Phone Speaker Issues after Flashing Stock ROM - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the dreaded bootloop issue a while back and had to send my phone to LG for repair. After I got the phone back (damaged from them opening it); the phone would crash once a day. It would be a hard crash too, nothing including the power button and volume buttons would work. I would need to hold down power+volume for 10 sec. to do a hard reboot.
I decided to reinstall the factory operating system that I downloaded from Google . Ever since the then the volume coming through the main phone speaker is very quiet during phone calls. I have to mash the phone against my head and plug the other ear to hear anything. I can't find a good answer to what might have happened. And I don't think it would be a hardware issue since it started immediately after flashing the stock ROM. I've flashed it twice now and it still has the same issue.
I just used the "flash-all.bat" command to do it. Could there be an issue with the radio.img file or something else I'm missing entirely?
Side Note - I had to pay LG to fix it because they said it wasn't under warranty. Even after the customer service guy told me that they would fix it for free when I talked to them on the phone. It took them about 4 months to send my money back.

Speaker-Mode since repair

I finally got my desire back from repair. Since then all my calls are on speaker at the backside of the phone and i need to push the button to get it to the "normal phone speaker"
this happens if I call someone and if someone calls me
How do i get it back to "normal"?
Try pulling the battery for a few seconds.
If this doesn't work do a hard reset.
You can also phone htc and tell them that you have this problem since the repair and ask them what should you do.
There are two other threads like yours, but they're without some definite fix.

I had to factory-reset it again now it works
But weird anywasys. I reinstalled all apps and i did not get that isse again

[Q] Hardware or software ???

I've already received a new phone from my insurance but I am still questioning if I could have saved the hundo.
Situation: Dropped my phone directly on the power button. Put my phone back together, phone rebooted and I'm good to go. Pushed the power button later on that day and nothing. Power button worked sometimes that day and very few the next. I didn't really put to much thought into this at the time being as I have never come across any problems with this phone that I couldn't fix with my PC. ( I'll fix it later kind of thing ). Later came and now my power button doesn't do a thing. My phone does reboot occasionally thanks to one of marcusants older ROM's. Ok, I caught the reboot and set timeout to 10 minutes and touch it or use it often. Sprint store wants to " diagnose " my problem. The fkn power button is broke. I'm a moron, shouldn't have root my phone but I've been getting free Internet at my house ever since I did. I left the sprint store without the complimentary diagnosis so my account doesn't have any red flags. ( what exactly would they do to my account ). Put phone under my truck tire and called Asurion, billed the deductible to my companies plan and that was that.
Left wondering: Could I have fixed the power button easily? Was it even the power button that was broke? Would sprint really look into my phones software, and made problems for me? Is there any way to access my phones recovery or download mode without the power button.

most roms had the boot to recovery if not depending on which recovery you had 5.0 had rom manager support you can boot to recovery with that.

reboots and corrupt display -intermittent

Ok, just want to know if anyone has any experience with any of these tabs exhibiting this behavior. I bought my wife a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (SM-T310) WiFi only. Soon as I got it I updated it to the latest factory version (4.4.2 I believe). Then when rebooting I noticed it would just keep going through the initial boot logo, black, and then the boot logo again. So I presed the power button 10 seconds then it booted fine. When using the unit sometimes it would randomly reboot. SEEMS like when turning the unit back on from sleep mode often. I did a factory reset on it via the settings the first time, but same problem. I did a second factory reset this time via the recovery menu, first wiping the cache partition then factory reset. I THOUGHT I figured it out that it was just the power button getting stuck because I was able to reproduce that behavior if I held in the power button when I though I just pressed it briefly normally. So I thought OK, this is ok I don't have to send it in for repair because it's just that the power button gets stuck sometimes. But then another issue appears. The display will get all lines in it without being able to read ANYTHING at all. Like there's a problem with the LVDS connection to it. I bought this from Newegg refurbished, but kept it away for over 30 days and gave it to my wife on her birthday. Now I'm going to try to send it in for repair/exchange via the 90 day refurbished product company support to some other company (http://www.consumerservicerefurbish.com/) but I was just wondering if anyone could chime in. I search here and google but couldn't find any mention of a corrupt display issue like the one that popped up last night. Really weird.
Mine from NewEgg works great. Definitely send it back. It has a hardware issue.

