Hello there everyone I am currently using the Samsung galaxy S5 for at&t. I have started to experience a few issues since I have used towel root to root my phone. The download button in the camera app no longer opens up to the camera addon store, my S voice just keeps coming on automatically, when I disable voice promps it keeps enabling them & when I try to software update it nothing happens it just keeps saying every time it opens up new software avaliable update in settings. Also sometimes my volume just randomly lowers itself to 0 then goes to max sometimes the music stops & just plays randomly.
Has anyone else been experiencing these problems?

My phone is not rooted. This just started this week. I have not adjusted any settings for quite a while so I am pretty sure I did not do anything to cause it.
Since getting my Note 3 in October I use the voice method of inputting text for email and sms quite often. When starting a message where I want to voice inpput, I click the microphone button and speak what I want to send. Works well for me. Thursday the phone started making a loud, very annoying, beep type sound whenever I launch this by clicking the microphone. It happens even when the phone is in silent mode. I checked the sound options in the phone settings and everything is set as it has always been. All system and keyboard sounds are turned off. I also tried another keyboard app rather than the phone default and it is the same with that.
Does anyone have an idea why this started and how to silence it? Thanks!
I guess this is not an issue for others here. I did find the exact problem on another forum and it started for him just a few days ago also. So maybe something updated automatically that caused this. We will see if more people start complaining about it. By the way we have tried a few different suggestions, including resets, but nothing turns off the noise yet.
0n edit: I looked at my apps to see what recently updated. One of the recent updates was to Google Search. I uninstalled all the updates to Google Search and the problem is gone. So it is a bug in the most recent update to Google Search that turns on that sound with no way to turn it off.
Randomly when I make calls or receive calls I have no sound. I can't hear them and they can't hear me. Rebooting the phone will fix the issue for a short while. I have been able to reproduce this by connecting to my cars blue tooth and making a call. The 1st call works however all calls after the first call I have no sound again. When the phone in the no sound state (Phone Call) Bluetooth media still works just no sound while in a call. The speakers work because I can play music and the mic still works because I can still record sound. This issue seams to be related to the phone app its self???
My phone is a Samsung S4 (AT&T) with Android 4.4.2 (Rooted via Towelroot) with SuperSU by chain-fire installed.
Here is some of the trouble shooting I have already done.
1. Factory Rest the Phone via Stock Recovery (Still can reproduce the issue)
2. Played around with various settings i.e. Google Now Bluetooth options. Un-paired all Bluetooth devices and then re-paired one to try (Still having same issue)
3. Cleaned out all app cache (Still having same issue)
4. Re-installed pre-installed apps that I removed once rooted.
Long story short, this one has be baffled. The only thing that fixes the issue is re-starting the phone.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Same Problem Here, I may have figured it out:
After I rooted I used some apps to auto kill some running, supposedly non-essential apps. This caused my phone call problems, same exact issue as you're having. A reboot fixed it for me as well. I will let you know if it happens again without closing any apps.......
This problem keeps happening and it is very bad, for me anyway. Especially if if my alarm doesn't sound or I miss calls (4 calls today).
Basically, the sound will either just...stop or will become intermittent. By intermittent I mean that notification sounds stop in the middle, only getting half the notification, and the volume "beep" only sounds every other time the up or down volume is pressed.
The first time it happened i ended up rebooting and that temporarily fixed the problem. The second time I did the same and wiped the cache. Again a temporary fix. The third time i noticed something again that I had noticed the first time. Youtube videos will not play. I had pulled youtube up to test the sound the first time. At that point I thought it was a problem with youtube or the youtube app, but it happened again exactly the same way. So I killed the youtube app and voila, sound was back. So now I am thinking it was the youtube app. The 4th time, the youtube app was open in the background and I just killed all the background apps. Again, sound is back.
So now I think I have it solved. Something to do with the youtube app, right? Apparently not. Today my sound just...stopped while I was sleeping. I missed four calls from my wife and my alarm did not sound. There were a lot of apps listed in the recent apps but NOT youtube. Not at all. I closed all the recent apps and again, the sound came back.
Is this maybe some kind of RAM management issue? or....I have no idea. It's happened before and after both of the updates.
Not using any kind of external device at all, no headphones or speakers. Bluetooth is off. Location is off, NFC is off, WiFi is off (though it has been on for at least one of the times the sound stopped).
I've had the half notification issue randomly. Not as bad as you though. ?

Having a huge issue where most sounds (ringtone and notification sounds, for example) randomly stop working. Lock / unlock sounds work. Sounds in the camera app work, and so does audio from recorded videos. When trying to play videos in the YouTube app, the app would immediately say that an error has occurred.
Typically, a restart will get sounds working properly, but only for a while. I just so happened to pair a Bluetooth headset to it, and speaker sounds started working again.
It's obviously a big issue if you can't hear the ringtone, and waiting for a software update isn't acceptable for a top flagship.
I couldn't find any non-obvious settings to change.
Any ideas?
If you're using the Samsung SoundAssistant check its settings or disable it completely.

Currently not using Samsung Sound Assistant. The issue is happening regularly, making the phone overall unreliable. The person using it has reported noticeably worse battery life than their 2015 Galaxy J7, so we'll likely just return the S8.
Hi, I have a very annoying issue, not sure if ROM related. I Google searched but too many unrelated results for the search terms.
Since upgrading my phone from stock Nougat to Oreo (latest Galaxy Project) I have the following issue:
Basically, when on a phone call, after ~5 min, a constant beeping noise starts. The beeping is the same as the first default notification sound, but changing the notification tone to something different does not affect the beeping. The beeping doesn't stop even when the call ends. Sometimes closing all apps makes it stop but other times I have to restart the phone.
I've turned off NFC, and disabled call reminders.
Has anyone encountered such an issue?
