I'm running DamageControl on my HTC Hero (Sprint) and all of a sudden my ear speaker sounds like its blown! I have never had it on max volume because I have excellent hearing and don't need it that high. Also when I talk I can hear myself echo through it. It sounds TERRIBLE.
What could have happened? Going to do a nandroid and restore Fresh 2.0b2 and see if its still happening.....
JUST A NOTE: DAMAGECONTROL DID NOT CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN TO MY HERO. I AM ONLY NOTING THAT I AM RUNNING DAMAGECONTROL, NOT THAT IT BLEW MY SPEAKER
Cause derp.

might be the hardware...you should be able to exchange at sprint store.warranty.
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/17137-speaker-blown.html
Well, I guess there is my answer. I bought the phone from Radio Shack, will this be an issue when taking it to a sprint store?
depend, after 30 days you can bring into sprint(with TEP much easy/less hassle)before 30 days you can bring back to the shack...i exchanged mine all the time.i have insurance which took care of everything.Mostlikely if tech at sprint cant fix it(most likely they wont fix it) then they will order you a new one....good luck.
Flashed back to Fresh 2.0b2 and still had problem, used my air compressor and blew the crap out of the speaker, tada it works. I'll hit up the Sprint store tomorrow though.
QUESTION:: I should probably revert my phone to stock eh? How would I go about doing this WITHOUT RUNNING THE RUU...That is a scary bastard to run after the other threads around here.

RUU is the only way... otherwise you stay rooted.

You could revert back to the nandroid you should have made right after you rooted but before you flashed any roms. I highly doubt that sprint is going to check deep enough into your phone to realize that it is rooted. If they take it and give you a new one they will fix it, wipe the old OS, flash the stock 1.5 rom, and push it out their door to the next person that needs a warranty replacement.

Well, thing is I made that nandroid backup, and then I accidentally flashed my SD card, so I have no original 1.5 backup (heh whoopsies?) that was back when I was super noob....sooooooooo flying by the seat of my pants here. BUT GOOD NEWS IS 2.1 IS SO FREAKING FAST AND STABLE IT MAKES MY PHONE A SEXY MAN BEAST AND WHY WOULDN'T SPRINT WANT A SEXY MAN BEAST PHONE I MEAN COME ON?!
I'll give it back to them running Android Home with Live Wallpaper turned on. Really make them go "....Huh?"
Nah, I'll wait for it to fritz again and flash the first decent looking 1.5 rom I can find.
I have this same issue, and it did not start until I did flash Damage as a matter of fact. I thought I was making it up and being too OCD. Hey dude, after you RUU back to stock let us know if the problem still exist.
the same thing happened to me. brought it to a Sprint store and they replaced it for free

I just blew it out with an air compressor, 60lbs pressure output, and it fixed it. Went back to DamageControl rom and everything is ok so far. Maybe the software on the rom outputs too much to the ear speaker? Maybe the Nexus One has an earpiece speaker able to handle louder noise? I don't know... Being a nix core, you can easily put too much power to something....
Somebody correct me if I am wrong?
I have heard that dust gets in the speaker and clogs it up. Saw a thread on Sprint a while back. I had the same thing happen to my phone and they replaced it no problem. That was before 2.1, so I doubt the OS has anything to do with it. Again, probably dust, the speaker does have a lot of open surface...
This has nothing to do with the 2.1 ROM. Me and many others had the same issue while running stock firmware. I got a brand new hardware v.2 Hero out of it.

I took mine in to a Sprint repair center, they verified the speaker had an issue and they placed an order for a new handset. It came in 24 hours later and we swapped my broken unit in for a brand new one.
I bought this phone directly through Sprint online, not sure if that matters. The whole transaction was smooth for me.

