Help Speaker stopped working

No sound from the speaker, just randomly happened. Rebooting doesn't work. I have not rooted the phone.

Any suggestions?

This happened to me too. However, I heard it starting to distort/fizzle out while I talking on speaker phone. I didnt even realize that the input beeps and clicks were silent until then. I restarted and tried doing a call again and it seemed to come back on after a few seconds of silence.

My phone is rooted, has busybox, RyanZA's one click lag fix, and I enabled sideloading by database editing.

What is the status of your phone now? What apps have you installed? Anything in relation to audio or music?

The only thing I do in relation to music is listen to pandora once in awhile. I don't have any media files. My phone has been lagging pretty badly lately which has been annoying. I don't have too many apps. Shazam, pandora, battery indicator, juice defender, atk, and a few small games and stuff.

I haven't done anything to side load apps or anything to change stock ui.
 
i have not root my phone and i don't plan to do it in happy with it.
but after reading alot of the posts where people is having problems with
this phone all have 1 thing i common all are rooted.

i haven't have any problem with my phone at all so maybe rooted users are making a mistake in doing that?

I haven't rooted my phone so that isn't the case here
 
I just started having this problem. Took the phone in to ATT they took battery out sim card out and sd card out, now it works fine.
 
Rooted
Flashed I897UCJH3 firmware
Overclocked to 1.2GHz with SRE v1.2.1a
Lag Fix

mine stopped working yesterday,.... anyone have any other fixes tried taking out the batter and sim cards and that didn't work
 
speaker stop working on my capi... no fix yet. did any one try to take captivate apart to fix it. it appear that this is physical problem not software issue.
 
mine suddenly stopped working today - on the phone with samsung support for over an hour and no help at all - they say no one has had this problem - they want me to send in the phone for a six day repair
 
anybody find fix for this yet or have sent your phone in for a fix? mine randomly started this yesterday. i havent downloaded or even updated any of my apps in a week so thats not the problem. not rooted either so thats not the case.

totally random and i'm aggravated as hell. really dont feel like starting fresh on the phone :\
 
@sero

Try this:

Remove the battery from the phone and, with your index finger, aggressively tap 1 time on the speaker grill. Reboot the phone and let me know how it goes.
 
I have the speaker phone issue too. One day I just noticed, zero sound. No fizzle, no on again off again. I called ATT and Samsung. Samsung offers a 2 day ship, 2 day fix, 2 day ship scenario with the original Mfr warranty date. ATT offers 0 down time, refurbed phone with the original mfr warranty date. I'm annoyed that a refurb doesn't have it's own warranty date. Why do we buy $200 phones that aren't even lasting a year now?
I have pulled the battery, done a factory reset, pulled the SIM, pulled the SD....it must be hardware.

I've been also having speaker problem issues as well. Whenever it goes off, I tap on the back of the phone where the speaker is, and it comes back on, def a hardware problem :( it just started doing this is last week.
 
Great! Mine started doing this too. Very frustrating to miss calls. Pulling the battery and restarting only makes the speaker work for awhile...seems less and less. This phone was too expensive! It isn't even a year old yet!!
 
::::ALL WITH SPEAKER ISSUES::::

this is common problem with this phone regardless if rooted/ROM/non rooted. If your phone is under warranty (1 year) and your using a ROM, flash back to stock, ATT will replace it for you no issues (i did this monday). But make sure you back up all your stuff. they WONT back up DATA only contacts, so be sure you use titanium backup. And if u already have a stock rom. just take it to ATT youll be set.

::::IF NOT UNDER WARRANTY:::
peep this guys website, hell replace the speaker for you CHEAP AS HELL!
