get the logcat and post it here

Same issue here! I'm using TrickDroid though. Has anyone tried this with 4.2.2 to see if it still happens?

I'm using Android Revolution ROM on 4.2.2., same thing. It happens once in a blue moon, and it's only on wake when I hit the power button. The whole phone freezes and reboots.
Is everyone here on the Developer's Edition?

I'm having the same issue, dev edition stock except recovery, and root. Some days it reboots, other days its fine. Not exactly sure whats up w/ that
Sent from my HTC One

I'm gonna go ahead and bump this, seeing as I'm facing the same issue on my 2 day old device.
At first I thought it was a problem with 4.1.2, but even after upgrading to 4.2.2 the issue is still there.

ViperOne 2.1.0 the same trouble
Hello,
I confirm the same problem on ViperOne ROM. I have tried out ElementalX 3.4 and Bulletproof kernels. But it seems to be kernel independent.
I attached the log, my configuration is as described in my signature except that I use Bulletproof kernel right now.
It is quite frustrating cause I just wanted to play a movie on my TV using Hama MHL cable, but everytime I connect my phone to the adapter the phone reboots, then it gets stuck on HTC logo, then I have to reboot it manually holding power button. I am also experiencing a reboot right after phone boots up.
This is such a serious issue that I am thinking of going back to stock kernel, but I am not sure if it will help
Any hints?
EDIT: I just installed stock kernel, but still the same, really does not seem to be a problem of the kernel
EDIT2: still trying to find the out whats the problem, I did a clean reinstallation of everything, even w/o using Titanium Backup, well, MHL still causes reboots

[Q] Audio stops working from time to time

Hi everyone!
I have a strange problem with my Droid 4: sometimes it stops playing sounds (or music, or ringtones), and I can't figure out if there's something in particular that triggers this. Anyway the only fix I could find is rebooting the phone.
There's another problem though: when this happens, if I try to use the phone app or the contacts app, the app itself hangs before I can do anything. If I kill the hanged app and retry a few times, the phone reboots itself.
Any idea on what could be causing this? What could I try to diagnose the problem?
I'm using a Verizon-branded Droid 4 with CM10.1.3, but I had the problem on 10.1.2 too. If it's relevant, I had to install "Tobby's mod" to enable GSM (I'm in Europe)
Many thanks for your attention!

This is the only and the known problem with droid4 on cm10.1 cm10.2 but I have a very good experience with the latest nightlies using buildprop editor to change only the telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0. Don't use the patch and se if it helps for you.

I have that property "zeroed" already, do you mean I should try reverting Tobby's mod?

Try the latest nightlies, there are some changes regarding to apns, it's updatable from cm10.1 and make only that change don't apply any patch.

I've seen this on stock, and I think it's related to bluetooth - perhaps it's not releasing the audio properly after a device disconnects?
There's an app in the Play Store called "Earpiece", and I can use that to bring the audio back when that happens by switching it on, and then switching it off again.
HTH.
Steve.

I don't use bluetooth at all, but I'll try Earpiece, thanks

the problem is that it will crash before you realize and you will loose the next call, so I don't think it is of some use.
I tried latest nightly and safestrap 3.65 (from 3.63) and I had lots of black screens, several on one day and then I realize that before, I had it working stable on cm10.1 when I found out that noop was the problem, cfq and deadline was ok (after speaking with hashcode it made the default to cfq) but it was on safestrap 3.11, but then newer versions of safestrap appeared and I updated it and from time to time it started to go bad again.
I reverted back to 3.11 and I have it working ok since 17.11.2013 (almost 2 days of stable, finger crossed)
I would ask hascode if safestrap can be a problem, but now he has retired in supporting the d4, of course this can be applied to razr

the 05 fromm stargo is not so ok, the previous was stable, or at least I didn't had problems.
I'll try the 07, I have problems with deep sleep and I don't know why, because for now wakelocks can't be accessed on 4.4, then again is not a new install, is an upgrade from 10.2
the strange thing is that now I have another error in catlog when it goes out of sound compared to the error when it is on the gsm patch, maybe I'll try a test without changing build.prop at all, in the end it doesn't matter if the signal icon is wrong as long as it's stable.

