I can't answer such a generic question without more information. First, I'm going to assume you mean the earpiece, not the external. Next, I'm going to assume it's STOCK EC05 rooted. So based on that assumption, you likely don't believe you've done anything to your Epic that would cause this kind of error. Then I'm going to take it that, either your question is rhetorical and you believe you have a hardware issue, or you believe that either EC05 or rooting is the cause and you're asking if anyone has had any similar problem with EC05.
I can say that I don't know of any similar problem with rooting or EC05. But seeing as you don't mention whether you're even stock or custom, or whether this problem arrived before or after you rooted, no one will be able to compare their situation to yours. Please enclose better information. The following are my generic solutions:
1. Download Sound Manager and attempt to tweak hidden sound settings.
2. Flash or re-flash a ROM (as I don't know if you're custom or not to begin with).
3. Odin to stock or stock-rooted EB13.
4. Head to your nearest Sprint repair store.

Same issue
All notification sounds and ringtones play through the earpiece instead of the speaker
I had the issue on stock rom figured rooting would fix it.
It did for a couple days and then everything went back to playing through the earpieces as if I was on the phone.
I use a bluetooth car kit often and Im wondering if that has anything to do with it
There may be a simple fix for you. This has happened to me a few times when I have plugged up my Epic to wired headphones. Something about disconnecting can sometimes cause the phone to think it is still outputting sound to the headphones, so you cannot hear sound anymore . . . even with a restart. A simple fix is just to plug in a headphone jack again and remove again. This has fixed this issue for me numerous times.
Lost my sound today
Took the above advise and plugged in a wired headset then unplugged. Worked like a charm...for about 2 hours...then happened again. No matter what I try now, cant get sound again.
B4 u ask:
Been CleanGB/BML w/o any mods or themes for long time.
Havent installed any new apps in days.
No OC/UV
Sounds are fine in wired headset
BT works.
Cleared DV cache and reboot > no fix
ODIN'ed stock EC05 > no fix
---this tells me its not the os, but why did it work after plug/unplug headset?
Yes, Sprint store just down the street, but I love a challenge Anyone?
Same problem. Works fine if I plug in an audio out. But did ring for instant messages for about a day. So speaker does work. Wonder if I should go with the kernel that was orginally flashed with cm9?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
There are two different issues being reported here.
One being, sounds come out of the ear piece and not the speaker (e.g. ring tone during incoming call can be heard with phone up to your head).
The other being no sound at all, unless you connect to the headphone jack.
The latter I would suspect to be a HW problem (loose internal speaker connection maybe?).
The former would be an audio routing issue I've experienced myself (usually related to BT, speaker-phone, etc).
A simple reboot should fix the routing issue (has for me a few times).
=]
If u Odin back to stock and it still doesn't work then its probly hardware. I tried everything thinking it was sw but ended up replacing the speaker.

I have the exact same issue, if I plug in headphones it will work through speaker, nothing connected it thinks headphones are connected. I have to jam a eyelet from my shoes in there, and connect it to bluetooth to hear audio...
So I ain't the only one...
Went back to stock, same difference, nothing I know will correct it...

This is a known phenomenon I've seen a thread here before where the headphones are reversed... like it think the headphones are plugged in when they aren't.... dunno what causes it but its certainly not too abnormal.

Wrong forum, this is galaxy s1 epic 4g with keyboard.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so please excuse me if I'm off-section/off-topic.
I bought an OEM Car Dock for my T-989 (also one for my wife's Galaxy S 4G), only to find out that the Call Audio was going through the phone speakerphone, instead of the Car Speakers.
After some research I found out that this wasn't an out-of-the-box feature, but one that had to be cooked in a KERNEL.
I also found out that this a known issue on all Samsung Galaxy phones, and after browsing Google and this wonderful forums, I found a "cure" on the "Captivate" section, which is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916233
I wonder if a similar solution could be implemented on our Kernels?
Thanks in advance!
Nobody interested in this? Unbelievable. It's a problem with all the Samsung phones/docks.
do you have Audio output mode checked in settings/docksettings checked?
App
I had this problem on my Vibrant. There is a app on the market that redirect the sound for you. It's called galaxy sound redirector. https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsIm5ldC5tdXRlaGVhZGxpZ2h0LmRvY2tyZWRpciJd
This was an issue on the original galaxy s line. I thought they had it fixed on our phone. I can not confirm this I don't have the new phone dock. It should work for your wife.

I just picked up the dock last night and the audio was playing through the phones speaker. Did a quick Google search on the phone (car was parked in drive-way) and found that you need to go into SETINGS/DOCK SETTINGS.

