Hello everyone,
When I try to answer a call the ringtone volume will spike for a very short of time. The spike will make the volume peak at it highest. Anyone has this problem?
very annoying
Anyone
I've bought the note 4 just 5 days ago and I've just recently noticed this particular sound issue too. I'm wondering if it's just a software bug... It's so weird that just you and me are having this issue that I'm really thinking that it could be a hardware issue...
My friend also has the same problem. He use N910c as well

Do you still have this problem? Do you think that it's software related or hardware related? Does flashing a newer rom stones this issue?

I would love to have answer as well, but i'm in the same boat. However, I tried to set the same ringtone as an alarm with max volume and when i try to stop/snooze it doesn't do that. I even tried the MOD that is on the app section which change the volume on the note 4. It did increase my speaker volume but i didn't do anything in fixing the issue. I also tried to install an app called "Disable Increasing Ring" which remove the low volume on the first ring but it didn't help either.
I tried to post this on another forum looking for help and one guy said "Check the setting that maximizes the volume on ringing." I don't know what does that mean.

I tried the "Disable Increasing Ring" app too, because I initially tought that it was a bug of the increasing ringtone feature that is present since Android v.4.3... But it didn't work. I've also flashed another rom and the issue persisted.
I don't know... What drives me crazy is that some people have this problem but the majority just don't! Of it is a firmware problem, it should happen with everyone that has the same rom...
I'm also worried because this spike in the ringtone volume may damage the loudspeaker through time...
To be honest, I'm just about to return my phone!!!
Same here. 910c version.

What rom did you try on your Note 4? I think I will wait until the SC810 Note 4.

I've tried 02 official stock roms: ZTO (Brazil - International Unlocked) and ZTA (Brazil - Claro Branded).
I did the Factory Reset and wiped the Cache Patition using the Stock Recovery, and then flashed these roms using Odin 3.09
Then I started the phone, didn't logged in my google account nor in my samsung account, and so I did'd download nor intalled any app. I didn't make any changes on the phone's configuration menu.
Then, with the phone like this, I've called myself using my girlfriend's phone and, unfortunately, when I swiped to answer the call the damn sound bug was still present!!!
Since I know many other users that run these roms and don't have this problem, I'm assuming that it's a hardware issue particular to my note 4 unit.
So I have no other choice: I'll return my phone as soon as possible!

SO you installed another Samsung rom? that won't help to identify the issue.

Why not??? The point is that people running the same Samsung rom that I have simply don't have this problem. The fact is that every note 4 unit should be able to run a stock rom and not present this particular bug. I mean, it must be a hardware issue because my method excluded all the particular changes in the sistem that could be caused by apps or some configuration options... So, after excluding all those factors, if two identical models are running the same identical roms, the only reason that one unit has a bug and the other don't is that they aren't really identical, i.e. because one of them has a hardware problem/difference.
The other point is that if I want to use my warranty rights, I must not have root access nor use a custom rom, because I don't wat to trigger my flash counter or my knox counter...
So it makes absolutely no sense that I must loose my warranty and use a coustom rom to get rid of a problem that doesn't even exists in the vast majority of note 4 units that are able to run the stock rom without presenting this issue.

I feel like people have this problem but they don't pay attention to it as much as we do. But let me know please how it goes with you. If a replacement worked with you or not.
Thanks
Well, it bother me, but I believe Samsung will fix it. Let wait for lollipop update.

We're already using this app, but it didn't solve our problem.
Same issue on a SM-N910C in Bulgaria. Phone taken from operator Telenor. I hope that there is a solution.

First I have been trying to use search before this post but is unable to work, and after spending few hours in google trying to find a similar situation, finally decided to come here and ask if someone have experienced something similar, my device Galaxy S4 I9500 after yesterday every sound started to heard like the chipmunks, songs, voice notes even notifications, and can't find what caused this.
Please bring some light what needs to be corrected in order to fin all the sounds in my s4, thank you all.
Did you root your phone? Or modify some files that may have caused this? If not, then it may be hardware problems

Yes my device is rooted but I didn't modify any file system yet related with sounds.

Maybe some app you installed recently messed up your phone. I don't think is a hardware problem.
Try a factory reset and clear cache from recovery.

Whenever i do something related To The sound (open Music player for exemple)The Phone freezes.I'm on imperium lollipop 7.1 i have tried do factory resect And Back to stock firmware with Odin,flash new kernel,new modem and new bootloader,But nothing change

Freeze or restart on playing any sound.

It's OK for a minute after restart, but no more than the minute
Did you flash any custom rom before?

i have flashed a custom ROM only after this problem,but nothing change.I went to a china fix store and they said its the motherboard...can this be true?
Try connecting your earphones to the output jack, if it works than try to change the kernel. If still broken than I'd guess it's hardware problem, but probably not the moderboard ( correct me if wrong )

with earphones still no sound...i think its hardware problem
I have the exact same problem from 15 days ago mate, i ll add to that : the phone overheats under the flash led section as soon as it starts, searching i found some talks about faulty Audio IC chip located there. I did not find a solution, some repairing shops told me they wont even open it here since they know about it, and said it's not repairable...
Now phone even reboots itself, you ll have that too after some days i guess...
Its really annoying since its a replacement for a faulty hardware s3 unit...eMMc chip died on me.
If you find something to fix it let me know please.
I serrendered.
PS : and videos wont play anmore too, right?
I don't think it's about hardware, because my freeze a little on loading audio stuff and it's sometimes OK.
I have tried two roms but no chance.
Is there any link of some stock kernel to flash via odin?
well i think we have to surrender
Try stock and check in accessibility ..if all sounds are off ..

