i just notice this recently that everytime i reboot the phone it makes a clicking noise every 1 second interval and continues until the boot logo appears (that samsung galaxy s II along with exclamation mark) so far i haven't noticed anything wrong since the clicking occurs but it got me worried
i DO flashed about 6 kernel before it occurs << is this the culprit?
Had this happen once and was prior to flash of another ROM so not sure if just flashing the other ROM worked but I'd advise hard-reset if not then flash another ROM/Kernel/Modem combo.
I've had this when re-booting or in odin mode with some kernels.
Flashing a different kernel seems to fix it.
Not sure what it is making the clicking sound though. It doesn't seem to come from the camera area (my first guess was that it might be the camera focus).
I flashed another kernel and ROM, everything from this topic, step by step (including all aditional apps). I'm on locked BL and I used *v06-1113 [medium OVERCLOCK VERSION] kernel (the weird thing is that my device is not OC-ed, it says 998 MHz in ROM toolbox).
Everything works fine and I love this ROM but I have just one but big problem; Spotify app doesn't work anymore. It worked like a charm on stock kernel & ROM but here nothing. I can listen to 2-3 songs (sometimes only one) and after changing track or seeking through tracks the sound just dissapear. I can see the track's playing but no sound. When this occurs, there's no audio on player as well and If I press volume up or down key, my device freezes (get stucked) and doesn't respond on any key or screen so I have to pull out the battery. Seems like audio driver crashed, but I don't get any error.
I tried rebooting the phone, installing spotify app again etc. but nothing. It was working fine on stock ROM and kernel. I want to upgrade to Spotify Premium but I have to fix this before so please, help me. Do I have to use another ROM/Kernel or it can be fixed?
The only thing that comes to my mind are problems during flashing kernel. I tried 2-3 times and always got Installation aborted but when I gave up and rebooted the phone, the Kernel was magically installed (I got another logo and I saw in Settings > About that this Kernel is installed).
Thank you!
Hi I have a galsxy s2 gt-9100 that is running 4.0.3 (xxlp6) rooted and i want to change the audio setting as the in call volume is low. I have done allot of reading on this but have not get found a answer to this. I have entered the code to access the service menu and select option 5 which just says audio, but it just refreshes to the same menu.
I have tried a different kernel and the menu use to say audio is blocked.
Im stuck now any ideas would be most appreciated.

And you have already set the volume level to maximum in Sound settings?!
If that is not loud enough for you, try to flash latest SiyahKernel and increase the extra sound settings in STweaks app (which will automatically installed after flashing the kernel).
Maybe this can help.
Good luck !
am i right this kernel is only 6 mb in size??
i have flashed with obin but there is no change have i done something wrong?
You must change settings in STweaks.
Flashing kernel without changing settings will have no effect.
Dear all!
Two or three weeks ago I have started expecting some annoying problem. Not sure what is the source but whatever.
During incoming call with disabled screen there are some lags/breaks with call sound and even vibration up to enabling screen. The call sound is built-in so it is not due to extcard problems.
I am expecting almost the same when playing music by any player - from stock to Poweramp: when screen comes off the sound is terrible: it breaks a lot. Enabling screen eliminates the problem.
The problem is completely absent with stock radio player.
Enabling/disabling locking and/or energy saving mode does not affect - the problem persists.
I have tried to remove any modification excepts root: I have installed stock XXEMA2 with wiping dalvik - it doesn't help.
Do you have any idea what can be the source of problem and how to solve it? Please do not recommend data wipe (I expect it is the first idea for everyone )
Do you have any idea what can be the source of problem and how to solve it? Please do not recommend data wipe (I expect it is the first idea for everyone
No usually is to post here then get told to factory reset .
Personally i would backup data format system cache data sd card in recovery .
Flash the correct stock rom for your phone and test .
Fails then remove root traces and return to a service centre .
Or don't wipe data/ factory reset and just return to service .
jje
As far as I see the problem is only software/firmware based. It is not due to hardware or the problem would be constant disregard display status.
So I would be very happy to see some ideas what software/hardware parameters can influence on this.
I found the source of problem. It was caused by god damned DX Battery Saver 3.0.0 (previous versions were OK).
The topic can be closed now.
I only have 2 days left to return this device to the physical store I purchased before the deadline - Please see my main quote below for exact details. Basically, I want to know how to properly restore everything from scratch to test if the external speaker sounds and youtube video playback on firefox are working with everything back to normal stock kernel, stock recovery and stock firmware and then reverse the steps to pinpoint/recreate or avoid the problem again
PROBLEM: I'm not getting any external speaker sound + youtube on firefox lags like @joemill wrote without headphones. When you plug in the headphones, system-media sounds + youtube playback = normal and sound is ok! I only flashed twrp-supersu-decrypt from @ashyx's thread via the latest odin and then flashed the v1.1 permissive kernel from @schwabe93
I've never dealt with samsung devices and there are a lot of conflicting threads on how this is done. Hoping someone can just clarify on the best approach. I have the main original stock firmware + latest odin. Really appreciate the feedback and if anyone else noticed this.
My device reference = SM-T820 (SM-T820NZKAXAR , wifi, 32gb, U.S. Edition // TWRP (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t820_AQD6)+ SuperSU v2.82 SR5 Beta + no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx + schwabe93 Flash-Kernel V.1.1]
Quoted details below = based on after flashing this kernel for the SM-T820: [SM-T820,825] Flash-Kernel V.1.1 Permissive, Wifi Fix - I made a comment in #28 on the thread link below

