I just got this S5 a week ago and two days ago the speaker, or audio to the speaker stopped working. At first I thought I had done something, then had a VZ store rep look it over, and he could find nothing in the settings that could be blamed.
I had a service tech at an independent shop look it over, and he speculated it is a faulty speaker.
I get audio in a bluetooth, or wired earbuds. But not in the speaker.
Any ideas? Is this speaker known to fail?
Have you been playing music at full volume on the speaker and did you recently get the phone wet or drop it

So recently I noticed that my launch day epic seems to have a cheap speaker sound to it, not the external speaker but just the regular speaker you use when talking to someone. It almost sounds like the speaker is buzzing/vibrating. Is everyones speaker like that or do i need to bring my phone in to get replaced?
bump
my speaker sounds loud and clear.
Mine gets pretty bad as far as static/crackling goes if I turn it up more than halfway. Going to have to experiment further, as it only gets pronounced when I'm on the phone with certain people
My friend has a brand new epic and i messed around with it last night, putting both phones at the same volume level and hers sounds perfect, where mine not so much. Guess i'm going to bring it in on monday and hopefully they will swap it out for a new one. I got it on launch day so its already past the 30 days, but do they already have spare parts to fix just the speaker?
no problems here.
Both the earphone and speaker phone on mine have a VERY tinny sound to them. I bought mine through BB, can I still swing by a spring store to exchange? Bought mine 4 days ago..
Well I was planning on bringing mine in tomorrow to get fixed/replaced but now the speaker is sounding great?! I dont know what to do really, i guess i will just wait until it sounds like crap all the time. When i turn it up more then half way it does sound tinny, but at least now it doesnt sound tinny even at the lowest volume
Mine started doing that. I took it to a repair center and they swapped the speaker. Now all is well, and the Epic sounds perfect again.

My girlfriend has a continuum and I can't take talking on the phone with her anymore.
No not because she's annoying ;D
The mic picks up everything, and it sounds like shattered glass and over modulation.
I have a recording if anyone wants, but I'm sure it's the mic as I bought her a decent plantronics bluetooth headset and it takes care of the problem, except for the fact that she doesn't use it 90% of the time.
Is it a microphone gain setting I can adjust, or simply a defective unit since I can only find good reviews about call quality online
Not sure if there is a gain or not but mine does the same thing and like you I bought the plantroics mic

Picked up my new I9300 a few days back, love it...smooth, fast and simply gorgeous. Apart from one issue which is bugging me.*
I have a pair of Denon AH-C710's which I bought a couple of months ago. Worked great on my*I9100*but sadly they don't seem to be connecting right on my S3. They keep switching from stereo to mono with the slightest touch of the jack and the volume will dip...when the phones in my pocket it will jump around as I walk. Very annoying.
At first I thought it was the socket on the phone BUT the*Samsung headphones that came with it work fine, as do my old*I9100*headphones. There are 3 black rings on the jack as opposed to 2 black rings on my denons...could this be the issue?
Is there a quick fix to make the Denons compatible? Is it an issue with th phone? Should I return the phone?
I've thought about fixing the jack from my old*Samsung*headphones to the Denons extension jack ...if I mess up then it's just the extension that will be messed up.
What do you guys suggest?????

Sounds like your Denons have a bad headphone jack. Does not seem to be an issue with the GS3.
must say I've used a different set of "cans" with no problems here
That's what I thought, but the Denons are working fine through several other devices I've tried them in so I'm pretty much stumpt...
I'm pretty impressed with the sound from the stock headphones though...big improvement!
Any ideas??

Hey,
I think my speaker is blown. Because on the highest volume it doesn't sound very nice
I didn't put my phone to water or any liquid. I tried the rice "method" just in case.
So this means i have to replace my speaker????
If your speaker was blown it wouldnt work at all, the "not sounding very nice" is just cause whatever you have playing is too loud, thats normally what happens with speakers when whats playing is too loud for it. If you continue turing it up all the way and getting that static though you might blow out the speakers however.

