Hello everyone,
I am having a issue with my 2nd brand new phone from TMobile. I sent the first back because the audio and video didn't sync when i recorded video with my phone and transferred them to a pc. When watching the video on the phone itself, it works perfectly. I tried 2 different pc's and a laptop, i tried different cables plugged into different usb ports, emailed a short video, used wmp, vlc, and kies software, updated my codec packs, wiped the cache on my phone, reset to factory condition, changed a setting on the camera to -2, changed the audio to record from camcorder and not the mic, and im sure a few more things I have found on the internet. I've contacted Samsung and TMobile and they both say it was a defective handset and to return it. I did that and received my new unit and still have the same issues. TMobile says it is not a known issue and to return this one also, said there is no way a third unit will have the same problem. I've already spent $40 on shipping and went 2 weeks without a phone (prepaid so no loaners) and don't wish to do it again for another defective phone. Has anyone else had any luck fixing this problem? This is the white s2 from tmobile, never been rooted or hacked so its all stock rom. I have tried the lg camera app also but the app kept freezing every time i would hit the record button.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Rooting phone
Ok, since I'm not getting any responses with this topic, how about this. Would rooting my phone and using a different rom help? I was told that there was different apps I could use for the camera that would work better then the stock software, is this true? I am open to any suggestions. The odds of me getting 2 different phones that has the same flaw can't be a coincidence and don't really want to go without a phone again for 2 weeks waiting for a replacement with the same problem again.

Hey ellegon18 - browsing for answers to your same question, I came across your thread. Wondering if you (or anyone else) have ever found a fix?

I just bought the Tab from a buddy of mine the other day. I started with the G Harmony ROM but couldn't get my slingbox or Qloud player to work.
I changed to Vegan last night and while everything seems to work great now, my sound is having 2 major issues.
1. I get a constant crackle and hissing from the speakers. I know this is partially a known issue as I've found some older posts, but nothing recent.
2. In Youtube/Slingbox, if the audio is working, it will only go for about a minute before stopping all together.
If anyone has any clues, or if my device is shot, I'd love the feedback.
I can't help you resolve your existing issues.
But I can say I've been running Calkulins rom with Clemsyn's version 9 kernel and Youtube and Slingbox work without any issues. No crackling from the speakers either.
I think the device is fine, just software issues.
I'll update the kern, hope it works
I've had the same exact issue ever since I got my GTablet. I've tried nearly every ROM and a few kernels, but nothing worked. NOTHING.
So, just about 30 minutes ago I requested an RMA through Viewsonic. It was super easy, but it will be about 3 weeks before I get mine repaired or replaced.
I never found a solution, and tried every suggestion I could find. The problem is so rare that I don't know if the devs have even had a chance to determine what the problem is. I eventually gave in because no sound is downright annoying.
Again, though, the RMA process has thus far been very smooth. I'll keep you posted as the process unfolds.
I updated to the Clem 9 and it worked for a little while. Two nights ago it did it again... I'm almost positive its a hardware speaker issue. When I plug headphones in it stops. After it happens the sound usually drops. Headphones seem to still work.
My main issue is that I got it off someone of crags list. The kid generally wasn't a shady character although I'm sure he had the issue.
Will Viewsonic give me the email if I don't have a receipt?

ViewSonic did NOT ask me for a copy of my receipt, just where/when I bought it (so I'd have a good "story") but they're not trying to hassle you, that's for sure. I think that because the device is less than 1 year old and has a 1 year warranty they already know that all devices are still under warranty.
Give 'em a call if it bugs you (as it likely does). You'll lose your device for a few weeks, and you have to pay for shipping & handling (cost me $25 at FedEx, paid for their packaging though). But having a fully-functioning tablet is worth the wait.
Hey Guys,
I just purchased a Kenwood KDC-BT952HD. Everythings Smooth With It, Except for the main reason i bought it, to pair it to my phone.
When i connect my Evo 3D to my stereo via Bluetooth, works for a bit, then cuts out. Then my phone freaks out and doesn't let me turn Bluetooth off, then back on. (Only way is to reset the phone.)
On top of that, anything being played via the stock player (which recognizes the Bluetooth connection) sounds so cheap. Pandora on the other hand sounds fine. Not sure why it sounds different between players.
Here's a link to Kenwood's list of compatible Bluetooth devices:
http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/bt/index.php (Select KDC-BT9; KDC-BT952HD) and (HTC; Evo 3D)
Says its compatible, but sounds like crap compared to the crisp sound it has with my iPad, which i don't want to use over my phone.
Any Help Please!
Thanks!
Edit:
Sounds crisp and clear VIA Play Music app, but I don't know what to do about the random cut outs. For some reason I feel its my device that's cutting out, as I can't turn Bluetooth on or off after it cuts out.
Anybody?

