Hi All,
I have Samsung Note for a few months an I'm having real problem with the low speaker volume, I tested various solutions but nothing helped.
I want to check if this model has a manufacturing hardware problem. What I'm asking you is to make a small test,
about a minute, on a problem I lately noticed in my phone that the "right speaker" isn't working.
I listened to "happiness is a warm gun", this song is comprised of 4 parts and in the last part I couldn't hear
John Lennon singing but I could hear the other group members making background sounds.
Then it occurred to me that the song was recorded in two channels, John Lennon in one and the others in the second.
I then checked my speaker with the "Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" I found on YouTube.
It proved to me that I could here only the left speaker, the right one didn't make any sound.
Since I read so many Samsung Note owners complain about the weak speaker volume, I request you to
check if this happens also on your phone. I want to check if this only happens on my phone or if it's a global
issue and perhaps that is the reason for the low volume problem.
I cannot post outside links yet because I'm a new user, so I ask you to search for the
"Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" on YouTube and try your phones.
Please state your model and OS, mine is GT-N7000 and the OS is Android 4.0. I think it is a European version.
Two notes:
1. I tested those audios on Samsung S and they sound fine.
2. My phone is still under warranty, I will eventually give it for repair but I first want to know
if this problem happen to others as well.
thx

hi, I just came back from the store, I gave it for service so I haven't checked the headphones.
The guy at the store first tried to convince me that this is normal and this phone doesn't have
left and right speakers, only single one. I had to show him this audio test on another Samsung device
in order for him to accept it as fault. It's good I had some of you guys to do this test for me so I could be sure
when I was talking to him.
ya.. we seem to know more than them
hi,
I found out what the problems was, it is related to power saving mode.
When the battery goes beyond 30% than only a single speaker is heard.
Samsung confirmed it and said they should fix it in a future version.
If you are below 30% (or whatever value in your settings) but charging
than you will hear both speakers.
Just to let you know guys.

That's correct, but what about 4pin headphones? All pairs I tried was not working properly, the low frequencies has been cutter off, so the sound was flat and dull... and I'm also not sure if mic was working, cause never tested it due to low overall quality of sound. And I wonder is it just me, or anyone else noticed it as well?

I think the OP is asking how to initiate a call using the earphones. On a Nokia Symbian smartphone, one can: Press and hold the button on the earphone, say the contact's name, and then the call is initiated. Pressing the button twice is redial.

STOP using bold please.
I don't know what happened. All of a sudden callers can't hear me while I can hear them. I did some research and it looks like the lower mic is out. When I try to record my own voice I can barely hear it. Speaker phone worked with callers for a while, but now all of a sudden they can't hear me on speaker phone either.
I'm thinking it might have been water damage or my cat did knock my phone off my bedside table twice, but I don't really know the cause for sure.
I can't afford to buy another phone right now. I really need to find a way to fix this.
Please advise. All suggestions welcome!

Afraid not.
I hope someone can chime in with info on how to help... you may want to JUST FOR KICKS try flashing a different ROM and pray it is a software error...although I doubt it.
Guess a solution...absent having to do hardware repair... is use a Bluetooth or wired headset
Does anyone know if the mic is hardwired into the mobo or if it is an aux attachment?

Please add info about your phone, ROM, rooted? better would be screen shot your about phone page and attach it. here is what I did to my Note N-7000 when it had such problem.
When I found out this problem my phone had ICS 4.0.4 fully rooted with safe kernel. First thing I did, backed up all my apps (Titanium Backup root), contacts (Super backup App.) etc. Then did a Factory reset from settings. Tested my phone by talking to my wife in other room, was working fine. Then I looked into apps I had installed and removed I did not really wanted. And it worked.
So I would suggest you to do same before thinking of flashing any other ROM if you are happy with the one you got.

Thanks for responding!
I was on a custom JB rom (RocketRom) ... wiped everything and switched to one of the newer ICS leaks ... (AllianceRom) Didn't make any difference, unfortunately.
I'm thinking it has to be hardware, and I'm going to have to open this sucker up and see what I can see.
Newer ICS leaks?
ICS has final released version... you installed alliance ICS? Or the JB leak?
Jb =4.1
ICS = 4.0

Ah yes, of course you are correct. I mixed the two up in my post. Was on ICS, now on JB.
Strange thing ... A short while after switching to JB, I noticed the the voice recorder function is working again. It was not before, but now I can actually hear recordings I make. Also Speaker Phone is working again, so callers can hear me as long as I use that option.
Youtube, yes, that is my next option.
You may want to try a gingerbread ROM for kicks

Just wondering if any of you sometimes have had any weird sound as distorted / cracked or garbled when phone is ringing or in any notification sound?
Problems found by some users and me:
Crack, Garbled or distorted on notification or incoming calls (ringtone) even on some games.
Doesn't matter the volume level, it's not happening because it is at max level and came a distorted sound, that is not the problem.
It fixes the problem turning off and turning on the phone, so this problem comes intermittent and barely..
I'm pretty sure that could be an android os bug or sound driver bug but still I want to confirm with some of you.
We have 2 Nexus 6 at home, my wife and mine and both of us have experienced the same weird sound issue rarely times and not often, so I don't think that is a defective hardware but I am not sure.
1st Nexus 6 phone Lollipop 5.01 , Stock and rooted
2nd Nexus 6 phone Lollipop 5.01, Stock, Not rooted.
Please advise.

