Hello everybody.
I've just found a strange problem with my phone's internal speaker. And I think the problem might be there since my purchase but I never realized it before.
The thing is, when I play a stereo track on my phone I can only hear ONE channel through the internal speaker. However my headset work fine at the same time.
I've even downloaded an app from Play store to test the speakers and it can only play the left channel.
Can someone please test this app on your phone?
(cannot post link due to low post count)
Search Google Play for the app named "Stereo Test" from Farrell and test it on your phone, then reply with your results
You might also have this weird problem!
Note:
I'm on stock firmware (2.3.5) never rooted/flashed anything.
I did tried factory reset before posting.
Your help is much appreciated!

Well, I think i didn't described the problem enough.
I know the speaker is mono, but it should play both channels merged.
For example:
If I play a stereo song having only music in left channel & vocals in right channel. I can only hear the music (no vocals), but if I plug my headset it plays fine.
Did you guys get it?
If you still don't understand what I'm talking about.
Just download that app, test your speaker and post your results here.
That will too help me alot.

You misunderstood him. the right channel is not played on the internal speaker or down mixed and not that he has 2 speakers.
Incidentally, I have the same error.

Guys, Please also post others details like your firmware version, rooted or not, having custom roms, kernels etc. which will help us more...
here is a MP3 file to test
Hey guys,
I've made a mp3 file myself to make things simple (and to prove this problem to SSC)
If you play this file, you'll hear only one channel every 5 seconds (till 30sec)
i.e.
left channel will play from 0 to 5 seconds
next right channel plays from 5 to 10 sec
then again left channel plays from 10 to 15 sec (so on till 30 seconds)
After 30 seconds, you'll hear both channels simultaneously till the end.
Now, if I play this file I can hear the first 5 seconds then the speaker goes silent for 5 seconds then again I can hear for 5 seconds and so on...till 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds though, I can hear the song till the end.
In my case, I can only hear from left channel and that is the problem I was talking about.
I request you to try playing this file and reply here with your results.
(sorry for my bad English, I tried my best to describe myself)

What the OP is actually trying to say is that only a single channel (either left / right chanel) is audible from the mono speaker that we have in our handset. Normally both channels should be audible but without the stereo effect.
'whatever' I'll try to confirm the same just give me a sometime as I can't check it currently.
Cheers !

I don't understand how could it be gingerbread problem?
When lots of other people on gingerbread can hear the song without problem.
Btw, I went to SSC yesterday and although it was hard do prove the problem, I did it with the help of edited mp3 file.
But then the SSC guy asked me to leave my phone there for"ringer" replacement, which I refused.
But, when I was leaving SSC, I found another user having Galaxy R, and then we tested the mp3 file in it, which played correctly in his handset.
So it means there is something wrong with the hardware, right?
tried that
pudup said:
No. I had this problem and now don't without altering my hardware in any way.
Indian stock rom has this issue maybe. This could also be related to the music player you use.
Try a different player. Then try a different rom. ICS if you like but if you'd rather be on GB then find out what rom and kernel someone without this issue is using and flash that.
Good luck.

I tried different players before starting this thread.
In fact, I firstly noticed this problem while I was playing a song in "n7player"
Then I thought it might be player related problem and tried stock player, "Xplay music player" etc. but nothing helped.
I'm just waiting for the official release of ICS from Samsung India.
Thanks to all.
Its been almost 4 months since last post, but I'm again here to share my experience...
I finally updated to ICS today and this weired problem is GONE!
So, its confirmed that it was a bug in my stock firmware...
Plz update if you have same problem...

All the Skype video calls I was making used to be outputting their sound over the phone speakers. Recently, however, this seems to have changed. The sound is now only outputted via the earpiece, and I do not seem to be able to find the cause of the change, nor how to change it back. There is no speaker toggle button. Makes the video calling fairly cumbersome, since I have to put on the headphones (or Bluetooth), and cannot have a couple of people take part in the call at my end. The recent upgrade (2.5) did not correct the problem. What is annoying is that it was working OK before. I am just not sure before what. Any ideas anybody? Android 2.3.4 (stock HTC/T-Mobile), Skype is most recent stock version.

try viber.
I just used this like 2hrs ago, Toggle the mic button. I thinks it's a red icon, I've had this problem before. If not then try clearing the data. Let's us know.
Switching to another tool (viber) is not an option - it would take me less time to re-code Skype from scratch myself than to get my parents on a different program.
This is still an issue. The only way I am able to work around it is to quickly plug in my earphones and the unplug them. That seems to force skype to switch to the speaker away from the earpiece. I guess I'll have to deal with this until a future version takes care of it (hopefully).

