Send txt or snap a pic cuts out music - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A new user to a S5. I have changed a setting and it is driving me crazy. I have only had this phone for 5 days but now any music i listen to cuts out for about a second and when take a pic or send a txt. What could cause this???
Thanks for any help

I thought I would update this thread since the problem has gone away. Late yesterday I received MB download and I was on 5.0 and I thought oh cool we will if this update fixes my problem. I updated and soon after I got another message there was an update needed .. I thought oh crap Am I in a loop? I took the second update and now I am still 5.0. WTH?! Oh my problem in this subject seems to be solved now after it has been "reset".
thanks

I guess I will keep replying to my thread. uggggg....
My problem is still there but the music only cuts out when i am plugged into headphones. out the external speakers it does not cut out music (Spotify or SiriusXM)

static clicking noise

does anyone have any static clicking noise? for example b4 some sort of sound comes on u hear a little static click from phone, or right when about to call, u click call and a clicking static noise clicks once or twice then calls? everything runs perfect, but this noise annoys me so much? is there a fix for this or do i need something?
no idea what you are talking about :/ if you add ROM, device (Fuze, sprint touch pro, Touch pro Europe,etc.) and Radio (stock or not)
I'm guessing it's a radio problem but that's just my minor educated guess. Also when does this happen? phone call, sms, before ALL sounds?
i've tried many different radios same problem, usually occurs right b4 sounds occur, say i click on a contact ill hear this static click and etc
Not sure what you're asking, so please clarify. Also this doesn't belong in the rom development forum. I'm moving to the raphael general forum.
for example, when sounds are coming out right b4 they do, a static clicking sounds comes out of speaker. for example, i press call, right b4 the call starts i hear click then it begins dialing. the voice and talking is flawless but that clicking noise is just annoying me
I get the same sound on my Fuze. it is very annoying. I hear it before most sounds and if I enable event sounds I hear it on almost every screen touch. It sounds to me like the speaker is being "powered up" in some way. I think that it is also a cause of battery drain. Since I turned off the event sounds the battery lasts much longer.
One other thing that I noticed is that back of my device near the speaker would get hot when I heard this sound a lot.
I am using NATF 2.3 ROM but it happened with 2.2 also. I have not changed the radio.
IF anyone has any advice I would appreciate it, as the first posted stated, it is annoying.

I had similar issues with my phone a while ago. I took it back to the ATT store and they said not to worry about it, unless it got worse. I've since completely reset my phone and started from scratch and it doesn't do it any more. I used to get it alot with opening and closing the keyboard, but also with screen touches too. But, knock on wood, it's not happened since I reset my phone.
yes, chris thats exactly it... let me try event sounds and see if i have same issue there.
cant remember but i dont think i had it in romeos 1.4 and difinately did not have it when i first started flashing or the stock rom that came with it... not sure if its something now in these new roms. i just dont want to flash my phone right now bc i have it set up the perfect way for me, as its fast. responsive..... but if its last resort i will go back to romeos 1.4 to experiment it out

I've been hearing this sort of noise myself, and I have the AT&T stock Rom on my Fuze. I hope it's not another bug with the phone, for I can not return mine (past 30 days & phone return limit). It's not that bad so I ignore it. I only hear it before it rings, not during my calls so it's ok.
Please go to Start, Settings, Personal, Sounds and Notifications and disable screen taps!

