Guys,
Just got my sgs2 yesterday. Rooted. everything was okay.
Then I wanted to set a ringtone + notification sound right.
Got into sound settings, ringtones and started to try them out.
at first there was sound and ringtones played, but then suddenly it stopped.
The speaker is dead - No sound at all. no shutdown sound, no usb connection sound, no ringer sound, no media sound.
Tried : Restart, Switching silent mode on/off, switching vibration on/off, FACTORY RESET, searching the hell out of the web to find a solution on this ...
Please help !
I'm with stock OS, phone bought in UK via clove.

Are you sure this is a hardware problem ?
p.s : It's really hard to return a product to a seller that is thousands of miles away.

We can't be sure, but what you've said indicates that something is wrong.
Have you considered a reflash with the stock Samsung firmware?
Also, given you have rooted, you might be best to use a Jig to reset the number of "non official" binaries flashed, so that it doesn't appear to have been rooted, as we all know what some places are like with rooting
A test play an MP3 file on your PC .
Transfer that to sd card then while sd card is connected try to play via pc by double click . then open my files navigate to the MP3 and play it .
jje
Well I've just reflashed the kernel (from the rooting procedure)
No go
Will try to flash the whole firmware - downloading ...
this is sooooooo frustrating !!!!!

But what would tick the speaker hardware to kill itself ??
worked well after the root. somewhere after just died ...
this is sooo weird !
Okay, tried to flash the stock FM - flash went okay but the problem remained.
Flashed the newest firmware from sami with new pda, modem and csc - still not working
WTF !?!?!?

That would be a fluke hardware issue I guess... Warranty return time, I think
Not my day ...
Thanks for the help though ..

I think the same thing happened to me.
My sound from the normal speaker worked last night before I went to bed, I plugged it in and this morning my alarm didn't wake me up.
Headphone jack works
Headset speaker works
All sounds through the back speaker are a no go.
I tried reflashing a few different firmwares and still a no go.
Sucks theres no stock Bell firmware out because I can't get warranty until it is!
Damn

Hi there,
Got the same problem with my 3 days old (or rather: new) Galaxy Note!
Regards,
I sent my phone back to Samsung and they fixed it. It isnt a complicated repair it will void your warranty tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
your problem is that the phone thinks that a headset or headphone is inserted..... try to use ur headset to prove this....
get the app that disable headset/headphone and all ur media sound will go to your speakers. i had this problem too and the only solution ive found was the app.... its not a hardware problem but a system bug....... goodluck
Hey, I had the same issue. Just buy a new speaker. MODULE-SPK+INT GH59-10917A. Changing that is piece of cake.
Just check a youtube for howtos. Buying one should be like below $8 on ebay.
It took me only 10 minute to fix it (and 3 days of waiting for the mail to arrive
cheers

Hi there,
I bought the galaxy s2 2 weeks back..and the problem that I am facing is whenever i use headphones for the music, after like 10 secs my phone hangs for some reason! I even return the set to samsung service centre they change the entire motherboard and everything but the problem is still there!!
Please Advise!
Thanks

I have the same problem too...i have to remove the battery and set it up again for rebooting....
I have no idea how to fix that but i think it's a ROM bug and updating to ICS will solve the problem

try any third party applications and check problem remains or not...
eg : trail versions of Power Amp or Player Pro
What ROM are you using? Stock or a modded one and GB (gingerbread) or ICS (ice-cream sandwich). Because modded versions have different fixes for them to get things to run stable.
PS
What strikes me strange about your post is you said you brought this to a Samsung service center and they replaced your motherboard.
This implies it's not a ROM/software problem.
Did you buy a used phone? Also I don't know any official Samsung Centers that will replace the mobo for you. They usually replace the phone for some hardware problems like that (but it's possible I guess).
**Because if the service center replaced it, and you still have that problem, then they either didn't do a good job (because they should have tested it to work), or you have some bad ROM flash.
cyberboob said:

Yes they do well posted on XDA .

Thats probably true as well .
OP suggest wipe phone and flash stock GB rom to test .
Of course it could be your music is the problem .

