Alright, so I'm on Notorious ROM right now, but no matter what ROM I try, the thing I'm about to explain stays the same.
You know that tone you hear when you press the volume buttons in the home screen? To change the ringtone volume... It's all clear when that happens. By clear I mean no LOUD noise is coming out of the speaker. Only one thing. When you press the up/down volume buttons in the homescreen, or when "Audible selection" (under Settings -> Sound) is checked and you touch the phone (you know, some tone is being played)... I can hear a background noise like that fuss you hear on a Radio when it's not tuned right. It's not loud, but it's there.
But whenever I play a media (movie, game, I don't know), I hear a constant noise coming through the speaker. You know, like a FM radio isn't tuned right... just WORSE. For example, I play a game with the lowest volume - it sucks.
Can you try this for me, please? Put yourself in a quiet room and start a game or a musical or something, and turn the volume to the lowest. See if you can hear that... If you can't, put the speaker next to your ear.
I really am looking forward to your feedback. I'm starting to believe it's a hardware issue, but a software one, as well (otherwise that noise wouldn't be heard only when media is played). PLEASE !
Many phones will do this when they are plugged in and charging. Is it doing it when your phone is running on battery only? If that is the case you can always buy a filter for your AUX cord.

Are you talking about the built in phone speaker? Or using an aux cord in the head phone jack?

Everything is fine with headphones attached : no buzzing or anything. I was talking about the speaker ONLY...

Thats what I figured...But the Aux cord filter that he was talking about is only for using a cable to connect the phone to the line in of another device. I tried it over and over again and the only thing I hear is my music (very softly because i turned it down as low as I could). My friend has an atrix too and he could not replicate this either.

Breaking the screen
The first one hard bricked, the day I got it when I attempted to unlock the bootloader...It was only an hour after I got it so I took it to AT&T and they replaced it. I guess they figured I couldn't have done that much damage in 45 minutes
The second one slid out of my back pocket as I was getting out of the car without me realizing it. It slid right in the door frame and when I closed the car door, the phone bent and the screen cracked. Since the main board was cracked, it quit booting =P I've had my current one though for 6 months and haven't had an issue. (I do have an otterbox defender on it)

That's exactly what I did with a friend of mine. We went to the shop for him to buy a HTC Desire, then we went to a McDonalds and I tried to unlock it. When the radio was flashing, he mistakenly pulled the cable - brick transformation!!! Then we went back to the store (20 minutes later), told them the phone was not booting anymore.

There's something in that phrase that doesn't make sense there... but yeah, I got the last part of it, so case closed .
Just watch out for the future. No more waving at birds with your phone laced to the small finger... it may slip out and break more than just your finger . Hah, now THAT's stupid.
-----
To protect my ATRIX, I have a MOMAX iCase Pro case on it. It snaps on so fast & easy, that it is just as easy to take off... so if you drop the phone, the case snaps off from the corner it lands. That happened to me. Lucky me, the crappy plastic of the phone barely got scratched on its right "cheek"... Need a new case (this one is rather used) or a tighter / thicker one. Oh well...

I'm having a weird issue with my vibrant. When I shake it turns off. I never had a problem with my phone before this is a first. Could it be a manufacturing problem? And if i take it to T-Mobile what could they do for me?
Only reasonable thing might be the battery moving, but thats weird...
lol... i find it funny sorry
so you just SHAKE IT and it turns off?
Yep, call TMOBILE tell them the issue, get a replacement, if its under 30 or is it 60? days you get a brand new phone, Vibrant.
If its over that, you get a REFURB, which MAY have problems, but if it does.. you just call em again and do the same thing for another Refurb.
There ya go.
I found it funny too. I know for sure they'll give me a refurb that I know I'll hate. TMobile will only give refurb replacements correct? Because I sure as hell would like to get a different phone from them. Using my phone as credit or something then paying off the difference if thats possible.
Shaking it and dropping it hard on a desk turn it off.
Stick a piece of cigarette pack alongside the edge of battery. Works every time.

Yes or roll a piece of paper tape to slightly bigger than the crack between the battery and the housing, then insert. This also can be done on the back should that be necessary--------

its like when someone goes to the doctor and says "Doc my arm hurts when i do this" and the Doc replied "then don't do that"
So my suggestion is Don't shake it.
Or just get a one of those extended battery gizmo. it may just do the trick.
Cheers!
LOL, I'm sorry but this is great. Can OP please add a pole of how many people actually started shaking their phone after reading OP. I did
Heres my results:

As others have said, a folded piece of paper between the battery and the back case will fix you right up. I had the same issue ;-)
So in the beginning of July I dropped my Rezound in some water, and it voided those water sensors on the back, and thought it has been functioning fine, you can notice that there is/was water under the very back of the screen when it is a white screen and it messes up from here to there but has worked alright. So I used my upgrade in March to get this phone and Verizon basically said I can buy a new phone at full price or else I'm screwed and stuck with it. Besides just finding someone on craigslist, ebay, etc.. anyone got any ideas on how I can get a new Rezound on the cheap or anything else 4g from Verizon on the cheap that isn't a turd, or somehow I can get a discount?
Just looking for any input, I'm fine with it now, but it's just annoying, and I'm not sure how long the phone will be operational.

