For some odd reason, my wife's phone will randomly lose sound output and input.
For instance, cannot make calls because no sound is heard through speaker and it seems the mic becomes non-functioning, therefore the person on the other line hears nothing.
I've noticed at the same time that no other sounds (system, media, key presses, etc.) can be heard as well.
If the phone is rebooted the problem is fixed. This problem occurs usually once or twice a day. Its running a nearly stock 2.1 w/ root (although no root apps used or installed), I have also tried a different custom rom and have the same issue.
Any ideas? (I have searched and read up on some things, but did not see a definitive answer)
** Working on a fix now **
DrewX2, I'm having the same exact problem. Thought I was crazy! So I have the Damageless 2.08.1 (Android 2.1) ROM installed, and I thought I was being punished for not using Sprint's official ROM image . But you say that your wife's phone exhibited this behavior in more than one setup? What do you mean by "nearly stock"? Maybe someone out there knows of a way to look or download the internal error logs on the Android platform so we can at least get some stack trace info? Thanks!
Here guys, try this thread.

This is the exact fix I installed. So far no problems, will report back in a day or two.
Also, for the earlier question, when I said nearly stock, I should have said I am using nfinitefx45's Stock Sprint Deoxed ROM.
Dear all,
I noticed my phone has an issue and I think this may not be rom / kernel related, so I would like to ask here.
My phone is running fine every time after booting up, however after running for a random period of times (say 2 - 7 days), it cannot play any media files. I can't play youtube (it said the video cannot be played), can't listen to mp3 (music player reported unsupported codec), ringtone disappeared (phone don't ring if i get call) and other apps failed in similar way. A reboot can solve the issue.
It is a bit annoying (especially when you when to play something and you suddenly identified that you need to wait for 5 min for a reboot), does any one experienced similar issue?
To clarify , I am running darky rom with darky kernel 1.0, however I had this issue for a few months, I was using super optimized kernel and had the same issue as well.
Same here. i'm running Darky's 9.4 but I don't know if it is related to this rom.
I don't remember that I had this problem before.

I have this problem.
(dark kernel 1.4 and darky rom 9.5)
I get this occasionally and I'm on stock 2.2.1. It's a massive pain in the arse. I thought maybe it was something to do with my external micro sd card but I formatted it and waited hours to copy all my music to it again and I'm still having problems.

So quite a few of people having this problem. Did anyone of us find out the root cause? And what's the reason that others do not suffer from this? This happened on Darky, Super Optimized Kernel, Speedmod, Stock Rom...
Some experts can help?
Also know this problem. Had it on stock and some custom roms too. Tried nearly every kernel ever available for our phone but didnt help. so it really maybe some strange Hardware issue...just speculating but when did you guys get your galaxy? cause mine was one of the `first generation` got it immediately when it was available here in germany in june/july 2010...perhaps this got fixed by Samsung later on

I've seen another thread were someone said it was called by the twitter client. They have updated the official twitter client recently, and I've not had the problem occur since. Although, it may be too soon to tell, it used to happen to me very regularly.
And just to followup, the problem hasn't gone away with the new version of twitter.
So, I'm not sure of what is the cause (or solution) to the issue.

Nope, i though you are talking the twitter update around 1 week ago. I just found that twitter have a new update today and never tried it if it fixed the problem. The change description do mention something similar, fixed a bug to skip music player while updating.. not sure if this is really the case.... need to test now...
good topic
I'm going to get rid of the twitter app then to see if it helps as updates don't seem to have done anything and I reformatted the sd card again and stuck everything back on there today and not only did it happen again, it's getting worse! Not only could I not play any music a minute ago, a load of my apps had vanished too! I assume ones that installed to SD by default rather than the phone storage.
If this sorts it out I'll be very happy. Twitter's crap anyway.
I've been having the same problem for a while now. I have just uninstalled Twitter and will see if that helps.
Basically all media stops working. Can't even record anything with the camcorder app. Nothing plays back. No youtube, no camcorder videos, no nothing. BUT arcmedia will open some videos sometime. HMMM weird, because other video player apps don't seem to be able to play them.
I'll give an update later today if it works. Videos normally stop working after only a few hours on my phone.

