Hi. try flashing back the stock rom. If still same prob, then and take it back frm where you bought it. They should fix under waranty, or exch it. it may be faulty
btw did the issue started happening after u flashed a custom rom?
I had the same problem...
...searched all over trying to find a solution relating to Desire HD but eventually found my answer in a thread relating to an older HTC phone.
I doubt I'd find it again so I can't give the credit where it's deserved but the poster suggested a couple of possible causes and solutions as I recall;
1. The speaker in the earpiece naturally contains a magnet and could over time pick up bits of metal fragments (swarf) from dust, in your pocket, off tables, etc. He suggested using a stronger magnet to stroke it off perhaps, or even easier (and perhaps safer for other components) just blow!
2. The speaker will have a thin plastic diaphragm that resonates to form the sound. If this becomes malformed somehow it will produce crackling/tinny noise and poor volume. The solution here is to close your mouth over the earpiece and either blow or suck If one doesn't work then try the other and test again.
Sounds comical I know(!), but it worked for me. I can't remember if it was blowing or sucking in my case but I was very glad I had avoided having to go through customer services and being without my phone. Instant fix and it's been fine since.
Like I said, this isn't Desire HD specific advice - it could happen to any cellphone really. I hope you have the same joy as I did ;-)
Funny but it works!
I was just going to unroot and return my Desire Z Vision to stock, and try to get it fixed under warranty. What a hassle!
I'm not sure whether the blowing or the sucking was it, but it fixed the terrible sound distortion coming from the phone earpiece speaker at higher than minimum in-call volumes.
Thanks so much! I love the XDA community!

I have been searching for a replacement earpiece speaker and found your post.
The blowj** did really help me.

To me I have tried blow trick but it messed up the ear piece more. But there is no way you going to loose the sound unless you drop the phone , try the magnet trick or using a vacuum cleaner ( I was once thinking of doing that ) try to re flash your DHD may be it will help and try to go with stock Rom first with mod kernel .

I just blew on the earpiece mate. Nothing more.. I have never evr dropped the phone not even once in 7 months...
I will try the things you suggest and get back if I have any luck.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply though
Hi, I am on a t-mobile branded stock DHD which has never been rooted and the in call volume is amazingly low, I can barely hear people when I'm outside and most of the time I have to put it on speaker, I never had this problem with my n95 or bb 9780, can anyone help or offer any suggestions, is there a chance my handset could be faulty. Also does call quality improve in gingerbread as I am still awaiting that update.

What I can tell you my friend is that when I first got the phone for a while (about 2 months) the in-call volume and quality was very decent. I did not have a single problem. That is until the sound distortion started....

HTC Desire HD weird sound from earpiece
Hey guys
I am experiencing something really weird. On my desire HD, when I start a call (make/receive) the sound is at max and is fine, after sometime the calls sound is all distorted as if the speaker is burst, once I lower the sound its fine i.e. <50%. If i keep my phone upside down for some time, the sound gets normal on the earpiece but again after sometime it gets distorted again.
What is going on? My speaker (earpiece) sounds okay for a few mins and then gets distorted, and after sometime it gets back to normal and then again distorted.. help me out guys i cant figure out and cant fix it.
I have tried:
1) Magnet in front of earpiece to pull out fragments of small metals on the speaker
2) Left the phone in an air tight jar with a dessicant on the earpiece
What next?

The earpiece has failed and needs replacing I'm afraid.

Maybe yes, but its like alright for a few mins, e.g. in a 10 min call, 6 min its fine, then its like something is gradually appearing on the speaker to make it sound bad, slowly and gradually the sound gets from OK to bad as if something is vibrating with the speaker.
What I dont understand is that how does it get okay after a few mins rest?
I live in Pakistan, no Official HTC Support here, everything is either smuggled or people order from abroad... If it fails its a pretty tough situation for me !
Last resort is to blow in the earpiece or to use the professional air spray blower, but none of these trials is curable, this info is from HTC support website, mine requires repair, or I can use it for gaming and chatting, in that way an itoutch is quite enough.
Actually it was a great "phone" but now it's just an itouch or game&watch, or may be elastic baloon according to the technician solution.
Thanks htc ... No more purchases

Hello all,
Earlier this week my earpiece suddenly stopped working and now I cannot hear anyone's voice when receiving/making calls (yes in-call volume is maxed out).
I am ec05 stock rooted running the genocide 2.0 kernel. I've been this way for about a month with absolutely no issues at all until this week.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Maybe the ear piece is broken

Tried doing a factory reset (should I have done a reset through Clockwork instead?). Nothing changed.
Gonna see if I can get a replacement from Radioshack since we have the warranty with them.
try turning speaker phone on /off while in call. my phone used to do that randomly sometimes.
Just tried that to no avail
Thanks though.
Odin back to straight stock and see if it works.
Had something similar happen to me. Installed one of those apps that adjusts the ringers and notifications etc and the problem vanished. My problem was intermittent though.

Your ear piece is dead, go to sprint and its 35 bucks to get it replaced, I had to do it not even a month ago.

