No sound, and other issues. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After flashing a few roms I have noticed sound has stopped working, at first youtube videos wouldn't load up or start to play and on first device boot all gapps installed would be in notification bar with an error installing. This is on both cm 10.2 and even the original stock 4.3 touchwiz rom, have I broken my device for good?I never had this issue before when I went back to touchwiz, I have the android 4.3 with knox installed currently....Thanks

Similar Problem!
Hi, I'm having similar problems I have no sound at all coming from the device, I've read every thread that seas sound on the heading for I9505 and for many people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem but not in my case.
Last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
There has to be a solution for this as it is a software issue!!
PD: I can't get any signal either, WiFi is working though.

[Q] Problems with audio after flashing MGG

Hi!
I flashed a rom with MGG and got the same FC problems as everyone else. Flashed the stock MGG rom and cleared everything, factory reset etc. After that I didn't get any audio at all. Not ever during the samsung bootup animation.
I flashed another rom through cwm, same thing and no wifi. The wifi fix doesn't seems to work either.
Tried CM 10.2, there I'm getting wifi but instead no data trafic. Baseband says "unknown" even through I flash different modems. The wifi and data problems I can get around, its just that I can't flash older roms through odin until they unlock the new bootloader.
The audio problems in the other hand. Saw some guy having sound problems in the modem thread as well. Not to many have posted about this problem. Seems to be a pretty rare problem.
What could cause this, how to get around this?
Had to go to work with a non working phone so can't get any logs for you at the moment.
I'm concerned, please enlighten me!
Finally, flashed the latest CM 10.2. Got wifi and reception working!
Still no sound. What log would you like to see to find out what's wrong?

I9505 No Sound, Cant Make Calls Or Receive

Hi.
I have a problem with my device.
Recently i try-d to flash miui v5 from:
miuiandroid_jfltexx_jb-3.9.13.zip md5sum: 7c097742b0f84b1ea5ab39acd5b56dc3
After i made wipe data, syste, preload flash failed, so i made another one and it succeeded.
After reboot i saw only greenish android logo which went nowhere.
So i tried third time with philz recovery and it booted up.
And then there was no sound at all.
Then i wiped data and flashed back stock firmware:
I9505XXUAMDM
After that no sound, no wifi and no calling.
Well then i tried older firmware-s.
And now i just tried latest cm10.2 21.09.2013
Well wifi started to work again, but no sound.
Tried calling, but app just freezes and i cant heare anything.
I am just wondering that how wifi just started working again?
Maybe sound and calling can be fixed somehow similar way.
Kristjan

got same problem yesterday after updating to latest omega... no sound at all, tried doing restore, tried again full wipe, tried changing kernels, after that tried different roms - no success, sound is lost somehow.
problem was resolved only after flashing through Odin 3.09 NEE firmware I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.
Omega rom killed my sounds!

I will try one last time to install Omega v12 before I revert to stock that you mentioned....very disapointed...S4 is such a buggy crap bag
Still love omega rom and everyones effort tho...
OK sound is back after flashing thru odin 3.04 - I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar.....but I am now going to try flashing omega v12 with cwm recovery instead of twrp and see if that makes any diff or just breaks again!
OK!!!! I flashed via odin - CWM recovery 6.0.3.2 and then flashed the omega v12 zip without wiping in CWM but allowing aroma to do the work for me. And I HAVE SOUND and CALLS and no crashes thus far...Hope this helps anyone out there.

