Last night my mic randomly stopped working. There is nothign that could have caused this. I haven't dropped my phone or done anything. But all the symptoms point me to a hardware related problem. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!
Replace it

I have a strange issue. My sound randomly stopped working. At first I thought it was the rom but I had the same issue on another rom. Anyway to fix this without getting a replacement.
Yes the volume is up.

Check voice recording app. That says microphone errors.
Maybe it is network error. Try to check with few different sim cards..
Then you have the headset. Check everything with headset too. That again tells phone microphone errors.

I had this exact problem yesterday! No one could hear what I was saying properly on calls. I rebooted and had a look in call settings etc. but had no joy.
I then looked at the phone its self. The microphone hole on the bottom of the case appeared to be blocked. I took the battery cover off and poked a pin through the hole to clear out some grime which had collected in there and was clogging it up. Solved all my problems.
Probably not the same issue you have but it might be worth a look!
I realize one can't say for sure before opening the device up what is causing the issue. That being said...
My phone started having color banding/greenish hue a week ago. It's progressed to intermittent all blue or yellow where there's supposed to be any color (like an app frame), gets random SOD (and always after being in my pocket).
I can cause a coloration issue by squeezing case. It will go away after tapping the screen. reboots after SOD take a few tries and are painfully slow.
I started to take it apart then realized I'll probably mess it up if I don't know what I'm looking for.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this sort of short easy for a non electronics technician to isolate?
Thanks!

Most likely your LCD is dying, but could be a motherboard issue as well.
Low chances(to null) to get it repaired by yourself...
I'm guessing it's not as simple as finding a loose connector and pushing it back on?

Yeah, I doubt it would be such an easy fix!
my screen bottom and right side are not touchable as the attachment, bottom and right out of the blue line are not touchable. I'm not sure about the bottom area, but the right side surely became untouchable after I flashed a CM 10 rom, so I guess this is a software problem. yet reset and flash new ROM doesn't fix it. Is there anything i can try to fix it? much appreciate!
Never heard this kind of a software problem. I don't think it's a rom issue. May be your touch screen broken.
That looks like a sense ROM to me. Maybe your screen is messed like conzzy said

I'm having the same issue. Started when using a sense ROM, but the problem has persisted with a couple of CM ROMS as well, so figuring it's a hardware issue...

I think we have the same thing, and it is the reason i think it's a software problem that the issue came after flashing a ROM. But everyone believe it's a hardware issue, haha. Probably it's time to change a new phone.
I have the same problem too. The bottom part of the screen doesnt respond in some apps but responds in others. And its not like say it responds in whatsapp today it wont respond for whatsapp next time. If it doesnt respond for a certain app, thats it,it wont respond to that app again no matter what I tried. And I dont think its hardware related. Cause if it was, why would the area that doesnt respond for app A respond to app B. I dont really remember when it started but it started when I was using slimbean rom 4.2.

Hi,
I've had my S4 for about 3 days now and today all of a sudden the rear speaker has stopped working. No sound comes out of it at all, including notifications, screen lock sounds, touch sounds and any other sound. I have restarted multiple times but there is still no sound. If I plug in some headphones then I can hear the sound through them, so the problem seems to be related just to the main speaker.
Please help me
Is it brand new. Can you take it back?
Are you rooted? Flash another ROM?

Yeah it's brand new, unrooted and completely stock.
I will go back to the store if all else fails but am hoping there is a solution.

I wouldn't say a lot, but I do use them for an hour or two every night before I go to bed. I used them briefly for about 10 minutes earlier today but the speaker randomly stopped working a few hours after that.
I think I even heard when the speaker malfunctioned because as I touched the screen the touch sound cut out about half way through, though I thought nothing of it. Only now do I realize that there hasn't been any sound out the speaker since then.
Oh because i had that problem lots of times but its because i had headphones in while i switched the phones off or if it went dead while they were plugged in. Then when i restart the phone without them plugged in the phone still thinks there connected when there not so how i fixed it is that i plugged them in and out really fast. Its worth a try but i doubt it will work in your case

Well nothing I tried worked, so I'm guessing it was a hardware malfunction (my guess is that the speaker blew somehow).
I went back to the store today and they gave me a new S4 with no hassle. Just a little disappointed that I spent all weekend setting it up and customising it and now I have to do it all again.
Heres hoping this one lasts more than 4 days lol.

Lol. Been abusing my i9500 like crazy since june. No issues so far. So your unit must have been faulty from the beginning.
