Left speaker sounds very loose - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I do not know if it is that I have broken the left speaker or is that comes from factory to make it sound lazy.

Mine has the same problem. I guess it was a stock of tablets with this problem. It is not annoying since I'm running a custom rom and edited the sound to work as it should.

The back of these Galaxy tabs remove surprisingly easily e.g. without breaking. Guitar picks help to start popping the fasteners. Search on youtube to see how that's done - you may even come across your particular issue with a relatively easy fix.

Micro sounds question

Hi all.
I'm having a little issue with my Gnex,
When silent mode is on, I can hear micro sounds from the speaker, it only happens when a sound should run in that moment (if I were using loud mode) like pressing keys or typing in keyboard.
If I disable key sounds this issue disappear but well, I don't want to modify this check everyday.
Someone with the same problem?
Running stock Gnex, JB 4.1.1
Thanks in advance

Please someone help,
I've detected also that battery stats tells that audioOut_2 is running, it stops if I disable those sounds but not If I put the Gnex on silent.
Any anyone?
Thanks so much

does it happen on all of the roms you flash?? have you tried using quiet hours instead of setting it to silent?
as for the audioOut_2 wakelock, here's a discussion link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792081
they said that sometimes, it occurs because of apps or games continuing to run in the background like gta3 for example.
someone also posted that switching to faux's kernel got rid of the issue.
Firstly, thanks for trying to help.
I tried some custom roms before coming back to stock, but I can't remember about this issue,
If I remember correctly, it was happening also before I perform last factory reset.
Anyway, did u understood my problem? It is quite hard to explain it
Thanks for all

Well I've tried the same with headphones connected and the "sound" still appears while the phone is silent and using my keyboard (or just clicking on send in messages)
Any idea how to fix it?

Ghosting effect

Since when I updated to cm13 I started noticing like a ghosting effect on screen. Whenever a white thing is displayed on screen right after removing it a reddish shadow of it appears and is persistent for a while. Does anyone else noticed it? Any way of fising it?
Thanks in advance

Yes, me. Looking for a replacement from LG
I've noticed it too. Is it a hardware or software problem?
Go back to stock rom and see if you can reproduce the effect. If you can't then its probably a cm issue.

MXB48T kilos sound on my Píxel C

As the title says (*kills). Sound working ok and after the update when I don't use the tablet for a while sound goes off for all the system. I reboot it and after the reboot it works. But several minutes later the sound is dead again. Any one with this issue???
This is so f..king annoying.
Thanks!!
Edit: kills the mic too.
Edit2: while it's charging through the charger it seems, even letting it a while locked, that sound doesn't go off. Really Google? So fuc..d up developers you have?

No problems here with the update.
All good here too
Mine is also fine on the new update.
Could be a bad flash. Try flashing the factory image and seeing if that helps.
Don't have a USB C cable and I won't buy one for this ****ty tablet. I spend 500€ to work my ass out to make this thing run okay? Hell no. Rooted and unlocked all my Android devices, not this one guys. It's really annoying. A month a go my nexus 6 battery died. Do you know how many years my Galaxy SIII worked before saying good bye? 5 years.
Back on topic. Safe mode won't help, sound even does not comes up at start. Factory reset won't help, issue persists. Only when charging sound wont go off.

Yes post it in google forums products and obvious answer came up like "safe mode", bla, bla, bla.
Already done an RMA. I won't bother myself doing anything else than updating via OTA with this Google device.
Thankfully the Google representative was really really nice and did all the tedious work a pleasure :laugh:
Same here. Sound won't work after a while. Reboot helps.
No errors during flashing the factory image. Even the keyboard upgrade worked flawlessly.
Sound Issue
I had a sound issue yesterday on my tablet, which may or may not be the same thing.
No media sounds coming out of the speakers, even though the volume was turned up high, odd thing was notifications still seemed to work - i.e. calendar reminders still made the notification sounds and trying to change notification sounds also played the sounds as usual.
Grabbed my headphones and plugged them in and media sound was OK - removed headphones again and speakers were back.
I had been been using my tablet to watch movies on a flight back home with my headphones and assume that for some reason the tablet did not identify the removal event - so still had the speakers blocked!!
No errors too when flashing my unit. But there the problem was.
Regarding about plugging headphones in and out, and reverting sound back to normal, did not work for me. But when sound was working after restart and headphones were plugged, before every media sound was played a clacking noise appears.

