Why is my S3 automatically going to Silent mode ?
Many times when I unlock I see that it is in silent mode. Sometimes after about 10 secs of unlcoking it could see it back in unsilent mode.
Any help if I need to change some setting ?
Any help with this ?
Did someone had the same issue or any solution for this ?
My phone actually goes to silent mode automatically. I had experienced it while browsing on the phone as well. It vibrates and goes to Silent mode. I had seen it come back to Sound mode after few mins (approx 10 mins).

I can almost bet that this is because of some rogue app that you have installed from market. Can you relook at what all is installed?

I remember seeing the issue from 1st or 2nd day of owning the phone. I installed Angry birds, VLC direct pro,Viber,WhatsApp,Skype,AVG antivirus,Waze,Dropbox on the 1st day.
I am also facing the same issue on my S2 and don't know how to fix this. Did you find anything for this problem?

+1 to some app do that? If not, do hard reset...
Uninstalled few apps. Still no luck Trying...
Also have same problem
I too have the same problem and have tried uninstalling the most recent apps to no avail. There seems to be no logic to when it happens - it is not all the time, but sometimes it will just start doing it. Sometimes restarting the phone cures it for a while, sometimes not.
Very frustrated.

Dear all,
I've used my LG P500 for 1 month. The 1st 3 weeks was okay. The past 7-8 days an error occurs. Every 2 days my phone automatically turns on Silent mode (with vibration) and does not accept mp3 files in sdcard as ringtone. The Sound mode is only active if I pick the phone's stock/original ringtones. Everything is okay if the phone is restarted, but after 2 days it becomes Silent again!
What happened with my phone? How to fix this?
Do you use any app similar to Tasker ?

You meant task killer? I use Advance Task Killer, but not set auto-kill. Can one of the installed app conflict with the Sound setting?
No,no. Tasker is an app that allows you to set your phone to do anything at anytime, anywhere. It is a very complex piece of software.
The first thing that comes into my mind is to do a soft reset.
It happened that I found out the reason! Today my fone became Silent again. Then I uninstalled PowerAMP. After that, the fone turned on Sound mode. I'll wait for another 2 days to confirm if P.AMP conflicts with the sound setting. So strange!
I use poweramp and I don't experience this.
Glad you solved it !

It's useless This time it became Silent (with vibrate) after only 1 day! Maybe there is a problem with my rom or a conflict between 2 else apps. Hix!
BTW, I rooted the fone and remove some default apps (Music, Map, Dual clock...) of the stock rom, and then unrooted the fone, will I be able to perform a hard reset to regain the stock rom now? Or I have to root again and flash the stock rom?
Anyone help me with this?
I don't know, but u cann try
Just reflash the rom that you are currently using

I flashed void yesterday, and this morning my fone has the above problem again!!! It seems that rom upgrade cannot help
Might there be any error with the fone's hardware? Or with the sd card? Besides, I still can execute apps, play music, read prc, pdf... on sdcard as usual.
I think its a certain app you keep using that is enabling the 'silent mode'. Try it for a few days with just a newly flashed and basics, like sapps, gapps applications and see if it still changes.
i think u are installing a buggy app,
try using the phone for 2 days without installing any app after fresh reflash.
I flashed the orginal rom this morning with no additional apps installed. It's still ok by now. Will wait for 1 more day b4 changing to a custom rom. The stock one is so laggy.
u can find the culprit(buggy app) by trial and error method and move it to recycle bin for good
been using void delta for 2 days without errors. Glad that it's not hardware problem ^_^
seems that one of the app I used enabled the Silent mode.
So randomly I'll be using my phone, and then all vibrations won't work. Haptic Feedback doesn't work, not even the vibration alert for texts but when i hit back of the phone or quick shake or lock the phone and wait for about 2 min it will works fine again !!?
Same anybody ?

You could do a factory reset, that helps many times. Type *2767*3855# in the dial pad. Backup important files first.
Thanks. Will try that.

After updating my GT-I9100 from Gingerbread to the official ICS 4.0.3 ROM I experienced random shutdowns as aforementioned. I also had the screen freeze and become unresponsive. Screen unresponsiveness only occurred the first two days, random shutdowns occurred for about a week. After a slew of additional app update notifications and subsequent updating, I no longer have the shutdown problem either. I originally upgraded through Kies on 4/20/2012 and by around 4/27/2012 I no longer have any issues. Btw, I'm on ATT in the U.S. and my phone is not rooted.
I did a factory reset and i noticed some things:
Self shutdown occurred only once.
The phone touch is considerably faster than gb.
The screen visuals are more vivid (i think thats because of my current wallpapers)
The apps load times are also faster, but the camera takes some time to load.
Tl;dr
I dont regret the hard reset but the shutdown happened once only after that.

Bad news... Shutdown twice this morning, after going into lock mode(click power button)
One thing i noticed is that he takes toooo muuucchhhh to boot when holding the power button when this hapens, so i have a theory that he actually doesnt shuts down, rather it jus wont turn on the screen. Im going to try to replicate it and send some kind of warning to one of my apps, or mail myself.

Indeed, it is not shutting down, but not waking the screen. This is known as the "sleep of death" (SoD) and has been discussed in dozens of threads already.
Usually caused by undervolting with values that are too low, but also occurs on some peoples phones when they are completely stock.
Changing kernel can sometimes help, or if you already have a custom kernel loaded, changing your voltage settings to be a bit higher on the 800mhz step.

