i have the galaxy for 5 monthes now..
switched tons or ROMs and kernels.
since i tried the 2.3.5 androidmeda(i think it started there) i have a problem answering my phone.
when someone call me i can slide it right in order to answer, the phone stop the ringtone like i answered but i cant hear anything hile the other side think someone answered him as he doesn't hear the tome anymore.
i tried to go back to KG5 but i cant get rid of it.
it got better as i changed the modem(used to be on KI4) to KE4 and KG5(the rom im with right now but its not good.i can answer but it takes 5-10 seconds before i see the call screen and able to talk properly.
tryied androidmeda,cognition,batista,xpower(the used to be),villain and so. none helped so i guess its not ROM related exactly.
Maybe some data was changed (such as the opening after trying androidmeda-the white turning cube and the android character insted of the samsung s 2 pic).
i tried various MODEMS in order to solve it but no progress yet.
anyone familiar with this problem?anyway to solve it?
Sounds like a hardware problem more than a rom problem. You have tried all them custom roms do its quite odd. Id say trying to go back to a full stock rom if you haddent already and maybe test out other voice features on the phone like voice record and the google voice search thing.

My SGS2 stopped vibrating. Tried flashing, un-rooting, restoring stock and factory settings. None of these worked.
I am inclined to think that it is a hardware problem.
Has anyone else been dealing with issue? I read some posts on XDA regarding this matter but they were software related as opposed to hardware. Can anyone post instructions on how to fix it or provide any solutions for this issue?
If its hardware, why not flash stock, remove binary flash count with USB jig, and return for warranty?

Cannot get jig in Palestine. Bought the phone from the UK. Sending it back will be problematic. I will look for a repair shop.
Thanks for the quick reply
That's a "bummer" (bad luck). You could make a jig, but as you said that it would be problematic to return. Hope you can sort it easily. Sorry, can't think of anything of use right now.

hey there,
i got the same problem. no more vibrating at all. not with calls or notifications and not as haptic feedback. it started today (was still working in the morning), though i did not drop the phone or anything.
i am still hoping too find that it's a sw-problem. but all potential solutions i find do not help. so i guess i have to contact samsung.
but before i do that i have to get rid of all "hacking".
could you plz tell me what i have to do?
i have now cm9 20120402 nightly.
but i still have a cwm-recovery-backup of the original touchwiz (gingerbread).
-so first i make a backup of my current rom via cwm and of all my apps via titanium and store everything on my pc.
-i flash my touchwiz-backup
-i get one of those: http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ld-keywords=Samsung+Galaxy+S2+USB+Jig&x=0&y=0 , plug it in, wait til its done and remove it again.
after that, samsung will never know i "messed" with the phone??
or do i have to consider/do something else?
tyvm!!

I have the same issue.
When I was on my stock 2.3.5, I found a workaround:
- go into test mode (dial *#0*#)
- find the vibrate button, when you press it, it shouldn't work like you expect
- go back
- plug in your headphones and push the cable a bit to the left
- test vibrate again - this time it should work
- pull the cable out while vibrating, still pushed to the left, vibrations should stay on
I know it sounds crazy but it seems the hardware part that controls the vibrations is near to the jack port - excessive use of headphones, like it was case, must have damaged it somehow.
However, now I'm on CM9, so no test mode for me, I'm achieving the same effect by bashing the back button, so I get semi-constant vibration. I know, It's ridiculous.
Have the same problem here, I think it's software related because the shut down vibration stopped working when I flashed CM9 ICS, I can't remember if it was working anywhere else though. But now I'm back to 2.3.5 and it's not working at all. Did a Factory Reset, Cleaned Cache before and after the flash. Also used the Jig to reset my counter. Any clues?
I am experiencing the same issue.
Yesterday, I downgraded from 4.0.3 back to 2.3.5 as I was having a lot of problems with ICS. Now, my phone works fine again except for the fact that it does not vibrate anymore. (Which it did fine in 4.0.3 and before in 2.3.5)
I tried the trick Lechium06 mentioned in this thread but that did not work for me.
Anyone else having this issue? More important, anyone have a solution???

I saw something similar on CM9 thread, they said it could be a "bad flash", not a corrupted rom but the lack of proper cleanup before and after the flash. But I cleaned up everything before and after and I don't like reconfiguring the whole phone again for nothing.
it happend again.
dont recall what i did or if i did something last time at all. but it worked for over a year now. and now, my sgs2 doesnt vibrate at all, i tried all possible settings, tested with z-device and rebooted. nothing.
apprechiate any hint!
thx!!

