[Q] How to fix the speaker volume? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hey guys,
I've been having an issue with the volume on my phone. There is very little sound coming out through the speaker on the back. To be able to hear anything at all, I have to stick the speaker right up to my hear and even then you can barely hear any sound even though I've put the volume on max. When I plug headphones in, the sound is fine. Only when I'm trying to listen to music without earphones or trying to hear my notifications and ringtone when someone calls me, it gets very little sound. I'm using AOKP Jelly Bean 4.1.2 if that helps. This starting happening when I was using my Nike+ Running app. Music was playing while I was running and then all of a sudden the music stops. I found out that it didn't stop because my music was still going when I plugged in headphones and the sound was still coming out of the speaker but very low that you could not hear it. If you guys have a solution, please help me out. Thanks.

I did have something familiar and was the headphones cable not properly connected...

The problem is the speakers not my headphones. Headphones i get sound perfectly fine but when I'm using my phone without the headphones I get very little sound.

I'm assuming you've tried doing a full wipe before posting this question, as if that fixed there would be no reason to post this question? If not, do that. That's always a trouble shooting step that should be done before posting. If it doesn't fix it, it could be a hardware issue.

That was my last resort because I dont want to go through a full wipe but I'll try it.
Edit: Did a full wipe as well as unroot. Still doesnt work so I assume it is a hardware issue. Thanks for the help guys.

Well that sucks man. Hope you can get it fixed. Apparently mobiletechvideos fixes phones for relatively cheap, could try them.

Had the same problem on a captivate one time. There was lint in the port for the headphones. Cleaned it out and speaker started working again.

[SOLVED]X10 Mini earpiece volume too low

Forgot about this thread. Problem solved since long ago.
How's music now? Is it also very low just like in calls?
I guess you've already pushed the plug all the way in, moved it and so on.
If it persists I suggest trying stock 2.1 again and check how it goes, or plug it into a laptop/pc/speakers/ipod or whatever to see how it sounds before going back to 2.1.

Its when I talk to someone, so only in calls. The volume is perfect with headset, but without headset I can barely heard the one I talk to.

[Q] No audio from external speaker

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.

[HELP] Weird buzzing sound from speakers

Maybe electrical interference?
Move the tablet away from any other electronic devices (especially mobile phones) and see if it persists.
It hasnt really been near any phones..my phone is about 1 foot away from the touchpad..I have had it closer before and it hasn't made a noise..
I think I know what you mean, the sound is like a short buzz or "Donk" sound. I sometimes get it when I first click on the pad or when I swipe up to close an app.
The only thing I can think of that I did was installing the increase sound patch and later removed the patch. It started after that.

I got this after going through various patches, although I didn't install the sound patch. It went away for me after a few reboots.
To the OP, you may have abnormally good hearing and can hear the white noise speakers make when they're activated, try it with some other devices, see if you hear the same buzz, if not, call HP and get a replacement.

Touchpad weird sound
Ok so i just got my Touchpad 16GB yesterday and while i was playing around with it, i noticed it doing a weird sound like when those old speakers where powered on. I updated to 3.0.2 and it still does it.
Ps: Its not the WEE easteregg sound
Not sure what sound you mean but it shouldn't be making any noises you don't want it to. Get in touch with HP to see if they can fix it for you.

Well, i bought it from ebay (from canada) so im not sure if they will even think about checking it.
It makes that sound only when its not in 'mute' and when im using it. When the screen is locked, nothing happens. It sounds like a little shutter noise of half a second length.

Faint popping sound

Anyone else hear a faint popping sound after 2 seconds of any sound being played ? It sounds like the sound is from the speakers turning off.
Hey
My HTC One does this as well (started a thread about it just recently), and it was the first thing I noticed on the phone when using sound on the keyboard. Extremely annoying and seems to be a wide spread issue.
wide spread? where else have you heard of this problem? does it happen on the international version as well?
Wondering if i should return mine and get another.
Other users have been reporting the issue as well. I'm located in Canada, and members from the US have said their phones have the same problem.
Yea just read your post on the international forum, seem like a widespread issue. Well I hope its just software

I was just coming here to post a thread about this. I notice it when playing music too (Pandora and DI.FM) it pops/static every second or so.

I hear a little tiny sound that plays immediately after sound stopping, but it's certainly not 2 seconds, that sounds like a problem
ATT HTC one that I just bought.
software version 1.26.502.10

Not sure, if I do have it I don't seem to be able to notice it. Where is it most prominent, I tested by starting and stopping Pandora repeatedly.
I believe it is the software keeping the amp on for a bit too long. I would assume this will be fixed with a software update

Make sure you are in a very quiet room, then play something on youtube, then hit pause, and listen very carefully. you should hear a faint popping sound as the speakers turn off after you pause the video.
let me know !
thanks

Ah, I can hear it now. In Pandora as well. Personally it's of a low enough volume level on my device where I don't think I'll find it annoying, but I still hope it's software related. Also seems to not be effected by the volume level or beats being on.

yes i also have this problem. unlock the phone and put ur ear upto the speaker. you will hear static and after a second or 2, a pop. almost like speakers are left on longer than requred...weird.
I could verify, I too was getting that popping sound. It's one of the first things I've noticed as soon as I got the phone home. I'm not trying to be overly OCD cause overall I think this phone is perfect and has none of the other flaws and defect mention on this site.
But I thought I should mention I haven't been able to replicate the popping sound.

Popping sound is gone now. I haven't changed anything but it seems to be gone for now. Maybe it needed a reboot or something? Or maybe because my battery is almost dead...

Haven't noticed it, but I'll check it out tomorrow. Time for some sleep.

if you sent it in for this buzzing then it will get sent back. Possibly a new device, but will still have the issue.
it happens when the speaker is producting static and no output. until the speaker turns off.

Thank you. It's especially noticeable when you put on the sound clear audio + option, try it with like some built in ringtones or notifications. Also when I listen to some music with this enhancer it like crackles with the enhancer on...

Guess it's similar to the image/video enhancer which makes some stuff unbearably grainy
I do hear some buzzing if I play a song and there are some quiet parts in the song, but it doesn't buzz after the song is finished. Same with YouTube. I can only hear it if I hold the speaker up to my ear, and since I just noticed it now and I had to "look" for it, it doesn't bother me since it's not noticeable under normal usage.

Same here, i only hear it when it's ultra quiet in the room. Not annoying to me, gives me an analog feeling

I have received a new phone from warranty and it does not have the buzzing that I was experiencing with the previous phone.
I'd link an audio sample to my issue, however xda won't let me.
