I think a refund is in order
Seriously though I would get a refund if you can't then flash a stock firmware and if problem is still there it is a hardware problem.

Hi, my headphone jack seems to be broken, I can only hear volume in one ear, or not at all, unless I hold it in a certain, strange angle.
I've tried with a few different headsets, and it's the same thing. Problem is my phone is rooted, does that mean I'm screwed, and I have to pay a crapload to get it fixed?
Thanks
Are u sure....

Are you 100% sure that you audio jack is broken...and not the earphone?...try another pair of earbuds.
Yeah, I've tried 3 headsets. Including my beloved sennheiser, all work fine on my PC.

Hey,
Got the same issue here.
And it's my second phone already (first had an issue with a screen).
I've called Samsung already (in Poland) and the guy there told me that "they have never faced such an issue with smartphone" - right...
I'll bringing my phone to Samsung just after my vacations and hope it will not take them a long time to fix it.
Generally speaking I have a feeling that Samsung's quality control is very poor.
I had this exact same issue and it was from start, and Samsung refused to replace it. Had to buy a new one even though I didn't want to buy another Samsung after how they treated me for the first time.......
That's odd. I've had the same exact issues before but it was always the earphones/headphones fault

Well this may be a long shot but try cleaning the jack with fine tip cotton bud moistened with cleaning alcohol. Make sure your phones switched off with battery out until it dries

Hmm, worth trying.
Will inform if it worked.

I returned mine under warranty for repair. No issues since.

Well.. mine is rooted, so I guess that leaves that out for me, right?
Unroot it, that basically means following these steps:
- Take a CWM Nandroid backup of your phone for easy restore when getting it back
- Use the app 'Triangle Away' to reset the binary flash counter
- Go to samfirmware.com and download your official ROM, then flash it through Odin
- Go to Samsung's standard recovery and factory-reset the phone. (Warning: will delete your whole phone!)
- Make sure Device Status is not 'Modfied', and return it for warranty
hi,
my i9300 seem to be hard brick, but i don't understand why and how because i strictly did nothing
my phone is not rooted. it was in my pocket, and perfectly working, a few minutes later i would use it and it died.
i thought it was the battery, so i tried a few things that i could find. but nothing works.
all i tried did nothing (the screen is always black)
the big problem is i'm living in montreal canada and the phone come from miami so samsung want repair it :crying:
help me please
I'm sorry to hear this, but looks like you are one of the many with sudden dead gs3.
If you cannot fix it at samsung. Best chance would be to buy a motherboard or a smashed gs3 and use the motherboard.
I think would be cheaper to send it to samsung and let them replace the board for you. Email them and ask and compare prices.

Sounds like a defective speaker or bad sound settings.
Also most people would have got a full refund after 2nd device having fault. Getting a 3rd and 4th device from same retailer is ridiculous.

I phoned to my mom, then to my girlfriend again, and it seems the defect is ok again, maybe some really bad signal from my girlfriends house or something?
ok so i have a galaxy s 2 running cyanogen mod 10.1 and today when i put some music on it was really quiet i mean really quet and the sound is all crackly and unbearable this happens with spotify loudspeaker on calls and everything else. Could this be a hardware issue or a setting or cyanogen mod?

did u already ask it on CM 10.1 topic? ask there if someone had this issue and how to fix it.
if not, try changing Rom or flashing it again...if it continues happening after doing this, maybe it is a hardware issue(what i dont think it is)
Well its ****ed
Ok i flashed it back to samsung origonal and still the same problems looks like its time to get a new phone
that's unfortunate
try sending to technic assistance

Does anyone else hear a faint crackling from the earpiece, similar to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/hear-faint-static-earpiece-normal-t2454552
It's very faint, but enough to bother me a lot during a call, and it persists, but not as much when I am out of a call.
This is normal right?

I used to have this problem but then someone here (can't remember who unfortunately) told me to open the dialer, click the menu button, go into call settings, and disable voice enhancement.
Ever since I did that I haven't heard the crackling. Hope this helps
I thought I was crazy when I heard it but turning off voice enhancement doesn't get rid of it. Fortunately it's faint.
Yeah the voice enhancement didn't get rid of it :/ Is it worth returning it in for a new one? It's already rooted :c

I'm debating returning mine although mine isn't rooted. But I bought it at best buy so would best buy be the one to exchange it or would sprint since it's their device?
I think Best Buy would replace it, but I bought mine from Amazon :/

I just spoke with a Sprint rep, and she told me that this crackling issue is common among their other LG G3 customers, but it should NOT be occurring, so I'm going to send mine back to Amazon and get another phone that is hopefully not defective.
After a second trip to the sprint store with the problem already documented in their system they finally agreed to order a replacement for me. Hopefully the new one isn't part of the same batch that had the problem.

Please let me know the outcome. I'll be honest. I'm not sure this g3 is really all that I thought Or hoped it to be. I'm not saying it sucks. I do believe were all just really in need of an update. Lots of quirks. On mine at times.

Yeah it's definitely got some quirks that need a software update to fix but what phone doesn't have them? It's just part of modern day technology. I still love the phone though. I'll let u know how the replacement goes...

mine does the crackling too only when the phone is on speaker; I wasn't sure if this was a defect or something that needed to be updated via software

OK update... New replacement in hand since last Saturday and made numerous calls with and without the charger connected and do not hear the crackling... Definitely a faulty unit.
Take it back if it is. They may not take it right away unless they can reproduce the sound immediately. Eventually they will if u take it back and complain a second time.

I'm getting this too. I've done the volume mod. Do you think it could be part of the problem. . I hardly ever use my phone to actually call so I'm not sure if it did this before or not.

The crackling does not sound like a blown speaker... it sounds more like electrical noise interfering with the audio of the earpiece... I'm thinking it was a grounding issue...
