plz let me know if u hear somes broken in ur phone tooo ?

Try this: cover the camera with your finger and apply some slight pressure. Tap your phone. It should not make any noise.

I think I know what you mean... it's as if you feel something vibrating inside for a bit. Have the same 'issue' from which I don't even know if it IS an issue...
For me it's most obvious when I tap near the bottom though, not with the camera (although also a bit there).

it's vibrating, gets pleased and cumin out.. ok.. weird thread lol!

yes if i cover my camera n tap it , then it sounds ok ... wondering if samsung left any part looose?

I always assumed it's the vibrator giving that feeling as you tap the phone. Seems logical at least.

[Q] Virtuous Fusion MT4G v1.1.8 Causing mytouch 4g to make a noise.

i hear a noise coming from inside the hardware not the software. it sounds like something grinding up in there.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is this damaging my phone?
Should I try to re-install it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

A ROM does not make anything grind. I have been using this ROM for a while with no issues. Second, there shouldnt be any grinding anyway. There are no moving parts inside of a phone. I would get it replaced.

If you have something grinding in your phone, you've got a serious problem. You aren't using a phone, you're using a machine disguised as a phone. Phoned don't have moving parts in them. You better get rid of it

I know its not grinding.
It sounds like something grinding to me but I definitely am hear some noise coming from the hardware. After I first installed Virtuous Fusion everything seemed fine, but after a while it began making that noise so i turned it off and turned it on and it still made that noise. So now i am leaving it off until i have a solution.
If I can not obtain a solution then i will probably go back to royal ginger.

I don't think you're understanding us here. Virtuous Fusion does not cause phones to make a grinding noise. If it did, there would be a lot more people than just you experiencing it. There is a problem with your phone, not the ROM your phone is running. If there's a real hardware problem, you should have no trouble doing a warranty exchange.

Ok I see what you mean.

I think I understand what you guys mean but you see i got the mt4g when it first came out for t mobile back in November 2010. I have used it stock up until a month ago a friend of mine showed me his rooted mt4g running cm7.
So i began using Cm7 for a while than i seen Royal ginger had Netflix app(the only thing i really missed about my iPhone). I installed royal ginger and i like it but sense 3.0 looked really cool so i wanted to try it.
So i never heard a noise on stock, cm7 ,or RG and according to you guys the Rom cant be responsible so perhaps its a coincidence that after a 30 minutes of
Virtuous Fusion there was a hardware malfunction.

Are you sure you didn't have a YouTube video or a game in the background that didn't shut down the audio drivers.
The only moving parts in your phone are the buttons, and trackpad. Which have to be manually used. They will not grind on their own.
I would suggest wiping the phone and reinstalling your ROM to see if the "noise" comes back.

Well technically there has to be a moving part in the phone or it wouldnt vibrate. You dont feel any vibrations do you?

Let me rephrase that. No moving parts with gears. The motor for the vibrations has a weight attached to a shaft extruding from the body of the motor. It contains no gears that would create a grinding noise. And if the motor should go out it wouldn't make any noise.
The only thing that could of happened would be a piece of plastic or some other substance preventing the weight from rotating and he would hear it "bouncing" against the medium.

Update on Noise Issue
Hello everyone. First off, I'd like to thank you all for you help.
I ended up re-installing the ROM and I began using it for a day and I was pleased to not hear any noises from the hardware. But curiosity has got the best of me and I attempted and succeeded in recreating the conditions that caused the noise.
To create the noise I re-download all my apps from, turned on WiFi ,gps , Bluetooth, i change the brightness to all the way up, i change lock screen to photo album, and i changed the wallpaper to weather live wall paper and then it began making the nose again.
I would like to get my hands on on another MT4G to see if its just my device or something they all do. Also I'd like to get my hands on a video camera(I don't own one, I use my phone) to record it making the noise and post it to youtube or something for you guys to hear it.
After listening to it again I must say it sounds less like grinding and more like coffee brewing. Or rather like a mix of both. I don't know its weird.
EDIT: My phone no longer turns on. when a charger the red light comes on but the screen stays blank. I've tried removing and reinserting the battery and I've tried to hold down the volume key while pressing the power button to no avail.

