who can help me ,my nexus one can not make any sound,
I'm not sure if i can help you.
But I'm pretty sure anyone who does needs a little bit more information.
Is your N1 rooted or not? If yes which Rom do you use?
What happened before it stopped making sounds?
I could imagine that could be usefull for people trying to help.
Make a complete wipe and see if it helps
Hi!
Initially had this issue when I bought my N1 (a store sample) and it re-surfaced a week ago. Now this is from experience only, so I'm not pretending to know whether "your N1 fails to initialize soundboard for reason X"....
Issue that I solved succesfully is this:
I had no sound from the phone speaker (no ringing, no alerts, no music) - and actually all phonecalls were also silent (and ended up rebooting the phone about 15 secs into the call). What's freaky is that I was able to play music, hear alerts, take calls etc. over my headphones!
I was suspecting something to be wrong with the ringtones from the SD card.
So before wiping your phone (even with nandroid recovery it's a b*tch of a job) try this: Reset all alert tones to some default tones (which are in the rom). Turn N1 off, remove SD & sim, then let it reboot. Then power down, insert sim, keep SD out. Reboot. You should get the tones/sounds/in-call audio back after a few tries of these combinations. You can also try unmounting/remounting the card repeatedly. Also, it may help if you have a second SD card ready (empty or without). When you get the sound back, you can again start using your custom tones off the SD card.
(I usually wipe any unused ringtones in the process, and have even removed the tones from my card, and then reinserted them on the SD, which also seems to work after a few power-down/power-up cycles.)
Sorry, it's totally "unscientific" but if you have, say, half an hour to a full hour to spare do the above and your N1 will be back on track.
Pistolero0 is right we could use a little more info. Another thing that I would like to know is can you play sound through the headphone jack or Bluetooth or is it just the phone speaker.
Uh-oh... Just when I answered, I got the same problem again. This time, it's taken me a day to cycle/recycle. I've gotten the sounds back twice, only to lose them due to a random re-boot. I'm still suspecting it's a question of the SD notifications/ringtones messing up something in the system. (Or it's due to a certain app getting installed or uninstalled.)
So, the sound sometimes comes back, sometimes doesn't.
So, I'm also asking for help on this one....
Symptoms
No in-call audio whatsoever
No audio through internal speaker (the ear-speaker)
No audio through the speakerphone-speaker (on the back)
No notification sounds, no alarm sounds, no ringing.
Music cannot play (the track doesn't seem to advance).
All audio works over bluetooth headset - I can hear notifications/ringtones/alarms, screenlock sound, and even music (winamp & stock).
However, I still cannot make a call over BT (I do hear the ringing, but the audio doesn't connect on an incoming call. Outbound calls are completely silent on BT phones as well.
No sound whatsoever over the standard plugin HF-headphones (the ones that came with the N1).
So my plea is also, how do I fix this? (Wiped & Nandroid-backuped once, but the problem resurfaced, so I don't think that's the thing, then).
EDIT: Now trying the passimg method (FRG83-->GRI40-->root-->GRJ22+SU.zip) - I guess I should have done this aways back, (like 3months ago when I got my N1) but didn't.
There we go, froyoed for a while
EDIT: Now trying the passimg method (FRG83/D/G --> GRI40 --> root --> install GRJ22 update + SU.zip via clockwork) — I guess I should have done this aways back, (like 3months ago when I got my N1) but didn't.

What a bummer... Froyo, but NO sound. [O]I guess it is a hardware thing then after all, despite all the evidence I've seen so far?[/O]
RESULTS
Some hours later am now back on rooted stock GRJ22, but still no sounds. This must then be a hardware thing - albeit one that doesn't manifest itself always.
Suspecting something is wrong with the 3,5mm plug? (Or a wire is crossed somewhere, which silences the ear-speaker and speakerphone speaker alike).
Still suffering. Anyone got an idea?
Did anyone get their problem solved?
Well I've never had this problem but can I ask you a question when you flash do you use 3X system wipe and 5X data/cache wipe because I don't really think this is hardware cause or else in theory if it is hardware the problem should stay even after a reflash unless it is consistent with something else (example every time you hit X amount of memory used, every time you hit X amount of run time, etc).
So try the 3X system and 5X data/cache and see what happens.

