Test/Service Menu Speaker not working? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I am currently running Wanamlite v3.4 (GT-i9500) and just a bit of curiosity I tried entering the Test/Service Menu. All of the tabs are working, then I noticed that nothing happens when I press Speaker, but when I try pressing the Speaker (R), a loud music plays. From my understanding, S4, both international versions have only 1 Loud Speaker. I can still hear the ringtones whenever someone calls or texts me, notifications and also perfectly functioning for both video and music playback, so that means the loud speaker works fine. Then I have read in another thread that S4 has 2 speakers, left and right, and the Speaker tab corresponds with the Left Speaker? It is quite confusing.
Hope someone can enlighten me on this. I hate bringing this to a Samsung Service Center.
Many thanks!

Revolution 3.2 and 3.1 issue, possible fault in the design! EAR LOUDNESS

I have found a possible flaw in the design of the phone that might be possible to fix.
The earphone speaker loudness is crap its not even considered loud or above hearing when im listning to music i can hear everyone talking ect ect
now here is the weird thing see if you answer a call or make a call the music cuts off and you have your chat then once you hang up or they hang up
music will then resume but this time it will be WAY WAY better and Sound better and louder, the way its ment to sound.
now if you pause the music then unpause it goes back to this low sounding music again.
PLEASE can someone fix this as its ruining my music listning though i dunno about the rest of you lol
I'm running 3.1 and having no issues at all with headset volume while listening to music. Tried to pause and unpause, volume stayed the same, nice and loud. FM radio has nice loud volume too.
I have the same strange issue... at first I cleaned my in ear headphones (because on 2.9.11 they were louder)
but at the same day in noticed the sound improvement after ending up a call and was very confused :S
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
try an full wipe an install ARVHD 3.2 maybe it fix your issue
it's a known issue in froyo based roms (stock included), gingerbread released is free of it, and you can buy a app from the market "volume boost", that "fix" it...

[Question] Microphone Issues - Any ideas?

Hello everyone, I've checked the forums and I've not really seen many answers to this question as it's something that's been bugging me for a while now.
I don't know when it started, but I noticed recently after recording a video and playing back, the sound on one side is completely gone. Almost like Stereo mode has been disabled, I have determined that it is the microphone that is often used during Loudspeaker calls, I tested this by placing a call to a friend on a regular call, then a WhatsApp Call, and finally a Skype call - and each platform is having the same issue - my loudspeaker microphone is not picking up audio. Is there a fix for this? I took apart the device, cleaned thoroughly but I'm wondering if the microphone itself has become busted. If anyone has a similar issue, or has found a fix for this - could you please provide me with some information? I love my Note 3 and would love to start recording some videos again.
Thanks everyone!

First factory reset and check again. .if same it s material problem
I've Factory Reset about 10 times since this post, and attempted all kinds of different things. I can confirm that it is a definitely a hardware issue, could you recommend what to do so I can get this fixed? Again, my primary microphone works fine while making calls - it is only when I enable Loudspeaker that the other party is unable to hear me due to the "Top Microphone" on the device not working for some unknown reason. Again, I've attempted cleans, fixes etc - but the issue only occurs during loudspeaker calls and when recording video as the top microphone is used with the primary microphone for Stereo Recording.
I know the microphone still picks up some form of audio but at a very low level - as I have called a friend and enabled loudspeaker and continued on to blowing in the hole where the microphone is situated. They can hear the loud distortion created by the air, but not a voice or anything like that. I really have to shout (And I mean LOUD) if anything audio is to be picked up.

Headphones not working for calls

Hi guys. I've been browsing the forum for an answer to this but I didn't find anything.
I have my Nexus 6p which was working just fine. I use a Samsung Galaxy S4 headphones which where working with the phone.
All of a sudden, the headphones stopped working for calls. I could still listen to music or listen to voice notes even the sound of the key pad was audible, but after you press the call key, there's no noise.
However I can still hear the call, even with the jack plugged in, thorough the speaker.
I realized that if I tap the hands free key I would listen through the headphones.
Does anybody knows what's happening?
Thanks
Edit. I'm currently using MHC19Q build. 6.0.1
I'm experiencing the same problem. It started yesterday.

Speakers aren't working

Hey everyone,
since today my phone will not play any audio through its speakers.
At first, it was only media audio, i.e. Youtube videos or music, that would have no sound.
The alarm sound and my ringtone would still play as usual.
Unfortunately, after checking again this evening they don't work anymore either.
The only time the speakers seem to be working is when I put someone on speakerphone.
If I just leave a call as is, I can't hear anything.
Although somehow the caller - instead - hears themselves with a slight delay.
Everythings works fine with headphones though.
I've tried resetting my phone, which hasn't helped at all, so I'm kind of lost.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Cheers,
1919k
Ive got exactly the same problem. The speakers dont work unless i put the phone on speakerphone in a call. And even then the sound is buggy.
Did you install in the meantime any magisk module?
any solution ?
Exact same problem, and I had updated my phone 3 days ago.

No sound for calls

Hello, i have a galaxy n900v, the problem with my phone is that my external speaker died and i couldnt hear it ringing. So i had it rooted and installed "Aspire S9 Rom v10 PX2" custom rom and somehow managed to use a sound mod to allow all sounds to be output from the front speaker. It worked for a about a month, and i could listen to all my voicenotes, music and calls through the front facing speaker. It also worked well when i pluged in my headset. However, as of a week ago it started to stop working, i mean, no sound whatsoever. I couldnt even hear anything through the front speaker, no calls, no voices, no music, nothing even when the headphone was connected it didnt shoe the headset connected icon. So i tried to revert back to the stock rom thinking it would work cos i had only calls on my stock rom. However, the stock rom cant detect the headphone and i cant hear anything when i make calls. I dont know if the previous mod blew my front speaker. I did some googling around and i cant find a solution that fixes my phone. Please help
