Nexus 4 Ear Speaker Not Working - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a nexus 4 16gb running android 4.4.2. Last night I tried to make a call and the ear speaker wasn't working. It worked fine when connecting headphones but not without it. I left the phone off at night. The next morning I turned the phone on and tried making a call and the ear speaker worked fine. However that afternoon the ear speaker stopped working again. What could be the problem??? Could it be a hardware or software issue?

No Speaker

after flashing CM6 i had sound for the first few days. now i have nothing. i have done all kinds of wipes and even have installed other roms. still nothing. even when using the speaker phone, i get no sound from the external speaker.
headset speaker works fine, i can hear the other party when making phone calls. i just cannot hear my phone ring.
help please!
i dont know if this is coincidence or not, but i just blew out the speaker and now it seems to be working again. dunno if maybe some small dust got in there or something. any who, it seems to be working ok now.
I know this is an old thread but I am glad I searched. My speaker just stopped working and I tried everything. After reading this thread, I took my case off and the battery cover off and just blew into the speaker hole. It started working again...WTF??? If you speaker isn't working, try giving it a blow...seemed to work for two of us.

[Q] My ear speaker is not working

Yesterday I was walking with my G1 headphones on and they got caught by some other guy walking and he pulled them off with his arm (I didn't drop the phone, just the headphones flew away).
Since that happened the ear speaker stopped working. I can't hear what other say in calls but they can hear me. In order to hear them I have to use the headphones, its almost like the phone believes the headphones are allways plugged.
Help!
I know this is old... Im hoping maybe you got somewhere with this? haha i have the same exact issue going on. I dropped my phone and a few hours later it started happening. Still works on speaker and through head phones and the last thing i did was use it to play music through the headphone port.

Ear speaker no longer working

I recently updated my Nexus 4 to Lollipop. Ever since doing this the only issue I've actually experienced it is that the ear speaker no longer works. It was working before I updated to Lollipop.
When on a phone call it only works when I put loud speaker on but as soon as a turn that off I'll hear nothing through the ear speaker.
Not sure if anyone else have experienced this issue?
Any help on this would be appreciated .
Thanks,
Henry

Speakers not working properly after latest sprint software update

2 days ago sprint pushed an update for the note 10+ and for some reason it messed up my speaker when playing apps (games, music, etc...). The sound comes out of the top of the phone for some reason and it's VERY soft. You almost can't hear it unless you put your ear up to the phone. While on a phone call, the speaker seems to work just fine, it's just when playing media that the speaker doesn't work. The headphones seem to work just fine but the speaker does not. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Well, Nevermind, lol. All of a sudden my phone just restarted by itself and the sound works perfectly now. Very odd because for the last 2 days it hasn't worked properly.
It's weird. I had an issue with my daughter's S9+ after an update, speakers were being intermittent and crackling. Eventually did a full reset but the issues remained.
After a great deal of research and messing around, a Spotify playlist on the SD card was to blame. Took out SD card everything worked fine.
Turns out the problem is an app called BIGO. When I use it, it plays the sound out of the top speaker as though I'm on a phone call. I have to force stop the app to get things back to normal. I have let the developers know but haven't heard anything back from them.l