I just bought a new earpiece, keyboard, and Mic.
The Mic has always been garbage when using speaker phone. The person on the other end has problems hearing me when on speaker so hopefully that will fix it.
The #4 key was sheared off when the slide helper fell out...I already pulled it apart and set that back in place.
And then the damn ear piece quit working. I found one on eBay and am waiting on it to get here so I can pull it apart again and replace all this ****. I don't understand how all this stuff breaks AND I have to deal w unfinished software LOL. Glad It's my wife's phone hehe.
My new earpiece didn't correct the issue. I have tried everything from Odin to multiple roms. I give up. Lame. Very lame.
Update:
I have replaced the speaker...no workie....Odin...no workie....roms....no work....
My wife and I gave up and called sprint, went to a store, they swappedthe entire piece that houses the screen and earpiece and it works now!! This is great! Lol the Guy told me they couldn't swap the speaker, I kept my mouth shut. No insurance, over 1 year of owning the phone...$35 got it fixed, and they dropped a new keyboard in as my wife somehow sheared #4 key off. Good day. She's rocking stock ec05 til she gets frustrated w battery life again lmao.
Hi,
this has been posted a few times by different users, including me.
As the title says, when making calls the volume is not loud enough, while other people has to turn the volume down.
On the online chat with HTC they told me to compare it with other HOX but i only have one :silly:
I am on T mobile uk and ARHD 7.2.1 but flashed many before. Tried sim card on an old phone without any problems.
Warranty or there are other solutions? Please help is driving me crazy whe call my misses (is me shouting at her, for her to shout back)
Thanks
I turned the hearing aid setting on and it's loud enough now.

have you per-chance installed a cover or protector over the speaker holes?
I've had this issue a while ago, and I found out that it was because dust had gone through the ear piece and settled.
Try to clean you ear piece with a soft (and clean off course) toothbrush, I was astonished by the amount of dust that crept in.

ARHD 7.2 but FWIW I don't ever remember seeing it in stock 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 either
Maybe this option only exists in the leaked base.
Arhd 7.2 is based on leaked 2.05 base...

Screen replacement
If you had sent your screen for replacement and are suffering from low volume.. This could be the reason
The dudes over at the service place didn't remove all the protective plastic that come with a new screen... There was this small plastic piece protecting the earpiece from behind the holes.. it was sitting between the holes and on the earpiece speaker. Removed it and what a difference..
We all know the nexus speaker is terrible. Well.. I didn't know it was "Terrible". Lol or whatever but I listen to music and watch videos while I shower, so during the shower startup I was turning on some tunes and bam! The speaker cut out, now I've dealt with speakers before either in cars, home speakers or whatever. I immediately blew on it like a nes cartridge, then surprise it turned on the sound again. 8 minutes or so later it cut back out :banghead: this time I tap on the speaker area. It cut back in then out.. I'm now frustrated.
So I thought maybe it thinks the headphone jack has something plugged in and maybe headphones work. It did infact work. Pretty much it hasn't turned back on and I'm curious why, is there a short and if so how do I get inside the guts and fix fix this? Its obviously different from a car speaker and home speaker and won't be as easy to fix.
Any help would be appreciated. :beer:

I'm guessing it has to do with the humidity while taking a shower and the water getting in. I assume the damage has been done as the phone is on already, so rice wouldn't help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I would also say the high humidity would have caused this. Sounds like the speaker terminals are corroding, which would account for the cutting in and out. Most electronics don't do well in high humidity situations like bathrooms with a shower running.
Well.. Damn. Thanks guys.

check out youtube. there a few tear down and build videos out there to help you take it apart. my vibrator motor cut out on me and had to replace that part. ebay had the piece i needed to for under 20.
You could try giving it a bath in isopropanol alchohol (99%). It might be enough to clean the corrosion if that's the issue. Just dunk it in, swirl it around a bit, let it sit for a bit, then swirl it again, then let it dry. It shouldn't take too long to dry as it's an alchohol, and it won't hurt your phone.
Anyone notice thier speakerphone mic volume during a call is super low? Everytime I make a call and turn on speakerphone, the other party on the call cannot hear me very well. However, when I'm on Skype and using speakerphone it is extreamely clear and loud. Any Thoughts?
*Update*
So I noticed the galaxy S 3 uses the microphone on the bottom for speakerphone but the Note 2 uses the one on top. I've always thought the top mic was for noise canceling and real nothing else. I just don't know if I should get a replacement phone or if it is something that should be fixed with updates.

I'm not worried about the actual speaker volume. I was commenting on the outgoing mic volume while on speakerphone. In other words, the person I call can't hear me very well while I'm on speakerphone in a quiet environment.

I thought it was the mic. I use speaker phone and always pointed the bottom of my phone towards me. this phone, sane prob as you, no one could hear me. as soon as I realized the mic switches to top,I turned the thing upside down and problem was solved. make sure the top of the phone is pointed towards you and not the bottom as you'd assume

I just used my speaker phone just to see how mine works. I had the phone 2ft away with top hole speaker facing me
And then I switched to normal talking. And my friend couldn't tell the difference between me using speaker phone and normal talk.
I know this is old but i can't find any other info on this issue. When i click on speakerphone during a call i have to speak into the mic at the top of the phone and i have to put my mouth right up to it. If i back up one inch they cannot hear me. The bottom mic does not work. Is there a fix for this?

My guess is you have a conflicting setting in Perseus...I have seen a few others mentioning a similar problem.
Thanks for replying...I trued with stock kernel also and same issue. I think my next move is to reset and see what happens on stock ROM and kernel.
