Hi All,
When i take video with my omnia 7, it tapes without any sound. Has anyone come across this problem.
Thanks
I've come across this problem myself. I was at Soundwave back in February and half my videos had no sound, but some DID. I couldn't explain it. So I tried to experiment with it at home and found that the videos had audio each time. Thinking it was just some sort of weird one off thing, I went and used to phone to record a video at Future Music. Again, some of the videos had audio, some didn't.
I thought maybe the problem was that the audio at the concert was too loud and the noise cancellation mic was thinking EVERYTHING was noise, so it was cancelling everything, so I tried experimenting with the video for a couple of days after that. Again, some had audio, but some didn't this time, even when the volume levels of the ambient noise was very quiet.
So, after looking into it some more, I read one theory that it has something to do with a bug in how the Omnia 7 disables the speaker when something is plugged in (possibly into the head phone jack? I don't remember). I haven't really been able to find confirmation of this, but I'm hoping that after updating the phone, the problem has gone away.
I'll come back and post my experience when I know for sure
Thanks Deemar,
I have exact same problem, however I have only ever had one recording that actually recorded sound as well.
All the others have no sound
anyone????
same problem too :/ but i noticed the mic stopped working in other apps too such as shazam - it seems to do this from time to time randomly! very weird and annoying! havent noticed since nodo thought?
I haven't had the opportunity to experiment much since NoDo. But the videos I HAVE recorded since then (a grand total of two) have had audio. Knock wood, the problem might be solved...
Searched and couldn't find much, so don't get up at me
Anyway I got my Nexus 7 about 2 days ago and I noticed today when I was using it to play music (I had it plugged into my speakers) that when the song finished and nothing was playing there was this weird crackling/popping noise coming from the speakers (it was spasmodic, every few seconds to every 20 seconds). I tried it with earphones tonight and it does it too! It's not just the app (Google Play Music) it's also when I'm just casually going round the settings etc.
Is this normal?
Should I get it repaired?
Thanks
Bump!
Does it do it if you turn off the Wi-Fi?
I have quite a few devices with this. I think it's just the way the headphone jack is manufactured.
My Nokia Lumia does that, as does my HTC Amaze, yet my Samsung Infuse doesn't do it nor my iPhone.
I think it's just a random occurrence, and I wouldn't worry about it.
I think it's cheap shielding. My cheapo phones and cheapo mp3 players do it too.
Lots of android devices suffer from this including my galaxy S3, google really need to deal with this long standing issue!!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307
It must be a poorly designed jack. My nexus does the same, but if I push the plug into the hole, the noise stops. When I stop pushing it, the noise is heard again. It sounds like a cpu or system bus sound, since it responds to activity. Poor grounding must be the cause of it. Totally unacceptable for any device, even more so for one of this class!
Just came across a disturbing report in a very recent Droid Life review of the Note 3 (from a list of N3 reviews posted on this forum) concerning "Audio Jack Issues". Anybody who treasures their hearing and uses their phablet for audio material (including movies, music, audiobooks, etc), especially using earbuds or headphones, might want to "listen up." The following is an excerpt from the review:
"...When listening to music through the 3.5mm jack, you are sometimes met with a very weak sound. It’s as if the sound of the music isn’t “full” or quite loud enough. Then, after a few minutes without touching anything while at full volume, the volume just explodes and you are left deafened by the surprise volume attack. Some people are pointing towards low-impedance headphones being the issue, but I have had the problem on multiple pairs of headphones, in-ear buds, through car decks, and everything else. It’s a very frustrating and reoccurring issue that I wish Samsung would find a cure for. Until then, I fear listening to music out of this device because I don’t want to go deaf. It might sound crazy, but it’s a very real issue that I experienced over the course of time I had the device."
I've had 3 Samsungs: a flip-phone a few years ago, a Fascinate 2 years ago, and currently Galaxy S3, and just preordered a Note 3. Of the three previous phones, two had infrequent but definitely-occurring audio issues where the volume changed unexpectedly. The flip phone blew out my ears once, and swore after that would never buy another Sammy (what a kidding-myself that turned out to be). What's unnerving is this seems to have appeared intermittently in multiple samsung phone models (the article reports yet another audio jack issue in the S4).
Chatted online with a VZW customer service rep. about this, who was really no help (wasn't her fault, i guess). She just regurgitated the company standard lines--14 days to return, restocking fee, can get a replacement if the problem occurs, etc. But she pretty much stated if there turns out to be a Note 3-specific issue, the customer is stuck with that model of phone; don't expect help from the carrier other than replacing with an identical unit might likely have the same problem; if you enjoy any kind of audio produced by the phone's audio jack, use it at your own risk. (Even more dicey is that it's intermittent--no guarantee you'll be able to demonstrate it to the carrier's service rep.)
Furthermore, i was one of those who got a free continuation of unlimited plan (thanks to the VZW ordering "system glitch" last weekend), which has been reported in the last day that VZW is going to honor contracts which show unlimited data. This rep completely contradicted that and claimed my data will be capped at 2gb at activation time. So with this diametrically-opposed chatter from VZW, what is one supposed to believe? Really suggests getting a satisfactory resolution from any carrier on a brand-specific phone problem like this to be wishful thinking.
Any thoughts or has anybody experienced thru-the-audio-jack sound issues with sammy phone products? My take is i'm not going to be on the bleeding edge of this one, too much of a hearing risk, cancelling preorder and wait for more reports on the N3 as time goes by.
For sure something is wrong with mine. (tmobile N3) The output levels are maybe half or less what my N2 can put out. I have carefully setup audio systems in my house and car, and it is unusable. Its also not USB compatible with the new Kenwood KMM 100u deck that plays FLAC files. It must be a glitch they can fix, i hope! The jack SQ sucks right now.
I hope mine won't have this problem.

