Does listing to music wear down the speaker? Like cause it to sound as loud anymore and bust the speaker? Thanks

Phone speakers are just like any other speaker. You can blow it by turning too loud. It will have a slight break in period. They should not wear out or break if used within spec for many years.
The exception would be if you got a bad apple with a manufacturing defect.

Exactly, by the time your speakers break Epic 4G Touch would be an ancient relic.

If you are using a custom kernel try switching back to the stock kernel for awhile and see if it goes away. I've noticed some songs with heavy bass lines will distort when using a kernel with the audio level tweaked.
I almost broke a pair of hundred dollar blue tooth headphones because I thought they were busted only to find out it sounded the same on a pair of regular headphone that I knew were good
If u have insurance on ur phone u can take it to Sprint and they will replace it free. Even if ur rooted. Also if u don't have insurance its 35 bucks
Ignorance is bliss but servitude is its partner
Be careful having your phone around any kind of metal machining/grinding work. The magnet in the speaker will attract any metal dust/particles nearby and the holes in the battery cover and mesh over the speaker opening are too big to stop the smaller stuff. I'm on my third back speaker because of this. Luckily they're easy to change and the place I ordered from sells a minimum quantity of 5 per order.

Pretty sure it was a sarcastic joke. If both your phone and your friends phone sound bad, more than likely it isn't a physical problem with the speaker, and if you aren't running the exact same custom kernel, that probably isn't the issue either.
If they speaker never sounded good to you, it is simply that you are just noticing that the 1/2" cell phone speaker sounds like a dog turd, which is sadly to be expected.
The EVO speaker is one of the best phone speakers I have ever heard, most are smaller and even more tinny sounding.
Went to sprint about my speakers and they are giving Me a new one for free......

Okay so I finally installed a new speaker in my evo but they don't sound that loud like the original. Did I do something wrong?

Probably.
Why didnt you just take the phone to a sprint store? Your phone has a 1 year warranty for hardware defects like this.
Depends on where you got your speaker from. Was it O.E.M.? I installed one that I purchased and it sounded like ish, so I bought another. I've since replaced it 2 more times and finally got an O.E.M. one from a member here on xda. There really isn't a "wrong" way to put it in.

There is a wrong way lol when you assume the numbers go right side up you make that mistake. I did that the first time then fixed it. They don't seem as loud but they are clear. I'm still wondering about it though. Bought them from Gc something company. Five of them.

Well yea, there is that way, lol. As long as the contacts are touching you're good. Not hard though. Pretty straight forward.
The music doesn't sound nice like it did in September. Any solutions or do the speakers just suck?

Well its either installed wrong, or the speaker just sucks. The only way to tell is to try a different brand speaker.

Honestly, I wish I could tell you. This last one I put in was a factory speaker straight from another Evo, O.E.M., and it still doesn't sound right. I know its in right, and the same speaker. It does sound better than the bootleg aftermarket one I bought tho.

My headphone jack is starting to mess up
It sounds fine regularly but since I like my music sounding as good as I can make it I use an equalizer (the one in the stock music app) and I also use the bass boost music effect and then the music starts t crackle a lot (it didn't before) I also tried 5.1 just to check and that completely butchers the music now
I tried 2 pairs of good headphones and its like this on both so I concluded its a problem with my head phone jack.
Do I just clean the jack?
If so how?
I already tried blowing air into it
If all else doesn't work I have to take it to a sprint store right?
Since I don't have insurance how much will it cost me?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It would cost 35 at a store. It's a pretty routine repair, the headphone jack is part of an assembly with the vibrator module, so long as they have harvested parts in stock.
I doubt cleaning will do much good, if you look in there and there's nothing there, that's all there is to clean.

So I just tried to use my headphones with the headphone jack. I tried two different pairs, one with an inline mic and one without. Both of them work, they just feel like they will slide out of the jack with no effort, and actually do come out with a slight tug on the cord.
Is this an issue or is it normal? If its an issue, I just got the phone today, would this be covered under a warranty of some sort? (Its the blue variant)

Edit.
Misread ok if you feel they are to lose then take it back. If you have to tug on them they should be fine. I would guess they would have to be kinda easy to pull out so not to cause damage to the connector

Normal. The One headphone jack doesn't have the "grip" that a lot of other phones have. My friend said the same thing, he thought his was defective.

Honestly, I have not noticed mine being any more loose than any other devices I use

I called and spoke with HTC and the rep recommended that I take it back since the phone is only 5 days old. Walked into Best Buy, explained what happened, 30 minutes later, I'm on my way with a properly functioning One.

Yeah, mines about the same as my Rezound.
So I dropped my phone now I have no mic. What it looks like to me is that your usb charging and mic are the same board. I can still charge so my board must be good. But I have speaker phone and people can still hear me. When I turn speaker phone off, no one can hear me. Could I just buy a mic module and slap that bad boy on?

Easy fix, use Bluetooth earpiece. Lol
Or you can get technical and go inside and change your board that contains the Mic portion!! :banghead:

I'm definitely not shy about opening my phone. I'm just confused, if its a single mic module how the speaker phone works but not when off. So I'm curiois if there is a seperate mic for speaker and just talk?
