Hi all,
Had my Touch HD for 24 hours and I noticed last night that I was getting a faint popping / hissing out of the speaker when playing back a song.
Long story short, I think the speaker in mine is stuffed. Can't play back anything, and it wasn't even at high volume. This is affecting ringtones, windows sounds, everything.
The 3.5mm jack sounds are fine. Just the little speaker next to the camera.
Anyone had anything like this happen?
Think it's going back for a replacement!
Cheers.
Nothing worse than being the only person to have a particular issue with a phone!
Just FYI in case this does crop up again, I tried cleaning around the area, microSD in/out, hard resetting, etc. Nothing worked. Was sort of hoping it was not really the speaker being dead but something else, but my speaker is officially screwed!
Back in the box with you, Touch HD. You're RMA'd.

Well i think its true. why? read on!
I bought my XDA II a few weeks ago. Its a love & hate machine & i won't get into that. But i think i have damaged the speaker .. as in i can notice sound getting distorted at times. It probably happened when i played this audio file at full volume .. which was actually for less than 2 seconds!! Ever since then, i can tell how the sound from the speaker comes out distorted. Same exact thing happened with my brother, where he played some song at full volume & it apperntly blew his speaker. I've soft reseted the machine multiple times (who doesn't!) ever since but no hard reset yet.
Although my question is .. is it really _that_ easy to blow the speaker?! The device should either have a speaker that can handle the amplification it is being providing, or not amplify the sound to levels the speaker can't handle. Blowing your speaker away on the first attempt to play something loud seems awfully lousy to me from a machine's design point of view.
Has anyone else experienced such problem or know of some remedy? I don't want to open the machine up & get the speaker repaired. Would really appreciate any help on the matter.
Thank you all.
Hi m8. Don't know if you've tried this but I had a problem a while ago where I could not hear any sound at all. I could make a phone call and ther person on the other end could hear me fine but I could not hear anything. I found the way to make it work again would be to squeeze the thing at the top near the earpiece (as if it was a loose connection).
Like I said, don't know if you've tried this but it worked for me. Have you got warranty?
Hey Camel, i have had my sx56(wallaby) all the way apart, and the only thing attatching the mainboard to the speaker are two little spring-loaded contacts, perhaps try tightening the screws on the back of your device (if it's anything like mine), this should make the connection between your speaker and mainboard more secure.