You mean first do the system + data/cache wipes, then flash?
By system wipe, you mean the usual reset-to-factory status kind of wipe?
And how do you proceed with the data/cache wipe? Like, with Titanium or some other choice?
Sorry for the n00biness, I try not to flash schtuff too often. Anyway, I'm going to try your suggestion out as soon as I can.
Sorry for the late reply I haven't had much free time lately but why I say system wipe I mean either use temasek system wipe (if on Amon RA) or the built in wipe system option in clockwork mod depending on your recovery. And for data/cache that is the factory reset.
Update - One Factory Servicing Later, a fix of sorts
Okay. After two weeks of consternation I walked to the service center.
6 wks later (that would be today) I got my N1 back....
Motherboard had been replaced, rigid flex had been replaced, antenna had been replaced. Warranty repairs on level 1 & level 2 had been done. Anyway, quiiiiite happy now.
And yes, I do have sound. Luckily, I was still within warranty, and will continue to be. Lovely.
(Presently going back the FRG83 - FRG83D - FRG83G - GRI40 (gingerbreak root) - GRJ22 route).

Hi everybody.
I'm having this strange issue since FROYO update (first one that came with radio). Everytime I put a new update (or anything involving going to Recovery), when my phone boots up, I can get no sound during a call (I can't hear and can't be heard also) and more, the proximity sensor is not working either (screen remains lighted when close to ear).
If I put the phone on speaker, I can hear the other and I can be heard. Looks like the upper part of the phone is not working. The only solution I found until now is to turn the phone off, take out the battery for a minute or two and then, when I start the phone, everything is back on its track.
I've tried everything, going back to stock, getting the new (now old) FRF85b signed from Google (with radio in it). I received no errors during updates, I did wipe everthing, but the problem is still there.
Today I've updated to FRF91 and after the phone booted up, same problem.
Could be the radio of FROYO? Anyone else have this issue?
Regards,
Alin.
I'm having this exact same problem and I'm kind of freaking out because I have an unlocks bootloader and no warranty, however this just happened to Me today and I've been on froyo for almost two months
ok so i just solved my problem... by smacking the speaker end of my phone on my hand a few times..
I have no speakerphone sound on my captivate. No 3g noise on boot, no speakerphone, no pandora, youtube, or ringtones... The phone will vibrate, and play music out of the headphone jack, or while in a call, but not in speakerphone.
This started while i was running Cog v5.5, but I did have sound initially in 5.5.
I am now running 8.1 and the same thing is happening.
I posted in that thread and 10+ pages later, didn't get a response.
I'm wondering if there is just a setting I missed, or if i need to do more of a factory reset when i install beta 9 tonight. by more of a factory reset, when i upgraded roms, my internal memory card still had all of its data on it from the previous installation.
Please help
Don't know if you saw my respose in the other thread.
I had this same issue recently. The fix for me was to take the back cover off and gently press the speaker back into the phone. Apparently it was just the slightest bit loose. Hopefully that is all that is wrong for you as well. I too did a system wipe an re-install for this issue, but the speaker being loose was the problem.
tried that, and same thing. If i cant figure it out soon, I may just restore it to stock, and trade it in with att

My first one did this after about 2 weeks. I took it to AT&T and they swapped it out for a brand new one.
I hope thats not the case, but if I have to, it should be pretty easy to get back to stock config
speaker broken
my speaker is also not working properly. Works intermittently, requires lots of real hard pressing down on speaker face to get it to go, etc. it is not loose, so i think this could be something in the software of the phone....I am stock all the way, 2.1 and not updated. I am also beyond 90 days on my phone.....any ideas?

