Help, media not working (neither phone calling, so..) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks, stuck in this problem for 3 days, begin to lose hope.
Problem: Saw cell (Samsung Note3 - SM9005) didn't allow input voice , suddenly. Nor in whatsapp, nor video filming (only pics). Either phone calling is REALLY lagging, then I can't talk anyway. Everytime it says "Not succesfull", or "rec is not configurable at the moment", etc., even nothing. [translation from ita].
So I realized it neither plays any sound. Nor ringing, not alarms. Not music. Not plays, not "receive" sound input.
I've tried: Three different ROM. One Marshmallow, Two Lolly (one stock). Everytime DEEPLY WIPED internal (also wipe DATA). Put off external card. Tried installing google TTS, and so.
It seems an hardware problem. Seen around world some people got quite same problem, but no solutions till now.
Do you think something hardware have broken ? Some Media controller ?

Voice control auto starts when I have headphone connected

I have Razr international GSM version model XT910. Over the last few days when ever i am listening to music through my headset (came with my phone) voice control starts automatically. It even ended up calling somebody in my contact list automatically.
Also, when I am using headset for my calls if i put the phone in my pocket it automatically ends the call or activates mute even when i lock the phone before i place in my pocket.
Haven't had this problem before. Only last few days. I am using stock phone haven't made any changes or installed any new app. I just use popular apps like facebook, linkedin, etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
This is a smartphone-wide issue, you may want to try different headphones.

I thought I was the only one, I had the same problem as well. It was so frustrating, my phone called my husband 18 times.
Btw anyone know of working earphone controls for the razr? Mine don't work with the phone.

Having the same issue sometimes with my Razr using Etymotic hf5's. A reboot usually fixes this but it gets frustrating at times as I don't like to carry my iPod classic around with me on the regular commutes and this will probably force me to use it.

Use your GPlayer as a regular Cell Phone

A few days ago I bought a device called GMATE ($80), a type of smallcell without display or keyboard which is inserted a normal simcard and communicating via Bluetooth to the Samsung Galaxy Player, which means an application is integrated with android, receiving and making phone calls, and SMS, in addition to allowing internet access GPRS.
It's a perfect combination that increases the possibilities of Our Player
IPhones must be jailbroken, a repo is added to Cydia, and then the Gmate app is installed for the integrated Gmate functionality. How does this work in Android?
In GooglePlay you can download a Gmate aplication that integrates the gadget with your android player (also convert your android phone in a double sim phone) and uses android phone's features like dialer, contacts, or any thirtd party aplication likes rocket Dial.
Received and Make calls don´t need special features, if you uses the Gprs/edge to internet (in places with no WIFI) need to be rooted.
The application is not compatible with my U.S. 5.0 Player.

Go to skyroam webpage and ask for a .apk file, i have Intl 5.0 and working great, sometimes any aplication in GooglePlay seems to be incompatible for my SG player but, on a external apk source works fine.
Dutch 5.0
Thank you for the info! I will definitely buy one if it works in The Netherlands.
That does look interesting.
Anyone using it with the USA version?
Is there something similar that i can connect it to my player or to put it in the galaxy player? So this wey i dony have to worry if i get out of 10 neters or jf i fodget it at home

Wow, wonderful find. I was looking for exacly something like this. Unfortunately, With ICS CM9 installed on my GP5 Bluetooth doesn't work =( (neither does the camera or hardware acceleration. They really need to fix that.)
So I can make phone calls/sms without having wifi?

With the Gmate app, can your SGP connect to a regular cell phone with bluetooth or it can only connect to the Gmate?

Gmate only.. I tried it with my other android phone and it doesn't work.
I came further when I changed my phone's Bluetooth id to "Gmate". It didn't connect because of a password failure
It's seems good
I don't quite understand... So besides buying the Gmate, would i need a sim card as well? secondly so would i practically be using a sim card with a data plan to use with gmate? but wouldnt that defeat the purpose of just using a smart phone with a card in it?.... these are all continuation Q's if the first is a yes lol.
This seems like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. How well does the device actually work? Does it keep a connection throughout the day, sending and receiving text messages without too much delay? I'm considering using this to replace my old dumbphone, but I'd rather not plunk down a sizable chunk of change with little indication as to how well this thing actually works.
Gmate calling speaker sound
Question: Does the sound come out of the front speaker while calling?
(I don't like to call everywhere with loud back speakers)

I don't know about GMate, but on Groove IP (and probably others), the front speaker on the 5.0 is quite functional and is used for calls.