Hey! Joril! I posted in your other thread, on another forum, about this same topic, but I figure that I'd get comfy here, since the Droid 4 "scene" has seemingly migrated from DroidForums to this website.
Anyway, I haven't been able to fix the problem. In fact, at one point, when the audio died, I went through the typical steps - I turned off Bluetooth, and reset the phone. However, when the phone was "coming back", so to speak, an "Android is upgrading" box popped up. Odd, I thought, since I didn't do anything different. Anyway, it gets through this, and... I get an UID error. Something about the UID being inconsistent with the system, and that the data partition was terribly unstable.
So, my phone was freaking out. Great. I was missing several apps, and the whole device is incredibly unstable - apps are crashing, left and right, as well as background services. It is at this point that I decide to bite the bullet and restore my phone to stock settings.
I do so. I use the Droid 4 Utility, restore the stock ROM, getting rid of Safestrap 3.11 in the process. Everything's back to normal. Stabilized. I commence to rooting the phone, installing the latest version of Safestrap, and installing CyanogenMod 10.1.3. I get it running, and... the problems remain. I still have the same audio issues. MMS is still iffy. GPS is a hit-or-miss process; every once in a while, if the planets align, a system reboot will "fix" GPS.
Anyway, that's my story. I've been doing some research - or, rather, a lot of research - and it seems to me that the audio problem was, perhaps, fixed in the latest CyanogenMod 11 build. Something about the previous code not playing well with the "Audio HAL", whatever that is, and the Audio HAL issue being consistent with other phones with the same processor, I believe - or something to do with an "MSM8660". I believe that "MSM8660" is a Snapdragon processor, but I could be wrong!
To make a long story short: CyanogenMod 10.1.3 seems to be stuck with the audio/crashing issue, but CyanogenMod 11 may fix it. I'm not ready to make the jump to CyanogenMod 11, though, not until it is FULLY stabilized and out of Experimental/Alpha/Nightly status. In that regard, I wonder how open Stargo, Hashcode, or another coder would be to patching up 10.1.3 with the GPS/MMS fixes that have been seen in the later builds? I don't know how to code, but it should be relatively simple to patch the few crippling bugs remaining on 10.1.3, using code from future builds and versions.

Right now I'm on a CM10.2 nightly and the audio issue appears a bit less than when on 10.1, I'd say once every 5/6 days instead of once every other day... Anyway I'd like to wait a bit more before trying CM11 too

CM11 has this issue also, but the error will not be the same if the build.prop has only lteoncdma modified, for me, if I apply the full gsm patch the error will appear more often and catlog will show the cpu pegged error.
the problem with CM11 (for me) is no deep sleep, the sound issue is not so important anymore

[Q] camera issues

I've tried browsing the forums, and even locating the post talking about the fix for the camera, and I simply can't find it. I really don't want to go without a phone seeing as my job requires my phone, but it really sucks not having a camera or a flashlight toggle.
I've seen some people that have indicated its a physical issue, however, it sporadically starts working again. Note: I would like to avoid doing the super data wipe as I'm also having computer issues at the same time. If someone needs me to post a catalog, I will need help Learning what to filter out in order to upload only the necessary info.
I've tried wiping the data through twrp advanced wipe, and of course the dalvik cache has been wiped many-a-time. Any help would be appreciated!

Um...I don't think you even explain you problem. Might want to elaborate a bit.

No matter what ROM I use, no matter what camera I try to install, I cannot get it to consistently work. More often than not, cannot connect to camera. I feel like its a setting or file sticking on the "SD card" that is interfering. I also cannot use the flashlight toggle, and parts of Google+ and gallery crash at times. This has been intermittently occurring since my first flash. Blissful ROM v1.7 twrp 2.8.4.0
Tried every wipe except for the one that makes me type yes. I've already flashed boot.IMG to disable decryption, and I'm starting to think that may have something to do with it.
I was under the impression I had twrp 2.8.4.0, but after double checking, it looks like it was stuck on 2.8.2.1. I flashed the newer version from twrp manager, and now my camera is working. I didn't do anything other than install the new recovery. And yes I've tried rebooting my phone in the past. This may be a temporary fix, but I'll report back tomorrow on whether it is still working. This is very odd.

Andddddddd it stopped working again. Super legit.

Might be similar to my issue.
My camera started only showing front facing..even the option for back facing wasn't there. Did wipes in recovery and app settings. Would work, it seemed, but would revert right back to not working. At one point the camera app wasn't appearing in the app drawer at all even though it was shown in "all apps".
This occurred on stock and custom ROMs. I was advised to try flashing factory IMG but I'm well within the warranty period ( phone less than 2weeks) so I'm locking it back up and have a replacement on the way from ATT...
* I also noticed the issue starting while I was on bliss ROM 1.7

My camera is really shaky and won't focus correctly in landscape mode. I returned the first phone I had for basically the same thing because it wasn't focusing in portrait mode but looked fine in landscape. I haven't seen anyone else have this issue. At first I thought the camera was inconsistent but if you zoom in you can see that it doesn't focus properly.