I got that the first time you said it.
im experiencing this too with an AU Telstra Note 3.
ive tested it a bit and it seems like its 2 separate things to me, but I could be wrong.
firstly it seems like all EQs either crash or just lose their settings at random moments. this can be things like between track changes or when the 3G signal drops out. if you go back into the EQ panel it will kick in again, almost like it was off and you've launched it again.. very annoying. ive verified this with both the stock EQ and noozxoide. the difference in volume is minimal though, its more quality / bass / whatever EQ you use.
the second part with the volume dropping out completely only happens to me between track changes. if i pause the music for a couple of seconds then play it again, it will play at normal volume. fast forwarding between tracks is the most obvious since every other track will be minimal volume, and the ones in-between normal volume.
ive only tested this with google music. although my phone isnt stock now, the same behaviour was there out of the box. using etymotic earbuds with reasonably high impedance but i doubt thats the issue since pause/replay fixes it.
Doesn't happen to me on N7player or PlayerPro. (nor on videos in Dice, MX or VLC.)
Try not using stock apps if you have the issue. Might just be a stock problem.
I can't test Google music, I disabled that. Stock player itself is too annoying for me to try.

Got the same here. N9005 with Google Play Music. Sometimes it's also (it seems) input-triggered. Sometimes when I push Menu or Back button, volume goes down and when I open Browser volume goes up. I know this sounds like voodoo and I'm completely crazy but I got this situation some times now.
With original sound files this problem came very often but after installing sound mod, it became seldom but not solved.
Annoying!