[Q] No sound, device freezes when trying to play any sound. S4

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) and I'm having a couple problems with it.
First the phone freezes when its turned on it using Official software or a Touchwiz rom but doesn't happen with other Roms so I'm not very bothered about that.
Secondly there is no sound coming from the device, the only sound that comes off is the booting sound when using touchwiz, I've tryed with headphones and still nothing, and If I go to music and try to play a song the phone freezes until I press the home button, It also freezes when dialing or when any other sound should be coming of the device.
I've done a lot of factory resets and tried various roms but the problem stays.
And thirdly I have no signal on the device, when I put the sim card it just says no service, to be fair the sim card is a normal sim that has been cut to fit micro sim slot, becasue its what I use on my other phone and it works, I'll try with an actual micro sim when I have one available.
I don't know it these problems could be linked, that's why I'm putting them together. I have been searching online but I can't find anything similar.
Hope someone here can help me. Thanks a lot in advice!!
Can't get arorund this!
Ok, so I'm now looking at the sound problem now, seems like there is some people having this issue when the phone freezes when the phone should be playing sound.
I've looked at several threats here and for most people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem, so I tried it but still no sound.
So my I9505 is now on XXUDMH8, I rooted it again and installed a custom rom since the original firmware is not working very good.
Hope someone can help me!
Can anyone help?
OK so last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
Please I've tried everything I can think of and I can't fix this, I need help! :crying:

[Q] i9505, no sound, DSP Manager crashing

Hi
My device baseband is I9505XXUEMK9, Android version 4.3.1, and on a custom ROM (Slimbean).
The issue began when I attempted to flash a 4.4.2 (official) stock ROM from another country, which I now acknowledge as a MAJOR mistake. It was unsuccessful and led to my phone being soft-bricked. However, I had backed up my device prior to flashing 4.4.2 so that ensured its functionality.
After restoring my phone using the backup, the phone completely lost sound output. Whenever I tried to play music, the message "Unfortunately, DSP Manager has stopped" pops up. Video and audio cannot be played at all so apps like YouTube, alarm clocks, PVStar, and video-sharing websites would either crash or provide no video/audio output.
I can make calls but they result in a laggy black screen and there is no sound. I can only receive messages that calls have been missed.
I have tried flashing official stock ROM (I9505XXUEMK9) various times but they all resulted in failure. I have also flashed the modem for my device (XXUEMK9). I have tried out different custom ROM's but the problem persists.
Is this situation salvageable? I am willing to school myself on bootloaders and the such to solve this issue.
Help is much appreciated.

I would do a full wipe from Philz Touch CWM. Clean to install new ROM, and after that recover Your backup.
If it wont work, dirty reflash your Slimbean.
If it wont work, backup Your sdcard, install stock recovery or prerooted stock rom and wipe Your phone from there. If Odin wont work, try Mobile Odin.
Thank you for the response.
I have tried the first and second methods, yet the issues remain.
I am going to try the third one though it would be using a prerooted stock ROM of another variant as there are no XXUEMK9 prerooted stock ROM's.
EDIT: Third method didn't work for me either. It yields the same result as flashing the official stock ROM's.

Sound/Wifi woes

Hello all,
So I've read the threads about the issues with no wifi/sound when people have rooted. I've spent the last 2 days flashing and re-flashing attempting to get these to fix themselves.
I have reflashed, what I believe, is the stock version of 4.2.2 to my sg4 sgh-i337m. After reflashing I noticed I never had wifi. So I reflashed a few times, as others had suggested, but still nothing. I then tried the cm 11 through the windows installer, then I was without sound or wifi. Now when I flash back to stock (maybe I'm not using the original rom?) I don't have sound, or wifi. I tied both CM12.1 optimized and Pacman, and for some reason they get wifi, but still no sound.
Could this be a modem issue?? It's making me crazy. I've reflashed and reflashed my phone with 2 seperate stock roms thinking perhaps I was using the wrong one, but nope. Tried the wipe caches before/after and still nothing.
I have the sg4 sgh-i337m, bought it in Nov 2013. Does anyone know what kernal/broadband we originally use? I lost mine before I had a chance to write it down (kicking myself in the face ever since).
If anyone knows how to fix this - I've tried all the usual fixes (sound about, pulled battery numerous times, multiple reflashes).
Thanks.
http://www.sammobile.com/ has all of our firmware for our phone just make an account and search firmware for your model number and flash threw odin.
i havent heard anything about sound issues i have heard about some wifi. i have the same phone as u and have flashed alost all the roms for it with out issue. maybe its a hardware failure i sure hope not for your case but it might be another problem to look for.
