Apparently (I use that word because I don't think I have ever seen this feature officially listed) the S5 automatically switches to speakerphone when you take the phone away from your ear. I guess this is supposed to be a convenience, but for me it just doesn't work well, activating speakerphone too often when the phone IS up to my ear.
Is there any way - a setting I haven't found, an app I can freeze, xposed module, whatever - to disable this functionality altogether?
Never seen or heard of that.. Did you google it?

Yes, I have googled it more than once and not found anything useful, but it's a pretty generic search for a pretty specific product so I may just not have hit upon it yet. I was hoping someone in here had some experience.
At one time I thought it was due to the wanam xposed module, though I can't find any mention of it in there, because when I had xposed disabled temporarily, it wasn't happening. I disabled several wanam settings and actually thought I had found something that made it stop, but it started up again without me changing anything else in there. It could be a feature of some other system tweaking app but having looked through everything like that that I've installed, I have yet to find a setting or mention of it.

I have this problem with both Galaxy S and S2. Every now and then I see a notification telling me "Your last call cost xxx" - claiming I made a call that cost me something, when I have made no calls at all. It happens often when I make a data connection or disconnection, and when all I do is turn on the screen from sleep. Has anyone had this problem? I experienced the problem with AT&T in the US as well as one of the operators in Nigeria (where I spend most of my time). But it seems it has nothing to do with the operator, or does it?
Nope. If you have rooted phone, you can go to Market, bownload small app: Permissions Denied, and using it, look closely which app is able to use phone... it is likely that you have downloaded game or app with some trojan in it, especially if it was cracked.

This was my first thought as well. Find out which Apps can make calls, and single them out 'til you find the culprit. It's the only thing that comes to mind for me.
If this is something "smart" it may survive uninstall...

I doubt it. Even if it could, you could freeze it and then uninstall it with Titanium Backup, manually delete it and it's components, remove it via ADB, etc.
Anything that you installed recently, (or even updated) check the comments for "malware" from other users in the market...

I'm coming from the S3 and never had any problems with this, but on the S5 Pandora gives occasional hesitations (real quick skips) whenever I let it play with the screen off. It might happen 2 to 10 times per song, just depending. Sometimes I can go a while without it happening, but can't figure out anything that's different. It does not seem to depend on signal strength at all, as it happens in areas with good coverage. I thought maybe it has to do with the cpu being throttled down when the screen is off, but I'm not sure...but if so, I would think others would be having the same thing happen. Anyone have any ideas?
Uninstall app named 'adapt sound'
Or if you aren't rooted, just disable that app via the app manager. Please ask if you need further detail , I'll gladly assist.
I appreciate the suggestion, but after testing out quite a bit with "adapt sound" disabled, it seems like this isn't really making a difference.
I also should add that I'm usually streaming via an aux cable. After further testing, it seems that maaaybe toggling from the higher to lower quality audio makes a little bit of difference, but still doesn't eliminate the problem. Also, not sure why higher quality audio would be an issue given the strength of my LTE signal when this is happening...
Any other suggestions...
Are you not rooted/not willing to? I used a friends phone (not rooted) to test disabling adapt sound, they were having this same problem. Unfortunately disabling it didnt really change anything, to my surprise. I rooted the phone and fully uninstalled the app, and what do you know, the stuttering went away.
Now there could be a debate here about correlation vs causation, i have no clue how or why this happen(s). Just that it seemed to fix it for 2 phones ive personally dealt with.
I will find the discussion i previously read which singled out 'adapt sound' as culprit & see if there are other suggestions,
I cant believe no one else has anything to contribute
I am rooted but had tested your suggestion out by just disabling adapt sound from the application manager. I'll try completely uninstalling it though and test some more.
Another thing Pandora does is occasionally freeze upon opening after I've used it a few times since a reboot (it'll play, but everything in the app is frozen and the system will warn the app has become unresponsive). So I have to reboot to fix. With the stuttering and this, I had kind of decided Pandora just has problems running on 4.4.2.
Anyway, I'll report back after more testing, but would still welcome comments or suggestions.

I saw posted somewhere else that someone found out that if they turned off adblocking in luckupatcher it fixed it, so do you have luckypatcher with adblocking enabled or adaway? Give disabling that a shot if so and report back.

