I don't have that problem at all mate, so there could possibly be an issue with your phone.
Here's a link to the thread where you can find all the branded firmwares. Flash the relevant one to get back to how it was when you got it.

sorry for not being so explaining it proeperly, its more like buzz

does it buzz on every word that is said or does it sound worse when certain frequencies are reached, i.e vocal frequencies. If this is the case it simply be distortion on the carrier signal, ie nothing to do with the phone, if you get it playing music it may well be damaged in some way, best thing to do it take it back as compare it to one in the shop or ask a friend who has one to try it. When does nothing like this at any frequencies, although I never have it at full volume.

....don't worry change (modem (radio)

any luck with the modem change mate?

Welcome tot he forum
Hoping that is not a hardware related problem I would do a reflash to try to solve it
Read in the Wiki on how to
Hope it helped,
That happens one day in the car travelling home that the sound suddly stop working i restart the xda and everything (not reflash) but nothing work i will try to reflash it because i think is not a hardware problem
is the first time i try to reflash my pda but i have a problem when i try to downgrade it that shows error 260 and i dont know how to fix it
ok, i fix the problem with upgrade xD my english is not good at all and i missunderstand some of the instructions, but after read 100k of threats and 5 hours trying things now is upgrading to tomal rom i hope that this will fix the problem i had before
after reflashing the ce two times the sound is still not working, i am updating now the radio from 1.09 to 1.15, the stereo speakers make a little bit of noise when a sound is played, the headphones dont work, the phone speaker works propertly, and the microphone works but only send the voice to the phone speaker ¿? i dont know why happens this last thing
radio updated and the problem continues anybody can help?
I think it´s a hardware related problem
Try to take it to a repair center
Good luck,
I have the same problem. When a sound is played it just clicks and that's all. I had a problem with my ribon cable and I took it out. I've done that before (it's my second cable failing), so I knew what I was doing. I was off for a about a month untill I got a now cable. When I put it back together, I had no sound, just that click thing. I can't take it to a repair center. If anyone has a solution, please share.
I also found that my camera does not work. It says Failed to initialize camera. 36001:100:1. I tried a different rom, but still have the problem.
Also I tried to make a phone call (I'm not using it as a main phone, that's why I just found that out) and I can hear the other person, but they can't hear me.

i also check my camera after reading your comment and i also have the same problem, next month (because this month i will travel and i cant do it) i will send it to repair a tell you what the solution could be
PD: orb3000 muchas gracias por ser tan atento
I have good news. Something happened. I dont know what i did... but i got my sound back (and camera. main camera at least).
As you I flashed the rom, then the radio rom and I still got the problem. So I thought I'll leave it like that untill I find a solution. And I thought.. well i can at least play some games on it and I downloaded Archibald. I put it on the phone. Started it and ?! I had sound. Again I dont know if I did something before that, but I got it working. I'll attach the game, maybe it did something. Give it a try.
Again I have no idea what I did. It might have some bad connections somewhere. I remember I had the same problem (either with the Universal or the Wizard) but dont remember how I fixed it.
Here is a link for the game:
i install it but the miracle didnt happens i also will try to remove the battery it have on the motherboard to make a cmos clear (like in a normal computer). Lucky you i will keep trying
I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't if it matters but my small mb battery is dead. Apperantly it died during the month the battery was out. Everything works except that when I do a soft reset, the clock resets too.
I have these problems too, does anyone know the specification of the mobo battery?
I have the sound problem but mine doesnt work even with headphones in and i also have a problem with the keys being activated when the screen is in a certain position. Could all of these problems be casued by the ribbon cable?Rob
As far as my expirience goes with the ribon cable, it commands the touch, the lcd, mic, speaker on the lcd part. the keyboard has it's own cable. and it snaps to the motherboard. maybe it's loose or something. For the battery I got http://cgi.ebay.com/Dopod-D900-900-T-mobile-MDA-IV-Qtek-9000-backup-Battery_W0QQitemZ350170469398QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGPS_Accessories_Cablesthis on ebay. But mine looks a little different.
also happens to me when i make a soft reset the clock also restart could be all because the mb battery is dead?
OK, we are getting somewhere Since my sound got back, whenever I reset I get to keep my current time. So maybe my mb battery fixed itself or charged.
I am pretty sure now that is what's causing the problems. If you could disassemble your pda, try playing with the battery. See if it is not loose or something. Try to short-circut it. Get a something form metal and touch both pins. Also try leaving your PDA charging over night.
I hope you fix it since I cant seem to find that kind of battery over the internet.

