Hello,
I'm having again a phone speaker issue, yes the one you make calls. It happend before and that time I returned it to the shop where I bought it from.
After that it was returned and the issue just dissapeared and then I got it back and that has been 7 September 2011, since then it has been working up until now. I have tried many things already, flashing stock rom, installing volume ace.
I'm not sure if its broken or its another issue, I have a work around and that's using it on the handsfree speaker. Would somebody perhaps know how to solve it?
re
Hardware fault, you probably got back a refurbished phone, send it for warranty again...
No they sended back my orginal phone, because they told me they didnt find anything and now its back again. But when they got it the phone was off for about 1 or 3 days and when they tested it was not there anymore.
So that's why I don't wanna be to rush and send it for warranty again, last time I send it to the seller. But before I send it I wanna record some proof because in case it dissapears again then atleast I can see it was there really.
re
Well then there's not much you can do, wait for it to happen again, and then rush to your seller and show it to him, so that you have some proof...
I recorded it so I have proof this time. I already contacted HTC, but I'm hoping it will dissapear again.
So right now I have put my dhd off and put a piece off cloth around it because on my room its cold, but it should be able to withstand cold and some moisture, because sometimes it get moist because off calling with it, the screen will get all sweaty after calling.
But nothing serious, but still the issues I had until now just vanished, but the call speaker issue is back now again and its a mystery why it happens, but I hope it dissapears, because I need my phone when travel around christmas.
Ofcourse it can't be water damage, because I have never drop it in water, it only had few drops off rain, but a phone should be able to handle that.
re
Forget hope, do something about it

Hi all,
Been having some problems with my Defy's earpiece.
Abit of background, before it started acting up:-
1. Damaged the screen and LCD in a fall, phone could turn on but nothing visible on screen
2. Sent to repair in a mobile phone repair shop, they replaced the screen and LCD
Phone now works fine, but the earpiece works abit randomly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to work more often when I receive calls, compared to when I make calls.
The only way I can make a call is by checking first whether the earpiece is working, by logging on to Skype and calling the Echo/Test Sound Service thing. If it's working at the time, then I can make the call as usual. If it's not working, I usually end up having to use the speaker, which works fine.
Is this issue likely to be due to manufacturing problems, or could it have been damaged (along with the screen and LCD) when I fell?
I got the phone in December 2010. I would take it into a T-Mobile store to see if the warranty covers it, but I have a feeling they might somehow know that I sent it elsewhere to get the screen and LCD replaced - I'm guessing this would void my warranty.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
Would appreciate any help, thanks
They definitely know you'd sent the phone to another shop for repair. All phones having the warranty sticker sitting in the battery compartment. Now all you can do is pray they just go blindly repair your phone..

Hmm.. thanks, I might just bring it back to the shop that repaired the screen for me.. if it's too expensive then maybe I'll try change the earpiece myself..
So I dropped my Desire in the toilet while I was drunk the other week, quickly grabbed it out, took the battery out and took it to a repair shop the next morning. He said it would be a minimum 3 days before he could look at it because he said it has to dry out first.
Im guessing he had it in the chemicals for water damage, I dont know and I didnt have to pay. So he rang me 5 days later, said its up and running but it freezes a bit, wanted to let it 'rest' for another day and then I could come in and play with it to see if i was happy with it.
I couldnt come in on the 6th day, but came in on the 7th day and he basically told me the phone didnt make it, it had died and he was glad I didnt come in the day before. Asked if I wanted it back. I said yes because its still under contract. So he told me it would take 15 mins for him to put it all back together. So I had to wait. He returned, put it on the counter the walked off again.
I didnt realise this till later on but there was a little chip that was not there anymore on the front of the handset. I pulled the battery out and it was a bit bulgy and its water sticker was pink. I then compared the phones IMEI to my original box. Different IMEI. I then pulled the handset appart, the liquid stickers inside the handset were all white. So I pulled the charger out, put the dodgy battery in and turned it on.
It bootloops the HTC screen and its very breifly displayed. Like less than a second before it restarts. If I turn it off, the orange LED comes on as if its charging but it never charges. If I pull the battery out with it connected, I get the orange/green led combo. It will load the boot loader screen and can comunicate to the PC, I have tried running the 2.3 update off the HTC Dev site on it again, it successfully loads, but still has the same outcome
Has the phone repair shop done a dodgy on me, with my handset, fixing it, and giving me a stuffed one or is it an honest mistake.
Also if I put a brand new battery in this phone will it work? And should I ring this place up on Monday and ask them what the go is?
I might also add I just got the Sensation, so i'm not too concerned if it never works again.
Dude... If they gave you a different phone, of course you should ring them up and ask them to give you YOUR original phone. It sounds like they scammed you.
... this is a blatant con, they must take you for a retard or something. Go get your phone back before they sell it on.
Hi,