Well is the earphones icon visible in the status bar?
If no then try another headset.
If other headset works then you need to replace earphones
Also the earphone jack could have loose connection with motherboard which needs soldering

I changed method to I9003, selected my region, and the same sympthoms.
I can normally listen to music with these same earphones, so I think they are ok.
It's an common problem i think, since i have the same issue. It probably is, because of the kernel not recognizing the headphones corectly, so spirit thinks it only has a speaker.
Thanks for answer ;]

Forget what i said. The same occurs on cm7 when you use i9003 as audio mode.

Hi,
I am on stock Indian ROM, I wanted to share the work around I had found for the earpiece hearing issue seen on my phone on using wired handsfree/earphones...
The issue I was facing was that sometimes when I unplug my hands free, I could not hear anything on the earpiece on the phone, like if I receive a Cal I couldn't hear the person talking on the other side.... I usually had too restart my phone to start hearing on the phone's earpiece...
Workaround:
when wired hands free is plugged into the stereo jack, start music player, Fm, or video player or anything that will play some sound in your earphones, now unplug the earphones or hands free.... So remember, whenever you want to unplug the earphone just play some music and unplug!!! This tricks always works for me
Not sure of this is a hardware or a software bug....
Please thank me if this has helped you.....

Hi
I got a Lumia 1020 from HK recently. everything was working fine till I got the black update.
When the phone is on full volume like 10/10 for calls and 30/30 for general audio, the speaker volume just drops to almost 0. For eg if I am on a call when on the road I have the phone running on speaker, it starts off with full volume and while it is running it just drops to inaudible. If I turn the speaker off and then back on again the same issue continues. I have checked the phone volume using the buttons and it shows 10/10 regardless of wether the speaker is on or off likewise with audio from apps or just audio files or videos. Now I have tried all the resets I can think of nothing fixes it. Should I flash my phone from HK CV to AU CV? it is a RM875 model and running on black update.
The firmware version is 3051.40000.1345.1003 and the AU version is 3051.40000.1345.1006.
Anyway I can find what is the difference between these to versions?
will it be a problem if the model number is off a black or yellow phone instead of white if I have to end up flashing the phone?
Please help!

Hi Tanimi
I haven't got any equaliser app not that I am aware of. The list of audio video apps that I have are as follows

Nokia Mix Radio
Nokia Play to and
Viber
In the settings Equalizer presets are set to none which I guess if for headphones only and in the enhancement flip to silence is on.
Would any of these be the issue?

Hi The equalizer option only highlights when I connect headphones to it. I can change it to classical but then when I remove the headphones it is not highlighted anymore, plus I rang my partners number and on loudspeaker the problem persists.
It just drops to nothing and it only returns if I turn the speaker off and on again and after a few seconds it is back to square one.
Frustrating!!

This might help. While I was thinking about the flash I put the phone in test mode and did one test on the audio the volumes low normal and high varies in volume but when in 700Mhz there is crackle in the sound which drops at 1000MHz and then totally disappears.
Everything else in the test came back good. So I am certain now that it is the firmware.
Will keep you posted if you want me to.

I successfully flashed the phone and No Bricks in sight :victory: . However the issue with the speaker was not resolved.
While the speaker was in test mode before I did the flash I noticed a crackling sound in 700 MHz and then it reduced as the MHz reached the max. The test showed speaker was AOK but in real use even after the flash to AU var the problem existed. The volume would just drop. The other day I was using the navigator and the voice guidance did the same thing and before you know it the speaker failed to produce any sound.
I hooked it up into nokia suite for store and in test mode there was no sound at all from the speakers.
Looks like I have no choice but to send my phone away to Sydney hospital where he will be looked at and hopefull discharged in a weeks time.
FML. I have reflashed it to HK var and it will be on its way today.
Forgive me if this has been asked already (I did spend 5 minutes searching here to no avail...)
Obviously since official CM 12 came out the glitchy audio problems have been sorted out on all the ROMs, though no matter what lollipop ROM I install it's just too damn quiet. Feels like it maxes out at about 70% the volume of CM11S and as I listen to spoken word not music it's become unusable.
Is this some weird confluence of events that only affects me? (I can't find any other complaints) Anyone know any workarounds? I installed Viper4Android and it worked but there was no way of getting it any louder (if anything it was a bit quieter no matter what I tried)
The buggy Beta CM12s were fantastically loud, but alas the Max Headroom style digital glitches made them unusable.
I would love to be able to hear my audiobooks and podcasts again. Can anyone please advise?

Thanks but doing that killed my OPO. I now get "couldn't play back the track you required" on Play Music and "episode appears to be in a format we can't play" with Pocket Casts.
I should also have pointed out that speaker volume is of no interest to me, just bluetooth and headset. Thanks for taking the time to answer me though.
