first bug! sound error

ran into my first bug last night and i have no idea what it stemmed from. basically, after a day of playing with my new motorola droid, my sound went almost to silent. at first i thought it was my locale profiles going a little whacky, but an uninstall of that didn’t fix the problem. i also played with the actual sound settings manually and nothing seemed to work.

basically, when i had someone try to call me, the ringtone was about as faint as you can get. and if i hung up on the person, the volume would then crank up to its normal level for a split second. too weird.

so what fixed it? a reboot. i call it a reboot because this is really a computer and sometimes, after a tough day of tweaks, you need a reboot and a fresh start.

anyone else experience a sound bug?

It’s not often that you get to merge personal passions into a professional life, but that’s what Kellen did when he launched Droid Life in 2009. After working years of unsatisfying jobs in the medical and property management fields, he took a risk to try and create an online community while playing with the coolest gadgets on the planet each day, a risk that has turned out to be incredibly rewarding. Outside of Droid Life, Kellen is your typical Portlander who drinks way too much good beer, complains often about the Trail Blazers, and can be found out on the streets for a run, rain or shine.

Still kind of new to this site and not sure why there are no comments here but thought I would mention that I have had this same problem. I have found that if I put the person on speaker phone then take them off, the sound volume in the ear piece returns to normal. This seems to happen if I am playing either music or a game when the call arrives. Loving the site. Thanks Kellex