Do you not have insurance on your line?
Check out TeamBAMF's marketplace... they have some Thunderbolts and Rezounds for sale there.
Plug it into a charger, wrap it in a paper towel and put it in a bag of dry rice and let it sit for a few days. I've saved an iPhone and a camera that way.

Why do you plug in the charger?
Perhaps a little heat to help drive out the water? Just my guess.

Exactly. Putting it on the dashboard of your car works too, just make sure it's completely covered in rice so it doesn't get too hot. After all, you can bake cookies on your dashboard nowadays.
Oh! I forgot to mention taking the back off, for better airflow. Removing the battery, SIM and SD card don't hurt either, but I don't think the charger will work if you remove the battery. None of my other phones ever have but I've never tried it with my Rezound.

Putting it on the charger can make the water damage worse. Put it in the sun or something but don't put it on the charger. Water + electricity = kablam

He did say it's been working fine other then the water in the phone...
You can check the marketplace here on XDA too. I've seen some rezounds for around $200.
We're only talking about 5V, 1A, which isn't a lot of power. Yes, at high voltage or high current, water and electricity don't mix but I'm sure he's charged it since he dropped it. I've saved devices in exactly this way in the past. Screens are the the hardest part to save, though. The touchscreen on my old iPhone needed to be replaced because the bottom half stopped responding to touches and the camera has a very faint shadow in the screen if you hold it at a certain angle in bright light. Both devices otherwise work perfectly but I hardly use them any more because they've been replaced by my Rezound.
Hello guys,
I wonder if this can be fix as i cant afford to buy parts or a new phone at this moment.
Short story, dropped phone into the toilet which was rescued in splits of a second. But now speaker doeant work at all. The smallest speaker works just fine.
Anything I can do to fix it?

Not only phones, but any non waterproof devices which is got wet must be turned off and waited till the water dry itself out or by a little heat.
I screwed my laptop with a litre of water and turned it off, waited till 1-2 weeks and my laptop was fine again.
You better turn off your phone and wait till the water dry out.
+: Accelerate the process by a little heat source.
Hit thanks if this helped you.
Little late for that. Phone was dried mins after rwmoving battery. 30 mins later after i knew phone was dried turned it on and everything worked perfect except for the loud speaker. My question is if this is something fixable by replacing bad loud speaker or if board got screwed.
Thanks

I expect if you got a deep system log like a last_kmsg or a detailed logcat then you might be able to see if the speaker is being communicated to or nor. If not then its probably the board. It seems odd that it would be the board though, as I would've thought it strange for just the bit that controls the speaker to go wrong. A new speaker can't be too expensive to be worth a shot though can it?
I did a logcat and nothing cameout telling me of any errors on loud speaker.

I managed to chat with a motorola representative and he confirmed that the speaker got damaged. So i order a new one so i can fix it.
Thanks guys

I got a sim holder from parts4repair but it's China so it takes a bit, and I seriously doubt my ability to re-solder it in - they must use lazers. Mine works if I don't remove the sim - springs are all bent. I was lucky to get it in. (my sim is a munched sim from a regular sim. i should have gone to att store and gotten a real micro sim, but that's water long over the dam... )
The speaker shouldn't be too hard to replace - ribbon connector if I recall correctly. just pop the battery cover. I totally forget if you have to remove the inner bezel... Hope that fixes it!!!

Well for my bad luck i got the parts and the loud speaker so went ahead and replaced it but still no sound.
Maybe that part of the board got damaged?

I agree that I'm surprised if the board is burnt unless the speaker shorted and blew the amplifier. I looked at mine and if you're sure the contacts are clean (red circles) then I have no idea. PM follows.

Guess what?
The problem was not the speaker, the problem started when I modded the battery to Maxx HD. Since the new battery is a tiny bit thicker is somehow preventing the cover to fully close and there is no contact between the speaker and the contacts.

Wow! So it works??? That's fantastic!!! Love Motorola!
Yes it works but i had to put little pcs of aluminum foil so it get better contact.
Worth the moderation as i get over 35hrs of battery life when before i was getting at top 9hrs.
Great - I think you could have also bent those contacts a bit.
I'm really interested - what do I search for on ebay? "maxx hd" doesn't give me much...
How many mah is it? 2500?

