Top speaker soooo faint, please help! - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hi,
since yesterday I cannot hear almost anything from the top speaker on my mate 10 pro.
It's not gone completely, since in a quiet environment I can hear something, but in a normal situation it is almost impossible to have a normal conversation because it's very, very faint.
Obviously the calls volume is at maximum.
Did anybody else experiment this issue? May it be a software problem? How can I test the speaker or is there any hidden setting I should look at?
Thank you for your help!

well try to factory reset the phone then see if this changes anything but backup the important stuff.

Hi enricomemo,
Have you tried factory reset? Did it helped?
I have Mate 10 Lite As a mater a fact, but the problem is the same! It seems to me that problem appeared after last miui update, at least in my case......i don't know what to do enymore! Tried all the secret codes, uninstalling all recent apps, installing all kind of volume boosting apps but nothing helped!
I'm really desperate over here!
Please if anyone has a suggestion on what to do I would really appreciate it!
Thank you guys in advance!

Hi! I also had this problem a few weeks ago. It drove me nuts, because even after a factory reset it was the same. But (I guess) my mistake was, that I kept a full settings, apps and files backup in HiSuite desktop to make the reset as painless as possible. Looks like some bad system setting was moved over.
A second factory reset, where I only kept my apps (did not want do relogin and recertify them all) did the trick. Was a bit more work, but now I have a fully functional phone again.
Only one thing. I think the top speaker was louder in stereo mode before. It defenitely is active again (I tested it with sound for each channel and the top speaker acts as a tweeter for the side it is situated on), but I could swear the stereo effect was much more pronounced before. No way to check that and no way to get this through a warranty case when it works good enough. Honestly, just being able to use this as a proper phone again was a huge relief.
So try the factory reset and DON'T backup any system settings. Backing up all your apps in HiSuite seems fine though and works great.

Also try apps like unclog your speaker. Really works.

[Q] com.android.phone Force closes. from Stock to MIUI

Hello folks of XDA,
I came here because I have not heard any response on the MIUI forums and UI guess is because the community over there is not as big.
Anywayas, I flashed 1.8.5 MIUI, and I suddenly could not see the screen after I dialed a phone number. Then I also noticed that I could not see the answer screen when someone called me.
Everything else worked like a charm, so I thought to myself, well, maybe I have not been back on JFD for a while, so I went ahead and restored the phone back to stock, follow even the MIUI procedure for the massive JFD restore, and it does not matter.... Any Rom from stock to MIUI or CM7.1 all give me the same problem or an app force close, of phone freeze. I can hear the person on the other side if I call, but there is no human way I can answer the phone.
I believe the phone.apk might be the problem, but after trying to do all kinds of factory reset and format, I am still in the same place.
So my first question is, is there a way to fully format the phone and put it with stock apps. Like out of the box? using CWM gives you the option to format the mount points, but I am afraid to format everything and then have a true bricked phone.
Any comments suggestions, questions, please let me know. I been working on this for 2 days now with no avail.
Bump. I have no phone, so it is very frustrating
So I called tech support and see if they had any idea of what could it be. in the end I am back on stock, so what more harm can I do to it right? Well the tech said something that really leave me thinking. He said that the proximity sensor could be damaged. Now that makes a lot of sense, in the end the phone is already somewhat old and I have had my mishaps dropping it from time to time, but luckly no scuffs on it. What do you guys think?
This though is gonna mean that I have to go get me a new phone today ....

GT-I9000 freezes when trying to call

Hi,
I have a really strange problem, that I was unable to find among other people.
So, this is how it started:
I had some old official Froyo firmware with Voodoo lagfix and Voodoo Sound on it. One day I've noticed that it now takes like 5-10 seconds after you press a power button for screen to turn on. It started to annoy me and I decided to update to latest official firmware. After I did, the problem I mentioned disappeared. But somehow now I've got much bigger problem...
Anytime when i'm trying to make or accept a call phone freezes. Black screen and battery icon is all that is visible. However, call itself proceed and you can talk, but the only way to finish it is to remove battery (3G calls still works fine, btw)
I've tried all possible firmwares from oldest ones to ICS... tried all cleanup options from recover menu, stll nothing's changed.
I'll be very grateful if you guys can suggest me anything.
Thanks
Just a thought but make sure bluetooth is off, see if that helps
Read it on XDA a while ago.
Hope this helps

yep, it was water. not that I dropped it in there or something, but guys from service center told me that there was corroded track on circuit board. that's why proximity sensor wasn't working, so phone use to freeze each time OS tried to initialize the sensor