Wow, I had the exact same issue come up, and pressing on the speaker actually fixed it. Three cheers for percussive maintenance.
Hi Everyone,
I've searched through the i9000 section and have not found a solution to my problem.
I have a problem with my rear speaker on my i9000 after flashing to the stock XXJVU 2.3.6 rom using Odin. I have sound through the headphones, and the front speaker but no sound through the rear speaker (i.e. I cannot hear the phone ring).
Prior to the flash I was running a cooked rom (from Rom Kitchen) JS8 (2.2.1) with the speedmod k13c kernel with the lagfix enabled. This was working fine and the speaker was working correctly prior to the flash.
Before I flashed I attempted to disable the lagfix through CWM, however, towards the end of the lagfix the phone got stuck during the testing proportion after converting everything back to RFS. When disabling the lagfix I had forgotten if the /system was converted to ext4, and I did not convert that back to RFS (to my mistake the /system was most likely still ext4), but converted the rest back to RFS.
After a long time I took out the battery and restarted the phone. The phone booted into the rom fine, however, all the settings had been reset (just like when you factory reset the phone). I assume the reason was that it did not restore the backup of my settings when it got stuck during the disabling of the lagfix. I do not remember if I had sound when I booted back into the rom.
I then turned off my phone and flashed the XXJVU stock rom via Odin (pda/modem/csc/pit with re-partition selected), and then cleared all the caches and factory reset before and after installing the Semaphore 2.5.0 kernel. Both of the flashing processes completed without any error. When I did boot into the new rom I realised that I no longer had any sound, however everything else seems to be operating fine.
List of things I have tried to fix this issue:
Factory reset (both through the menus and *2767*3855#)
Wiped and factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache many times
Tested the speaker through *#0673# (Audio Test Mode) and get no sound
Tested the speaker through *#0283# (Audio Loopback Control) and get no sound
Taking the back cover off the phone and pressing the speaker module whilst playing music to see if it was a loose connection
Flashed the firmware back to two stock roms from my carrier (2.2 and 2.3.3 version from Optus) still no sound (everything else worked fine)
Flashed the XWJW1 stock firmware and still no sound
Tried inserting and removing headphone plug into the jack multiple times. In case there was an issue with the phone thinking there were headphones still plugged in.
Turned on "logger" in Semaphore kernel and using alogcat to see if there were any errors related to the rear speaker (nothing I could see)
I am now thinking it could be a hardware issue, however, it just seems too coincidental that the rear speaker breaks whilst I am flashing a new rom on the phone. Might have to open it up and have a look at the speaker module more closely.
Any ideas anyone?
For those who find it tldr
Summary:
Disabled lagfix on 2.2 rom process got stuck and battery had to be removed
Flashed new rom as phone still booted to XXJVU and noticed there was no sound in rear speaker
Tried many things to try to get phone sound working again but have run out of ideas
Thanks everyone!
Outcome:
I have bought a new speaker module and installed it and it WORKS!
Buy a new phone, bro
That is a best ideas ever)

haha I wish I could. Gotta wait for the SGS III to be released
Anyone have any ideas?
same problem
Up, Up
Sounds very intresting.
I got the same problem after flashing Slim ICS 2.8 to 2.9.
Revert back with my Nandroid Backup to 2.8, that i done before flashing ,but still the same, Before everythings worked fine.
I also suspect Free Spirit Fm and the options in audio --> Method --> Galaxy S ALSA/ICS (DANGER) , but this option always wored fine since some month.

Yes it is a very odd problem.
I have yet to open up the phone and check the connection of the rear speaker module. Everything is working fine except the rear speaker.
At least I now know I'm not the only person with this issue. What else have you tried to fix your problem? Tried some of the fixes that I have tried?
this is actually what I've done
revert back to Nandroid backup
Delete cache of some apps like Dsp manager and Spirit FM as i suspect it to broke my Rear Speakers (but maybe nothings releated)
Factory Reset and Wipe Everythings
Change Kernel to Glich V14
Now i also open up the phone and check the connection, everythings seem to be good
I'm now going to buy a new Rear Speaker and try to change it, maybe it's just a coincidence , But very strange .....
Yes, I find it hard to believe that my rear speaker stops working at the exact time that I'm flashing a new rom. I was going to buy a new speaker, but decided that I'll wait until I open it up and have a proper look. Just trying to find some motivation to go and do this, it has been about two weeks of trying and I've almost given up.

Hi m1n1on,
That seems to be very crazy , but i got the speakers today, i place it on my phone and it Works
I start to thinks that it was a pure coincidence !!!
It cost me 7,50 $ shipping include with this seller on ebay -----> easyworldwidetrading and i got also the screwdriver with it. I bought it on 19th and receive it today so it takes 9 days.
Try it and let me know......

Wow awesome!
How is the quality of the speaker compared to the original? I'm debating if I pay more to buy a genuine rear speaker or just get a generic one.
How difficult was it to open up the phone and replace the speaker?
same issue but slightly different
Hey guys, I have the same issue with my i9000 after a fresh wipe and flashing the latest CM9 nightly build as of april 2nd ( update-cm-9-20120402-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd-signed.zip ) and the rear speaker doesn't work for ringing or music playback, but I noticed it works for putting calls on speakerphone -- is this just me? Should I replace the speaker?

If the speaker is working in some cases then you won't be in the same situation as us. Ours didn't work at all, no matter what situation.
Have you tried flashing it back to a stock rom?
edit: stupid question but you have checked the "Sound" settings > "Volume" > "Media volume" and "Incoming call volume"?
Same problem I got today when woke up in the morning, I wonder why didn't alarm ring today. Then I tried flashing ROMs etc etc. watching videos on the youtube, did google and find this post.
I think I will have to buy new speaker.
Any idea?

