I use my rear speakers heavily. Ive had mine since launch day with no problems.

Nope, no issues till now.

Yup.. my broke a few weeks ago...is it free to replace?

Yes replacement was free..the first time the service center was able to replace the speaker in the phone in about an hour
So it is field serviceable

So today my speaker started working again..best guess as the speaker is field replaceable it is just plugged in and can get a loose connection

Are you running stock, or do you have a ROM that could be increasing the volume?

Weird Buzzing Sound From Speaker

I was using Gingerreal 1.1.0, based on KPN and yesterday noticed a weird 'bzz' sound when playing music (stock music player, then winamp). Thinking it was a GR bug, I flashed a fresh, stock KPN and still notice the same distortion. This happens even when listening to ringtones, in the system app. My question is, is this common at volumes of 10/15? Or has my speaker gone bad, and I need to get it checked? I use 320 kbps mp3s, so the quality of the mp3 file isn't in question (happens with ALL my songs).
Thanks!
It happens to my mp4 player, computer and phone. It should be either the jack getting old, or the disk drive getting old. just a guess! Because i've searched google which turns up no results.
I've had it ever since the day I got my Ace . I'm still thinking whether it's an antenna problem or speaker fault .

I meant my loudspeaker. The in-call sound is most likely carrier dependent. Even my bootsound is surprisingly loud. And thus distorted. Time to get it checked?
PS. I should revert to the stock Asian Froyo before visiting the service center, right?

Yes , the sounds came out of my loudspeaker too .
So you say it is normal? But shouldn't the sound be normal even at the maximum specified volume? What's the point of having levels till, say 15, when only till 9 the sound remains clean?

You may have harmed your speaker previously .
That's what is even more surprising. I've barely used it. All the side stickers are still there. And I usually keep it on vibrate. Sucks really. You take full care about scratches and stuff. Then this happens. And the service centres will probably ruin it. Happened with my PSP, iPod.. :/

You could try going into service mode and changing the pre-amp in the sound settings .
To get into Service Mode , download SamServMode .
BE CAREFUL ON WHAT SETTINGS YOU SET THERE .

Can anyone confirm if their speaker doesn't buzz at loud volumes? I want to be sure before I claim my warranty at a service centre. People here in India don't always accept claims..

I think you're referring to lags. I get sounds as if there's something that's on the speaker filament, and touching it. BTW, what do I change in the Service Mode? I tried rebuilding speaker values, set pre-amp for MP3 something and speaker to 0 db. No effects. It really is messed up..

3.5mm jack problems

Just bought my second AMAZE. Rooted & S-OFF yesterday. Don't kno if it is from rooted or just a hardware issue. ANYBODY ELSE!!!!!!!
what's your problem?
My Headphones. Keep disconnecting. And I tried two different headphones
Both headphones work on my glacier so I kno its the phone itself. Just curious if anybody else encountered the same problem if not then its definitely an hardware issue.
I'm starting to have the same issue, my bro had this.problem as well. It is a hardware issue

I usually use BlueTooth but i remember the batt being a bit flat so i plugged in to the jack and it seemed a bit cracklely.. Sounds like a common fault.

No mine does not work at all when you plug in the headphone jack normally, I have to plug it in slowly untill it works

On one of mine on headphones with mic and button, button click in not recognized.
On another works just fine.
Tried 3 different headphones – same result.
Installed app to detect/configure clicks – it doesn’t see any button clicks.
Headphones and mic works fine on both – means every ring on 3.5 jack has proper contact.
What else could it be?
I can plug super slowly – the icon changes from headphones to headphones with mic.
But button doesn’t work still
I see I'm not the only one with this problem I'm just surprised cause my phone was only one day old. My wife has the same phone non rooted will check hers tonight when I get home from work. If hers work I'm just going to swap it out and see if still has the problem.
OK so I stopped home reel quick and checked my wife's phone and her non rooted phone jack does the same thing so its either the OTA UPDATE or they just gave us a crappy jack port to all phones
I'm testing it out on my phone right now. What is it that I'm looking for because everything is working here for me.
Well I'm listening to a song on YT though.
Don't know if that makes a difference.
The headphones keep connecting & disconnect like every couple of seconds. It will not hold a steady connection for the headphones.
mine was fine before OTA, now i got the same problem
Some headphone got compatibility problems n usually gold tips don't have probs with any phone or mp3

