Earpiece hearing issue on using wired handsfree, workaround... - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

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.....

Hey buddy thanks for the suggestions. I am running on stock Indian ROM (XWK15). This issue was not logged in cooleagle`s newbie guide. Might be I`ll mail him to add this that thread..
Nevertheless thanks for the suggestions, will upgrade/change the ROM and check.

This is the problem with Stock Indian ROM only, so if you want to get rid of this you need to flash ZSLE5 Or ZSLE6 or XWLA4 ROM's or custom ROM's based on these ....

[Q] How to make "3.5mm tv out" function works well in Froyo rom?(not hdmi)

Anybody?i got a 3.5mm jack moto SKN6261A cable
Help me out with the TVOut with xt720..
so far i found that 3.5mm TVout function only works with Dexter's and wanted rom, and the kernel must be Stock 2.1 South-east Asia firmware (STR_U2_01.18.2_UCASHLSTABB1B4DEMA033.0R_USASHLSTBRTINT_P027_A009_HWp3_1FF.sbf.gz) before Froyo..other UK ,EUROPE,SINGAPORE ...sbf...don't work at all... and the default cpu speed is 550 mhz
everything ok but audio can't play on tv
only the audio problem...still playing from phone's speaker...no sound on tv ..pls can somebody tell me how to fix it
check this the original from Korean Motoroi present ..http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ACglLdUZxcE/
nobody konws how to make it works?
i think that ..with 3.5mm jack tv out is better than HDMI ..coz all the tv have AV input and can be easily connected via AV cable(3.5mm-AV)..this is so awsome with the xt720..coz you can connect to projector ,tv ,any bigscreen display..now the hardware is no problem only need to research in the rom ...anybody who knows how to fix this (sound unable on tv ) problem..please share your exprience...

Where do you get realhdmi? Market won't let me download it to XT720.
I don't think its available on the market anymore, I remember reading something about the dev pulling it due to some hardware issues he couldn't get around and due to some concerns with the market place itself.
I've been having a hell of a time with this myself. I've tried just about everything I can think of (using linux-swap, task killers, ext-2, ext-3, faster SD cards, etc) and the best I've been able to manage is to do is using Dexter's rom with all of the bug fix updates. Even then the video only plays for few minutes and then the phone hangs up. Pretty much have to pull the battery out and restart.
Driving me absolutely nuts.
It's back in the market, but apparently only for DroidX.
I stand corrected, but no help as you mention its for the DroidX only.
Aside from this one bug this Dexter's rom with Mioze7Ae's fixes is bloody well perfect. Its strange, vids play perfectly when on the phone. Just crash while being output to TV via HDMI.
Weird thing is that I don't see too many people complaining about it. Or perhaps I just didn't look through the boards enough, I've been looking for a solution for a while now.

It could be a hardware issue but just to check that it isn't, perform a nandroid back up and flash another rom, make sure to perform a wipe inbetween though.

what rom and which app ? can u state properly ?
He stated it is kisadworx in the title itself
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 ;]
Do u think that another kernel help me to resolve my problem?

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

[SOLVED] Problem with internal speaker (with one channel)

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.

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...

[ICS] Vibration doesn't work

As the title said, vibration doesn't work for me anymore.
When I flashed the leaked ics, my vibration stopped and the compass or magnetic meter or whatever it's called stopped working. I thought this was a problem with leaked ICS.
I have flashed the nordic rom via odin now and the compass works again but vibration doesn't.
Does anyone else have the same issues? Please help me
I can't do much without vibration
"I like spelling my name backwards"
could be hardware probs cuz my vibration didnt work like 4 months ago and i just didnt fix it ... Try to plug in ur headphone , and push the input bit to the left ( the side with volume buttons ) , try your vibration . If thats the case then its hardware prob .

Dont mind it buddy.
Reporting to MOD.
pudup said:
Nevermind, I found the problem. And yeah I did search but nothing turned up :3
Anyway the vibrator motor and the earphone jack are one piece and are connected by a small flex cable. Well the flex cable has been cut right down the middle
It's really small. I'd say its been caused by me probably dropping or jerking the phone while headphones were in and that caused the vibrator motor to break away from the headphone jack.
Seems to be a problem for people using Galaxy S2 as well. That's samsung products for you.
EDIT: And while I was trying to fix the thing before by doing what someone suggested which was using a headphone pin and moving it back and forth, I managed to tear the connecting to the earpiece too. So now I don't have a vibrator and I can't hear calls without earphones :/
Gotta get this **** replaced.

The electronics inside are very delicate, you should touch the internals only if you know what you're doing.