replaced the speaker or the whole phone?
If anything, DamageControl1 seems to handle loud audio better than the stock 1.5 Sprint ROM did. I have a few mp3 files I put on my phone to use as possible ringtones with RingDroid that sounded too bad to use with 1.5, but actually sound quite good now under DC1.
Theory #1: 1.5 rendered the mp3 to pwm without regard to the nonlinear frequency response of the phone's electrostatic speaker. 2.1 runs it through a DSP companding altorithm to concentrate the sound's volume in the bands the speaker can reproduce well, and attenuates bands the speaker can't handle well. Net result: louder perceived output with fewer artifacts.
Theory #2 -- 1.5 did a hack job on the audio before sending it to the speaker, and arbitrarily clipped it to some max ordered by Sprint's upper management or legal department, whereas 2.1 either goes out of its way to properly compress the dynamic range, or (being open source, and having its kernel parameters dictated by concerns of audio fidelity rather than paranoid theories of legal risk) simply doesn't care, and sends the rendered audio straight to the speaker without further mangling
I'm assuming that both ROMs do mp3->PWM entirely via software, and the Hero has hardware codecs only for hardcore things, like video (and even then, only for things like the acceleration of inverse discrete cosine transformations).
First of all, I know that I have read about this problem in other threads but I cannot find it; I think it was associated with custom ROMs but I'm not entirely sure.
I have two problems with my sound right now:
popping
Every time the tables boots up the speakers pop. No a big deal and it might be just because they get activated and the current causes the pop. But every time a sound is made? That is annoying!
humming/screeching/buzzing
Now this is the scariest problem. The sound that comes from "within" the tablet, i.e. behind the screen and not the actual speakers. It does not always appear but seems to be linked to apps trying to use sound. It almost sounds like a hard drive spinning irregularly or a distant old dial-up modem (weird analogy, I know). I don't know what's causing it but in my opinion it's not a good sign.
Again, if anyone here remembers where it has been discussed already I will take the blow as long as I can find out if the problem(s) have been solved somewhere.
Thanks y'all!
1. Everyone's device does that. It's just the way the device wakes the speakers before playing a sound as you say. Would hope Asus could do something about that in the future.
2. It sounds like you are hearing the screen's backlight frequency. Not everyone will hear this (as we lose the ability to hear certain frequencies as we get older), but again it happens with everyones device, and is normal with any screen using a backlight.
Do you have a custom rom on it?

Yes, I do. I use the PRIME! 1.4 ROM and the blades-clemsyn overclock kernel. It has been an issue since the 3.1 upgrade I think. Never had it stock though so I cannot comment on issues with the stock ROM, unfortunately.

What makes this theory a bit wobbly is that the sound isn't always there. It seems to be application-specific. I would expect a backlight frequency (like a fluorescence bulb?) to be audible whenever the backlight is on and not during one application running but not the other.
Process of elimination.
Roll back to stock and see if the problem occurs. If so, sounds like you’re going to have to return it for an exchange.

Each app will tell your device to process the images onscreen in different ways, whether thats the refresh rate, resolution or just pixel density, so you would still get different frequencies from different apps all the time. Anyway I'm not saying that's 100% the reason, it's just a possibilty based on what you were describing.

Very good points! Never thought of it this way... Do you also think it's worth going back to stock and try to figure it all out or just take it "as is"?
If it is what I thought it was, it won't make a difference which rom you use, and it's a normal feature of the tablet. You must live in a very quiet place to hear it all the time or have very sensitive ears. If it's not that, then trying another rom as mentioned above may help you narrow down the list of causes. If it's annoying you too much then possibly it IS a fault with the tablet and in which case you'd need to get a replacement. If it was me I'd probably roll back to the stock rom just to see.

After 20 years of listening to metal I highly doubt that my ears are that sensitive but you never know I might try the stock ROM as soon as it has been rooted but for now I don't think it's worth it. I was more worried about something inside the device being tortured

I hear the buzzing sound too and I am also unning Prime 1.4 ROM and Clemsyn-Blades KERNEL. I hear it on the Left side of the tablet and sounds like its coming from the speaker but more towards the screen edge. Never heard it on Stock though.

I'll have to wait for another reboot to test this, but I hear what I call high pitched 'tweeting' from the speaker I just have to touch the volume up/down button on the tablet and it seems to instantly stop.
I'll test here in a bit. Using Primordial 3.1 and the OC Kernel at 1.4 right now.
Update: 'twas my imagination on the touching of the volume button. It squeals a bit thru all the ASCII art and status boot screens, but settles down when the lock screen appears. Not a nuisance, but audible.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I updated the Clemsyn-Blades v6 KERNEL to v7ELITE and I don't hear the buzzing sound anymore. Maybe it was that version of the custom KERNEL. I will check it out, maybe it is just random.

It's the custom kernel you're using, mine was doing the same thing with some weird high pictched sounds too. I reflashed the stock ASUS kernel and it hasent done it since. Just to make sure, I reflashed the custom kernel you're using and the speakers make the humming noise again.

Sound like you got a Bee in there eathing rice crispies
Hey guys. Im running the 02/23/12 nightly.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing lower-than-par headset quality. I'm very particular with my music, and i listen to a lot of the same songs repeatedly, so i know exactly how they are supposed to sound.
Forgive me, I'm not too keen on audio lingo, so its difficult for me to describe what I'm experiencing: sometimes it sounds like the volume is fluctuating. One may even say that it sounds like my phone is having a difficult time when there is heavy bass and heavy treble at the same time.
Regardless of my ****ty explanation, has anyone else noticed a difference in audio quality since using the new nightlies?