G4 Bootloop

Hi Guys,
i am really confused and a little bit angry. The Following happened to me today:
My Phone (Unrooted, Locked BL) was behaving weird this morning.
It just randomly crashed and wouldn't boot up.
Eventually i got it to boot once or twice, but still it crashed, shut down and Bootloop.
A Reqular Factory Reset did nothing. now i'm trying to install the Regular KDZ-File for the H815, but things are just not working as expected.
Has anyone else had this problem before?
Is it normal that the LG Flash Tool is on 1% for over 5 Minutes and nothing changes on the Phone screen?
I want to know what has broken my phone so bad, cause this time, I just used it the way it was supposed to be used, no hard drops, no rooting, no changing of software in any means.
First LG Phone and it broke with no warning and no explenation. I'm a little disappointed right now.

The same happened to mine. Are you able to get to download mode by powering off your phone and plugging it into your computer? Im able to flash stock ROMs but nothing helps. The phone reboots by itself at random times and makes it into the operating system a few times but is never usable.

Hey,
yes i can get into download mode.
I am able to flash files, but the phone wont boot up anymore.
I just want to save my data, but i guess i wont be able to do so.
So i have to get to the store and get a new g4
Luckily i made a backup of my two weeks ago, so not much will be lost.
I also send an email to the LG customer Service, will post their reply here too.
I am really disappointed by LG at this point, i usually had motorola phones and they didn't have random errors like this one.
I switched to LG, cause G4 sounded awesome, but this error is making me sad.
I am really thinking that i won't buy another LG Product, which is making me sad too, cause usually most things made by them are great.

//==============First Request by me:======================
Hello dear LG-Service Team,
i just bought the premium product LG-G4.
Since some days, the Phone is beginning to hang and reboot, resulting in a bootloop.
Sometimes the phone boots, than optimizing Android for about 30 minutes (100+ Apps installed). After this happened, i kann use it again, but not fully.
To shortcut eventual questions:
The Phone is in factory State, no Custom Rom installed. The bootloader is locked and the Phone has not been rooted.
The mistake seems to come from your firmware.
I am really disappointed, because i paid a lot of money and no have a product which is barely usable.
I switched to LG because of the G4 and i don't want to regret this decision.
Kind regards
<<Esok>>

Email and response, translated by me, so there might be some mistakes...
I don't like the response, it feels like not being taken seriously.
Well, nevertheless, i will go to the retailer and will see what happens.
I will keep you updated.
What do you think of this response?
Greetz Esok
That response is terrible lol. I called in and they said they do not support my phone because it is an international version. So there was nothing they could do for me.
I have a similiar issue, but mine was due to a OTA update, and I didn't know about the download mode until now.
Thanks.
Any tips when I can get into the download mode? I just wanna recover my personal data (images, and texts)? Flashing STOCK image would preserve the personal data right?
While your phone is off, plug it into your computer while holding volume up. If you are using LG flash tool to flash a .KDZ firmware file, you will come across an option that says Normal flash or CSE Flash. Normal flash will not wipe data, while CSE Flash will. I have flashed stock images and it didn't work. Hopefully it works for you though.

+1 I'm in same boat and exact same issue with my H815. I love the device but this is unacceptable.
I'm having the same problem, it just happened to me all of a sudden and now I can't even get to the boot animation. I've been able to get into recovery 2 or 3 times but usually it just restarts before it even gets there. I recently updated to the newest xposed framework (though I've restarted just fine a few times after I installed it), did anyone else here do the same?
When I get home from work I'm going to keep attempting to fix it, I've flashed my current TOT but it failed after rebooting. I don't know if I'm having the same problem as everyone else but I'll update if I can find a solution.
same issue here on the at&t 810. Starting about 3 days ago I started getting random reboots + bootloops. Sometimes it would boot to the LG logo and stick, sometimes to the AT&T logo and stick, sometimes to the OS and freeze after the lock screen appeared. I can get into the OS and use it for awhile, then it will restart and it all begins again. 2 factory resets so far and no dice. I am rooted on 10e but have a warranty device on the way which undoubtedly will be on a higher firmware and will likely miss out on the potential coming bootloader unlock. At this point I am probably going to sell on craigslist and get a 6p. The phone is great when it works and I love the size, the looks, and the screen, but the lag and these reboots are unacceptable.
Just a short update by me:
I gave it to the retailer, they said it would take about 10 Days.
I hope this stuff won't happen again or this was the last time i am buying a LG Product.
I think i would have been better off by sending it directly to LG but nevertheless, maybe giving it to the retailer will make my warranty stay longer
I will keep you updated, including firmware Version the phone has after sending it in and so on.
All of the sudden my phone today just froze leaving me with a black background and no animations, the phone is very hot if I try to use it on that moment. Even when I reboot the phone stays very very slow and says system it's no responding.
What can I do? Even when a Reboot it some times works normal then suddenly does it again.