I came here to post the same issue. At first I thought it was a third party app, however it is not. I'm currently in contact with Nexus Support and will update when I have an answer.
Edit: contacted Google Support and, of course, trouble shooting came down to a factory reset. I will try this and update if the issue was resolved.
Didn't work for me

I'm experiencing the lost sound problem. Please let us know if the problem returns on your new unit. Haven't decided whether to RMA mine.

Update here was working flawlessly. I activated Google now when screen off and issue returned. Seems to be software. But I don't understand why the factory reset on the other unit didn't fixed it. Try turning that option off.

I thought this had happened to me too but then after reading through this and someone mentioned audio blocking I remembered that I had this button called Pressy installed in my headphone jack, once I removed it, the sound worked again!

proximity sensor issue

Hi,
After the last upgrade to oxygen 3.2.6 I've experienced an issue with the proximity sensor during calls: it doesn't work properly and I keep pressing buttons with my ear. I've noticed it after the upgrade, it was working perfectly before.
Has anyone the same issue? No root nor anything else.
Thanks a lot
Hello,
same issue but from the beginning I bought this phone.
This phone is excellent but this issue is very annoying. During a call, when I try with my finger, the screen is switching on and off correctly, at a distance of 1cm I would say.
But with my ear, it is problematic. Sometimes, screen does not switch of at all, or switches on during the call. I have to press strongly the phone on my ear to avoid screen switching on.
I have deleted shortcuts, switch off the wifi, switch on the bluetooth,..... with my ear during calls.
Is it an isolated problem? Is there a soft to adjust the sensibility?
I am non rooted under 3.5.3.
I was before on 3.2.1, then 3.2.3, 3.2.4. and I always had this issue.
Thank you for your help.
Hi guys, i have the same issue from the beginning. Could you solve this problem?
I used to have this problem only with CM ROMs. I'm on FreedomOS 1.5.1 (oos 3.2.6) right now and sensor's working fine.
I am not rooted and will not install any custom rom. I use sync soft provided by my compwny which does not work when phone is rooted.
And I will not change my ear as well
Hope new update with solve the problem then.

I think that it has to do with the positioning of the phone during calls. Coming from Nexus 4 with a smaller screen, I initially faced this issue. Then after thinking about it, I started to consciously adjust the positioning of the phone during a call. After sometime, it has now become automatic. Everytime now, the screen goes off during a call as it should.
Try it.
I will try thank you.
Or if still not working properly I may do a complete reset and reinstallation.

I noticed that even when I use the phone with hand free ear speaker, the screen is waking up regularly after 15s for example,... I am wondering why? I am more and more convinced that it is a soft problem.
Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A3003 en utilisant Tapatalk
I too have this issue and have done cache clear etc but the issue stays. I do not want to root my phone and want Oneplus to fix the issue. The sensor works fine if i use fingers on it but during call, the screen keeps coming on and off
Finally I had to reset my phone. I have re-installed more or less 90℅ of my softs. No problem anymore. Screen switches off and remains switched-off during calls. I confirm it is a soft problem.
But which one? OS?
I will come back if the problem comes back.

Sound cutting out

Has anyone found a fix for the sound cutting out after a few seconds of a video or game? I have tried the soubdabout app, Turing the USB option off, disable Power save.. Still happening..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
I have the same issue sometimes, I've read around the web and it seems to be a mix of software and hardware related, I read a guy suggest removing and putting back the case (in case you have one) and I did that and the sound came back, haven't had the issue again.

Hmm, I keep mine out of a case,.. Yeah I'm not sure what it is, it's a 50/50 between some say software and some say hardware. I would asume that software would of been fixed by now, either Samsung or 3rd party
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
So I found a solution for the issue in my case, it does seem to be software but it's really weird cause the issue continues in any firmware, it started when I was on 6.0.1 PI2, then I flashed Nougat and had the same problem (I hated it and battery drain was killing me) I went back to 6.0 and changed to the PK2 version and the issue continued, it was really weird cause it would cut out in audio messages, games but not music, I also tried every single suggestion on every forum and post I could find EXCEPT the Soundabout app, today I gave up, installed soundabout, selected media to speakers and bam, problem solved, I still need further testing, but it seems ok for now, keep in mind that I also have "prevent USB audio routing" on and "Easy Mute" off.

Im trying the soundabout app now, I orginally had it set to automatic and was still having the issue, now I set it to speaker and so far so good.
as this worked for me but idk about others... I was told to remove all paired bluetooth devices (on/off doesnt matter) then go to settings>connections>more connection settings>nearby device scanning then turn off... worked for me... (sorry for zombifying an old post but as this is still current with mine and many devices i decided to help)

Is anything still wrong? Or does the sound work both with and without headphones?