A friend of mine who has the MT4G as well tried it out and it was the animation. Sorry for wasting everyone's time but the sound didn't seem to be coming out of the speakers to me.
I feel so stupid now but to fair my device was acting up when the noise came on. it became really laggy and sometimes unresponsive even after hitting the lockscreen button the noise wouldn't stop but it did with my friends phone. Also my device still won't turn on but I am doing a warranty exchange with t mobile. It must have been a coincidence.

PERMANENTLY fix your "blown" speaker

First off this could break your speaker, do this at your own risk.
I have tested this on 2 EVO's with completely "blown" speakers, they both now sound absolutely perfect. From what i can tell, it's a lot of built up metal shavings, they weigh the speaker cone down and prevent it from making the true desired frequency.
You will need a earth magnet, or a really strong regular one will do i guess,(I used a earth mag tho)
First issue: you have to take the phone apart, from there, remove speaker,
(has been covered on youtube so go a lookin)
Now.. take the speaker, sweet diagram huh?(its late) and drop it, foam side down, from about 3 or 4 inches onto the magnet. Repeat. You will see the shavings coming off the speaker and sticking to the earth magnet.
Do it for a few minutes or until the metal shavings are all gone.
Re-assemble, click your favorite player and enjoy!!
I will try to get a tutorial on youtube soon..

u might wanna add a disclaimer as some waterhead is gonna do this and toast their evo!

Why not since you have it apart and risk damaging the speaker by screwing up the polarity of the speakers magnet just drop in a brand new speaker. They can be picked up for a few bucks.

Im on my third speaker in a year,and who want's to wait two weeks for the speaker to get from china? Did another friend's this am, zero problems. I can see where you would think this may cause a problem, but it doesn't, Sound is restored to perfect.
Just trying to pass on what has worked 3 times for me. I would prefer fixing rather than replacing, i assume others would too.

I see this all the time at my store, especially those who work outside and around machinery.
Had one guy blow 3 in two weeks before we finally sat him down and explained in detail exactly why it was doing it before he finally wised up.

just take it to sprint they will replace it for free and do it right there

Assuming you have not disassembled it and broke the seal, and you have a warranty, and you live near a store that does service work. But besides that, yeah spot on.

I work on Evos with broken screw seals. For the average customer, it means they've had it worked on before and the sticker wasn't replaced.

Thanks so much. after having the evo over a year and putting it on my work bench. I never thought about the metal shavings from screws getting in. Works as new

i'll give this a try soon.

This is a cool post but I really do see in the near future some idiots ruining their phones trying to open it up and pulling the speaker out

I don't see why it wouldn't, obviously the idea is that the earth magnet is WAY stronger than the speakers magnet allowing it to pull away the shavings, give it a shot and report back!

Just wanted to point out that unless the speaker is part of a matched pair, reversing the polarity of the magnet will not affect the sound...

Well it will change the entire dynamics of the intended design... therefore changing frequency, depth, and volume. Speakers are designed to push... not pull. If they pull, it will more or less push the sound into whatever it's housing is.

Speakers cracking

I've had my nexus for about a month now.
The speakers were fine until today, the just started a cracking sound on certain sounds.
It's really annoying and it only happens when the volume is higher then 50%.
With headphones the sound is just normal.
Is there something I can do about it? I'm not really a fan of sending my nexus back to Asus.

I had my left speaker crackling from day one. I opened the back cover and took off the net that covered the speaker. That solved my problem. You may also try that.

Took the backcover of and discovered it was my right speaker, removing the net had no effect.
Are the speakers sold apart? And are they hard to replace?

