HI there,
recently my sound has stopped from my S4,
I get sound on startup on the SAMSUNG screen 8 times out of 10 but nothing else once the phone is booted
no sound from videos or music with or without headphones!
on calls i managed to gain my sound back by unplugging and plugging in the headphones several times but nothing else, my music is now 'incorrect audio file' when infact they are all the same files that previously worked
Any ideas?
Thanks alot guys

I have exactly the same problem since Sunday. I was originally running the Antares One/Alucard CM12 build and the sound stopped. I reflashed it, reflashed the official CM11 and now I reflashed the stock rom, all with factory resets, but nothing.On the stock ROM it is the same thing as you - startup sound 80% of the time but nothing after. The sound worked once for maybe 30 seconds but that's it. Also phone is always rebooting/freezing with system ui stopping. It is really frustrating.
I am using the SGH-I337M (Rogers Canada) Galaxy S4.
Thank you.
Flash those modems that are supposed to solve sound/wifi problems?
I can't seem to find one for my version?

Here you can get the latest modem for your phone. The idea is that it MIGHT fix the sound problem. Many people say it does.
The only other thing I can suggest is that you flash the stock rom again, via Odin.
I did this for my phone and now stuck at the Samsung bootscreen with know waranty void 0x1
I installed a new speaker - still no sound. So except if it comes from the inside connectors, it seems to be a software issue. But I don't understand how it persists after wiping everything and reinstalling any ROM - stock, CM11, CM12....

Not sure, but... Did you try to re-flash any "new" Kernel (stock or custom) and what about flashing the modem?

Yes I tried everything...
So I took the phone apart to verify that everything was well connected on the logic board, everything was ok but i still reconnected everything and nothing. From what I understand the problem is the Audio IC on the logic board [1], that's why I can't play any videos also.
The audio IC needs to be reheated, but I do not have the tools/experience to do it. I looked for logic boards, they were 70$ on iFixit but are now discontinued, and I am not sure if they will be available in the future. On eBay they sell around 200$, and at that price it's not really worth it considering the age of the phone and it also doesn't guarantee its gonna work. I prefer to add more money to buy a One Plus One or Moto X, even if I don't have much money.

Still no sound after various room flashes, I get random restarts and booting with no signal/inoperable screen until the phone restarts again, once in a while I get sound on start up of the Samsung logo.
I've triedwiping cache partition and factory wipe, flashing wifi fix and bootloader
Don't know where to go next!

Looks like the problem is the "Audio IC" Chip, but a really don't know either. I would try heating it like said at the link you sent.
It might sound really nuts, :silly: but....Home made solutions "I Would Consider" doing is heating "re-soldering" the chip: (It depends how desperate you are).
- Try some "small repair shops". They might have some tools for it, and usually are cheaper.
- A Blow-dryer, some can get really hot, depends how long, how close, etc; I would also try covering some other parts;
- The Oven. LOL. Seriously, I did this with a friend. Was a old laptop mother board with problems with the video. (Pretty much soldering problem). We did "baked" it, don't remember how long it took, something between 20 to 40 minutes i guess. We used a tiny piece of a solder wire, we left it in a easy spot to see it, when when it was melted we considered that the rest was also in the same condition. We left it cool down, and...... Voialá, the laptop was back alive. Some months later the problem came back. This process was done arround 4 times before the board died for good.
Search for this "oven" solution.
Good Luck!! :good:

Thank you for your answer.
I tried the blow-dryer, but it didn't work.
So I finally found a friend who had a heater + experience in soldering electronics. We heated the chip carefully, waited for it to cool off and it worked! The sound was back, except the mic didn't work on calls but worked with the voice recorder (but didn't have much gain). It was working until maybe an hour ago - and back to the same problem.
I guess we'll have to reheat it again and apply a bit of pressure on the chip.. it is risky but i don't see other solutions - it really is the problem.
im 99% this is software, there surley wouldnt be any sound on startup if the chip was at fault
and various rom flashes semi cured the problem before crashing again
i dont know if theres a way of completely wiping the phone and reinstalling the firmware rather than flashing?
would re partitioning do anything?
im literally stuck

I dont know about re partining, cant help you with it.
Did you tried to format/wipe via recovery?
There's a post about getting all the way back to stock, you might try it, since you had semi cured the problem before, even for a while.
Have you tried any "repair shop"? At least to hear what the guy has to say.
Good Luck!

i use stock anyway ive tried various stock flashes :/
ive taken it into several and they either have no idea or say its the speaker which i really dont believe!
i gave tried factory reset and wiping the cache
Hi,
I have the same problem i guess, first symptom i had was glitch on the speaker when phone overheat, then days later earpods distrsion sound, then they wont work anymore, the remote button on it too, did some flashes roms and back to stock, now it s random sound on boot logo sometimes, and the sound will work for 30 sec or 1 minute after, then every sound stops
Whats weird is that apps that require sound make the phone lag, it s like they can see there's a sound problem...
Anyone figured out whats the problem would be great. Pleaaase
Did u try repartitioning when flashing via ODIN?

