So I'm experiencing a problem with my phones sound when I'm on a call. It's very low on distorted. I tried flashing another rom, same problem, so I'm thinking hardware specific. I have two g2's (gf's) and only hers has this problem, we've had the phone for a month with no drops, water damage, anything.
Any help appreciated.
I think that i'm having the same issue. I have D802 version 32 Gb White.
In mine the call speaker sounds distorted from 40% of volume aprox.
I think that is a HW problem too, but i don't call a lot and I bought the phone in Hong Kong and is hard to manage the warranty there.

Good luck .
I think that I'll keep with mine and hope the problem does not get any worse.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced their Atrix crackling or distorting when making calls using the earpiece or speakerphone. I searched around and it seems a limited number of people are experiencing this when their volume is set to over 50% or near the max. I am experiencing this even when my volume is set to under 50%.
I am referring to the earpiece/speakerphone and not the actual speaker in the back.
Yes. I have the same problem. Nothing has fixed it so far. Sometimes I can't hear anyone, cause it gets so loud. Let me know how you resolve this!

Same issue for me, but it's minor.
Are you guys all on the stock 0.37 Bell firmware? I am currently playing around with the Noise Suppression settings but they don't seem to be helping much. I am considering flashing to the French SBF to see if it improves things.
I do have this problem. It sounds like the speaker has something loose in it and its rattling but I suspect the speaker is blown. My rear speaker is on its way to hell too. Coming from iPhone 4, i'm really disappointed with Motorola build quality.
Im on at&t. The problem is obviously hardware related. It was on firmware 1.2.6. 1.5.7 and now 1.8.3. Themed no themed, odexed, deodexed, doesn't matter. Old radio, new radio..... Seems to be related to signal quality somehow. Shall we make it a warranty issue? It happens on every call for me.

The first Atrix I had, had that problem. Went back to the store, pulled another out of the box to compare and the problem was obviously hardware related. Had the phone replaced.
Isn't this a common problem across the board with Motorola phones?
My work mate has another Motorola android phone and she had hers replaced three times due to ear piece problems!
Mine does it. Especially noticeable after dialing when waiting for the other party to pick up while it's rinigng. It's really bad at anything over 50% volume.
Definitely HW related.
Mine does it for the first ring when I call out. Then it sounds normal.

I'm thinking I'll hang tight with it for a while. The speaker seems to work fine during calls and everything but the first ring. I had issues on my Nokia E71 where the first ring would be really quiet and then after that the volume would go up to normal. If it gets worse, I'll exchange it then.
I've got the crackling issue as well. Happens at any time during a call but is especially noticeable during the initial dialing
Same issue for me too. However, it's not the speaker because I get the same noise with my headphones as well. Typically I only hear it on the first ring.
Well after all that crap about not needing an RMA and to fix their soft left speaker it appears I had a fault after all. My left speaker is now DEAD. I am going to have to try and flash back to stock before I can send it off though.
BUMMER!
That sucks, hopefully you'll receive a working unit ASAP!

Did you RMA it to the store or Asus? In case of Asus, I'd like to know how long you had to wait, since Asus rma status says 'waiting for internal advice' for almost a week now.
I guess the speaker volume may be a hardware issue after all.
speaker sound was working fine until i flashed a certain rom.
i got headphone audio, and vibrate, but no external speaker sound.
could it be a coincidence? time to replace the speaker module?
any other options i have? i bought this phone when it was released, i dont have a replacement plan option, nor the money to get it repaired by a tech.
ive got experience with phone repairs and taking apart/putting back together phones so a hardware repair shouldnt be a problem.. but i would like that to be a last resort.
any ideas?
thanks

Have you tried flashing a different rom?

You don't have 35 dollars to have a sprint repair store fix your speakerphone?

is that all it costs???
well deeennnggg. imma do that then, lol
I paid about 30 and did it myself but that's just me..I got 5 speakers to switch from and I'm not a risk taker but I did it.
World peace with no regard for human life.
for the past week my screen has been going whacked out on me.
the on-screen buttons would start clicking on their own, and sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive,
BUT
when i turn it off, and back on, it would work perfectly fine .
so i basically get a 50/50 chance if the screen going crazy on me...
now if it was the Digitizer, wouldnt the problem be ALL THE TIME?
as opposed to being random, could it be a BUG ?
Can anyone please help or advice, thanks !
If a factory reset doesn't fix it it is probably hardware. I have seen intermittent problems with digitizers before.

not really,
but my problem is as follows...
i purchased the phone from T-Mobile, FULL PRICE $500..
so theres no insurance from anywhere...wonder who would do any work on it for me ...Google or LG ? i know it wont be T-Mo
Have you called them? I don't understand why they would not honor the warranty.

Read the book that came in the box. Manufacturers defects pretty much always have a 1 year warranty.
Oh and LG.

I have a similar-sounding issue (on-screen buttons flashing wildly, et al.); I am thinking of opening the device to check on connection
Is it more or less likely, in your experience, that the connection between the display assembly and the board is loose from impact or whatever, or that the digitizer itself is just defective?
Thanks for your help.
I had the exact same problem on my device and it can be due to two reasons.
1. If your phone get extremely hot during use then the screen starts behaving abnormally.
2. If you had dropped your phone then there is a slight chance that you have damaged the digitizer.
I had the second problem and I have replaced the screen and it is working normally again.
Anyone else seeing this? Should I be trying to get my device replaced?
I'm not but I think if you look around I saw another thread about it.

Thanks, not quite the same thing, but it seems to be a hardware issue.

Same issue with me also the headphones make a noise in silent situations. Mine is from amazon and black and verizon. I Have done alot of reading about this as I'm within my 14 days for return it happens on alot of g3s really all of them or most anyway however to different extents and some people don't notice some do. I let a few of my friends use my phone asked after they used if they heard the sound. Some did some didn't but its there. Anyway it is not a hardware issue its a software issue lg is aware of the issue it will be fixed in 4.4.4 they claim. Also T-mobile users that have installed CM and custom 4.4.4 roms have said the issue disappeared afterwords. I cannot say this is fact however (as I haven't done this) I have seen many people say they took there device back and had it exchanged some as many as 4 times they all do it. Also the headphone issue is the same this entire issue is on the top 8 lists for cons of the g3 on alot of sites just wrote different ways. The ticking is the same thing I have extremely good hearing (I can hear a tire leak from 10ft away) and if you listen real close and turn your volume down all the way (well as low as it goes in call) so the buzz isnt as strong its also ticking
The silver lining is that lg is aware and is working on a fix this issue and the headphone issue are one in the same instead of your wording try goggle g3 hissing sound and you will find many posts about it. It sucks very bad once you notice it it will drive you insane I feel your pain.
I have a feeling as seen with my friends that people that say there phone doesnt make the noise are wrong but not intentionally. As it is a very strange pitch and low level sound some can not hear those types of sounds or it less noticeable to some. This is a long proven science theory some pitches can be heard by some and not others I believe that is what is happening. The same 2 friends that cant hear on my phone also cant hear coil whines (they happened to be with me when I got a very bad coil whining psu it was making my ears bleed they couldn't hear it.) which is what this sounds like to me anyway.