I'm starting to wonder why there are so many people experiencing the same or similar camera issues. The only reason I'm starting to think that it is software based and not entirely hardware based is because I was having this same issue (cannot connect to camera) on my sgs5 with cm based Roms.
I'm not saying any of this makes sense, its just strange. I wish we could help troubleshoot what the root of this problem is instead of just RMAing the device. I'm afraid to RMA with T-Mobile.

you better do it before its too late. id rma it.

There is no sdcard.
Try going back to factory sysimage, and data wipe.
Are you using any "added in" camera software? If so, what?

Similar issue. Get errors "Unfortunately, camera has stopped" or "cannot connect to camera." I picked up the phone right before a 2 week vacation so unfortunately I can't bring back to AT&T. Hopefully Moto plays nice. Problems originally occurred on stock 5.0 before the 5.0.1 update. Since AT&T was lagging on OTA, I flashed to the official BlissPop rom but I have the same problems. Sometimes it'll work like it's supposed to for a couple days but always reverts back to the errors. Nothing like being at the top of a mountain in Hawaii and "cannot connect to camera" right????Since I've read about this happening on so many different firmware variations, I have to believe it's a hardware issue.

I have only had issues with the stock camera app. Ive been running Pure Shamu for 2.5 weeks now and only using the Google Camera app from the play store (the one with HDR+ and the icon has the lens filled with rainbow colors) with absolutely no issues and only getting excellent quality pictures.

Had the issue where the camera wouldn't focus and everything on the screen gets jiggly and wavy like there's some sort of interference. I had motion sickness looking at the screen. Called Moto for an advance replacement and after a week of delay due to stock issue...somehow they were kind enough to upgrade me to a CW 64gb model. I hope it's new and no more camera issues.

Has everyone who got the 'no-focuse OIS' issue gotten new phone on RMA?
I took mine to repair few days ago and they said that they won't give me a new phone instantly, rather they try to fix the OIS. Not sure how that is going to work..?
They also suggested that this issue might be "self inflicted" or just an "feature" of the camera itself. fml.

I returned mine to stock, unroot/locked boot loader, factory reset, before shipping it off and the camera issue was still there. Maybe hardware related I'm thinking.

Something rather peculiar Ive noticed...
I didn't really pinpoint this until today, but the camera very consistently starts working when you go into fastboot, load the recovery, and then boot into system. I'm really, sincerely not quite sure why this would be happening, but I still feel like it has something to do with boot.IMG
If any devs can point me in the right direction to try and track down the possibility of this being an issue, I'd love to potentially fix a bunch of people's camera issues (albeit there is probably also a hardware defect direct from moto).
Is logcat going to pick up on issues that originate from boot?

Not the issue I'm explaining though. This is a bit more deeply seeded of an issue. When I boot directly into the ROM, my twrp installer says I'm back on 2.8.2.1, but when I boot into fastboot and then twrp, and then ROM, it says 2.8.4.0 and my camera works. This is legitimately weird as ****.

It appears a bit more stable now. I tried flashing twrp from my computer and it seems to be a bit more nice. That and normal reboot to twrp doesn't say 2.8.2.1 - let me check twrp manager now.
And my camera and flashlight have worked for almost three days now. Dafuq.

Same issue. "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped."
No flash light available, only front camera working, clicking on HDR exits the app with the aforementioned error message.
Has anyone solved this issue?
I was on 5.1 stock (with root) and now I've updated to 5.1.1, but with no change to the Camera behaviour.

Earphone not working for calls

I had a very strange issue with my earphones today noon, all of a sudden it stopped working can't hear anything through it, but Loudspeaker is working fine for both incoming and out going calls.
I tried all the solutions posted on the Motorola thread and XDA still no luck, I am running Paranoid android 5.1.1 version. I have a stock ROM backup in my twrp as I am out of town and no WiFi around me I don't feel like restoring back to it.
Does anyone running custom ROM faced the same issue? What was the work around?
device hasn't fallen from me not a single time through out last 4 months of using it. I have seen posts on similar issue for stock 5.1 noting for custom ROMs.
Tried restart, clearing cache and cleaning the headphone Jack no luck so far.
Solution mentioned to turn off hearing aid is not present in the dialer app of PA.
Help needed here plz.