I have noticed the past few updates Supercurio has put out that they have made the sound almost "wavy " if that makes sense. I just reverted back two builds ago and all is back to normal. Think he is recoding Voodoo app to integrate free and plus into one app and something isn't gellin too good. I know exactly what you are talking about and it is hard to pit it into words. Pretty sure it isn't exclusive to CM.

Hello,
This is my first post so sorry if something is done wrong or whatever. Ive been having issues with my front speaker. I dont think i did anything to break it (i drink a lot though) but its been completely useless for the past week or two. I have the latest cm 10.2 and franco kernel nightlies. I thought updating them might help but it didnt. I also can no longer talk to people on speakerphone like i could before (while the speaker still didnt work). I also tried headphones and now they dont with either. Does anyone have any idea what it could be and/or different ways to fix the speaker?
Thanks in advanced!

Easy to test, go to a very quiet room. Really quiet. Put your phone to your ear while screen off and listen. (Not phone off)
You will hear a faint sound, static, cracking well some kind of noise.
This is nothing new, and not just bound to this phone. However I had this issues only on the Nexus 4 and never noticed it on other phones I had.
It becomes a bit annoying while in call, really quiet room, and every pause, when both parties are not talking.
I think only option is learn to live with it? As if the numerous threads from N4 and other devices are true, this is a HW fault on all devices. Some ppl just do not hear it. What varies is the intensity, which ppl reported that exchanged their devices.
Is there someone on some variant not hearing it? (State your age as well)
Is there someone who exchanged their device based on this problem and got a new one with a different level of the noise?
Mine is international LG D802
I do hear the pops and squeals when I'm on a call, but not otherwise. VZW version, rooted, stock rom, "A" version of modem/radio.

The sound that you experience, since its through your BT as well, might be normal connection/call sounds. I have this really on all phones even sometimes on iPhone. But if its something tha tyou do not expect to hear, and have it constantly , bring it for repairs, I do not have somehting out of the ordinary in the calls, except what I described in the OP.
What I mean its really like static electricity, cracking sounds. But its faint, you won't notice it in normal environment, at least not when you do not know what to look for. There are youtube videos for the N4 with the sound I mean. cant listen to it now, as I am at work but I think something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wOxtzStUZ4
you really need a quiet environment, put your ear to the earpiece.
Also thanks for your post!
I am on ATT and noticed this and I was thinking about returning it but I tested the display model at the ATT store and the same thing. I tested an Iphone 4s and the same thing with the earpiece. I think this is more common than people think because you really have to be in a quiet setting to actually hear it. Thanks

I'm sorry for bringing this from dead, but have you guys found any solution for this? Or it's not fixable once it occurs? charging + headphones +v4a developed this bug this evening on my g2.

My ears or better brain adjusted... same way you adjust to every annoying sound after a while. It is there... but you stop caring - hearing it.
I do not believe there is a software fix. If your problem is the one that I described, new hw might help.
But as I said. I adjusted ...
Definitely seems to be hardware problem. If I knew about it earlier I would never connect headphones and charger at the same time. Symptoms: static noise @ approx. 120bpm from both speakers, while phone in deep sleep.
Tried uninstalling v4a drivers, app, poweramp, flashing different kernels, clearing caches, and what so not.
I don't want to raise hope, but I found temporary workaround. I'm on stock kk, and I use g2 tweaksbox and gravitybox to get statusbar aosp quicksetting tiles. There is a compass tile. If I leave it ON there is no more noise. At first I thought that maybe this prevents phone from deep sleeping, but bbs is showing that phone sleeps well. Have not tested standby battery impact yet.

Hi,
Thanks for the remainder, as I noticed latest @dorimanx kernel eliminates this (from v 8) and my itchy fingers installed Viper4Android again and yes I struck my luck the distortion starts again...
My conclusion is an option between have better audio performance in mid to high volume level. But, lived my days with G2 enjoying the distort...
Or uninstall everything about viper4android and listen to flat music beat...
And I choose ingore the distort and drive away with awesome audio performance in my bluetooth car audio....
Cheers,
Hey, do you have xposed? I noticed that if I enable compass in quicktiles, there will be no more crackling. But I'm not sure about battery. So I use this when it's quite, in the evening, and I start hearing cracks, I just turn on compass.
