Occasionally speaker becomes silent after upgrading to WM6 - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

First of all thanks all the people who made WM6 possible in Prophet.
I have tried a few ROMs, including Gullum VIII and right now ShadoW 2.0 ( My Edition ). Two are very good ROMs except that
Occasionally the speaker does not make any sound at all. No rings when calling in, nor in any application that is supposed to make noise.
Don't get me wrong, the speaker itself is actually working well. This muted problem goes away as soon as I make a soft-reset, the only problem, however, is I just don't know when it will become muted again.
I have never used a headphone so it's not about the phone jack issue. And because the problem can be corrected by a soft reset, it appears to be ROM related (which I have not had with Windows Mobile 5).
I am using Radio ROM 2.69, not sure if it caused the problem.
Please advise for any possible solutions. Thanks in avdance!

try all the possible solutions for sound not heard via speakers eg jack issue or paper trick to isolate it's not/is a speaker problem. had similar problems & it turned out my speakers were the problem, replacing it did the trick.

Is the same problem ?
Because i got this with any ROM WM6 WM6.1

Thanks for your reply. But no, it's not the hardware issue since all I needed was a soft reset to resolve the issue every time it pops up.
and yes it seems to match the symptoms described here:

I'm having the same problem. Sometimes this problem can be solved by just reselect your ring tone (Settings --> Sounds & Notifications --> Notifications Tab --> Phone : Incoming call --> reselect your ring tone and OK). If this method doesn't solve the problem you need to do a soft reset.
Hope this help.

I'm having too.
I notice this expecially when I select the keypad tones (short or long).
Now I leave it off and I'm not encountring this anymore...

Speaker Malfunction

Has anybody ever experienced the speaker on the phone failing to work?
Yesterday the speaker on my xda seemed to stop working. If I plugged inthe headset ten I could hear sound from this. I have resolved the problem by backing up and Hard resettting the xda and am now trying to restore the backup but am interested if anyone else has seen this or knows why the problem occured.
ROM 4.00.11 ENG
ROM Date 06/23/03
Radio 4.21.00
Protocol 32S54
hi,
i´ve got this problem in two cases:
1st: when i try to mute the phone via speaker icon when in the same time i´ve got the speaker settings on the screen (look at the post concerning bell ditty... searching helps to find that post)
2nd: when i used a beta of meeting mute (because it seemed to change something in the registry). but with the actual official version of meeting mute i have no problems.

My XDA speaker stopped working for a while (very annoying if its the only phone you have), but worked fine when running the speaker test in boot mode.
In the end I found out it was the something to do with the headphone hole, as putting the headphone plug in and out a few times got the speaker working again .

No sound in Lollipop ROMs

I was on JustArchi's and Moster2's Weekly 4 CM12, and suddenly I started having issues with sound.
I hear nothing in calls (and the other person can't hear me), and nothing when playing music or video via the build-in speaker.
However, ringtones play normally (through the built-in speaker), and when I use earphones, everything functions normally.
The final conundrum is that when I'm in calls, and use the built-in speaker, I can hear the other person and they can hear me.
I tried to flash Weekly 5, and the same occurred.
Currently I'm on Archidroid 3.1 (Experimental) as I hoped (in vain) that perhaps it will solve this issue.
When I flashed stock, I had no issues.
Not sure what the problem is, because it seems I'm the only person reporting this...
Any ideas/tips on how to debug this?
Thanks
I had same issue on DomPop but hey fixed it. It was due to a mic issue from sound software that was put in the rom.

You did a full wipe (including system) before installing weekly 5? Did you use a special kernel?
Yep, no special settings.
Now, when I thing about it, it seems that the problem is that the phone thinks it has headphones connected, and this causes this strange behaviour.
I would blame the connector, but I didn't have any problems on stock.
Not sure how to check whether my suspicion is correct. Is there a way to check if the phone detects headphones or not?

When you connect a headphone, does it show the corresponding icon in the status bar?
Could it be that a bluetooth device is connected? Did you disable bluetooth and check if sound is back?
Bluetooth is always off, and I never had any indication in the status bar of headphones connected (even when everything worked). The only headphone icon is the Play Music icon, which is irrelevant.

Microphone is not working when loudspeaker is on

Hi! I have a problem with my m4. The mic seems to turn off when i switch to loudspeaker during a call or if i start a fb messenger call with camera on. However the mic works fine with normal calls, i can record, use google speech etc. Mic test succeeded. Safe mode on and the same thing happens. I have put newest rom for central europe 26.1.A.2.147, wiped all possible data via flashtool and even on clean phone without any apps the problem still exists. I did not change any settings or so. It is just the mic not working when i wany to use loudspeaker ( the onr on the bottom of the phone). I also had issues with lower volume levels than in other m4, but here the rom update might help - i will see in fee days as i did rom update today. Do You have any idea what is wrong? The phone never had contact with water etc.

