Hi,
My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S 5 for a couple of months now. Lately it's been acting strange. I don't know how to explain it properly but here goes. The phone randomly opens apps (you here the click/pop sound). When this starts, it gets worse real quick. The phone gets really laggy and slow, while hearing the sound constantly...sometimes like 50 times repeatedly with no pause. As if you were to hold down a physical keyboard button. Even when I can turn off the display, I still hear the sound. Only when I let the phone flip out and when the sound finally stops, I can resume using the phone. That is until it starts again. Even the interval of when this happens is random.
Can someone help me? I think it's a hardware problem (touchscreen). But I'm no expert.
Phone is a SM-G901F running Android 5.0.2

Hello everyone,
It's been 4 weeks now since I own the HD2. It's quite a beast, I love it. Except there seems to be an issue with my device when it comes to sound (anything: mp3, youtube, ringtones, alarms, even the sound played when you take a photo): it crashes. No matter what I do, no matter when (idle or in use), it makes it crash.
I did the test and couldn't have the phone being used with sound in the same session for more than 4 hours in a row, or it would crash. Sometimes, after a fresh reboot, the first incoming message, leading the phone to play a ringtone to tell me I got a new message, would make the phone crash. Instantly (sound wouldn't play at time, or just the first half-second would play and then nothing or infinite replay of the first 0.5 sec of the sound - quite annoying btw).
So I move to vibration only. And tada! No more crashes. The phone has been up for more than 160 hours now and it never crashed. I used 20MB of my data connection, sent 55 SMS, received tons of emails (like over 200), used the phone functionality for about 150 minutes and everything works fine. Took countless amount of photos and everything just works.
BUT! I miss the sound! I want it. I can't use the phone as an alarm when I'm on a business trip! I can't hear a ringtone when the phone is left on the kitchen table and I'm in the living room (vibrate does the work when the phone is in my pocket or when I'm in a meeting, which doesn't happen a lot).
How can I know if the issue is hardware or software related? Is there something I could install to trace a crash and see what is going wrong? Sometimes, I can use the phone with sound for a couple of hours and other times the very first sound would make it crash. How can I fix this without have to return my phone (bought it in China, wish I could get a replacement but now I'm back in Montreal/Canada).
is your phone branded? where did you buy it?
LG
Similar problem
I have a similar problem. My HTC HD2 crashes when i turn the volume to max.
I have tried uninstalling the SRS WOW application but i does not help.
When booting into Froyo Android v2.2 it doesn't crash but the sound is distant somehow. I can listen to mp3 songs but the vocals will often disappear.
I bought the phone with 3 in Sweden.
Flashed with Kumars custom rom.
Please help!

Please tell me if this is the wrong place for this, but i figured I'd post my working, successful android setup on my HD2.
I am using Chucky's android ROM, 7/23 zimg, but i replaced his radio with 2.12.50.02 and whilst in windows i disabled the sleep timer after 1 min thing. I have had it on for 48 hours now, -amazing- battery life, even with a live wallpaper (mario ftw) never got a SoD, it did give me a gsod the first time i booted, but popped batt out, and rebooted just fine. Like i said been going a solid 48 hours now, great battery, no lag, no sod, phone calls are kind of quiet, which sucks for me, i work in a loud place. So take this how you will, but i'm extremely satisfied with this setup.
I have been having an issue with several builds, radios and wm roms, and now decided to try something.
The Lock/End key was not waking up the device on first touch, sometimes i had to press home, some other times pressing the End key several times, or slide down an imaginary lockscreen in order for the screen to come back and respond as it should.
So.....
I thought I should install AEB plus, or AE button, whatever... to unbind all hardkeys, rather than remap soemthing and reboot... the end key seems to be working now as it should, waking up the device immediately, rather than turning on the black screen. Yay!
Try it and let me know how you get on. Just tried it again, and feels great not having the annoying waking up issue. Hope it keeps this way.
Also, I can confirm that the annoying issue where people you call hear a lot of background noise (mic gain issue), is definately fixed for now using the wired headset that comes with the phone.
Tried connecting some other headphones without microphone and that didnt work. Havent tried using my bluetooth headset to make a call, but in theory it should work too. At least it works for music
Hope this helps some people out there.

Kudos for everyone involved.
In my brand new Samsung Omnia W (Focus Flash), i have discovered wierd issue. When I have headphones connected, there is huge lag when I start doing something that makes sound. It doesnt matter whetrher I play game or write text.
I have idle phone phone and start typing - lag. Screen freezes for a while, about a second, then oudio aoutput is being activated (you can start hear little noise) and phone continues to work, promptly filling text written when freezed.
When I continue typing, there is no this issue anymore cause audio output is still on. But if I pause writing and continue about 2 seconds after, there is lag again, as oudio output is turned off in the meanwhile.
Is it WP7 issue, Samsung Issue, Focus Flash issue or what?
Idk, I don't seem to have this issue on mine...btw, we need a dedicated section for this phone NAO!
I have found another user with same issue with this phone in my city. So its not my phone only, but still cant find out more info about it.
Hi
I'm not sure why I'm experiencing this lately but I use my LG G2 phone normally (surfing and listening to music...etc) but whenever I get a call and I try to swipe to pick the call, I found no response at all. As if I'm NOT doing any swipe at all and I end up missing the call. This happened many times losing calls for just not having a non-working touch screen whenever I get a call. This is driving me mad and I feel like I went totally wrong getting an LG instead of any other famous brand name like Samsung or HTC.
Any ideas are very well appreciated as I'm not quite ready financially to dump this phone yet!

This might be a stupid question, but do you have this problem when you are already using the phone? When you are using the phone already you don't swipe the screen, but you just press the answer button.
Lately I have the same problem. The phone and the touch screen is working correctly in every other situation.
The problem is only when I try to pickup the phone after around the 2nd ringtone. At that point the screen freeze. The buttons are still working, I can turn the screen on / off with the power button and mute the ringtone with the volume.
Anyone had resolved this issue?
So this has happened maybe 3 times now. I did apply the latest OTA and did a hard reset so everything is fresh. I have had this phone lock up on a few occasions now. Last week I had the hardware keys quit responding. The power button and one of the volume rockers just didn't work. I had to download an app from the play store to get the reboot menu to pop up so I could reboot it. Keys were fine after reboot. The few times it has locked up, the phone makes a loud steady buzzer sound then will reboot and everything is fine. The screen will freeze along with the buzzing sound for maybe 10 seconds before rebooting itself. One time I was playing a game, the other was on an incoming wi-fi call it just locked up both times it played the buzzing sound through the speaker and did reboot itself. Starting to think it may be a hardware problem with maybe the PBA board. Only other thing I can think that might be messing it up, I do use adgaurd as a local VPN on this device.
Anyone else have such issues? I don't want to send it into Samsung just to have them tell me everything is fine if it's a software problem causing it. I have already hard reset so at this point I guess I could try to disable adgaurd to see if that helps. Anyone else have any similar problems with this phone?
