No sound :-(

Hi,
Following on from my phone app problems, my XDA Mini S has now stopped producing sound alltogether!
I believe the problem is that the phone thinks i have the headset plugged in, as i can hear sounds through the suppluied headphones but nothing when they are unplugged - not even during a call.
Please can someone make a suggestion? I have tried soft resetting.
:?:
EDIT: I should point out that i can hear the ringtone when the phone rings through the speaker but absolutely no other sounds - nothing in calls and nothing from the speakers - WMAs etc.

try unplugging and plugging it back in a few times (quite a few in one go)
the headphone "sensor" is usually hardware which picks up when something is physically plugged in .
not sure what else to try
if u have had it less then 30 days then get a replacement next day from o2.
or hard reset ? but backup first!

Hmm,
I just can't work this out. How come the ringtone plays through the speakers? If the phone thought the headset was plugged in would it not just play the ringer through the headset? Can anyone confirm this please?
Stupid phone :-(

Mine did the same, ringtone played OK but could only make calls with the headset plugged in. Thouhgt I was going to have to return it, but ried pushig the jack i alittle further before pulling it out and it all started working OK. I've not had the problme since.

hi guys , i have problem with sound as well , i just unblocked the simlock with lokiwiz02b , and suddenly there was no sound at all , i can call but there is no sound , i tried to play ringtones nothing works , headset is not solution as well , when i tried to run media player message - no hardware device to play sound or device not available , and everytime i open the volume control it's show that it's mutted and i can't scroll it up to make any sound all i can say it seems that system drivers for sound are ****ed up,
anybody have any idea how to solve it? i have still few days to return it but i played with this simlock so i'm afraid they can charge me extra for repair ,

Have you tried a hard reset?

My Charmer, has the opposite problem. My speaker went dead on my suddenly during a phone conversation on speaker phone mode. So, I can't hear any phone rings and stuff, but still able to make calls, with or without the ear phone.
Yes, confirm (for my charmer) that if you have your ear phone in, speaker won't give you any sound. So, don't think it is that earphone plug sensor thing problem.

yes i tried hard reset but everything still the same -no sound at all

No sound on earpiece, microphone ok
Well I tried the suggestions in the forum and still it didn't work. I then thought maybe there's dust and stuff in the workings, blew into the earpiece and it worked.
It's worth a try!
Hope this helps.

Hello to everybody.. I had the same problem for months and last week i gave my wizard to the assistance cause I feded up!
I solve the problem with 70 euros but now it-s better.

phone goes into loudspeaker when using headphones during an incoming call

anyone else experienced this? what happens is that during a call while using hands free, when an incoming call comes in, it automatically shifts the current call to loudspeaker, and switches itself back one the phone stops ringing :/

funny you should say that, it happend to me for the first time today, just as you described

same for me - got a text while listening to music and found out the sound came out from the speaker :S

I had a similar but slightly different problem yesterday. I was trying to listen to music with bt headphones - the music cam out of the speaker, but system sounds were coming through BT headset.
soft reset did not help, turning off bt headset and powering it again fixed it.

I had a same problem. It was really annoying. I searched a bit and found that setting the key "\\\registry\HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Ring\Speaker" to 0 solves the problem.

does that stop it ringing from the speaker altogether or just with headphones?

Just with headphones.

[Q]Feature or Bug? (Incoming Calls with Headset)

Hi there!
I have noticed a strange thing on my omnia 7 lately.
When I'm listening to the radio over the headset and there is an incoming call, the ringing sound does not play over the earphones. Instead its playing on the normal loudspeaker on the back of the phone.
When receiving sms or messages, the sound plays over the earphones.
My question is:
Feature or Bug?
Did anybody else notice this strange behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
aur0n

same here, olso with my bluetooth headset
(i've got mango)

YEs...this is bloody annoying, and it feels like a remnant from the Windows Mobile(dis)functionality.

ok good to hear im not the only one with this problem
bad thing about it: apparently it doesnt change with mango =(
maybe contact samsung

[Q] Phone with No Sound :(

My S4 is behaving weird today.
There's NO notification sound for my SMS, Whatsapp, Email and even phone ring tone. I tried calling out but couldn't hear the other party. I plug in the ear phone and also hear nothing...... Tried the Music Player and no sound to the speaker too.
I've rebooted the phone and everything goes back to normal.... for 2-3 minutes only. Then it's all NO sound again.
I suspect that it could be a software problem rather than hardware (since there's sound after I reboot but only for 2-3 minutes).
Anyone experience problem like this before and how do you solve it ?

What rom and which s4 you are using?
Sent using GT-i9505~

Mine in a GT-I9505 on I9505DXUBMEA

Skype causes ear speaker to become main speaker.

Yup. Once I run Skype, any normal calls and texts I get, the sound is played from top speaker. In short the top and bottom speakers get swapped. I was wondering why my ringtones are suddenly sounding very tiny. I an on KitKat 20B ROM. Unrooted.
The only solution is to restart the phone.
Anyone noticed this?
