At some point while I slept last night, my Moto G (running KitKat) decided that I didn't need functional audio. I overslept, missing an appointment, and on waking, I was informed by the phone that I had missed my alarm. I've never missed an alarm before, so I decided to see what my audio settings were. Sure enough, alarm volume was maxed out, but then I noticed that I wasn't getting a little beep on the volume slider when I adjusted the phone volume manually. Going to YouTube, I realized the phone wasn't transmitting sound at all. Using my expert IT knowledge, I turned it off and on, and it has worked since.
The problem? I can't trust this thing now. I don't know what caused this issue, and while it's working for the time being, I can't rely on it for incoming calls to be audible, or for my alarms –*for anything requiring audio, really. Since it managed to do this last night without me interfering, how am I to know when it'll do this again? There was no warning of this problem. I never did anything to change the audio settings, and indeed, they were all at full volume. The only thing I did that made any difference either way was restart the phone to fix the issue.
If anyone has experience with this issue, please let me know. Just last night, I was raving about how wonderful the Moto G is for a budget phone. Today, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. This is an intolerable flaw.