Welcome tot he forum
Hoping that is not a hardware related problem I would do a reflash to try to solve it
Read in the Wiki on how to
Hope it helped,
That happens one day in the car travelling home that the sound suddly stop working i restart the xda and everything (not reflash) but nothing work i will try to reflash it because i think is not a hardware problem
is the first time i try to reflash my pda but i have a problem when i try to downgrade it that shows error 260 and i dont know how to fix it
ok, i fix the problem with upgrade xD my english is not good at all and i missunderstand some of the instructions, but after read 100k of threats and 5 hours trying things now is upgrading to tomal rom i hope that this will fix the problem i had before
after reflashing the ce two times the sound is still not working, i am updating now the radio from 1.09 to 1.15, the stereo speakers make a little bit of noise when a sound is played, the headphones dont work, the phone speaker works propertly, and the microphone works but only send the voice to the phone speaker ¿? i dont know why happens this last thing
radio updated and the problem continues anybody can help?
I think it´s a hardware related problem
Try to take it to a repair center
Good luck,
I have the same problem. When a sound is played it just clicks and that's all. I had a problem with my ribon cable and I took it out. I've done that before (it's my second cable failing), so I knew what I was doing. I was off for a about a month untill I got a now cable. When I put it back together, I had no sound, just that click thing. I can't take it to a repair center. If anyone has a solution, please share.
I also found that my camera does not work. It says Failed to initialize camera. 36001:100:1. I tried a different rom, but still have the problem.
Also I tried to make a phone call (I'm not using it as a main phone, that's why I just found that out) and I can hear the other person, but they can't hear me.

i also check my camera after reading your comment and i also have the same problem, next month (because this month i will travel and i cant do it) i will send it to repair a tell you what the solution could be
PD: orb3000 muchas gracias por ser tan atento
I have good news. Something happened. I dont know what i did... but i got my sound back (and camera. main camera at least).
As you I flashed the rom, then the radio rom and I still got the problem. So I thought I'll leave it like that untill I find a solution. And I thought.. well i can at least play some games on it and I downloaded Archibald. I put it on the phone. Started it and ?! I had sound. Again I dont know if I did something before that, but I got it working. I'll attach the game, maybe it did something. Give it a try.
Again I have no idea what I did. It might have some bad connections somewhere. I remember I had the same problem (either with the Universal or the Wizard) but dont remember how I fixed it.
Here is a link for the game:
i install it but the miracle didnt happens i also will try to remove the battery it have on the motherboard to make a cmos clear (like in a normal computer). Lucky you i will keep trying
I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't if it matters but my small mb battery is dead. Apperantly it died during the month the battery was out. Everything works except that when I do a soft reset, the clock resets too.
I have these problems too, does anyone know the specification of the mobo battery?
I have the sound problem but mine doesnt work even with headphones in and i also have a problem with the keys being activated when the screen is in a certain position. Could all of these problems be casued by the ribbon cable?Rob
As far as my expirience goes with the ribon cable, it commands the touch, the lcd, mic, speaker on the lcd part. the keyboard has it's own cable. and it snaps to the motherboard. maybe it's loose or something. For the battery I got http://cgi.ebay.com/Dopod-D900-900-T-mobile-MDA-IV-Qtek-9000-backup-Battery_W0QQitemZ350170469398QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGPS_Accessories_Cablesthis on ebay. But mine looks a little different.
also happens to me when i make a soft reset the clock also restart could be all because the mb battery is dead?
OK, we are getting somewhere Since my sound got back, whenever I reset I get to keep my current time. So maybe my mb battery fixed itself or charged.
I am pretty sure now that is what's causing the problems. If you could disassemble your pda, try playing with the battery. See if it is not loose or something. Try to short-circut it. Get a something form metal and touch both pins. Also try leaving your PDA charging over night.
I hope you fix it since I cant seem to find that kind of battery over the internet.
Hi guys,
Tried searching for my problem, but though I found some similar stuff, noone had quite my problem.
I was checking my Nexus S after a trip and it was with the 'emergency only' message. This sometimes happens to me, not sure if it's due to the roaming activation or caused by a bug where the radio subsystem crashes after a long period without network.
Anyway, I proceeded to my common solution: Turn off and reboot.
Except that after the phone was off, it would not turn on.
It doesn't even vibrate. It doesn't show anything when connected to the wall socket or to the computer. It's just completely dead.
Now, I'm not even sure if this is a hardware or software problem. Any idea on how I can debug this?
Here's what I've tried:
1. Take the battery out: no changes (even tried leaving it out overnight).
2. Charge the phone overnight: no change.
Next step: I'll go to a store and try a different battery... meanwhile I'm without my primary phone which sucks... Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
Try booting your phone into the bootloader. Hold the power button and volume up button simultaneously.
If it is not the battery, i can see what else you can do, a "dont turn on" phone is a dead end...

