Just yesterday night I found out that I can't get any sound from my phone. Not even notifications sound work, or those ticky sounds what are heard when you turn ringtone volume up or down to hear the level. I have no idea how they are missing now... I dropped my HTC Desire Z in the water weeks ago and some say there can occur problems a long time after water damage, is this true?
I don't remember dropping my phone lately, but I may have dropped it yesterday by accident, but it was not a big drop. There could be a slight possibility tha the speaker died?
When I plug my earphones in, I get sound normally. This indicates to speaker damage indeed. What do you think? Does warranty cover this? I have no idea what causes this. Task killer maybe?
Sorry for the double post, but just bumping and reporting about this issue. Just tested calling from other phone, and the speaker mode won't work. I hear voice normally from internal speaker. I use Automatic Task Killer and there was "Music" -app in kill list, but it adding it to the white list did not affect in anything... besides plus music nothing else with sound works, without plugging in the headphones of course.
I really don't use ringtones that much, but I would like to show some youtube videos to friend with sound sometimes, or speak with speaker on if my hands are not available... this really sucks. ANY thoughts? What should I do?
The unexpected happened!
Haha, this is unbelievable! My 2 year old daughter got my phone for some reason and as soon as I noticed of course I told her "no! give it back" and as soon as she noticed I noticed she's having the phone, she threw it to the wall! (she was standing on the bed and the phone fell down quite a long way). The back cover fell off and I thought the phone is broken for good... since I had already dropped it to the water couple of months ago as you may know.
Well, shouted at my daughter for what she did. Then picked up the phone and put back the back cover. And guess what? The sounds work! Nothing wrong with them, or the phone! Tested out and everything works like charm! Haha I'm laughing my ass of, miracles sure happen!
If YOU have sound problems, don't start to bash your phone please
can u gimme the winning lottery numbers
pimped out g2
Today I went to swimming and dropped while changing to swimwear dropped my pants down while my phone was in the pocket. At home I noticed the sounds are not working again! So I recalled what happened and dropped my pants again in the same way, and the sounds were back again..
So I guess my phone can't stand any more knocks or drop downs... so I try to be really careful in the future. Thank god there is no touch-problems like in bad earbuds when the wire go bad and the sound comes only from the other one, like that I should always keep the phone in right position sounds to work... that would be nightmare.
Just reporting if you out there possibly have similar problems. It can all be symptomps from dislocated speaker like in my case.
Sound is back ...I'm a hard head
I too had lost sound after dropping ...After reading the warning about no trying to bang it back .............well what can I say , I put on the media with music and tapped it on the counter , NO Luck . Being hard headed I then started to slap it into the palm of my hand with a good snap ...Presto magic sound is back . Do not try this at home kids .

Yes this is going to sound like a horrible lie or excuse to get a new phone but i love my gnex and want to hold onto it. I was in my kitchen and tripped and instead of falling to the ground and being protected by my otter box my phone flew forward into the sink where a pot from dinner was soaking full of water. You can guess what happened next. Like a puma I pulled it out and actually broke the otter box trying to quickly get it out and pull the cover and battery and sim. I removed it all since the phone was fully submerged for several seconds. I placed it in rice and aside from using the only rice I had (had flavoring powder mixed in which hopefully didn't do more harm then good). I did a damage control assessment. Everything seemed fine. Until I noticed my speaker was barely audible and I seemed to have destroyed my handset speaker as well. After several hours ans overnight in rice it appears my handset speaker is back to normal but it seems my loudspeaker is still rather muffled a little bit. It seems close to normal (maybe its in my head now) but I deff notice a small rattle or vibration only at certain points in ringtone (almost want to say when the bass is strong)as if maybe some rice or water is still stuck. The speaker may actually back to normal strength but this little rattle or brief period of abnormal sound is still present. Anyone have any suggestions? And yes I know I am very lucky if this is the only long term thing (aside from getting a new otterbox I escape with after my random gravity check almost destroyed my fav phone ever.

I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'm surprised it is working at all. You're very lucky.
So the speaker on my phone is giving me problems. Its kind of hard to explain, but it kind of crackles/pops some times... Maybe really high pitched at times. and other times it cuts in and out. With very occasionally i cant hear anything out of it.
Little back story. it was kinda crackling a few months back nothing major. Then I set it on the top of my dresser and it fell onto a metal step ladder. (fell about 6-7 feet and hit on the top of the phone) As always i have a case and the screen didnt break thankfully. But it made the speaker started acting up to the point where phone calls are almost impossible to get through. I went ahead and replaced the speaker, put it back together, and its slightly better, but still not sounding right, and still makes making phone calls unbearable. I Unrooted my phone, just to see if it was the rom and still nothing. so I went ahead and re-rooted again. (couldn't hurt right? ) Am i missing something?? It seems to me like a hardware problem but i dont know what else I'm missing?
Thanks for your help.

