I was using ColorDict to look up some words, and suddenly the tablet became unresponsive, i waited and after about 15 seconds it rebooted, while it was rebooting, i heard the buzzing sound, looks like it's from the speaker, but not sure though. after rebooted, no more buzzing sound
The same thing happened a few hours ago when i opened google play music, play songs, put the tablet in sleep mode, after a few minutes the buzzing sound thing happened, because it was in sleep mode, i tried to wake it up by pressing the power button and nothing happened (i guess it froze), then i forced it to shutdown, but if my brain is correct it rebooted itself, i did force it to shutdown, but it did not shutdown, it rebooted itself automatically.
Also i was using text-to-speech in ColorDict, which reads the word, which means it used speaker. i'm assuming this caused the problem
when i used colordict, volume was low, the buzzing sound was not loud
when i listened to music, volume was higher, the buzzing was very loud
-> that's why i think the sound is from the speaker.
Is this a problem with Jelly Bean or does it have something to do with my creaking sound or hardware defect?
thanks

Occasionally when I reboot my phone there is a loud ringing sound that plays while the SD card is scanned for media. Is this normal? Is there a way to turn it off? The phone is laggy when it boots as well, and takes some time for it to allow me to drop the volume to zero.
Thanks
Just bought a second hand GS3 from ebay, the screen had a small crack but otherwise was meant to be OK. I am finding that the sound will work fine after a restart for as long as I use the device but then, after it has gone to sleep (screen off for five seconds) all sound will stop working.
I've tried clean wipes/formats etc. and also checked all relevant settings I could find (including turn off all sound in accessibility; what an odd option).
I've tried two ROMs and three kernels.
I've tried searching google and xda for hours but haven't found anything that wasn't related to the headphone port; this affects both speaker and headphone, although when the headphone is in and the sound has died I can hear some strange static noises when it's meant to play sound, could be interference or a clue.
I've dismantled the phone and inspected for damage, nothing obvious. While dismantled I tried applying pressure to the speaker flex cable and various other IC's to no effect.
It really seems like a software glitch since it only happens when the device goes to sleep;
You can turn the screen off and unlock within 3 seconds and it will be OK.
If you wait 5 seconds with the screen off - boom, no sound.
Any ideas? Is there some deep idle sleep setting that kicks in after 3 seconds I can disable or some way to log audio errors or... something?
Thanks

i have a problem with speaker. i can hear some noise from speaker whenever the speaker is active, and few seconds after...
noise is heard when mute or volume very low, since noise is not that laud..
type of noise, how to explain, its constant low noise, maybe something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSaJXDsb3N8&index=18&list=RD5Yw1mgZigEg
example 1: if i play mp3's or youtube i can hear it all the time(when i go to sleep and i listen Ludovico on volume (2), if i mute it it's still there. when i press pause - 3 seconds after that that noise is gone
example 2: i press vol button(up or down), normaly i can hear beep and beside that i hear that noise which stops 3 seconds after beep is gone..
example 3: i listen mp3 music through earphones, press pause, press volume button and i hear normal beep and also noise from speaker. from earphones i hear no noise i think..
tried some things already:
-ACR app (had a problem like this i think, but uninstalling and clearing cache didn't help), also uninstalled some other apps(viber, skype,..), tried safe mode it's the same, and now i even tried to reboot the phone and when samsung animation is on the screen that noise is there for few seconds,..??
p.s. S7 doesn't have boot-startup sound, right?
Today i had a chance to test brothers S7. SAME thing !!??
Please can anyone confirm me if this is normal or not.
And if anybody else have this issue.
You can test it just by pressing button volume-up or volume-down, having speaker near your ear. beside beep, there is a noise which stops after 3 seconds.
any hint would be great
Ive had BLN-L24 B360 for a little under a week now and have noticed some frustrating issues with regards to the volume levels on this phone. For the most part it seems as though the volume slider that indicates volume level/loudness is just a dummy switch because sound from the phones speaker does not go up or down, it is simply on or off, as in the first step above mute is the same volume as max.
This this is the case with all volume levels through the phones speaker and is extremely frustrating because the sounds are too loud. Whether it is screen lock or unlock, receiving a text or call, or the alarm, I dont need everything being super loud even though I have the volume set low. Im tired of being jolted awake by the alarm that I can't adjust and I cant even watch a video clip without headphones at night because everything is just too damn loud.
With head phones plugged in I notice there is some change in volume with notifications and ringtones but there is just no low volume . Media volume (music) with headphones is the only level that can be adjusted to a low volume but I notice that once the high volume warning dialog pops up around halfway, the volume from there to max stays roughly the same.
Ive seen other people say that low headphone output is a major complaint about this phone but has anyone else experienced loud, unadjustable volume from their phones speaker? It seems to me like a software issue which leads me to believe I'm not the only one. If my description of the issue was confusing, the volume output of the phones speaker is exactly the same in both screenshots.
Edit: While looking through all the audio settings once again it seems that somehow viper4android phone speaker was was turned on and extra loud was turned on unknowingly, which explains why the first step of volume was so loud. However this has since been turned off and still doesn't explain why alarms, ringtones and notifications volume is not really adjustable, the volume is just a bit lower now.
a factory reset could change the behavior.
However, this is not the same behavior many are facing, the problem, in general, is low loud speaker volume and none of the user reported this behavior you mentioned. may be a factory reset can help.
I need some help with a problem that I'm facing.
Some time ago, while I was fixing a pc speaker set which was with a 12v ac adaptor, I had my phone plugged in the earphone jack and because the pcb contacts where uncovered I touched them and somehow some voltage went to my phone and it restarted. After the restart you could hear a loud static sound even if the phone was in silent mode and even with headphones wherever were some sound to be played(like music, unlock and lock screen sounds). So I got it(somewhat)repaired from the shop I bought it.
I can hear the sound again but only if i place it near my ears. The second problem is that if you upper the volume from a point, you can hear the sound breaking. If I restart the phone, the second problem is fixed but only for some minutes. Please tell me a solution I have some pro tools to repair it myself.
