So two days ago I rebooted my phone and it went into Safe Mode. I'd seen this happen on the Fascinate so I just rebooted thinking nothing of it. On reboot, I still had all of my apps downloaded, but a lot of the settings had been erased. No problem, I restore everything from TiBu.
Well... My rear speaker won't work... Rings, alerts, and speaker phone.
If I made a call, the small speaker for my ear in fromt works just fine.
Has anyone experienced this? I'm going to flash MNMLTweak over the weekend, so we'll see if a fresh wipe and reflash will fix.
P.S. I didn't drop the phone or anything. I've flown four times so far this week though...think the change in cabin pressure could have done this?
It simply doesn't ever come on?

The change in pressure, if anything, would have just blown it. It sounds disconnected to me.

I think so too... I'm hoping it's not hardware, as this happened after a Safe Mode that wiped a ton of settings, etc.. I'm debating flashing Tweak right now.

Yeah, I think you have multiple issues going on. I would try flashing back to stock first, possibly with the PIT file. I would try to revert to stock EE4 w/o PIT first. See if you get sound, then try EE4 with PIT file. Let us know.
Damn... Flashed the EP4D ODIN package with the PIT and still no speaker action. Looks like I need VZW to remedy this for me. Lame.

When you look in the settings, do you have different ringtones and notifications sounds listed as options, or do you only see 'silent'?

yes. in the ringtones and in the notifications, it has all the sounds there. just when i select the sound to preview it, no sound. The phone volume is up. so i know there should be sound. Also the vibrate works. so when a call comes in the phone cal still vibrate. thats how i know im getting a call. And I can use the phone as regular.
Airplane mode maybe? I don't know...sounds like your notification volume is all the way down in your sound / volume settings, but you probably already checked that.
Thanks for the insight peoples. I dont know what it it. Im just one of those, if aint complete it erks me, i guess ill have to deal with it. Or sell it. Pass it along im open to offers. Cosmetically perfect l. Has screen protector with extra and all the components. Phone is 4 months old.

Yeah, I don't like it when things are quirky, either. Have you tried doing a factory data reset?
I was watching a you tube video and the sound became choppy. I thought it was a bad video, so I went to another. I had no sound. Started checking things on my phone, and nothing. I rebooted, reflashed my rom, flashed back to stock, and nothing still... SOUNDS ARE GONE. Volume is turned all the way up. I am running beautiful sgs4g (GB 2.3.5). I flashed to the new official 2.3.6. I also did a factory restore, and wiped data/dalvik cache in the process of doing all this. Is there any fix for this?

Out of curiosity, do you hear sounds if you use headphones?
It might be the external speaker. I was listening to music cause I didn't have earbuds with me. Sound started to crackle and break up. I figured music player was malfunctioning. After some troubleshooting, called T-Mobile. Apparently it is a known hardware issue and covered by warranty. I don't have insurance on my phone, they replaced it for a $25 fee.

Why did they charge you $25? If it is a known hardware issue and covered under warranty, they should have just sent it in and had it fixed for free, or you should've contact samsung directly, and the repair would have been free.

So, I've got this annoying issue where my phone decides to randomly shut off in the middle of the night while charging. Well, of course it turns back on, but to the battery charging screen. The problem is, I need my alarm, and for two days now I've woken up late due to this. I'm on stock Froyo, UCKH1. Rooted and CMWed. Does anyone know what could be causing it?

It's not a bad phone. It's something software related clearly, but I've done stock recovery. I feel the next update will fix a lot of things, including issues not everyone has, so I'll just wait it out and get a real alarm.
EDIT: One of the biggest issues I've seen with this phone is that the Froyo it shipped with was kind of half-assed. I mean, it functions, yeah, it works, but does it work like it should? Not really. The Froyo on this phone is buggier than a picnic taken over by ants.

The that worked before i flashed to either Valhalla or Octane was Black Ice Voodoo from Krylon360
here is all i could find
http://androidforums.com/incredible...people-cant-hear-me-without-speakerphone.html
so what this states is that some have success with factory reset, and/or clearing the caches several times. or it could be an app, try simply simple rom.
could be an app, some say problem with head phone jack and suggest to clean "There was an issue with the headphone jack. Take a set of headphones (ear buds) and dip the plug into some alcohol. Slide the plug in and out of the jack several times. Wipe the plug and repeat."
'This happens to me when i unplug the headphones without exiting music player remix first. To fix, I restart the musicplayer, plug them in, exit the program, unplug.
The thread "stuck in headset mode" talks about the other variations of the problem."
or an app, like voice recorder is set on it to automatically turn on speaker phone.
so if still having problems after all this then its a hw problem, so fix go to t-mobile or put speaker phone on all the time by using voice recorder app. you have to look into how to do that. i hope i help some what.