Hi,
I can see that there are similar threads out here. But I can`t find ONE with a good answer about what can be wrong, and specialy how to solve the problem.
Like the other ones who have this problem I have a brand new Galaxy S3 who was not rooted. Stock ROM (Now I tried too root it, but still have the same problem.)
So, the problem is that when I press the power button to make the phone go to standby mode, it won`t turn back on from standby to normal mode again when I press HOME button or power button. What I have to do is hold in the power button until it has been restarted.
It looks like the phone uses alot of battery also.
The same problem can accure when I am talking in the phone. When I am about to hang up, the screen is completely black and I cant press anything, only the powerbutton to make a "hardreset".
Every problem can be solved, but many of them take a little bit more time to find a solution for.
So, can anyone please help me with this problem? It is driving me nuts!
(I have tried to switch of the wifi btw )
As previous thread, change the kernel. Rooting only not solve this problem..

I have now tried to put in a new kernel.
The Kernel is :
3.0.15-franco.Kernel
[email protected] #11
Build Nr.
Omega v9.0 - XXBLG1
I still have the same problem, when I have allot of battery ( 90-100 % ) there is no problem. But as soon as the battery reach 50 % or below, the phone wont wake up from standby mode.
What can I do? I hope that someone have a good answer and a solution for me and for everybody else who may have this problem.
Maybe to high clockspeed or undervolted to much? Could be a freeze. Or maybe a crashed system app.

Okey,
Since I am quite new at this with rooting and stuff, how can I fix my problem?
I am open for a total wipe of my phone if that can help.
But if it is so easy to set down the clockspeed or fix the undervolt I hope someone have a problem fix
If it is a system app the total wipe would fix it?

Modem (baseband version) is I9300XLF3..
After I flash franco kernel the phone restarted it self and i tought that everything was done. I have not done anything else with the phone after that regarding flash..
Is there anything I can try to do in the franco kernel update app?
I am a bit noob, so I am not following what you mean by scripts in init.d I tried to find it on the phone, but I am probably thinking wrong hehe
my comment is missing.
Better you ask in your kernel thread since you flash custom kernel.

I have 2 phones here.. One is mine and one is my friends phone. We have exactly the same kernel and the same rom.
Also the same modem.
Do you think to change the modem would help? I think it`s quite strange if we have exactly the same.
Maybe it would help to put in the ROM to wipe the phone? So the stock ROM would be gone.
I am going to find out this problem one way or another
Try to do a factory reset...it workd fr me
Do you have weather on lock screen enable? I disable my friend's phone, no more freeze.

I have now taken a factory reset. + that I have put in the OMEGA Rom again and the Franco kernel. All this after I have tested the phone to see if it was working.
But it seems like I have the same problem. But not that often. Maybe when I get batterylevel under 30 %.

I still have the same problem. I can not predict when the phone is going into freeze. Hope someone can find out what can causing the problem.
I have tried to observe how the phone is acting the couple of days.
It uses alot of battery. I take out the charger at 0800 at the morning.. When the clock is 1700 i have 20% battery.. This is after several restarts during the day..
It seems like if I put the phone in my pocket it freezes. Could be a coincidence.
The phone won't take charging when it has gone into "freezemode"..
This might help

I had a similar issue with the phone and what i do to make it go away is , after every restart , or battery pull , u let it sit for a second to load up everything then u open up u'r dallier and dial *#0011# this will take u to the service menu , once there u press the"menu" button on the phone and chose "WiFi" .. u should have a button there that says "On" with a blue line underneath , click on it then exit the menu and enjoy
as i understand this has something to do with the " power saving mode" for wifi , the problem for me started after i uploaded a huge amount of data to dropbox ... (40~ GB of photos and Videos) so i might of ****ed up the wifi chip or something
I found this to work after reading a few threads on the forum , it's not a permanent fix but it dose the job for me :laugh:
I wold like to thank whomever came up with this , but i can't remember who it was
Hello,
I bought recently the new SGS3 and after a week or two of using I noticed the phone loses all the sounds despite all of them are turned on and not being on minimum. After a while the sounds get back and everything works fine. At first I thought it might be from the settings because I set up silent mode for all notifications and I thought it may turn all the sounds off, despite it normally shouldn't. After playing for a while with the phone I realized the issue appears randomly without any reasons while I was playing game or simply navigating through the phone. If anyone had experienced the same issue or have an idea what could be the problem (software, hardware, settings, OS, etc) or how it can be solved, please respond. Any answer is appreciated as the problem is quite annoying as I'm missing calls because of it.
Thank you.
Phone details:
Samsung Galaxy S III
Android version - 4.0.4
Baseband version - I9300BOLF1
Kernel version - 3.0.15-782020
Build number - IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB
P.S. Restart of the phone doesn't help as I already tried it. The issues is related to all the sounds not to the vibration, the last works fine.
Backup data and factory reset.

Thank you for your advise JJEgan, unfortunately it didn't help neither. Yesterday I did the factory reset and left it as it is, didn't restore any of my previous settings or apps, didn't install anything additional, just wanted to see if the problem will appear again, and unfortunately it did.
Anything else I can try or I should take it to a service?
Thank you
I have the same problem with notification sounds. The problem appears when i turn off notifications on apk like im+ or Yahoo messenger. Is there any other solution rather than factory rest?