Yup, it was one of the first things I tried. No sign of life... I can't get a single sign that the phone is even being powered. It's like the battery was taken out.

Sounds like something is wrong with the hardware then. Have you brought it the store? Might need to get a new one on warranty.
I have the same issue with my old Blackberry 9000. It worked fine up until I stopped using it. Left it in a drawer for a few months. Went to sell it to Sprint. Wouldn't turn on. No LED, no nothing. Worked fine months before when I was still using it. To this day I have no idea what's wrong with it and it doesn't turn on.
Why not get an external battery charger and charge the battery up and then test it?
All true, and after trying with a new battery I'll have a bit more information.
But what strikes me as odd is that I didn't leave it in a drawer - I didn't even let the battery run down... it was just a damn reboot! I shut it down, and then couldn't power it up again (try and imagine THAT happening to you). It would be odd for the battery to be sucked dry all of a sudden...
I have a feeling that there's something else... maybe while shutting down something burned out in the power circuitry....? =S
No one ever heard of anything like what I'm experiencing? It sucks to be the only one!
Thanks for all the help so far, guys!
If you can get to download mode nothing is lost. Just flash new image via Odin.

Never heard of that happening, but it's a possibility... Still, I would first attribute it to a bad battery and try that first

With a new battery (that works on another nexus S) still no luck. =(
I still can't find anyone with this problem. I feel like the unluckiest idiot on Earth.
I assume I can't get to download mode since I can't even get the phone to report it is charging (it used to do that even if off). Do you want me to try anything, though? I'm open to suggestions until Monday. Then I'm taking it to Samsung. Hope they can recover my pictures.
BTW, my receipt doesn't have the IMEI and a customer service rep told me I need it on the receipt or they won't give me free support. How can I get it with the phone off?
Regards and thanks to all who responded,

nuno, if you cant power on even with a new charged battery, then it's a harware fault and nothing can me done... =o\
but thanks for the advice, i never thought about the data in sd card, i guess i should make some backups! =o)

I've got the same problem: dead nexus s after a reboot. It says "no service" emergency call does not work. I tried pretty much everything like switching the battery, recovery mode, plug it in, etc. I even updated its image to the latest I've got access to. No luck. I'm already contacting samsung to get it replaced.

Did you try flashing a different rom? Or radio/
I haven't experienced this myself but I'm very interested on what happened. Did you guys flash any custom ROMS? or Radios for that matter?
This looks very similar to what i have. I just got my nexus s GT-i9023, it doesn't boot into fast boot, recovery, download mode or normal. The most activity i have got so fare is when i take the battery out, put it back it, and try turn the phone on it will sometimes flash then do nothing. I have looked every ware. When i use "./platform-tools/adb get-state" it returns "unknown". Any help would be great.
What i think i did was this:
- Unlocked bootloader, this worked
- restart
- installed clockwork mod with fast boot, this worked
- wiped data
- wiped cache (correct me if i spelt that wrong, or anything else)
- flashed cyanogenmod, this got an error but i didn't notice it the first time and i can't remember what it was.
- flashed gapps, this didn't work, when i restarted the phone it said that the installer for gaps had quit.
- restarted
- flashed cyanogenmod again, this is when i noticed the error
- restarted, didn't change anything
- wiped data
- wiped cache
- flashed i9020t recovery, this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061855 i think this is what stuffed it up because my phone is i9023
- wiped data after flashing, thats what it said to do, i thought it was strange but i went along with it.
- wiped cache
- reboot
- now doesnt work.
Take it to the store where you purchased and claim ignorance!
I just bought the device yesterday new, and from the first use i had a weird issue, the sound is muted, all sounds , music play, calls with speakers on and screen sound, sometimes it works and sometimes not, when i plug the headset i can hear everything
Any solution ? i won't wast my time to go the warranty, is it software or hardware issue ? i did factory reset and still the issue come back
Seems much like software issue, have you downloaded and installed latest N7100 firmware? With odin you can do it "officially" without losing warranty.