[Q] Mic destroyed

Hello good people of XDA!
I'll just get straight to it, well basically due to some water damage the main mic on my s2 is screwed, it just produces weird static for the other person to hear on call. I intent to get it fixed soon but just havent found the time. I believe there are two mics on the S2, so I was wondering: is there some way I switch to that for phone calls, for the time being?
Im rooted btw
Could you share your rom details for further advise
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Im not aware of any but there could be some hack to enable it as the primary microphone. Its the noise cancellation input mic. Its located at the top right side of the phone besides the audio jack. Would be hard to talk into it and hear the other person at the same time, wouldn't it?

I use, mic-less earphones (ear buds or whatever you call them ) so thats not a problem. A hack of that sort is exactly what I am looking for ^^
I know I could just get some earphones with inbuilt mic but If im going to do that, I might as well get my phone fixed instead
bump?
Anyone?
why don't you simply repair it? Or you like your phone being crippled in this way...
Im out of town and in a place where i cant find a reliable place to fix it, im going back in like 4 days. So just need a simple hack for the moment

Ahhhh speaker blew!

Wtf how can this speaker pop if it has an amplifier for the speaker. I am so mad I hope Verizon fixes it I only had this phone for 2 months

We're you listening to it at full blast or did you have any other amplifier besides beats because if you did then that could have also contributed to it.

having an amplifier doesn't mean you can't blow something.

Yeah but the difference is the DNA has better internal audio hardware and if it gets pushed far enough it will.
I would go through HTC, if they warranty repair it they can fix the device and send it back instead of replacing it.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I don't even use the speaker I use headphones and usually keep my phone on silent or vibrate. If you can deal with not having a speaker it's probably better than sending it for repair they are probably going to replace it and if you are rooted and s off unlocked right now you will lose everything and need to jtag your replacement.

The speakers matter. Keep those amp and throw ****ty speakers on it. Raise volume. Speakers blown.
So in the instance of blowing speakers, they are correct, the amp isn't what is keeping it from being blown.
An amp is an AMPLIFIER. It amplifies sound. It isn't protecting speakers from being blown, if anything, it is helping the cause.

Yes and no, an underpowered amp will blow a speaker faster then an overpowered amp will on the same speaker, it clips and starts sending voltage and burning the coil. So in a way an amp does help prevent speakers from blowing, but only to a certain point, then they can also still overpower the speaker.
If that's what happened to the phone, I don't know, but saying an amp will prevent it is inaccurate, but so is saying an amp will cause it, it's all in what the amp and speaker combination is capable of.

But the amp was made for the speaker therefore it was just a faulty device

The 2.04 OTA screwed up my sound control. I didn't have sound issues before the update, but after...horrible. The sound profiles for headphones and normal (no headphones/headset) would change volume settings at random and would reset to a default full volume every time I unplugged my headphones. Then while headphones were in the volume would jump to full either randomly or when the first notification came across even with the settings for ringer and notifications were all the way down to be silent. The only thing I have the volume turned up on normally is the alarm. I prefer vibrate over sounds. Less than a week after the 2.04 update, my speaker started to crackle. Within a month it was dead. I could get a few seconds of sound out if by squeezing the sides of the phone. Just got my replacement yesterday and it has been good so far (on 2.04).
Both of these phones were completely stock. I have my old HTC One S for playing around with root, but if unlock is figured out for the 2.04/2.06 phones I will be rooting to avoid the chance of this happening again.
