[Q] Speaker Problem - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I noticed this by accident today, after a few days of usage. The speakers at the bottom of the phone do not work equally(or symmetrically?).
I was holding the phone in a weird position and my fingers were closing the left speaker and sound was fine. I switched hands and right speaker got closed. I wasn't able to hear anything. I thought it was something to do with the video(youtube) then tried with other webpages and the preloaded mp3 from vienna choir. It was all the same. So I get the sound basically from right. The left one is virtually silent.
I can't go the store and test the phones on display. So do you have the same issue?

Only has one speaker other is mic , it's cosmetic

Lol... I actually did 2 exchanges before I figured out there's only a right speaker. The left one is the microphone. Like the guy above me said, it's just for looks.

Calls sound "far away"

My wife's having an issue where calls through the earpiece are hard to hear. You can hear an ambient sort of noise which sounds like its at normal volume but callers on the other end sound very quiet. She has resorted to putting every call on speaker to hear. Her mt4g is stock, non-modified/rooted. Any idea what the problem could be, or what I could try fix it? I tried searching, but the search on the mobile app isn't as easy to use as the full site.
Thanks!

Well this should be in Q&A but it sounds like hardware. Has she dropped in water or any other liquid? If not and you bought from tmo you should have a warranty to cover a replacement

I bought it 2nd hand a month ago, so no chance of warranty replacement through tmo. Was hoping there'd be a fix available without having to wipe the phone. The water indicator is still white and there doesn't seem to be any physical damage.

Speaker broken?

Has anyone had any problems with their speaker going out? Mine is starting to have that annoying vibrating noise when in a call, almost as if the speaker has come loose.
Just curious if anyone else has had this issue.
As a matter of fact I just got my rear speaker replaced Sat. Only took em 5 min. Mine sounded like crap. Staticy as hell before.

this is actually the front speaker, so it gets that extremely annoying sound when trying to hear what someone is saying. I called up Sprint and after convincing them that I live too far from a repair center, they're sending me another phone this week for nothing.
Haha I blew my back speaker blasting music in power amp with the eq set to make it REALLY loud... Were did u get it replaced

A Sprint repair center can replace your rear speaker

was my earpiece speaker, not the rear speaker. And I didn't want it fixed, I wanted a new phone. I told them I lived too far from the repair center to go, so they sent me a new phone

Rattling sound when phone put down.

Hello,
Last week,my Nexus 4 slipped out of my hands, face down on It's screen. I thought I was screwed, but luckily the phone was perfectly fine.
Since that day though, it seems like the usual rattling sound that comes from my Nexus , is becoming worse. Maybe it is just inside my head, but maybe not.
Especially when I lay my phone on a hard surface, I hear an irritating rattling sound, coming from the top of the phone.
Does anyone else experience this? Or is it just me? My Nexus is working perfectly fine tho, so nothing has broken.
I am waiting for your thoughts!!

Camera shutter? That's made a slight rattling sound for me, it may have become worse for you since you dropped it

Headphone jack broken?

Hey everyone, so today while walking home, I noticed that one of my headphones wasn't working and I was pretty pissed because I love my headphones, anyways, so I tried my other headphones and experienced the same problem, so I concluded my phone broke. So, I've spent about 20 minutes poking around with it and blowing air into it, and I've managed to get one side working, but the other side isn't. One thing I noticed was that the side which isn't working is the side with the mic and these headphones -do- have the 4th prong. I don't have any 3 prong headphones to test with, so I'm going to go to my friends house and test with his, but does anyone know how to fix this because I love my four-prong headphones because the clicker and they're just awesome. Thanks, all help is appreciated.

if its in warranty, they will fix it.
Rooting and all never matters for hardware damages!
Hmmm, I bought it off craigslist, but it was brand new, do you think warranty applies? And do I call LG(

Please can someone check this?

Hi folks,
Just got my new G2 today. I noticed that when playing music sound is only coming from the bottom right speaker grille. If I cover this there's no sound. Can someone check theirs and confirm if this is normal? Is the left speaker grille just a dummy then? Thanks!

Same here and I have the AT&T variant. The right side is the only side that sound comes out of. I'm thinking the left 'speaker' is the Microphone. Just like on my iPhone 4 there were two speakers, but one of them was a Microphone and the other was the actual speaker.

i have the Verizon variant, i would assume they are the same. the sound only comes from one side mainly.
Thanks for that richiev. I suspected that was the case as it certainly seems loud enough and it would be odd to place stereo speakers so close together. Cheers for confirming it for me!

They all only have one speaker. Verizon chose not to give it the stealth look.
One strange thing I have found is if I'm playing music with media volume set to full, if I put ringer volume to silent it lowers the music volume, ,,, or is it just me?

Don't notice the volume lower but do noticed a slight click from the first music played.

That's interesting. The same thing happens here. I guess it's a bug of some kind.
