I have the same problem, although i didn't upgrade to ICS and still running the original Gingerbread as bought.
I wish someone has a solution for this problem .

Have you tried to factory reset it?

Thank you "jonpaslim" for your prompt reply.
Actually I didn't.
Because I'm worry about getting bricked by factory reset.
And also I'm not sure that I can do it the right way.

If your running in gingerbread it will not brick your phone. Im directing this answer to you when you said that you are still in gingerbread. If your on ics yes it will. Im sorry i have to be spicific next time.

Im glad to help you. Thank you also.

this problem is called kernel wake lock.. you must downgrade to gb, do a full wipe then install a fresh ics via kies or odin, after booting up in ics go into your recovery mode holding volume up + home button + power key and clear your cache 4 time in a row this will solve your issue and maybe increase your battery life if you having any problem on ics related to battery backup

Flash back to stock using Odin one click then matser clear through Odin. After your phone reboots go into setting and perform a factory reset Setting/Privacy/Factory data reset. After that flash to your favorite ROM and see if you have sound again. This meathod worked for me when I had the no sound issue. Don't forget th Jh7 update through Kies mini.

Run a search in the captivate forums for unregistered device. I remember reading a fix for that, just don't remember which sub forum it's in.
It didn't solve the problem.
BTW, I didn't mean the "receiver" where u can hear calls...
I meant the loudspeaker !
I figured out what the problem is !
have u ever found ur coke can stuck at the machine ! what is the last solution ?!
kicking it ... real hard, huh ? ... that's exactly what I've done
I started shacking the phone .. hitting it with onto my palm... TADA .. melodies start flaying
thnx for ur suggestions tho

Huh. I guess it was a hardware defect. I'd be sending that sucker back to samsung for an exchange.

lololol IT WORKED ! Thanks.. shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your cappy
Yes there was a technician that posted the fix in a thread I was reading. He said to take the battery out and "thump" the area under the battery with your finger. Insta-fix, lol.
HAHAHA This is too funny! I actually had the same thing happen to my cappy!! I as I am sure everyone else on this forum tried all the techie fixes and flashing solutions and it ended up just requiring a simple thump! you gotta say it's kinda funny

I was happy at first , but then i realise my phone lag badly! i cant pull down notification drawer, the drawer will stuck and in order to use my phone, i have to click the back button, so that the stucked drawer will close, and i cant type properly, lag lag and lagggs! WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED GUYS? CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME PLEASE? IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THESE LAGS? should'nt Froyo be faster and better? please please i need help... should I use Anvanced task killer or anything?

maybe boot into recovery and clear cache/dalvich cache and factory reset.
Just instal a lag fix like voodoo 5

First thing you should do is a complete factory/data reset. The upgrade process isn't very good
@tragusman: erm how to boot into recovery, sorry im clueless ...

I think the things he is experiancing is more than lag its as above mentioned upgrading can leave things slow and reseting clearing cache etc is recomended.
Turn phone off then hold down power volume up and the middle button till it goes into recovery also you could use quick boot from the market its free and it will boot into recovery if the 3 button mode doesnt work.
No it wont put you back to 2.1 but may wipe contacts apps etc but the plus is a clean start.
@Gadget Check: alright thanks I shall search it up ...
@Tragusman: ok ok, thanks alot ! shall search up quick boot from android mart ...

Try reflashing the rom.
yess !! For all newbes ====>>
after flashing your phone with CUstom rom or stock if you have problem reflash if CWM work or if dont work try with odine in download mode if doanload mode work is great for you past any Stock rom you wont [VER example 2.2,2.3 etc...etc] after this if all work fine and phone reset like factory you are free to past or not a custom rom is simple for all question about how to flash via CWM or odine searche in the XDA forum for [TUTORIAL] thanks and good luck !!! ^^
No no no guys.. don't bother with reflashing and stuff, that's not the problem.. I had the same problem and I googled it for months until I've learned its a Samsung wifi hardware related problem and mostly Galaxy devices are affected. Something is wrong when phone goes in standby. It continues to work but you can't wake it and you have to reinsert battery to get it on again.
The solution is to install a tiny app called Wake Lock, it's there on market.. it keeps phone awake even when you lock screen. My phone doesn't shut off anymore and I can finally rely on it. I don't have to think anymore and check all the time if the phone is off and if I'm going to miss a call...
The alternative is to turn off wifi before you lock screen but I think that most of us need wifi on all the time to get mails and messages on time
true, this is a samsung prob it gave me a hard time many months back.
but also make sure u've wiped data before flashing.
but seriously why is this in accessories?!
I flashed many ROMs and wiped data but my Mini was still shutting down.. the Wake Lock is the real fix, I had no shutdowns for months now
I have the same problem!
Me too have the same prob.. ny sgm also runs in rc5.4 shuts down itself

i had same problem where it was totally dead...(was on alliance lsa at the time). i was flashing and then unplugged the usb as it was stuck and it never booted again.
i tried everything and finally had to send it off for jtag repair...which cost £20 and i paid for special del both ways so around £32 all in (i think you may need the same mate~
just got it back and have flashed gb on it and will decide where to go next....i'm so glad i got my note back

This worked twice for me (only 2 times I had to do this): Go to recovery, do a nandroid backup & restore the same..
This worked once today (was at work & dont wanted to take nandroid & then restore..so tried this method): Go to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik & reboot..
One of these may work for you..try it..may not a solution, but really worth trying if u dont want to re-flash the rom, lose data etc.
May be he said no recovery or download mode in OP
I feel your pain OP, Mine finally died today
RIP Galaxy Note.

WTF with these LSA and LSC leaks? I'm still waiting for my JIG to come, but what I see now doesn't give me much hope that this will revive my phone

USB Port broke and would not charge, Decided to flash stock firmware via mobile ODIN before battery eventually died so I could send for repair without them knowing what software was on it........But it died mid flash
after placing another fully charged battery into the phone it just wont boot at all, Completely lifeless.
Luckily my quick thinking made me take all the data and media off the phone before the battery ran out so im not too upset lol
I have warranty also, so i shall be sending it off after the weekend.
Current phone ??? Galaxy S3, so lifes not too bad
Good for you.

help required with samsung t899m :(

Hi..
Facing this problem with my phone..have tried a lot of googling but couldnt find anything..was just able to install the drivers for qualcomm msm..phone is not going beyond this screen after starting..any help is appreciated..
Well, that's less bad than what happened to *my* T899M... Have you tried hitting the Windows button to start recovery, as the screen suggests? Alternatively, you may be able to do a boot-time hard reset (the kind done by holding some buttons - I forget which ones, but it's documented online - while turning the phone on) since you were able to get as far as the Windows bootloader.
Without knowing more about what in particular has died, I can't really help.
hitting windows button doesnt do anything. although i was able to enter into something by holding the vol up+ power..but dunno what to do after that..
hard reset doesnt work either..im not able to reach the "exclamation" screen.the phone just vibrates and goes looping the windows screen..
any suggestions please..?? seems like a paper weight in the making..

First : start explaining when this happend ?
did you update the phone with the Cortana alpha firmware ? ( the last update on preview for developers)
if you did that then you can sent your phone back because there is no rom for your phone , only repair center can help you with that.
