Hey there, new on xda (newbieee). So I bought a Sgn2 last march end rooted it from a stock rom. Everything was perfectly fine until yesterday when the external speaker suddenly stopped working at all. No notifications, no media sounds, nothing happens. I've ben reading other theads/foruns and already tryed things like put the headphones in and out the jack, factory reset and return to a stock rom. Now I have a stock rom 4.1.2 ZTO (Brazil) and the problem still persists. When I run the hardware test (*#0...) , the speaker does not respond yet. Anyone with similar issue? And now a totally noob question... Could a stock kernel cause some conflict? Install a new stock (another countries) rom with brand new kernel could solve it or it's hardware issue no matter what??? Sorry if thread is misplaced and thank you all if have any suggestion.
I would go back Stock and take phone back to Store and have them look at it

Hello all,
Is anyone or has anyone a problem with the car notification popping up? I was told from another member that it might have something to do with the latest radio? I thought it was due to my ROM or I wiped everything and tried to flash another, only to have the same problem. When in this mode the data connections play up and when I exit out of this mode the program I am in crashes and I end up looking at the today screen! Is or has anyone had this problem and is there a fix?
I try and stay stock and as I said I have tried another ROM but yet to downgrade the radio as my battery is loads better on the new one. I am starting to think the problem might be hardware,I hope however not..
Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Every so often the sound on my phone will just not work. No clicks when pressing things, no music will work in the music player, no YouTube video will play, no ringtones, message tones... Nothing! It's annoying cause it's started doing it a lot. My phobe is rooted and has a custom bin count of 3, so I can't take it back to the shop I usually take it to to try and find some sort of fix.
Do any of you guys ever had this problem, and if so, how can you fix it? Restarting the phone sorts it out, but it srill end up doing it again eventually...

have u flashed any rom .. ???
Already got the lastest firmware, or so I think, for Britain - XXLA2. And I do have a custom ROM, but it used to do it before I rooted and started installing custom ROM's. I got the phone early January and it's always done it, just not often but it's done it 4 times already today!

please flash with odin once more. don't use the custom rom.
I don't think it will be my ROM though cause nobody else has ever mentioned it and I've always had the sound problem. I'm using ChobitsDigitalis v1.6

well...some of my friend said that they have these problem when they install a custom rom on their device. this problems comes when the custom rom and our device has different baseband series.
Use the stock firmwares from Dokys thread and reflash again..it must fix the issue..
If youre using titanium backup to freeze bloatwares, dont freeze DRM content as some have reported their ringtones and notification tones messed up..
Hi guys, i have just encountered this problem, it was fine in the morning but gone wrong later then. The calling audio is not working and also the no sound from callers when answer the call. However Everything works fine, The in-call vol is max, songs can be played, calling using speaker on is viable as well as when headset is put on. The normal call is just not working even though it is factory reset
Mind to figure out what problem is this? thanks!

Try flash the latest radio , and another kernel , if this doesn't work you should send back you phone . Have you been in a high humidity environment or drop water on in ?

Same here. Any ideas yet??
Hi everyone!
I took some time this weekend to look into this problem again. I tried different roms, including different ICS and JB and even went back to stock (nand backup from first day). No success, still no sound from the front speaker when calling.
While flashing i tried both with sim card in the phone and without, i always did full wipe and flashed boot.img from fastboot. Still not working. No app that needs this speaker works, i also tried skype and talk. So i am out of options now. Is there anything i can do? Would it help to flash a different kernel?
I guess the hardware got broken somewhere along the line. Would HTC fix it under warrenty? Does anyone have experiences with that?
Thanks again for all your kind help! I know this might be cross posting but im going to try and get my problem solved in other threads as well.
Regards heintosz..

I had the same issue and got it fixed at the HTC service center. I also had wifi fixed and changed my LCD since there were yellow spots on my screen. Since the phone was under warranty everything was done for free.
Ok thanks, i will try HTC sercive center nearby. Though im on unlocked, rooted device so im not sure how they will react... will report!

You'll probably want to return it to stock to make life easier.
Hi,
I unlocked my phone on the very 3rd day I bought it and now its over a year old phone which has seen many custom rom installations.
Recently, I tried to install jb 4.3 and everything worked well for 2-3 days then the problem started, suddenly there was no sound from external speakers, tried few other roms..same problem. Then downgraded to 4.1.2 sound started coming back in patches. Sometimes I get to hear the ringtone but sometime no sound. I also realized that as soon as I install Apex launcher the sound dies and uninstalling it doesn't help.
I really don't know the exact problem if nAa 3.4.55 and above versions are culprit or Apex launcher or hardware problem.
Some useful insight is welcome on the issue.
Regards

Yes tried everything to my best of knowledge. But its not helping. The external speakers have developed a mind of their own...they start and stop on their own wish.

Prob some hardware problem
Sent from my LT18i
My external speaker stopped working, and I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software issue. The phone doesn't ring, and if I try and play anything through the external speakers no sound comes out. My headphone jack is working, and I'm able to make/hear calls.
I'm running CM 10.1.3, and I've been running this rom without any problems for a while. In trying to fix/troubleshot this issue I ran across the Galaxy S3 hardware test via the phone/dialer *#0*#, but this doesn't work in CM. Is there any way to check hardware in CM? Or does anyone know how to fix this if it is indeed a software problem?
I've checked all my volume settings and tried the following:
Rebooting
Re-installing CM, multiple versions
Pulling the Battery
Sounds like some kind of hardware failure. Flash back to stock after you do a nandroid to make sure.

It seemed like a hardware issue to me too, then I did a factory reset and flashed a stock 4.3 ROM and the sound magically started working again!
Did you have the "Silent" profile on when on Cyanogenmod?