We dealt with this on the Jugs thread because I originally thought it was a bug with Juggs and tried to bring it Whitehawk's attention. But we later discovered like you guys did that it's actually a setting that needs to be enabled! No problem with the car dock!

I have the same issue. I have 2010 toyota with oem bluetooth and i can pair fine with it and play songs do skype calls (which works on car phone) but when i have actual call it pauses everything and i have to use the phone speaker to talk the person. Very annoying i reflashed couple of times. Played with dock settings with no luck. So I now carry my cute lil handsets and plug it in when i get a call or avoid taking calls at all when driving LOL
Hey maybe its designed this way LOL
I will be following this thread hopefully something can be done !

Yes, only calls. Somebody said that it had to be enabled in a kernel.
Music plays fine through the car speakers.
We should demand (delicately lol) from our devs to cook this feature in their kernels.
Guise, don't let this die...
I've been wondering the same thing as well. When I first got the dock audio for calls & notifications were going through the car speakers but once I flashed a custom kernel that went away (all other audio works fine). I don't see a flashable stock kernel in the dev forum & I don't have ODIN here at work so I'll test it out over the weekend.

Ah thats good news.. i flashed it right away so i dont know if it worked with stocked one or not i do have a backup from ODIN might try to restore and see if that works.
Can moderator move this to dev area .. so we can get some light on this subject from devs?
I have a stock SGS2, and the OEM dock. I use CarHome Ultra for my default Car Mode App. I also have my SGS2 paired with my cars BT. All of my calls route through my BT, but phone audio routes through speaker. I changed this setting in my BT menu to route only call audio to BT and not system audio. CarHome Ultra is also setup using its defaults for audio routing.
Hope this helps

This was originally on "Dev", it was moved here. Although I understand the reason why, I also vote for this to be moved to the Dev section, this having to do with custom kernel modification.
Just my humble opinion, of course.
I forgot to mention that I flashed a custom Kernel, specifically the "Synergy v0.10". If anyone fully-stock could confirm that call audio is routing through car speakers would be great.
No answers yet?
This is driving me crazy, why did Samsung design this phone so that all audio EXCEPT phone calls would go through the car dock!?!?!!?
Surely someone who knows something about developing is as annoyed as us!
I wish I could fix it - going to do some research here!
PS I vote that this gets moved to DEV section too... this is beyond just a Q and A... and more of a mission to solve!!

shouldnt we voice this to samsung aswell?
Very frustrating. I bought the Samsung OEM Navigation Vehicle Mount for the T989.
While docked, media (music and videos) play through the car speakers as expected. However, if a call comes in, the Call Audio only comes in through the phones speaker and not the car speakers.
From what I have been reading, it has to be fixed in the kernel somehow or baked in.
Currently, I am running Darkside Digital Warfare v2.4. I have tried all of the other roms including stock ones. I am open to using whatever rom has this fix or can flash the fix via kernel or whatever.
I am just requesting to see if someone has a fix. The purchase of the mount is very frustrating and annoying to use with the Call Audio problem.
Any help or point of direction would be greatly appreciated. You can reply here or PM.
Thanks for the consideration. ;-)
Have you tried any other kernels? There's faux's kernel, Mr X's stock based kernel...maybe one of those might adjust the issue you're experiencing.
Dfjcisnv
this is how it works with the desk dock as well, regardless of having external audio checked in dock settings. It worked this way using stock ROM as well I believe so it's a "feature". It would need to be hacked to have it perform otherwise I think.
Oh, and I think this should be in general also? Idk.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Saw your post and it gave me a laugh! I was ranting about this very thing yesterday while taking a call in my car. You can barely hear the caller through the built in speaker! why would they do that? If anyone figures this out I also would be very appreciative to see a fix.

[SOLUTION IN THIS POST]
There seems to be a compatibility issue with the new Bluetooth 4.0 of my HOX when pairing with some devices that have BT 3.0 version.
My own issue is with the Car Audio System of my 2008 C350 Mercedes Benz. The Bluetooth telephony worked perfectly with my DHD.
Now, I can pair my HOX with the system, but when I receive a call I can hear the other party only for 2 seconds then the voice is gone. As if we've both muted the call.
On the other hand, when I call someone, the phone call goes through just fine.
I've been reading a lot concerning this subject, and it seems that people are having the same problem with their SGIII.
A software update of the SGIII that was released for some carriers seems to have fixed the issue.
Also, my sister's iPhone 4S works fine with the system, even though it has BT 4.0.
So I believe this issue can be fixed, but it needs one of the Gurus on XDA to come up with a fix
My issue was slightly different (phone would pair but not connect) and I got onto my car kit manufacturer (in this case was a parrot system used in a mitsubishi) and found out I could update that. Since updating my car kit have had no problems at all.
That's good to hear. I read somewhere that updating the car system could be a solution.
But I'm hoping a solution could be made on the phone's side.