EDIT: I HAVE FIXED THE MAIN ISSUE WITH MY GMATE, MORE INFORMATION BELOW
Well, my Gmate+ came in the mail today, and I've been playing with it for a little while now and am able to give first impressions. First off, the device is much smaller than I imagined, it easily fits in my palm, the vibration (on the plus version) is very loud. As for the function itself, it works. You can call and send and receive text messages (haven't tested the web access yet) with a few minor (and one major) annoyances. My device is currently a US SGP 4.0 running Terrasilent 1.1 and EtherealRom 2.3.
Minor annoyances I have found with the Gmate+:
- Notifications (read: texts) do not make noise/vibrate while the screen is locked. Once the screen goes on, if you do have a new text, it notifies you, kind of ruining the point of the notification.
- Text messages you send have proper time stamps, for some reason, the ones you receive are off by a few hours, as if the sender is in a different time zone
- Seems to be no way to delete contacts from the address book, even uninstalling, wiping data, reinstalling didn't do anything about this.
Major annoyance with the Gmate+:
- It disconnects, and by that I mean it disconnects ALL THE TIME, the device is pretty much useless because of this, it will be fine for a few minutes, then disconnect, regardless of how close the Gmate is to my SGP. Every few minutes, I'd check it, and guess what? No connection. Sometimes it would reconnect, sometimes I'd have to manually do it, sometimes I'd have to restart one or both devices to get it to work again.
Seeing as everything the device does it actually does quite well when actually connected, I want to rule this problem to some battery saving tweak in my kernel/rom. As such, I'll be returning to stock and trying the Gmate again to see if any of these issues are cleared up. As it stands, I have a 75$ paperweight that buzzes occasionally.
EDIT: After flashing back to stock and noticing no change, I began searching around and found other people having similar problems with similar devices, mainly connecting their smartphones to the bluetooth sound system in their car. Turns out in Deep Sleep, the device has issues keeping constant bluetooth connection. After downloading an app (Bluetooth KeepAlive: ~$1.30) on the market that keeps the device from entering this mode, the Gmate no longer disconnects, and has remained connected for several days, having no problem with calls or text messages at any time. In summary, with this app, I am now happy to recommend the Gmate to anyone who is looking for this kind of functionality. Guess it goes to show that non compatible apps are listed in the Play Store as non working for a reason

[Q] GS3 apps - S voice not working

I recently bought Galaxy S III and installed many applications. S voice isn't working right thou, but I managed to create a website using gs3 for only 2 hours!!
This phone is so fast that everything happens for seconds! if you have gs3 go to puzl. com and check out what you can do!
But do you know how make S voice work? Even when I'm connected to Wi-Fi or using my mobile data it says Connection Error?
Yep
Same Problem here. First time Android user, but 16 years in IT, and 4 year iphone user. Love the O/S, but how does one figure out what's conflicting with S-voice?
same
My issue is similar, not the connection error. Whenever I speak a command, it types it out correctly and then does nothing. Any ideas on how to fix?

I think it only does nothing when the app isn't compatible. ie winamp works fine but playerpro doesn't.
other than that it works fine for me. I've used other versions of vlingo on other devices and it's nowhere near as good as this.
are all of you OUT OF THE BOX users....or have you done other things to your phones??
I have the same problem s voice worked at 1st then the next day it stopped working. I have only downloaded the normal android apps.
Same Problem
I spoke with a level 2 tech at Samsung and was informed that I needed to do a factory reset.

[Q] Audio cuts and WiFi disconnects

Hi all! Interesting community we have here.
It was nice and easy to join so I'm am happy NOW ONTO TECHNOLOGY:
Okay so I have this interesting Huawei Ascend Mate MT2-L03. I love it alot I can do so many things with it. I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet because of Huawei not emailing me the freaking bootloader unlock code, BUT ANYWAYS.. audio issues. It pisses me off when my audio cuts out.. especially in front of friends like wtf is that :/ ..
I've fixed it multiple times by:​- deleting the cache and data for the music apps
- switching audio in accessibility to Mono and then back to Stereo
It gets annoying to have to do that because it shouldn't even happen in the first place. I tried downloading a separate music app to see if it worked but it had the same problem. There has to be a solution to this.. a conflict of some sort.​
Problem number 2 that I have is my WiFi disconnecting randomly.. possibly another conflict?​
I don't have either of these issues. I stream music all day and never have an issue. What do you have the phone set to in power saving? Is it Smart or Normal? Also make sure your music app is protected.
I've tried all the power saving methods its not the issue. And what do you mean by protected? I'm not too sure how to do that. Keep in mind I'm just playing music from my phones memory.

