loud speaker stopped working - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Has anyones loudspeaker stop working? I can hear phone calls ..but when i try to play ringtones or watch vids or even have the touch sounds on i hear nothing. I tried reflashing the rom i was using since the 11th and still nothing. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

No one has had this problem?

Not had the problem but if a reflash didnt work - try going back to stock...but it sounds like a hardware issue

Just went back to stock and it still isnt working. What pisses me off is that the phone is near perfect. Haven't had any of the problems others are having.

lighting rom, but i believe this issue was said to have started before, however i could be wrong!
just grabbed my next door neighbour and did 2 way test, i walked around the block on his 7 year phone and he sounded muffled on mine - went back to my phone and he was having trouble making me out but sound clear to me - bollocks!
guess i better flash stock back again.

Multiple threads claim this happens. Seems to just be a defect with no solution. Search around.

Better if you change your rom and test it again...

This is exactly what happens to me!!!
I suddenly start sounding muffled...
when my wife goes out of town...
and I go on a drinking rampage.
But then she comes back, and everything is back to normal.
Sorry OP, for makign a joke here. Yeah like others said, try factory reset and then restore factory firmware.
Some ppl claim that this happens when u r using a case cover blocking the mic for noise reduction. Try using it without and see if this solves the problem!!
Hope this helps!!

With the phone itself. It seems to be a certain location your mouth is to the mic just causes muffled sound. And the noise cancellation seems to be part of the issue, doesn't work correctly. So turning it off sometimes helps.
well i called O2, and they are swapping me a brand new one tomorrow, as i have had one month!, ordered on 25th May and called yesterday being 25th June.
they are bring me one to my house - that is service!
i did try flashing stock rom, but no difference, tested my mates and his sounds fine, pretty sure there is an issue. oh well a new one will do!

Cutting out during calls

I have a problem and I can't figure out what is wrong. I am running hyperdrive on kt kernel but it happens on other rooms and kernels too. The microphone on my phone keeps cutting out during call. The person I am call than can no longer here me. I am able to get the microphone to work again if I put it into speaker phone Mode and than back to headset mode. Does anybody know what is wrong? Will they send me a updated phone if I send it in for warranty?

A friend from work was complaining about this same problem today. She is 100% stock. I might try to look at her phone tomorrow. Any suggestions from the community would be great.

Didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Might recommend a factory reset to her and if that doesn't resolve it, maybe a hardware swap.
I was going to say that aosp is the problem then someone is having same issues with stock, hmm weird on the stock one, as I know the others have the call bug.
Have you guys tried a different kernel or modem?

Yah I have had the same problem on both hyperdrive and slim bean. I have also tried both stock and kt kernel. I did upgrade the modem. I cant remember if I had the same problemon the release modem. Could it be a modem problem? Didn't think of that because it seemed like a microphone issue
I've been having issues on stock also. Its usually when I'm on the phone and sometimes it'll cut out on me and I can't really hear what the person on the other end is saying.

I want to bump this. I am still having this problem. I have even Odin the factory image. Seems like a software problem to me though.
Cuts out
If you turn off the proximity ssensor, the dialpad stays on. When your cheek touches it, the phone will mute, end call, etc.

So confused

I have a strange issue with my s2, the mic records fine. But when I make a call the other person dosent hear me, I flashed different firmware but still no good.

installing stock ROM should work... strange... you are installing the correct version right?
it can't be a hardware problem as mic is working..
try to remove any malicious app maybe a call recorder??? cause that might be muting your mic??
i am soo curious.. please let me know if you find out the fix

Not installing any recorder apps na?

What happens when you use your hands free in a call?
For an experiment, you can flash a custom kernel and in the kernel configuration app you can boost the microphone output.
I will give a custom kernel a try when I get to the office. And I haven't installed any app

Did your problem get solved???
I'm having the same problem in Slim Saber 4.4.4 (build 21/12). When i call using phone mic other person can't hear me. When i speak through head phone mic they can hear. Also they can hear me speaking when my phone is in loud speaker.

Still waiting for a solution.

Accelerometer- test FAILED!?

Hi guys,
hope you'll be able to help me out with this. Under Diagnostics-->Orientation--> Accelerometer, my brand new Xperia Z4 fails the test since it won't vibrate while shaking the device! Now, vibration itself works fine it's just won't do it in that particular test. Does it mean I've got a faulty device? Can you kindly check if the same problem exists in your devices.
Also, when I've got my music/youtube on and changing orientation, audio seems to cut off for a split second during the transistion. Is it releated you think?
Thanks so much for your help in advance!
And 1st i thought mine was too.. Try shakin itnevery way possbile.. Got mine to vibrate

I've tried that with no luck unfortunately. What about this other "audio-orientation" issue I've got? This is my first Sony device so I don't know whether that's something normal or not?

This audio issue is software bug, i have it too. And for accelerometer i got failed couple of times, but it's working. If it doesn't work you would not be able to rotate screen orientation.

I'm glad the audio issue is a software bug. It's a bit annoying but hopefully it'll be addressed in the future updates. I can live with that...for now As for the failed test, you think it's really nothing to worry about? The auto-rotation works just fine but why it won't vibrate during the test? You reckon that's the diagnostics issue, another bug perhaps? I just wonder if that's a common issue, that's all?I hope you guys will let me know

Yeah, tried same app on my phone failed couple of times and suceeded finally. Nothing to worry at all, probably one more bug.

I've tried for the millionth time and it finally vibrated then it wouldn't again! Well, I'm telling you it was far from shaking it gently . Like you said, it must be another bug!Thanks for your help mate. Much appreciated!

Speaker don't work. Strange behavior.

Hi everyone,
Got my Motorola One 4 months ago in Saturn.de. Android 9.0 on board with March updates.
One month ago my speaker had stopped work. I'm not able to hear music/alarm/call.
But in headphones everything works.
I noticed some strange behavior:
If I start playing music, then go to Sound Settings and try to change call sound level - for few seconds I hear music from speaker.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Never heard of that problem before. At least not on Moto one.
But it sounds like it's software related since the speaker obviously works when you change call sound level.
Maybe do a backup of important stuff and try a factory reset.
