[Q] back flash & speakr stop working - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi everyone,
i have s3 i747 at&t.
after upgrading to StockMOD ROM 4.3 rls 2.1 (from rls2) my speaker started to make crackling sounds and sometimes even very low siren sounds. so i tried to go back to rls2 but it doesn't help - the sounds continued, so i decided to go back to stock and now not the camera flash or the speaker working.
can some one help me?
here is some things i also tried:
1. to put the speaker in another phone and it worked perfectly.
2. the aux (headphone connection) works perfectly.
3. to install a new speaker in the phone and it won't work.
4. factory reset.
can some one please give some ideas about what might be the problem?
thanks

[Q] Please help!!! MIC is breaked after Update...

Hi ll,
I really out of ideas here .
I was running Pays 1.9 Bravesoul ROM without any issues for about 4 months on my unbranded Desire(HBOOT 0.75)!
Today I decided to update to Froyo.
I used Rom Manager to upgrade to OpenDesire 3.03 and Radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.
Every thing went well, except that I noticed that the MIC doesn't work at all.
Not when I make or receive a call, Not if I try to Mute/Unmute it, Not if i try to Record sound, or Video or WHATEVER!!! The only way the other side can hear me is trough my BT headset.
So I tried to use the LeeDroid 1.7a ROM but same result. Also tried to use different Radio - 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.
I then Nandroid restore to my 1.9 Pays rom (Wiping Data+Cach+ext), but still doesn't work. I tried different Radios:
32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
same thing...
I finally Unrooed my Desire to v1.15.4 Radio 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11 without any luck!
So I'm pretty hopeless Please if someone also have / had this issue, Please share!
Thanks!
sounds to me like it's broken mate
i know it's coincidence that it broke as you changed ROM but if it doesn't work on anything there's no explanation
have you tried a hard reset + clearing caches?
if you have then unroot your phone, put it back to your original RUU for warranty purposes and sent it back for repair
by what do you mean Hard Reset?
I wiped all data, I've changed roms.
Currently It's unrooted...
Is it possible for the Radio update to do this? (all the updates went without a hitch)
Or maybe the OpenDesire ROM (I see that v3.03 is removed, do you know why?) did this?
There is no way it a coincidence. I making phone calls all the time, The update took me about 15 min, after which I tried the Video camera and noticed there was no sound...
Thanks!
well, I noticed that the mic works, but extremely week! I really need to shout in order to hear a whisper... I do this in recording...
I'm starting to believe that maybe it's the mimbrein (Or the piezzo) that is ruined inside the mic...
Is it possible to control the gain in software? (Is there still a chance that the S.W upgrade caused this?)

[Q] Can't hear anything when making calls!! HELP!

I probably messed up my phone right when i flashed a radio.img
I honeslty didn't know what I was doing and need major help. I can place calls and calls will go through but i am not hearing anything through the speakers nor can they hear me.
I went back to the toolkit and just flashed everything back to stock but still has the same problems at the moment =(
need help please!
okay, after couple flashes... i can at least hear the others voice but my mic is not working at all. what can fix this issue?
What kind of radio did you flash? One that was for your device, i.e. a gsm radio on a gsm device, or a cdma radio on a verizon device? Maybe it's something simple like lint in the microphone hole. You phone's status connects to your mobile network? Try a recording program to see if its limited to the phone.apk, or if its all microphone input. If not, did you try wiping caches and even a factory reset? Maybe you'd need a reflash of the system.img, if you have not reset it since flashing an (assumed) incorrect radio.

I flashed the one specifically for my phone. The verizon Gnex and the radio was for the LTE. I took the radio.img from the verizon samsung galaxy nexus development section as well.
After that I booted it to recovery, did all the steps like wipe cache and dalvik and installed the custom rom, gapps, kernel, and then the radio.
Would that have triggered it?
Are both the custom ROM and radio 4.2.2and for Toro?
Did you clean flash the ROM?
Did you restore apps via titanium?
Does the error happen is you don't have any apps installed?

I am having intermittent issues where I can't hear anyone nor can I play back videos or music either. It sounds like our issues are similiar. I am on a VZW gnex and I went from stock, unrooted, locked, 4.1.1 to the OTA leaked 4.2.2 and my phone has been crazy ever since. My keyboard will go up and down and up and down randomly, my speakers won't work randomly, and my phone freezes up occasionally. Have you tried flashing the 4.1.1 radios back? So far I haven't went back to 4.1.1, because I don't want to wipe my phone.

