So recently my S3 i9300's camera and speakers (front and back) broke for unknown reasons - maybe because it fell down?
Now my problem is that, someone told me that a broken cam and speaker will not cause any problem in the software side (except cam which will cause an error) but the problem is that eventhough its on the hardware side, my phone does not, cannot play online streaming videos through FB or Youtube or any online streaming site/app, and it also does not play mp3 music as when I try to play anything using any music app, an error saying that the app has stopped.
The good thing is that I am able to play videos of mp4 or avi format that is SAVED on my sd card using mx player app.
My question is, do you think it has something to do with the motherboard of the phone that causes the phone to not play mp3 or stream videos online?
Repairing the mother board is very costly so I am worried it might be the cause.
Any idea whats wrong with my phone?
Please, I need help to soothe out my worries...
Thank you and may God bless your helpful soul.
And it seems like my front speakers dont work too causing my phones calls to drop and when trying to call through viber app or Facebook messenger app, it wont work and the call just drops... Help

ok so it's probably hardware related if you search on Google there are loads of tutorials/videos on how to repair your phone also check out eBay for any spare parts you might need. This all depends of course on how good you are at repairs good luck ☺
Have you tried to reinstall a Stock with Odin? I had last week a similar problem and I had reinstall the StockRom for S3 and it worked again. After it works I had switched back to my favorite ROM ArchiDroid and all works properly.
What firmware did you use? Can you send me a link?
I have tried to flash stock 4.3 firmware with odin but it just made my phone LAG A LOT AND REBOOT A ALOT TOO... I dont know whats the problemm... Maybe I have a different s3 model and I have flashed an i9300 firmware on it that made the cam and speakers to not work??
Help
So I have a S3 and I am totally not sure if its the original I9300 or SHW M440S... I have flashed stock I9300 4.3 firmware and the result was a laggy firmware and my phone kept rebooting. I wasnt the first to own this phone, my uncle did and he said he just flashed the old i9300 4.3 firmware and the problem has occured which is a broken camera (cant connect to camera), not working speakers and headphone jack and mic...
Normally I would just get it fixed but.. Because of the broken cam, speakers and mic, my youtube or any online streaming videos does not load and mp3 musics dont play as the player apps force close when i press play...
Again, a broken hardware does not affect the software so I am not sure if it is really the hardware or I just flashed the wrong kernel on the wrong phone.
Has anyone ever tried to flash a I9300 4.3 official firmware on a S3 SHW M440S?
Did you get the same result as I did?
Do you recommend me to flash a SHW M440S firmware on my s3 just to check? Will it not brick my phone?
Please help me out..
Thanks and God Bless

Hi everybody.
After installing the Omega ROM 5.2, my SGS III is not able to play videos with flash!!!! It´s so terrible for me because I always watch tv on streaming, which need flash player app. I've installed/unistalled the app lot of times from market and using my Titanium B. backup and I don't know what more can I do. Please anybody has experimented something similar???? I'd be so glad if anybody could tell me any solution for this enormous problem . Thanks a lot!!!! Sorry for my English : P
Even on stock Rom flash player is buggy on the S3. Videos will freeze midway through while sound continues to play. But it seems nobody here is bothered by this problem.

Yh i was wondering what was up with that. Also double tapping the video doesnt format the video to the correct size. I remember the gs2 running 2.3 and flash was almost flawless.

Might sound obvious, but have you actually installed Adobe Flash Player from the market?
In the SG3 Known Faults thread, Baldilocks tells us that the very latest ROM, XXLAF6, appears to fix the flash problem (at least, he tested it and couldn't find any fault). So there is hope!

Hey guys
i have a Problem with the Playback from some mp3's.
So i open the file with the standard player, it say's: "This type of Audiofile can't be played"...
But if i open the Audiofile over the "Root Explorer", it will be played with this player.
What is it?
Any other App from the Store make exactly the same bug...
The exactly same file's was played on ICS without any failure... but Jelly Bean??
In hopes that the new firmware (1.14.401.18) will fix the problem, i had flash the Revolution HD 4.0 Rom but this is not the case...
What can i do?
It is not acceptable! Such problems were among the old Windows Mobile 6 times...
PS: The Custom Rom is NOT the Problem. I have this Bug since i unpacked the One x+...
I have no problem with music (FLAC or MP3) at all, so it must be a problem on your side (ROM, other installations, MP3 or anything)... Not a general HOX+ problem...

Sure?
Look at the Changelog from the xxx.18 Firmware, if you're on the xxx.16 and get the official update...
"fix Problem's with mp3-Playback"...

According to your post I should have problems with .16 firmware, but I don't have any issues Sound quality is fine as well, bluetooth no problem and sound very well...
I am on .16 and now have just the update for .6 available... where can I see the changelog for updates?

You must download it and where you can choose to install or abort this Update, you see the little List of change's...
The one Point with the mp3's fix was the reason for me, to risk to flash an custom rom because i have only rooted it before.
I must correct me:
The MX Player, rather a Video Player, is able to play the MP3's. All now, without issues..
But not the "Beats" player from HTC, wich is perfectly integrated... Damn it!!
Can anybody help me??
Please

You know?
I hope, that the Revolution 5.0 fix it now...
i will be trying to flash it today
I have over 300 MP3 files and no problem playing them with the stock HTC player.
Many players will only work with standard bit rates and ID3 tags. If any are not using the proper standard it might fail to play.
The reason other players are working is most likely they are ignoring the bad data or will play nonstandard bit rates.

You may be right, these files have different bit rates... -> but why can i play since gingerbread all mp3's without any failure?
and now makes JB difference between the rates?
What goes wrong with my Stock-Player?
PS:
In hope that the Problem solve itself, i waiting for Revo 5.1 and a working download-server...

Hey guys im pretty new to this, i have been running my xperia U (rooted) on the old gingerbread for sometime now, finally bit the bullet and unrooted it and upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 via SCC. I quite like ICS its smoother and the phone runs faster (although battery life now suffers) the only issue i am having is I cant play videos on my phone; this includes camera video in the gallery and embedded videos on the browser. I have factory reset about 100 times still hasnt worked and have tried installing adobe air, flash etc still nothing. When i click on a video in the gallery for example i try touching the play button but nothing happens, the thumbnail and video still image is fine just there is no response from touching the play button.
Am i missing something? or am i being a complete tool, iv looked all over the forums for help on this but everyone else seems to be getting some kind of error message, mines just doesnt respond to the touch....
Help please! appreciates
thanks
Chris
please!
Maybe there is a problem in lib.
Sory for my bad English.
Press thanx if i helped.

hey mate thanks for the reply, everyone has recommended this but i dont like having apps on my phone that i really dont need i should be able to use the stock player, but its unresponsive. this goes for embedded vids too!
ALSO
i tried re installing firmware, got it working again but then as i was using Titanium back up to remove the bloatware it stopped working (also made sure i didnt accidently remove important files or programmes that the video player is dependant on...) im stumped! not a disaster but i like to watch the office before i go to sleep at night hahahahah
UPDATE- Found the problem i deleted the "movies" app in titanium which stops the videos from playing in the gallery, what sort of stupid **** is that!
basically I got a second hand samsung galaxy s2 recently.
Everytime I load it up it says camera fail.
I can't use instagram or snapchat.
When I make a video or a non video call on skype it cuts out straight away.
However I can record and send videos on skype (so assumably the front camera is ok?)
is there anyway to set the instagram/snapchat cameras to front camera so that I can use them the same way that the skype video works.
I am running cyanogen mod 10.2
issue was present before rooting.
