One test with another headphone
Two test with stock rom on default settings

thnx bro am already do that as you say but i have Q is the service code can fix it

Four different sets used already and flashed stock so default settings already set. Depends were you are. Me I would go to local shop and get a good price from there. But ebay is cheap. I dont trust it though. No service code will fix hardware mate
I9100/I9300

I have this problem too, went through two sets of headphones, one new phone and one replacement part and the problem still happening In order to make it work I have to jiggle the connection in the phone till the sound comes on, then it will randomly just stop, no sound or it will just be crackly

Bad connection that is. Wiggle said it all. Replace or have the port looked at.

[Q] Speaker DEAD - Need Help !

Guys,
Just got my sgs2 yesterday. Rooted. everything was okay.
Then I wanted to set a ringtone + notification sound right.
Got into sound settings, ringtones and started to try them out.
at first there was sound and ringtones played, but then suddenly it stopped.
The speaker is dead - No sound at all. no shutdown sound, no usb connection sound, no ringer sound, no media sound.
Tried : Restart, Switching silent mode on/off, switching vibration on/off, FACTORY RESET, searching the hell out of the web to find a solution on this ...
Please help !
I'm with stock OS, phone bought in UK via clove.

Are you sure this is a hardware problem ?
p.s : It's really hard to return a product to a seller that is thousands of miles away.

We can't be sure, but what you've said indicates that something is wrong.
Have you considered a reflash with the stock Samsung firmware?
Also, given you have rooted, you might be best to use a Jig to reset the number of "non official" binaries flashed, so that it doesn't appear to have been rooted, as we all know what some places are like with rooting
A test play an MP3 file on your PC .
Transfer that to sd card then while sd card is connected try to play via pc by double click . then open my files navigate to the MP3 and play it .
jje
Well I've just reflashed the kernel (from the rooting procedure)
No go
Will try to flash the whole firmware - downloading ...
this is sooooooo frustrating !!!!!

worked well after the root. somewhere after just died ...

Okay, tried to flash the stock FM - flash went okay but the problem remained.
Flashed the newest firmware from sami with new pda, modem and csc - still not working
WTF !?!?!?

I think the same thing happened to me.
My sound from the normal speaker worked last night before I went to bed, I plugged it in and this morning my alarm didn't wake me up.
Headphone jack works
Headset speaker works
All sounds through the back speaker are a no go.
I tried reflashing a few different firmwares and still a no go.
Sucks theres no stock Bell firmware out because I can't get warranty until it is!
Damn

Hi there,
Got the same problem with my 3 days old (or rather: new) Galaxy Note!
Regards,
I sent my phone back to Samsung and they fixed it. It isnt a complicated repair it will void your warranty tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
your problem is that the phone thinks that a headset or headphone is inserted..... try to use ur headset to prove this....
get the app that disable headset/headphone and all ur media sound will go to your speakers. i had this problem too and the only solution ive found was the app.... its not a hardware problem but a system bug....... goodluck
Hey, I had the same issue. Just buy a new speaker. MODULE-SPK+INT GH59-10917A. Changing that is piece of cake.
Just check a youtube for howtos. Buying one should be like below $8 on ebay.
It took me only 10 minute to fix it (and 3 days of waiting for the mail to arrive
cheers

[Q] S2 hangs while playing music

Hi there,
I bought the galaxy s2 2 weeks back..and the problem that I am facing is whenever i use headphones for the music, after like 10 secs my phone hangs for some reason! I even return the set to samsung service centre they change the entire motherboard and everything but the problem is still there!!
Please Advise!
Thanks
Hani
I have the same problem too...i have to remove the battery and set it up again for rebooting....
I have no idea how to fix that but i think it's a ROM bug and updating to ICS will solve the problem

try any third party applications and check problem remains or not...
eg : trail versions of Power Amp or Player Pro
What ROM are you using? Stock or a modded one and GB (gingerbread) or ICS (ice-cream sandwich). Because modded versions have different fixes for them to get things to run stable.
PS
What strikes me strange about your post is you said you brought this to a Samsung service center and they replaced your motherboard.
This implies it's not a ROM/software problem.
Did you buy a used phone? Also I don't know any official Samsung Centers that will replace the mobo for you. They usually replace the phone for some hardware problems like that (but it's possible I guess).
**Because if the service center replaced it, and you still have that problem, then they either didn't do a good job (because they should have tested it to work), or you have some bad ROM flash.
cyberboob said:

Yes they do well posted on XDA .
**Because if the service center replaced it, and you still have that problem, then they either didn't do a good job (because they should have tested it to work), or you have some bad ROM flash.
Thats probably true as well .
OP suggest wipe phone and flash stock GB rom to test .
Of course it could be your music is the problem .

