External speaker died

I've had the phone since it was released and noticed i was missing calls, emails etc. Come to find out my phones speaker is 99% dead.
If i place my ear to it, i can just barely hear sounds and music.
Anyone else experience this? Or am i lone wolf in this, lol

Haven't heard of anyone else having this problem. Sounds like you are indeed alone.
Maybe search the international gnote forum too, but I haven't red anyone experiencing this.
Sorry, good luck

The issue I've had is that my speaker seems to disable itself after I do a Hangout on Google+. Sounds only come though the earpiece afterwards until I power it off and on.
Call Samsung you might be able to get it fixed if you don't have a warranty

I've had my I717D (Telus version) for less than a week and from the first day I got it the external speaker would disable itself, then after a reboot it would work. It started happening more and more until today it doesn't work at all, I'm going back to get a replacement tomorrow.

Ive tried rebooting, factory reset, right now flashing the stock rom back and doing a counter reset. Dont think its going to help.
Apparently a few people with the international version have had this issue.
But att does give a 1 year warranty, so they should take care of it.

Audio is pushed through speakers while headphones are plugged in.

I can't seem to get the audio to come 100% through the speakers. Music works fine.

notifications will go though the phone speakers although i dont know why.
Is there a way to change that?

[Q] Mic destroyed

Hello good people of XDA!
I'll just get straight to it, well basically due to some water damage the main mic on my s2 is screwed, it just produces weird static for the other person to hear on call. I intent to get it fixed soon but just havent found the time. I believe there are two mics on the S2, so I was wondering: is there some way I switch to that for phone calls, for the time being?
Im rooted btw
Could you share your rom details for further advise

Im not aware of any but there could be some hack to enable it as the primary microphone. Its the noise cancellation input mic. Its located at the top right side of the phone besides the audio jack. Would be hard to talk into it and hear the other person at the same time, wouldn't it?

I use, mic-less earphones (ear buds or whatever you call them ) so thats not a problem. A hack of that sort is exactly what I am looking for ^^
I know I could just get some earphones with inbuilt mic but If im going to do that, I might as well get my phone fixed instead
bump?
Anyone?
why don't you simply repair it? Or you like your phone being crippled in this way...
Im out of town and in a place where i cant find a reliable place to fix it, im going back in like 4 days. So just need a simple hack for the moment

Earphone jack problem

Hi guys.
My earphone jack only connects sound to a single ear. Ive tried many healthy headsets but to no avail. Do you guys have any quick fix for this?
Or probably do you guys know how long it would usually take Samsung tech support if i send this to them? Do i leave my phone there for weeks?
Any reply would be appreciated.
Cheers!

I faced the same problem of audio coming from only one earphone (right one in my case) then i realized when i plugged the headphones just about half in the s3's audio jack sound started from both earphones ..... The audio quality is not perfect but it worked in my case .... hope this post will help
Will be happy if i can get a permanent fix for this problem ...
Doesnt really work in my case. Haha. Ive had this issue for months. Unfortunately my schedule was restrictive and i cant afford to not have my s3 for too long.
Maybe someone who had a similar issue could help. Thanks

Anyway to make ringtone play through headphones...

I was wondering if theres anyway to make this phone ring through the head phone jack when I have them hooked up. Right now whenever this phone is hooked up to my radio, and I get a call, I dont hear it because the ringtone plays through the phone instead of the radio....

I have three G3's and a N2 and they all do this.
I have never seen a way to fix it. It doesn't really bother me anymore, but at my old job when I listened to streaming audio all day it really pissed me off......
Mine actually play through both the headphones AND the phone, so I guess thats a little different problem but it sucked at work when I didn't want other people thinking all I did was text all day...LOL

My problem is that when my boss calls me at work, I don't hear it because I'm working. That's one of the reasons I hook my phone up to my radio. I'm sure there's a mod or app out there, I just haven't found it yet.

I have not personally tested this, but Soundabout Pro from the Play Store is the app that I have seen recommended to solve audio routing issues on S3 and Note 2.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nk.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix.pro&hl=en
in the market place there is an app called "soundabout" has tons of features can even force the media player to play through the mono blue tooth signal.
there is a free version but you'll need the paid version to do what you are wanting to do I believe.