there might be nothing wrong on the phones side, have you checked to see if you can update your devices that are having problems as suggested?
i've had no issues running even bt2.1 stuff
Updating did not fix the issue.
Other phones (with older versions than BT 4.0) work perfectly.
I don't have access to updating my car's audio system atm, so I'm hoping something could be done on the phone's side.
But since this isn't a very wide spread problem among XDA users, I'm thinking it's not going to be an easy task.
Update:
Today, I tried something. After answering a call, the same thing happened (after 2 seconds I could no longer hear the other party but the call didn't drop)
On my HOX I chose Speaker and I was able to hear the other person talking; switched it back to BT handsfree (my car's audio system) and it worked.
Even though this is not a solution, but at least now I can answer a call when I'm driving. I just have to switch to Speaker then BT... Still better than nothing
Having a similar problem with mine, it pairs fine, I can access the phonebook etc but as soon as you try to make a call the bluetooth disconnects. However, i've found that if you turn the bluetooth off and back on again and re-pair it, it seems to work properly.
Would be nice if it just worked first time though.

After reading about this subject extensively, it seems that updating your car audio system is the best solution.
I suggest you take an appointment with the BMW service station and have them update your system.
yeah, i'm going to look into it. did you get yours sorted?
Bmw bluetooth 4.0
Same problem here on first connect every thing works fine but the next time the connection is lost with the first call.
Bmw doesn't have a update yet.
Would be cool if someone on xda could fix this for us.

Does the call drop completely? or you simply stop hearing the other party?
I noticed something new today.
During a phone call (connected to Car Audio System), and I receive an SMS, the same thing happens (but the workaround still works).

SOLVED
Even though this is an old thread, I wanted to let you know that this issue has been fixed.
By updating my Hboot to 1.31 and using a jelly bean ROM, I no longer have a problem with Handsfree over Bluetooth.
For those of you who are still facing this issue, I hope this helps.
NOTE: Before updating to new Hboot, you need to make sure your CID allows it. Check here.
Also you need to flash a jelly bean ROM afterwards, I use ARHD and it's pretty good!

Hi all,
After an extensive search around the web and these forums I have not found a solution to my problem. In a weak moment, I spilled a small amount of water on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and my internal microphone was broken as a result. The broken microphone left me with a horrible static sound during calls and the person on the other end unable to hear me. However, when I use the phone on speakerphone, calls work fine. I'm assuming this is because the speakerphone uses a different mic (i.e. the camera mic?). I've thoroughly tested to make sure that the microphone is broken by wiping completely, going all the way back to stock 4.0, and checking the microphone on each of the following iterations of Android. I went to Verizon and had my SIM card swapped out to no avail. After the problem failed to fix itself, I re-rooted and am now running CM 10.1.
Anyway, as a user of Groove IP for my calls, I started messing around with the settings and found that it allows me to change the default microphone during calls. It allowed me to force the phone to use the camera mic rather than the internal mic and, alas, it worked! I'm sure the quality on the other end is not quite as good but it's the best I'll be able to do at this point. Now, here comes the MOD request.. I'm wondering if any of the amazing devs that frequent this forum could take a look through the source code and see if they can force my phone to use the camera mic all the time (via a flashable zip?). This would allow me to use it not only during calls but throughout my system as well (i.e. voice search, text to speech). This would really extend the life of my device and I'd love to buy somewhere a beer or two for helping me out.
If you want to see how Groove IP does it, the mic source settings are in Groove IP (lite or pro) troubleshooting section of the settings. Thanks in advance!

Im preety sure thats a software glitch you have there my friend the speaker and normal phone use the same microphones as far as i am aware. The reason it may work in speaker phone only is because the galaxy nexus has a microphone on the top and bottom of the handset. Which mic is not working. I need specifics.
Hmmm... Okay, I didn't know it uses a second mic other than for noise cancellation. I was assuming it was the bottom mic, and I test it by using the Sound Recorder app and all I get is static. I can record videos with audio just fine, which is how I know the camera mic works. It would certainly be a curious software issue, considering the problems occurred immediately after the water damage, but I'm open to it. How do you think I can test the different internal mics to see which one is/isn't working?