hey mate,
yep same thing with mine. now anything above about 50% in a phone call and it's all distorted.
pretty annoying, i've just got to get around to opening it up and checking the speaker contacts/replacing speaker with a spare.
will post results.
Hey guys,
its been one hell of a ride with my HD2 and its not looking good. Several days ago my HD2 started to act up when i'm talking on speakerphone with cackles sounding like it has been blown. It then starts to lose its volume growing increasingly lower and lower until i can barely hear my speakerphone even when trying to play music and the speaker phone pressed against my ears on max volume. Strange huh? it gets weirder. Today I've finally had it and called customer service. They are sending me another one and ill have to ship the one off when the newer one comes. But out of boredom, I wanted to test out this phone again and see if i can manage to make it work but the speakerphone has completely gave out. No super low volume no nothing from the speakerphone but i heard my music pretty loudly. Strangely enough it came out from the regular front speaker with abnormally loud volume. For a second i thought my speakerphone has came back to life. But now my music, my ringer, everything that has sound comes from the front speaker instead of the speakerphone. Anyone have any similar experience? But to be honest, this sucks big time - _ -
never heard of it, but i have a problem with my rear speaker die before and T-mobile CS sent me the replacement HD2 within 3 days.
did you try hard reset or master reset
yah i've tried the hard reset and the factory reset from the setting>security>factory reset menu many many times actually but same result. I even went as far as update my 2.10 rom to 2.13 but same thing. I have actually just rebooted phone and now the sounds seem to be ported back to my messed up speakerphone now. muffled cackling with super low volume even on max.
I went ahead and got the 1.99 for extended warranty as i think this problem might happen again to the next phone i receive. How is your new one by the way? any problems so far as far as the speakers are concerned? My first HTC experience isn't such a great one. HTC "quietly brilliant". much too quiet in my opinion.
My HD2 has the same issue. Sounds like the speaker was blown. Called T-Mobile and they are sending out a replacement.
so far the replacement phone is working great, you have 12 month warranty from HTC/T-Mobile.
Hi All,
When i take video with my omnia 7, it tapes without any sound. Has anyone come across this problem.
Thanks
I've come across this problem myself. I was at Soundwave back in February and half my videos had no sound, but some DID. I couldn't explain it. So I tried to experiment with it at home and found that the videos had audio each time. Thinking it was just some sort of weird one off thing, I went and used to phone to record a video at Future Music. Again, some of the videos had audio, some didn't.
I thought maybe the problem was that the audio at the concert was too loud and the noise cancellation mic was thinking EVERYTHING was noise, so it was cancelling everything, so I tried experimenting with the video for a couple of days after that. Again, some had audio, but some didn't this time, even when the volume levels of the ambient noise was very quiet.
So, after looking into it some more, I read one theory that it has something to do with a bug in how the Omnia 7 disables the speaker when something is plugged in (possibly into the head phone jack? I don't remember). I haven't really been able to find confirmation of this, but I'm hoping that after updating the phone, the problem has gone away.
I'll come back and post my experience when I know for sure
Thanks Deemar,
I have exact same problem, however I have only ever had one recording that actually recorded sound as well.
All the others have no sound
anyone????
same problem too :/ but i noticed the mic stopped working in other apps too such as shazam - it seems to do this from time to time randomly! very weird and annoying! havent noticed since nodo thought?
I haven't had the opportunity to experiment much since NoDo. But the videos I HAVE recorded since then (a grand total of two) have had audio. Knock wood, the problem might be solved...
Some days ago my Touch2 started acting up - I guess after it got a bit too humid when I was wearing it under my T-Shirt while walking. The Touchscreen did not work. When I removed the battery cover I noticed the phone was a bit wet inside (sweat), so I figured that was probably causing the issues. After turning it off, removing the battery, and leaving it to dry for a day it was working OK again.
Next day I got a phone call (first one since drying after the the touchscreen issue), I answered, heard a pretty loud and distorted sound out of the speaker for less than a second, and then I didn't hear anything anymore. The other person could not hear me either. Since then I cannot hear people making calls, and they cannot hear me - but the loud sound was only heard once, now I hear nothing. The alarms and ring tones are playing normally, though.
I already figured out that the phone seems to think there is a headphone plugged all the time, since the headphone icon is present all times. With the headphone everything is working OK as well. So I guess it is the detection acting up. I am guessing this is a mechanical detection (opening switch when plugging in), but I am not sure. Does anyone have any idea? I will also try to look inside the earphones hole, trying to see if anything is mechanically broken or stuck... repeatedly plugging/unplugging didn't help, neither did blowing inside there...
Any ideas?
Edit: My Mega has a HK CHT Stock ROM, flashed over the Taiwan CHT ROM after hard SPL. I tried resets etc. but no hard reset yet.
Hey guys.
Is anyone having a problem with the loud speaker sound?
My volume is only half way and there's a tingy/ crackle sound coming from speakers.
It seems like at certain notes or frequencies I hear it but it happens most of the time and it's very annoying.
Everything sounds terrible from my notification sound to even playing games.
I sent my phone in for an issue not long ago and it took 2weeks to get a replacement. Don't really want to send it off for another 2 weeks but I can't live with this sound!
Thanks.
Sounds like you partially blew a speaker.
Quit playing your music so loud? =)

i never play my music or turn up my sound to max.
im really careful with my phone! didn't even take off the plastic screen for 2weeks until my screen protector and hard case came.
loll.
if it is partially blown is this covered under warranty?
thanks.
Never turned it up, eh? Take the back cover off and see if there's loose debris where the speakers are that could cause rattling. Also try playing a song or something to see if both or one of the speakers is doing it. If one or both is in fact blown it should be covered.
Something like this just happened to me this morning.
When ever I raise the volume and right before I hear the "beep" sound this crackle sound comes. I turned my phone off and on and it was good.
