I wish I could help but mine is doing the same thing. I'm on CM11 nightly though so I thought it might be that.
Any help out there?

Have you guys tried a full wipe with a factory reset? Also testing the device before bringing back any apps you have backed up? Sometimes you do a full wipe only to bring the problem back with a backup.

My phone is having the same issue. I've rooted and installed many different ROMs. The last one I tried called Beanstalk installed with all the sound working properly but on the first reboot, the problem came back. I tried wiping an re-installing but the problem is still there, so it seems to be the luck of the draw. There is an app called Soundabout which you can install to route the sound to the speakers, but you would then have to go into the app to route the sound back to the headphones when you need. Very strange. I've seen many posts on different boards of people with the same issue but no true fix. I need to find a good android developer who knows the code well that could probably figure this out...but who that man could be I just don't know...
Are you still facing the problem?

This just started happening the other day. Randomly during the day it will not allow me to adjust the volume ( ie from vibrate to loud). The status bar moves when i move them but it doesn't actually do anything. Also when this starts happening, voice input no longer works. I cant do voice text voice searches etc etc.
I have to shut it down and restart it, then everything will work again. But it only lasts for a few hours and then i have to do it again.
I am stock and not rooted.
Thoughts?
It doesn't happen to me on my modded and tweaked Slim Bean Beta2. I would recommend doing a factory reset and see if that fixes your problem.

Maybe you have apps installed that control or manage audio

Could i use this backup utility found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36499906
factory reset my phone and then install that backup or would that defeat the purpose of resetting it.
I am not a pro at this obviously, i just do not want to lose all my apps and settings i have. Or would they just reinstall once i linked the phone back to my google account?

I did have one, but i uninstalled it and still having the same issues.
I'm having the same issue, stock ROM rooted with franco kernel.
Not only that, but the volume gets very low almost inaudible and I end up having to reboot the phone.
I don't have any audio apps installed, noticed this while watching YouTube.
Thus far have not found a solution

now it is not happening anymore and hasn't happened since Saturday.
Weird.
Will repost later if it starts acting up again.
I looked for a solution everywhere but all i got was to change the phone. I have the no audio in-call problem. There is a way to fix it wothout changing the phone? Any help would be appreciate. Sorry for bad english.

Are you running 4.2.2 with a non .48 radio? AKA did you enable LTE on 4.2.2?
i don't know and i don't think so, i was on PA 4.2.2 when i tried 0.47, 0.33, 0.27(?), i tried almost all modems, then i tried stock 4.2.1 (i bought my nexus 4 with 4.2.2), then i tried CM RC1 but never worked. I hope i can make it work without changing it. Thanks for the reply.

If you did all that then I guess it is a hardware issue.
First for the sake of trying give it a good shake ,cause the earpiece might have slipped for less than a mm.
If that doesn't help then you will have to either RMA or open the device and perform an earpiece exchange.

Thw fact is that my speacker works well in internet call (Tango, skype, etc) so will surely that solve my problem? or will it work only in internet calls again?

Before you go swapping hardware I suggest you flash the full 4.2.2 stock image from Google. Bootloader, radio, everything. Then, check if the problem persists.

I bought the phone with Google's pure 4.2.2, tried also original 4.2.1. Same question as before? Is it possible that the problem will persist?
Its highly unlikely it's a hardware problem if you have audio with internet calling. As I said before, flash the full stock image including an wipe with fastboot.

RMA if you can before trying to change any hardware yourself, but this does sound like an earpiece problem
I'll try 4.2.2 stock. I'll keep you updated.
I had the same problem but it was fixed after I flashed the latest radio.

Nothing worked (flashing/factory reset/downgrading) so I returned back the phone. The new one has no problem.
I had the same problem.. everything working fine in all apps except for normal calls. Even after resetting to stock Google image. After some digging I found the application Soundabout. It has an option to disable the check if a headphones has been inserted or not. After ticking the checkbox to disable the headphone check I could call again with the earpiece.
Funny thing tough, after reflasing my phone with CM 10.1 it still worked. Even on the stock Google image after re-enabling the headphones check I was able to make calls again with the earpiece. Really really strange problem.
You can find the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix&hl=nl
Altough you already replaced your phone it might be usefull for other people with the same problem.
I'm on 10.2-20131122, CWM recovery, and whatever kernel came with this version. I have tried other builds. I tried a few 10.1 builds also all with the same issue. I have wired headphones with mic that worked fine on stock and works on my girlfriend's HTC one running CM 10.2. The button still works to skip songs and activate Google now, but when it comes time to talk it doesn't pick up anything through the mic. Any ideas? TIA
So nobody else is experiencing this?

