It is very hard to understand anything on my phones earpiece speaker, seems to crackle a lot. Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes out there? Tried the*228 update, no change. I'm assuming I may have a blown speaker and will need a replacement. I apologize if this has been covered before, I browsed through and didn't see anything. Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Yup
Blown speaker problems are probably the second most common Incredible problem (#1 being superheating). My first refurb arrived to me with a blown speaker. Had to send it back for refurb #2 (which killed me because refurb #1 actually worked and didn't superheat). Refurb # 2 chugging away though.
Have your phone replaced.

I've noticed that I seem to get some occasional crackling on my internal earpiece when talking to my girlfriend who has a Hero. I've listened very carefully for this in other calls and haven't seemed to hear it. So my question is what could be causing this? Could it just be an occasional faulty call connection? I'm paranoid because when I first got my Hero I had to return it do to a faulty earpiece and am hoping this isn't the case with my Evo. Lol, it's probably no big deal just wanted to see if anyone else has ever noticed this.
No help really, but it must be a wife thing as I get the same thing when talking to my wife (she has a Samsung Captivate), and no one else. I find if I turn down the volume a couple of clicks the crackle goes away.
It only happens when talking to your g/f? LOL I wont answer heheheheh

Hello,
I use Virtuos 1.27 on my DHD with recommended radio.
My problem is when i am in a call the internal speaker sounds cracked. I have to lower volume alot to get rid of it. Is it possible that rils+radio have made this?
I read that Volume apk boost the volume but it was longtime since i used it. Is there any revert to default speaker settings?
External speaker is good.
Tips on how to check if its really broken?

I had the same thing a while back, even on the lowest volume setting it sounded awful. A quick search of the forums found people suggesting blowing / sucking where the speaker grill is. In desperation I gave it a try and it worked! Search the forum for more detailed instructions on what to do.
Haha suck the phone....really?

I know, it sounds ridiculous, but try it.
Here's the original post I found about it

I have the same problem... second time around....
but mine completely shuts off randomly and then activates again randomly...
First time it occured i had a week or so left on warranty, shipped the phone to workshop and they replaced the internal speaker, i did not reset the htc firmware from ARHD and they repaired it on goodwill since i didnt have the original software. my warranty expired, now 5 weeks later the exact same problem appears... i tried blowing and sucking the speaker (boy did it make me feel like a retard) but without results... im thinking i could try flashing the original rom but the realist in me says thats only the optimist in me thinking... does anyone have any advice on this matter ? thank you
I had the same problem and I got my phone exchanged.
The new one works fine.
Not sure you can fix it yourself.
I took my desire hd apart last night. and you would not believe the crap that gets in there. I had a ton of metal particles on both my speakers I cleaned them off and it sounds so much better. Just watch the teardown video on youtube.
I had the same problem with cracked sound, and blowing/sucking helped me
Hello all,
Earlier this week my earpiece suddenly stopped working and now I cannot hear anyone's voice when receiving/making calls (yes in-call volume is maxed out).
I am ec05 stock rooted running the genocide 2.0 kernel. I've been this way for about a month with absolutely no issues at all until this week.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Maybe the ear piece is broken

Tried doing a factory reset (should I have done a reset through Clockwork instead?). Nothing changed.
Gonna see if I can get a replacement from Radioshack since we have the warranty with them.
try turning speaker phone on /off while in call. my phone used to do that randomly sometimes.
Just tried that to no avail
Thanks though.
Odin back to straight stock and see if it works.
Had something similar happen to me. Installed one of those apps that adjusts the ringers and notifications etc and the problem vanished. My problem was intermittent though.

Your ear piece is dead, go to sprint and its 35 bucks to get it replaced, I had to do it not even a month ago.

I just bought a new earpiece, keyboard, and Mic.
The Mic has always been garbage when using speaker phone. The person on the other end has problems hearing me when on speaker so hopefully that will fix it.
The #4 key was sheared off when the slide helper fell out...I already pulled it apart and set that back in place.
And then the damn ear piece quit working. I found one on eBay and am waiting on it to get here so I can pull it apart again and replace all this ****. I don't understand how all this stuff breaks AND I have to deal w unfinished software LOL. Glad It's my wife's phone hehe.
My new earpiece didn't correct the issue. I have tried everything from Odin to multiple roms. I give up. Lame. Very lame.
Update:
I have replaced the speaker...no workie....Odin...no workie....roms....no work....
My wife and I gave up and called sprint, went to a store, they swappedthe entire piece that houses the screen and earpiece and it works now!! This is great! Lol the Guy told me they couldn't swap the speaker, I kept my mouth shut. No insurance, over 1 year of owning the phone...$35 got it fixed, and they dropped a new keyboard in as my wife somehow sheared #4 key off. Good day. She's rocking stock ec05 til she gets frustrated w battery life again lmao.
I got my broken screen replaced today, and the ear speaker was working as intended prior to the repair. Now I've got it home, was putting it thru it's paces when I realized I could not hear any calls. The external speaker works just fine, but that's it. Is there something they forgot to reconnect? This is moderately frustrating and I'd like to see if I can solve it on my own tonight before I have to drive back down there tomorrow afternoon. Any help would be appreciated.
You're not gonna be able to fix it on your own.
Did you get anything resolved? From what I remember when I replaced my digitizer, you need to disconnect like 5 ribbon cables. But I don't remember if one went to the speaker you are taking about.

Hey,
I recently got my phone back from an RMA and my the phone's ear speaker doesn't work at all. This prevents me from using my phone as a phone unless I use speaker phone which is not ideal in most situations. I really don't want to send the phone away on another RMA for what is probably a small hardware misconfiguration, does anyone know of how to fix this a resource for doing so? I am having no luck on google.
Thanks,
E. Lensherr.

I had encountered the same problem with my old HTC ONE X. When I searched on net I found that many people like me were there facing this problem. I adopted one suggestion from there and installed a third party app 'SOUNDABOUT'. Now with the help of this third party app sound can be routed via desired channel (Speaker, Head Phone, ear piece or blue tooth devices).
Hope this solves the issue.
Thanks.

Sent my phone in for an RMA (Repair) last week, still waiting on getting it back.
I opened mine up today to replace a cracked screen and kind of looked where the earpiece speaker is behind the mounting frame and kind of push the contacts out a little. Im thinking maybe it wasn't making a good connection. But nonetheless it works now. I dont know if it was because of that or just my luck at taking it apart and putting it back together.
