My daughter brought her Orbit to me yesterday saying the notification sounds had gotten softer and softer and now nothing at all. I've just this second switched it on after leaving it off all night and did get sound for about 30 seconds, but it seemed too loud and distorted and has now gone again.
You can make calls ok but get nothing from the speaker.
I had this a few months ago - annoying as no speakerphone either. Changing the rear speaker didn't help me but if the device has gotton wet at all a clean with an old toothbrush usually works wonders.

I know a lot of people have had issues with the quality of the earpiece speaker, but I can't find anything that matches my experience.
A few data ago, during calls, the earpiece started to crackle really badly - especially at higher volumes. its almost as though the speaker has blown. I tried a trick that worked in my old Nokia n95 and blew and then sucked really hard over the earpiece and this actually fixed the problem for about 5 minutes. Has anyone else had this issue? I guess my phone will have to go back.
I take it its just me then...
I would send it back, I had mine for two days and the poor quality coming from the ear piece I sent it back. I am now looking at a different phone and there isn't much out there.
Got exact same problem on mine - dont know whether to send it back, cured it by turning the volume down. Its almost if the phone drives the speaker too loudly for what it can handle...
Have the same problem. I think it's the speaker cloth that is touching the speaker itself.
If the problem persists I will send it back.
Hello,
I got a problem, it started few days again when I decided to use mobilevoip app on speaker, ever since I'm not able to hear the sound off a call out off the ear speaker.
I already tried flashing various roms as I wanted to rule out it was a bug off a rom, well so I flashed ARDHD rom because its pretty stable and I would not expect it with that, but issue still there and I only hear the sound when I put the speaker on.
Could it be ear speaker is broken? I have noticed whenever I call the DHD get's full off sweat, I think that won't matter, but I'm just abit scared when I turn it in for warranty they will say it has water damage even though it didn't get really wet once, just few water drops.
I'm sure now its broken.
Yesterday I retired an original MyTouch 3G and picked up a T-Mobile SGH-T989. I've placed 3 long phone calls with different people and have a difficult time hearing them. The volume is good, but their voice is slightly muddled? clipped? reverbed? On every call, I can also detect a very faint electrical noise, sounds kind of like coil whine from a power supply. Frankly, compared to the HTC MyTouch (dream), it sounds terrible and find myself asking the other person "what's that" a lot.
I live north of Boston and can only get Edge inside my house. The phone is stock for now, wifi is connected to my router, gps is on, bluetooth is off.
I will go out soon where it is 4G, turn off wifi, and make a call to see if there is any difference. I suspect it will be the same. This may be a deal breaker for me which is a shame, because I love this monster phone so far (except for the lack of a notification LED).
Anyone else make out the electrical noise during calls?
This is not normal! Mine is clear on both ends.
The noise is faint but can be heard through the ear speaker only during calls. Sounds like some kind of EMI. Just tried talking on 4G with no WIFI. No difference.
Hit or miss for me. Some calls to the same number/person are crystal clear, and then the next one is a bit muffled. Overall it's good, but I never had the issue with my Nexus One.
I had this issue on my first device, was getting a low buzzing noise everytime the other person spoke. Went back to store the next day and showed them. They replaced my phone with another and now it is clear on this device. Remove the SIM card and re insert it securely and if you still have it, get it exchanged.
Thanks. I reset the sim card. Still sounds bad. Will exchange it tomorrow. Hope what I am hearing is not typical for this model.
Hm well I reset the sim too, and also pulled the battery for a bit, and the calls that were a bit muffled are now clear. Don't know if that fixed it, or it is just the line.
I exchanged the phone tonight and the replacement also has a faint but annoying buzzing noise that can be heard through the ear speaker during calls. Both phones were made in the last week of September 2011. The stripes and blobs issue is clearly more pronounced in the replacement phone and the rear camera (under identical conditions) appears to be more grainy than the first one.
Does anyone else hear a real faint high pitched buzz during a call? Try talking to someone in a completely silent room.
Might be my ears are sensitive to high pitched electrical noises. Some CRT TV's, PSU's, and LCD displays drive me nuts. I am going to exchange it again.
I am getting this issue too. I only hear the electromagnetic interference when I am not in 4g or wifi calling. I don't hear it when I am on my bluetooth or when I am using the speaker phone. I sent my original phone back last week. When I got it, I turned it on to find out the noise was still there. I called tmobile and I suggested the sim card, so she sent me off to a store to get a new sim card. Well at the store there is 4g so I didn't hear the buzzing. At home and work I have GPRS and Edge respectively, they both have the buzzing noise. So they sent me out a new phone that I just received about an hour ago and I still hear it. Would a new ROM be able to fix something like this or should I just keep sending these phones back until I get one that works?
I just warranty exchanged my GS2 for the same type of audio issues. I also had an echo so every time I spoke into the phone I could hear myself on a delay. Very annoying!
Hi there, I just bought a htc one m8 from t-mobile, and everything is preatty nice, speakers are great with music with some frecuencies it tends to make a buzzing sound.
Basically when im listening to music it is okay most of the times, but when listening to tutorials or commenatires it makes a buzzing (like something loose inside the speaker) sound, but only in the upper speaker.
I tried this test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nklzAUrXSuM and the speaker really shows how bad the buzzing is starting at 500, its really remarkable at 630 and 800.
So i need your help. To anyone who has an m8 (normal, no the harmon kardon), please make the test and tell me if you hear the same buzzing or i have a defective phone, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
btw, sorry for my bad english, and greatings from Mexico
Anyone? Please
My speaker started to buzz, then completely blew. Replaced it, worked great, and a month later the same thing happened.
I'm going to replace it again tonight, change roms, then I'll try this test

So?
Happened with me after my display needed to be replaced.
When playing music with deep bad, the speaker made something inside the phone vibrate pretty bad
Now the service people solved it by making it way quieter than the bottom speaker and it sucks
Try this - use small ~10mm/5mm/30mm neodymium magnet, to clean speakers. I do so once per month, because of my job and metal powder that stuck in my phone. HTC put strong magnets to the speakers, so they attract more metal dust than other phones.
I just got this phone a few days ago after upgrading from my old ****ty Xperia XA, and while I really like it, I have a problem with it.
I work as QA in a factory, which means I spend about half my day in a quiet office and the other half in a noisy factory. I receive a lot of phone calls throughot the day, so what I've been doing is that I always have my headset plugged in one ear so I don't disturb my collagues in the office, and I can also hear when someone is calling in the factory (where I can't even feel the vibration in my pocket).
My old phone only rang through the headset when they were plugged in, so this worked perfectly, but now it rings through both the headset and the speaker, and I can't seem to disable only the speakers. So I can either mute the phone, in which case I won't notice it ringing while I'm in the factory, or I can leave it on normal, which means I'm gonna disturb my officemates constantly and make a lot of emberassing situations.
Is there any way to work around this?
