Very weird sound - First time i ever hear it - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
The sound started playing 2-3 days ago everytime i power my screen on.
The sound in question
Its not the lockscreen, i dont remember to install any new apk.
The issue is also linked with the infrared sensor not working properly. When im calling someone the screen flashes near my ear (the screen is not black)
Do you know whats causing it?
Many thanks!

I think it's s voice or talkback

Both are disabled... Is it possible is bios? Or maybe something overheating?

Clicking noise when on a call......

I just noticed a small muted clicking noise while on calls.....
Is anyone else experiencing any type of speaker problem?
I have had the phone a couple days and didnt notice it till today after using the media player for a while.
Not sure if its something common or just my device.

Urgent help with galaxy s4

Hey guys this thing thats been happening to me is absulotely mind boggling and if anyone can resolve this it would be greatly appreciated. it bugs me like theres no tomorrow.
so heres the issue.
i have a samsung galaxy s4 with all the latest updates provided Android Version 4.2.2
when im travelling along in the car or even randomly seated i would receive a call or even make a call and place my phone on loudspeaker now the funny thing here is that the phone after maybe 10-20 seconds will automatically switch back to normal speaker and it annoys me so i have to put it back on loudspeaker mode
ive had the occasional scene where it still showed that loudspeaker was activated but the caller was coming through the normal speaker so it forces me to tap loudspeaker to de-activate it and then tap it again to activate only to realise not long after it automatically switched back to the normal speaker all over again.
NOTE: the phone is laying flat on my lap or standing infront of me.
has anyone had this issue before and is there some sort of fix for it
PLEASE HELPPP !!!

So I have found that the only way I can get the loudspeaker to stay on is too keep the screen on after a few fiddling here in there I need to know how to force screen on when it on loudspeaker

[Q] Low in-Call Volume after Rooting/Unlocking

Curious if anyone else is running into this... I am rooted and unlocked, running stock 183.46.10.XT907. I am on the 4.4 kernel as I rooted and unlocked from there and have not gone back to 4.1.2.
The volume is set at max using the volume key.
I've experienced the low call volume on Slim, CM11, and fastbooted back to stock to try to correct the problem.
Started in safemode, does not appear to be related to a 3rd party app.
Anyone experienced/overcome this or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Yes I to have noticed this with not only the in call (both speaker phone and non)but also YouTube haven't looked into a resolution not on the phone that much ... I've had issues with it pressing buttons to have you or anyone else...it's not an issue with the proximity sensor as the display is off...

I haven't had issues with the hardware buttons, but appreciate hearing I'm not the only one. The speaker phone and speaker have normal volume for music, it is just in call that it seems muted.

Tried everything but going back to 4.1.2. Took to cleaning the area, even though not visibly clogged or dirty, with canned air/paintbrush/vacuum and it made it livable. It's better but not what it was.
Anyways- I would go to cleaning it first if you run into the same problem, you should get a little of the function back.

[Q] sometimes when I call the other side doesn't hear me

Hi
I bought a new motorola droid razr m,
I use it international (GSM and WCDMA) and sometimes the other side does not hear me (Like a silence). Is there any way to fix it? an app or something?
Please help It is a good phone but it does not worth it if it does not work perfectly.
Does it happen on speaker phone also?
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Actually, I have a similar problem. When on speakerphone, the other person can hardly hear me, and so the feature is basically useless. And I've also noticed that the in-ear speaker is also on the low audio quality side. Is this a hardware issue? If so, might be time to upgrade...
i have the same problem from time to time but hasent happened since i updated to kitkat but its too soon to tell if the update did anything about that issue. one thing that i noticed if i pressed the google talk button on the top of the main screen it would strobe like there was st\eady sound waves going through no matter how silent the room was, its easier to test with google search button rather than make calls. (i would not recomend this uness you are out of ideas or just dont care) but i slammed it against a wall a couple times and whadaya know it started to work again. it may sound caveman-ish but maybe if youve dropped it few times something becomes slightly disconnected :silly: i got mine for free cause the screen was cracked slightly in exchange for some time fixing a friends xbox so i didnt really care about messing anything up any further but it worked for me.

No sound coming from earpiece - software related pleeeease help!!!

Hey guys, so I've been having a horrible issue with this phone and I can't for the love of god find the reason behind it.
Sometimes my earpiece just doesn't work, be it for calls or anything else. In fact, if I press the play button on a whatsapp voice note and put the phone to my ear even though it turns the screen off it actually pauses the audio, which may already be an indicative that the problem isn't hardware related, as it would just keep playing with no sound coming out if the problem was the actual speaker. This problem comes and goes (but it's there 80% of the time) and when the earpiece works sound is loud and clear. When I reset the phone, it worked all the time, but as soon as I install my apps and all, problem comes back. I really need help to find out what's causing it... Is there a way for me to know if a specific process from some app is doing it? Has anyone had a similar problem??? My phone simply can't be used as a phone right now =(
If u r sure it is software related reflash the software via Odin
