I recently noticed I wasn't getting any sound when I play Pandora. Also, my phone stopped ringing, speaker phone doesn't work. The only thing that works is vibrate. I did several hard resets and also wiped the phone from the bootloader. After hard resetting, and before installing any apps or making any changes to the phone, I tried calling myself to see if the speakers work, but they do not. I can make calls, so the earpiece works fine. Any ideas?
Update: Problem solved! I removed the battery 3 times before it eventually worked.
I have an idea!!!
Trying posting in the correct forum. That may yield you better results.
Hi, I'm running the AOKP JB Milestone 1 ROM on my Nexus. I dropped my phone in some water recently, and immediately switched it off and dried it. After a while, I switched it on and glory be, it was all working fine.
Except some notifications. At first I thought my speaker had broken, because it wouldn't play music or some notification tones (Whatsapp). But when I press the volume button, the beep is there. Plus when I receive texts and calls, the tones play. But the phone dialler tones, the UI 'clicks', my Whatsapp tones, Youtube videos and my music player do not work.
Something to do with 3rd party apps and the sound? Please help!
you should try going recovery, backup. then go reset to factory.
if it still does not work then it should be a hardware problem
terrible luck btw, but good luck!
Guys,
Don't know why or how this happened but from one day to another my tablet has lost the capacity to produce sound for example with music, youtube etc.. But the speakers DO work because when I press the shutter button on camera it makes the kwnown sound, when a notification arrives it sounds it and so forth....
I've changed roms, made factory reset, now I'm back with the stock samsung rom but still can't get sound to work with basically any applicacion.
With headphones there isn't a problem, its just the speakers. So weird.
Any ideas?

I have a feeling the speakers are damaged from water damage or something to that lines, this isn't fixable with software
Sometimes when receive incoming call, phone won't ring, just vibrate. That's happening randomly, sometimes it's ok for 2 days and then start, sometimes on every couple of calls, for 2-3 calls it's not ringing and then start to ring normally again... Of course, I'm not in silent mode, volume is set to max, when enter settings and select ringtone, it plays fine...
This start when I upgrade to Lollipop, on stock rom and custom roms, tried 4-5 roms, all Sense. I run RUU for couple of times, for clean start of new rom, my firmware is up to date, but it happens every time, so I think it is Lollipop problem, not rom.
Is anyone experienced this problem too, or know some solution?
Thanks.
So no one have this problem? For everyone phone rings fine every time?
Try to restart the phone. It will solve the problem for you. My wife's phone had same problem and that's what I did.
Yes, I restart the phone and the problem re-apear shortly, so that is not the solution.
m8 problem
I have the same fcking problem for over 2-3 months now and I think it's lollipop problem, it's very annoying every day I got dozens of missed calls ...i don't know what to do, did you find anything ?? Thanks
Did you set some ringtone which came with Lollipop, or some of yours personal ringtones?
I always use my ringtone, simple mp3 file, but I select one of pre-installed ringtone about 3 weeks ago and have no problem since. Don't know why, but it seems that Lollipop have some problems with some mp3 files. Those files plays perfectly well in any music app on phone, but if you set it like ringtone, sometimes ringing and sometimes not.
I found some program that helps to "convert files to Android-playable" so I convert my mp3 ringtone with that program (still mp3, but larger size) and will see if that helps.
I have done it today so must pass week or two to be sure if it helps or not, will post here.
So, my converted ringtone didn't work. Then I tried to put the mp3 file in to /system/media/audio/ringtones where the other ringtones are, but that didn't work either. I noticed that most of stock ringtones are in .flac format, so I converted my ringtone to .flac and it worked! My phone rings normally for 2 weeks now.
So, if anyone have problem with their custom ringtones, just convert them to .flac format with any sound converter on PC and that will be fine.
Ok I will do it your way, just to inform you, I did a factory reset for nothing same as before everything is working like, notification sound, message sound, music player but still no incoming sound, this is a really fcked up thing, it's nothing to repair the software is fcked up I guess,I am so dissapointed
Just convert your ringtone to .flac format with any free converter (ask Google), and it will be fine. For me, it's working over the month now.
The ringtone sound is fine now(tried it your way), but now I have another problem with mic, when someone tries to call me they can't hear me only on speaker mode, really mad now X(.
It might look silly, but try to make G calibration (Settings>Display & gestures>G-sensor calibration)
I was running Ressurection Remix 5.1.1 when I noticed there was no sound when a call would come in. I could answer the call and the conversation would be fine just no ringtones will play. I did a factory reset and clean installed and it work for a few hours and then stopped again. I then installed blisspop and the same thing. All sounds work except ringtones. When I go into setting and change the ringtone nothing plays as I choose differnt ones in the list that comes up. This is getting to be a real problem. I even tried wildkernel with no luck. My phone is an AT&T E980 US model.