I never was able to resolve the hesitations, despite having tried various combinations of disabling system apps like Adapt Sound and MusicFX. I also did not have any ad blocking installed. I was also having both Pandora and Spotify freeze and act wonky right after starting them up, which required a reboot to fix. That problem was more regular, and so I eventually narrowed it down to the fact that it would happen after every time I used the stock mobile hotspot. I was unable to resolve the issue any other way other than flashing back fresh to stock, rerooting, and reinstalling all my apps. Now everything seems to be working, and I think it may have resolved the occasional hesitations too - been listening a couple days and it hasn't been happening like it was before. Anyway, I went ahead and posted about the link between mobile hotspot and my issues with Pandora and Spotify here:

Touchscreen Issue: This thing has been persistent from the very beginning. After struggling for months, it has been mostly fixed with the last update. But double tap to wake is still a 50/50 chance, most of the time it's 4 taps to wake.
WiFi Issue: I have come across may complaint across internet about wifi issue for LG G4, ppl suggested several solutions but none really worked. Wifi connection suddenly drops, and also takes a considerable amount of time when waking up from sleep. It gets very annoying when I am on a voip or hangout call.
No it's not my router or my phone. Because it's the same on my home and work network, where other devices just work fine. Also I don't have any of those issues on CM12.1 rom. CM is quite nice on LG G4 but having to be using it on CM is not an option, as I lose the camera.
Besides I didn't pay the money to purchase a flagship device to use it on a different rom.
So, that's it. LG better fixes it on the Marshmallow, otherwise Good Bye LG.
Update: The WiFi is much better since I uninstalled Xposed. I am guessing that some xposed module had something to do with it. Can anybody confirm?
No change in the double tap to unlock though. Funny thing is that it works perfectly with CM.
Sorry to hear you are still having issues with your device. My only issue is the double tap to wake/sleep, but its something that I can live with. I never had an issue with wifi on any network, work/home/neighbors, ever.
Have you tried any of the roms supplied by our great devs or are you on stock?

I tried stock rooted debloated, also stock-based xtreme rom. Always having these issues.
Hmm..... Thats weird, My G4 has been runing good since I first purchased it in september..... Guess I got lucky.
I feel the ops pain, because I've had the WiFi issues a few times, and the tap to wake is 50/50 at best. I'm also growing tired of waiting for updates from LG or Tmo.
The poor 5GHz wifi support kills me. Only device in the household that has that issue. Other than that, though, I've been pretty happy with the G4.
I purchased my G4 a month ago and don't have those issues. Double tap works fine and my phone uses 5g WiFi at home. I wish you luck op.
As far as the WiFi is concerned, I have the same problem. Using WiFI Analyzer, I can see that all available wireless networks near me drop to 0 every minute or so, and then start back up. My wife also has a G4, and her device does not do that. I'm wondering if there was either a bad batch of WiFi radio chips, or poor connections to the mainboard for a group of these.
I think the tap to wake issue is because of that other stupid "feature" that I'm sure not a single person uses.
You know the one where when the screen is off, you swipe down from the top of the screen and it shows the clock? My phone often mistakes my taps to wake as swipes and tries to activate that instead (I can tell because the notification led comes on when that is activated).
Is there any way to turn that thing off? It is completely useless. It would be one thing if it showed the notifications but no it just shows the clock

I agree with you on... that is probably the case. A completely useless feature, which also doesn't work half the time.

Not sure if you seen in the g4 dev section there is a flashable zip for a camera now. I'll never go back stock.

Did you just root, or are you using other apps that uses root access? Did you uninstall or delete any system app?
It's very unlikely that rooting would break the camera. Try unrooting.. Super Su has the option to unroot in its settings. If doesn't work you may have to do a factory reset.

I rooted and installed wtrp, the first app I opened was snapchat and I was not able to open video snaps or make my own. I thought it was the app being supervised and I didn't check the camera app recording. I later installed apps for root like xposed installer to obtain snapprefs, but the problem continued to appear. After the download of a few apps and mods for root. I downloaded instagram and I was still not able to record videos. Finally I opened the camera and it was the same problem. I unrooted my phone and the video recording is working. I will root again and only test the camera app after root and after each app and mod I added before. I did try the factory reset and no luck.

Since you already got twrp up and running, I can try MicroMod777's stock rooted debloated rom.
Never had problems with my H811 even installed different ROMs from LP to MM and back. Never had hardware issues.
My only problem with the h811 is the stupid gps not shutting off and killing the battery, fixed by app ops
I'm stock everything and my notifications have basically just stopped working out of no where. I've tried every solution there is on the web to fix it except a factory reset - is this what it comes down to? Do I have to factory reset every few months just to keep the phone running normally? That's not really ideal.