The rom and radio was for the 4.2.2 and specifically for the Toro.
I did a clean flash, making sure everything was wiped and formatted before flashing any roms
I did not restore any apps via titanium as i just wanted to have a feel of the custom rom before adding any extra apps.
i believe it may just be the device's problem... i got a re-manufactured GNex from asurion since my original had a huge crack =(
Just to make sure if anything was wrong, i did a Nandroid back up from my original working gnex and transferred everything over to the new GNex asurion sent me. But nothing seemed to fix the problem

I unlocked and rooted my phone first thing I got it from Asurion. When i had received the GNex, it was on 4.1.1 and i was able to make calls and everything was fine until I tried to flash 4.2.2 . I reflashed it back to stock settings of 4.1.1 and that should have fixed and flashed the 4.1.1 radio back. I even went to the length of making a Nandroid back up from my original cracked GNex and flash it over to the new device and that sure did not help the problem as well.
All in all, I called Asurion that my microphone is broken and expected to receive another device by Tuesday. I even asked if they can send me a brand new one since the refurbished was not working as "new". Hopefully I get a brand new one.
Even though I will be getting a new one, i was wondering why or how this could have happened. Software related or was it just the phone itself that just crapped on me

@mrxtokki - Well, in your case it sounds like you are fortunate and have insurance so you're getting a new device, or at least a replacement. However, in case you were wondering, I think I may have found the solution. It appears as though your phone might have a faulty headset jack which causes the speaker and earpiece not to work. There is an app in the PlayStore called SoundAbout, that can disable wiredheadset detection and keeps the phone strictly on speaker and earpiece. This fixed my problem. Here is the thread that I found the solution from:

speaker doesn't work after 4.4.4 update...help

I did a hard reset on the phone and it worked. thanks man.
After upgrading to version 4.4.2 my ZL was no longer turn on and had to carry it to the service. Since then, I use firmware 4.3 and believe that constant updates reduce system stability. Greatly reduced.
audio issues since 4.4.2 upgrade

Problems with audio in calls from handset since changing to 5.0gpe

sorry if this is abit long winded,
hey everyone, not sure whats going on here. this is the tmob variant but i had moved over to a gt-i9505 rom dandroids stock gpe 5.0 back almost a month ago, this was upgraded from jamals 4.4.4 gpe which was working great. i installed the googly 1.2.3d kernel and that was also working well. i noticed that i forgot to fully reset all my storage and noticed jamal brought out a 5.0 rom so i swaped to that and wiped everything about a week ago and at first didint notice any issues.
then i recived a call and answered it on the handset and for the first few mins it was working fine all of a sudden something glitched and i had no audio like the call droped i hung up called back no audio. reset the phone same thing. just a day before this happened i updated the kernel to 1.2.5 googly for gpe5, so i figure this is it so i reflash and reset storage and no change. oddly this entire time there have been no problems with calls when using my bluetooth headset.
long story short i have installed and wiped one about 3 different roms including the dandroid that was working ok. i am now all the way back to the 4.4.4 jamal rom that i was on before i started and the problem is persisting. when i call someone the other party hears a high pitch squealing sound but only via the handset the "ok google" is working fine. i have not restored the nandroid backup yet.
baseband is m919uvufnb4
i have the current version of the twrp as what i have been installing everything from.
happy to provide more info. i know im still on the pre knox bootloader
and when i get home im going to try my wife sim see if that changes anything.
Update
Wife's sim changed nothing
Also wanted to say that I also read about a apn reset trick that was supposed to help. I did fix it one time but it recurred again and and since stopped working
Having that same issue gpe 9505 5.0 no audio in calls unless I'm using Bluetooth no handset no speaker
You guys Ned to update your bootloader and everything will be fixed.
You can only get so far with ancient bootloaders before the wheels come off.

How do you do that
You need to Odin the latest version NK2, you can find it in general section, ShinySide has a mega link to download firmware.
Follow instructions and you will have a S4 that works properly.
You can use chainfire's auto root in original development to root.

Android 6.0 CFW - No sounds & can't call / be called

Hello @ all !
Since the update to Android 6.0 there are no more sounds.
Everything in connection with sound don't work. When i change volume level, there is no "beep" ton.
Also i can't call or can be called. When i try to call it freeze, only power menu to restart works. When somebody trys to call me, it's like my phone is off, but it's on.
I am registerd to the network, so i can send and reach sms / use the internet.
I tried the ROM from Leedroid , ViperRom , RevolutionHD and MaximusHD. ( FULL WIPE etc. i tried every option.... )
When use the CandySix Rom, i have sound and i can call...
Would be great if anybody could help me.
THX A LOT!
I think I may have the same issue. I purchased a used M9 of AT&T variant. I know it had sound as the first time I booted it I heard the ATT boot sound. I never used the phone though and I immediately entered fastboot and changed it to a developer edition (the phone was already s-off and unlocked) I then installed LeeDroid via TWRP. The rom works fine but I have no sound at all from internal speakers or headphones. I also tried ViperOneM9 with the same result. I have not yet tried CandySix, but I will.
The only thing that is different fro me is that I don't have a sim yet for my carrier so the phone isn't yet registered. It is on wifi though. No sounds work at all. Touch sounds, volume rocker sounds, notifications, music also doesn't play from mp3's I have on my sd card (they actually don't seem to even start as the time counter doesn't ever start even after hitting pause and play)
Any Ideas at all?
-J
Take a look over in the LeeDroid thread. You need to flash the latest firmware before installing the HTC MM based ROMs.
it's awlays common sense to read the OP. especially when there is a major upgrade like from lollipop to marshmallow where the whole firmware is changed/modified . be always sure to run latest firmware when trying to use latest roms. aosp/cm are a different story, for them it doesn't matter if lollipop firmware or MM is used