Possibly a defective unit. Take it back AFTER trying a stock rom. Ive used mine with the exact same one and had no issues yet.
I have a kenwood bt 838-u and it doesn't do anything like that. I agree with leo it might be a defective radio. Also have you checked for any firmware updates for the head unit.

Thanks, i haven't updated it, but im not sure how to. I believe i do it through the USB port? theres also no firmware available to download from Kenwood's site under that specific model.
Another option would be to try sync another phone or bluetooth device to it.

I haven't been able to except for my iPad, which worked fine with no issues. I'm going to try the stock ROM in a bit. I'll try my girls 3vo when she gets home tonight. Thanks for the feedback guys.
Anybody know how to update the firmware on the stereo?
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Starting to thinks it might be defective. Tried my iPad again, and it plays fine, then starts stuttering. This all happened without moving anything. The iPad sat in the same spot when it started, and stopped. I'm hoping there's a fix, or worst case, it's the stereo and I can replace it.
I would contact kenwood and tell them what is doing. Tell them you have tried multiple devices and have the same issue. They might have some firmware update that is not on the website or they might give you an RMA.
Contacted Kenwood, they couldn't help. No updates available also. Although, pure stock rom isn't giving me an issue. I'm going back to my rom, but going to see if using stock kernel changes anything. :/
I'm using freezes kernel.
Found the issue. My boy freezas working on a fix.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Yes there has been a firmware update. (EVO 3D owner)
I'm a new user so I can't post urls sorry:
There's an instruction page and a download page on the kenwood usa site
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY! Part of the update needs to be burned onto a CD and part needs to be burned onto a thumb drive.
I have the same kenwood unit. It was acting squirrly with my evo 3d then I found this update and installed it. It now works perfecctly. Controls Pandora and displays everything!
Pandora tip: Start the app from your phone first THEN go into pandora mode on the unit. It works everytime then.

Hi all
Am I the only one experiencing microfone problems on my new galaxy S3?? Im on my third I9300, because of this issue...
People complaining about that the mic vol goes up and down...
I'm also facing similar issues. I'm going to get mine replaced also.
First of all guys make sure 100% it's not the mic. Record some song and see if you still have the problem. I was facing similar issues with the mic going up and down durring calls.
In my case it was the simcard. Don't ask me why, because the same simcard was working fine in another phone, but after getting a replacement everybody said that they can hear me a whole lot better.

