So I rooted yesterday. pre root the speaker was pretty loud, and had my iPhone 4 owners declare it was louder than theirs. today I noticed that the speaker is much quieter than it was yesterday. All my settings are the same, and yes the volume is up. what's up with that?
Had the same issue, no clue what it was, i just reset my phone and it all was good =)
A simple reboot of my phone solved the same problem. Not a reset, but a reboot

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.
Has anyone else noticed an extremely reduced amount of sound from the speaker phone during calls?
Wow i thought that this was just my phone playing up, but yes I have noticed it's dramatically reduced.
I've got the same exact problem....The question is, is this jf1.5 specific? or do ppl running haykuro & other builds of cupcake have the same problem?
Thats what im wondering too. I loved the speaker volume before, as i am in CA, with the whole blue tooth stuff. I didnt have to get one, i could hear everyone with the phone in my lap...
Now...It's like just talking on the phone normal...
Looks like we're all in the same boat. Speaker volume sucks now.

Works fine for me. Just as loud as it was with RC33 if not louder, I usually have to turn it down a lot.
Working fine here too. I'm using JF's 1.5, and I did the usual wipe before and after upgrading.
There is an obvious change in volume. I used to listen to music on my phone while taking a shower but now I can barely hear the music from my phone over the sound of the water.
Is there a fix or hack for this??
maybe its something with the radio? Idunno. This is funny b/c I couldn't turn my speaker phone down enough last night while using it. It was almost too loud.
How many of you did complete Clean wipes before install?
I installed Via JfMod Updater App...Maybe it was something to do with this? And i haven't installed the radio...
it seems louder than b4. I did a complete wipe and my phone has never run better.
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.
Hey everyone,
I've tried searching for a resolution everywhere but I can't seem to find anything.
About a week ago I noticed the speakers on my phone are a lot quieter than normal. I noticed this when I was on a conference call and I could barely hear anything if other people I was in the room with were talking.
I went home and tested it while listening to music from my phone and comparing it to the speakers on my nexus 6. When I first got my 6P, it was way louder than my nexus 6 but 2 months later, I can't even hear it at full volume when my nexus 6 is playing.
Has anyone else's speakers gotten a lot quieter since they got their phone? Any advice?
Thank you!
I have not had such an issue. I assume you've tried rebooting the 6P already. Next, I would try to reboot into safe mode to rule out a bad app. Finally, I would attempt a factory reset to see if the problem is resolved. If not, I'm afraid you'll have to contact customer support and possibly get a replacement.
Hi all, I have nexus 6p 64gb stock on android 8.0. Yesterday, all of the sudden my phone's speaker volume turned extremely low. I performed a factory reset and no avail. Both speakers work, but the bottom speaker is fairly low and the sound is muffled - similar to a ripped speaker.
Can some confirm, that my speaker is dying? and also if I replace a speaker, would this issue be fixed? Not sure if I should invest in a new phone or fix this. Really, not looking to spend big time money. Called Google and Huawei, no help as the phone is 1 month over warranty.
