I have CM9 for a day now. In the middle of a call, the earpiece started making noises, when the persons speaks. Like when the volume is too high, but it actually isn't.
Could that be a ROM problem, or is it a hardware problem?
Sounds like a hardware problem more than anything mate Either earphone or the phone itself. But just to be sure, flash back a Stock Rom or something and see if the problem persists. That ought to narrow it down
And if problem persists, then its either phone or Earphone so try with a different set of earphones and then, youll know for sure
Hope it helps
Cheers
Flashed CM9 again, and the problem persisted. Now I don't know if it's worth sending it to get fixed.
Did you check it on another rom and also check with another earphone on the same phone ? That would show if its hardware fault or not
It's the earpiece speaker, not the earphone.

Hi there,
i have been noticing a very strange behavior in my phone these past two days...
my phone is on this firmware I9100XWKE7_CPWKD1_XXKE4 rooted with insecure kernel...
nothing fancy just regular apps
i noticed that when i call or some body called me the mic dosent work at all ...
he cant hear me
switching to speaker ... every thing is fine
rebooting --- no effect
connecting to the charger and then disconnecting the problem is gone -tested once-
Skype testing service ... the same problem the mic only work when in speaker phone
so after this i started thinking it is a software rather than firmware
any ideas ???
encountered the same problem with my gf's lg optimus 7. the mic was defective, there was a short circuit of some kind. had it replaced ( the mic) and everything worked good.
maybe there was some water or some sort of liquid that reached the internals.
nope no liquids ...
this is really annoying this is my 2nd phone the first one had a very loud noise on vibration
gonna do factory reset now
but it appears that when you scream really loud the phone will pick something probably from the noise canceling mic ...
i am out of uk now so going to samsung is not an option right now
so after a factory reset ... it appears that the mic is broken it dose pick very loud sounds though
Hello all
Got the S2 recently...was an HD2 user (with android) and am really impressed with the performance of the S2..though I am not too happy with two things.
- Battery...i just got the VillianRom installed..and I hope to see an improvement there..
- Ear speaker jarring...the ear speaker seems to crackle at certain frequencies. I checked the whole forum and there were some others with the same complaint and was asked to use the Volume+ app..which I have and to be honest i dont see much of a diffrence..the crackle is still there. I want to be sure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue...and how can I really solve it?
Can someone help?
ah.. another fellow s2 holder that has this issue.
YES! I have the same problem and its driving me crazy!!!
its random, and its buzzes, crackle or even sounds like the earspeaker is blown!
What have you done with it? I think I'll probably go change it but just checking here if you have found the solution?
there's one person with a vibrant saying he blew hot air into the earspeaker and it solved the problem (dunno if its advisable) and he didnt say how did he do that.
I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. I use Spotify non-stop on my SGS2, no crackling thing.
I'm not talking about the back speaker, its the front one where you listen to when you're in a call.
Hello! I have the same problem! Like it is distorting. I will take it to service centre today.
I really can't remember I posted that, my bad.
ok I got back my phone from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).
And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!
Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.
Thank you for your answer! I have the same problem. They dont belive that is something wrong. They changed the speakerphone and no solution. Now they tell me that must be something wrong with our network, which I dont belive... I was also suspecting that all have the same problem, they just dont recognize.
Thanks a lot!
I have a strange issue with my microphone or maybe I should call it sound pickup, on my SII.
When I take, or initiate a call, the sound quality of my voice on the other end is terrible, when I use the built in microphone. and I mean LOW ... like it almost sounds like I am not talking into the mike at all...
If I have the wired headset engaged, or a bluetooth one and take, or initiate a call, sound is excellent through the headset. But if I during the call, disconnect the headset, and reconnect it, the sound is also terrible through the headset.
I had my phone for a while running on Lightning 1.2 and sound was great, before sending it in for repairs (battery was faulty). After I got it back, I quickly flashed it to Lightning 4.2 and I can't remember if sound was working before that. I couldn't wait to get Lightning back on instead of the built in crap.
I've tried flashing other roms and kernels, but the problem remains the same.
Any idea's??
I am aware of these threads where people have similar problems, but I haven't heard anyone describe having no problem with the headset, but having a problem when de and reattachiong the headset ... sounds like sw to me. !?!??

have same **** and i search entire forum i heard another ppl have this problem
did u try between ur calls to disable the noise reduction
Hi, yeah I tried disabling noise reduction, and it didn't make any difference. It actually got a little worse, according to my GF but not much.
Can you reproduce that it works fine when using the headset at the beginning of a call?
my problem is that ppl hear in such eco thing and this is crazy everyone say they don't hear me good
Okay. Then I don't think our problems are related.
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
GG
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.
This issue has suddenly appeared. I have tried stock rom (nordic) CM9 and different aosp roms and also different modems, but the problem always returns after half a day or something.
So I can factory reset my phone, make a couple of calls and everythings fine for awhile but then suddenly no one can hear me during calls. I mean there is no sound at all, dont think the mic is turned on. The sound can start to get poor (like im on speaker and far away from the phone) til it doesnt work at all.
I have testet the microphones using voice recorder and taking a video and everything works fine, so i refuse to belive that the mic is faulty. Although its even weirder that the problem still persists after multiple full wipes (format system, cache, data, dalvik) different roms. Probably flashed stock rom with odin 3 times now and the problem is still there. I am now running fully stock non rooted, ive reset the custom binary counter and im ready to send the phone in for repair.
Unless the community can help me out ? any replies are appreciated!
Thanks!
Note that I can still hear the other person but he cant hear me. Switching to speaker and it all works fine ?!?!
What happends when i switch to speaker? does the phone switch microphones aswell? I understand that theres a mic on the top and bottom.

Yes. Regular voice calls use the lower mic, speakerphone uses the top mic. So it sounds like either something is blocking the lower mic, or the lower mic has failed. If you're comfortable opening the phone up yourself, you can try re-seating the rubber housing that is on the lower mic yourself. If not, take it to a service center.
Returned from repair
So guys I received med phone back from repair yesterday and the following parts have been replaced:
Module-RCV+MOT+MIC+E/Jack FPCB (GT_I9100)
ASSY ETC-SUB FPCB (GT_I9100)
And guess what, the problem still persists, my first phone call worked fine, but then the second call failed just like before?!?!!?
Is it possible that there is another hardware fault thats causing this?

Bump..... anyone???
Hmm. Maybe the rubber housing on the mic slipped after the first call, and is now blocking the mic. Or the part failed again. Or did you maybe put a case on the phone after the first call?
