Help Phone wont make any sound

[Roachk1lla]

Another problem I have after not having any problems! My phone will not make any sound at all. I have all the volumes turned up and nothing. Phones calls, movies, songs, text messages, no noise. I have even factory reset the phone much to my dismay. Anything I can do to fix this? I have had the phone 2 months and loved it, now I am thinking maybe I should have just went Iphone4.

This same exact thing just started happening to my phone. I noticed it when i switched to speakerphone i couldnt hear my friend but he could hear me. When speaker phone was turned off i could hear him fine. I had him call me back, and i never even heard the phone ring. I missed tons of text messages and phone calls. When i would watch videos or something i couldnt hear anything. I checked all the sound settings and made sure everything was on. Rebooted the phone and everything. Nothing worked. I factory reset it and still nothing.

So while watching a video i slapped the back of my phone and the volume kicked back in. It soon went right back out. I slapped it again and repeated this process for sometime before it finally came back on. It's been on for like 3-4 days now no problem.

I'm still going to be returning it though either through Samsung or ATT.

I've had this phone since august and this is my first and only issue with the phone.

I got my phone the first week of September. This started happening very recently. I haven't contacted either yet because NT to know from others who's the better one to deal with. I don't want to get crapped on by either into waiting like a week for a replacement phone that will just be someone else's refurbished garbage. I want a brand new phone with no problems. My phone is in perfect condition, I've never dropped it and it looks just as it did the day I purchased it. There's no excuse for this hardware failure.

Same problem here -- looks like a loose connection to the speaker inside the phone ... pressure on the case around the speaker restores the audio, but eventually fails again days later.

I turned on audio feedback on button presses so I can monitor the failure easier.

Same problem...yesterday morning, unplugged phone from charger...NO SOUND from external speaker!! Pressed on speaker, it worked for a few minutes, now NOTHING!!! Tried to press on it again, "nada"...so mad right now, phone is protected by Otterbox and is only 3 months old....fml.