Still no one to help ?!!! where's the experts ... can anyone at least tell me for sure is it software or hardware issue ? and the warranty can detect that issue ? cause sometimes the sound working fine for hours

Wow, this stinks. If it were my brand-spanking new phone, I'd return it. It almost sounds like a solder issue. My Note 2 has a very loud speaker with excellent quality (nice bass) while listening to podcasts. When on a call using the earpiece, it's actually too loud. I haven't figured out how to turn it down yet, not a critical issue.
Do you get sound at the Samsung logo when you restart the phone? If not, it's a hardware fault and exchange it.

The weird thing , sometimes the sound of Samsung logo working at the start up and sometimes not ... when i just got the device and start to unbox it and turn it on .. it didn't make a logo sound .. but later sometimes it does !!!
i gave it to Samsung today and they told me it will take 5 days .. they will make new software format and then check the hardware . i hope they detect the problem cause sometimes it works fine for hour and the sound disable just happen for minutes !!
Any Ideas ?
Thanks for reply
Also, go into the dialer, type in *#0*# and go to the Speaker to see if it works.
I went to the warranty and they told me it will take 5 days for troubleshooting, they said first we are going to install new software then you will have 48 hours for testing, if the problem persist they will change it for me , i don't know if they can discover it, Also here's some link for some users have the same issue :

try pressing on the main speaker, the point of contacts of most phone speakers are just behind or sides of the actual speakers just to rule out loose contact. also try to master reset if it doesn't work try reinstalling the rom to rule out software problem. Otherwise, I would return it for a replacement. Good luck.
Edit:
If pressing on the speaker temporarily solves the problem, I would still ask for replacement.

after 1 months work with GS3 sounds gone randomly, i flashed my cell with every rom costume and official but no success some nighte when i work with my s3 without sound i hear badly noise from speakers and i turn off my cell and phone gs3 dead complletly
i do everything for recover my cell and i found way to turning on my phone with sound !!! i must warming galaxy s3 to work perfectly when gs3 get cold at first sound gone and second complletly dead
iam so confused on this issue and i forget my s3 and bought galaxy note 2
Hi, i have a SGH-I337M, with the AOSP 6.0.1 rom with root, since i can remember the phone had been pretty much hot, i didn't care much back then since i use it a lot but recently my phone started to freeze, like the screen freezes and i cant do anything, not even turn it off, so i have to take off the battery let it cool for 20 minutes and start it again, then it works about 10 or 20 minutes and then again it freezes i think it might be related to the heat. Also some few times my screen has turned green and then white and others few times i can see some sort of colored strings.
I'm pretty sure its hardware related but i don't know why it happens and if it can be repaired, do think ill have to change the whole motherboard?
Thanks in advance
Graphics chip may be the problem You shouldn't let your phone overheat like that I think it's the graphics chip (because of the color artifacts) You can try to reinstall ROM (clean installation) and flash another modem&bootloader, or even flash stock ROM. If that doesn't help then your graphics chip is damaged...There is 'repair', by changing motherboard, but it can be very expensive (if you don't find another S4 with broken screen or something else with working motherboard)
I already reinstalled the rom (clean install) and yupp, it doesn't work, the warmest place in my phone is between the sim card and the sd card, so i guess ill have to change my motherboard X_X
Anyway, thank you very much!

Hi, i have a SGH-I337M, with the AOSP 6.0.1 rom with root, since i can remember the phone had been pretty much hot, i didn't care much back then since i use it a lot but recently my phone started to freeze, like the screen freezes and i cant do anything, not even turn it off, so i have to take off the battery let it cool for 20 minutes and start it again, then it works about 10 or 20 minutes and then again it freezes i think it might be related to the heat. Also some few times my screen has turned green and then white and others few times i can see some sort of colored strings.
I'm pretty sure its hardware related but i don't know why it happens and if it can be repaired, do think ill have to change the whole motherboard?
Thanks in advance

