Hello guys and girls.
I've got problem with my x829 - the main speaker works very weak and quietly. I know, there is only one speaker - in left hole, the second one is microphone, but it sounds really ****ty and quietly. I've tried to flash custom roms like lineage, aosp(?), resurrection etc, tried to setup dolby, viperfx and others and it still doesn't work correctly. It sounds like huh... membrane is pierced? Honestly, i dont know how i can describe that, but im very dissatisfied. Headphones works very well, call-speaker too, but this one drives me crazy. Do you know how 2 fix it? Let's assume, there is 10 degrees of volume regulation. When im using 2-3 (20-30%), that works nice, clean but still quiet. When im adjusting it, thats not going to be louder, but it sounds worse and worse. Or where i can purchase new one? Or which one works P&P to replace it?

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 keep getting awierd sound from speakers after the device has been asleep..sort of like a buzz sound..can't really explain it..but it happens when the device first makes a sound after its been sleeping..anyone know what this could be? Kernel maybe?

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.
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
Hi,
I've seen tons of threads from complaining that the SGS2 is not loud enough, however for me it is.
I use in-ear shure headphones with Etymotic plugs, which make it go really deep in my ear and isolate me from the evil outside world.
Anyway, I am not sure where my problem comes from. I used to have CM9 nightlies running as a daily driver and always kept them up to date. My sound was fine. I even installed Voodoo LOUDER to pump it up a little to get the perfect volume.
I recently installed CM10 and either the volume settings have changed or Voodoo messed up with my hardware because on the lowest settings, the music comes out really loud (I use Rdio which has no volume control settings).
Does anyone have any trick to change that?
Thanks
Gary
Same thing here. Never used Voodoo Louder or anything like that before though, so I doubt that could be the issue. I hope someone has some idea as the sound distorts even at a quarter volume.

It's because audio is still screwed in CM10. I get the same :-\
If you use PowerAmp enabling DVC will help with getting things a bit quieter, but it's still not perfect.
I'll give that a shot thanks
Edit : Didn't work sadly.
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and a n00b, so please be gentle
I have an old Xperia Z2 which I bought in 2014. The phone is fantastic, and in complete working condition till now. I recently updated it to Marshmallow as well and it works without a hitch (in comparison to my daily driver - Galaxy Note 4 which went really sluggish with Marshmallow). However, I have a strange problem which I'm unable to rectify. The earpiece volume on the phone has gone really low. This problem popped up sometime last October (even while on Lollipop), and I didn't worry too much about it as I had my Note 4 as a daily driver. But I'm now using 2 SIMs, so I need this phone to work.
The sound from the earpiece has become extremely low, and it is impossible to hear the other person when outside even with low traffic noises. I've tried tinkering with all settings/methods available, shutting off the noise cancelling mic, trying to clean the earpiece grille, performing a hard reset, but nothing helped. However, the volume is fine when playing audio through the speakers (I'm not sure through, I assume that the earpiece doubles up as a speaker - I may be wrong). Everything is fine with wired/wireless earphones though.
Is there a way I can tweak anything to make this better - I mean, all I want is the earpiece volume to be loud enough to be usable. The phone has been out of warranty for a long time, so I'm fine with rooting it. However, I'm a n00b (as already mentioned), and I need some guidance on how to do it. Also, I'm a bit wary of taking it to service, as firstly the phone is out of warranty and repair would cost a bomb surely, and secondly - I don't want to mess up the water resistance (not that I dunk it in water, but it's a nice to have feature).
Can anyone please help me out with this? Also, does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
if you are rooted and have a working recovery try this audio mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...-dontbelive-marshmallow-stereomod-v1-t3366065. It increases the speaker and earphone volume and i am using this mod on my z2 this is great.

Did you try raising the volume with the vol+ button while inside a call??

Not that kind of advanced n00b. Yup I did, the earpiece is at highest volume.