My Samsung s7 media speaker is BLOWN. This also happened to my s4. This is ridiculously frustrating. Yes, I have insurance that I pay EVERY month and now I have to pay the $100 deductible to replace this obvious problem that doesn't seem to get fixed upgrade after upgrade. This is not ok!!
I haven't seen anything posted on this and so, I'm hoping it's just my phone. Received my LG V20 last night and the first oddity was an audio one. When the T-Mobile jingle came on at boot, I noticed that the jingle had a slight crackling/distortion effect to it but I didn't think anything of it. Got the rest of the phone setup and I'm super happy with it but the issue showed up again as soon as I tried to test out the speaker outloud via YouTube. Anything with a high frequency results in crackling and people's voices have a slightly robotic effect to them. The issue isn't isolated to YouTube because it happens with anything.
It's not noticeable... if let's say you have the phone a few feet away from you at mid volume but it's super obvious when holding it and irritating when having it against my ear. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm thinking about stopping by a T-Mobile store to see if they have a model one that I can test out. Hoping it's not just a crappy speaker featured in a very audio featured phone. Thanks for any feedback ya'll.
Sounds like you have a bad unit. I haven't heard anyone mention the same issue so I think you should warranty it.
Mine has begun doing it whenever i run an app or a video. Even with the volume turned all the way down. For example, writing this post is producing very noticable static from the speaker even with all audio muted, all keypress audio disabled and haptic feedback disabled. Opening a game like clash of clans produces noise at the same level as a mistuned television.
I get the distortion as well on my T-Mobile variant.
Same issue
My phone just started with the cracking noise, but mines sounds like the speaker has blown out!! T moblie as well! Please post what you guys plan to do next
I have a Verizon variant and mine does the same thing. Recorded video of my daughters softball game and noticed the blown out speaker sound i was getting. Seems like poor quality speakers possibly.
Same Problems
I have a T-mobile LG V20 also coming from the Note 7 and tonight my speaker has the same static & blown speaker sound on high or low volume everything was fine until I used headphones and etc today I don't know if this had something to do with it or not I am really hoping this is not a big issue across the board. I am gonna swap it out and pray for the best LG is my last hope since there are no other good android phablets out right now.
Out of the blue
I have the Sprint version and mine just started cracking out of no where tonight for no reason. I was listening to music but it wasn't even turned all the way up. What in the world?
I have only had my V20 for 7 days and now the speaker is doing the same thing everyone else is saying (distortion, cracking, sounds like a blown speaker). Called LG they said factory reset it but that did not resolve. Went to Best Buy where they thought at first it was a software issue but quickly realized it is a hardware issue. Tried calling LG back but cant get through as the line says all circuits are busy. I just turned in my replacement Note 7 and now I think LG may have inherited the Samsung curse.
My phone just started doing the same thing!!! I was just listening to a song on SoundCloud and the sound suddenly became distorted. I tried YouTube and and same thing happened. I restarted the phone and the T-Mobile jingle was... You guessed it: distorted. Idk what happened for this functioning model to suddenly start doing this, but I'm very disappointed. I'll be going back to the T-Mobile store to try to turn it in and get it replaced.
You guys are scaring me. I really hope this isn't widespread!
My ATT LG v20 is audio has gone crazy just as described by others out of the blue!! Im not looking forward to the ttio to the ATT store as I doubt if anyone will knowcwhats going on! Has anyone's phone audio been fixed? The distortion. crackling makes the phone useless and makes me cry!!!#
Too many people are reporting this problem. Meaning that eventually we're all going to experience this. This does not sound good at all.
Happen to me today. Just turned on DAC and it went away. T mobile.
ughhh

Ugh I had high hopes but this did NOT work for me. Sprint. I waited so long for this phone and now dealing with this ....makes me pretty upset. I got mine on the 25th and it started on Nov 1st.
trashy audio after awhile WILL put me off on this device...
I have noticed it seems to get worse the more the battery is drained.
Got mine on 10/28 and until now (knock wood) the sound is pretty good!

LG V20 speaker issues
I was within the 14 day Best Buy return period. They have ordered me a new V20. I'll see if it was just a fluke??
Some posts on reddit suggest that the speaker becomes crappy when the phone is being charged.