Hello. So not sure if I screwed something up along the way. Has anyone experienced laggy/ stuttering video playback on youtube? Also I don't have any sound out of the devices speakers.
Sound DOES work out of the headphone jack and while headphones are plugged into the aux jack youtube works fine. as soon as i unplug the headphones the problem reoccurs.
Now here is how I was setup, Im not sure where along the line I lost speaker output:
1: stock AQI2 Rom
2:installed TWRP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recovery-twrp-3-1-0-1-samsung-galaxy-t3581359 through odin
3:right after install I booted to TWRP formated DATA then flashed Flash-Kernel 1.0 and then the latest MAGISK 14
4: Device booted up and worked fine
5:I updated magisk manager to the latest
6:I installed the Gapps module and youtube 4k module through magisk manager
7:went to test youtube and noticed that I had no speaker output and videos were laggy without headphones plugged in
I reinstalled the factory AP BL CSC in odin and my speakers and youtube all works fine again
I am going to go through the install again and see where I messed up but I was just curious if anyone else saw this??
Thank you -Joe

You know what @joemill + @schwabe93
I only had the tablet for a short period and never tested the external speakers since I was trying to test NTFS OTG Stuff with headphones and that's still not working as I've posted above (basically been doing note taking so far and haven't done anything else). I was always using the headphones and I am experiencing the EXACT SAME description from @joemill, but I am on SuperSU (NO MAGISK, only followed @ashyx twrp + SuperSU root-decrypt instructions) and everything as noted in "My Device Reference" -
1. HEADPHONES PLUGGED IN = ALL SOUNDS (SYSTEM, MEDIA, NOTIFICATIONS), VIBRATION = WORKING.
2. NO HEADPHONES = NO EXTERNAL SOUNDS (NO SYSTEM, NO MEDIA, NOTHING) ONLY VIBRATION (e.g. CLOCK ALARM = VIBRATION ONLY, TAP KEYS VIBRATION ONLY)
3. YOUTUBE PLAYBACK on firefox browser NO HEADPHONES = LAGS, STUTTERS NO EXTERNAL SPEAKER SOUND - I'm on a 100Mbps broadband connection with the WiFi router next to me.
4. YOUTUBE PLAYBACK on firefox browser WITH HEADPHONES PLUGGED IN = SMOOTH, FAST + SOUND OK - IMMEDIATELY as soon as you plug in the headphones, everything goes from choppy, laggy to smooth normal speed + SOUND OK.
My device reference = SM-T820 (SM-T820NZKAXAR , wifi, 32gb, U.S. Edition // TWRP (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t820_AQD6)+ SuperSU v2.82 SR5 Beta + no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx + schwabe93 Flash-Kernel V.1.1]
I didn't try flashing again to stock because I'm not 100% sure how it's done - I've been asking here in this main Tab S3 forum but no luck in getting a response. I was surprised that the external speaker sound wasn't working and was planning to return this tablet because I thought it was a hardware issue but now that I see this post from @joemill, I am not so sure now