G'day,
Have you tried the methods I tried in my first post?
Factory reset (both through the menus and *2767*3855#)
Wiped and factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache many times
Tested the speaker through *#0673# (Audio Test Mode) and get no sound

Taking the back cover off the phone and pressing the speaker module whilst playing music to see if it was a loose connection
Flashed the stock firmware.
Tried inserting and removing headphone plug into the jack multiple times. In case there was an issue with the phone thinking there were headphones still plugged in.
I'm still waiting for my replacement speaker in the post. I will update if this fixes the issue.
Good luck!
Do you get ANY sound from the rear-speaker? I have a similar issue (loss of audio after flashing new ROM) but it is the handset speaker. After some troubleshooting, I found that there it was still working but was ULTRA low volume. With a number of tweaks, you can just hear calls if the other person is yelling. With headphones/rear-speaker, very thing is fine.
My next troubleshooting step is to find a way to repartition the phone and reflash a stock ROM. That's about all I have left as I have tried all other options.
Zimzum
Just an update people.
Just installed the replacement speaker module... and it..... WORKS!!
flash an official ROM using Odin
I need some help here. My i9000 seems to work through the rear speaker ONLY??? During hands free calls the thing is MUCH louder when turned around and listening from the rear. All ringing, alarms, etc. seem to emanate from the rear speaker. Is it difficult to replace the front speaker? I have cm9 Nightlies flashed (up to date). It's been like this for a few months already.
Hi everyone,
I've got an i9000m that isn't making any sounds. From the boot screen to playing music, I get nothing. The phone rings normally except that it doesn't ring - the screen changes and I can answer, but I don't hear anything. YouTube videos also load but don't play - no video and no sound. I've tried doing stuff using all three speakers (headphones/phone/external speaker) and get absolutely nothing. I've flashed every rom from here to eternity and get nothing. Reboots and wipe, nothing.
Help?
If you have tried full wipe and also flashing another ROM, it must be a hardware problem. If it's under warranty, go to service.
No, no warranty. I guess I'll bust the phone open and start cleaning connections and whatnot. Kinda figured that's what I'd end up having to do

you can try flash a PIT file without Repartition, to wipe out any settings...just a long shot..in case some sort of settings is causing the problem and you may need to use the i9000 technician service manual to check and sort hardware problems . download from My android collections link below
Reflashing without partition didn't change anything.
I'm not convinced it's hardware failure yet. I cannot play youtube clips - there's no video and no sound (but if I skip to a random point in the clip I get a picture of whatever's there on the screen). I also don't get any sound when connected through bluetooth.
Hey everyone, I decided against my better judgment to Root and ROM my HTC One. Through my trials of every currently available ROM on this forum, I'm pretty pleased with ViperRom, as it seems to be the only stable alternative to stock.
The problem I'm facing, however, is that somewhere between this morning and now, my speakers stopped working. The issue started after I got myself caught in a nasty boot loop that took the better part of 2 hours to get out of. Regardless of which ROM I'm using, I get no sound. I realize of course that there are three separate volumes for ringtones, media, and alarms. Despite turning all three to the max and ensuring I'm not in silent mode, I can't elicit any sort of audible response from my One. Even with headphones plugged in, I still get nothing. I know the speakers work, because I'm able to make calls on ViperROM, and the speaker works fine. (On CM10.1 and AOPK, I experienced the pesky calling issue where there's just silence). But other than phone calls, I get absolutely no sound, regardless of which ROM I'm using. Worth mentioning - vibration works just fine.
I'm using TWRP 2.5, and I've tried wiping caches/data dozens of times, as well as formatting the whole file system and starting fresh. I used CWM this morning, and upgrading to the most recent version (yesterday's release) is what I believe sent me into the boot loop. I've also tried the RUU approach to no avail - even in stock form, the speakers aren't working.
The only thing I can think of, is that there must be some part of the file system that contains bad config files, but is outside of the reach of the recovery's wipe and format features. In fact, using the format feature only clears the "sdcard" directory, leaving the parent folder and the rest of its contents untouched. Is there a way to clear that folder as well?
Anyways, sorry for the novelette. I'm open to any suggestions you guys might have. In the meantime, I'll have to use my One on vibe and forgo any sort of media entertainment
Thanks for your input.
I actually had an issue similar to this on my EVO 4G LTE except regarding the camera. Worked fine, flashed a ROM, no camera. Nothing worked, even having it replaced. I'd go ahead and have Sprint take a look at it. Erase all traces of your root and tell them it just stopped working.
This is certainly an option, but even in fully stock mode, the bootloader displays "Relocked", so I'm not going to be able to hide my tampering. I really don't think it's a hardware fault though... Surely it's due to something quirky on the root filesystem.
Relock the bootloader, and flash the RUU. The phone will be stock with no "tampering" messages.
