Did you get it back? And did they repair it. Maybe we'll bring it back too.

Hi again
We have not got it back yet... I will let you know when that happens. I don't know that they will do but hopefully it is a battery problem.. If it has worked for us I will let you know what they have done.
I think they will have it for another week

That's why I've stayed with the original gmail, maps, and YouTube. I don't like the direction that those Google apps are going, so if it ain't broke, then don't update it.
I was getting a error for every video I was trying to play, I ended up resetting my cable modem and downloaded a yt from ipmart/ mobilism. Now it works no issues.

Low Frequency Beep During Calls

Is anyone else having any issues with the speaker when they are making calls on there S5? Whenever I'm talking with someone on the phone every 4 or 5 seconds I hear a low frequency beep the lasts about 1.5-2 seconds and then it goes away... After another 4 or 5 seconds it does it again. I really hope it's a software issue as I don't want to send my new phone in for a repair already.

I will have to try contacting Samsung about the problem. I will let you know what they say. I doubt target would do a straight exchange on the device.

Try disabling CARRIER IQ or removing it if you are rooted and then check for the beep afterwards see if it's gone and let us know what your results.

Well if you are not rooted go into settings then backup and reset and then collect diagnostics and uncheck it and this theoretically turns it off, now if you are rooted you can install root explorer open it up make sure that you are mounted as rw then search the root directory for carrier iq and delete it this removes it from the device.

I have the exact same problem and it annoys the **** out of me when I'm talking on the phone. I'd just love to get an answer why this is happening or just get rid of the problem..
I still haven't found a solution for it.. going to have a look into the carrier iq thing.. any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

The first thing I did was disable carrier iq when I got my s5 and after seeing this post I made a call to check for the noise and I dont hear it so maybe the carrier iq thing is the ticket.

Sorry.. but what exactly do you mean by "disable carrier iq"? Cause I'm a real newbie when it comes to doing administrative stuff to your phone...
I also thought that it maybe could be worth Factory reseting your phone? But I've got a lot of settings and stuff that I don't want to do again.. but if it's really needed I'll do it.

I tried that. But I'm afraid it did not work.. The annoying sound is still active. But the weird thing is that sometimes and on some calls it's occures very often and being annoying as hell.. and then again it can be off for like another call that lasts 30min+.. I hope that it's the phones own speaker that's broken or something..
Haha I hope you're wrong.. I really hope it's related to carrier iq

Ok did you guys did you try tutning noise reduction off in call settings that also does some weird shizz so I usualy leave it off, try that and see what happens.

Yeah. I tried all of them regular settings. Minutebeep, noise reduction etc.. The sound kept going. But I also noticed that when I connected my headphones and talked trough them that there was no annoying sound.. so I guess it's something with the phones own speaker.
But I put the phone on service today after 11 days of usage... lol. Hope they'll fix it!
I don't hear the issue when I'm using bluetooth in my car either. That being said I'm pretty sure it's a issue with the speaker in the phone. Time to swap it out for another device!

So Undergrad.. are you really swapping it in for another phone? They actually gave me that option.. but I kind of said no.. I just wanted my phone to work 100%.. maybe it was a stupid choice..

Target is ordering me a new device and hopefully it resolves the issue. It certainly appears that the issue is with the speaker.

Nexus 4 shutdown everytime

Hi guys, there's a nexus 4 of my friend that shutdowns every time I try to turn it on. It's all stock, not rooted and bootloader locked.
I tried a factory reset and it worked for some days but it started again this noisy shutdown.
How can I try to restore it?

How old is the battery, do you know how many charging cycles did it have?
What apps do you use? Do you feel the phone heating up before shutting down?

Battery problem

Camera failed on SM-G900H

Hi, yesterday my camera stopped working. I've seen this googling it, but I always come up with Verizon phones. Mine is factory unlocked. Also all information I came up with, was from April. Any ideas on these? I'm not home, I'm on vacations and these really sucks as I can not take anymore pictures.

Not only you, Sometime me and other users also faced this problem..
When I heavily used my phone and too many application running in background, on that time I faced this issue..
But after restart the device, problem gone.
I have hard reset it and still have same problem. I think tomorrow I will go to samsung and see what they tell me. I will post it

I'm experiencing the same here

S4 no sound

okay so im going to start from scratch, my s4 has randomly started giving me no sound, ive had it tested and all my components are good so it has to be software.
i have flashed multiple roms, modems and wifi fix
but im willing to give anything a go just let me know!
beginning to really stress me out! i have included a pic of my current setup, cheers and thanks for the help!
does no one have a clue on this?
i was thinking maybe wait for the lollipop update and it may sort itself out?
or flash another stock rom and gsm modem only?
i have already triggered knox so not really worried about the method, anything would be of great help!

Im not sure what's goin on . It might be a Hardware issue? Try pulling the battery out / factory reset/ wipe data in recovery . If its still.doing the same issue . Wait And Let see what firmware @Joku1981 will give you . It might fix this problem . Anyways Goodnite for now .
Yes sorry to disturb you, I've had my device tested it's been going on that long it all came back okay :/ thanks a lot it's definitely improved!

factory reset no luck, cache wipe no luck, battery pull no luck, i was thinking try flash a stock rom? have a feeling ive got a few duff ones, any recomendations?
Whether it helps or not apart from no sound, videos play in slow motion, battery when unplugged from fully charge drops to around 80% and sometimes when the phone is booted it boots with no signal and a black top bar, before restarting again normally