So I'm on a ported s6 rom (aurora) for note 3 (n900w8).
I've been noticing this problem, where a phone call would come, but no vibration with it even though the mode was set as vibration mode.
I have missed many phone calls because of this.
At first I thought I simply failed to notice the vibration, but yesterday I witnessed it not vibrating during the incoming phone call. Screen comes on, incoming call screen pops, but no vibration.
This problem persisted ever since lollipop (I think). Had the same problem in the previous roms (other note 3 lollipop roms).
Oh and it happens when the phone is in idle. If a phone call comes while i'm using the phone, it vibrates just fine.
So I was suspecting it might be blocked wakelock or alarm issue. But then again, the only app i'm using for that purpose is Servicely (by chainfire), and I only have a couple apps checked (ie. facebook, google play services, keep, mega, supersu...etc).
TW 5.0.2.
No xposed framework installed.
Rooted/deodexed.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? Any fixes? Help plz. This is starting to bother me a lot...
anybody at all ?
Well as long as the vibrating motor is okay I don't think there is much to think. You are on a ported ROM, so some bugs are to be expected. If you were experiencing the same on an official 5.0 ROM that would be bothering, but as its not you should ask about this in that ROM's thread.
Do you have enabled the power saving option? If yes, try to deactivate it and see if it still not working.
Flash an official rom.
'Ported' Roms are usually very poorly done, as they are meant for other devices.

Hi
Recently my S6e+ has stopped working during calls. More times than not when someone phones me they cannot hear me but i can hear them perfectly. I will phone them back and then it will work perfectly and they can hear me. It doesn't seem to matter whether it is an incoming or outgoing call.
I thought it was due to root and xposed being installed however i went back to stock and the issue is still there. I have tried using the voice recorder app and it works perfectly every time!
Very strange. Any ideas?
I know there is another thread about call issues but i don't believe it is exactly the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Which kernel do you use? Probably related with kernel, but could be mixer_paths too. Whats been changed or flashed in recents?

Currently on skyhigh 4.0. I have recently installed xposed with the following modules.
Gravity box
Wanam
Amplify
Greenify
Flat style bars
Xblast
Blurred system ui
I have also installed v4a.
I can also vaguely remember installing a ROM which had CSC options, would this affect calls?

i have updated the kernel to 4.4 but the problem still persists. I managed to get my hands on stock CSC files (apart from the feature.xml) and now messages work fine. Calls are still intermittent though, its almost like my microphone is turned off and the caller cant hear me, but i can hear them?

Yes I've faced this issue too but which rom I cant remember, I think I reflash the rom cleanly and fixed this. At the other hand I saw this issue in note 5 thread too. Dr. Ketan's has got fix zip to this, but not sure if it works for edge plus or not.

I have no problem with calls now. Will this fix or not dont know but I prefer you to try replacing mixer_paths.xml from stock rom or Audax rom to your current rom(/system/etc)(Dont forget to set permissions as rw- r- r). Whichever rom you use still have no idea but maybe you try different kernels like arter97 too(If you havent tried yet)..

When I flash a Tmobile based rom, I use this way to fix it and it works ok. Present days Im using Note 5 rom which is n920G.. based. Havent replaced anything but no problem with calls. If you havent had that issue before the custom rom or something you flash which causes this issue, its probably a software issue. Otherwise Im gonna think your mic has broken down..
Same problem here. Did you manage to fix it by any chance?
I have a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge which is using android lollipop 6.0.1 and suffer from the following problems.
Video problem:
I could not watch any video in my device.
got this error “Sorry, cannot play this video."
Gallery video even if it has been recorded by the camera earlier.
Audio problem:
I’m not able to play any music, got this error “couldn't play the track you requested."
When i go to the settings to change the ringtone I am not hearing any sound for all them.
I did not put the phone in silent mode but no sound for any received calls, notifications or SMS.
I tried everything i know to solve this issue, I done all of the following but it does not works:
Clear the cache memory.
Uninstall all the application from the device.
Factory reset.
The phone is not rooted and the lattest update have been installed. Using official Turkey firmware
The only thing work with me is to restart the device but it will not solve the problem permanently, it will happen again after few hours.
Samsung service said that bring it to us so that we would install firmware.
Does it work? If so I can do this by myself.
I would appreciate if any one helps me in this regard.
Sadly, you're not the only one facing this issue, see thread below. I'm afraid there doesn't seem to be a solution to this as it seems to be hardware fault. I had my S7 Edge replaced by O2(UK).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/galaxy-s7-edge-gold-sound-t3346881
As I mentioned in my first thread samsung service said to bring it to them so that they would install firmware. If it works I can do it myself. Now downloading it from sammobile. But you say it is a hardware fault. Really? Terrible. What should we do then?
thanks for link. there are many users who faces with same problem. But does it software problem or hardware?

how was the replacement process?
Did they offer you you first for instance?
Did the phone stay there, if yes how long? etc.
For me, it's my carrier O2 who replaced my device, not Samsung. Process was simple, courier collects the old phone, and delivers new one at the same time.

hımm, nice. thanks. I'll see whether my carrier too works or not But hope it will be ok after I install firmware through odin. If not I'll give it to service for replacement.
my phone ofter installing the lattest official Turkey firmware did the same thing. turned off all sounds. Nothing solves this prob only restarting it. What if I install onother country's official firmware? Do this help? or any other solution?
Samsung service says coz you bought your phone turkcell operator you have install its firmware? Is that true?
If this doesn't solve the problem, he says, we may change required parts inside phone. I said how come you do this its a new phone? He said after one month from buying it isnt get changed only reparing.
what should I try to solve this problem?
