/*solved*/terrible buzz speaker!!!! - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

I see people here ignore the terrible sound of the speakers!!! In YouTube, Spotify, in calls. Its sounds like 90's phone, not like 2017 phone. Almost 1 year and google cant process any solution for that?! As anybody know which solution cant we get without damaging the grill of the phone?? Even to root my phone to get solution! I just can't hear this speakers anymore!!!
Edit:
3/4 clicks with tooth stick on the up speaker grill and no buzz any more!!!

I did an rma for that.i think they know about that problem.
My rma device is fine now

My RMA was better, but still has issues on the too speaker for calls. I replaced due to speaker issues. I just roll with it as I don't usually listen to music without Bluetooth.

I was able to reduce it by 80% by changing all the equalizer values to -8.7 on viper4android .

With the slightest pressure I rubbed across the speaker grill with a wooden toothpick. But it seems to be a mere temporary fix because since initial fix the muffling has returned.

thank you Tjotte, HunteronX
It's a matter of fitting the ear speaker towards your ear. I have never had problems hearing with this phone.

Nexus 4 too quiet on MAX volume

I'm on CM10.1.
I tried using this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025486
Nothing changed. My phone is too quiet.
Be specific. Do you mean your ear speaker, back speaker, headphone jack or all of the above? My N4 is more than loud enough on all three.

Back speaker.
I'm on CM10.1 nightly 1231 and it's fine. "Loudness" is subjective. To me it's loud(er) than the Galaxy Nexus and that's good enough to me.
I barely hear anything.

Something might be wrong with yours, this is the first android device where speaker volume isn't an issue (my benchmark is always the iphone which has a great speaker and the n4 measures up.)
Now headphone out is lower than it should be but not a major issue.

Sounds like something is wrong with your phone. Are you setting it down with the speaker facing down?

I know for a fact this is a defect. RMA if you still can.
Man my phone is loud as hell :good:
I'm going to try PA. If that doesn't work, i'll RMA.
I've had 14 Nexus 4s, trust me.
Damn. Do I have to send the phone back first?

Blown top speaker

When i got my One initially i thought the speakers sounded distorted but didn't pay much attention. Almost a month now, my top speaker def sounds blown. Called HTC to let them know the phone was defective and they wanted me to do a restore, so i hung up. How the hell does doing a restore can fix a blown speaker? I think im gonna have to go back to stock and follow with their crap so i can get this one replaced.

Just tell them you did. Tell them you have done a full factory reset. HTC's new backup program works well and restores app data just a FYI.
Yes, you will have to follow their crap. Hanging up on the person who you need to help you is, I guess, not what you need to do.
Just tell them you have, even if you haven't. they play their games, we play ours

Well if you have installed any sound enhancements during ROM flashing that might be a reason. I don't think it is that unreasonable request that you try to go back to stock to test the speaker again.....? For sure if you take it in to an HTC dealer they are going to say the same thing before repairing it.

As of right now, i will return the phone but also go back to stock and test. I dont recall installing audio enhancements, im running ARHD 9.0. As i said before from day one i noticed a little distortion and progressively it got worst. If i indeed had install a sound mod, wouldnt the bottom speaker be affected too?, i mean thats my logic, i might be wrong.

I don't see why this is HTCs fault? It's standard procedure. All you need to say is that you have wiped it and they will help generate a repair case.

Neither do I , if I feel it's faulty then the very first thing to do is factory reset. That at least would clarify no software setting involved.

I didn't say it was their fault, i hung up bc i didn't want to proceed with doing a restore at least not at that moment. The other thing is I shouldve called letstalk and not HTC, that was my fault.

Sorry about that. On the new phone go into settings and backup and reset and make sure it's making backups. If it didn't restore anything then it doesn't sound like it was set up or that it was set up but didn't make a backup.
I'm starting to suspect a blown speaker too. Problem is that both work, but the bottom speaker is clearly louder than the top one.
So either it's by design or not, it's annoying. Not gonna get it changed for now as I don't really use the speakers everyday (hopefully). And it works just fine when calling someone. So I even started it was by design, so I wouldn't become deaf even on lower volume
Bottom speaker is louder than top speaker FYI. Pretty sure this is normal. It would be nice if we had access to the balance.

Yes you guys are correct. I verified with a sound meter in close proximity to each one. The bottom speaker is approximately 2 dB louder. Not a huge difference but 2 dB difference is within the range of human hearing and when you hold the phone up to your face you can tell one speaker is a bit louder. Running 1.29.401.16R with stock kernel and no sound enhancement mods.

I had a blown top speaker as well. Bottom speaker sounded great but top speaker sounded horrible at any volume much above 25%. I got my original phone replaced under warranty and the bottom speaker is louder than the top one on both of them.
I dunno, all i did was root mine and there are times I think the speaker is crackly. There was actually one time I had to change a song because it sounded distorted. I'm honestly just waiting for some major flop before I send mine back. I gotta ask on this note, would it be best to go through AT&T or HTC?

Nexus 7 2013 Horrible crackling soundd

Hi all,
I've got myself N7 II and I love it... Only issue I have is an horrible sound coming from my top/left speaker and it gets worse as I ramp up the volume. It sounds just like speaker is loose and/or it has some thin foil covering it.
I've been able to find some fixes for the problem but only for 1st gen N7 devices so I really have no idea how to fix this and I don't really want to return it to the seller...
Can any help?
Tnx in advance

All nexus 7s have this issue... I don't fully understand why, but I believe it is the speaker codec or something, you don't hear it after a while, it drove me nuts to begin with! So I would advise you to stick with your n7 =)
I never had that issue with mine...
I've gave my N7 to service since it's under warranty... Let the support worry about it...
Tnx guys

Did my daughter compromise my LG G6s waterproofing?

Hello everyone. This may sound extremely silly, but let me start at the begining. I bought a brand new LG G6 for myself, as for an upgrade over my old Huawei P8. I inserted my nano sim, turned the phone on, did the whole fresh start thing, and had to leave for a couple of seconds to get something from the other room. As i got back, i noticed that my daughter (4yo) got to the phone and started pinching the top microphone whole with the sim needle. I dont know if she did any damage. I checked the mics by recording, covering each one and whispering very delicately into each of them, and they both work fine. But, what about the waterproofing? Has she, possibly, done any damage? If i try to put the needle in there, It does go in almost all the way before stopping on something ( im not pushing it, just letting it go in freely ). on the bottom mic, it stops freely somewhere right before the middle. I appreciate all the help. Thanks if advance plus I apologize for my bad english. Cheers from Poland.
Don't worry mine's the same. Almost all the way in on the upper by own force if letting it go and only halfway on the bottom one.
THANKS MATE! Im so relieved. Can you also shake your by the ear to see if there is any sort of sound coming from the inside? I got this delicate vibration when rapidly shaking it. Thought its cause of my daughter tinkering with the thang lol!
