Hey people
Woke up this morning and im not getting any audio at all from my external speaker. Not even bootup sound. Headphones and call speaker work fine
I'm running H3

Make sure that it isn't in Silent mode, if it isn't then sad to say that your external speaker is gone. Service Center will be the only option.

Sometimes I need to "twist" the plug to find right position for it.
External speaker i mean the rear speaker on the phone that normally makes all the non call noises. Anyone experience this?

I'm currently having this problem as well. I'm on the latest checkROM, and I have tried 3 different kernels, thinking that was the issue, but it's still happening.
My sounds are playing through the phone speaker, and not the loudspeaker.
If I reboot the phone, the problem goes away for a while, but it eventually returns.
This has caused me to miss critical notifications and alarms, and I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out what the heck is causing it.
Do I have to reflash the phone?
Any advice on this would be appreciated.
Sorry for the double post, but has anyone else experienced this?
Can anyone suggest a fix?
Go back to stock to rule a hardware issue in or out, I.E. if you still have the same problem on stock it's obviously a hardware problem and if you only seem to have the problem with your current rom/kernel the problem lies there.
If it does have the same problem on stock, factory reset & jig it to wipe the flash counter & hand it in for warranty service/replacement.
I have a pretty annoying problem because from the earbud (under the wrtitten SONY) comes interfecences while i'm speaking with someone using the mobile line.
The interference is like that of the speaker near a mobile phone but from the earbud.
someone has the same problem or mine is a isolated case?

I think you mean earpiece...not earbud.
If you hold the phone near your ear you can hear a very high pitched hiss sound while you are talking? The sound has a pattern to it. If so, then I have tried 2 of these phones and they both do it. I don't now if they all do it, but it seems to be common. Some people who don't have such good high-pitched hearing will not hear it at all. You will never hear it if you are outdoors...only if you are at home in a quiet room.

I hear it too. It's the usual GSM "cellphone interference" sound.
Hi i have the same i hear that xd
But what i have noticed this is only in GSM mode ...at WDCMA its ok..i cant hear this .
I have the same problem. Got my first phone replaced and the new one came today with the same problem.
Try only with WDCMA (3G) and See if that help.

Now I did some tests,
I tried only GSM mode and there's no problem, only WCDMA -> the same thing
Good also WCDMA/GSM..
sometimes the problem seems to disappear
Yeah I too have the same issue.
Its not everytime but sometimes,
Its like a electronics interference noise.
Don't know what's this all about ://

I think it's for the bad isolation of earpiece, but someone think the problem come out when the XS switchs GMS/WSDMA

i can hear that hissing too, i ve searched about it, and it looks like latest smartphones have that kind of problem, the only solution i could find is not to place your ear directly on the earpiece, fortunately this phone has a great in-call volume...
earpiece hissing, crackling, buzzing - problem solved
well amigos, the problem finally has been solved for me, reading this forum https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3414732?start=0&tstart=0
so i turned off my phone, i removed the sim card, i cleaned it using a soft cloth, and then i inserted it back, making sure the sim card was placed correctly in the tray, i tested it several times and guess what, there was no more hissing anymore, so the problem is the micro sim-card, those sim-cards must be placed correctly otherwise it will make that hisssing sound
i hope this works for you too
greetings from colombia...
Had my first two calls today, same problem. Interestingly, it gets louder/more noticeable when I'm actively speaking, not when the other party says something.
Sim-Card is fresh from the envelope, so there shouldn't be scratches, dust or fingerprints on it, but I'll try cleaning it up tomorrow. Got the phone set on GSM only, since I've got bad 3G/UMTS signal at home and I'm pretty sure constant "channel-hopping" would drain the battery.
Hi,
got xperia S yesterday. Great phone... only problem is GSM interference in the earpiece. It is there every time when phone is set to 2G. 3G is free of this issue. As I can hear at every call it's a bit irritating.
I don't know what should I do: sent it back to the store (bought from amazon), try to repair in the service centre or learn to live with it?
Can any of xperia S owners make a siple test: put the phone in "only GSM" mode and make one or two calls. Put earpiece close to the ear and listen to it. I wonder if it's design flaw and every xperis S have this issue, or only some of them....
Anyone who got his phone replaced and the new one came WITHOUT the same problem ???

Thank for reply. Anyone who had this problem and managed to get rid of if by repairing / replacing phone ?
Sometimes in a call the earpiece will work other times I have to use speaker phone any ideas? Bad speaker possibly??

I have the same problem :S My phone is LG P970
I spent hours on google... I already tryed factory reset, re-flash using LG's recovery software and rerouting sound using app SoundAbout.
Can't get rid of the problem. Ear speaker sometimes works perfectly fine, sometimes it doesn't.
Speakerphone works with no problem.
ANYONE with solution ? Phone is out of warranty for a while now, does anybody have idea how much it would cost to fix it if it's a hardware problem ?
Thanks in advance
I dropped my phone about 3 days ago and now it seems my microphone has problems. The sound in calls is very low, barely hearable, and if i shout it becomes slightly understandable.
I tried increasing the microphone sensitivity to the max (31) using stweaks, it improved it a little but still its very low.
Has anyone experienced such an issue and any help tips or advice on how to fix this 
Thanks for your time.

Seems to me your options are to either get an earpeice with a built in mic
or take your phone to a repair shop
As above but first step factory reset.
Thanks will try to fix it if it is cheap, the thing is im waiting for the s5 in march and don't want to spend more money on this :silly:
But thanks for the earpiece suggestion, i guess it can be a temporary solution
Hi everyone. I have a z2 and for the past week and a bit people have been complaining that they can't hear me properly. Either I sound like I'm under water or I'm breaking out or I sound low. I'm not sure what's going on. I've tried using a soft brush to clean out the mic but still the same issue. Can anyone advise?

Check in Settings>Sound>Audio Settings>Mic sensitivity that you are on Auto Mode. That fixed it for me at least.
If that doesn't fix it check that you aren't covering the microphone holes at the bottom while calling!
This is not a new problem with the z2,iv had the problem earlier,thanks to some generous xda members i found a way around it. The following threads should put you through.

In summary,flash the custom rom ExistenZ v4.5,that should solve your problems:good:
I have the mic problem with my phone backcase on it, solved by removing the backcase.