You have obviously been given a different device. This can be a mistake however. Go back to the store and check with them what's happened.
yeah, i thought this would be the case, just didnt know if there was any phone shop owners that might say otherwise, and that its a mistake. oh well, guess ill call them tomorrow and ask them what the go is.
Hi guys, I'm currently on my second one x as first was faulty.
This handset is also faulty and I have a replacement due on Tuesday. I booked the replacement within minutes of getting the handset as the same issues occurred (graphical corruption on most screens, like a garbled cartridge game lol. Also signal dropping not reconnecting)
Annoyingly, my gf handed the phone to me in town today, we fumbled and dropped the thing (headbutting each other in the process, not graceful lol) and now there are several minor scratches on the screen. Not immediately noticeable but you'd see em if you looked for em.
So, in a longwinded way my question is thus. Is it fraudulent to continue with the replacement? I'm hoping they'd right the phone off as a manufacturer fault anyways without much of a check, I'm only on day 9 of my conteact so replacements are easy at this point. Bit fearful they'd just charge for a repair though. Can't afford that,..
What say you fellow xda members, Is this wrong or fine considering the handset was unquestionably faulty on arrival?
Just send it back again, mine has that graphical corruption u r on about, but very rarely happens, it usually on the browser, I'm gonna wait for my SLOW o2 network provider to push the updates out before I decide to send back, just incase that fixes it

Thanks. Do you think they'll care the screen is now scratched? That's my worry.
I'm with three if that helps.
No aslong as there is no real bad damage, they know its hardware/software problem and the condition of the phone shouldn't mattter

Hello
I just purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus From Google last monday. Got it on wednesday the first thing i did was put a screen Protector on it before booting the phone up.(ArmorSuit MilitaryShield) The phone work great on Thursday no issues what so ever. Then i Friday i went to the gym. Kept the thing in my pocket and wiped my hands before touching anything on the phone. (Waiting for otterbox to arrive)
I as soon as i get out i notice Condensation in the front camera. I soon as i received a text my phone hung up and reboot itself. After loading again to the home screen it hung up again as soon as text pop up again. I after 8 tries i final was frustrated. Took the SIM card out and swipe to the right with my finger to try to see if i could unlock it to the home screen.
I was finally able to get into the phone and turn on airplane mode before it hung up again. After i did that i Sut down phone and put the SIM card back in. Repeated the the same steps. As i turn airplane mode off the phone hung up again! (Seems everyone in the mother had to text me at that moment) I was able to make two phone call's before it lock up, but i couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear me. Called 611 then i was able to hear at&t computer but sound like the speaker was dieing. Then the phone lock up and reboot itself.
So i go into the boot loader. The phone was functioning perfected in the boot loader. Play with it for about 10mins. No hangs up. I found that weird. So i reboot the phone was able to get myself into the Factory reset. After that i did a hard factory reset.
So i call Google and they sent me over to Samsung. Samsung wants to do a replacement. I don't mind doing that i just don't like the fact they need a CC number just in case they have to Charge if the phone was abuseded which it wasn't. Baby the hell out of it. They asking me if the phone came into any touch with liquid. The the only thing i could think of was the solution the screen Protector Company sent. I didn't spray the solution directly on the phone but the direction told me to spray couple of sprays on the side of the SP that was going on the screen. (2 Sprays).
The Samsung rep told me the systoms don't sound like water damage. So after getting off the phone (About 1 hr) i notice the condensation was disappearing from the lens. So i took a quick blow dryer to it for about 30 secs. Turn the phone back on and everything been rock solid (Expect for wifi cutting in and out for some reason) for about 2 days.
So tomorrow Samsung fiance department will be calling me for my CC info. My question do you think i should send it in ? Do you think they will find water damage? Was this water damage ? Does the GSM galaxy nexus have Water Sticker ? I'm not able to find one. (Every where i googled no one had a direct answer)
I'm not trying to rip Samsung off i just don't want this to happen down the road again. If it was water damage ill just deal with it i guess.
I wonder if i don't open the new phone tey send me and just use my old 3gs in till i hear back from them... will i be able to send the Replacement phone back if it was water damage ? Just pay the shipping costs? First time dealing with something like this
What do you think i should do ?
Thank you for any input.
Sorry for the wall of text.
Just Notice i posted this in the wrong section My bad ill ask for mod to move it.
Look at the water contact indicator under the battery and see if it is red. A wet apply screen protector should not have caused this, but be careful to not let water get in the speaker and crevices when applying. In the future if your phone does come in contact with water or condensation remove the battery and sim Immediately and place in dry rice for 24 hours, do not try to power it on. Many others are reporting wifi instability, check the threads for solutions.

