Hello
I just bought the LG G3 and I have a strange problem where every time I try to make a call, I get no sound in the earpeace, and instead in the status bar I see a small icon representing a headphone jack. If I try to switch to loudspeaker it works, but not with the earpeace. Can someone please tell me if that is a software issue or a phone defect??? Thanks in advance
P.S. the phone is running the latest stock firmware and has undergone several factory resets
I had a similar issue. Can't replicate it on demand either and don't know how to fix it.
Never plugged in headphones. Happened about a day of usage after taking the phone out of the box. Completely stock.
Had the phone replaced for another issue and the replacement did the same thing after I'd say 2 days or so. No particular reason. I was on the phone with someone and out of nowhere I couldn't hear them but they heard me. Checking and un-checking speaker didn't do anything .

Hi everyone;
I have an S5 running on android 5.0 stock. It has an annoying problem. When I call someone, he hears his own voice in his own phone. This doesn't happen everytime, but usually happens in %30-40 percent of my calls.
I sent the headset to the warranty but they said it has no problem. If I factory reset phone, the problem is gone for about 2-3 weeks and after that it starts again.
I tried factory reset, disabled talkback (as suggested in some forums), disabled noise reduction, used without protective case etc... I tried many things without success. Please help.
Galaxy s5 echo
Solved echo problem. The battery on my galaxy s5 was slightly swollen, pushing the cover out. If you look at the back cover there is a gasket or seal whichever. The battery pushing out keeps it from sealing. So just get a new battery.
I keep having random split screen activation, as if I were long-pressing the Recents capacitive button... I've had this occur while the phone was laying on my desk/lap/just sitting in the palm of my hand, not touching anything. Thought it was me, just not used to the curved edge, until I put my phone in a case and still have the issue. My girlfriend doesn't have the issue at all with her S7 Edge, both purchased at the AT&T store on the 11th. I also noticed that her speaker bezel at the top of the phone is flush... mine is raised just a hair... anyone else having these issues? I've factory reset, which seems to have reduced the split screen activating, but it is still happening. I've also tried turning off some of the extra gestures and smart settings, but that didn't help either.
This has happened to me rarely, but it has.. also sometimes when scrolling down a webpage, it will randomly select a whole paragraph like i just long pressed the paragraph to copy text.. possible something caused by samsung using their own proprietary digitizer for the first time
Well, glad I'm not the only one. I'm contemplating returning it as defective....
Does your top speaker stick out at all or is it flush with the screen? I'm sure that has nothing to do with it of coarse... just something I noticed when comparing my Edge to the other one we got when upgrading.

Id say it sticks out a few milimeters, not much tho

Just downloaded an app from the store called "multi window toggle", works perfectly. No more random split screen. Only problem so far, you have to manually enable it after a restart.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give that toggle app a try and see if it helps!
Honestly, I really wish I could control what apps allow split screen... I think that alone would save me a ton of headache.
experiencing the same thing. hasn't affected my day to day usage in a negative way yet. it's indeed annoying
I really hope this is a software glitch, the thought of paying so much for electronics and having the nagging feeling that the device you got isnt as perfect as others that have been sold just makes me feel uneasy.. i dont want to send it for warranty although from past experience, samsung is very fast and fixing and returning your phone, the longest wait is the two way 2day shipping they provide.. i just want it to be working as intended! Just like you, i feel better that im not the only one, but id feel even better if there were MORE people experiencing this (does that make me a bad person?)
Same issue here
Also happening to me. I know this is the AT&T area, but I have the GS7 from TMobile. So is not just a unique to the AT&T variant. That app that some people has recomended to deactivate the split acreen feature works, but is not a permanent solution. Hope Samsung fix it in a software update... I hope is not a hardware issue.
I went to the T-Mobile store to try to exchange it for another one. Since the issue is hard to prove (it doesn't happen every time), casually, the person that helped me at the store was the manager (who was greeting the customers that came in). After describing the problem to her, she told me that T-Mobile had received an alert in their systems about this issue and that it appears to be a hardware problem. They exchange mine for free even when I had exceeded the 14 day window.
Just got off the phone with samsung and they said, get this, there are no reported issues with this device.. they gave me a ring around, wanted to remotely access my device and couldnt offer a valid reason why they would need to do that.. eventually in the end they refered me to exchange the device at at&t but with "no known issues" and being past the 14 day return time, i have a feeling im in for a huge headache at the at&t store... what a nightmare. Very disappointed in the first samsung phone ive ever purchased.. htc never did me wrong like this...

What to do?
Will there be an update to fix this?
I don't know if i should go and exchange my s7 edge. I can't live with this random multi window for over a year.
But if they will fix it in an update, i dont want to send it to repair, in Denmark it will take over 2 weeks before you get a new one.
I Hope they will fix it in an update
Glad this isn't just me, the split screen popup is really starting to bother me. I also have issues when on a WiFi network, tether my car to the phone, then drive away, my WiFi breaks and I have to restart the phone to get data working. I called Rogers, my carrier in Canada, and they are not aware of it being a hardware/Samsung issue. The tech has heard of the split screen issues but said there is no recall on the device yet and it might be fixed with software. Unless anyone can confirm that replacing their device with a new one fixes this, I just might wait a bit.
split screen activating seems to occur most frequently when I first unlock the device. Other times it just activates randomly.
New update?
I just updated my galaxy s7 edge and it seems like most of the problems are gone. The touch sensitivity has been decreased it seems, the split screen has not activated yet.
It also seems like they turned a bit down for the animations.
I live in denmark, so i have the nordic updates.
Will report back here
New update
Hey guys!
Denmark just got a new update for the s7 and s7 edge called: XXU1APD1.
Hat it for 2 days now, and i have no random split screen activations. Other bugs are gone to!
Just had it happen to my AT&T S7. Phone was on my desk and on the home screen when the split screen activated without me pressing anything. Hopefully it gets fixed with the new XXU1APD1 update.
Had the latest software update two days ago for my S7 Edge, XXU1APD1, in the UK.
No more split screen random activations (I used to get it at least once a day often more).
So far so good.
Now if only AT&T would update us.... I'm glad that it appears to be a software glitch... i just about chucked my phone across the parking lot earlier because of that splitscreen crap... was getting ready to call Samsung this afternoon... I can not live with this on a brand new phone...
AT&T.... update your ****!!!!!!!
Ok. AT&T has actually released an update! Guess I jumped the gun fussing, I'm downloading it currently and will report back tomorrow (4/21) if I no longer have splitscreen issues. I really hope this fixes it!
Noticed within a few hours after rooting, my mic was not working. Callers could not hear me. This occurs for both regular calls and Hangouts calls. This dosen't seem to be a hardware issue as the mic works for google voice assistant. Seems to occur out of the blue, and so far ive been messing with settings and somehow the mic began working again, but the issue repeated itself later yet again.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Looks like im a loner with this issue. This may still be a HW issue. Might swap and get a new phone while i still can and see if the issue persists.
I have a river_amz I just obtained, waiting for sis to come over and get the FRP thing sorted. I'm going to be rooting immediately after unlocking bootloader. I will post here and let you know if I experience the same thing.
Have you found out anything since your last post regarding this btw?
No. It's been solidly working all day yesterday. Trying to make it fail again.
My only hope is its not a intermittent HW issue that will pop up bigtime after my return window expires.

So far, I've not experienced the issue on a rooted river_amz on 16_7.
Mic on MOTO G7 not working
I'm having an issue like this, but my mic just does not work at all. I'm pretty sure this one is a hardware issue because the only way I can talk to people is plugging in headphones. Do you have the regular G7, or the play/power/plus?
