Hey guys...So I've searched the forums and the interwebs trying to find if anyone else has this issue, but the top speaker on my HTC One is significantly quieter than the lower speaker. It also is super quiet when talking on the phone, as in I have to be in a quiet room and the phone forcibly pressed against my ear in the right place for me to hear anyone. This happens across different ROMs leading me to believe it's a hardware issue, but I was just curious if anyone else has encountered this and found a fix?
Have the same experience. No clue if it's normal or not. Doesn't seem to be too huge of a deal when held from a distance.
True, but the phone call quietness is what kills me.

I have also noticed this, although for me it doesn't affect the volume of my calls that significantly, so I don't know if mine is just not as bad as yours, or what. But yeah, it's weird. Kinda defeats the purpose of the whole "stereo speaker" thing...

Doesn't matter which ROM or kernel I use, from stock to kitkat it still does the same thing, which makes me believe its hardware...
At this point I'm just waiting for the z1s to come out haha

lighting rom, but i believe this issue was said to have started before, however i could be wrong!
just grabbed my next door neighbour and did 2 way test, i walked around the block on his 7 year phone and he sounded muffled on mine - went back to my phone and he was having trouble making me out but sound clear to me - bollocks!
guess i better flash stock back again.

This is exactly what happens to me!!!
I suddenly start sounding muffled...
when my wife goes out of town...
and I go on a drinking rampage.
But then she comes back, and everything is back to normal.
Sorry OP, for makign a joke here. Yeah like others said, try factory reset and then restore factory firmware.
Some ppl claim that this happens when u r using a case cover blocking the mic for noise reduction. Try using it without and see if this solves the problem!!
Hope this helps!!

With the phone itself. It seems to be a certain location your mouth is to the mic just causes muffled sound. And the noise cancellation seems to be part of the issue, doesn't work correctly. So turning it off sometimes helps.
well i called O2, and they are swapping me a brand new one tomorrow, as i have had one month!, ordered on 25th May and called yesterday being 25th June.
they are bring me one to my house - that is service!
i did try flashing stock rom, but no difference, tested my mates and his sounds fine, pretty sure there is an issue. oh well a new one will do!
To be honest I'm not even sure it's a noise being produced by the NFC feature, but a post on Androidforums mentioned a noise similar to the one I'm experiencing and suggested it maybe due to the NFC feature of the S3.
Basically whenever I move my device up and down, or out of my pocket and place it on a desk or table, it makes a large "blip" like noise. It drives me absolutely mad, especially when attempting to use the device while golfing or bike riding, constantly blipping in my ear.
Can anyone else confirm this noise so I know I'm not crazy? Even better, could someone inform me how to disable this?
Thank you.

No rom, unfortunately (VZW) but one of the first things I did was disable S-Voice when I first received my S3 over a week ago.

Disabled s-voice? Aww.. mess with it. If you tell it you want to die, it suggests talking to another. Say the word "******" and it chastises you. Ask it if it has a soul and it gets existential on you. There are other ways to mess with it. Have some fun.

Hi guys,
First of all I am not talking about main speaker which you listen music, this one is working great. I am talking about the one you listen when you talk.
So that speaker on my Evo 3d is on very low volume when speaking to someone. I can barely hear other people even though I maxed out volume using side buttons. Now if it's very quiet around, I can hear normally, but otherwise it's very hard to hear.
Any ideas what it may be? Is it possible for some reason this mic broke? Maybe there are any mic booster apps or something like that?
Cheers
Flashed another radio ROM and still very very low and unclear volume on speaker even on maxed. Any ideas what it may be?

I think it's a hardware problem. As time passes, dust, sweat and all kinds of filth go through the little protecting net making your speaker membrane unable to move as it should.

Unfortunately, yes. But do one thing first - flash sense ROM and see if the sound is better. Your sig says you're on CM 10, they have a bug similar to your problem.

Tried several different roms but still same problem. Wonder why did this speaker break...
Hello everyone!
I have an HTC One on the AT&T network and just recently it starting acting up.
I love the phone to death, but it is creating an extremely awful hissing/loud static sound when calling someone.
It only happens on the other persons end. I can hear them just fine, but on their end they can't hear me AT ALL.
Very wierd thing is that this only occurs when making calls via on-ear. When making calls through speaker phone it's perfectly fine!
Anyone have any ideas?? This is a very wierd situation, and I can't seem to find anyone else who has this problem!
Thanks in advance!

It's wierd also becasue a video i took a wekk ago has flawless audio and the one i took last night is AWFUL. I can't figure out for the life of me what could have happened!
Will keep you posted when i flash a ROM most likely tomorrow if HTC can't do anything for me!

Hi, curious if you tried another ROM and if it helped the sound?
just a quick tip just incase type~~
do you have anything covering the ambient sound hole on the back side under the power button?
or even your hand when you are talking on the phone?
I know mine used to sound messed up on the other end when holding the phone with my shoulders because it was covering that ambience sound hold.
just a thought

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that during shoulder use. But personally, that's not a factor with my issue.

I had the same problem and it freaked the hell out of me. Someone in XDA suggested it might be because of incorrect gain levels and to fix it you can try making a loud noise near the microphone. To my surprise it did work and now its perfectly fine. I called a friend and shouted as much as i could and then blew as hard as possible into the bottom mic hole. Not sure what fixed it but its worth a shot.
Does anyone else hear a faint crackling from the earpiece, similar to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/hear-faint-static-earpiece-normal-t2454552
It's very faint, but enough to bother me a lot during a call, and it persists, but not as much when I am out of a call.
This is normal right?

I used to have this problem but then someone here (can't remember who unfortunately) told me to open the dialer, click the menu button, go into call settings, and disable voice enhancement.
Ever since I did that I haven't heard the crackling. Hope this helps
I thought I was crazy when I heard it but turning off voice enhancement doesn't get rid of it. Fortunately it's faint.
Yeah the voice enhancement didn't get rid of it :/ Is it worth returning it in for a new one? It's already rooted :c

I'm debating returning mine although mine isn't rooted. But I bought it at best buy so would best buy be the one to exchange it or would sprint since it's their device?
I think Best Buy would replace it, but I bought mine from Amazon :/

I just spoke with a Sprint rep, and she told me that this crackling issue is common among their other LG G3 customers, but it should NOT be occurring, so I'm going to send mine back to Amazon and get another phone that is hopefully not defective.
After a second trip to the sprint store with the problem already documented in their system they finally agreed to order a replacement for me. Hopefully the new one isn't part of the same batch that had the problem.

Please let me know the outcome. I'll be honest. I'm not sure this g3 is really all that I thought Or hoped it to be. I'm not saying it sucks. I do believe were all just really in need of an update. Lots of quirks. On mine at times.

OK update... New replacement in hand since last Saturday and made numerous calls with and without the charger connected and do not hear the crackling... Definitely a faulty unit.
Take it back if it is. They may not take it right away unless they can reproduce the sound immediately. Eventually they will if u take it back and complain a second time.

The crackling does not sound like a blown speaker... it sounds more like electrical noise interfering with the audio of the earpiece... I'm thinking it was a grounding issue...
