[Q] Disturbing noise in calls - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a galaxy s3 gt-i9300. i have been using it for like 4 months now. the problem occurred from yesterday. when i dial a number there is a very disturbing "buzzzz" with rhythm to the way other end speak. this only happens with the mobile network on gsm/wcdma (auto mode) or wcdma only. when i change the mobile network to gsm only that noise disappears. first i thought there was a problem in the speaker. but when i connect the headset, the noise is still there. this problem occurred to me once or twice before. but when i end the call and redialed the noise went off. but now its not solving the problem. it's always there on every call
someone please help me to solve this problem

[Q] Speaker DEAD - Need Help !

Guys,
Just got my sgs2 yesterday. Rooted. everything was okay.
Then I wanted to set a ringtone + notification sound right.
Got into sound settings, ringtones and started to try them out.
at first there was sound and ringtones played, but then suddenly it stopped.
The speaker is dead - No sound at all. no shutdown sound, no usb connection sound, no ringer sound, no media sound.
Tried : Restart, Switching silent mode on/off, switching vibration on/off, FACTORY RESET, searching the hell out of the web to find a solution on this ...
Please help !
I'm with stock OS, phone bought in UK via clove.

Are you sure this is a hardware problem ?
p.s : It's really hard to return a product to a seller that is thousands of miles away.

We can't be sure, but what you've said indicates that something is wrong.
Have you considered a reflash with the stock Samsung firmware?
Also, given you have rooted, you might be best to use a Jig to reset the number of "non official" binaries flashed, so that it doesn't appear to have been rooted, as we all know what some places are like with rooting
A test play an MP3 file on your PC .
Transfer that to sd card then while sd card is connected try to play via pc by double click . then open my files navigate to the MP3 and play it .
jje
Well I've just reflashed the kernel (from the rooting procedure)
No go
Will try to flash the whole firmware - downloading ...
this is sooooooo frustrating !!!!!

But what would tick the speaker hardware to kill itself ??
worked well after the root. somewhere after just died ...
this is sooo weird !
Okay, tried to flash the stock FM - flash went okay but the problem remained.
Flashed the newest firmware from sami with new pda, modem and csc - still not working
WTF !?!?!?

That would be a fluke hardware issue I guess... Warranty return time, I think
Not my day ...
Thanks for the help though ..

I think the same thing happened to me.
My sound from the normal speaker worked last night before I went to bed, I plugged it in and this morning my alarm didn't wake me up.
Headphone jack works
Headset speaker works
All sounds through the back speaker are a no go.
I tried reflashing a few different firmwares and still a no go.
Sucks theres no stock Bell firmware out because I can't get warranty until it is!
Damn

Hi there,
Got the same problem with my 3 days old (or rather: new) Galaxy Note!
Regards,
I sent my phone back to Samsung and they fixed it. It isnt a complicated repair it will void your warranty tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
your problem is that the phone thinks that a headset or headphone is inserted..... try to use ur headset to prove this....
get the app that disable headset/headphone and all ur media sound will go to your speakers. i had this problem too and the only solution ive found was the app.... its not a hardware problem but a system bug....... goodluck
Hey, I had the same issue. Just buy a new speaker. MODULE-SPK+INT GH59-10917A. Changing that is piece of cake.
Just check a youtube for howtos. Buying one should be like below $8 on ebay.
It took me only 10 minute to fix it (and 3 days of waiting for the mail to arrive
cheers

[Q] constantly receiving echos from phone

Hello I just got my new samsung SII and i am having issues with the phone call. The receiver will always receive back echos.
I am on base DXKL3. I heard there are some phone.apk fixes which needs to be modified. I have no ideas on how to mod it. Can any kind soul please mod my DXKL3 and give it to me ?
If you're having issues with Echo, is it happening on calls with all people you call? It might be an issue with your carrier. They may have a bad echo canceler card somewhere.
what do you mean by the carrier ? Yes , it doesnt happen on all calls. Some may get echos while some may not.
you use a case arround the phone?
try disabling noise cancelation during calls? by pressing on the menu button during a call
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372718
Hey I do use a case. I have tried PUMA on the original s2 development thread,which has the option of removing noise reduction thing.i have patched it but it is,still receiving echos. Can you help me to fix it while I upload my phone.apk ? D:
Try search for the ECHO etc post .
jje
I'm with JJEgan.
Not to be harsh, but: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=galaxy+s2+echo+site:forum.xda-developers.com
The top four results are DIFFERENT posts just in the XDA forums, and there are many more in other forums.
Return the phone As Soon As Possible, if you have warranty. There are line of SGSII defective by design. Why bother, when you phone has warranty.