Bad call quality

So apparently whenever I try calling anyone they say I sound loud and I have an echo kind of. My mom who used to be a ham operator described it as sounding "tinny" (the metal). My wife and my other friend said it sounds like I am talking into a trash can. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?
u can try:
1: do a wipe
2: pull out sim and reinsert it
3: re-search network
hope it helps
Ok I wiped the phone and pulled the sim and what-not, but my wife told me I still sounded the same. So I took it into my own hands to have her talk into the phone while I listened on her cell phone.
Apparently it's not really an echo as opposed to you can just hear EVERYTHING that is going on around the person with the phone. The microphone is either just really too sensitive or it's not one-directional (bad design or my phone is defective?).
I just realized what it sounded like. It basically sounds as if my outbound is like I am talking through a speakerphone.
EDIT: basically consensus with my friends and family is that I should get the phone replaced. However, I purchased the phone off eBay (it was brand new unopened) and it has a 1yr. manufacturer warranty. So I have 2 new questions...I am currently rooted and to my understanding if I follow the directions here http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unroot my phone will be unrooted, willthis make the phone ok to take in to be replaced? Also, will the technicians at the t-mobile store be able to replace the phone there (if they do find something wrong) or will I need to mail my phone somewhere and wait for it to get mailed back?
hmm.......have u tried re-searching the network again?
maybe its the hardware prob, have u thought of bringing it back to where u bought it?

I bought it off of ebay...there was a "no returns" policy on it.
Also, how would I get it to re-search the network? I wiped the phone then took out the sim and put it back in.
to do a re-search of the network:
go to:
settings --> wireless controls --> mobile networks --> network operators
and it will auto start searching
other than this method, i dun seem to have another option for u.....
but whats the reason why u got it from ebay?

Thanks for the help, but it didnt work. Realized that I could just check to see if it was the mic by plugging in the headset it came with and using that. The outbound quality with the headset is great, while the quality with the internal microphone was bad. Think tmobile will replace the phone for me? I got it off ebay because ebay is generally cheaper than other places. My past two phones were off ebay (Moto Q and HTC Touch).
Have you flashed to the newest Radio?
haha
ill never get it from online....its too risky :S
So HTC will send me a replacement...but now I have the problem with the phone being rooted and having a custom ROM on it.
Does anyone know how to restore the phone back to factory default?

I have had the same problem since rooting my phone. I am 99% sure this is a software issue rather than hardware. Just updated the radio, but won't know if it worked until I talk to my girl in the morning. She hates talking to me since I rooted - she can here everything in the background. Seems like somehow, the speakerphone mic profile is active even when on private calls. So annoying.
The problem you are having has to do with the volume hack which is included in many roms. To rid yourself of the issue you can push the normal equalizer files from a stock build and reboot the phone. I think the volume boost hacks are of dubious use anyways. As in my opinion the phone is already too loud even with the default equalizer.
does cm have this hack?
I think pretty much all of them do.
Hi,
Did someone found a solution to this problem? I have exactly the same since I rooted my phone a few months ago.
Where can I find the sound hack file?
Thanks

loud speaker problems

hello i receive my g1 yesterday. very happy so far. only problem i notice. is that my speaker stops working. what i mean is that one moment the speaker works and after some second i hear a little noise and stops works. after some seconds is working again. and this is happening all the time. does any body had this problem before
Need to post some info in order for us to help.
what info do you need ?
does anybody knows whats the problem with my speaker.? or if somebody has the same problem
the info he means is did you root it? what rom are you on?
I have the same problem. It's happened twice on me now after the phone has been booted up for about 70 hours both times. Pretty much this is what happens for me...
Out of no where I notice that my Loud Speaker volume just weakens tremendously and becomes slightly crackly (very feint) as if it can't play at that volume anymore. After a reboot it works like normal. Although I don't know whats causing the problem. I'm on stock cupcake firmware right now.
Yea addiosamigos was right. I was asking about if your phone is rooted? What rom are you using? Did you do any audio hacks? And anything else helpfull that you might have done to your phone.
Hello sorry for the delay. Yes my phone is rooted and iuse acyanogen 4.01 rom now I didn't do any audio hacks. The problems existed before I rooted the phone. And two day ago my earpiece speaker died also. Don't know what's happening with my g1. Does anybody know where I can find spare parts for my g1