lol its a little more complex than that.... it seems like the speaker has to turn on or sumtin, its weird. like states in a previous comment, its right b4 any sound occurs, but during calls etc it is perfect.
Yep, I had that noise on both my original and replacement Fuze's.
Sounds like GSM buzz on the speaker - like when you have your phone next to a T.V. and you get a call or text.
I had this noise on the first fuze I got, 2nd and 3rd did not have it.
It sounds to me like the sound chip is in 'deep sleep' mode, and when the wake event is triggered, some voltage is getting passed on to the speaker, hence the short 'click' noise, which only occurs at the start of audio streams (the sound chip goes back into sleep mode shortly after playing the sound, which is why you again hear a click later)
If you don't hear any clicking in a steady stream of sound (like playing an mp3) this is pretty likely to be the cause.
is there any fix for this or anything we can do to avoid the clicking? its just an annoying sound even though im starting to get sued to it still frustrating lol
Fix Please?!?1
yes i need a fix please this is annoying... i might go back to the g1 if i cant find a fix
i think i have narrowed the problem down, im going to reflash my phone and will post an update in the next 20-30 minutes
Any updates on this? I get it constantly (before calls and other alerts, just before playing a song, when playing Teeter...)
Has done it on the original 3 (au) firmware, the 2nd update of the 3 (au) firmware, Elite RC2 and ROMeOS 1.5x and 1.7x.
Never gone away
UPDATE:
if u are having this issue, please call your cell phone company, and ask for a trade... its a sign of speaker going bad... i got new one and problem is fixed.

Peculiar things I noticed with my Infuse.

Not really big deals to me but whenever I take a picture with the front camera and I try to send it over mms, the person can't see it. They download it like normal but when viewing the msg, they don't see the picture. I'm pretty sure its because of their phone but I'm curious as to why it wont work.
The other thing is that one time when I was listening to music and I had some JVC Extra Bass headphones plugged in, someone called so I answered by sliding the bar on the screen as usual and when I answered, the music stopped and and the call connected and then right away, the music continued again with the call still connected and the caller could hear the music a little. That only happened once but I haven't tried to repeat it so I don't know how common it is.
If anyone could give me a little insight about it, please do. I'm really curious about these two things.

[Q] Lollipop Bluetooth Volume issue

I've searched all over, and I feel kinda like I'm the only one experiencing this issue. :crying:
We all know, normal operation is as follows: You play music via bluetooth. When you get an event that generates a sound, usually, the music plays a bit quieter, the sound plays and then the music returns to normal volume.
Whenever I use ANY Lollipop ROM, after the sound plays, the volume keeps turning up (even higher than I can with the volume controls) until the sound becomes distorted and very obnoxious to listen to. A quick work around is just to toggle the volume down then back up. However, you can imagine how difficult that is in the shower, or when I'm driving.
I've reverted back to 4.4.4 for now, I don't have those issues. But I'd really like to upgrade to Lollipop. I'm hoping someone has some insight into this, or at least this will get the ball rolling.
Thanks for your time! :fingers-crossed:
I have the same problem on Lollipop
*sigh* this thread got about as far as they all do. LOL No one seems to know what the issue is

Yep, I'm having the same problem. I can't listen to music and use Google Maps voice navigation at the same time in the car because of it. My solution was to mute the voice.
Looks like we'll just have to wait it out. It's a very strange problem; even stranger still it applies to all Lollipop ROMs. I also thought I was the only one!

Guess we'll have to wait until this gets the attention of someone who can do something about it. Until then, I'm stuck at KitKat --- Oh Also, new fact.. I't's NOT just bluetooth, it happens when using wired audio too.

LOL glad to see I'm not the only one!
I dont get it with wired, but I get it with Bluetooth. I pause and play my audio and it goes back to normal levels.
I have another problem. Every time I'm listening to music (Spotify) in-car I can't listen to the navigation voice! It keeps lowering the volume of the media down every time the lade in the phone should say something but instead it's just silent!! This is getting really annoying and dangerous at the same time (while driving)! Even the "Here" app from Nokia doesn't play over any bluetooth connection (including BT Speakers)!

Sound Bug - Bottom speaker sound going through ear speaker/not working at all.