Go back to stock using Wug's toolkit. My sound was broken and not playing, I thought it was a hardware problem but I flashed back to stock. I did that and It worked. It wouldn't hurt to try it. Make sure you backup your apps using "My Backup" or "Titanium backup (root)"

I had the same problem and researched it. I even unrooted and went back to stock thinking it may have been a software problem. But to no avail. It turns out to have been a blown speaker. I couldn't locate a replacement for it. Luckily I purchased it a Staples and was able to exchange it.

Same here right speaker. I figured out that mine has a tendency to "pop" out or something and if I just push it back in I hear a click and no more crackling.
I finally worked out a solution using tape under the mesh to keep the speaker from popping out like this again and no more crackling so far.

Well if it really is perfect otherwise it might be worth it to just tape something over the broken speaker to muffle it or disconnect that speaker it until someone starts selling the speaker assembly.
Temporarily having mono sound won't be the worst thing in the world. Do you really need stereo audio? Especially when the two speakers are right next to each other on the same side lol?
That's personally what I would do in your shoes. Someone will eventually start selling N7 parts on ebay or wherever. Heh I may have to if my speaker blows out again and I can't just "pop" it back in like last time.

my speakers blew out the other day. not sure if its one or both but its unbearable to listen to. i saw the guide on ifixit. seemed easy enough so next i did a quick search and found a place they sell them. its called powerbookmedic they go outta stock real quick when they get them in so sign up for there auto email restock notification thing and as soon as they send u a email run to a comp with ur debit card. i got mine coming in a day. i plan on putting these new ones in and then getting some external speakers to use just to save from having to do this again.

Blown top speaker

When i got my One initially i thought the speakers sounded distorted but didn't pay much attention. Almost a month now, my top speaker def sounds blown. Called HTC to let them know the phone was defective and they wanted me to do a restore, so i hung up. How the hell does doing a restore can fix a blown speaker? I think im gonna have to go back to stock and follow with their crap so i can get this one replaced.

Well if you have installed any sound enhancements during ROM flashing that might be a reason. I don't think it is that unreasonable request that you try to go back to stock to test the speaker again.....? For sure if you take it in to an HTC dealer they are going to say the same thing before repairing it.

As of right now, i will return the phone but also go back to stock and test. I dont recall installing audio enhancements, im running ARHD 9.0. As i said before from day one i noticed a little distortion and progressively it got worst. If i indeed had install a sound mod, wouldnt the bottom speaker be affected too?, i mean thats my logic, i might be wrong.

Neither do I , if I feel it's faulty then the very first thing to do is factory reset. That at least would clarify no software setting involved.

Sorry about that. On the new phone go into settings and backup and reset and make sure it's making backups. If it didn't restore anything then it doesn't sound like it was set up or that it was set up but didn't make a backup.

I'm starting to suspect a blown speaker too. Problem is that both work, but the bottom speaker is clearly louder than the top one.
So either it's by design or not, it's annoying. Not gonna get it changed for now as I don't really use the speakers everyday (hopefully). And it works just fine when calling someone. So I even started it was by design, so I wouldn't become deaf even on lower volume

Bottom speaker is louder than top speaker FYI. Pretty sure this is normal. It would be nice if we had access to the balance.

Yes you guys are correct. I verified with a sound meter in close proximity to each one. The bottom speaker is approximately 2 dB louder. Not a huge difference but 2 dB difference is within the range of human hearing and when you hold the phone up to your face you can tell one speaker is a bit louder. Running 1.29.401.16R with stock kernel and no sound enhancement mods.

I had a blown top speaker as well. Bottom speaker sounded great but top speaker sounded horrible at any volume much above 25%. I got my original phone replaced under warranty and the bottom speaker is louder than the top one on both of them.

I dunno, all i did was root mine and there are times I think the speaker is crackly. There was actually one time I had to change a song because it sounded distorted. I'm honestly just waiting for some major flop before I send mine back. I gotta ask on this note, would it be best to go through AT&T or HTC?
