its a hardware problem anna, you have to take it to the store you bought it from if you have a guarantee (the warranty slip) you might get a new device so be sure to back up all your files to your sd card via CWM and then give to the dealer
Today I just noticed that if I flick or knock the back microphone the phone will auto restart (probably the force acted on the internal hardware to strong?).This happened on the back microphone area only.Can anyone comfirm that this is normal?

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500.
I'm facing a crackling/distortion during calls.
I got my handset replaced twice. My 2nd and 3rd handset after replacement also face the same issue.
I have given my handset again for replacemnt.
Anyone facing the same issue?
There's a crackling/distortion during calls at max volume.
+1
I have noticed that too. Beyond a certain sound, there is cracking sound. Happens on Airtel Network.
Yup!!!!!!!!
Same here. More audible when you hear the ring back tone. its like some thin film vibrating over the speaker.
btw I am on airtel too
Same here, when having a call I can hear a crackling sound, it's minor but somehow annoying. Right now I'm not worried but I'm thinking about how it might become a bigger problem in the future.

Are you airtel too? My collegue has an s3 on airtel.. high volume has the same effect on it.. on 75-80% of the volume its fine

Take it from me, it is normal.. my colleague who has the S4 told me that he does not have this problem. I personally checked it and realised that the problem is actually there.. but only some of us notice it.. keep the volume above 3-4th level and you should it be fine..

There is a new update on galaxy s4 india today. Update it and see if the problem has reduced. I feel it has reduced but it could just be a placebo effect..
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
i'm using MEA f/w and still have the crackling sound, but it's much better when using "clear sound" setting
Same here.. with clear sound enabled it it greatly reduced.

Fixed on MF3 :good:
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
I can also confirm that samsung has fixed the problem. I am using MF8.
I don't think this is a software issue, but a hardware one.
I disassembled an S4, I unmounted the earpiece speaker. It comes attached with 2 more sensors.
I made a test call with the back case disassembled so I could press with my finger against the earpiece speaker and the crackling noise dissipated away.
Its like by pressing on it the vibration of the speaker was limited and it sounded pretty normal at max volume.
As a workaround, I inserted a piece of low density foam (found in many packaging boxes) between the earpiece and the front speaker grill and the distortion appeared again, but fainter, after I mounted the back case (speaker assembly) and tightened the screws. Indeed, like others said, its best heard when ring tone is playing when calling someone.
The earpieces is found for $3 on ebay as spare parts, maybe I'll try a new one.
I really hope its not a Samsung design flaw. Check the pics. Thoughts?
I'm pretty upset. I paid a lot of money for this phone, it has a problem and I don't like to send it to service to get it raped by some uncaring hands. I would like to have it changed, I hope its not going to be a difficult process as many things are in my country after you pay the money. How hard was it for you to get it changed?
Has this issue been treated in other threads on the internet?
Little offtopic: the best in call sound experience I had was/is with Blackberry Bold series. They have a clear sound, crisp, no distortion, even with a little bass. Sounds solid. Too bad is that limited.
The problem is with Adapt Sound!, disable it in sound settings [Call Sound] and everything should be fine. Hope this helps:good:
Hi,
Yesterday my vibrator broke on my phone and this made me to open the phone for the second time. I took off the backglass and tried to fix it but had no succes. But since I really don't put my phone in water I decided to expiriment with stuff.
I always wanted make my xperia Z louder so I installed zero's puresound mod but it was still not loud enough, so I took off the sponge/rubber and the loudspeakers glass. I can't believe that this phone is so loud now atm. All I ever wanted from this phone just with one easy mod done.
If your warranty is void and don't care about the waterproofness you can also do this. Since I'm going to take my phone apart again I will take some pictures.
I'm not going to shower and take phonecalls anyway, before this I never had a waterproof phone so I can live with that.

Did you managed to put the back plate on without replacing the adhesive? Is it stiff?
Sent from my Xperia Z
Yes, I just heated up with a hairdryer until it melted and paste it back on. It's already my second time that I've done it.

It's louder than a iphone 5 now, the speaker is very powerfull of this phone but we've never realized it

About 30 to 60 seconds. I think that the glue lacks quality since it's easy to take it off. The glue used on the battery is made of better quality. Could be because the glue on the battery is thicker

Took off the right glass and pushed the sponge from the outside of the speaker hole and took it off from inside.

Well I don't have another xperia z tbh so I don't know how. I wish I made a video like before and after while doing this. I'm very pleased atm with it now

We can do it together.
Download sound meter from the market and then play one of the sony ringtones and tell me which one by name. I'll do the same and we'll both see by decibels how louder your speaker is compared to my stock one.
