Unfortunately, my nexus fell into my tub, I quickly took it out in just about a second or less. I kept it face down for 5 mins before I did anything else. I tried playing music and all the apps including my music player of choice (phonograph) and youtube. I restarted my phone and tried again, this time everything "played" but I couldn't hear anything at all. I tried charging my phone and it didn't work as well. My cameras are also filled with the water droplets and my microphone, what should I do please help! PIC 1- Attempt to take a picture
Update: I dried up the port and not it charges.
Update 2: I was texting my friend and the notification sound worked for once! But soon after it stopped and I tried playing songs and as usual I couldn't hear anything.
Update 3: My back camera is starting to dry out, my alarm worked and so does all my notifications. I tried playing music and no luck. Microphone seems to be working. --P.S Do the notification sounds use a different speaker than the normal speakers? If so is there a way of re-routing this to the working notification speaker?
I remember reading someone else dropping there phone in water and the same issue for them loud speakers not working. Notifications probably coming from ear speaker. How's the battery ever thought of replacing because could also replace the damaged speaker.

Hi all,
Had my Touch HD for 24 hours and I noticed last night that I was getting a faint popping / hissing out of the speaker when playing back a song.
Long story short, I think the speaker in mine is stuffed. Can't play back anything, and it wasn't even at high volume. This is affecting ringtones, windows sounds, everything.
The 3.5mm jack sounds are fine. Just the little speaker next to the camera.
Anyone had anything like this happen?
Think it's going back for a replacement!
Cheers.
Nothing worse than being the only person to have a particular issue with a phone!
Just FYI in case this does crop up again, I tried cleaning around the area, microSD in/out, hard resetting, etc. Nothing worked. Was sort of hoping it was not really the speaker being dead but something else, but my speaker is officially screwed!
Back in the box with you, Touch HD. You're RMA'd.
Some days ago my Touch2 started acting up - I guess after it got a bit too humid when I was wearing it under my T-Shirt while walking. The Touchscreen did not work. When I removed the battery cover I noticed the phone was a bit wet inside (sweat), so I figured that was probably causing the issues. After turning it off, removing the battery, and leaving it to dry for a day it was working OK again.
Next day I got a phone call (first one since drying after the the touchscreen issue), I answered, heard a pretty loud and distorted sound out of the speaker for less than a second, and then I didn't hear anything anymore. The other person could not hear me either. Since then I cannot hear people making calls, and they cannot hear me - but the loud sound was only heard once, now I hear nothing. The alarms and ring tones are playing normally, though.
I already figured out that the phone seems to think there is a headphone plugged all the time, since the headphone icon is present all times. With the headphone everything is working OK as well. So I guess it is the detection acting up. I am guessing this is a mechanical detection (opening switch when plugging in), but I am not sure. Does anyone have any idea? I will also try to look inside the earphones hole, trying to see if anything is mechanically broken or stuck... repeatedly plugging/unplugging didn't help, neither did blowing inside there...
Any ideas?
Edit: My Mega has a HK CHT Stock ROM, flashed over the Taiwan CHT ROM after hard SPL. I tried resets etc. but no hard reset yet.
A month or two ago I just started using my epic for music while I ran. I think I damaged the headphone jack somehow plugging in my earbuds because music started coming through only one earbud. But this happened on the second or third day I used it. And I never damage the headphone jack of my mp3 I use all the time. Also nothing was loose inside there, the jack seemed as strong as it ever was. So I stopped using earbuds completely and started using some bluetooth device to stream my music.
Starting yesterday the epic's speaker started fading in and out while on a call, also the mic stopped working when the speaker faded out. Then an hour or two later no sound out of the speakers and no mic 100% of the time. The speakerphone button is even disabled during my the calls. No music, game or notification sounds either. But toggling airplane mode still gives that connection/roaming notification. I tried plugging my earbuds in and one of them worked like it did before and the mic started working. But the weird part is, if it take the earbud out then in I can hear sound coming from thru epic's speaker for half a second. And if I leaver a headphone jack half way plugged in, the epic speaker works as normal. I cut off a headphone plug from a crappy pair of earbuds and taped it so it will only plug in halfway and now my phone works like normal. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I'm running the toadlife rom, but I have tried just about everything software wise to fix this to no avail. Loading stock, wiping everything, leaving battery out, nothing seems to fix it. Seems like it's something in the hardware and if it is a software glitch it's also in stock.
Defenitely a hardware problem... unroot the phone and take it to sprint and have them look at it...

