Hi All,
Just the other day my speaker phone stopped working. I can hear the people I am calling, but the microphone doesn't seem to work. They cant' hear me. Not at all, it is like I have the phone muted-- but it is not.
Any body else with this? Any ideas, besides hard reset to try?
Thanks

There are loads of software apps that could interfere with sound, have you installed anything recently that you can remember?
have you applied any "tweaks" that you can remember.
Does it only happen when on speaker-phone or during normal calls.
It may be worth removing the back cover to make sure that nothing has interfered with the Mic Mute button on the rear of the device.
Give us some more info an I'll try to help further.
Cheers,

Hi Beast0898
Here is a list of software that I have installed in the last 2 weeks:
CarlosP ToneManager
cRaCKwHoRe's Snooze options
merlot mToolbox
Shubaroo Contact Fix
tarkim Keyboard controller.
I had not used the speaker phone for a while. Not since I installed any of the above, so if it is a software interference, it could be any of the above. Ideas?
The mute button is not blocked. And it happens when I enter speaker phone by turning it upside down, and when enabling it with the button on the dialer.
Any ideas?
Did you get it to work? I've encountered a weird problem recently myself where suddenly all system sounds seem to stop, including dialing tones etc.. but if I let the phone go into speaker phone mode, that does work. I hang up the call and suddenly sounds are back.
It seems to only happen when I use Groovefish and/or Nitrogen, so I wonder if one of those is causing some weirdness, just haven't pinned it down yet.
if this is the same bug I had on mine, you can either toggle the speaker phone button twice or do this:-
There is an easy workaround for this problem. On your Touch Pro 2 go to the home screen. Slide to the "Settings" tab. Tap the "Menu" softkey and choose "All Settings". Tap "Personal" then "Phone". Open the "Advanced" tab and change "Reduce noise in phone calls" to "Never".

Here is a fix without turning off noise cancellation.

Like the title says, my HTC P3300 automatically turns on the speaker when I answer or dial a number. And it doesn't matter if I push "Speaker on" or "Speaker off". The speaker is pretty loud so it's quite frustrating haha. I've done already 3 hard - resets to get rid of the problem, but after a few weeks the problem returns . Are there maybe some registry settings for the speaker, maybe some of mine are wrong?
Thnx already guys!
Any software that may be causing the problem? Phone alarm has this feature of switching speaker on automatically.

No don't have that kind of software installed. My installed programs are: USBKiller, TomTom, Batterystatus, Skype, HTC X button. Is there nobody else that has this problem??
I had this happen to me once, but a quick soft reset and it was gone, and hasn't returned. No idea what caused it.
It hapended to me last week, but a simple soft reset fixed it up.

I have the opposite problem. I would like to set up a profile so that when I am in the car, the speaker comes on automatically. Is that possible?
Thanks
All of a sudden I can barely (and i mean barely) hear the little click when you lock and unlock the phone. And the key tones when dialing are hardly audible as well. I have checked to see if all my volumes are up and they appear to be maxed out. I didn't mess with any settings at all that I can remember. Any thoughts on how to fix this? They function just fine just can't hear the audible confirmation any more. Kinda miss it actually.

well a surefire way to fix it would be to wipe data/ factory reset.
if that doesnt do it maybe your speaker is starting to go?
i replaced mine personally a few weeks ago, and you wouldnt believe how much metal shards/debris was thru the fine mesh screen and stuck to the speaker not allowing the speakers voice coil to move its full travel.
That worked like a charm. Back in bidness. Thanks!
Hi,
I've been using a DESIRE HD for a long time , suddenly an issue has cropped up
1) My phone automatically uses the speaker when i receive or make a call !
Any Idea why is this happening?
i had the same issue for the last few weeks. i couldn't find a fix so ive just got into a habit of hitting speaker as soon as i make or recieve a call (to turn it OFF speakerphone) But...
the issue has now developed! one i make/recieve a call, and turn off speaker, the speaker continues to flick on and off throughout my call, mainly as it moves, depends on the tilt of the phone during the call. its like an overly sensitive exaggeration of the "flip for speaker" feature, as it happens when its vertical. thing is, ive turned this feature on and off many times to try and resolve it, but it still happens!
has anyone got any ideas that might help???
thanx
Had some issues with the touch tones not working correctly with the speakerphone enabled. Didn't find any threads here on XDA but found a few over on a couple other android forums.
Basically it seems that when using the touch tones with speakerphone enabled, the mic picks up the speaker phone and the receiving end hears each touch tone twice.
I had the issue when trying to call verizon wireless to enter my passcode, as well as trying to setup my voice mail. I have 3 separate Galaxy Nexus phones in my family, and the issue can be replicated on all 3 phones.
Also noticed lowering the volume on the speakerphone can alleviate the issue too, but it's just kind of annoying as I don't want to hold the phone up next to my ear when I'm trying to enter things on the dial pad.
I've also tried switching the DTMF setting between long and normal, the problem still exists
Hoping with a firmware update they can filter out the touch tone, or just not make the touch tones audible to ourselves. (I'm assuming
this is because the speaker is so close to the mic on the GN)
Anyway, I don't think there's a fix for it yet, but I'm just posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue, and to make people aware of it.
Also found the issue on google support here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24467
Bump,
Anyone else run into the same issue? Or have some secret fix I don't know about? (Other than turning off the speaker lol)

This explains the problems I was having the other day trying to join a Go-To-Meeting - would not accept my pin.
I was on speaker phone too - ty for this !
I've had this problem on the GN and other devices as well. Sometimes I'll hit mute because it helps but also I don't want people/computer listening in.

Just realized this before I came to post, thanks for pointing it out too! Mute FTW!!!
i too noticed this as well when i first got it and think that it ridiculous that it wasnt thought out better.
Another fix: Simply turn off audible touch tones in the settings menu.
Drawback is there's no feedback for the dialpad, anyone know of a way to get the vibrate on for the dialpad?

This is the workaround I've been using for about a month now with no issues. I had the same issue where the conference call service wasn't getting my pass code entered correctly.
Only issue now is the headset echo heard by connected parties, which has been reported and hope to be fixed soon. I've tried several workarounds here but none have been bulletproof.
Hi guys, I did a search in this Arc forum for In ear Speaker problems and couldn't find anything, so I chose to start a new thread. Just know I DID try to find info for this phone but I only found a few other threads about different phones.
My in-ear speaker does not work in calls. It is extremely quiet, as if the volume is turned all the way down. Thing is, I try turning up the in-call volume during a call and it does nothing. But the weird thing is, I went into the service menu to test the hardware (using the *#*#7378423#*#* trick) and tested the in-ear speaker and it works fine! Loud and clear! But then immediately following that I'll try a call and still will hear practically nothing. Putting the call on speakerphone allows me to hear the other party, as well as putting in a headset, so I am stumped. Tried pulling the battery and have rebooted the phone many times and the problem is still persisting.
AND, on top of ALL of that, the damn thing was working just fine the other day. I switched to this phone last week and have been making calls successfully being able to hear the other party just fine. But suddenly today it's deciding to not work in a call. This is really weird.
Has anyone else had this problem? What else can I try to fix it? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Blah a hard reset fixed it. Feel free to delete this post mods!