Not hard to fix man you should be alright.
Try to download the 3 files from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s3/how-to/firmware-t820-qdxusa-android-7-0-t3626822
They are outdated but after you flash them with Odin just. Check for updates on your device and it will bring you to the latest
Download the latest copy of odin:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4168915
So before you begin to be safe please remove(sign out) of your Google account on your s3 tab(just in case this device has frp lock)!!!!!!
Now reboot the device into download mode by shutting it off then holding power + volume down + home button at the same time until a blue warning screen pops up then press the volume up to continue.
Now plug the tab into your pc and open up Odin as administrator
Select the files you downloaded before in each slot(you may have to unzip them first if they don't show up)
Press start and wait for the process to finish. That should bring you back to stock firmware and recovery and should correct the weird video lag and lack of sound from speakers. I have not tried to re-root again and the device is working fine.
YouTube should have some Odin tutorials if you need as well

Great @joemill, thanks so much for replying and outlining those detailed steps + links - I would have definitely missed those 3 main files.
I have to head out for the present morning but will be back home in the evening to do this (downloading the main 3 files you initially linked in the meanwhile to be prepared). Good reminder point as well on the google-account FRP (I'll be removing that & double checking OEM unlock is turned ON, I also turned off any pin-screen swipe/lock features from the general settings android menu).
I'll report back here to share the aftermath... I'm glad I came across your main comment (but unfortunate to hear that it was not the situation anyone would want!) - initially I noticed that when I set my alarm to use this Tab S3 to wake up the other day, I didn't hear any sound but the vibrate feature was working (thought it was a sound setting I didn't enable) - I rarely use external speaker sound and it was the last thing on my mind to even check at the time.... well, that's now an obvious issue along with that strange youtube video playback without headphones from what we both experienced... certainly not an isolated case!!

Very good. Should go pretty smooth. Odin is pretty simple.
Yeah that is a weird issue that I have not come across before. I feel like it is probaly kernel related because that is the only thing that would affect that I think. The device works good stock for now eventually I will test again.
It's good to know that It is not isolated to magisk