Do you guys have 8GB or 16GB models?
I've only come across this once and it was on a stock 16GB, one of the early ones, started about a week ago...upgraded to JVB seems to have solved it for now, time will tell.
16gb model, I've had 3 updates, and none have fixed the problem.

Wonder if it's just the 16GB?
I'm listening to a podcast with headphones plugged in.
My issue is all notifications still use the handset speaker and not the headphones so if the handset is in my pocket I dont hear them but the silly thing is the podcast audio dips.
Is this a setting on the handset or an issue with the app its self?
Rick.

Seriously, No one else had this?
When I have earphones plugged in, notifcations always come through the earphones. This is with every app I've had come through so far. So, maybe it's an app thing? Have you looked in Sound settings for anything?
You on stock GB or ICS?
Im still on GB.
I wanted to know if it was a Note thing or a my settings thing.
If yours work normally then I'll have a look at is it just my pod cast app that has this affect or do others.
Thanks for your input.

Nope it does it in my music app as well.
Off for a dig in the settings...

And you said ALL notification sounds come through the handset speaker, not just a few, right? That's got to be a global setting. I would try to help you go through the settings and check everything, but I am on ICS Stunner now.
Are you comfortable rooting and flashing an ICS rom on your phone or do you want to stay official and on GB? I was going to say if you can not figure it out (and no one with a GB rom can help either), maybe try it on ICS just to see if it was an operating system thing. But, I don't think it is.
Sorry I can't help much more!
You have helped loads by confirming its not a bug on all devices.
Samsung team have asked me to plug in and ensure my device has the latest firmware / software.
As for root.... I rooted my HTC Desire and regretted it, and ok the Note is a completely different device but I'm kind of holding out for official ICS before I make my mind up.

It happens a couple seconds after sound stops being emitted. I think it's the sound of the speakers being turned off. I had the same exact issue with my gnex but I'm pretty sure that it happened to most if not all gnex users.
Nothing like this happened until I updated my firmware to install a GPE 4.3 rom. I guess it could be the rom itself and not the firmware, but I've tried a couple different gpe roms.
I've ran both sense and aosp-based roms before this without said problem.
I've read that some people have had this issue since they bought their phones and it's a hardware defect. Since mine happened recently I feel like it's a different problem.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure you hadn't this problem since the first day? My speakers (and I asked three different people and they confirmed it) are popping from the beginning at the end of a sound, though the quality itself is very good. My HTC Desire and the HTC One X+ from my boyfriend are making the same noises, although they're not as loud as the One, because there's only one speaker on the back of the phone.
If it occurs now and never before there is hope that it'll be a software issue

I've actually noticed the exact same thing and it certainly started after updating my firmware to the latest Base 3.09. I had never noticed it before that. The weird thing is that it'll happen when my phone is on vibrate. And I think (not 100% sure) that it happened more than once when I navigated away from the text messaging app.
It's something I can live with but at least I'm not alone. I thought it may have been from installing the Noozxoide EIZO-rewire E application. I have since uninstalled it but who knows if it left any kind of remnants. I really won't know until I re-flash my Viper ROM and start from scratch.
I had a very strange issue with my earphones today noon, all of a sudden it stopped working can't hear anything through it, but Loudspeaker is working fine for both incoming and out going calls.
I tried all the solutions posted on the Motorola thread and XDA still no luck, I am running Paranoid android 5.1.1 version. I have a stock ROM backup in my twrp as I am out of town and no WiFi around me I don't feel like restoring back to it.
Does anyone running custom ROM faced the same issue? What was the work around?
device hasn't fallen from me not a single time through out last 4 months of using it. I have seen posts on similar issue for stock 5.1 noting for custom ROMs.
Tried restart, clearing cache and cleaning the headphone Jack no luck so far.
Solution mentioned to turn off hearing aid is not present in the dialer app of PA.
Help needed here plz.