I am going through the very same issues.
I had a mic problem with my first S3 during phone calls. It was really annoying me because I couldn't do anything about it everyone was saying they couldn't hear me etc.
The sim I am using is an British UK O2 micro simcard that I used in a iphone 4, cheap samsung, and samsung S2 previously with no problems at all.
I then returned the phone to the T-mobile shop retailers, they said it was rare and not a common fault.
My new one is doing the exact same thing, I didn't update it nor is there a new update.
Can someone please help. Thank you.
I am getting the same issue but not everytime. I am sure that it is not the fault in mic that is causing this problem, as i recorded my voice (using both mics, the one at the top and at the bottom) and it was crytal clear.
turn off Noise Cancelling... fixed my problems
same problem
Had the same issue ,also with the s 2 , but the trick then (witch also worked now ) was to turn off the noise cancellation .
During a call just take the phone away from your ear and under the callers picture there u will find the option to do so
I have literally just started having the same issue today.
Am on FoxHound Rom 1.4 with Siyah Kernel. Had no problems, even made calls last night, perfect.
Then I tried switching Fast Dormancy on, flashed stock kernel and this morning I find when I made calls to Orange customer services, they were saying they couldn't hear me.
Tried testing it myself, and no matter who I call no-one can hear me.
I've tried:
re-flashing rom, kernel
Tried latest stock roms such as I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_I9300XXLG8_HOME.tar.md5, none have made a difference. Even Roms I had backed up in clockworkmod that were working perfectly, like CM10 preview and CM9 have stopped working.
I've tried disabling Noise reduction, which has had no effect. Tried factory reset, flashing modems, kernels, roms, stock roms, nothing has made a difference. I can record video, google talk, anything else fine, just not get anything from the mic when making phone calls.
Tried putting a friends 3 SIM in, and the same thing, so it's definitely not network related either. I definately hope it isn't a hardware fault, as I bought mine on ebay and it isn't insured. Was kinda hoping for more than 2 mores usage out of a phone :crying:
Hi phone s2 i9100g is showing charging without charger connected. no water damage. Is it a serious issue. Another issue is sometime my all audio/video appc faces struggle in running.(not running smoothly). Are both issues related. And what is the solution.
It's called "ghost charging" and it has been extensively discussed (and solved) many times. Search and you'll find those threads.

Yeah it happens. Happened to me a couple months back. Above poster is correct, there's a lot of threads on it. Most of them won't mention ghost charging though, so to tip you off..... you need to replace the USB flex board. However, I'm not sure of the procedure for an i9100G, something the above poster doesn't mention... I'm not too sure how many threads you'll find for the "G" variant. Long and the short of it, you need to replace the USB flex board. Up to you if you DIY or pay someone to do it.
As far as your phone not running smoothly goes, when did you last do a factory reset? Back up everything you need (via Kies, I assume you're not rooted). Messages, contacts (sync them to a google account), and anything else you can think of. Note you'll lose all your apps with a factory reset, but your photos & videos will be fine.

Thanks for reply. Actually I have changed 4-5 roms and getting this problem(charging+audio/video smoothness, even caller tune) in all. Now i flash stock via odin but no help. actually i have to press(little) phone down from screen after connecting charger for charging. I am thinking these two are related because may be faulty usb port makes some short circuit type thing which makes error in audio smoothness.
Either all sound related apps get struggle or all run smoothly in both speaker and headphone. i think my audio gets error that why video also face problem in running.

My apologies as well for assuming you weren't rooted (see the importance of telling the information when asking for help?).
I can't say if they're related, unfortunately I don't know much about the hardware layout of our phones. But the way to move forward is definitely to get the USB board fixed first. Then see what happens to the audio problem. If you don't have any luck with that, then post up and we'll see.
I faced the same issue in my xperia sl , but it was not so serious , just connect the charger again and remove ....

Ya sure. let I change usb port first and see what happens to audio issue. By the way thanks a lot for your kind reply.
I too had this issue. But a little meticulous cleaning of the USB port solved it. You could try that first, just to be sure.

Hi guys,
Here's my issue: tried different ROMs, tried different baseband, tried FasterGPS, tried GPS Status, no matter what I can wait for an hour and the phone won't get a GPS fix. I can barely have 2 or 3 sats and even then very briefly. I do that in the open, to no avail.
Could the antennas be unplugged? I had the front glass changed a while ago, then didn't use GPS (Galaxy S2 wasnt primary device) so maybe missed that at the time.
Or could there be something else that I missed?
FYI I'm running CM12.1 now and everything works like a charm except the GPS.

I'm also using a LP ROM, but the GPS works like a charm for me. So, I think the GPS Antenna is broken/detached and needs to be set again.
Maybe you could pay a visit at the Samsung Service Center and show this error to them. Although before going to them, you would have to shift to Stock ROM.
Regards, and Best of Luck!
Yeah... well I'm going to spare myself visiting a samsung center or a repair shop of any kind and will just go straight to using my iphone when I go jogging...
It's a pain though, but whatever.

Haha. I pretty much think that it is fixable in a few dollars, and your visit would give you a good result.

a few $ for a 4yr old phone is not something I'm willing to spend. Rather buy a compact sony or a mini galaxy