I have noticed this also, it is like a crack just before the actual notification starts to play.
I used to get it all the time on the Twitter app when loading photos (load a photo, go back leave it say 10 secs and load the same photo), it annoyed me so much that I changed my twitter app to just get rid of it.
Obviously is software. Sometimes even it doesn't come out. For example the facebook pop sound when you refresh the news feed. Going to RMA the phone for other issues, I'll let you know if in my new one there is the same problem.
I am having similar problems. I get massive sound distortions all the time. When listening to music, watching videos and playing games. It sounds like a vinyl witch scratches and hurts my ears. I had created another thread but nobody seemed to have the same problem. Is anybody here witnessing something like that as well?
I was having the same problems (at least I don't notice it any more). What I did notice it seemed to always happen when you double clicked on your notification from the lock screen. It was really starting to bother me as I paid a fortune for this phone and it shouldn't have this. Anyway's, I think I found a fix as I don't seem to have the problem any more (it's been 3 to 4 days). I went into sounds and chose other sounds and disabled the screen locking sounds. It seemed to have work. I do have the touch sounds disabled to, but when I only had that on it still did the distorted sound. I'll re-enable it and see if I still get the distortion. I'll post later on.

Are you getting this through the speakers or through a headset. Mine is working great for music or video playback. I also don't blast it either, that could be it.
I'm getting that same issue. Even when I get a call it distorts and it only seems to do that when my ringer is on full blast... It sounded horrible.. It almost made me wanna switch back to my M8 GPE edition.

Apple earpods mic is not wokring on my oneplus 3t...the problem is with the mic. They don't work on calls, where as they are working fine with other devices...im on oreo beta 17...Are there any fixes available? Please let me know...thanks in advance!!!
Edit: a trick worked...move to second page and see the trick explained by @Shashank.446
A good indicator is the fact they are specifically designed for apple iPhones. Those earphones are unique to a phone a person purchased. They aren't plug and play type accessories. You might get them to work as headphones, but if you seriously brought yourself a set of $100+ apple iphone earbuds thinking they'd work 100%. I hope you kept a receipt.

Also building on what he said, you're on the Open Beta 17, which will give issues.
Why in the name of all that is good and holy, would you buy the Airpods, when many reviewers say that it's audio is meh.
There are way more better sounding Bluetooth earphones for less.

Guys, he didn't post "Airpods" (the Bluetooth ones), he posted "earpods" which are the regular wired headphones. I assume the OP has this from a former iPhone. I would expect in that case the buttons don't work properly, but the mic should work. At least that is what typically happens in the case of earpods + Android device. So the OP's question is a valid one.

There's no flashable zip for this kind of purpose, since the system compatibility is required to be changed from AOSP sources. It's just incompatibility between Android and an Apple accessory.
Yep I have the same issue... On nougat the mic and button worked perfectly fine but on Oreo stable now the mic seems to just create a static noise and the button keeps toggling the input as headset and headphones (the icon in the status bar keeps switching back and forth)

Yep I have the same issue... On nougat the mic and button worked perfectly fine but on Oreo stable now the mic seems to just create a static noise and the button keeps toggling the input as headset and headphones (the icon in the status bar keeps switching back and forth)

same problem
I am having same problem. Upgraded to Oreo yesterday and noticed that my iPhone Earpods aren't working and producing only static noise. Have a Sony wired headset which is working perfectly fine. As I read above posts, looks to be not just with OP 3T, it is Google Oreo as such, which is really bad and annoying. iPhone headphones have noise cancellation microphone feature which is not announced upfront. It helps a lot in taking important calls without surrounding noise. When someone produces a good product, should ensure compatibility and not go against it. Note, it was working till Nougat and not working only on Oreo. Very annoying. Google you are getting bad in terms of attitude, if the message about removal of support from Oreo, is right

I did a thousand reboot mine didn't work
Found a work around
My apple earpods dint work too after the Oreo update on my Oneplus 3T (Mic and play/pause controls not working). While i was going through this thread, i was trying to understand what might be causing this behavior. Surprisingly found a work around for this problem.
You need to insert the earpods 3.5mm plug into the mobile headphone jack to a level (except one last click) and hold it there for a second or two, where you can notice the 'headphone with mic' icon pops up on the status bar. Give it a second again and push that one last click in. The headphone, mic and controls, all of them worked as expected, everytime I did this procedure. I've tested it tens of times before posting it here. This trick might work with android Oreo phones other than Oneplus 3T too but i have not checked. Plz do post it here if somebody gets to find out if this trick works for other phones as well.

They work perfectly in nougat
I've found this too - and it's really annoying.
I use Apple Earpods with various phones (mainly for telephone calls) and to have them suddenly stop working is frustrating.

Yes.
Lots of other, non-Apple devices have worked OK with them.
As has my 3T until recently.
PS: The fix (above) where you push them part way in, pause, then push them fully in works for me too

The post you responded to, specifically asked if other Oreo devices work with Apple Earpods.

Pretty sure he was asking whether it's Oreo overall (changes made by Google - regardless of the specific device) that broke the Earpod functionality; or something specifically done by OnePlus in the Oreo update.