From what I know now it sounds like a hardware issue. I highly recommend buying a replacement. Im not quite sure what youy expect from a mod or something. Could you explain. Ill try to help as best I can.

here this might help: replacement mic
Well that replacement mic could certainly be an option, I appreciate the link. I can also confirm that your download works as well.
But what I'm looking for is this, some sort of mod that will deactivate the broken (internal mic) and tell the phone to automatically use the camera mic in all situations in which a mic would be needed. Basically tell the phone it only has the one mic. I'm not sure if this is possible or even plausible, but I appreciate your help either way.

You will need a special sort of mod. Im not sure if there are any out there. I could take a look into making one for you, if you like (no garuntees).
P.S. Thanks for trying the link.
Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated.. Even if you get in there and decide it's too much work, that's fine. If it won't work then maybe I'll try that replacement mic, though I'm not sure I have the steady hands or the technology to pull off a job like that.

You can replace the mic for under $15 so it isnt too bad price wise. Do a google search locally for computer or phone shops. You can often time get them to replace it for like $50, but its garunteed to be properly installed. Doing it yourself isnt very hard if you have a good instruction ste and the proper tools.
Yeah, that would definitely be better than getting a new device before I'm ready. Thanks.

So I replaced the USB and mic to no avail... The same problem persists. Major static on phone calls until set to speaker phone and nothing but static recorded with the sound recorder. I suppose it's a problem with another piece of hardware or actually a software issue. I've rooted, un rooted, wiped, and wiped some more, so I'm suspicious it's a hardware issue.
Is it possible or even plausible to make a (flashable) mod that tells my device to only use the camera microphone (or the other mic?) for all situations in which a mic is required? I'd be willing to throw a beer or two (or whatever your poison) your way as this would really extend the life of my device.

I have the same exact issue!
I've been looking everywhere for the past month to find anyone else with this problem... I can't believe i missed this post somehow. For me it started after i put my head to my phone after a shower. I wasn't sure it was from this as i had recently started using a new ROM as well as an extended battery from Hyperion.
I have attempted replacing both the headset speaker ( the one used when you put the phone to your ear) which includes the second microphone and that didn't help, and i just tried replacing the microphone and that didn't help either.
I have also attempted going to earlier ROMs and that didn't help.
I have been wondering if flashing a different radio may help, though i figured it probably is not related to the radio as the calls sound fine on the speaker mode. Have you discovered anything else with your phone?

I have the same exact issue!
I've been looking everywhere for the past month to find anyone else with this problem... I can't believe i missed this post somehow. For me it started after i put my head to my phone after a shower. I wasn't sure it was from this as i had recently started using a new ROM as well as an extended battery from Hyperion.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed. I've accepted the fact that I can only use my phone on speakerphone. The most disappointing part of it is that I can't use voice actions on my phone.

Thanks for the update. I plan on trying some more things in the next week or so and will keep you up to date.

I should also note that since I first notice this issue, I also noticed my phone slow to detect the charger after plugging it in. Instead of it being to charge almost immediately after plugging it in, it take about 10-15 seconds before it detects it. This problem persisted even after replacing the micro usb component.
same problem with my Samsung galaxy s4

Hi all,
After an extensive search around the web and these forums I have not found a solution to my problem. In a weak moment, I spilled a small amount of water on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and my internal microphone was broken as a result. The broken microphone left me with a horrible static sound during calls and the person on the other end unable to hear me. However, when I use the phone on speakerphone, calls work fine. I'm assuming this is because the speakerphone uses a different mic (i.e. the camera mic?). I've thoroughly tested to make sure that the microphone is broken by wiping completely, going all the way back to stock 4.0, and checking the microphone on each of the following iterations of Android. I went to Verizon and had my SIM card swapped out to no avail. After the problem failed to fix itself, I re-rooted and am now running CM 10.1.
Anyway, as a user of Groove IP for my calls, I started messing around with the settings and found that it allows me to change the default microphone during calls. It allowed me to force the phone to use the camera mic rather than the internal mic and, alas, it worked! I'm sure the quality on the other end is not quite as good but it's the best I'll be able to do at this point. Now, here comes the MOD request.. I'm wondering if any of the amazing devs that frequent this forum could take a look through the source code and see if they can force my phone to use the camera mic all the time (via a flashable zip?). This would allow me to use it not only during calls but throughout my system as well (i.e. voice search, text to speech). This would really extend the life of my device and I'd love to buy somewhere a beer or two for helping me out.
If you want to see how Groove IP does it, the mic source settings are in Groove IP (lite or pro) troubleshooting section of the settings. Thanks in advance!
