Bluetooth (stereo) performance

Not quite the "5min music lag" issue, but seems to be BT problem -
When hooking up the Moto S9 or Sony DR-BT22 headphones, the Diamond seems to have a problem streaming music to them. It stutters often (erratically but on average every few seconds), and depending where I place the phone it loses contact even though it's only parts of my body in the way.
Now, I'm not made of lead, so this shouldn't be an issue. Indeed on the Kaiser - that huge monster of a phone ;-) - it isn't, so what's wrong with the BT on the damn Diamond?
I've tried the 25.05 and 25.18 radios and same effect.
Anyone else having this annoying issue? I had to send the Motos back because they were sh1te unless I held the phone behind my head! (The suplier said the unit wasn't faulty)
Frustrated Ferg.

TMO G1, No sound from rear speaker.

Yesterday, my phone stopped making audio notifications and playing the ringtones when I get calls, it just vibrates. Overnight I did a clean install of CM4.2.13 and still nothing. No audio will play out of it EXCEPT when I answer a phone call, just as I hit talk it will play just the tiniest snippet of my ringtone so I'm fairly certain that there's no hardware damage. Calls go through fine on the earpiece speaker and the microphone is working too.
I've scoured the nets for a solution and found none except one person mentioned something about the radio. Is it possibly that with flashing tons of roms that the radio might become damaged and that I should reinstall it?
I also tried installing the G1 audio hack in hopes that it might right the ship but still nothing. That's all I can think of!
I've looked at every setting and open process for a clue and nothing. There's only one or two diff places I've read about a G1 phone having this issue and from what I read it sounds exactly the same so I'm not totally alone.
Any help would be GREAT. THANKS!

just out of curiosity, when you say you did a clean install do you mean you simply wiped and installed it? Or did you wipe, install the Base, then the new rom?

I wiped everything I could using the RA-1.4 and formatted my SD card.
What would you recommend doing?

if theres no sound, Even when in speaker phone, U might have blown the speaker. Not sure where its sold at...

I have a same problem. Any ideas?

Bump bump ba-dump.

That sounds a lot like hardware damage to me. Your speaker might be fine but the connections to the speaker could very easily be damaged causing only part of the signal to get through.
If you did a full wipe of your phone too (including the radio/SPL) then i would certainly say it isn't a software problem.

Yes, I've wiped EVERYTHING. I actually reverted back to stock everything and then did a CM install.

Got the same problem here.
No sound from rear speaker. It would come on occasionally, when i knock it around a bit but but not for long. At times i can hear it making a really, really tiny sound when i play an mp3. I have to put it right up to my ear to actually hear anything. But most of the time there is nothing coming out the back speaker at all.
Doing a google search on this im surprised at how common this problem actually is and still no one knows whats causing it or how to fix it.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Found a fix for my problem!
I played an mp3. Than while playing around with phone i noticed that if i give it a little twist sound would come back on. I then took off the back cover and realized that if push the battery in very slightly i would get sound! So all i did was stick a piece of double sided tape to the back of my battery and that seems to have taken care of this issue!
Man, im i glad to see that one sorted out!
Hope this is of help to anyone!

So it's a dodgy connection? I must say, the G1 isn't the most well-made phone ever ><

Yep! Looks that way. Im about to open it up and see what the situation is.

Found the problem!
Opened up the phone last night. Took out the problem speaker. It has 2 springs comin out of it, which are supposed to make contact with the board. All i did was strech them a little and all is good now. Even took out the piece of tape that i had stuck on the battery for a quick fix.
Hope this helps.

Background noise headphone issue

I hear the sounds of the processor when my music is on a low volume (like 1 our so). It's a slight hiss (goes on when the processor starts to do some more work (like playing music, so it always bothers me when listening to music)) and clicks when the hiss goes on and off. I noticed it about a month ago. I think I would've noticed it if it had been there before. Anyone any idea on how to fix this?

Bump. Really, nobody?

I have no idea mate

Can any expert tell what is causing this, i have same sensitive hearing too and compared to Nokia 5800 which was silent 100%. Is it possible to remove this background hiss with some special headphones???

Ive experienced this with my computer. didn't have a clean power supply because of ghetto wiring in my home and it made the cheaper capacitors in my motherboard "hiss/squeak".
so it might be your power supply to phone
are you using the official samsung battery? cheap batteries from china have reported to really explode!

everything new out of box 1 month old, i do not use phone when charging...

I had this problem when TV-OUT is selected..
uncheck TV-OUT in settings and see

tv-out is unselected if i selected tv-out then hiss is 7x much worse, i still suspect maybe CPU emits electronic noise???