You should get CPUTemp Xposed module and stop letting your phone get hot! I usually stop screwing around with mine when the temp gets to like 50/60-something Celsius. And like GDReaper said, don't be a Negative Nancy, be a Positive Paulie and play around with other ROMs!!
my original phone screen did things like that after a pretty heavy drop onto a tiled floor. it maybe a good idea to have a technician diagnose your problem before forking out money for parts that might not fix anything.
Thank you all for your answers, i did tried to flash some other roms without success (I still have the same problem) i am afraid to continue playing with roms since my phone sometimes freeze in the middle of the android configurations when i reboot my phone just after the new installation and i don't want it to freeze in the middle of the installation of a rom.
I think ill go to a technician to see what can be done about it, ill keep you informed what was the problem
Hey Guys,
Now my Moto G4 Plus is facing a weird issue. No Sound from speaker and headphone. The microphone is also not working.:crying:
But the bluetooth headset is working Fine.In the first time of occurrence, a restart solves the issue. But after some restarts, the method of restarting is not working for gaining or achieving sound.Now my phone have zero sound. But some times the phone's speaker, headphone and microphone(everything works fine).
I thought it was a software issue. Therefore, i tried all ROMS including Stock(Marshmallow & Nougat) and Custom ROMS. Unfortunately the flashing didn't fixed the issue.
You guys may think that it's a hardware issue.But if it's a hardware issue, then how the phone was completely operational without any single bugs at sometimes(Perfectly fine at those times).
What's not working now:
*External speaker
*Headphone jack
*Microphone
Please Help Guys
Sounds like a hardware problem...
Have Warranty but can't claim due to Unlocked bootloader

The problem is after the June Security Patch update which have upgraded the Bootloader (bootloader once upgraded can't be downgraded).Therefore I can't relock the bootloader(still there is no firmware from Motorola built with June security patch).I have warranty. But if the problem is with the motherboard, it'll take 60% of the phone's entire price to replace it
Just to confirm, you've performed a factory reset, cache wipe and without any apps (besides the stock apps), and you still get the speaker/microphone issue?
Is the headphone jack clean as well?

Yeah exactly.I can also hear the 'Hello Moto" booting up sound sometimes. Don't know whether it's a software issue or a hardware issue.

i think it's a problem hardware, i would have to check it in the next days (when i have torx screwdriver) and i'll tell you. also somebody from here could give us a complete backup of a rom (obviously with the speaker working) just for dismiss the software

I did the same on a friend's XT1644 and still no sound.
I think the problem is worse. Sometimes the phone boots with the Hello Moto bootanimation, with sound. Other times, the same bootanimation without sound. Most of the times, the phone boots with a static blue motorola logo.
Sometimes audio work on headphones. Most of the time doesn't.
I've flashed the stock ROM with june security patch and I can't downgrade because the bootloader is new.
Any tips?
I had the same problem in my moto G4
My problem was a hardware problem, earphones plug did not have contact because I polished my camera glass with toothpaste and all inside was a toothpaste mess, I cleaned all contacts and magic! It works! Maybe you have a hardware problem, issue in the plug or speaker
I'm having the same problem, phone boots with a static blue motorola logo, no sound, no mic. I just got the phone though and it worked for about 2-3 weeks. I would have thought if it was a security patch in June I would have gotten it sooner and had problems right away.
Hi guys, i will try a solution for this bug, but i need of the folder proc/asound, can anyone disponibilize for me?
Sorry my bad english, i'm brazilian.

I think you are write but yesterday when I was listening to music with a pair of earphone connected to Moto g4 plus. And when I removed them then the sounds were not coming from speakers. After that I do a factory reset and the problem was solved.

I have what appears to be the same problem. I have an XT1625 running Android 7.0, security patch level 1 April 2018, build number NPJS25.93-14.7-8. The phone is bone stock. Bootloader has always been locked.
My problems began when the phone began to reboot on its own two or three times a week, then I noticed I had no audio from time to time, and a reboot restored the audio. Then I ended up with no audio at all, where I am now.
I have booted into safe mode with no improvements, then performed a factory reset. The phone boots most of the time now with a static blue motorola logo, and I notice that the screen dims about halfway through the boot process. When the phone finishes booting, I get the following notification: "Configuring your mobile network retry x of 5" after it retries 5 times, that notification goes away.
No application requiring sound works. I can send a text via Hangouts, but when I try a voice call using hangouts, nothing happens.
I'm thinking the phone is now a toy for my granddaughter, but I thought I'd check in here in case anyone has any related information.
Thanks for any help.