I actually moved to the stock sammy app since it was irritating me so much. i have to say though, that if you can be bothered syncing a playlist to your phone that the sound is much better through that... hard to pick fault with.
i set up galaxy adaptive sound first, which is the one that plays high med low tones through left and right channels on your headphones independently and lets you tune it. found a much more balanced tone coming out after that, to which I then applied higher bass EQ settings from within the sammy music player and it sounds pretty good. some distortion on really heavy bass tracks at high volume, but very nice otherwise. MUCH BETTER than variable bass and audio volume on the google music player.
i think samsung neglected to test the standard music APIs and borked them, but their own proprietary ones work fine. the adaptive music filter doesnt work in any player apart from the sammy one I read.
since i cant cross-flash regional roms without voiding knox warranty i havent tried the updated EU roms, but maybe they fix it there?
Experiencing same problem on my AT&T note 3. Google Music tracks will randomly apply a shoddy EQ setting that is either too loud or too soft. Then the next track will be normal. It explodes my ear drums constantly. I have the EQ set off also, but that doesn't seem to matter. Also unplugging and re plugging the headphone jack "fixes" the issue as well. I'm pretty annoyed by this problem.
Hi All.
Have not posted on here in a LONG WHILE, but here goes:
Recently I got my hands on a Note 4 (SM-N910S) (its one of those Korean models that have LTE-A X3)
and when I first got my hands on it it was fine and all, but after a while, whatever earphone I plugged in, it sounded weird, and the only solution was to bias the sound to the left (in PowerAmp, my music app of choice) which somehow centered the sound but it sounded like it was on Mono the whole time as I could not hear the whole range of speakers being used.
Last week I dropped by a repair center and asked for a jack replacement, they charged me 10$ for the part and about 20$ for the labor (I was busy so I said hell with it). After I received it back, There is still a problem
Now what happens is the sound appears to be very muddy, and if, for example I was listening to something with a large variety of sound, like heavy metal or EDM, it sounds really drowned and far away, and the bass seems non-existent at all, and the speakers which seem like they are there for bass and/or sound directed to sort of rear-way are not working at all, and the treble side of things seem very harsh. When I bias the sound to the left now, what happens is the volume seems to decrease!
So before I spend any money on this thing, I want to know if you guys think I still need the jack replaced (this time by me maybe) or if something else is wrong, because I use this phone heavily for music (nearly 30gb worth loaded on it, used very heavily, on the daily) as well as for entertainment purposes, so it is very important to me I get this thing on track.
Any advice is welcome, as I am also quite desperate to solve this issue.
Oh, and the phone is pretty much brand new, got it on christmas/januaryish, and has never been damaged or used hardly, its only been rooted, and is currently on 5.1.1
IF I did post this to the wrong section, mods I am sorry, please feel free to move it.
Thanks in advance to any help. :good:
Have you tried adjusting the sound settings on the music player app? Does this happen with other headsets?

Yes I have, as I said, ive tried multiple headsets, and ive tried all the settings and multiple apps. I can tell it is a hardware problem since when I send the sound to the left earphone, it only lowers the volume, but the sound doesn't move/bias.
Why not try a pair of bluetooth headphones. It will establish if there are problems with the sound DAC of the board or if it is a hardware fault pertaining to the headphone jack connectors. If its the sound DCA it might also go away with a reflash of the factory image through Odin.
Is anyone else having problem with the sound cutting out for a split second at least once per song? I am having this problem whether it's Poweramp, Spotify, of playing a music video. It seems worse when using the phone or right now while copying files to the SD card from the computer. Last time i had audio cutting out or glitching on a phone was the POS Motorola Razer HD I had. It was horrible.
anyone else having this problem? it's driving me crazy. The sound cuts out for a split second for every song and sometimes multiple times in one song. it's doing it a bunch for each song at the moment. I rebooted the phone but no change. It's pretty disappointing. I passed up LG for the last few years because of quality control issues and I hoped this time they would have a good phone.
Is your music on a memory card?

Yes. Same card I used on my GS7 with no problems. But it does it on spotify too and that's streaming.

still having problems with the sound cutting out. I counted 5 times on one song and 2 times on the next song. Not to mention all the other songs it does this. I guess I'm going to have to call Verizon tomorrow. I was hoping someone on here had some insight or know of a software update that might fix it. I don't know if a replacement would fix it or if i need to exchange for a different model. Does anyone else have problems or is it working fine with Spotify or Poweramp etc? Oh the next song just started and about 30 seconds in it did it again. ugh!!! It makes my skin crawl it irritates me. And it just did it again as I'm typing. argh!!!!
Same thing happens on my end, using Spotify (Internal storage or SD card do the same thing, tried both). This happens to me streaming via Bluetooth to my Pioneer head unit in my car, every 2-3 songs I will get a 0.5-1second mute and then it resumes playing as normal.

