Hi,
Anyone has encountered crackling in the earpiece ? I am getting it everytime I place a call the moment I press the call button.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Cheers

I was going to make the same question but found your post.
I recently bought two galaxy S and one of them has a problem with the earpiece: when making a phone call there is a crakling sound (like an interference or electric spark). This does not happens all the time and it is very low but when it starts usually it continues into the conversation and sometimes can be quite anyoing.
I realized this because I have two phones at home and becasue I test every bit of hardware of them , in order to exchange the phone asap if I found a hardware problem.
Maybe this is a common fault: take you SGS, make a phone call and listen very carefully to the earpiece before the rigntones start. Do you hear anything? I can hear a soft crakcling or pure silent depending which pnone I use.
As it is now, it is not a big deal but I am worried the crakling sound would increases in the future. Do you think I should try to exchange/fix my phone now that it is on warranty and I have not root, mod, etc..?
I got mine fixed by Samsung service. Replaced motherboard.

i dropped my phone and speaker didn't work since. but one day i got a earphone lag sound didn't go through earphones but through speaker and it worked... i was happy and listened to music for 20 min. then i turned music off. next time i tried speaker it still didn't work. no ringtone no music nothing...
i am wondering if there is any drivers for speaker or something i flashed 3 different roms but nothing... beacause hardware works sound is comming out of speaker... and i also have a gatged witch u plug in 3.5mm jack but it is not for sound... and speaker work...
if anyone knows how to ¨fake¨ earphone lag i would be happy too. so i could hear ringtone and alarm...
any way to redirect all sound to front speaker?

Per OP request, this thread is closed.
My speaker plays music no problem. When I place a call I can hear the person on the other line. They can hear me for 2 seconds then they can't hear me..... Faulty speaker maybe? Is there a way to turn up the input sensitivity or Idk..... I just need help

Their hearing you is the mic, not the speaker. I wouldn't fool with it, I'd bring it to a DSC (if your local store isn't one, ask where the nearest one is) and ask for an exchange if they can't fix it there (which they probably won't even try).
Make sure you have EVERYTHING backed up - all you'll get back are your SIM, your SD card and your battery. You'll have to reinstall everything.
(This is the kind of bug that limits the lifespan of a firmware developer to about 25 years, after which he turns into a tree and refuses to accept mental pain any more. Or there's a timer in your phone that shoves a sound insulator into the mic after it's been on for 2 seconds. Thinking this way is WHY firmware developers refuse to think after a while.)

Not sure how it happen, Just buy from a guy in Craigslist and find out it have no sound.
No sound at all ( that mean when turn on no sound, using the phone no sound, call no sound - the call app freeze or foreclose when call), YouTube foreclose when I hit play, sound recorder foreclose when I hit record ( look like any apps touch to the sound thing will foreclose when run)
I had tried other kernel but no luck.
At first I think it was water damage but when I look at water indicator it still white.
I ask the guy and he said the phone got like this because last update. Hard to believe ppl on CL but I have seen some phone lost sound because update too.
Serial number was null before, I have try to flash a new EFS and I get SN back.
Thanks a lots, I will donate $20 if anyone can help me solve this problem.
Install a custom ROM on it & test... Might be software related
Same thing happens. No luck with CM12
Voice recorder fails " internal application error. Microphone may be in use"
Look like all apps cant access the sound part? codec?
Water damaged phone?
At first I think it was water damage but when I look at water indicator it still white.
Second, if It got water damage why all the apps utilize sound fail? Maybe only one speaker or microphone fail when they get wet?

MB or Speakers and MIC

One way is trying another Motherboard or its the speaker and Microphone damage, you can try changing the Speaker and Mic to see it that works or get another MB.
Did you do a full odin to stock? Like completely wipe everything
Did you test the phone before you bought it?
Have you tried using a Bluetooth or wired headphone? If the previous owner used a cheap wired headphone and the tip of the headphone broke inside of the jack. Software on the phone is going to redirect all audio and mic to the headset jack. With no headset present it would render the internal microphone and internal speakers useless

There is no tip of headphone jack inside the phone, I tried with good headphone but no luck too.
All of the app use sound will foreclose when I hit play and sound recorder foreclose when I hit record

The phone turn out is hardware issue. There is a small corrosion on the board.
Anyone in here offer anything for it before I sell it on ebay?
Hi,
I have a Note 8, now about 4years old. I began having issues with front speaker during calls about 2 years ago -about 2 months before warranty ended. First it was intermittent, about every 20calls, the speaker was so quiet, if I had aircon working, I could not hear anything.
During a period of about a year, it came so far that every call is problematic. I had a company phone with 2SIM so I put both in and I was ''happy''. BUT STILL MY 1000€ phone had speaker problems after 2-3years.
Now I got around - read got time to tinker - to fixing this issue and get my nice powerfull phone back in use.
As I was not to carefull with water (rain drops) on my phone - its IP67 or68 even - my first thought was that the speaker got wet. I ordered China replacement and bought 5pcs just to be sure one will definitly work.
Tried it with all 5 pcs + original and resault was the same. LOW volume. Yes I checked the contacts and cleaned them but no oxidation or any other clear issue with the HW.
I started googling for the problem and found that this was a problem on Samsung phones, though ''very'' rare. Solutions were usually in the line of restart/farctory reset/check settings of the phone and it will be OK. Tried factory reseting/settings.. and no luck, still have the problem.
Now I found a site with info on how to get inside Diagnostic SW in the phone. Got inside, tested and result was low volume.
I also found some info, that if the top mic had dust in the hole, the noise cancelation did somehow lower the output volume on the front speaker - not sure if this is legit info, I don't see how noise cancelation could interfere with received sound output. Just to be on the stupid safe side I removed the protection film on the case for the mic and cleaned it. No affect.
Now I do not know where to turn, if this is a SW or HW issue. I will be calling the Samsung distributor in my country tomorrow to ask what would be the solution, but from my previous experiance I am predicting the response - no solution or your motherboard needs replacing with cost of about 500€.
Just to get the idea how low the volume is - My wife and I bought same phone on same day, so I have a good comparison. Yes she does not have any issues and no I will not open her phone to check for my ''dead'' speaker funcitonality.
If I call the phones and put her on lowest sound setting, mine is still about 30% lower with setting to max. This result is same either phones are in same room or in different rooms - just to be sure the noise cancelation is not interfering.
Do you guys have any ideas/experiences with this issue? How did you fix it?
If you suggest reflash the phone, where can I find original ROM?
Hope you guys can help me.
Thanks.
