[Q] ABSURD problem that makes no sense!!! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there kind geniuses on XDA forum I have a challenge here that only you can solve!!
I'm an android lover who consider himself an "advanced user" and thank to your forum guides and my friend Google i always being able to solve any problem with my phone... Until now!!!
I'm stuck with this ABSURD problem which I couldn't find a solution!!
My phone is a Galaxy S4 i9505.
Few days ago I went to sleep with my phone working flawlessly and in the morning I noticed I couldn't hear any sound apart from the startup sound and I had a lot of random freeze and reboots.
Since then, my dear geniuses, I've tried EVERYTHING I could think of but with no success on fully solve the problem. :crying:
This is ALL I've tried so far:
-Insert the headphones (no sound comes out the headphones)
-connect bluetooth headphones (any sound works perfectly out the bluetooth headphones)
-Start the phone with/without headphones and with/without external SDcard
-Wipe EVERYTHING (data, system internal and external SD)
-try 2 different custom roms (omega v40 and S4 Google edition)
-install viper4android app and drivers
-flash the original stock rom/bootloader with Odin
-flash the original stock rom/bootloader plus the pit file with the options "auto-reboot" "F.Reset time" re-partition" and "nand-erase-all" all enabled
No 100% success... :'( :crying:
Right now I'm at this point:
I have the Google edition rom "danvdh-GE-4.4.2-02182014-INT" obviously rooted with last busy box.
-I have less freeze and reboots but still happens randomly
-I can hear all the sounds through the Bluetooth headphones if I connect them
-I can hear the startup sound
-When I call or receive a call I can hear from the speaker, the loudspeaker and the headphones
-No other sound from any music player, no ringtone, no dial-pad tones, no touch sounds, no screen lock sound
-Sometimes, very rarely and completely random, I can hear some sound but with a bit of delay
-When I try to watch any video (online or offline) they are very slowed down unless I watch them with VLC player
-The phone take pictures and videos regularly.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
I thought about being a hardware problem but WHY I can hear the startup and the in-calls sounds??
And WHY through the Bluetooth headphones I can hear everything loud and clear?!?
Sorry guys for the Essay and PLEASE help me... I really have no more ideas... It just DOESN'T MAKE SENSE and it's making me crazy!! :silly:

Audio problem

Recently, I encountered a problem in my trinity. For unknown reason, I cannot play audio through the phone speaker after bootup.
1) When I power on the phone, WM startup sound play fine.
2) However, after bootup, no sound can be played thru phone's speaker (music, alert etc)
3) Audio can be played/heard thru the earphone.
4) Flashed to several cooked and official rom, and all exhibit the same problem.
5) Yesterday, by chance, I discovered that i can managed to play through the speaker when connected to PC/charger.
It seems like a battery problem, but the present battery is still good, providing >2days of usage. Need advice to confirm this, before I proceed to get a replacement.
Thank in advance.

Media audio effects crashing after phone call in some players

Hey guys,
Since the first day I bought defy (04.2011.) I`m having some strange audio issues. In the beggining some players, like Winamp, had crackling noises when changing the song on my Defy but that`s ok now, maybe was the app code problem, and the latest problems are related to media audio effects (in sound settings).
Currently I`m having extreme bass option selected and everything is working fine until I get a call, or I call someone, and after ending a call I can hear that the sound on my headset is different like someone turned off audio effects even though they are turned on. turning them off and on again donesn`t make any difference. After I reboot my phone everything is ok again.
In the beggining problem was only with Google`s music player and atrix music player (like that in MSGinger) but now I`m having this problem even with Poweramp, Winamp, Playerpro which leaves me only with CMP since all the other have ugly UI so I`m not going to try them.
It was happening on 2.2.2CEE, 2.3.6en.EU (BL7 nandroid) and now I flashed BL6 SBF, 2.3.6 en.FR and the problem still persists.
Is anyone else having this strange issue and how, if there is a solution, to solve this??
Thanks for any help. Sorry for my long post
P.S. Red lensed Defy manufactured in the beginning of 2011.

[Q] Notification causes music to play from speakers with headphones plugged in.

Hey guys! Sorry for just appearing here with a question. I hope you can help me.
I have a really bad problem with my Galaxy S5. My S4 was fine until I updated to Lollipop, so I think that's the problem.
I'm playing music with headphones plugged in, Whatsapp notification sound plays through speakers.
That's fine.
BUT suddenly during notification, the music ALSO plays through the speakers for a few seconds! This is really frustrating because I receive messages throughout the day and don't want everyone around me to be disturbed with what I'm listening to (in library, on bus, etc.).
Thank you so much for any advice you can give me! Nothing I try works.
PS: Before Lollipop, Whatsapp notification would play on speakers and audio still through headphones. That was fine.
I have exactly the same issue.
This is so annoying. I've tried the soundabout app but it freezes my phone when starting a call.
I have root and am running extrolite rom -I don't want to flashflash Cm - without avail.

Note 3 car bluetooth issues

I have a Kenwood excelon DDX793 radio with BT audio and phone. Two problems:
- I experience stuttering while playing music, and sometimes it's so bad that the music app crashes.
- I can't hear anyone nor can they hear me when I make or receive a phone call. It does show an incoming call and I can make an outgoing call from the radio, but anything audio related, forget it. If I do talk loudly next to the microphone, while listening to my land line phone, I do hear a very low pitched sound. Picture and old Walkman cassette player running out of batteries.
I've searched on the net, but I couldn't find anything really useful, or I might be using the wrong wording.
It's a Note 3 SM-N900W8, factory unlocked. I did not try the stock ROM , as I went straight to rooting it and using a custom ROM. I've tried two stable ROMs, but both do the exact same thing. Could I be missing out on a firmware update?
I've tried safe mode, factory resets, different ROMs, as mentioned above, but no changes. I can live with a bit of stutter, but if I can't hear the other individual at the other end, that's a huge problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Got it fixed. Used a stock Lollipop ROM and it resolved the BT issues. Now it's my hot keys that don't work. Oh this is rich...

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,

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.
