[Q] Loose volume key - Galaxy S I9000 General

y all.
I've tried to search from internet if somebody has the same problem as I do with my Galaxy S but I could not find anything. When i shake the phone, i can hear the clicking sound coming from the volume keys.
Has anyone else had any build quality problem or am I just unlucky?

Theres a thread in q&a about creaks rattles and build qualify, its real cutting edge stuff!

It's really annoying. Especially when somebody is calling you and the phone starts vibrating. It sounds like a damn old Nokia.
I have the same problem.

Strange click sound ... !!?

yep - does not sound like anything undesirable tho
Me too...bit of a loose case, I guess. Certainly nothing to worry about, just don't push too hard!
so this is a manufacture issue...
cool i just want to make sure of it because i paid lot of money.
so is it repairable? or not?!!

Ermm, I seem to be the exception to the rule today. I don't hear any sound, its rock solid. I even lifted up the screen and pressed on the area just a little beyond the "enter" button. I could not hear anythin until I brought it closeeee to my ear and even then it was barely audible!
Could you more specific which area u are referring to?

My Wizard Snaps At Me!

Just recently my wizard makes a loud sound when I tap on an option in the page menu, or whatever. The sound is so loud and it comes unexpectedly makes me jump out of my boots! Does anyone know what causes this and have experienced the same thing?

This and the fact that you have hardware clicks turned on in sound settings.

Nope, the volume was 1 notch below the center. This was the 1st thing I looked at after it happened. I guess I'm the only 1 it's happened to.
This actually happened to me a few times when i was on WM5, since i have switched to WM6 i haven't ever had this again. So i assume it is a rom glitch.

Has anybody yet figured out how to disable the startup "buzz?"

I don't like how it buzzes every time I start or restart the phone.
Is there a way to disable this?
Thanks.
I'm sure it's possible, it starts right when the splash comes up. But why does it matter? Is it worth modifying the recovery to stop less than a second of vibration...its not like it's going to eat your battery.

Probably because it's noisy. There are some times when you might want to startup or restart your phone and not make any noise. If this was a Nokia, where the vibrate only vibrates and doesn't make a rattling noise, it wouldn't be an issue.

Think of it as part of the system Power On Self Test, that validates all the basic hardware is functioning...like that little beep when you turn on your computer, GASP our phones are 1ghz computers!!!!

Yes, that is why.
Mine doesn't rattle. Are nokia's vibrators something special?

Put your phone down on something soft like a towel. Make it vibrate. Can you hear it? That's a rattle. A phone should not make noise when it is vibrating.

Isn't the definition of sound "vibrations in the atmosphere"?
When I'm cooking a ROM and flash it the first time, that is my sigh of relief that the phones going to boot. That and when the light dims.

Galaxy phone reception is bad for me :( :(

Hello everyone i have had my galaxy for awhile now and i dont know why i never posted this but phone reception is very bad. When someone calls me or i call someone i can hardly hear them, this is with the volume turned up to max.....is there a volume hack or something to turn up volume on inner calls past the max ?....anything at all would be helpful.
There is a way to turn up your volume but you'd have to do it every time you reboot your phone, just search the forums for it. I never had a problem with my galaxy s phones gt-i9000m and I had two of them. Maybe your phone is defective and you can exchange it?

are you sure you are putting the earpiece where it's supposed to go?
if you have it higher, you wont hear it, if you have it lower you wont hear it
it has to be exactly facing your inner drums
it's the same with all other phones i've had in the past
have you tried Bluetooth? perhaps that will work better for you?
my SGS sounds loud and clear, and i got bad hearing
Same problem with mine. I find it has something to do with the signal though. When I call OCTranspo or my voicemail or something it's loud and clear, but when I speak to people it always sounds like they're whispering.
hmm it seems fine right now....i really hope it was cause i was in a dead spot or low signal reception when i was on the phone....i will monitor the phone for the next few days and post here if i fall into this problem again thanks for the help guys!...oh and Gamer ill look into that bluetooth headset maybe.
the first 2 are recorded messages, so the audio quality is expected to be the same all the time
those are very good point of reference
that means whatever it is the problem is not the phone earpiece, but the people talking on their end
otherwise you'll be hearing whisper like sound from the voice recorded systems

[Q] Having problems on call volume on the other side of the call

Hi, does anyone have same problem as I? Almost everyone I call is telling me they can hear me very low. I can hear them perfectly and all of the rest regarding sound volume is perfect.

Check to see if you have any gunk in the mic hole. I highly doubt that your mic is the issue.

I've got exactly the same problem. The phone is brand new, the mic hole is not blocked at all. I dont want to send it to service beacause it takes like 2 weeks to get it solved. Are there any service codes for sm-g900f to solve such issues? Any suggestions?

it happens to me sometimes. I am not sure if it is a fault in the handset or something else. normally it works fine, but yes I started getting complaints that my voice is far away after buying the S5 (happened to me 3 or 4 times within one month)

Try turning off Noise Reduction in the dialer settings menu. This will cause this type of problem for some people. The other TW builds that have it, also have a touchscreen button so it can be easily disabled while in-call but ours is buried in the menu.

Good deal.
I used to have a lot of problems with that feature on my Galaxy SIII.
But it didn't seem to affect everyone.

It has not solved mine, though. I noticed that if there is an app running in the bacground it worsens the case. Do not know why. Perhaps I will debrand my phone and change it to xeo.