Ok, I don't know if you have a voodoo kernel but I fixed mine by unchecking hi-fi recording in the voodoo control app. I guess it's a bug with voodoo on some kernels.

So I am trying to fix my wife's phone. She keeps getting random reboots. It started on stock. I rooted and flashed a couple of different roms and the problem persists. Thanks to qkster I managed to copy 2 last_kmsg logs from the last 2 reboots. The first one I was listening to Pandora and halfway through the song the phone rebooted. The second one I had just sent a text and turned the screen off. Couple minutes later it wouldn't come back on as if it was completely off.
I tried going to jb over the weekend (phone was screwing up anyway so I figured what the hell) but lost my imei. So went back to stock. Fully wiped everything. Flashed mg's infinitum ics since out of all the roms I've tried that one runs the best. Been on it 3 days now.
In my completely uneducated opinion the reboots are caused by some kind of memory issue.
I'm sure it's hardware related and was just wondering if someone with a larger IQ than me could give me an idea of how to fix it. I'm 7 months away from an upgrade.
I've looked at the battery to make sure the connecters were clean and nothing was broken.
Thanks for whatever help anyone can give.

Looks like it could be a problem with your audio/dac - that would be my take, anyway. That's what all this stuff is about: unable to get clock pcm, wm8994_samsung.c (wm8994_resume,3961) ]. wm8994 is the Wolfson DAC in the Infuse. PCM Out of curiosity, have you tried VoodooSound? I wonder if the anti-jitter setting would make a difference...
I am not an expert - just curious!
I never tried to use voodoo. Never even looked into it. I will look into that though. Thanks.
Edit - I'm running a cm9 base rom. Infinitum. Isn't voodoo automatically on in cm9?

It is an odd problem to have. Normally, people use VS to take advantage of the Wolfson chip. If it works, great! One little thing I might mention - a kind of odd behavior with VS in JB - Even if you don't use the bass boost, VS seem to limit the output volume. All you have to do is click Bass Boost (not enable or anything, just open the menu setting) and the sound gates open. This does not happen if you enable Smart Amplifier btw.
Things seem to be a bit better with voodoo sound. Been on pa jellybean for a couple days now. 1 reboot but I couldn't get a last kmsg.
Thanks for helping me!

These problems can also be related to particular apps. The problem you describe on Oct 8 is pretty common. You might try increasing your dalvik cache size if your phone freezes after using certain intensive apps. To do this, you need to edit your build.prop Look around for suggestions on best settings.
Thanks for the help. I've made my way to jb and using zram. Thought that might help. Will look into dalvik cache. I have tried googling phrases from the kmsg but I don't have the basic understanding i guess. Again I appreciate your time and suggestions

Well, in the last one there's something going on with your touchscreen. Have you ever overclocked this phone? Have you noticed that it gets hot? Honestly, if you were playing a game for an extended period of time, it would get hot anyway. I'm guessing there is/was a heat issue...
I actually went to flash the oc kernel for the cm10 when I got to jb but kept boot looping. So I never got oc running. The last message I posted was the third time in a row the phone rebooted. I was reading the kmsg from the second reboot when it rebooted. Weird.
But no its not getting hot. It kept saying something about the USB probe or something. I figured its something with my charger/USB port.

Sorry, what kept saying something about the USB probe? Internal components also use USB. It's not just the port.
I'm sorry. I must have misread it. It said ta probe. And then calibration. I don't know. I'm pretty sure the phone has a hardware issue and will try to keep it together long enough to upgrade. Though it may be placebo I think voodoo sound does help a little bit.
Thanks again.

My cousin's S3 is unrooted. Yesterday he said it froze up on him... No buttons work, however, if you take the battery out and put it back in, the phone will power back up, comes all the way on up to the home screen, but nothing works, no buttons, no reaction from touching the screen or anything.
Verizon is blaming it on Nova.

Stock recovery should be able to perform a factory reset. Try that and if it doesn't work read up on Odin to go back completely to stock. If that fails you are likely looking at hardware failure. My guess is the factory reset will fix it for you.
I'd try to go into stock recovery by pressing power, home and volume up buttons....wipe davlick cache
