Received a few months old Note as a gift. Installed stock ICS through Kies and flashed a safe kernel + CWM (PhilZ kernel + CWM 6.0). Been using it for 2 days, and tonight when I played a MP3 through speakerphone, the sound completely disappeared midway through the song. I've tried changing the sound settings and rebooting the phone to no avail. Is the speakerphone dead?
whats happens when u call someone?
Normal calling is fine, but if I put it on speaker there's no sound.
Hey i think you should try a factory reset or get back to original rom

so that means the earpiece works fine and the speaker is dead.. could be a hardware issue as well.
yea as said above try doing a factory reset with CWM and check if that works.. if not. go back to stock rom (but dont wipe anything on that)
last resort : take to a phone shop and take advice.
Did a factory reset and still nothing. I suppose I'll call Samsung tomorrow to see how much they charge for a speakerphone replacement. This phone was my dad's and he lives overseas so I won't be able to repair it under warranty here
If I were to send it to Samsung for repair, I'll need to flash the stock ICS kernel back right?
any ways if its not under warranty so if i were samsung i wouldnt care but not sure how real samsung ppl will react.
its ur decision if u want stock kernel or not.. there is a thread from Dr ketan and has all the stock kernels on it
I switched the phone off and left it to charge overnight. When I switched it back on this morning the sound came back. Pretty confused now.
how did that happen... is that symptoms of a loose assembly

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)

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
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 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.
I really don't want to send in my TAB to Samsung especially after hacking it and technically voiding the warranty. I don't want to have to pay them if they void it.
The issue: i957 reboots after screen times out or locking it with the power button. Works fine while the screen remains on.
Last working circumstances : I plugged it into the sound board at church into the headphone jack and it restarted, my phone has done this before too when plugging into the sound board but didn't get the reboot problem. I was on CM10and immediately after restored to my HC backup with no luck.
Also tried: reinstalling CM10, wiping CM10, wiping stock, flashing back to all stock thru Odin (after this the delay before restart after screen off is about 2 min)
Any ideas or suggestions would be a huge help.

Im not expert..but this is kind Sleep of Death... I think its because kernel you had...
Flash with Stock ROM maybe solve this..
Interesting I've tried falshing all to stock but ill try to go back and forth with a couple kernels and see what happens.
Factory reset on stock. Also try fixing permissions. Do a log cat to see what is causing it

Tried some different kernels and factory reset on stock and resets on different kernels and now I'm teaching myself how to run a log cat (not sure why I never taught myself this before). Strangely enough, when the TAB is plugged into the computer it hasn't yet restarted but plugged into the wall it does. Not sure how this log cat will work tho when it won't restart while plugged in.
Update: I can't get this thing to restart while plugged into the computer, I downloaded alogcat but have no idea what i'm looking at or how to use it.
Anyone have any other thoughts before I bite the bullet.
my phone's vibrate is not working since i installed a sony xperia launcher, but i all ready do factory reset many times, flashing different roms many times too, remove my battery, set my setting but there is nothing happen i already download vibrafix still nothing happen either haptic feedback is not working
can someone help me or my phones vibrate is totally dead
Yep, it's dead. It's hardware problem (since you flashed other ROM right ?, so it's not software problem).

That's creepy. As F4uzan says: It's a hardware problem. I know It is quite a coincidence the vibration stop working just after installing the launcher, but it has nothing to do with the vibration. Maybe the phone received some damage (like falling or something like that before or a lot after the installation of the launcher), or maybe the phone was damaged and the vibration stopped working(?) You should go to the store and change it if you have the guarantee.

Well you can always unroot the mini. But now that you're telling me about how was the phone, I have no other conclusion about it, it's not software related..
I know that I already told you two times that it is not related to the software, but did you try to flash an official firmware using odin? You might do it and see what happens.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app
Yes, as above said try the official stock GB firmware via Odin. I'm wondering whether its a kernel related issue as the vibrator stopped working. Before going to service center try with the stock ROM and see whether it works.

If the phone vibrates randomly when you plug the charger, then you should make a clean flash with odin with more reason.

As the title says, sound has stopped coming out of my loudspeaker, and is now only coming out through the ear speaker. It's only just started happening. Any ideas? I really want to avoid a factory reset if possible.

did u put it underwater? if so wait about 2-3 hours and it should come back, if not do a reset or flash a different rom to see if it a hardware failure or software.

xperia z Speaker not work - all answers listed
here you go bro
Guys,
Facing a strange problem since morning. Here are the sequence of incidents since mornings -
As usual I got into my car with bluetooth switched on and went to office.
I did make a couple of calls using bluetooth from my car
I reached office, and went on to work
I had kept the phone on my desk in front of me
I realized a call coming on my phone but it did not vibrate nor did it make any sound, I was surprised and kept looking at the phone
After a couple of rings, the phone automatically answered the call.
I just put the phone to my ears and started talking.. freaky, but I ignored it
After that all calls received I am finding the same behavior
I made number of calls from my office phones and the phone gets answered automatically
I checked and the sound was reduced to zero, so I made it maximum
Vibrator doesn't work anymore, even after several restarts
I tried using the hidden mode 3645#*880#, and was unsure how to go about vibrator test, the phone doesn't vibrate at all
Please suggest some workaround.
Note that since last 15 days I am facing number of weird problems most of which got solved after re-calibration using the hidden mode, so there seems to be some problem with the phone. Should I reset the phone to factory settings? I am on stock OS Android 4.1.2, never have rooted the phone
Backup your data to a external medium and try the factory reset like you already said.
If that doesn't work and you don't want to mess with reflashing stock with LG software I'd suggest you to send it to LG repair service.
If you don't have a warranty anymore try the reflash of a stock firmware (repair option in LG tool).

I'm not completely sure and I would definitely remove the SD card if you backup your data to it just to be sure
For flashing the stock firmware/ repairing it search for LG Support Tool (I think that was the official one).
You need to install drivers and the Tool itself but it's not hard at all.

Ok, I can try removing the SD card and use the LG official softare. However, I do not have a laptop using which I can do this now. However, I can still try and get one just to do this.. Thanks for the info and support.