As a side note i went on a road trip and used my headphones for the first time since i got the phone 8 months ago. But come to find out the jack doesnt work... It recognizes the headphones being plugged in, but no sound comes through the earbuds. I dont know if its related.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

First, this will most-likely be moved to the Q&A section, so just be aware of that for future posts.
Second, it sounds like it's purely a hardware issue. It sounds like the 6-foot fall jostled some components around. I'd suspect it's a faulty connection to the motherboard, but I really cannot tell. As far as sound issues with various ROMs, I haven't heard of any issues remotely similar to this. There have been issues with sounds on various ROMs, but not of this nature.
As far as solutions go, do you have TEP? This is really the type of replacement that is perfect for TEP.
Questions go in Q&A

Hey guys! I'm reaching the end of my rope with this... so if anyone has had any experience with this, please let me know!
About a week ago, I dropped my S4 into a toilet! Anyways, everything came out fine besides the loud speaker. Now, the speaker isnt completely dead. It produces a low, constant hum (like some sort of electromagnetic interference). It produces different sounds as I use the touchscreen. It will ring and play music, but the quality is horrible. Ive replaced the Speaker ( it was easy since the housing pops on and off) and the USB Flex Cable. I am still getting the horrible hum and bad sound quality from the speaker. For the time being, I have a small piece of paper in front of the positive and negative of the speaker. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!!!

How does the sound from the headphone jack sound?

1st of all..why was your phone even near a toilet lol, that's one thing I don't do. Take my 700 dollar phone into the bathroom.
2nd, have you tried cleaning the terminals before replacing the speaker? did you actually buy a new replacement, or just clean off the one that was in there? http://www.etradesupply.com/

Whats the point of buying a $700 device if you cant do with it what you please? Besides, I was drunk and some dbag walked into the stall I was in while I was taking a piss. The door slammed me in the back and I dropped the phone. Yes, both parts came from a SGH-M919
I took it to a cellphone repair shop and they were stumped too. They tested both parts I bought, as well as the phone itself. The parts worked fine, but they also had the interference with their parts when testing the phone. All they could recommend is some sort of cleaning bath that takes 4 hours. I think I might just do that. Thanks
Hi guys! I recently bought my Oneplus 5t. To make sure everything is okay I had a question.
My Oneplus 5t is working very well, I really like it a lot. I only discovered one thing. When using vibration when the speaker is on you hear besides from the normal vibration sound another very little sound. Now this sound is not that bad, and you might not even hear it. But i was wondering if this is a normal sound.
Fot instance when you unlock the phone. When unlocking you hear a little unlock sound. After this sound the speaker will be on for around 1 or 2 seconds. You'll hear almost nothing, but when placing your ear against the speaker you hear a little static sound. This is normal and on ervery phone, and goes away after a couple of seconds. This is because for your speaker to work you''l need some eletricity going trough it. Again, you almost don't hear this and it's very normal.
When this sound is on and you press for instance the home bottom. The phone will vibrate, if you do this a couple of times fast after unlocking, when the speaker is still on, you''ll hear that little sound I was talking about before. After a couple of seconds, when the speaker is compelety turned off, you don't hear the sound anymore when virbating.
So my conclusion is that it's probably the phone vibrating when the speaker is on, and this (due to how the phone is made) makes a little rosonance with the speaker. I knot for a fact that they moved the vibration motor on the 5t to the bottom off the phone, so it's next to the speaker. Again it's almost no sound and you'll only notice it if you're very carefull. I just wanted to check if my conclusion is right and there is no problem with the phone itself.
In the following video I demonstrate te problem. I will play some music and then let the phone vibrate. From second 2 to 5 you'll hear the 'water drop' sound. The speaker is now still on because it takes some time for the speaker to totaly 'rest' (again this is normal and on every single phone with a speaker). After second 5 the speaker turns totaly off however, and now you'll hear no more water drup sound.

I've also contacted Oneplus Support wirh the video. They said that their devices had it too and that it was a normal sound. What do you guys thinks?

In my eyes OnePlus has done some sh** with this. Same like the "upside down" screen in OnePlus5.
Edit: don't get me wrong. I love the 5T and I cannot think of using another smartphone. But I know oneplus and they will say:"It's normal behavior Blabla"

Thanks for the reply man!
I've seen both treads (made the OnePlus one myself haha). Also got answer from the technical support of OnePlus who analysed my video more times and told me they noticed the sound but it's normal and in their phones too.
I agree that they did not totally think this one through. The vibration motor is just to close to the speaker.. They should have put in the same location as the 5.
But well I guess it's just getting used to. Many people don't ever noticed it I guess, for instance, when you turn on 'sound on tap' you can't even hear it, and it sounds pretty normal if you don't know better.
I'm glad that it's not a hardware malfunction, but it's some getting used to. Further than that, it's an truly amazing phone..

It's your post on OnePlus? Haha didn't knew that
Yeah you're right, this phone is amazing. Hopefully we get used to it and we won't notice it anymore.
At first I thought it was an issue with only my phone. I was going crazy haha

Yeah same man.. I was afraid I had to get it in for repair..
I think many people don't realize it because it's so little? I mean when you do notice it and you're like us (worried if you're new phone might be broken) you'll know. But otherwise the sound is pretty normal I guess?
Glad that it's okay
