Hi guys, I did a search in this Arc forum for In ear Speaker problems and couldn't find anything, so I chose to start a new thread. Just know I DID try to find info for this phone but I only found a few other threads about different phones.
My in-ear speaker does not work in calls. It is extremely quiet, as if the volume is turned all the way down. Thing is, I try turning up the in-call volume during a call and it does nothing. But the weird thing is, I went into the service menu to test the hardware (using the *#*#7378423#*#* trick) and tested the in-ear speaker and it works fine! Loud and clear! But then immediately following that I'll try a call and still will hear practically nothing. Putting the call on speakerphone allows me to hear the other party, as well as putting in a headset, so I am stumped. Tried pulling the battery and have rebooted the phone many times and the problem is still persisting.
AND, on top of ALL of that, the damn thing was working just fine the other day. I switched to this phone last week and have been making calls successfully being able to hear the other party just fine. But suddenly today it's deciding to not work in a call. This is really weird.
Has anyone else had this problem? What else can I try to fix it? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Blah a hard reset fixed it. Feel free to delete this post mods!

I've had a O2 XDA Orbit for about 3 months now without any problems, but it seems to devloped a strange fautl today.
This morning (around 7am) the alarm went off as usual, but come about 10 when I tried to make a phone call the call was placed but I could not hear the other person (and she could not hear me). I checked out the phone and noticed that both volume sliders where set to off, changing them and I still could not get any sound out of the device.
In Settings Sounds & Notifications when I press the play button theres no sound, and trying the built in sound/video/midi results in no sound.
Oddly when someone calls, I changed the ring tone to an mp3 wich will play, but again I cant hear the caller, or they hear me.
I've done a soft reboot, with no help, before I tired a hard reset I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas?
I'm having exactly the same problem. If anyone has any advice regarding this I'd be greatly apperciated!
Hi guys. Untill today i was using my BA without no problem. I use WM 6.5-R5 when someone call me the phone ringing and i can hear the sound coming from the speaker, but when i answer it there is no sound from the speaker. when i try to play an mp3 there is no sound too. when i call someone there is no sound i can not hear the dial tone or the persons voice. the speaker works only when receiving a call and there is only ringing sound. it happens suddenly. it was working very normal untill today. i just flash the rom and there is no change still no sound. what is the problem? does anybody know?
1. check the system volume in the task bar, maybe the right bar is up and the left one is down, that would cause that the only sound you can hear is your ringtone, and nothing else
2. if that is the case try putting the left one up, if that works and there is still no sound, check again, maybe it lowered itself, in that case, re-flash your device (occured to me once)
3. if both points aren't applicable, look up the settings for sounds & notifications (very unlikely)
i personally believe it is no. 2, as i had that issue myself just a few weeks ago.
i checked everything about sound but nothing changed, then suddenly it come back to normal :S now there is no problem thanks anyway
I recently noticed I wasn't getting any sound when I play Pandora. Also, my phone stopped ringing, speaker phone doesn't work. The only thing that works is vibrate. I did several hard resets and also wiped the phone from the bootloader. After hard resetting, and before installing any apps or making any changes to the phone, I tried calling myself to see if the speakers work, but they do not. I can make calls, so the earpiece works fine. Any ideas?
Update: Problem solved! I removed the battery 3 times before it eventually worked.
I have an idea!!!
Trying posting in the correct forum. That may yield you better results.
The ear speaker stopped working a few days ago, whenever I make or get a call, no sound whatsoever comes from the phone. I've had the phone for five months, and didn't drop it, so I'm not sure why this occurred. I tried resetting the phone, flashing the RUU, and installed a custom ROM. Nothing worked, so it's most likely a hardware issue. I tried putting the headphones on and off, but it didn't work. The external speaker + headphones are working just fine.
Are there any alternative solutions other than sending it for repair? Also, does anyone know how much would it cost to fix it?
Thanks.
any help please?

Same problem for me, it stated by low volume from the ear speaker during some calls, then i lost the ear speaker sound during the call, even that the ear speaker works with the loudspeaker when i switch to loud, and it gives the sound of the tone while dialing, but no sound in the call. I tried to use other ROMs and radios. but same problem.
Any help please
I got the same issue going on... you figure anything out?
(also i didnt check the date on this thread before posting sorry if this is really old ha)
so heres my problem,i went to sleep and everything was perfectly fine last night, then when i woke up this morning now my nexus doesnt play any media sound (youtube,netflix ect),
nor do i hear anything when i make a phone call ( no ringing, the persons voice.. even when i call my voicemail.. nothing !)
the weird thing is i can hear my notifications, the beep when you use the volume rocker, and the ringtones when i tested them in settings.
ive tried a factory reset and it has not helped.
Can some1 figure out a solution? im going crazy lol

Did you recently use headphones or Bluetooth audio? Although a factory reset should have taken care of that.

ive used the headphones that came with them for a bit yesterday. and ive used it with my bluetooth for some time. but when i did take it off it was still working last night .
and i just did my 2nd factory reset but this time i didnt enter any of my google info to see if it happened to be one of the apps or settings i had backed up. still no voice or media. just the little notifications and things
edit: it did have a single random reboot yesterday during a phone call.
edit#2: the voice calls seem to work once i put it on speaker, but the phone will take it off speaker abt 2 seconds after its turned on
Not in a 2G area are you?
I've had the same issue. I have my sound turned all the way up but no media is being heard through the speakers/headphones/bluetooth speakers, no matter what I change. The sound does still play for notifications though. Any suggestions, or was op able to fix the issue?

To update my original post, the audio will play through my headphones if I plug them in to the audio jack, but not through the phone speakers or through my bluetooth headphones.
I have this same problem, confirmed defective when I took it into the store, they are exchanging it tomorrow.
Wow ok. I didn't want to have to return, was hoping it was a software thing with an easy fix. I think I will also be exchanging this for a new unit as well though. I don't want to take the risk on such an expensive device. It should work perfectly without any hiccups.
If anyone else has any experiences with this please let us know.
Thanks!
I ended up returning and exchanging with a new phone. No issues with the new one
i am having the same issue. no speaker sounds. headphones work just fine. phone call speaker works just fine. BT steaming works just fine.
its just the speaker that doesnt work...if i revert back to stock...will that work?
thanks!
