Can hear call only with speaker phone turned on.

Wonder anyone got this problem, make outgoing call or incoming call, no voice from internal speaker. But if I press "Speaker On" during call I can hear the voice of the other party.
Playing music song playback sound ok, only during call conversations , both outgoing & incoming, I can't hear any sound unless I turn the speaker-phone on.
seems there is a problem in the phone speaker, though the main speaker is working properly.
Tried hard reset and also changed the SIM, but to no avail.
Any advice? Thanks.

My problem has been solved. I had created a backup of my system with SPB backup and it restored my phone back.
I think the problem arose after installing oldSAP speaker phone, which routed the incoming and outgoing call audio via speakerphone.
However, I cant understand that if it was a software problem, why could'nt it be solved by Hard reset.
Any suggestions ?

My problem with the phone speakers resurfaced, sometimes they behaved and sometimes did'nt, thereby forcing me to turn the speakerphone on for listening to calls.
I finally took my phone to a nearby Mobile Repair Shop. The mechanic told me that it was a common problem in most phones and the only way out was to change the phone speakers. The speakers available were Chinese ones for Rs 150 and what he called original ones for Rs 300. I opted for the latter and he replaced the speakers within 5 minutes, whether he changed the speakers or just refittted the Originals after cleaning? I do'nt know. However, problem solved since then.

I have same problem for about 5months which was described in the first post, and can't solve this problem...any help?

I am also facing the exact problem!!! It was working fine until I accidently did the factory reset... now I have installlllled OS many times with diff vrs. & from stock to diff customized roms but the problem still persists!!!! wondering wat happened!!

Audio problems with phone calls

My focus is having audio issues when I make or receive phone calls. I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me. When I speak into the phone, the mic loops my voice back thru the phone headset. When I shutdown the phone, the first call made or recieved works perfectly but after that, it stops working. I have tried many codes to fix the audio and I have tried a soft and hard reset. I have tried everything I can. Has anyone else had this issue and knows how to fix it? Is this a case where the phone is just dead? Is there a way to reinstall the entire phone system? Everything else on the phones works perfectly. I love the phone and don't want to lose it.

I did have a similar problem if I am reading your post correctly. What happens is for some reason the phone can reroute the mic and through the speaker similar to speaker phone but doesn't function properly. The fix that I found is recalibrating the mic and speakerphone through the diagnosis app. I don't remember exactly what i did but I did fix it through the diagnosis app.
Go into your diagnosis app and test your speakers with a melody test make sure that they are all working.
*#0289# - Melody Test\Test External and Internal Speaker

I have gone in the diagnose program and tried many things and nothing seems to work. It seems that restarting the phone works but the second the first phone call is over, something happens and no other phone call can be heard and they can't hear me. I don't want to have to restart the phone everyy time I want to make a phone call. I am hoping someone can remember how they fixed this problem.

Voice Dialing(bluetooth) issue: no prompt on phone or in headset

Anyone see this behavior? My voice dialing worked before but just stopped. I have wiped the phone and its still doing this. Bone stock, not rooted.
When I "long press" on my Plantronics headset I get the beep like its going to go into the voice dial and a the screen flashes grey but then gets "minimized" immediately. Then the prompt from the lady comes from the phone headset instead of my bluetooth headset. Also nothing shows up on the screen (where it used to have text matching what the text-to-speech voice said). When i say something in the headset the phone doesnt hear it.
I used to use this regularly so its a bit of an annoyance that it doesnt work. I searched but most people are reporting different issues like recognition, general bluetooth bugs, etc.

In case any archaeologists find this thread it appears something was wrong in some cache somewhere. I ran Clean Master to clear all caches and it magically started working normally again.

[Q] Very specific problem with voice dialing from bluetooth headsets

Hi everyone,
First off, I'd like to start by wishing to everyone happy Holidays!
I have been literally searching all over the Internet for any information regarding the issue I am about to describe in detail and since no solutiuon was found, there's nothing left for me to do but ask for help, and hopefully get the right answer. That's why I want to be as specific and informative as I can.
The problem I am having is this; I recently purchased a new Jabra Motion bluetooth headset and decided to start using the voice dialing function on my Galaxy S4, since it works very well (when it works) and is really a breeze, especially while driving.
In short, the problem is that the S4 completely loses audio (other party hears nothing as well) after initiating a call, via voice dial commands through any bluetooth headset (I'll get to that). When that happens, the phone has no in-call audio whatsoever (with headset on or off, with speakerphone or earpiece on), no matter how many times I start or receive a call and nothing brings audio back, except a reboot from the i9505's power button menu. All other audio works, like videos, unlock sounds, ringtone, music, even the little chirp right before the other party's phone starts ringing and the hangup chirp can also be heard. The worst part is, that it occurs completely at random, it can happen on the 1st time I voice dial or the 10th time, for example. The problem has not shown itself, when initiating a call normally or picking up with a headset connected, before audio gets lost.
Before purchasing the Jabra Motion I've been using an earliest model Jawbone Icon and had never even tried the voice dialing feature on any previous phones or the S4. After encountering this problem I tried to test whether or not it would happen when using that headset, the result was yes, so it is safe to say it will happen when using any bluetooth headset, with the same randomness.
This is what both headsets launch on the phone, when attempting to voice dial:
View attachment 2474439
The phone itself is a completely stock and un-rooted 16GB Galaxy S4 i9505, running the latest available Jelly Bean 4.3, build: XXUEMJ7.
The headsets are always connected to 2 devices simultaneously (in case that might shed some light)
What I've tried so far (no difference made, at all):
- Toggled bluetooth off and on
- Tried unpairing and re-pairing both headsets on both phones, or only on i9505
- Tried factory resetting both headsets
- Tried to toggle, while in call, between speakerphone, earpiece, headset, turning off headset and all possible combinations
- Removed Jabra companion app and services app, then reinstalled, then tried without the apps installed.
- Cleared cache from both Jabra apps.
- Cleared cache from system apps such as dialer, bluetooth and Google Search.
- Contacted support of both Samsung and Jabra (huge waste of time)
Sorry for the very long post, but I want to be clear and comprehensive as possible. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Please no factory reset suggestions, I am aware of that possibility, but do not want to go through all the trouble to set up tons of apps and stuff again.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!

Anyone?

Please?

[Q] No Sound During Calls

Randomly when I make calls or receive calls I have no sound. I can't hear them and they can't hear me. Rebooting the phone will fix the issue for a short while. I have been able to reproduce this by connecting to my cars blue tooth and making a call. The 1st call works however all calls after the first call I have no sound again. When the phone in the no sound state (Phone Call) Bluetooth media still works just no sound while in a call. The speakers work because I can play music and the mic still works because I can still record sound. This issue seams to be related to the phone app its self???
My phone is a Samsung S4 (AT&T) with Android 4.4.2 (Rooted via Towelroot) with SuperSU by chain-fire installed.
Here is some of the trouble shooting I have already done.
1. Factory Rest the Phone via Stock Recovery (Still can reproduce the issue)
2. Played around with various settings i.e. Google Now Bluetooth options. Un-paired all Bluetooth devices and then re-paired one to try (Still having same issue)
3. Cleaned out all app cache (Still having same issue)
4. Re-installed pre-installed apps that I removed once rooted.
Long story short, this one has be baffled. The only thing that fixes the issue is re-starting the phone.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Same Problem Here, I may have figured it out:
After I rooted I used some apps to auto kill some running, supposedly non-essential apps. This caused my phone call problems, same exact issue as you're having. A reboot fixed it for me as well. I will let you know if it happens again without closing any apps.......
