Jesus, this is the second failure on my xperia. First time was lucky still within year warranty. Suddenly stopped turning on. Local repair told no reason why.

Be Sure its speaker, for 2 days my speakers were not working but then i recognized that somehow it is taking the headset connected all time.
Call a number then turn on the loudspeaker to check..

Did you check if it works with the alarm sound at the Volumes section in Settings -> Sounds?
If it did work, it's a problem with audio mods as it somehow interferes with the speaker's behavior...
If you didn't install any audio mods, then it's likely to be a hardware problem ( " -_-)

[Q] No sound during a phone call

I'm having an issue with my Xperia Play. During a phone call, I usually don't get sound unless I switch to speaker mode or I plug in earphones.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it only works after I switch back and forth the speakermode.
I wonder if it's a hardware or software issue. Anyone could help ?
edit: I think I had this issue after rooting and unlocking the bootloader but I can't be sure because I didn't spend a lot of time with the phone locked down.
edit2: I rooted by flashing Bin4ry's package. I read a bit about that and it seems it can have a negative effect on the baseband version not being the right one for my 2.3.3 firmware ?
Here are my version numbers:
Build: 4.0.A.2.368
Kernel: Doomlord #3
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-20302204-36
Bumping just in case. Someoe knowledgeable could see it.
I upgraded with flashtool to 2.3.4 and the issue is still there.
No sound during a phone call
Hello I have this issue too, I hope someone will recognize my post
While I dial a phone and press call (then earphone turns on) I hear a GSM signal sound (same as if you hear your phone signal in a PC speakers) instead of voice.
In service menu if I press Earphone test i hear this high frequency sounds too.
I HAVE already REPLACED BOTH CABLES WHICH CONNECT EARPHONE AND MOTHERBOARD (1.flex and 2. the one with front camera and earphone included).
So cable replacement DID NOT SOLVE it.
I thought it is SW stuff, but I FLASHED .62 ROM but it is STILL SAME.
New .80 BASEBAND DIDN'T HELPED to me.
Last time my GSM signal was crashing sometimes, If I tried to connect manually it told me that my sim card is not allowed to connect to my operator... something like that
my phone R800i and I don't remember when it started, I think in the morning after party last month
Any ideas what to do guyz? :crying: :crying:
Really want to solve this :cyclops:

Probably if you return to the Stock Version. Also make you have not by accidentally damaged the earpiece with water, even if you were sweating from you ear or something because it might not always be the cables that are wrong but some other HW problem.

Hello, I wrote it all in a previous post, my earpiece is new and .62 is stock ROM, In my opinion there is some HW problem in gsm signal modulation. I was in a smartphone-repair shop and they told me it will cost too much. I think this is the weakest point of XPLAY, because my friend has XPLAY too and while he dial a number and start calling, phone screen turns black and no hardware keys can wake up the screen..
Then I discovered only power button works here after checking ''Power button ends call'' in Accessibility settings. But it is still annoying.
But my problem is not solved, I have to phone with headphones connected or with rear speakers as audio output :/
hi please help
i have this problem No sound during a phone call please help
News?
Any news about this issue? There is load of threads about an ear speaker, I can still hear only GSM signal beep in it

Galaxy Nexus speaker - no sound

I have a really strange problem - my phones speaker has stopped playing all notification sounds and ringtones, but the earpiece speaker is still functioning fine. I've tried almost everything but it doesn't seem to fix it. I've tried:
-Reflashing the image from Google official
-Flashing a non-official image
-Wiping and flashing the Google image
-Those applications that "force" sound out of the speaker in case a headset is in.
Has anyone here had any similar issues and any success resolving it?

In a call, does loudspeaker work?
I had the opposite problem. My earpiece wouldn't work, but my loudspeaker would. Sent back to where i got it from, they deemed to faulty and sent out a replacement.

Nope - it thinks it is on the loudspeaker but there is just silence. Pity, the warranty has recently run out for me! I might have to crack it open and make sure nothing is loose.

You may need a replacement then as it sounds like you've tried all other attempts, just had a look on ebay and they are fairly cheap anywhere from $10-20 for a replacement speaker.
same thing just happened to my phone. Was playing a game when the sound was cutting in and out. Noticed later that the sound from the speakerphone stopped working completely (i can still use the headpiece or headphones).
Is the speaker/vibration assembly connected by one cable? I assume if the phone still vibrates and the headphone jack works, it's just a problem with the speaker and not some kind of connection problem.
i have this problem. Fix with SoundAbout app.

