[Q] Galaxy S3 problem after another JB update - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Maybe someone could help me. After another new update of JB (I had 3 updates during last 3 months), under settings menu, in accessory, there is no earphones checkbox, I just realized, that it dissapeared, I don't know on which update it dissapeared.How can I resolve it.I added the picture. My Galaxy S3 isn't rooted.
Another thing I would like to ask is: Will mobile data turns off in sleep mode? If Yes - good, if No - how to do that?
Thanks

Why all ics switches to silent mode by itself

At least once a day, in all ics os's i tried on sveral devices. Looks like a bug in the os.

There is a setting in ics, called -i believe- quiet hours...check that see if it's perhaps default on?
Can't seem to find it in the settings.
Sorry, I'm on froyo now...I think it was under rom control if you're using a custom rom.

Solve the problem
Hi,
I had the same issue with my Galaxy Nexus but i found a way to solve the problem not permit solution but by using app called " Volume Locker " which will force the device to turn the volume up once it goes silent by sudden.
I am having this problem since galaxy s2. The mobile automatically switches between silent, ringtone, and vibration mode. I think one or 2 apps might be causing this behavior. Really annoying

SGS3 problem with losing all sounds

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?

Xperia S vibration disfunctioning

Hi,
My Xperia S suddenly quit vibrating at all, not for (text) msg's, incoming mail/sms etc, and haptic feedback for the 3
bottom keys doesnt work as well as that for the keyboard. Yesterday for some reason it stopped, but after a while it
returned. However, atm there's no vibrating at all again, which is annoying since I dont like to check everytime if I have a
msg or not.
I did not turn it off myself, and checking the settings it's still on. Furthermore nothing happened to the phone in terms of
mechanical damage. I did not recently (last few days) install new apps, but updated to firmware 6.1.A.2.45 5 days ago.
I dont think that has anything to do with the problem though, since the problem occurred only yesterday.
Phone software is just the original stock software.
Anyone recognizing this problem and perhaps has an idea on how to solve it? I'd be very thankful...
Thanks in advance,
Nanoxy
Send it to Sony to repair vibration.

Hm actually I hoped it could be some software bug... I wouldnt be happy to
send it to sony etc... too much trouble
Isnt there some code I can dial to check if vibration works at all? I think I read somewhere about it but cant find it now...
And, if I use "back up and repair" function of pc companion, and repair using a back up of lets say 1 week ago, will I lose any data?
I mean of course I lose things I did this week, but for the rest are there things I should know before trying this?
Same here ever sinceci updated to ics ( any chance you live in belgium too)?

The Netherlands, so close...
But well, total reset + restore with back up does not help... I find it hard to believe that its a hardware problem though...
how's that possible for no reason :s

Yeah mine worked all the time, but stopped working at a moment not close to an update...
besides, vibration is not AT ALL working... I cant even force it to vibrate after installing some
of those sad "vibrator" apps or whatever... I'm afraid the only thing I can do is let it repair, which totally sucks.

Yeah thats what I meant, but... if I choose vibration at "service tests" it wont work...

I dont think that has anything to do with the problem though, since the problem occurred twice week.
Then security screen lock's not work. I check the setting slide is still on. So, Why that not working?

[Q] Strange sound problem

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.