If it has happened on the stock rom and custom roms and wipes or different roms don't solve the problem then most likely a hardware issue. I would contact T-Mobile or HTC for a warranty replacement before trying to fix it yourself. The phone is still under a year old so its still covered.
unfortunately in my country there is no t-mobile and the phone i bought it from ebay

call sound problem

Hi I have a serious problem with the call, I connect you hear cracking noises from my speaker phone, just a bag of chips if you hear cracking, while the person whom I am call may hear me well mean. I already have about 7 different ROMS been trying, even patched back into lower stock roms, all radio versions tried, unfortunately nothing helps, I hope that someone can make me see the solution through some registery tweak .my unit is only 5 weeks old. . in advance than any solution.
greets,Hans
sorry for my bad english,i am dutch
Me too.....
Hi mate,
I would restore factory SPL version with carrier`s ROM and send it back to the store (as long as you have valid warranty). It looks like hardware issue for me.
Kris
And I say...can you try the phone with another carrier?...just to test it.
Cheers

Sound on my galaxy note 2 is muted

I just bought the device yesterday new, and from the first use i had a weird issue, the sound is muted, all sounds , music play, calls with speakers on and screen sound, sometimes it works and sometimes not, when i plug the headset i can hear everything
Any solution ? i won't wast my time to go the warranty, is it software or hardware issue ? i did factory reset and still the issue come back
Seems much like software issue, have you downloaded and installed latest N7100 firmware? With odin you can do it "officially" without losing warranty.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I will do it hopefully it solve the problem
i did it and told me PASS, but after booting up the device i found the same background and all my settings still there like nothing happened , and now the the all mobile sounds are gone forever even with restart not working
Please guy i need a solution !!!
Still no one to help ?!!! where's the experts ... can anyone at least tell me for sure is it software or hardware issue ? and the warranty can detect that issue ? cause sometimes the sound working fine for hours

Wow, this stinks. If it were my brand-spanking new phone, I'd return it. It almost sounds like a solder issue. My Note 2 has a very loud speaker with excellent quality (nice bass) while listening to podcasts. When on a call using the earpiece, it's actually too loud. I haven't figured out how to turn it down yet, not a critical issue.
Do you get sound at the Samsung logo when you restart the phone? If not, it's a hardware fault and exchange it.

The weird thing , sometimes the sound of Samsung logo working at the start up and sometimes not ... when i just got the device and start to unbox it and turn it on .. it didn't make a logo sound .. but later sometimes it does !!!
i gave it to Samsung today and they told me it will take 5 days .. they will make new software format and then check the hardware . i hope they detect the problem cause sometimes it works fine for hour and the sound disable just happen for minutes !!
Any Ideas ?
Thanks for reply
Also, go into the dialer, type in *#0*# and go to the Speaker to see if it works.
I went to the warranty and they told me it will take 5 days for troubleshooting, they said first we are going to install new software then you will have 48 hours for testing, if the problem persist they will change it for me , i don't know if they can discover it, Also here's some link for some users have the same issue :

Thanks
I received it from Samsung Maintenance and they implemented new software installation and told me the problem solved, anyway i took it and just going to my car the issue happened again, i back to them they told me they will troubleshoot it again !!! to be sure that the problem persist !!! WTF
Any ideas will be appreciated

try pressing on the main speaker, the point of contacts of most phone speakers are just behind or sides of the actual speakers just to rule out loose contact. also try to master reset if it doesn't work try reinstalling the rom to rule out software problem. Otherwise, I would return it for a replacement. Good luck.
Edit:
If pressing on the speaker temporarily solves the problem, I would still ask for replacement.

Anyway , so you saying it's mostly a hardware issue , right ?
Thanks for your support
Did they get this issue fixed for you? Mine is doing basically the same thing, but only the media volume, it gets muted randomly and I can't adjust it, so I reset the phone and then it works.....any ideas???