[Q] Xperia S earpiece not working during calls, sound comes from back of phone

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my Xperia S that started manifesting itself a few days ago. Basically when I receive a call the sound doesn't come out of the earpiece but instead comes from the back of the phone, as if the loudspeaker was being used, but very quietly.
I don't believe this is a headphone issue as I've never used headphones on my Xperia S.
The earpiece works under normal phone conditions, e.g. Turning volume up on the home screen producer a bleep as normal.
Turning on loudspeaker during a conversation will basically make the sound already coming out the back of the phone go loud as is expected when activating the loudspeaker option.
Has anyone else ever experienced this or know of a fix?
I have already tried the 'plug headphones in and out repeatedly' fix which hasn't worked.
I don't think detecting the headphones being plugged in is the issue.
Any advice welcome!
Does anyone think this could be a software issue? Someone in the Sony Forums has recommended doing a repair on my phone, which just means flashing a firmware file to the phone. I can do that, but it doesn't seem like that would be the issue, would it?

[Help] Galaxy A3 Speakers Bug

Hello my friend has a Samsung A3 2017 and he said that the speakers are not working.
He can receive calls but do not hear them incoming because Speakers have some bug. No water or phone dropped on ground / any physical problem.
I told him to try the dial code *#7353# to test the functionality.
He replied that the
1. Melody works fine, the music is played
3. Speakers doesnt work at all.
This is probably some software bug, he already resetted the device without success. Any similar problems?
Thanks in advance

I actually had the same problem in my a7 2017, just randomly the speaker stopped working. I tried factory resetting it with no success, then turned it off for a while and rebooted in secure mode. Then the speaker worked again. It happened again a couple days ago and I tried the whole secure mode again. It didn't work. Then I turned my phone off and waited a couple of minutes. Turns out that to fix the problem, you only have to turn the phone off for about 5-10 minutes and reboot. This fixes the problem, but I still don't know what causes it
Do a hard reset and restore your phone to its initial configuration.
Hard reset stepsMod Edit
In this way, any app interfering with your sound and speaker settings should be deleted.
Just had the same issue on the most recent stock 8 ROM. Turning it off for ~10min cleared the issue. Is the root cause already known by now?

Maybe headphone jack is damaged from water. Try a phone call with and without speakerphone.

Hi, sorry I missed it somehow back then and just noticed it... better late than never. The phone is actually being used w/o headphones (perhaps only by previous owner if at all). Fortunately the issue has never come back since then. When it was still there a phone call would only have one way audio while on speakerphone (Tx only) and switching to the earpiece would fix Rx.
So, I just got a SM-A520F with a similar issue - speakers simply emit loud a white noise instead of Ringtones, Notifications, Youtube, Music, etc. I tried the dial code *#7353# and was surprised to see that melody works fine.
Had no issues at first, flashed the official Lineage 17.1 - still everything a okay. I decided to try Magisk, and that's when the problem started. I went back to stock android, but the problem is still there.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
--Edit--
I just restarted the phone with earphone plugged in. This seems to work for now. I will see for how long this will work & report back later.
--Edit 2--
No further problems. I reinstalled Magisk, everything still seems to work. Booting the phone with earphones plugged indeed fixed the issue, hope this will may help someone in the future.

Pixel XL - No sound from speakers

Alright guys, I've got a problem I haven't quite dealt with before:
I've got no sound coming from my "external" phone speakers. The in-ear speaker works fine, and so does the mic. That means I can take phone calls just fine. Listening to Whatsapp voice messages is a challenge because Whatsapp uses the speakers which means the message plays with no sound, that is until I hold the phone to my face and the prox switch tells the app to play through the ear speaker. No YouTube videos or Snapchat sounds.
I looked around the forums and such but didn't find anything. I've checked all the system settings I know to check, but nothing I can find is "muting" the sound. My apps list is fairly standard. Stock rom and kernel, unlocked since day 1 but without even a recovery installed. Basically a factory phone.
What are you guys thinking? I'm happy to try basically anything. Even thinking of slapping a ROM into this beast to see what happens, although I doubt there's too much development going on for a 2yo phone...
Cheers!
Update:
I've got intermittent sound. I haven't opened the phone and have no reason to think water ingress could be the problem, but I can't think of a reason that the speakers would work intermittently. Sounds more like a hardware problem than a software problem to me. Anyone else?
It also happened to me except I didn't have any sound coming from both speaker and the earpiece. Not sure what happened though.

Well it only has one speaker. As for the others most likely hardware related.

Weirdly, I'm stuck in unreliable-sound limbo. I get sound most of the time, but speaker sound disappears occasionally with no predictability that I've found. Interestingly, If I mash or smack the bottom of the phone phone screen by the speakers, sometimes sound will come back on briefly or entirely. Weird, huh? Not sure what could be causing a connection problem. Maybe I'll open up the phone eventually and find out.