Phone call, text, and speaker problem

My mom's S4 has been a good little workhorse for a year now, but recently it's started acting bizarrely. At random, when she dials, nothing will happen. It will say dialing, the call timer will start, but she can't hear a ringing tone, the caller, and the caller can't hear her. I've looked this up, and it seems to be a common enough problem for S4 users, with no solution that I've been able to find. I've tried to see if something is jamming the headphone slot, but nothing is in there. The only way we can get calls to work again is to reboot the phone, and that works only around half the time.
At the same time, any time this problem is present, Wifi won't auto-connect, or connect at all. It will recognize the hotspots around us, but it just marks them as "saved". If I try to connect, it attempts it, then reverts back to saved. This fixes itself after the reboot as well.
Does anyone know what's going on? Is this a hardware problem that I'll need to replace the handset because of? Will a factory wipe or a ROM fix this? I've been wanting to try a clean, easy ROM for her, so maybe this is the time? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On the subject, any suggestions for ROMs? The Google Play Edition one looked nice, but I didn't know if that came with any significant down sides for her. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a factory data reset is long over due. It should fix any issues thats been going on. If not I would take it into Verizon to get looked at, or call to get a replacement.

Please help me FAST. Screwed up friends phone :/

Hi there. I am in a bad situation.
My friends microphon was working badly when he was soeaking with me on his phone. He asked me if i could fix it. And yes i gave it a try.
I cleaned it with isopropanol and mounted it back togeather.
Now it is very laggy. And reboot itself. It cant make call or recieve call. When i call the phone it sometimes just vibrates after it restarts. Or it just does nothing then restarts.
So it ia not app related because it worked like a charm before ipening and cleaning. What can i do?
It is super slow almost not working. Please save my ass:crying::crying::crying:

What the hell did you do? Isopropanol? Do you even chemistry bro? Did you clean the ENTIRE phone? Also the motherboard? If yes, then all I can tell you is that you are, no other way round it, stupid. You never clean the phone when there is anything wrong with it. And I bet there are many more things that are wrong with it.
Unfortunately there is nothing to be done. You will have to apologise to your friend for breaking his phone.
Alright i made a mistake. I have seen people clean phone with ultrasonic cleaner ans isopropanol. And it works fine after that.
Does it help to factory reset the phone. Could it be any software related issue on it?
Or it must be hardware? Which component is broken i can take part fron other galaxy s3 and solder it on.

Suddenly Dead Phone - after a Night able to turn on, but no BT, no outgoing VoiceCall

Hey Folks,
i ran into some really weird, yet strange Problems with my Honor 7. Let me tell you what happend:
I used my Phone on B140 for more than 2 Years without any Problems. Now i upgraded to B396 (Removed Root+ChineseTWRP, Full Update to B396, then installed TWRP+SuperSU), and used it afterwards without any Problems for like a Week or so.
Then, i was on my Way, looked something on on Facebook, turned it off, after 2 mins wanted to turn it on again - no Reaction. Totally nothing Tried booting it up Normally, to Recovery, To Fastboot - with and without plugged USB to PC, absolutely nothing happend. Had it on Power for like half an Hour, nope. I was shure it died.
The morning after, i just pressed the Powerbutton as a way 2 say goodbye - Empty Battery Sign! Wtf?! I was able to charge and use it again. Unfortunatly with some minor Problems.
- Whatever i try, when calling, i can clearly hear the other person, but the other part cant hear me. I tried it both with headsets and normal, in- or outgoing call, doesnt matter. Generally the mic is working, though. Was able to record my voice and play it back.
- Bluetooth aint working anymore. When i try to turn it on, the switch stays in the right position (doesnt change the color anyway), and afterwords its flipping back. Oh, and when i look at the "about"Section, under Bluetooth Mac it states "not available".
So. What the h*** is going on there?! Like i said, after upgrading to B396, it was working for at least a week without any problems, without the problems described above. So i highly doubt its a general problem with the upgrade/flashing. But what else?
And, any advice how to a) fix and b) prevent further failures?
Of course it would be best to know what initially caused those problems, but i really cant tell. Anyone any ideas?
Like anyone else of course, one needs a reliable phone. I mean, im happy that i can at least communicate over IM (yes, 3G/4G works without any Problems). But i'd love to make calls again, to e.g. tell my boss id be slightly belated or let mum know everythings alright :laugh:
So, any Idea what caused that, how to solve and prevent that is highly appreciated!
Greetings and Thankin u in advance!
Folks, i still have that strange Issue/Behaviour (though, of course, in the Meantime im using another Phone ).
But think that should be possible to totally, absolutely, reset the Phone, and trying to get rid of those Problems. Too Sad to see the Phone collecting dust, where it might be a great Device for a Friend.
What i did by now:
Unroot
Reflash Fastboot recovery, boot, cust, system.
Factory Reset
Update.zip in dload
But there is still no Bluetooth-Adress available, when calling i cant hear the other Person.
It somehow seems not to completely reset the phone - there are still user-data on the Phone.
As i really dont care about those data - is there something else i can do above fastboot flashing those files mentioned above, to absolutely start from a scratch?
