So i've had this glitch for around a few years now, and i'm going in on this glitch that ruins smartphone experience.
What is it?
It's a sound glitch. What it does is makes Android smartphones play distorted / compressed audio through the speakers or through headphones. So far from numerous testing i've done i can tell that the glitch has ~3-4 levels of distortion, and the triggers randomly throw the glitch around between them.
What does it do?
The audio quality massively degrades to point where it feels like listening to one of those facebook memes that are reuploaded 60000 times. Granted not ALL of the audio gets changed, just most frequencies. Some sounds get completely unchanged, and the distortion seems to go up going from low to high frequencies of sounds, sometimes even changing how music sounds to point of bare recognition (at max).
How does it trigger?
The triggers that i could find are phone calls and messages. Messages must be the ones of the sim card and not an internet messaging app (BUT if Messenger is set to work as core messaging app its messages WILL trigger the glitch)
Fixes?
Restarting the phone does nothing. Unplugging headphones does nothing. Switching apps does nothing.
"It's just your phone"
This has persisted to me through 3 phones: Sony Xperia Z2 / Samsung Galaxy S4 / Samsung Galaxy S8.
Each one had different OS versions. Can this really be a coincidence by hardware fault, by 3 different companies and different generation phones?
"It's your headphones"
This has also persisted to me through different brand headphones (Philips, Sony, Sol Republic).
P.S.
I have a suspicion this just might be with YouTube app, but it's really really hard to tell because things already sound different between YouTube / innate players / Spotify etc. (the differences are very small but everything counts with this). I'm sorry i cannot be more specific.
I know that a mere post like this won't gather much attention for this glitch but i really, really hope they finally notice this and fix it