Do you think Samsung will find anything ? Sorry for all the questions. The lens on the front camera was white. Is there stickers inside the phone where the CPU is
I heard there was like 3 water indicators in the phone.
That I couldn't tell you, I've never taken the phone apart so I would only be guessing. You might could find out by looking for a "tear down" of the phone, there should be several online if you do a Google search. Is the phone continuing to function well for you? Besides the wifi?
Yeah its been running great. Just got off the phone with Samsung. I think i just keep this phone. I don't want to pay for repair cost's. If the phone dies in month then i guess it was water damage. I hope there's no corrosion on PCB. I would love to take it apart but i don't want to void the warranty to check. Is there warranty Sticker in there ?
The wifi thing might be my fault. My laptop does that sometimes too. I'm just freaking out. I love the phone. I don't want it too die. Just ran a CPU stability test for about 15mins. No errors the battery was at 42c temp. Went ahead and sut the phone down. Going to wait 15 mins then turn it back on.
Hi,
When I tried to unlock my phone this morning the screen didn't turn on so i figured the battery died on me. I connected it to the charger but it didn't do anything. A few seconds later i suddenly got a notification sound and the LED started blinking but still the screen wouldn't come on. I tried tapping some random places in the screen and I noticed it responded to my touch, by now I started getting scared the screen might have died on me.
I pulled the battery and tried to reboot the phone, same problem, screen responds but doesn't display anything, not even the google logo.
Then I tried getting in the bootloader, same thing here, got into bootloader but screen didn't display anything. I figured it might be a problem with the bootloader or whatever so I flashed the factory image from Google but the problem persisted.
The phone was working perfectly yesterday and it hasn't dropped on the floor or got wet, it just sat on the table all night long.
So is there anything else I can do? Has my screen just died randomly on me?
In case the screen needs to be replaced, will Samsung do this for free? I'm not sure if it matters but I'm in Europe.
Anyone? I'm quite desperate here.

I sent my phone in and it turned out I had water damage, even though I'm sure it never ever came in to contact with water or even moisture. Had to buy a new one, no refund or anything. Even had to pay €200 to get my broken phone back.
I hope you have more luck than I did.
You got ripped hard, water damage is an excuse the telcos use to get out of replacing your device, its a widespread practise, sounds like your phone had a hardware fault and should have been repaired or replaced.
If it happens again insist on proof and explain you know your rights and will pursue a formal investigation with whatever is the relevant consumer authority in your region.
Dont take no for an answer and be prepared to politely but firmly argue for your rights and also escalate the complaint if not satisfied with the sellers response.
It is not unusual for mass produced devices to have hardware faults, but water damage is a total copout by the seller.
For example it is estimated that between 0.5% and 2.5% of sgs3 i9300 devices have faulty batteries which leak and damage internal hardware, and typically the seller will blame the buyer for water damage (more $ for them) rather than replace the device (no $ for them).