Under power saving you should see "protected apps". Make sure whatever app you are using for music is checked off and protected.
When I first had my HAM2, my audio would also cut out. The problem disappeared when I unlocked the bootloader, which also reset the data. I heard that resetting the data solved the problem.
As for the WiFi, I'm not sure since I never had it. Maybe you have an app causing it?
Thanks scoob I'll try a reset and let you know if I have any further problems.

Loss of Ringer and Notification Sounds

My wife and I each have the T-Mobile LG V10. Mine works great! Hers does not.
Her sounds will not work consistently. This includes the ringtone and notification sounds. I contacted T-Mobile and they said they have not heard of this issue and I should exchange it. I looked online and found no similar issues. I exchanged it and a day later my wife is having the issues again!! What are the odds??? The only constant between the two phones is the SIM card and Google account info.
Has anyone else had this issue or have any additional ideas on what could be causing the problem?
I have already double and triple checked the notification settings, including the priority calls and interruption settings. I have also performed the factory data reset.

Are her ringtones / media files on an sd card? I'm thinking SD card faulty? Or using stock internal sounds? Then my theory don't fly.
Another test, reset hers stock, pop in your SIM and use your account. Troubleshoot those.

Thanks for replying. No SD card installed. Could the SIM cause a ringer issue????
Maybe a smart setting sound profile?
When you exchanged phones, this you or T-Mobile backup and restore stuff? I know the lg backup will bring old settings back. After the Factory reset, how did you restore the phone?
Does it still happen in safe mode?

Great idea, however, I did not use the LG Backup feature. I did check the smart settings, which are all "Off". How do I enter safe mode?

Set her phone back up as a "new phone" dont restore or sync her account. Check from there.
UPDATE: Exchanged phone again. This is her 3rd LG V10. Guess what happened a few hours later? Ringer and notification sounds stopped working! Then, they came back on again shortly thereafter. Then they stopped working again! This phone has the same issues as the previous ones...only at least the sound works more often than the previous phones! Hopefully this is a software glitch and LG will fix it. I am very surprised my wife has had three phones in a row with the issue and yet I haven't found any threads with others having this problem.
Have you tried getting her a new Sim card? This seems like an issue that is more user related than phone, since it seems she is the only one we know of with that issue.
I'm not saying it couldn't be the phone, but the chances of getting three bad phones in a row with what seems to be a very rare error is pretty slim.
Sent from my VS990
I completely agree, very unlikely. This time I made sure we got a new sim card. If it is not the phone, the only other option is a software glitch, but the only app she uses that I do not is Candy Crush. I doubt that is messing with the ringtones and notifications...but she isnt willing to part with it long enough to find out!
At least this one works slightly better than the previous two...so far.

My wife and I have the same phones and hers after she plays a game the ringer and notification sound will not play. I have check all the settings but can't come up with a reason for it. If she restarts the phone it will work till the next time. I was going to take it back today after work, but after reading this post I don't know if that would do any good.

You are correct, I'm not sure it would help. After my wife had the issue with a third phone, she finally had enough and traded for a Note 5. Interesting note, the only difference between her and I was that she played games a lot...specifically Candy Crush games. Perhaps there is a compatibility issue with those or one of her other games. Hopefully this issue is resolved for you, because the phone was great otherwise!
Two of the games she plays when this happens are hearts and candy crush saga. I turned on vibration with sound and vibration will still work when sound profile doesn't. Haven't found connection yet.
I lost ringtone but still had notifications and message sounds. Don't know what happened but a restart fixed it for now. I don't have any games on my phone at all.

I am having the SAME issue with mine. I have had it since November 2015 and got my husband the same phone for Christmas. His works just fine and mine does not. It will NOT alert me for my text messages for anything. I have checked and rechecked ALL settings.
I too am having this issue and yes I think it's candy crush. This morning I had a full lives notification icon in the task bar and no alarm clock tone just vibration.
I'm having this issue as well. I do not play or have candy crush. My issue started after the last forced update. This is my 2nd phone that has done this. I also have at&t