I've had it happen either wired or bluetooth. This is troubling not knowing if it's software or hardware problems and if LG is going to have a fix anytime soon.
Ughhhhhhhhhh I'm having the same issue! It was especially bad when I first set up the phone brand new out of the box. It got to the point that I did a factory reset. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem and my audio still cuts out exactly like you said -- for about a second at a time. My songs are also on my SD card but it also happens when I stream from Google Play Music. I'm glad it's not just me, but LG better address this.
getting this as well
I only stream from Google play music. Doesn't matter if I choose high quality or normal, I get fairly regular popping/crackling and occasional glitches. I installed the snapdragon audio+, didn't help.
Haven't heard it cut out, but am hearing some kind of... I don't know..... feedback when it's turned up. Trying to pay more attention to see if I can isolate / identify it.
I've had this issue with every LG. I know a lot of people say that as if they've had LG but just over exaggerating but I really have had every flagship LG since the Optimus G. It never mattered if it was plugged in or Bluetooth. I noticed it more with my car stereo. I always just assumed I had a faulty stereo. Till I had a friend start using their S7 in my car and they didn't have this issue. Took me awhile to realize it wasn't happening on their phone. So that ruled out a faulty stereo. I'm just happy someone else also has the issue and it's not just me.
Anyway, LG will not be fixing this issue anytime soon.

G4

V20

I listen to a lot of music everyday and I haven't had this problem. I listen to music on SD card, Pandora, DoubleTwist Cloud player, wired headphones and bluetooth. I wonder if it's some other app causing it. On bluetooth the music stops playing when i get text or email so maybe another app is somehow cutting the sound or something. I don't know, very strange.

That's a shame that LG won't fix the problem. So what exactly is causing the audio problems with players like Poweramp and Player Pro? I installed the Poweramp V3 alpha and it doesn't have the problem. I tried PlayerPro and it has the problem. Really sucks a high end phone can't play high end audio apps. the verizon guy at the store i went to and exchanged my phone over this issue told me the maybe poweramp runs too fast for the phone. or it's my memory card. but how can poweramp run too fast for the phone it's a high end phone for petes sakes. and the new phone was the same with the issue.
From what I've gathered over the years of researching this issue is that the audio codec that LG uses and has used for most their phones may be the root cause. That an update could fix it but it doesn't seem to be on LGs priority list. This issue is also very hard to find. This is literally the only article that discusses it with as much detail as everyone has provided. Everything else I find ends with a deadend after one post. As if nobody else notices or cares.
There has got to be a place we can let them know and with enough people maybe they will finally do something about it.

It's a shame this topic runs into dead ends. With the popularity of Poweramp and PlayerPro i'm surprised more people aren't complaining and discussing it. unless people are doing mostly streaming. I know very little people that have mp3's these days. I don't know anyone that even knows Poweramp. even the tech support over the phone or the guy in the store never heard of it. and when i had problems in the past with a old motorola razr HD the tech support blamed poweramp saying that the phone must not support it.
I forgot to mention two weeks ago the when playing music with Poweramp the left channel started cutting out off and on for 10 mins then eventually going out altogether till i unplugged the headphones and plugged back in. only did it that one occasion till today. now i'm driving out of town and it's not ideal to keep unplugging the aux cable while driving on the highway. The left channel kept going off again. I tried both PlayerPro and Poweramp. eventually it stopped on it's own. anyone else having this awful problem? I"m not buying LG again. they can't their quality control straight for nothing. so much for giving them a try.
What music players do you guys use for the LG G6 that doesn't have the audio cutting out or skipping that is comparable to Poweramp? I was considering Player Pro but it has the same problem. i tried JetAudio Music Player but the highs sound muffled without one of the audio enhancers you have to pay extra for. I don't like the idea of buying an app and then having to pay extra for other features when other apps have it included for free.

I'm still having this problem with the audio cutting out completely on the left channel from the headphone jack. it only did it on one occasion with my headphones. But it happens almost every time i use it with my car stereo or in someone else's car on his stereo. so i know it isn't my aux cable or my stereo. i never had this problem before. i am disappointed with LG and they're hopeless for giving us an update for all these problems. I can't wait to switch to something else but i have to wait at least a year to be able to trade in my phone for another on Verizon Edge.
Also still having the problems with the audio cutting out for a split second with PlayerPro. with the PowerAmp 3 alpha 704 i got the settings tweaked and i don't notice the problem anymore. But still have the headphone jack/aux cable sound issue. is there any tweak that could possibly fix it? is the DAC getting overloaded causing the left channel to quit working?
No issues at all here. Had no issues with my V10 either for what its worth. Streaming Spotify and Tidal all the time. Sound has not clipped one single time.
Only time I see this issue is when I'm connected to multiple Bluetooth devices and one of them disconnects.
