[Q] Strange sound problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Volume gets low once in a while

Hi all, the matter is very simple, I have been running my Galaxy S2 perfectly for months without any problem, but recently, once in a few days, my volume gets twice lower than normal, I mean all kinds of sound ringtone, notification sound, alarm etc. I checked in settings and other volume apps but their volume bars remain unchanged, the only way is fix it (as I know now) is to clear all the cache and restart the phone, but I don't want to do that 'cause it will come back in a few days without any sign and clearing cache means I will lost some apps' history
Anyone has any clue or suffered from the same problem? 'cause I totally don't know why it's like that ???
Are you using any flip to silence software? I had a similar problem when I had Flip installed.

No audio in front-speaker

Hey,
I have a problem with the upper speaker (the one used during calls etc). Sometimes it simply stops working until I restart the phone. The other speaker is working fine. The other side can always hear me.
I can't figure out where the problem lies. I've had the same problem on Omega v33/Perseus 27a, however I did a MegaWipe followed by fresh install of Omega v34/Perseus 27a/JKay. Previously I thought it was caused by custom dialer, however now I'm using the stock one. I blamed ac1d sound mod for it, but now I'm not using it anymore and still the same issue. I've tried plugging in and out headphones after rebooting, but its working fine.
Any ideas what can cause it?
Anyone?
Go to service center ...its hardware fault.
You sure? It only happens sometimes and reboot helps

But as u said u already tried to hard reset any change your ROM too....if this is software problem then it should solved by factory reset or changing a rom

It could be some app (i used titanium backup restore) or maybe kernel related. I need to figure out what's causing it, I kinda doubt hw is causing it though
You'll find it probably is hw fault most mods or kernels shouldnt break the front speaker man

Yeah this is a hardware fault. Its happened to me once before. It is something to do with the call audio processing. I reflashed my device 15 times with different roms before sending it for repair and none fixed it.
Luckily their service is fast. I had my phone back within five days.

They also upgraded me from 16gb storage to 32gb storage which was nice of them.

I remember there were often issues with lack of audio during calls in early CM10 for example. There is still a hope its software-related
I have the same issue but is only with Perseus Kernel
Hi Crunozaur,
I have the same issue with the Speaker but is only when i install the Perseus kernel (since alpha28.2)
Here is what i've done to replicate the issue:
Turn on the phone
Test if the speaker works by making a call
Plug the Headset (any headphones will work also)
listen to music, Fm Radio, even a call with the headset will work
Unplug the Headset or Headphones
Make a call
I've tried with the following ROMS:
FoxHound 1.6 to 1.8
Android Revolution HD 17 to 19
Stock
In all of these this issue appears only when i install the Perseus kernel, with siyah, ninphetamin3 and Stock everything works fine.
It's a shame because in previous releases this was my favorite kernel.
Hope i've been helpfull.

[BUG] telephone feature complete silent

Hi,
I am having a bug where the telephone feature gets completely silent. Means no one can hear me, I can hear no one, not even the free line signal. Everything else on the phone is fine.
I tried flashing different modems to no avail. Also I checked whether it's headphone related, but no.
If that bug happens, I have to completely reset the phone. After that, it works again.
Anyone here with similar symptoms and a possible fix? I don't want to reset my phone every six weeks..
I am running CM-10.1 from yesterday but it also happened with CM-10.0
[Q&A] altough Id love to help you I cant find anything related. Try a different, reflash gapps, try a megawipe. It is not rom related because otheres dont have the problem.
Also please, put questions where they belong, in the Q&A section of this forum, not in general. Hit the report button and ask for a move.
Kind regards,
Thomas

I have now resetted it (again) and it works as expected. The process with carbon is a bit easier, but still some manual configuration needed...
If it bothers me enough the next time, I'll try flashing stock.
Wrong modem.

[Q] touchwiz and headphone jack

hello,
so i have had my galaxy s3 for a couple months and it was working great up until recently.
Touchwiz works fine and doesnt freeze, until you plug something into the 3.5mm jack (be it headphones, speaker, aux etc.)
it took me a while to realise it was when i plugged in a jack that it would start playing up but iv tried a couple solutions that i will list below;
1)clear cache and data of touchwiz home
2) restart the phone
i dont really want to factory reset my phone to be fair i was hoping there was a solution without doing that,
so thats my problem id greatly appriciate any possible solutions as i will try them all
Thanks,
Terry.

disable page buddy from settings and try
which ROM are you on btw? is your phone rooted? did you install some mod after which this is happeing?
Its the stock ROM, yes it is rooted and the only sort of mod i got is stweaks.
I have tried deleting my un-necessary apps and have disabled 90% of the bloat-ware
that comes with the phone (flipboard, samsung app store etc.)
Thanks,
Terry.
Edit: page buddy is turned off and refuses to turn on for me to test it, i think touchwiz is trying to use it
and encountering a error maybe?
reflash your rom and factory reset. if it doesn't help - send it to service
I have the same issue. I reflashed my rom and it still did not fix the problem. Rooted using The People's Rom 17. I would also like help with this issue as well, thanks for any help.

[Q] i9300 microphone volume

I have a Galaxy S3 International model and the mike volume during calls is crap.
If I use an ear piece no problems,
if i use skype the hands free works beautifully.
If i use it normally or handsfree for an actual phone call i have to nearly yell into the phone to be heard.
I have tried *#*#197328640#*#* but can not get into the audio menu, that just doesnt work. Other menu items do.
The phone is rooted and I am using cm 10.2.
I have tried doing a factory reset and reloading the rom but no luck there.
have done lots of googling but most pages i have found talk of hardware faults or a blocked mike hole which isnt my issue as it works fine with the earpiece and with skype.
i have looked at the profiles, tried turning them on and off. I suspect that there must be a setting somewhere but damned if i can find it.
Anyone got any ideas ?
thanks
Go back to stock 10.1.2 and test, S3 has two microphones so skype isn't a valid test.
If problem is still there on stock then you need a service centre.
Built in mike has modifiers on stock rom in the default gain file . But as i understand it it does not apply or is a different file for Android roms .
jje
are you using a custom kernel? if so, that's what is tweaking your mic gain. try the proper kernel for your rom that allows audio tweaking or ones that are properly tweaked out the box
