Anyone who had his/her phone replaced, have you noticed different vibrating strengths? On my first M8, the motor was so strong, it almost was too strong. Just got my replacement one (the first had a broken ear speaker), and the vibrating motor seems too weak. I have the same firmware, kernel and custom ROM installed. I also checked to make sure I have the same setting for virating in the custom kernel. Weird.

Hello XDA!
First, some background: A few weeks ago, my phone went for a swim. I let it dry for a few days and turned it back on, but the phone wasn't very reliable (time would run slow, half the time I couldn't make calls, and the 3G wouldn't work at all). The touchscreen however was perfectly fine. So I found an eBay auction where it seemed like everything worked except the touchscreen. I bought it, and transplanted my touchscreen onto it.
Unfortunately, while most things work, I don't have any audio coming out of the front speaker, meaning I can't hear people when I call them or they call me, and if I call them, I can't hear the ringing that goes on before the person picks up. I read on some forums this was potentially a software issue, so I reflashed the latest RUU, and got nothing. I flashed KaosFroyo v24 and still have nothing.
My current work around is to wear my headphones all the time with it (which isn't TOO inconvenient, since I listen to Pandora a lot). The microphone works. The speakerphone works (since it goes through the speaker in the back).
Does anyone know if it's possible to transplant that speaker as well? It seems unlikely since I'm pretty sure it is attached to the motherboard...
Thanks!
Yesterday, all of a sudden, my SGS2 started rattling when vibration is on. Rattling is extremely loud and comes from left-from-camera part of the phone. It's not the back cover cause it rattles without a cover as well. When I touch that part, rattling stops. Does anyone know what is it (I didn't drop the phone or did anything to cause it)?
Thank you!
I noticed this as soon as I reached home after buying the phone last November. Just played with it a bit and--WHAM. I get this weird, sort of rasping robotic noise when its on vibrate. It sounds like the phone has a cold or something...if that makes sense at all. I suspect something is loose around the camera area. Do you still have the problem...cause I do. It didn't bother me at first but now its just annoying.
Hi, had my galaxy s 2 for about a week and a half now and I'm getting different problems with sound.
2 days after it first started, when somebody called me, they couldn't hear me and i couldn't hear them, even though the sound was turned up to the max. It was the same if i called them.
Ended up factory resetting to solve the problem.
Two days ago it happened again and I just reset the phone again to fix it.
Now, when using swype keyboard its making different sounds, like the sound it's meant to make is there, but when typing certain letters it makes a faint version of that sound. Also, now I have no sound from swype at all, even though sounds are on and volume is turned up.
Is this a phone problem? Software problem (I'm guessing so) is there a fix? Should I contact Samsung to get it fixed?
PS.. I'm only using one non standard app and that is Facebook, and I'm on the stock firmware (latest)
PS2.. My screen is on a angle (Ie.. if you rub your fingers from left to right then at the end you will feel a bump, but if you rub your fingures right to left then your finger will run straight off the phone without feeling a bump) Anybody elses like this?
don't know about the other issues you have, but as far as the very well know "Volume issue" ("they can't hear you, you can't hear them") where volume is nowhere near acceptable during calls, even at max. either you download an app like volume+ (which highers all volume , except handset :-( , I had this phone since the beginning & volume was my issue for a about 2 months. My best advice is for you to update (Flash) to KH1 rom update if you have stock rom, it fixed all my issues with previous roms, and audio isn't very loud, but acceptable.
some tips:
Keep in mind that screen protectors can block speakers (if you have one) and volume can decrease significantly.
Make sure that your ear is placed EXACTLY in the speaker, like if your ear is attached to the speaker (this helped out for me, since I was accustomed to my older phone which used have my ear 1 inch away from my speaker, since it was loud)
let us know what worked for you as well..
Return the phone. The screen should not be like that. Its faulty
My Nook HD is rooted and this issue has happened with every ROM (cm10.1 official, cm10.2 nightly, verygreen cm11 unofficial) I've used. If the volume is up and a loud sound it played, is crashes and turns off my device. I have to turn it on again. It hasn't hurt anything that I've seen. My question is: is there an app to prevent this and if so what is it? If not, could somebody make one (I'm not sure if mine is an isolated issue), or teach me to make one (name suggestion: Speaker Keeper) (or show a workaround)? The closest thing that may be causing this is a busted headset jack (not technically busted). It still works, it just is slighty messed up from being dropped on. Two symptoms, one of which I'm not sure if it caused by this, are (sorry if it get's confusing):
1. If I move the headset plug slightly, it will think I have unplugged it entirely, thus triggering the pause of a video if one is playing. I haven't tested this since I've rooted, though I don't think it makes a difference.
2. When using earbuds (well, at least just this one pair, the only pair I could ever find) one of the earbuds (I forget which one. Again, haven't tested it since root, and don't think it woukd be different) made this rattling noise when certain frequency (I believe so. Kinda like speakers that can't process certain sound so they vibrate) sounds played (deep, I think). I think this may just have been a problem with the headphones.
On a side note another thing with my Nook is that I didn't back it up originally when I rooted it with CWM an CM10.1. I still had my personal files after setting up the root, though. Also when it boots up it looks like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSXxrvE1Ex0&t=5m40s (no, I don't speak... whatever that language is). Could any of this have contributed to this issue?
Hello.
Recently, I had to replace my digitizer because of cracks. While doing that, I also replaced the ear speaker, because the sound, that was coming from it was very quiet and distorted. After doing that, there is now no sound coming from it. I have followed the oficial repair manual, also double and triple checked how I installed it, everything seemed fine. Is there something more, that I need to do or is it a deeper hardware fault? One more thing - how can I check if the replacement speaker is working without installing it in a phone or something like that?
Any help is appreciated.