Greetings all,
I have a new Note5 and overall I like it.
As you might expect I have been working feverishly to find up to date app solutions for my usage model and that will work on an unrooted device. I despise all that conspire to force this upon us! Anyway I have been testing loads of apps and somewhere along the way something has been set to vibrate to indicate something. It is happening at fairly random intervals and nothing shows on screen or in the pull down that accounts for it.
I have looked for events that are pending, past due, etc. I don't get many texts. So, it isn't that. I have even turned on airplane mode which should prevent any kind of updaes or pushes that might trigger an notice.I have checked all of the apps I am using and none are set to vibrate only. From the initial turn on of this phone I have run package disabler pro for Samsung. Using a basic list from this xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/guide-bloating-touchwizzing-note-5-t3184563. I have restarted the phone several times as well
Can anyone suggest some kind of system monitor/logging app that I can load that will allow me to find out which application is triggering this? Is there some other way I can find out what is triggering this event? I expect that a logging app will eat battery more but on a temp basis that would be ok.
Thanks all and here's to someone finding a way for us to root our notes without messing up our warranty and secure payment...

If you are talking about how it vibrates when you first pick it up for seemingly no reason, then that's a feature. It's to let you know you have notifications. It's called smart alert, you can disable it in the gestures menu.
vibrate (and sound) for 'no reason'
Thanks _MetalHead_
But no. This happens when it is sitting undisturbed. I will check and turn off that feature if it isnt already so it isnt adding to the confusion.
If I didnt say, I find no idication of active alarms or notifications.
P
Do you have any Bluetooth devices connected? I had a smart watch with my S5. Every time it connected or disconnected, the phone would vibrate. This was especially annoying when I left the watch in the bedroom while sitting in the living room with my phone. Every few minutes it would connect/disconnect and the phone would vibrate.

Not clear if this is contributing. Will turn BT off to be certain.
Actually, I think I can say for certain no. This has happened in airplane mode.
That is why I am looking for a system logging application or some equivalent method.

Hi, Go to settings and go to S Pen Option, and turn off all S Pen alerts, including power saver one.

Yeah, I re-read your OP, and noticed you said it was happening in airplane mode.
The S-Pen suggestion above seems worth pursuing.
Good luck!
I have the same problem. It would just randomly vibrate. I think is something to do with Google notifications.

I've seen this problem all over the internet for quite a few years on many different models of phones and Android. I have it happening on both my 6P and Note 9, figured I'd post here since it's the newer device.
It's mainly happening with Greenify and App Volume Control Pro. I already did all the fixes I've found online, such as making sure the apps are not being optimized by battery optimization settings, and whitelisting them in any where else that might be causing them to be disabled. The only thing I've not done is lock the apps in the recent apps viewer from being closed when you tap close all because it shouldn't matter anyways, I don't leave them open (truthfully I rarely open the actual apps anyways). They don't need to be left open to do their things, that's what persistent notifications are for, to make sure they keep running in the background. Now that I notice though, Greenify does not have a persistent notification on the Note for some reason. I checked all settings, it's not blocked or hidden anywhere. IDK. And AVCP doesn't have one on either device, don't think it ever has for as long as I've been using it. Can only lock apps in the recent list on the Note anyways afaik. (But this issue isn't happening to anything else under accessibility access settings)
I don't use programs like CCleaner or anything, the only thing similar I have on the devices is Samsung's Device Maintenance app, but that obviously is only on the Note so I don't see how it's the cause since it's happening in the 6P as well.
Both phones are running Oreo 8.1. The only thing not stock is that I have elementalx and TWRP installed on the 6P, otherwise it's the stock ROM and whatnot, no root.
This problem happens what I will say is randomly, because it can happen after rebooting the phone or after waking it up. Whether that seems to be 10 minutes or 10 hours doesn't seem to matter. Checking my accessibility has just become habit. The way I first found this was happening was because AVCP makes a toast message when I open an app that I have it set to change the volume for, like a game. The messages were not popping up so I looked into things a bit more when it kept happening.
Anyone have any suggestions other than what's been said in the past?
Same Problem, my device : Vivo Nex S 8/128gb Android Oreo 8.1 no stock rom it has Funtouch OS and no solution for the Bug/Issue.
I don´t know what keeps accessibility resetting several times a day. very annoying!
The knowledge in your article is very useful, thank you
