[Help] Galaxy A3 Speakers Bug - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hello my friend has a Samsung A3 2017 and he said that the speakers are not working.
He can receive calls but do not hear them incoming because Speakers have some bug. No water or phone dropped on ground / any physical problem.
I told him to try the dial code *#7353# to test the functionality.
He replied that the
1. Melody works fine, the music is played
3. Speakers doesnt work at all.
This is probably some software bug, he already resetted the device without success. Any similar problems?
Thanks in advance

I actually had the same problem in my a7 2017, just randomly the speaker stopped working. I tried factory resetting it with no success, then turned it off for a while and rebooted in secure mode. Then the speaker worked again. It happened again a couple days ago and I tried the whole secure mode again. It didn't work. Then I turned my phone off and waited a couple of minutes. Turns out that to fix the problem, you only have to turn the phone off for about 5-10 minutes and reboot. This fixes the problem, but I still don't know what causes it

Do a hard reset and restore your phone to its initial configuration.
Hard reset stepsMod Edit
In this way, any app interfering with your sound and speaker settings should be deleted.

Just had the same issue on the most recent stock 8 ROM. Turning it off for ~10min cleared the issue. Is the root cause already known by now?

Maybe headphone jack is damaged from water. Try a phone call with and without speakerphone.

Hi, sorry I missed it somehow back then and just noticed it... better late than never. The phone is actually being used w/o headphones (perhaps only by previous owner if at all). Fortunately the issue has never come back since then. When it was still there a phone call would only have one way audio while on speakerphone (Tx only) and switching to the earpiece would fix Rx.

So, I just got a SM-A520F with a similar issue - speakers simply emit loud a white noise instead of Ringtones, Notifications, Youtube, Music, etc. I tried the dial code *#7353# and was surprised to see that melody works fine.
Had no issues at first, flashed the official Lineage 17.1 - still everything a okay. I decided to try Magisk, and that's when the problem started. I went back to stock android, but the problem is still there.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
--Edit--
I just restarted the phone with earphone plugged in. This seems to work for now. I will see for how long this will work & report back later.
--Edit 2--
No further problems. I reinstalled Magisk, everything still seems to work. Booting the phone with earphones plugged indeed fixed the issue, hope this will may help someone in the future.

Galaxy Nexus speaker - no sound

I have a really strange problem - my phones speaker has stopped playing all notification sounds and ringtones, but the earpiece speaker is still functioning fine. I've tried almost everything but it doesn't seem to fix it. I've tried:
-Reflashing the image from Google official
-Flashing a non-official image
-Wiping and flashing the Google image
-Those applications that "force" sound out of the speaker in case a headset is in.
Has anyone here had any similar issues and any success resolving it?

In a call, does loudspeaker work?
I had the opposite problem. My earpiece wouldn't work, but my loudspeaker would. Sent back to where i got it from, they deemed to faulty and sent out a replacement.

Nope - it thinks it is on the loudspeaker but there is just silence. Pity, the warranty has recently run out for me! I might have to crack it open and make sure nothing is loose.

You may need a replacement then as it sounds like you've tried all other attempts, just had a look on ebay and they are fairly cheap anywhere from $10-20 for a replacement speaker.
same thing just happened to my phone. Was playing a game when the sound was cutting in and out. Noticed later that the sound from the speakerphone stopped working completely (i can still use the headpiece or headphones).
Is the speaker/vibration assembly connected by one cable? I assume if the phone still vibrates and the headphone jack works, it's just a problem with the speaker and not some kind of connection problem.
i have this problem. Fix with SoundAbout app.

What did you do?

Microphone doesn't work during calls with stock app

If I make or recieve a call with the stock sony call app, the other party can not hear me unless I switch to speaker. I tried with different people, it's always the same.
However, if I use google hangouts for calls the both the microphone and the spaker work just fine.
If I record a voice message in Whatsapp, the microphone works but is really low.
If I use Trackid for a song the microphone doesn't work again.
This has only started a few weeks ago and I can't find any solution on my own. Anyone has an idea what the problem could be?
I already tried safe boot and factory reset, it stays the same. I am really confused as it only happens in a few apps while working fine in others.
Thanks in advance!
Just blow some air into the microphone. I also have this problem

That didn't work :/
But thank you for your answer
I submitted my zl in service centre for 25 days and they do nothing , always keep saying that parts are coming. Finally I ask them to give it to me without replacing the microphone as i have to go somewhere, Finally I factory reset my phone use a pin,cotton and and some water in the microphone then blown some air And it WORKED. So most probably its the dirt. For your hangouts working it might be your phantasm.

