I don't think this is a bug. I fell into Clearwater Beach 6 times while Jet Skiing and the same thing happened. Just buy a can of compressed air to resolve this issue.

[Q] Strange vibration issue

Hi all,
Yesterday i bought my new i9505 Vodafone XXUAMDC. Today i found out that during vibrations there are some strange sound at the top of the phone, like electrostatic discharge. What can it be? It has ever happened to anyone?
Also this only happens with high levels of vibration intensity.
Help me.
Thanks
Iv noticed this too. Has anybody else had this problem ?
Yeah like an ufo in your pants

Speaker stopped working

Hi,
I've had my S4 for about 3 days now and today all of a sudden the rear speaker has stopped working. No sound comes out of it at all, including notifications, screen lock sounds, touch sounds and any other sound. I have restarted multiple times but there is still no sound. If I plug in some headphones then I can hear the sound through them, so the problem seems to be related just to the main speaker.
Please help me
Is it brand new. Can you take it back?
Are you rooted? Flash another ROM?

Yeah it's brand new, unrooted and completely stock.
I will go back to the store if all else fails but am hoping there is a solution.

I wouldn't say a lot, but I do use them for an hour or two every night before I go to bed. I used them briefly for about 10 minutes earlier today but the speaker randomly stopped working a few hours after that.
I think I even heard when the speaker malfunctioned because as I touched the screen the touch sound cut out about half way through, though I thought nothing of it. Only now do I realize that there hasn't been any sound out the speaker since then.
Oh because i had that problem lots of times but its because i had headphones in while i switched the phones off or if it went dead while they were plugged in. Then when i restart the phone without them plugged in the phone still thinks there connected when there not so how i fixed it is that i plugged them in and out really fast. Its worth a try but i doubt it will work in your case

Well nothing I tried worked, so I'm guessing it was a hardware malfunction (my guess is that the speaker blew somehow).
I went back to the store today and they gave me a new S4 with no hassle. Just a little disappointed that I spent all weekend setting it up and customising it and now I have to do it all again.
Heres hoping this one lasts more than 4 days lol.

Lol. Been abusing my i9500 like crazy since june. No issues so far. So your unit must have been faulty from the beginning.

Headphone jack not working

So my headphone jack isn't working. My phone doesn't detect anything going in it. Bluetooth and the speaker work but no jack output... Just started doing it a few hours ago randomly. You can't break a headphone jack can you? I mean, realistically? I didn't do anything out of the ordinary to cause it.

Try blowing it out with compressed air. Happens every once in a while with mine when it gets crud in it.

Sorry for digging up a old thread, I recently inserted head phones in the jack of my new xt907 for the first time and it worked perfectly but I faced issues after removing the same - like phone used to hang while playing videos/audio and speaker/loud speaker was working intermittently during calls. I factory reset the phone twice but the problem was never sorted out, then yesterday I observed that the above problems were not present when I used the headphones, I inserted the head phone pin into the jack and rotated it for 2 to 3 rounds and now the problem is gone.
Just wanted to check up anyone else had this problem.

Headphone jack broken?

Hey everyone, so today while walking home, I noticed that one of my headphones wasn't working and I was pretty pissed because I love my headphones, anyways, so I tried my other headphones and experienced the same problem, so I concluded my phone broke. So, I've spent about 20 minutes poking around with it and blowing air into it, and I've managed to get one side working, but the other side isn't. One thing I noticed was that the side which isn't working is the side with the mic and these headphones -do- have the 4th prong. I don't have any 3 prong headphones to test with, so I'm going to go to my friends house and test with his, but does anyone know how to fix this because I love my four-prong headphones because the clicker and they're just awesome. Thanks, all help is appreciated.

if its in warranty, they will fix it.
Rooting and all never matters for hardware damages!
Hmmm, I bought it off craigslist, but it was brand new, do you think warranty applies? And do I call LG(

Screen wake during call

Something weird is happening during a phone call. While I'm talking I'll pull the phone away from my head and the screen won't turn on, ever. Even when I want to end the call I have to press the power button and then end call after the screen turns on. Doesn't matter what ROM I'm on. Also a buddy who isn't even rooted has the same problem. I'm hoping it just a stupid setting.
Any ideas?

Same problem here.. even on a fresh room install.. so I'm afraid it is not a settings issue

Do you guys have a case for it? Maybe the sensor is covered somehow.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Yes I have a case but I had the case since I got the phone and it only recently started doing this
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Took the case off and tried nothing. Does it go by a light sensor or the gyro?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
No case here either. Very strange

Mine started do this as well. After phone call pull the phone away and have to hit power button to turn screen on.

Happened to me and I found the solution on another thread. Sounds stupid but it worked for me. Blow into the ear piece. I used a compressed air spray can but it may work with just your mouth. Apparently some dust gets in front of the proximity detector inside the phone next to the ear piece. This removed it. Give it a shot.