This is a common problem. I dont think you can change it. I have had the same problem all along and even asked for the same before.
Seems like some hardware/software problem. I even tryed all kind of different headsets, no luck.
You can try one thing. Try to disable data (if you use it). I sometimes notice that the phone stall a bit when it activates the dataconnection. Just a suggestion, dont realy think it will work out for you.

No sound at all

So, about 24h ago, my phone lost the ability to dispense and intake sound. Just like that. A peculiar thing is that only audio jack works.
I didn't drop it or hit it or damaged it in any way, nor did anyone else, the phone was with me all the time. It just stopped playing the sound whether it's a ringing or sms or a notif of any kind. Music don't play on speaker, and when a call happens, there is absolutely no sound on either end of the line.
I did a factory reset and a V20b reflash and everything else and... nothing helped
Is it a hardware fault?

looks like a hardware fault to me, but it could be something pretty simple. It sounds like your saying the mic died also? this would narrow the issue down if so.

Did you have headphones plugged in before the issue?

Yes, the mic died, too, because when called, the person on the other end gets no sound whatsoever from my part. It's the same the other way around, which is strange since the mic and ear speaker are on the opposite sides of the phone. What takes out both of them + the main speaker?
I recorded a film with camera while a moderate music played in the room, but there's nothing but crackling.

Yes, maybe 3 hours before I noticed the problem the first time. I listened to music while outside.
If you're aiming at the phone thinks it has earphones always connected, it's not that. The phone clearly registers when they are plugged in and when they aren't by displaying, or not, the earphones icon in the notifbar.

Sounds like a weired issue to me. Once it happened, did you reboot the phone after this isue occured?
If I remember correctly, my old phone (not this one) had exactly same issue, I think rebooting and clearing cache and stuff (not sure if factory reset) fixed the issue. Worth a shot before going to fix the hardware

It's happened to me many times on my last Sony phone. Just keep jamming the headphones in and out and it should clear, the phone still thinks they're plugged in

Yes, a few times. Factory reset and V20b reflash, too (It was on official 4.1.2 anyway), and wiped all the partitions from boot menu.

As I stated in my previous post, phone detects the headphones the normal way when they are plugged in and displays the headphones icon in notification bar, and removes it when I pull them out. Furthermore, music players pause/stop playing the moment the phones are unplugged.

Thanks, I'll have a look, but I'm not really sure what I can or should do.
The thing is, the phone is under a year old and has warranty, so I elect not to open it by myself... yet. Just don't want to leave it at the shop where it'll most certainly spend at least 10 days before anyone even looks at it (because of Easter and International Workers' Day). I'm also baffled by the fact that the ear speaker on top of the phone doesn't work. If it were just the bottom part, I would've gotten a replacement and switched it myself (one part holds both), but it's obviously something more complicated than that and I don't dare to discover what on my own.
In any case, I'll see what I can do about the problem after the holidays and I'll keep you apprised of the outcome.

Epilogue: The motherboard was faulty and they gave me a new phone.

Issue with bottom speaker in certain games?

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this. For me, specifically when playing Dissidia FF: Opera Omnia and one other game that I tried once but can't recall... When playing, sometimes the bottom speaker will not play sound at all or sound will play in "crackles" (as in, the game sound plays in crackle-length spurts). I can't find any particular cause for it, and messing with settings has done nothing.
Doesn't happen to me with watching videos, listening to music, or playing other games. But I'm wondering if it's somehow still something on my end, or if other people have experienced this. It doesn't happen constantly (sometimes the sound is just fine), but I'd say... Maybe 60% of my time spent playing, this issue occurs.

This is indeed a known software issue on MR2 seemingly to do with low volume. Does briefly increasing and decreasing the volume make the problem go away for a while?

Hmm... Initially I had thought I tried that thoroughly enough. But I figured out a way to make the issue more repeatable, and I tried turning up the volume well past the halfway point (which is usually overkill on this phone... lol). Turns out the sound does indeed kick back in when the volume is put above halfway or so. Sorry, I didn't realize it had to go that high to realize what's going on.
It's still weird that it only seems to happen in this one game I play (and that one other random one). All my other games, music, and videos have no issues. Well, here's hoping they eventually fix it... lol.

I had the same issue playing Clash Royale and Final Fantasy 7. Like you, turning it up to about 60% "fixed" the crackling. But it would return again eventually when I turned the volume back down. I ended up returning the phone because the Microsoft Store is an amazing place with 30 day returns. I love the phone so it sucks, but that issue is a real deal breaker. Once they get it fixed I'll look into getting another. On a side note; I did contact Razer support through twitter and they were going to send me an RMA. Had to go through the whole song and dance of "Did you try a hard reboot" and "Did you do a factory reset". If you decide to do an RMA and they say no let me know.

Nevermind