[Q] Poor sound on some calls

I recently purchased 3 Galaxy S3 phones, all of them model I9300T.
I am experiencing a very strange issue, where on some calls they are getting very poor sound quality, with severe static or scratchiness over the whole call. Sometimes there is no sound at all, and both callers only hear silence. The poor sound is not just on the call, but also the dial tone and when the caller hears the voicemail recorded message. This only happens when some numbers are dialed from those phones, and not others, and not the same numbers for each phone.
I don't even know where to start in troubleshooting this, as I can't even decide if it's a SIM card issue, a firmware issue, a hardware issue or a network issue.
All phones are running current MIUI.us (based on ICS 4.0.4) with i9300T modems for the i9300T. I have tried different modems in all handsets, which has not solved the problem. I have not tried different firmwares, I have looked for stock firmwares, but I cannot find them. I usually get my stock firmwares from XDA but I was unable to find a thread for stock firmwares for the i9300.
Has anyone seen anything like this before, or can anyone offer any advice on the matter?

Well, since you recently purcheased them, then perhaps sending it back to the service center will enlighten you.. make use of your warranty
but before sending it to the service center, do use triangleaway and flash a stock firmware.. put everything back to stock
Cheers!

Given that they are all (three of them) exhibiting the exact same problem, and given that the problem is not on all calls, I highly, highly doubt that it is a hardware issue. I'm thinking that this is a bug that is being triggered by some combination of software on my devices and network-side settings.
I'm running I9300 ROMs with I9300T modems. When I reflash stock, the problem goes away.

I'm a fairly experienced ROMer, yes I've tried all those tricks. I've also tried other variants of MIUI. I am in the process of trying other ROMs to see which ones trigger the problem, and which ones don't.
Note that this is occurring with I9300T phones running I9300 software on a 850mhz network. I think that has something to do with it. I would like to test the issue on a 900mhz network to see if that still causes the problem to manifest, but that would require much effort to go any buy prepaid SIMs just for this test.

no sound with receiver during calls

Hey guys,
Does anybody who ever or being suffered from the call issue like hearing nothing from the receiver during phone calls(I am using I9305 and I know some people have the same or similar problems with me)??Sometimes it work,but sometimes it doesn't!!And the speaker works in most of the cases,whereas sometimes it also breaks down liked the receiver.Moreover,I can hear some cracks from the receiver in some cases.
I am totally freaked out because I am sure that the receiver is good (no problems with skype and wechat,and I also have checked it by using "*#0*#" when the situation happens) and it seems impossible to be solved after wiping and flashing different firmware(both by cwm and odin),and so do the modems and kernel including Perseus.
Today I found sth strange about the call issue by chance: when I lock the screen maybe for more than 5 mins,then wake it up and make a phone call soon,the receiver can't work every times.However, when I put it into use(light the screen) for more than 3 or 4 mins,and then the receiver works again during calls.
What I want to say is: maybe there are sth wrong with the cpu setting or the power management.
Any solutions or suggestions will be totally appreciated!!!
Maybe try flashing different modems? I had this problem too awhile back and flashing a modem fixed the problem.

Actually I have tried to turn off the noise reduction but it doesn't work.Someone told me that is a hardware issue..I have no idea about this,I thought it it just the software issue since everything perform good except calls.

I saw someone who uses i9300 also have the same issue.It is said that it should be a hardware issue...

I do not listen, do not listen to me

Hello everyone.
For 4 days ago my sg3 started doing something really strange ...
For several months I have installed the 4.3 Russian in my GT -I9300 and beat of a sudden, every time I make or receive a cell phone call I do not listen to me or I can listen to anyone , as if the handset and the microphone will not work.
BUT , if they work, I tested with Google Talk, Skype , software to record audio and microphone headset works perfectly and works well , the problem is only with the phone calls .
Connect the phone for bt car , also with wired headset, handsfree , and in all cases is the same , the call is connected but can not hear me or hear anyone.
With all this I did a clean install , formatting system and all other partitions and take to put the 4.3 Argentina , the BUGML1 reformatting everything , install root and everything else , the phone works perfectly except for the same old problem , as if the embers in mute microphone and headphone volume without phone ..
Again, the phone works perfectly with Skype and other programs I only have this problem in the cellular network.
Also change of company , I tested clear and staff and nothing ..
Someone happened the same? , Anyone have any idea how to fix it? , I'm sure it's not hard because the mic / headphone funcona , so for me it is soft ..
I accept any kind of ideas and sugetencias .
Ariel
You don't read either, don't post questions in the general forum. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you.
You have a hardware fault in the the gsm circuit of your phone, new motherboard required.
