Hi guys, not sure if this is the good section, please move thread if needed.
I took my phone apart to change the screen (+frame, bought the took together from aliexpress) on my RN5G. Screen is working good and everything looks fine. But i have an issue with my earphones. The sound on them is working great no issue, but the controls (vol+/vol-/play) don't work anymore. They were working flawlessly before that.
Could this be related to an hardware issue? Any help/idea appreciated!

I just encountered a strange problem. As I was listening to Google Voice Search kindly tell me the weather, the response sounded strange... "crackling" doesn't describe it correctly, but it sounded as if it was coming through a cell phone with bad reception. I then tried to play some music and it had a similar sound.
At first I was worried that after a good 7 months, the speakers on my GN10 had magically blown out.
But I reset the tablet and now it's fine.
Has this happened to anyone? Should I be concerned about it happening again (or more frequently) or shrug it off as a one time bug?
I'm glad to see the warranty is 12 months (and not 6 months as I originally thought), because I wonder if this is worth sending in to Samsung for repair.
It's not hardware it's a software issue since 4.4.2.
Yes, it is an issue since 4.4.2 and you don't need to reset to fix it. Just put the Note to sleep using the power button, wait 5 or 10 seconds and then unlock again. Make sure you wait the 5 or 10 seconds since it doesn't seem to work if you lock/unlock immediately. If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times. It works for me and it beats rebooting.
I have the P605 version of tab. I've already ticked and unticked the mono/streo in accessibility but my output for built in speaker is still mono. Only the left speaker is functioning and the right isnt. For the headset, both produces sounds. I cant remember I installed something that have caused this.
Is this related to the 4.4.2 version?
I also have the same exact problem!
The left speaker of my Note 10.1 is not working but the right speaker is perfectly working.
I was so worried because there was a disturbing BZZZBZBZBZBZBBZBZ sound coming from my left speaker. I washed my screen with a few drops of water and I thought some got in through the speaker that's why it isn't working properly. I am so glad to know that this is a software problem and not my fault at all.
Will formatting really solve the problem? Thanks
I have a problem I have a Samsung tab A and on of my speakers are not working the other one is sound fine and when I have headphones in its fine but when I have them out the sound out of the speaker is not on but the other speaker is fine. What should I do ?
Hi all
Since installing HD revolution when someone calls I can't hear them but they can hear me, camera remote control and everything else working perfectly, if I put the phone on speaker phone I can hear the person from the bottom speaker, also when playing music it only comes out of bottom speaker. I have wiped dalvik etc still nothing and I have reverted to leedroid and insercoin roms still the same. When playing music on insercoin which I'm currently on it says cannot disable boomsound when using internal speakers and the option is blanked out which is strange, which leads me to belive that hopefully it could be software and not hardware.
Any ideas please guys?
My wife is having the same issue. (Running stock ROM)
Have you had any luck with a solution Maverick?
Anyone else out there come across this issue?
Thanks,

Really sorry for late reply, in the end no didn't get it working I think it was hardware related as I tried everything software wise. I decided to sell it on ebay few weeks back got £150 for it.
Sorry couldn't help anymore

No worries.
It has turned out to be a hardware issue with my wife's phone. The speaker at the top of the phone had given up.
It's with HTC now so we'll see what happens...
Just to wrap this up... Phone was away with HTC for around 10 days and has returned with both speakers working again as new.
V happy Mrs.
Hello everyone !
My M8 went mad today. It recognizes all headphones/earphones except the stock one that came with the device. The stock one works perfectly fine with all the devices except my M8. That sounds really strange, but it did happen.
I googled some forums and found that soundabout app on the play store could solve this issue by routing the audio to headphone jack. It worked.
I was tinkering with the settings of the app. I routed the audio to the earpiece(top speaker) only.
I'm somewhat skeptical that the top speaker now has less volume compared to the bottom one, when playing music/videos.
Does this mean that I have a partly damaged speaker ?
Also, can tinkering the settings damage the hardware(speakers) in any case ?
Thank you for reading.

I think that the earpiece speaker is actually less powerful than the bottom speaker. I use SoundAbout myself as I have an issue with one of my friends old stereo's. The phone doesn't recognize that I have plugged in the aux cable but it only happens with that stereo. So I have to use the SoundAbout app to change the setting to Wired Headphones.
I'm not sure if tinkering setting can damage the speakers, but I have damaged the bottom speaker myself by flashing one of the first CM12 nightly's that came out. The speaker is quite easy to replace yourself and same goes for the earpiece.
Hello,
I have nexus 5 with stock 5.1.1 not rooted.
I started to use soundabout because my phone didn’t recognize AUX-IN from my car audio.
Everything was ok for long time till yesterday.
Now, after I will use soundabout I can’t hear any call conversation. I need to restart nexus.
I am wonder If someone know some similar program that I can test.

Hey everyone. My note 2 gas given me many troubles, first the chip EMMC failed. I created a thread explaining the situation. Bootloop, recovery failed, etc. So I bought a phone that had a broken screen. I replaced the motherboard and everything was going fine but cellular signal was failing, I gave it back to the owner. (I also created a thread about it).
Now, I bought another phone with the broken screen. So I replaced the motherboard one more time. Everything works ok, cellular signal, wifi, camera (both front and back camera), wifi, speakers, etc. But I have a trouble with the microphone. When I'm on a phone call I can hear people but people can't hear me, unless I use the speaker then they can hear me. I suppose that the mic from the top of the phone is the one that is working when the speaker is turned on.
I've done some reading, and there are many solutions, cleaning the mic, factory reset, installing other ROM,etc. The mic isn't the problem. I tried the mic of my note 2 and the other mic too. The problem is present with both mics. (Both phones are the same variant by the way, GT N7100 international version).
The phone is on 4.1.2 Jellybean, I'm thinking on update to 4.3 first via Odin, if problem is still not solve then upgrade to 4.4 kit Kat via Odin as well. If problem persist, then flash a recovery via Odin and then install a custom ROM 5.1.1 and if the mic problem still not solved then flash a 6.0.1 custom ROM.
I don't know what else I should do concerning this issue. Any advices? Or solutions? Has anyone had this very same issue?
The mic doesn't work at all, I tried video recording and the only mic that works is the top one, not the bottom one. Voice recording doesn't work as well. Headphones does work. If I unplugged the headphones while having a phonecall the bottom mic still isn't working.
Hope you could give any advice or solutions! Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my English skills.
Did you try moving the swapping out the USB fix cable between both phones?
I doubt that it's a software problem because I have not come across a situation where a mic does not work on a particular stock rom.

Yes I did. Problem still there. I also did a factory reset. I'm thinking that at least one of those mics are working OK. I mean, it would be really really bad luck having the 2 microphone malfunctioning. My microphone was working fine before the EMMC chip crashed. After I replaced with other motherboard with no cellular signal it was working fine as well. This motherboard tho everything is working fine but both microphones.
Yes, that is weird. Maybe you need a new mic? That might be the cheapest solution.
Hi everyone!
I was on the official last rom and the loudspeaker doesn't work, ok, i change to the Pixel Experience and the loudspeaker doesn't work too, so, i can't be the rom, so i bought a new loudspeaker but it doesn't work too, i don't have idea what it can be, if i put the tweak of use the both speaker only works the ear speaker.
I already clean the contacts from the loudspeaker and is the same, doesn't work.
I have the same issue. Have tried every possible ROM and still does not work. Gave the phone to LG and they quoted a motherboard replacement.
After a lot of research and experimenting I found out it is stuck on headphone mode.
To fix this I use XOverideHeadphoneJack via xposed and it solves all the problems.
Hope it helps
Thank You