I droped my DNA about 1 month ago and the screen cracked, luckily the digitizer was fine but the glass was cracked bad. Then a week later I guess I was to "rough" with my DNA and I screwed up the digitizer. Al I could see was a black screen with some green and purple lines going on it. So I needed to get it replaced, it would cost me around $150. Everything was working, even the screen, I could still feel the vibrations of me trying to put in my passcode, in other words, it could still recognize me puting in touch inputs but I could couldn't see what I was touching. I put in my head phones to listen to music, and it was fine, the sound was clear and everything. 2 weeks later I go to the repair shop to get it fixed, they put on a new screen and it looks brand new. I get home and I notice the side of the screen is messed up because when I try and press the q button on the keyboard it types the lettet w. So as hard as I try to type the letter q, it won't work. Sadly, I didn't test out my earpiece or the headphone jack. Now I take it back and they order a new LCD and digitizer. I come back in a couple of days so they can put it on the screen works fine. The next day I try to call one of my friends but I notice there was a problem. When I call the screen goes as normal, but when I take the phone away from my head, the screen doesn't come back on. No matter how hard I tried to get it back on, it would get back on. Worst, the earpiece didn't work. I couldn't hear anyone in a call, they could here me but I couldn't here them. I take it back to the repair place, they order like 10 earpieces but it didn't fix the issue. Now they are saying that the problem is my motherboard. So at this point, the only things that don't work are the proximity sensor, the camera because I get an error (cannot connect to camera error), the earpiece, and the headphone jack because its all staticy when I try to watch youtube videos. Yes I have tried many many headphones but the problem keeps persisting. I forgot to mention that my doubletap2wake doesn't work or my sweep2wake. A couple of days later the guy who owns the shop says the problem is the motherboard. I try to get my money back but I had no luck. What do guys have to say? I came in for one problem to get fixed, then I get another. Worst of all my phone just shuts off at like 50%. I can't restart it or anything, I have to connect it to a charger in order to turn it on? What do you guys have to say? They said that when you open up the phone, the pins that holding things in place break off and people get these issues. Sorry for this being so long.

I take it back to the repair place, they order like 10 earpieces but it didn't fix the issue. Now they are saying that the problem is my motherboard. So at this point, the only things that don't work are the proximity sensor, the camera because I get an error (cannot connect to camera error), the earpiece, and the headphone jack because its all staticy when I try to watch youtube videos. Yes I have tried many many headphones but the problem keeps persisting. I forgot to mention that my doubletap2wake doesn't work or my sweep2wake. A couple of days later the guy who owns the shop says the problem is the motherboard. I try to get my money back but I had no luck. What do guys have to say? I came in for one problem to get fixed, then I get another. Worst of all my phone just shuts off at like 50%. I can't restart it or anything, I have to connect it to a charger in order to turn it on? What do you guys have to say? They said that when you open up the phone, the pins that holding things in place break off and people get these issues. Sorry for this being so long.

Sounds like they messed it up bad when they put it back together. What repair service did you use. It might not even be worth bothering with the phone anymore it sounds like they messed it up when they were in there fixing it. Make them fix the entire thing or make them get you a new phone. Judging by how many problems are present you may as well just get a new phone.
Please press the thanks button if I have helped you in anyway.

I do agree it is time to move on to a new phone. Although as much as we want to MAKE THEM get us a new phone because they missed it more then it was already messed up. Not going to happen. I have the HTC one max and I would recommend that and or you could go after the latest HTC device the famous M8

Nope, warranty expired a couple of months ago. The weird thing is, my friend stepped on my phone at school, then when I turned it over, it wasn't cracked and what is more bazzar, everything was working fine, the dt2w, the s2w, the earpiece, the proximity sensor, the camera. Then an hour later, those things were back to not working again.

Here is what I would do in this situation. Sell this phone as a phone that is not working and can be used for parts on eBay. Then with whatever money you can get try and buy a new phone.

Agreed... You should be able to find a DNA on eBay or craigslist for way less than $300.

I just got my DNA from a friend who bought it for $100 used. The only reason he didn't want it is he didn't realize he wouldn't get LTE on AT&T..It's near mint condition...so, they're out there.

The cool thing is that there's more and more great phones for cheap, especially with craigslist!

Sorry ^^^Agreed^^^

Has anyone has problem when listening to music using the socket built into the main unit, sometimes whiles listening to music, the sounds seem to move to the left with the left side being louder, not sure if it's the socket or the some problem with the sound chip, but moving the plug of the headset is not the cause of the problem, but you need to pull the plug out and insert back in to get the sound normal.
sometimes just pluging the headphones in also cause the problem.
Yessss! I thought it was my headphones!!!
I have had the exact issue with my G5 also! Exactly as you described it, I had to unplug and replug the headset to get it to go away. I was using Skull Candy Smokin' Buds....you? I actually went out and bought the LG Tone Pro bluetooth headset instead.