I managed to fix the problem with a widget I found on the market place, toggleheadset2. It manually sets the headphone flag on or off in the OS. It's a little kludgy but my phone is back to normal. Still only one earbud works when I plug it in, but I can live with that.
I'm out of warranty and don't have TEP so I'm hesitant taking it back to sprint.
Try cleaning the headphone jack, the contacts might be a little dirty. When mine was dirty, the phone didn't know if the headphones were unplugged from the phone so the speaker and mic are disabled unless the headphones were in.
I had an issue with mine. But I couldn't hear anything while callin and it wouldn't go into speaker phone mode either. I called sprint. Went to my music and could toggle the 5.1 s. Sound on and off so I. Plugged the headphone plug inand out a few times and it di the trick. No probems since then. Works with xbox 360 controllers also lol

They might fix it for a relatively cheap price, plus it doesn't hurt to just find out, id say go check at a Sprint store first man.

Hello,
I have seen a few people with an issue where if the phone gets wet, audio completely stops, and apps that use the speakers or microphone act very odd. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/nexus-6p-audio-playback-error-app-t3476592 this is one of a few posts with the same issue.
Essentially audio won't won't through anything but Bluetooth, and apps like YouTube, Play Music, Sound Recorder, Video Recorder (but not camera as is doesn't use the microphone) all act strangely, and different from each other. Play Music for example constantly loads songs then skips to the next. The Camera works great, but as soon as it is switched to video, it says "cannot connect to camera."
I'm trying to figure out why this happens, and how to fix it. Some have said that cleaning the microphone works, but that doesn't seem to help most, and didn't work in my case. The microphone is not replaceable on the board. Actually there are three, but the "main" one on the back seems to be the common issue, but may not be.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
My uneducated guess would be moisture in the connections causing circuit shorts when enabled. If you arent feeding anything to the speakers or from the mic, the connections dont short out because there is nothing doing.
After having the 6P apart twice, the best guess for a fix I would have is to disassemble it and disconnect anything that has a ribbon cable. You can disconnect the front facing camera, bottom speaker, etc. Then let the whole thing dry out and reassemble. NOTE: disassembling this phone is not for the faint of heart! I did it to replace my battery and ended up cracking the LCD panel in the process.

I actually have the phone apart. I've cleaned all the corrosion off of everything with 90% isopropyl alcohol. The phone wouldn't turn on when I got it, now everything but the weird sound issue works great. It's been disassembled for weeks and is definitely dry, so no short circuit. At this point, I don't think the phone can be saved, but maybe. Plus, I'm super curious about why this is happening.
As written here:
Hi guys, I think I solved the problem.
After a factory reset, my phone didn't play any sound from the speakers (neither the top nor the bottom), couldn't record anything from the mic, couldn't record any type of video with the stock Google camera ("Can't connect to the camera" or 0:00 seconds long videos) and YouTube acted weird sometimes.
I spent to days looking for a solution, and I understood that the problem was in the headphone jack. It remains triggered as if there were headphones inserted, someone resolved inserting and removing a real device in the headphone jack 3 or 4 times, but it was not my case.
I took the phone apart, physically disconnected the headphone jack and then rebooted the device. All the problems are gone! The sounds came back perfectly from both speakers, the camera can now record video and the mic is working. After this test I turned off the phone, reconnected the headphone jack, rebooted and still no problems. The headphone jack works fine too, and YouTube has no problems reproducing videos.
I even tried two factory reset and everything is still working fine! I hope to be helpful to someone, this procedure has solved my problem!
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
