Recently whenever I answer/make calls my g3 automatically goes into headset mode without a headset present, upon ending the call it goes right back to normal. Any ideas on whats causing calls to be in headset mode or any ways to manually prevent this?

Are you on a custom rom? Any sound apps installed? Did you try Hard-Reset? Seems like a broken headpiece or a bad routing policy.

No, Nope, Yes. It only goes into headset mode during phone calls for some reason, if I play a video or anything its perfectly fine.

Howdy all,
The other day my other halfs' Wildfires' speaker decided to stop working for no reason. Can still make phonecalls etc, and the headphones work, but its like its stuck on silent all the time!
Read somewhere it could be to do with a recently installed app, so factory reset it but no change. Also saw it could be something to do with something in the headphone socket not clicking back properly when they are removed, but she's never used the headphones, but tried that anyway, still with no luck.
Never been flashed or anything, totally standard.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Tarq

Perhaps it is me, but what do you mean by this?
1. You cannot go out of silent mode in terms of "set phone volume to vibrate or noice" by using the volume buttons. In that case:
- make sure that your volume buttons work (by using them to regulate audio of, for example, your radio).
- try if you can solve the problem by going into "options of your phone - sound".
If they do not work, try to flash a ruu. If still not solved, I'm afraid you should open your phone to see if the connectors of the volume buttons are still in place (i've had this with my previous phone). But perhaps wait for other advice before doing so
2. You can get out of the silent ringer mode, but still the phone doesnt make any noice. My best guess then is that it related to software in the system folder which controls your device at the system level, or perhaps with the kernel?
I do not know if the the systemfolder is restored when you do a factory reset..
It couldn't do harm if you flash a ruu in my opinion. The all software related issues are ruled out then.
It can't be the hardware as you can still hear people talking to you while phoning without headset. Nor can it be a messed up jack-in, as all the sound should be transfered to the headphone, and it shouldn't be possible to call and here people without headset.
To summerize: I think it is still software, and that it should be possible to solve it by flashing a kernel or restoring bynusing a RUU.

Hello,
the sound quality is very bad. The strange thing is, the problem occurs only using the phone app. I am using the stock phone app.
Any idea? I need help. All other things are working but I can't use the phone to make calls. It sounds like distortion ... . Already the sound during ringing has the problem.
The problem only occurs with the internal front speaker. No problem if I use the rear loudspeaker or headphones.
Is there a wait to solve the problem?
Call Sample
Hello,
here is an call sample. I know the quality is not perfekt beacause of the notebook fan. I call another phone and after ringing the mailbox of the called person starts. Especially at the end were the mailbox voice occurs the problem is very clear. It is nearly impossible to understand what is said.
Is this the normal sound of the internal speaker (front)?

Hello,
thanks for the answer. Found the following thread.

Strange thing I am also using this phone in Europe. I am quite sure the problem is not a hardware problem. Because if I use the phone with VoIP service app, the speaker just works ok.
I would try a clean flash of a custom rom, factory reset maybe (was it always bad?..)? I also had problems with the internal speaker, if I have set the volume higher than half, it made crackle sounds. But it was a hardware issue, (in skype, fring,viber also had this problem). I had to send it back to the usa, cause I live in europe and literally no one could fix it here because of the lack of hardware. I had to live without my phone for a month.. annoying thing, but now it's ok

First of the time after buying I didn't use the phone for calling. With Skype I will try again. Also the VOIP test. How did you manage the repair? With ATT or Samsung?
Its not only because of the time. Also because of the money for transport and repair.
Thanks for answering and help!
I have a really strange problem - my phones speaker has stopped playing all notification sounds and ringtones, but the earpiece speaker is still functioning fine. I've tried almost everything but it doesn't seem to fix it. I've tried:
-Reflashing the image from Google official
-Flashing a non-official image
-Wiping and flashing the Google image
-Those applications that "force" sound out of the speaker in case a headset is in.
Has anyone here had any similar issues and any success resolving it?

In a call, does loudspeaker work?
I had the opposite problem. My earpiece wouldn't work, but my loudspeaker would. Sent back to where i got it from, they deemed to faulty and sent out a replacement.

Nope - it thinks it is on the loudspeaker but there is just silence. Pity, the warranty has recently run out for me! I might have to crack it open and make sure nothing is loose.

You may need a replacement then as it sounds like you've tried all other attempts, just had a look on ebay and they are fairly cheap anywhere from $10-20 for a replacement speaker.
same thing just happened to my phone. Was playing a game when the sound was cutting in and out. Noticed later that the sound from the speakerphone stopped working completely (i can still use the headpiece or headphones).
Is the speaker/vibration assembly connected by one cable? I assume if the phone still vibrates and the headphone jack works, it's just a problem with the speaker and not some kind of connection problem.
i have this problem. Fix with SoundAbout app.

What did you do?
Hey guys, i'm having na issue with the p6.
I was calling someone while charging, in hands-free mode (loudspeaker), and suddenly the sound stops.
I click the loudspeaker button, to redirect the cal sound to the normal speaker, and everything works fine.
Since then i'm unable to play anything from the loudspeaker. it just wont work.
Any ideias?

Seems more like HW issue to me. But you try factory reset or to reflash the firmware.
i did it but with no success.
The mobile never fall on the floor. The loudspeaker simply stoped working in the middle of a cal! :crying:

Definately a hardware problem, you should take it to service
I keep having phone calls where I can't hear the other person and vice versa. Seems to be related to my Bluetooth connection to a Gear S3 as disabling Bluetooth usually fixes it (but then sometimes it randomly sides itself with Bluetooth on and I haven't done detailed testing).
I'm on Fi, but have been for awhile and never had this problem with my previous phone... I am using the software sim.
Anyone else experiencing similar, or know anything about it?

Make sure under the phone app that the hearing aid accessibility option is off

It's off. I should add, there's not even the sound of the ring, just dead silence and the timer starts, then eventually a disconnect. That's making me think the audio is being sent somewhere besides the speaker (even though the icon says speaker).

I get that to from time to time. It's as if the audio is routed to my watch but nothing actually comes out of the watch.

If your not connected to anything (Bluetooth) and the volumes are maxed out and you have nothing, it's RMA time. Have you tried the good ol' factory reset? Last resort

Interesting thought, though it definitely feels like software to me so I'm not rma'ing just yet.

I legit have the EXACT same issues. I also have a Gear S3. It only happens the first time I call, and then, if I hang up and call the number right back, it's a normal phone call. Have you figured out a fix yet? It's really a nuisance. Thanks in advance!

Seems better after the last two Tizen updates, but honestly I don't make enough phone calls to be certain.
Go to Bluetooth setting and choose ur watch setting and disable phone calls should fix it,i have huawe watch 2 and same problem.