Hi everyone
So I update my N9005 to the official polish kitkat firmware and I've been experiencing episodes of screen unresponsiveness very often. Anybody else has this problem? Anybody managed to fix it?
P.S I'm aware of the counterfeit/unoriginal s-view flip covers issue which I'm having as well but the thread isn't about it.
Hope someone has a solution.

Hello, I have been experiencing moments of "freezing" or unresponsiveness as well.
For me, it seemed to be due to chrome or using power saving mode. (People in another forum were blaming their droid maxxs freezing problem on chrome) I disabled chrome and disabled power saving mode.
Then I started using opera. I experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using opera without the power saving mode.
I was thinking back to the first times that it happened and it seemed to be paired to the wifi download and upload symbol being active in upload and download activity.
I know that correlation does not mean causation, but I think it is worth exploring if the network activity is causing it to somehow hang.
This bizzar occurance made me perform a factory wipe leading to another round of issues involving processing err_0000, but that is another story; sadly, it didn't even fix the issue.
OP, are you still experiencing the moments of unresponsiveness? If you are, have you noticed the events that are correlated with the event?
Has anybody else experienced this or found a remedy?
It could be one of the apps from the play store that is not playing nice with kitkat, but due to the multitude of other issues, I'd say it is a kitkat or touchwiz flaw.
Thanks for any help.

I had an issue with screen not responding sometimes .....I figured out it was due to the flip case (original by Samsung). Although lately I haven't experienced that either.
Try using the original non flip case and see if you still have the issue.

I have never had a s-view flip case on mine. I use holster iblason case that has no interaction with the screen.
This only started for me once I upgraded to kitkat.

If your phone isnt hanging up and freezing, that gives me hope. I'll gsm reset, clear the cache and then flash.

I just cleared the cache, factory wiped, and installed the Russian update N900XXUDNC4 and so far, the phone is a lot smoother. No hangups in the browser yet, but time will tell lol.
It is annoying setting up the phone like new lol. I'll update the post as to if I have moments of freezing or the screen becoming unresponsive.

Had this problem too, as well as lots of lag. Reflashed and did a factory reset. Took care of both.

Battery life is looking good. Power Saving off, bluetooth on and connected to my smart watch.
I made one short call. I don't talk on the phone that much. I mostly use it for Internet browsing, music, and instant messaging/texting. I'll update on Tuesday when I have a full day at school.
Keep in mind though that the n9005 is the lte version. I have a n900, the non lte international variant; our battery life may be different.
Edit: 4/20/2014 same charge 70% 1 day 6 hours bluetooth, wifi, gps, and 1 Gmail account in sync.

Even I experienced the same. My phone came with Kitkat installed. Freezing happens when a webpage is loading or the time i turn on Sync etc. strange thing is phone seems smooter when power save mode turned on.
I think it may be a problem that was not fixed until the March 31st 2014 KitKat build. I have been using Chrome heavily since I installed the most recent official rom; I have not experienced any lag or hanging system wide or in the browser. It reminds me of 4.3.
When I wiped and reinstalled the previous rom, I noticed the lag and unresponsiveness right away.
I'm going to use the browser heavily next week. If I have no issues, I think it may be safe to say that the bug was fixed in the latest kitkat with March 31st 2014 build date.
People with lag, do you have the lte variant or the regular SM-N900? I'm starting to think only the SM-N900 are being impacted by sour Sammy updates.
And if you guys wipe your phones, make sure to turn reactivation lock off because it could cause an error that will not recognize your real Sammy account and password. This phone has become stressful; I'm not updating it again lol

Mine is working also without issue. It doesnt have anything to do with root.
Go into app manager and find the 2 bluetooth apps and clear the data and restart your phone. See if that helps

If you are attempting to use bluetooth headphones and the above method does not work, when you turn on the headphones continue to hold the power button after they turn on, and in a few seconds it will wipe the paired devices and allow you to pair again. (Happened with my headphones and took forever to figure that out.) I'm sure a similar method would work for other non-headphone devices.
I never hated a phone that much as this one. Having it is a nightmare, first no root then Bluetooth issue and now warning: camera failed. I'm gonna return this crap, once I get the replacement one I'll sell it asap.

did you disable or delete anything after rooting? rooting doesn't alter things like this, users with root access do.
my Bluetooth works flawlessly after rooting.
I rooted and disabled many apps. Still have Bluetooth that I use to make calls with my radio. And I sent my buddy the Pandora with unlimited skips yesterday with Bluetooth. It's probably a user error.