@joemill - thanks again for all the help from earlier and reporting back now:
I restored everything back to factory stock with AQI2 stock firmware and stock kernel and stock recovery = EXTERNAL SPEAKER SOUND WITHOUT HEADPHONES = NOW WORKING (system/media/notifications) + YOUTUBE (via firefox browser) = SMOOTH/NORMAL PLAYBACK in mobile-desktop mode and highest 1080p-4k resolution streams + Vibration = OK
From your instructions, I skipped one step and flashed the XAR-T820XXU1AQI2 zip components (AP, CSC, BL tar files) through Odin that I had saved on my computer originally... so I didn't use the main 3 files from AQD6 but did download them in case the AQI2 I had on the computer didn't work. All the other steps you outlined, I followed and the tablet restored back to like it was out of the shop (excluding Knox triggers shown in Odin-download mode). The yellow colored "Set Bit Warranty: Kernel" notification on the upper left screen has also disappeared during the boot/shutdown process.
So now my current device info AFTER RESTORING BACK TO STOCK FIRMWARE-KERNEL AQI2: SM-T820 (SM-T820NZKAXAR , wifi, 32gb, U.S. Edition) - Stock Firmware ROM-kernel / Kernel version: galaxy tab 3.18.31-12165571 [email protected] #1 / Build #: NRD90M.T820XXU1AQI2 / Android Security Patch: September 6, 2017, SE for Android Status: Enforced
This was indeed a surprising event but glad I don't have to return the device thinking it was some hardware defect! I am a little more comfortable now in flashing this device with Odin thanks to your clear instruction steps. Now comes the part of trying to troubleshoot where the sound issue/youtube lag came from as I eventually would like to get the NTFS-OTG/root aspects working again (I can go a few days without Adaway from XDA and in the meanwhile, installed ublock origin for firefox) - we'll need more community expertise in approaching this better. I'm going to refer this comment back onto @schwabe93 's kernel thread for awareness and documentation. I'm still open to testing and sharing findings if anyone has suggestions as I'd like this tablet's continued development to improve for everyone.
"Posting one answer that I tried and found it to work for - restoring stock kernel via twrp if you flashed a custom kernel"
1. Extract "boot.img" file from AP-firmware "tar file" that matches my device (I used 7zip) and copied to external microSD card.
2. Restoring back regular stock kernel: booted to twrp > flashed boot.img via "install image to boot partition" > rebooted and noticed a bootloop with the galaxy tab s3 powered by android screen > turned off > went back to twrp > flashed "Boot image patcher-no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx" (I already did this initially after flashing twrp through odin, not sure why it had to be done again) from my microSD card again > bootloop gone and boots up to system again > stock kernel now appears in settings-about tablet.
Video stutter also on T825
I've got same behaviour on SM-T825 on AQI2 with TWRP installed, rooted using SuperSU.zip, v1.1 permissive kernel and no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx installed.
Had same problem with similar setup on AQD6 without v1.1 permissive kernel - so the kernel isn't the problem.
Stuttering occurs on every video playback, whatever player I tried (half a dozen), it also occurs on ad-videos during games. I increased caches of internal & external SD-card, but that didn't help.
At the moment it seems like we only got the choice to stay on stock (video works) or to root and accept stuttering & missing audio out on speaker. Hopefully Samsung will provide a new ROM which may fix the problem. But as the problems exists since AQD6 Samsung may not care about problems root-users have.
Any idea what else can be tried?

Depending on your needs you may install SoundAbout from PlayStore which enables you to redirect sound to destinations which aren't existing or active.
E.g. you can redirect the sound which originally is send to the buildin speaker to headphones even if they're not connected - this will stop video stuttering, but it will not bring the speaker back. So videos are now smooth, but sound on speaker is still missing.

Beforehand, have the correct Windows OS drivers, so your PC recognizes the SM-T820 when connected to a USB port. Uninstall Samsung Kies or at least not have it running. Disconnections can be caused by a faulty USB port or cable. Afterwards, if the SM-T820 is stuck on the logo screen for a very long time, reboot by holding Power + Home, and then try flashing again.
Flashing instructions for PC:
1. Download and extract either Odin3_v3.13.1.zip from https://odindownloader.com/ or @realbbb's Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572.
Run either of the Odin v3.13.3 software (both work on my SM-T820).
Reboot the SM-T820 in download mode (hold Home + Power + Volume down).
Connect the SM-T820 and wait for "ID:COM" to turn blue in Odin.
Uder 'Options', make sure "Re-Partition" is not checked.
2. Add the Odin software files from updato.com into the respective Odin slots (BL, AP, CP, CSC)
(note: CSC_XAR... will wipe your data, HOME_CSC_XAR... will not wipe your data.)
3. Click 'Start' and if the flashing process is done, the Odin program should show a "PASS" message, and the SM-T820 will automatically restart if "Auto Reboot" is checked in Odin's 'Options.
note: if the SM-T820 is stuck on the logo screen for a VERY long time, reboot by holding Power + Home, and then try flashing again.
Hi,My Tab S3 was working normally until I realized a few days back that the fast charging isn't working.It charges faster when I keep fast charging off.It shows fast charging if I turn it on ,but takes more time than normal charging.I didn't notice it until now as I like to charge my tablet normally.Fast charging was working fine on nougat.I noticed the problem on Oreo.How do I troubleshoot what the problem is?I would like to add that the port is OK as I don't use my tablet that much.
