[Q] Headset Problem - Just me ?

I just got a Galaxy W 2 days back, and I absolutely love it, but there is this one issue I am constantly facing.
Whenever I use my headphones, after removing them, the Music ( or whatever audio an app has ) gets routed through the top speaker
(Image Attached) . Although I found a workaround, i.e calling someone on handsfree mode does the trick, Can't find any permanent fix.
Would be glad if someone here could help me out with it. I can't figure out if its a hardware problem or a software bug.

Nope didn't happend to me.
try go to 2.3.6 via kies or auto apdate from the phones settings, maybe it will fix it.

It is already 2.3.6 I updated it as soon as I got it. Will go to service centre today.

But do you have the latest 2.3.6 version?

Does it always do this? You probably have installed an app that might have been messing with your phone's audio. This has never happened to me before.

I bought the phone hardly 4 days back, Yes, happened from the moment I bought it, with no apps installed. Tried ToggleHeadset, but that did not work either.

What is your version and the built date?

sound strange , it didnt happen to me.. maybe u should approach samsung customer service..

Assuming that you tried a different headset and it still doesn't work, I suggest returning the phone as well.

That would be a good idea!

Hey guys,
Just got it back from the Samsung Centre, they say it was a software issue. ( Though its still LA2) Anyways, its solved now.

And what they did with your phone? Factory defaults or what?

I've been having this same problem. I'm glad to hear it's a software problem. I toyed with the idea of sending my phone off to Samsung but I'm glad I didn't now. Especially as I'm planning on rooting soon once I've done a bit more reading up (it's my first android, feels strange to be a beginner with something again, takes a while to learn all the little tricks).
Anyway I posted the following to Android Forums a couple of weeks ago, with no reply (I can see this forum is much more active).
"A problem I've been having recently (not exactly sure when it first happened) is that I'll go to watch a video and instead of the sound coming out of the loudspeaker, it comes out of the handset/phone speaker (not sure what you call it, the one above the screen for putting your ear to). Needless to say it's way too quiet to hear anything properly. It's happened randomly now about 6 or 7 times. I've had to restart the phone every time to remedy the problem. It's getting kinda annoying.
Also I think my headphone volume may be playing up. Not sure if it's related, but there's been times where at full volume music has been pretty underwhelming (I know about the dreaded EU volume cap (which I hope to remedy with a forthcoming root once I've read more up on the subject), no - it seemed even quieter). I'm almost sure there's something wrong because all of a sudden earlier today while listening to some sounds the volume jumped up to what seemed more akin to a maximum volume.
Could these two problems be related? And if so could anyone suggest what I could do to sort this out? Perhaps a factory reset (which I understand I'll have to do if I want to root anyway)? I really don't want to have to send it off for repair. I dunno if I could part with my new favourite toy lol."
Anyway OP you're not alone. Glad to hear you got it sorted. Mine's an XXKK1 btw, although I don't really know what that means.

They updated firmware (try updating it) and then set it to factory default.

RSX....Hi
Are you 2.3.6 or 2.3.5??
The XXKK1......means in Sammy code

Problem with S2 going into silent mode on its own

I have had my own SGS2 since it came out and have had no issues at all. I got one for my gf and gave it to her a few days ago and she already has experienced some strange issues. The most important of those issues is that the phone randomly (and quite frequently) goes into silent mode. It happens in the middle of normal use or if the phone is just sitting on the table. Its definitely not a matter of accidentally hitting the volume button or something like that. This is an issue because she is missing all her calls and notifications. The phone is rooted and is running GB 2.3.5 ....Anyone have any idea how to fix this? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Same here too .. I have tried so many roms to get rid of this problem ,,, but same

I thought I was just crazy! My phone does this all the time. Very annoying.

My phone has been doing that from day 1, I thought it must be somehow a changed setting while in my pocket (it it moving or something)...nice to know that it isn't just my phone

Yea I have no idea what it is ..strange. I don't know if her phone still has the problem. According to her it doesn't happen anymore but then again she has her phone on vibrate 99.9% of the time so I can't really know if it is still changing on its own

it is very annoying...I have missed important phone call because of it. I just did not think it was the phone doing it on its own (strange issue for a phone to have). I don't think I have heard of any other phone doing such a thing.

Did you find any solution to this annoyance? I am facing this for quite sometime and don't have a clue on how to fix this

[Q] Phone reboots when I close the gamepad

This is not a ROM-specific issue - it has been an irritating thing for me over the past year. It has happened on CM7/9/10, MIUI, any custom rom actually. Rather irritating when you wanna switch from gaming to texting etc (which is what I often do).
Just wondering if anyone found a fix. Thanks!

A broken hinge?

I have this issue as well. Whenever I open or close my play, it reboots. If I apply pressure as I slide out the gamepad, it works normally. Most likely a loose hinge or something.