I had the exactly same problem plus bunch of others which led to service trip.
Phone went to local service center and came back repaired, only to work for two days.
They changed the earphone jack and speaker modules on the first run.
Second time it had to be sended to service it had problems witn wifi and bt.
They changed mobo.
Third time proximity and lightsensors didn't work so they replaced the phone.
Last time my phone hung, the problem was my modded earphones.
I ripped the original samsung earbuds and replaced them with KOSS portapro's.
I had miss-soldered positive and negative on other earpiece... I changed the polarity, and now everything works.
Mysterious...
Thanks for the info JJEgan on the mobo replacements. I guess it's a region/location thing. I traverse mostly from Taiwan and Japan, and they just replace units with any hardware problems after they check it.
Back to the OP:
The music plays fine when earphones not plugged in right? I asked a friend who works at a service center here and he says it can be either the earphone jack is faulty or not connected properly (inside case), or maybe you didn't insert your earphones all the way (lol that's a stretch but never know).

Ok today all the sudden my speaker went acting crazy.
It plays for 1 second --> no more sound
i close the app --> reopen app
It plays for 1 second --> no more sound
etc...
headphone jack works ok.
at first i tought it could be a software issue since it does play for 1 sec. and it seems to recover after reopening the app.. but after 2 wipes and 2 roms (cm9 and wooky, started with AOKP) the problem persists...
ok this is a hardware issue.
1) anyone has a explanation for this strange behaviour? how come it plays for 1 sec everytime (short circuit? )
2) i am unlocked so in theory im out of warranty ( but the law says different so im RMAing this thing... ) Anyone has experience with RMAing an unlocked device? do's and don'ts?
edit: ok im not the only one... wish me luck im sending it in :thumbup:

You can RMA unlocked Primes, at least in the US. I just sent mine in - it was bricked and had a broken HDMI port. I seem to have gotten away without any charge too . See post #34 in this thread for some inside info regarding what to do when you send it in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678725&page=4
The problem seems to be that it comes back locked and the Unlock app will not work. You might want to consider this if this is an issue for you. See this thread:

Whatever you choose to do, good luck
Hey guys,
Does anybody who ever or being suffered from the call issue like hearing nothing from the receiver during phone calls(I am using I9305 and I know some people have the same or similar problems with me)??Sometimes it work,but sometimes it doesn't!!And the speaker works in most of the cases,whereas sometimes it also breaks down liked the receiver.Moreover,I can hear some cracks from the receiver in some cases.
I am totally freaked out because I am sure that the receiver is good (no problems with skype and wechat,and I also have checked it by using "*#0*#" when the situation happens) and it seems impossible to be solved after wiping and flashing different firmware(both by cwm and odin),and so do the modems and kernel including Perseus.
Today I found sth strange about the call issue by chance: when I lock the screen maybe for more than 5 mins,then wake it up and make a phone call soon,the receiver can't work every times.However, when I put it into use(light the screen) for more than 3 or 4 mins,and then the receiver works again during calls.
What I want to say is: maybe there are sth wrong with the cpu setting or the power management.
Any solutions or suggestions will be totally appreciated!!!
Maybe try flashing different modems? I had this problem too awhile back and flashing a modem fixed the problem.
Writing in big font is annoying..

Actually I have tried to turn off the noise reduction but it doesn't work.Someone told me that is a hardware issue..I have no idea about this,I thought it it just the software issue since everything perform good except calls.

I've tried all of them...I think I am going to accept the fact that it relates to the hardware problem...
Now, I had this phone for about a year and a half and this issue never happned, I tried resetting ALL the data of the phone, nothing.
I tried dialing *#197328640#, but it will not let me access audio. What to do?
Maybe the mic is damaged phisically, has the device been beaten? it was submerged? Maybe it's because the phone is old.
Funny thing is that I actually replaced the mic. But the issue is still there also is there a way the access the Service audio thingie?

thnx bro am already do that as you say but i have Q is the service code can fix it
Four different sets used already and flashed stock so default settings already set. Depends were you are. Me I would go to local shop and get a good price from there. But ebay is cheap. I dont trust it though. No service code will fix hardware mate
I9100/I9300
I have this problem too, went through two sets of headphones, one new phone and one replacement part and the problem still happening In order to make it work I have to jiggle the connection in the phone till the sound comes on, then it will randomly just stop, no sound or it will just be crackly
Bad connection that is. Wiggle said it all. Replace or have the port looked at.