AW: [Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue
since i had that before, i ruled out a hardware issue. it happend when i played with the system settings. but as i sayed, i tried to reverse everything i did. now after i updated to 0206 and wiped cache and dalvik, still no vibration.
is there anything i could have missed?
is there a possibility to reset all settings to default without deleting all my data?
thx,

I assume since your posting in xda developers that you are rooted?
If so, just back up data with titanium backup app and factory reset, setup system and then restore USER apps and data only.

Did you install another rom?
My vibration for example didn't work with some cm10.1 nightlies
it started in cm10.1 20130203. then i tried wipe cache and dalvik. nothing. then i updated to 0206 (wiped cache and dalvik again) > still nothing. went to bed. got up. everything ok! its vibration again! i am 100% sure, it did not work, when i left it on my desk last night. this morning, i checked for missed calls and it took a moment until i realized: i got haptik feedback back on patternunlock and keystrokes! checked ringtone-vibration: fine as well!
dont ask me how! would still like to know for myself.
thx,
kws
AW: [Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue

Hi. Got a strange sound problem on my S3. Have Omega Rom installed XXEMB5 v 43.1 and J-Kay 14.92.9. Stock Kernel After some time my phone does not have any sound. If i try to play a sound withsound player it says that it is not supported. Cannot play any Youtube video, no ringtone or notification sound. If I reboot the phone everything works normal again for some time until the problem is there again. Tried to reset to factory, wiped and reformatted the internal and external memory card and reinstalled Rom and Jkay. Anyone knows about this problem or have a solution?

I'd install a stock ROM to test the speaker. That will tell you if the problem is the custom ROM, which it may well be. Otherwise, ask in the specific ROM's thread that the dev started.
Hi, I think I am having the same problem.
About 30 minutes ago I missed a call, Phone was on my desk 2 meters away?? He then rang back and the phone was in front of me with the call screen but no sound, I checked all volume levels and they were all high. Now when I altered the volume with the rocker switch (Down then up) the volume came back
I also had this same problem a few weeks ago when I was running custom Samsung roms, But that was mainly to do with the alarm going off but not sounding. So I reverted back to stock because of those issues and now that I am getting the same problems on the stock software it must be a hardware fault.
So I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the rom but the hardware instead somehow. I Don't want to but I may have to send my phone off.
Somebody else must have this problem as well? ??
i have the same problem too, just like for me the sonds do not come back after reboot. i made it to work somehow but after one more reboot the problem is here again and cant make it work again.
Hey every body.
I'm having a nightmare with my s3.
Back at the start of April I changed my from from stock to cyanogen mod 9.1.
It was rooted prior to this and never gave any issues.
Cyanogen 9.1 worked perfect until today. I'm not sure if its an issue with the ROM or the phone
Symptoms are if I call somebody there us no dial tone but I can tell when they answer because the timer starts timing the call but I hear nothing.
They can hear me alright but that's it.
I tried flashing back my stock from but the phone won't recognize the next SD card.
Can anyone help please. I need this phone working
Thanks
Looks like the issue sorted itself out on its own accord.
Can anyone shed some light on what to do if it does it again?
I have got the same issue. I don't know why is it happening, but I have the solution.
###
Turn ON the screen lock sound in the audio settings. Restart your S3. Thats it. Keep it on.

Care to elaborate
this is a known issue with AOSP ROMs.
Enable lockscreen sound in settings

Hello everybody,
I just recently flashed SuperNexus 3 (AOSP 4.3) On my i9300.
I have only one problem, and that is that I can't seem to hang up an active call.
It goes like this sequence:
1. dial a number
2. person picks up, everything is fine because he or she can end the call too.
3. in the event that the other end does not pick up the phone, the fun begins.
4. I'd like to hang up the call because there is not much to a voice mail.
5. I press the red phone button, whichs turns gray.
6. My phone goes back to the launcher, but says that there is an open call to be hung up.
7. The call can't be hung up so I end up having tor restart the phone.
I'd like to try a different kernel, but there are not so much 4.3 kernels out yet.
Any help would be extremely much appreciated!
Weird stuff is to be expected with beta releases, best ask in your rom & kernel threads if anyone else has similar issues.
I have this problem sometimes on my GS3 but also my grilfriend has the same problem on the HTC ONE X, it doesnt happen all the time but it does happen now and again, im on stock rooted rom and my gf in on plain old stock.
So maybe something to do with Android
Thanks for the answers. I will post in the threads once I get 10 posts, but I don't want to spam

Wipe phone and flash again
Reflashing did not work, I flashed Paranormal Android and everything seems to be fine now.