[Q] my xperia zl external speaker stopped working

Updated to 4.4.4 but didnt solve it.

Jesus, this is the second failure on my xperia. First time was lucky still within year warranty. Suddenly stopped turning on. Local repair told no reason why.
Be Sure its speaker, for 2 days my speakers were not working but then i recognized that somehow it is taking the headset connected all time.
Call a number then turn on the loudspeaker to check..
Did you check if it works with the alarm sound at the Volumes section in Settings -> Sounds?
If it did work, it's a problem with audio mods as it somehow interferes with the speaker's behavior...
If you didn't install any audio mods, then it's likely to be a hardware problem ( " -_-)

[Q] Call and reception issue

Hello!
I have an unusual problem with my Note 2
Few days ago I tried to make a call but I couldn't - I heard the Note's sound that the call started but I heard no ringing. When a person picks up, I don't hear them and they don't hear me. When I hang up and redial, phone loses reception completely.
I thought that it is maybe an issue with mic and speaker, however Viber calls work fine. It is not an issue with SIM, it works fine in other phones.
I am running completely unrooted, never touched stock ROM.
I tried a factory reset and it didn't help.
Could anyone help me what this is and how can I fix it? Thanks!

N5X voice call problems - my voice severely muted / garbled for other party

Nexus 5X, Stock 8.1.0 with security patch level 5 April 2018.
If I make or receive a call, the other party cannot hear me, my voice is severely muted and garbled. I've tested this by leaving messages on my home phone and all suffer from exactly this.
Now the microphone itself seems to be fine - WhatsApp voice messages are perfectly clear, I installed a voice recorder app to check and the recordings are good. Google voice searches also work fine.
I've done a factory reset. I've uninstalled updates to the Google Phone app. I've swapped SIMs. I've tried alternative dialers. I've turned on/off 2G /3G /4G. But my voice calls are always rubbish.
Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on or suggestions as to what else to try?
Thanks!
Hi
I'm just visiting here with the same problem. I've been getting complaints about call quality from my end for a little while and it's driving me mad trying to be heard, often it starts off okay, then degrades rapidly after a few minutes, other times its from the start of the call. I've done the same as you, the mic tests fine in other apps, and sometimes it works okay. I did a complete factory reset which did seem to improve things but the problems returned, and no, I hadn't added any apps in between it working and going back to being terrible.
I've also tested calling my home answer phone and leaving a message to see what people are complaining about, and it is just constant drop outs. This happens over Wi-Fi calling, and over the network (EE network/UK), so it's not a reception problem. I've also used a plug in headphones with microphone and it's the same problem.
I really didn't want to buy another device at this time, but to me it's looking like a hardware problem.
Regards
Phil

Before I did the factory reset I had tried turning off noise reduction in the build.prop as recommended to try but it made no difference.
It sounds to listen too as though it's a faulty connection, and I'm thinking now this might be related to the reboot loops caused by connection problems, and this has the same cause, broken connections on the main chip. It's odd the sound is okay when recording sound or video, however that might simply be because the sound is being routed and processed elsewhere, and it's only when it's compressed for a call and routed via the Qualcomm modem that it's affected by a faulty connection. This would explain why sometimes for me it is okay, or starts of on a call okay then as the phone warms up the connection starts breaking.

Hi
I've now upgraded to a Pixel XL 2 as I needed to be able to be heard on calls and the 5X was out of warranty and LG didn't want to know. I really didn't want to upgrade quite so soon. The XL with the same SIM card on the same mobile network is all good and everyone can hear me, plus I have the benefit of VoLTE.
I believe the microphone problem is hardware related, most likely the same cause as the boot loop issues where the CPU or board has some broken solder connections. It sounds like a broken connection, and explains why it has progressively become worse. It's a pain as usually when I upgrade my phone gets handed over to another family member, but I can't do that with the broken 5X.
Regards
Phil
