does anyone else have issue with people not be able to hear you with the TP2 - I think its just the way I place the phone when speaking but anyway of increasing the mic sensitivity perhaps?
much appreciated.

Sometimes people tell me this as well. I too think it is just how I am holding the phone, cause once they tell me and I change how I am holding it, everything seems to be fine.
Though, sometimes people say this when on speaker phone as well, and my face is 8 inches away. With full duplex, the speaker phone should work just like having it to my ear.
Hmm.
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.
Is anyone getting these slight clicking noise from the speaker whenever the phone is in use, like opening an app for example. I got my phone phone from the launch event (5th in line!! ) and i only noticed when it was really quiet in my room these noises came from the speakers.
To check, open an app and quickly put your ear to the speaker and I hear a hissing noise then a soft click. Always happens when i open an app!
I went back to Phones4U, the guy could tell it was faulty so I got it replaced..now same problem!! (not as loud as before, but still there)
Anyone having the same problem? can anyone check for me? this can't be normal!

Yeah I have that problem. It's one of those things that you don't really notice until you know it's there, then you hear it all the time
Someone on another forum posted they had the same, so it might not be an isolated problem.
Isn't that just the touch click?
Try Settings/Sound/Touch sounds.
Personally I rather like it..

No, I have that turned off.
It happens whenever the speaker is used - when the sound stops there is a quiet hiss, followed by a pop as the speaker switches off.
Try it - hold the speaker right up to your ear, and use the volume rocker to hear the beep. Afterwards there is hiss followed by a pop.
It's not noticeable enough to be an issue (for me) in normal use, but you can hear it if you're in a quiet room.

I can hear it on my G2x... I'm sure it's not an issue and your just being paranoid because you dropped a whole bunch of cash on a new phone

The click comes like 3 seconds after you make an input, so it doesn't sound right and it just sounds random (and annoying).
thanks tho!
Edit: Turning off Touch sounds, seems to stop it, whenever im using the phone..but yeah still happens whenever the speaker is in use but that i can live with that!

Happens with my OG Droid. I only started noticing it one late night when for no reason I had the speaker right up next to my ear.
I don't think it's anything to worry about

Heh, that's certainly got something to do with it
As I say it's not really an issue, and it's not unique to this phone (as you point out). Just one of those annoying niggles - it depends on how sensitive you are to these things
Yes - I have the same problem with my new Galaxy Nexus. In fact, even if it's not a problem for most people, I'd say it is a problem for Samsung because I returned my phone yesterday and got it swapped out. The new one has the same problem, so I assume it's an Android software problem rather than a hardware glitch.
So that's at least two returns caused by this problem. Hope we get a fix at some point!
p.s. Phone is great by the way, even with the annoying click.
Guys
This is hardware problem. And it happens on most of the speakers however its more or less noticeable on some devices.
I have quite good quality monitors (studio speakers) and i can hear something hissing in the back.
Let me put it that way.
Every speaker needs electricity to work. The noise you are hearing is the actual electric current coming through the speakers. The sudden pop and lack of the hiss means that speaker has been turned off. For obvious reasons there is no point for the speaker to work constantly....

I can't hear any click when I plug headphones in, so maybe you're right - the click could be when the amplifier that powers the internal speaker turns off...
However, for some reason I still get a click if the phone is in silent mode. I guess putting it in silent mode doesn't guarantee it keeps the amplifier turned off.
I hope it's just the speakers; the DAC in my HD2 hissed for a few seconds after any sounds even through my headphones. The hissing was always there when there was sound. It was quite depressing. I'm hoping for a good DAC in the Galaxy nexus.
I've got a click (sounds just like a quite speaker pop) from the back cover.
Turn your GN over and push the back cover, on the "Google" logo (below the camera flash). Then quickly release your finger.
Sometime it can happen with only the lightest of touches. If i put my phone down on my chest, the pick it up.
If you look really closely you can see the cover moving just below the camera surround.
Issue has been reported to google.

I have this issue on my gnex. Its def a sw problem. I took the back cover off and still have the issue.
slightly different, but also hiss related...
my rezound does the same thing when headphones(or aux to car) are plugged in and nothing is playing. once you start to play something you don't notice it. and its a confirmed issue.
It's a hardware issue guys, depends on the audio chip I believe. Impedance-related.

It isn't just on the speaker either. Atleast on my Galaxy Nexus, I can hear it when listening on high end professional in-ear headphones. I can verify that it is almost certainly a signal isolation problem. The activity causes the DAC (the thing that makes a digital signal into an analog signal that speakers and headphones need) to kick on for a few seconds and until it shuts off you can hear the noise coming out of the DAC. It's pretty substantial on mine though, so I'm wondering if I got a bad unit. I'll have to stop by a Verizon Wireless store and plug in to the display unit to see if it is any better. I never noticed this on my Galaxy S (Fascinate).
My unit is also affected, it was made in Vietnam. I checked the Google Code issue tracker link (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307) and I can see many people confirming this also. This is definitely not how the speaker should work - I checked another Samsung phone (SGS II) and there's no such "clicks". There's some silent noise but not the click.
I can hear it from the speaker only, not through the headphones.
I think many users are unaware of the issue because it is often only noticeable in a silent environment.
Yes getting same issue. Have tried different ROMS to no avail
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.
I noticed if I put the volume high when on a call there's this buzzing/rattling in the earpiece. Should I be worried? After hearing this the first time I shook my phone and it sounds like something is loose near that area. Anyone else have the same rattle?

Yep, I've had the same issue and noticed that many models in the store had the same issue. I didnt worry about the replacement, because the replacement might have new defects/issues... Just saying... Live with it Bro !
