So I'm wondering how many people out there have had issues with the external speaker? This is my second inc that the speaker has blown on. Is this a normal issue? I don't normally use my phone to play music unless it has a aux cable or headphones in.
Kinda lame considering I finally decides to s-off a few weeks ago. Finally got everything set up the way I like it and of course now I have to revert everything back to stock. I don't think it would get past Verizon if the bootsplash has a Android pissing on a Apple
I'm on my second one already. So far so good.
Inc 3. month 2
How do you guys keep going through speakers? What are you playing through them that is causing them to break? Is it music with extreme bass or something?
I've had my incredible for 3 months and had no issues what so ever.
Kinda
Inc 3, month 3. 2nd one arrived with a blown speaker and was the reason why I am on Inc 3.
i went through three of them. on the third i never turned volume past half way. still blew.
Ordered 5 replacement speakers. already On the 1 replacement speaker so far. Yea it voided my warranty but takes like 5 mins to change out. And I don't do well with refurb stuff.

Ive been thinking about buying a replacement speaker also. Is it a simple slide in or is there any special tools needed besides torx? An explanation how to do it yourself would be great.

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!

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 .

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

same problem with me.. it happened suddenly 2 weeks ago after searching/formatting/ changing some tweeks i decided to repair my phone with following available spare parts..
http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Ear-Piece-Ea...ltDomain_0&hash=item3f14a47875#ht_2453wt_1037
if i succeed i will tell you how difficult it was
Is somebody experiencing issues with the external speaker? Everything was normal until suddenly the speaker started to sound like is broken. I am using viper audio and I am not sure if this is making the problem. But, somebody can tell me what can I do?
Actually I realized that my external speaker is damaged (even if I don't know how it happened) in conclusion I decided to buy the the spare part at zandparts. Believe me or not this is a great phone and having a galaxy note 3 too, I prefer this one a thousand of times.
Update***
I replaced the speaker and everything is working fine again

I got scared, because the same thing happened to me and all i had to do was press on the speaker and it worked, on the back press on the mesh and it might work.! hope it helps
My speaker was broken too but it's very easy to replace it and the speaker's price is very low on aliexpress or ebay. I found a how to on ifixit.com
Aha. It seems that i'm not the only one. I replaced the speaker in March in ASUS service center and it breaks again now.
hi all, experiencing same problem with my zenfone 2, sent the device to a local repair shop but they said that problem with the chip on the board.
They changed 2 speakers and same problem, what you guys think ?
The thing is that I could still hear some sound at very high frequency but things such as music or youtube no.
I seem to be replacing the speaker on my zenfone 2 every other week.
It just keeps cra#ping itself and distorts.
Anyone else with this problem and is there a replacement speaker that will last.
The original speaker lasted about 3 months and I got 10 from aliexpress and they last about 2 weeks
My original speaker lasted 2 months. Currently I don't have sound. Waiting for ali express package...
I replaced my first speaker from Service Center 2 months ago . And now i am gonna replace my 2nd speaker after 4 days , because currently they don't have extra speakers left with them . And they said that many users are coming here with same speaker problem . They told me that Zenfone 2's motherboard is not manufactured properly .
Had same problem.. Replaced my Mobile speaker 2 times
Mine just started distorting. Is there a How-to somewhere on how to replace it?

Don`t know if it`s the motherboard.
If you push the side of the speaker down with a pen it stops distorting, so I`d say it`s a crappy designed speaker
Looking for feedback from people that have had to mail out their Razer phone for warranty work. How long did it take to get it back?
I'm thinking about mailing mine off vs trying to fix it myself.
The issue I'm having is my speakers are crackling, even post "audio update" that reduced volume by around 30%. I can't get above 3\4 volume without having the speakers start crackling. What's strange is the crackle seems to be worse when orienting the phone to the side vs upright.
Both of them are doing it. Not sure if they are just dirty or they are blown, but when I first got my phone I would play most things at full volume often. I thought about pulling the speaker grills off since I read that sometimes the adheasive loosens and things vibrate but I wasn't sure how I was going to re stick them back down. Can't find replacement grills anywhere. Or replacement speakers for that matter. So I was going to send it in.

11 days round trip to Germany from UK ended up with factory replacement
The first time i sent my phone there it took 4 days to come back but the second time it took around 10 days. I asked why and they said "limited supplies" now i had sent 2 phones and both had speaker problems. The first was a heavily cracking bottom speaker after 3 weeks of use. The second one was both speakers weakening but not cracking and the third one has the same problem which is weird given that they advertized the speakers as good. Hopefully they fix this because i wanna buy razer phone 2