I have a few IEM listed in my sig that I use, all expensive ones, so i don't think i will use a BT IEM to replace them, also cable IEM produce better sound for Hi Res sound, I have also found out that you can skip to the next few tracks/files and go back it will go back to normal, but in all case we shouldn't have to do anything to cover up the problem, I think it's a software problem, but my G5 is going back today and i'm getting a new one through a instore 14 day exchange policies.

Yeah...But this is the second one I've had that issue on! Coupled with the flaws in the glass on the Titan screens...and the silver I had freezing and not turning on...this quality control is really crap on this phone. And that sucks, because I love this phone more than any Samsung I've had!

my first had scratches on the silver line on the case, second had a white burn mark in the screen, and can be seen with all colors, this is my third one, not totally perfect, but I have the advantage of checking the unit in store for problems including dead and bright pixels, but the sound problem was only noticed a few days ago and I thought it was my IEM, but it happened a few times, I should have my B&O unit soon, but this problem should happen whether its hardware or software wise.
I just had an issue with the FM Radio - it kept saying headphones not plugged in! I pull them out plug them back in, and it was OK again! I am using my G4 headphones too so even the same make!! I hope I don't need to return it GRRRR
@jreed3786
I got a replacment phone yesterday, at first I though it ok on this unit, but the problem is there and it's on they same song file, therefore I think the DAC actually can detect this problem that may be it related to the actual file, could be a bad conversion causing the phone to perform like this.
that being said, I have a DSD file that starts to buzz when it reached the end of the song, it happens on the V10 and now the G5, and the time length on the file shows like -9206:-30, whiles played on other units it's ok.
You guys didn't push it in all the way. G5 for some reason has a lot of resistance on the port. I had same experience until I noticed the gap and decided to give it little more force. It clicks in hard and didn't have any issue after that

I know how to plug the headphone plug in, it's not that issue, it's more like a compatibility issue, I have comfirmed this myself numerous time.
Headphone jack issue and more
So I've also suffered from the issue with my headphones plugged in. My left channel is quiet and my right is loud. On one occasion the left channel crackled and completely died. Unplugging and plugging back in my headphones causes the phone software to correct itself. This happens at least every other day. Then, my phone became sluggish a couple days ago and started to freeze and suffer random restarts until last night when it froze and entered a bootloop on the startup screen. I pulled the battery and let it sit for a while and plugged it back in and it entered the OS but was sluggish. This morning I attempted to use messenger and it froze again and entered another bootloop and then died. I took it back to T-Mobile and I've only had it 18 days. They took it back under their 20 grace period and I now have my second G5. This same issue was prevalent in the G4 and LG has recognized that issue. I hope I'm not in for another letdown on this second phone. I just divorced Motorola... Where to next?

Not implying you don't know how. Just saying G5 has port that is tight. No pun intended.

that's ok, i didn't mean't for that either, but may be it stood out too much, I apologize for that, the actual issue is compatibility with the music file and the DAC, sometimes the dac can get really sensitive and pickup minor errors in the files to cause these problems, previously the few files that had the problem has been removed from the phone, no problem since.

So the audio issue I was having is the same as the other posters on this forum. One channel with a low level and the other with a normal level and then having to unplug the audio cable to reset it. However, the ultimate failure of the phone is not. I was sharing with everyone what happened to mine and perhaps I should have started a new thread with that issue alone? I haven't had my second phone for even 24 hours yest so only time will tell and I will post and findings related to the audio here. I use my headphones during the work week so that is when I will know for sure.

Hope you get a good unit, I've been through like 9 units, thats includes instore checking and two units I took home, the second unit I have now without any problem.
all sorts of problem, not just the sound.

Hmm. Very interesting. Thanks for the info. I did see many complaints with DAC on G5.

Exact same thing happening to me, will pan most of the sound over to one side making one ear quite loud and the other quiet. I find if I pause, switch to another app, than back to whatever music app I was using it usually resolves the issue. Hoping the B&O module helps but doubtful considering this seems software related. I'll probably just deal with it this way.
I have the Same issue via aux. Restarting Poweramp mostly helps

I bought it yesterday
Headphone jack is very very loose. I tried to different earphones.whenever i touch headphone jack headphone gets disconnected. Any one with this issue
Only problem with mic enabled headphones
Same problem though my normal headphones work fine. When i use my headphones with a mic it only plays the right channel. I have not always had this problem but seems to be lasting a lot longer today. Normally fixed itself in 30 seconds but has yet to. I tried restarting phone with headphones in, then again with them unplugged. Havent found a solution. Does the B&O module work?