Its not a software issue its a hardware issue for sure because my xperia play reboots when I close the slide on any rom. I'm not very tech savvy nor am I afraid of opening my xperia play I just don't know how the slide on the xperia play ticks. It can be number of things it can be slide, flex, the screen I have no clue. If someoone has a hardware fix on this please share.

Had this problem on stock rom but after flashing cola it's yet to happen.
Maybe I got lucky, IDK, it might be worth a try if it's bothering you too much.

There is a contact problem with your battery and the phone

This is not from your Rom. It is from your battery. Remove the battery use a paper to make it more firm as you put the battery inside the phone. I had the same problem but now I can slide my xperia PLAY open as hard and fast as u want without it rebooting.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED

That doesn't work for me. I had to open my xperia play and replace the flex cable and now no reboots. The flex cable on my xperia play has alot of wear and tear in it.

I gave my R800at to my brother and today it begin to reboot when sliding in or out, it was a little lose, but not much.
I opened it, the flex cable seemed to be secure so I don't know specifically what caused it to reboot. But I tried to secure all the connections and tighten all the screws in the phone and it fixed the problem. No doubt I feel the problem will reoccur again in the future. I does seem sliding out the gamepad slowly and with some pressure down help.
To open the phone you need to use a Torque screw driver with the size "T5", you can get it at Lowe or Home Depot.

Random sluggish performance that requires reboot?

Hello everyone. I've been experiencing a problem lately that has me scratching my head. The phone for no reason and at random times because super sluggish like the frame rate or something is super low.. It seems to be most apparent in the launcher.. It happens at random even if the phone is cool or hot. Happens on touchwiz launcher as well as nova launcher.. Clearing ram and open apps doesn't work... The only thing that makes the phone go back to normal is a reboot. This also happens on any custom ROM. With stock or custom kernel.. So.is this a CPU hardware problem? Has anyone else had this happen? It's already been happening quite often and its becoming annoying. Factory resets don't solve it either as it comes back randomly. If anyone can shed some light please do.

I would contact T-Mobile it could be a phone problem if you are seing it after an Odin back to stock. That would be my only suggestion is an Odin back but since you already did that I would see about getting the phone switched out

How could I prove to them that this is worthy of a warranty replacement? I can't seem to reproduce the problem.. It just happens..I thought Odin would solve the problem too but then it just randomly happened

Explain to tmobile what's happening and let them know you want a new device. they are very easy to work with and tmobile won't make you prove anything. Ive been with tmobile for ten years now. Trust me they are easy to work with if you explain the situation and let them know it clearly interferes with your ability to use the device as it should be used. You should have ZERO problems with returning the device. By the way sounds like your device DOES have serious problems so id call tmobile as soon as possible. They MIGHT try trouble shooting it FIRST as this is procedure they HAVE to follow simply let them know after trouble shooting that your issue IS STILL PRESENT and they will exchange your device for a new one without issue...so call them asap. You won't have any trouble. You will see. They are very EASY to work with so NO WORRIES. Call and get your device exchanged NOW. Hope this helps you out. I've had a LOT of expirence working with tmobile. It won't be a problem. Youll see. Best wishes to you and hope you get this matter resolved today.

I'll have to agree here. I've had many issues over the years (anyone remember the LG G2X?), and they will stand by you. Sometimes you have to squawk loudly, but they want you to be happy...
Unlike Sprint.....I hate Sprint
Edit: If you're not happy with their response, just escalate it to Customer retention...they have the real power.

I had bad lag when I was trying to text, send an email, or anything involving using the keyboard. I flashed a ROM thinking that would take care of the issue . It didnt, still had hang ups and lag. I flashed back to stock and received a new phone and havent had an issue yet.

Xperia M touchscreen stops responding randomly

Hi, Im new to the forum but used roms for another device in the past.
I wasnt able to find information regarding to this trough days, my phone touchscreen stops working randomly on stock rom [15.1.c.1.17], have anyone had this problem? Is it sw or hw related?
Thanks, phone is awesome when the ts works but this is driving me crazy... thanks

If you haven't modify the software then it must be hardware related.
What modifications did you do? Did it have the problem from the start(when you bought it)?

If it doesn't happen under specific conditions (for instance, while playing the game, or during the call), it is most likely hardware related, my best bet is that screen digitizer is either faulty or not connected properly to the motherboard. Have you dropped/spilled something on your phone? If not, you should return your phone for a warranty repair.

Its randomly occuring, its fixed after reboot or it will work itself again after a while, sometimes a couple of minutes others a couple hours, phone is new, bough on jan 17. Havent dropped it or spilled anything on it... problem is I updated from stock rom from the provider to an official by sony and dont have a backup of it :/.

Update to the newest version ends in 2.8 that's the newest one see if that helps