I had the exactly same problem plus bunch of others which led to service trip.
Phone went to local service center and came back repaired, only to work for two days.
They changed the earphone jack and speaker modules on the first run.
Second time it had to be sended to service it had problems witn wifi and bt.
They changed mobo.
Third time proximity and lightsensors didn't work so they replaced the phone.
Last time my phone hung, the problem was my modded earphones.
I ripped the original samsung earbuds and replaced them with KOSS portapro's.
I had miss-soldered positive and negative on other earpiece... I changed the polarity, and now everything works.
Mysterious...
Thanks for the info JJEgan on the mobo replacements. I guess it's a region/location thing. I traverse mostly from Taiwan and Japan, and they just replace units with any hardware problems after they check it.
Back to the OP:
The music plays fine when earphones not plugged in right? I asked a friend who works at a service center here and he says it can be either the earphone jack is faulty or not connected properly (inside case), or maybe you didn't insert your earphones all the way (lol that's a stretch but never know).

Have you tried another ROM, restore backup etc. In short, what measures have you taken on your own to troubleshoot this problem.
- yes, the phone uses another means/ Mic when you are using loud speaker

Unfortunatly i was out of the country when it happened so i was never able to claim warranty on the phone or anything so i've had to live with it.
I have tried everything i can think of to try and fix it. Different ROMS, diferent kernals, different modems. nothing has fixed it.
One thing to note, is that when i have headphones in, the mic is fine. Would the be some trickery i could pull to make the phone always use the loudspeaker microphone, even when in handset mode.
current rom is paranoid android 1.99 w/ dorimanx kernal.
i think that lower mic is used when speaker is off , but in speaker phone it uses the the upper mic.

Sorry about that.
Your own case looks like a definite hardware issue. Too bad you are out of country but if you can still visit any Samsung service center, you might be lucky. Those guys are always very nice and helpful to customers in my country even if you are out of warranty.

I've not flashed a newer ROM to see if is that yet as its my wife's phone and I've not had time to back it up before I flash.
I have the same phone and not had this problem
I've also posted in the neat ROM thread and no one has had the same issue
So if there is two mics do you think it could be broken

Since its your woman's phone and you can't probably flash a new ROM at this moment, fine.
I'll say, let's assume it's as hardware issue.
I'll advise flash back your stock original or officially update firmware, And just send it to service center for repairs like normal warranty claim.
Good luck

ok guys still need some help with this
things ive now tried

That seems really strange. May I please ask did you flash with odin or do you use something else? Are you using the default stock samsung rom or are you using a custom samsung rom? It may be a problem with the software, but I'm having a feeling that your headphone jack might be faulty (but i think its more to do with software). Try using a custom stock based rom like neatrom (by sale) if you haven't already used it yet.
Yes, i used odin and flashed stock rom
I thought that my headphone jack is broken, but i changed it, but problem didnt disapear
Ok, i will try flash some custom rom, thank you for your reply

Then probably something wrong with the earphone jack. I can't really help with that since I never seen this kind of issue before. You will just need to find a workaround and stay with that for now.

I think there's an issue with the jack connector on the motherboard. Look for shorts and/or dust.
In the meantime, use SoundAbout to fix the problem

Wipe chace dalvic ,reboot
I had this problem multiple times already (i think it was 3). I tried nearly everything, I actually installed stock MIUI, but it didn't work.
So what helped me, was just waiting. After about 24h, it suddenly worked again. I didn't find anything 'bout that problem on xda, so I just stopped searching for it, the other day it just worked again.
Good luck

Did you find some kind of solution to this problem? Because I'm facing it too and I don't know what to do. I've flashed MIUI latest dev but it did not solve it.. Someone suggested to try to flash miui 5.1.1 but i cant find it for my kate.

I found a solution on the Miui forum. The trick was to play an audio file and insert and remove the headphones as fast as possible several times. Apparently, the headphone jack gets blocked or dirty and the phone "thinks" the headphone is plugged and that's why no sound comes out of the speakers. So, at least for me, it wasn't a software issue....
Let me know if that works for you.

I had exactly the same problem. I've tried as you adviced and boom it works now. Thanks!
But I think that this is only a shorthanded victory, because if there is something in the jack, it will eventually block the contact again. So I wonder, is there some reasonable way to clear your jack and perhaps USB? I think that compressed air might do, but I don't know for sure.
Anyways thanks for fixing my sound again.
Have a nice day.

Your phone is stuck in headphone mode. Try to clean the headphone jack. If that doesn't solve the problem then use some app like SoundAbout or Audio Router.

Redmi note 3 pro new buzzer install not sound. Please help.
Hello friends. Note 3 I received a new speaker because my speaker from my pro phone failed, but it didn't work. I returned and changed the product, but it didn't even have a single sizzle. I've reinstalled the old speaker, but it's working fine even though it's broken. There is a technical detail to be done during the installation of the buzzer. For example, if the speaker is not installed after the vibration module has been removed before the speaker is installed, the speaker does not work. Note that the vibration module of Note 3 pro was not sticky. It's not directly connected to the motherboard.