I have the same Issue, I already made a hard reset but the problem remains. Have you had any progress on this?
Totally nothing. I hope service will fix it.
Same Problem here
Guys did found how to fix this?
Hi, guys.
I had the same issue but it has fixed itself already. Yesterday I wanted to show my friend that on loudspeaker 2nd mic doesn't work but... It worked. I was shocked, I hadn't done anything special. Maybe it was some app issue that is uninstalled now, or that was a virus? I don't know, however it works now.
I m also facing the same issue on my m4 my voice doesnt goes through loudspeaker mode during calls.
I went to the service centr n they r also failed to solv this problem.

Sony microphone doesn't work with loud speaker on
I'm having exactly the same problem with my Sony Xperia M4 Dual Aqua. When the loud speaker (audio output) is on, the microphone doesn't work anymore. I can't be heard by the person on the other end of the phone. Has anyone found a fix to this? The phone has 2 microphones, so maybe there's a conflict with the speaker and microphone or maybe the second microphone doesn't work - anyone got any ideas?
Anyone solved it yet?
I have e2333
I removed memory card and restarted phone, and it worked, i think memory card is interfering with noise cancellation mic, bcoz when you test the mic with audio recorder, you will find noise cancellation mic is low

Thx for sharing,i tried to do this but still like before. I have e2333 too,n it had marshmallow official update last night but didnt solve the problem
it has nothing to do with any software issue or any thing with memory card. all it has to do is with its headphone jack. it permanently recognizes that a headset with mic is connected so it lets the primary mic non functional. and it is probably due to moisture in the motherboard connecting the jack or may b due to numerous fall from heights that lets the jack very lose. try inserting a headphone leave that headphone for a while let ur device get heated up by heavy use or over charging. then remove the jack test the mic again it shall work. if not repeat the procedure again and again till it works. and this method has been tested by me as well as several other users in my proximity. so all the best guys hope it works for ya too. important thing is it might stop working again. so keep repeating

XA Ultra Dual microphone issues

Hello guys,
My XAU Dual showing microphone issues during making calls! when I make a phone call my friends keep complaining about barely hearing me (very low voice) or my voice is like someone talking in a deep tunnel with too much echo ..sort of that!
here are some things I tried to fix the issue but all failed to fix it:
1- I tried factory resetting my device
2- tried repairing my device software using Xperia Companion
3- tried disabling audio enhancement (ClearAudio+ ....etc)
4- in settings>call>SIM>Equalizer ...set to normal
5- tried looking for microphone noise suppression in settings.. can't find it
Didn't drop my device & never exposed to any fluids!!
Tho, I ran diagnostics>tested my microphone, one time I hear my voice good, then gave it another try later on & the microphone recorder a very low sound!!
Am really outta options here & this issue really sucks
My device model number is F3212, running android 6.0, build number 36.0.B.2.146.
Any ideas..
I've been experiencing this problem on two different XA Ultras. The microphone seems to switch to the one on the top of the phone so if you hold the phone upside down people can hear you. I've had to switch to speakerphone output to talk to people when this happens. Switching back to phone from speakerphone sometimes makes it work normally but not all the time.
I suspect it has something to do with an app that is running earlier, maybe google play music or OK google.
I have tried reset and it doesn't help. The problem comes back.
There is a similar if not identical issue on another Sony phone, the solution being to turn off microphone noise suppression. I haven't tried this.

I didn't notice that flipping the phone or switching to speaker output might work, gotta try it first.
What bugs me the most is the fact that I can't find anything related to disabiling microphone noise suppression at an section of this device settings!
Am using a headphone currently & waiting for Android nougat to hit the device & hopefully fix the issue.
This problem was never there when I first used my device out of its box, but later on it appeard after may be 2 upgrade patches of Android 6.0 few months later.
Waiting is my only hope...

Main speaker stops working: fix

Hi. I have a J7 2017 (SM-J730F) since it was released, and there is a problem related to the main speaker that has happened to me several times.
Sometimes, the speaker stops working. Headphones, Bluetooth speakers and the call speaker work perfectly, but the main one doesn't play any sound. Instead, if you listen closely, you will hear a low static noise when something is supposed to be played, and like an electric sound when the sound is meant to be stopped.
If this happens to you, maybe you have noticed that rebooting the phone won't fix it, even in safe mode. But there is a way to make it work again: just turn down the phone and wait a couple of minutes before turning it on again.
If you have other problems with sound and/or other possible fixes for it you can share it here, so somebody may find it helpful.
Omfg thank you I thought the speaker was dead

You're welcome
It must be a software problem
It works!
That is right.
This problem occurs after you do the root.
Power off and wait for a minute or two, then power on is enough to fix this problem.
Note: This problem always occurs when you do soft reboot with a third-party application, but it does not occur when you restart in the normal way.
I liked to share my experience with this problem.
Anyway, thank you.

I've never rooted my phone, and when this happened to me my device wasn't even rebooted. It's more like a software issue, and Samsung must fix it.
But the important thing is that this fix works to everyone, so you're welcome

If you have Sound Assistant installed, check that "individual apps volumes" are set to the maximum.