Occasionally the sound in the bottom speakers will stop working and some apps will play through the ear speaker instead. When this happens Google Music, Youtube and some other apps won't work at all. For example pressing play in either of those apps does nothing, as in the play button never changes to a pause button. My alarm app on the other hand plays through the ear speaker instead of not working at all. The ear speaker sound volume is very quiet and doesn't appear to be controlled by the media volume either.
The only remedy that I've been able to find for this is a phone reboot
Wanted to bump this thread -
I originally thought this issue was related to Bluetooth because I use multiple bluetooth devices, but this has happened again recently when I didn't use any Bluetooth devices.
I have the exact same issue, and it's occurrence is random. This started happening a month back. I'm guessing this is due to some software update or something, but its really annoying and the only fix is a reboot.
Anyone has any ideas, whats going on ?
It's been happening multiple times a day lately! It's gotten substantially worse over the past month. I was watching a video, sent a text and when I went to resume it wouldn't play - low and behold the bug came back.. definitely appears to be completely random.
i think that there is somthing with your connection

This problem is driving me crazy
I have the exact same issue. Factory reset and update to newest firmware didn't help any idea?
Wash your phone. And wait till it dry.
I (and other person that I know) have the same issues.
No sound from bottom, and sometimes during the call no audio (I can't ear evrything and the other don't ear me).
Now I'm tring the mobile phone in safety mode.
And I've seen (for the edge version) that next android could fix the problem.
Someone have any update?
Have you tried the safety mode?
Im pretty sure its caused by Facebook messenger and Skype
From what I can tell, this seems to happen when you are playing any kind of audio, such as a video or game, and then receive a notification. You then go to the notification to respond to it and go back to your app that was playing the audio and the issue appears. It seems to be an issue, at least with me, whenever notification is received and subsequently answered.

Call problem and various bugs

Hello Guys,
I'm having serious problems with my XZP
I bought it on september 2017, for 5 months worked like a charm.
After february 2018 he started to get mad without any reason, i wasn't able to make any call even pressing several time the call button in recent call list, after 40 sec the phone start to call also if was locked in my pocket.
Got slow for no reason during the normal use (switching tabs on chrome, opening apps ecc), and getting hot for no reason.
Checked the background apps and not found one that was using too much battery (I use same apps, i don't download suspicious app from play store/internet).
I performed a system restore by phone settings, all good, but after almost one month i've got the same problems.
I decide to return it back to amazon and take a brand new one.
New one arrived, after 1 month i've got similar problems, but, when I was trying to make a phone call, the phone made no tone, even if someone answered there was no sound on both phones, sometimes also after many attemps or reboots, i had the same problem, when my friend called me back, there was no issues.
During a phone call, if a tone was played (like the one at the supermarket for announcments) the microphone got mute without any reason and without notify on the dispaly, so i had to call back.
During a video, the screen freezed, i thougt that could be normal, but the video was saved with that problem(it's ridiculous that a "super camera phone" freezes for a 30 sec video).
The phone doesn't ring anymore, no notification sound, no system sound until you reboot it.
Now, I repaired the software with xperia companion (uploaded on the phone, clean), and after 20 days, i've just got similar issue: During a phone call, no tone and no voice at the answer.
Problem with audio, during listening to music or watching a video, if i receive a notification, the volume remains low and i have to pause/play to get the audio back.
With whatsapp, when i listen to vocal messages i get the same problem, also if i open the keyboard
I really don't know what i have to do, i cannot reset every month the phone because is buggy.
I wroted also to xperia support, but they suggested me to repair the software... again?
P.S. I use Huawei 2 Smartwatch, could be the source of my problems?
All the calls are intended as normal calls and not Voip
Thanks

its your watch.
I cant determinely speak, but a normal XZP shouldnt act like that, also its been replaced once or twice in your case so it cant be the unit it self its some thing else, try to repair and not use the watch with it and see how it goes.

Hi Mate,
I disconnected the watch while facing the low playback audio, immediately the audio get louder as it should.
The problem is the watch, now i will see if there are other case, if my watch is defective and replace it, or give away.
thanks!
after more than one month using Huawei watch 2 as standalone i didn't faced any problem descrived above...
damn watch.