Sounds like a heat problem in your case.
What happens if you pull out the battery, wait 10 minutes to let the phone get cold and than reboot?
Well, no luck on my end. I could only even get into recovery one out of every 50 times or so that I tried, and when I managed to I wasn't able to sideload any system software because it wouldn't initialize the driver (my computer recognized the phone just fine, except the ADB portion). Clearing the data did nothing either. Luckily I'm on Sprint and the phone's being recalled anyway, so I just walked in and they swapped it no questions asked. At least after flashing a TOT and clearing the data they shouldn't have an easy way to tell I was rooted or anything.

Thanks for replying, I completely restored phone today and was a success. No more black background.
same random rebooting issue here as well. and I just bought this phone brand new from a 3rd party :/
Update: I seem to have gotten past the problems after updating to 10n. Now running stock debloated 10n rom with no reboot issues (so far)
Update 2: Had 1 - 2 cycle bootloop on 10n

I don't see how you giving your phone to your retailer will extend your warranty. That makes absolutely no sense, since your warranty begins from your date of purchase.
My phone also ended up with the bootloop and having to exchange with a new unit. I'm on the TMO Variant H811.

Actually German Law is a little bit different.
Regular warranty is not what i meant in my post, i meant the "Gewährleistung" its an additional kind of warranty given out by the retailer.
There are some cases in which this "Gewährleistung", which usually lasts for about 2 Years is made longer. Mostly this happens when the retailer would have to send in a product for the third time, they basically give out a new one, which will be treated like a NEW device. So new Warranty, new "Gewährleistung".
I hope this somehow made sense
Today i got my phone back.
They repaired it.
Everything is like it was before, so i am pretty sure they didn't change it.
Firmware Version is 10d.
The Phone is working so far.
Will keep you updated if anything changes.

Question Has anyone experienced this issue with the F3?

Yesterday my Poco F3 crashed out of nowhere while I was just texting someone. Now it's stuck in a bootloop where it's constantly rebooting itself, I can only enter fastboot or recovery for like 2 seconds, after that it reboots again.
I was able to get it on later by holding all buttons, but it quickly crashed again and now holding all buttons doesn't work.
I'm running the latest version (as of now)
Edit: No the bootloader is not unlocked, it's fully unmodified.
Has anyone else had this problem?
It's your phone ok now?If it's still broken,I think it's a motherboard issue or maybe a software bug.Anyways,if you are able to boot into recovery by hording power+vol up,try a data wipe

I've had this issue in the past with Samsung phones. The root cause for those was a jammed power button. I had to give it a vigorous shake/jerk to get it back to normal but it would happen again out of nowhere. Depending on how much you actually press the button, there's a very good chance that it could be the reason.
I had the exact same issue yesterday. I had wiped data from the menu and it was fixed. I don’t know why did that happen out of the blue. If any one knows what issue that is, please let me know.
Happened to me today.
I pressed power button quickly for a while. Then, when rebooted in system, i disabled pin lock fast and reboot in recovery.
Wipe dalvik cache seems resolved the problem to me until now.
I'm in Xiaomi.eu 13.0.7
Sounds like your hardware power button is slightly depressed. Even when you're not touching the button, it reboots every few seconds.
Something different happened to me yesterday. It was clearly the power button. If I touch the power button (like for fingerprint unlock), it would identify as power button pressed. So my phone started bootlooping, but not so frequently. And power menu was showing up more frequently.
What I did to fix it was swipe a soft tissue through the side of the phone (where power and vol buttons are placed).
the exact thing happenend to me yesterday and I don´t know how to fix it. i tried to flash twrp but now my device just reboots to fastboot mode about every 5 seconds and i can´t flash anything that takes longer than that. I would be happy if someone knew how to fix this
If u can open the phone get the power button flex disconnect then try again to see if that fix
Hello, i have had the same issue, did you also noticed color leaking when it enters poco logo? like a color lining on the screen which changes location with every reboot? i have submitted my phone to service center, but they are telling me it's motherboard and asking cost which is more than a phone. i was texting someone too when it happened.

What ?
The Poco F3 costs new actually 300 €.
They ask you for more ?
Try a local repair shop, probably a CPU issue a reballing of the CPU should not cost more than 30 to 40 €..
Everything else is a rip off..

They told me the Motherboard needs to be replaced, which is really expensive, i have said no to them and asked for a return of device, i wonder if Motherboard is faulty, how come it enters fastboot mode? I have tried recovery mode as well, it entered once, i flashed xiaomi eu update over existing and it ended with error, now i have tried to boot into recovery couple of times only but it didn't booted, i sent it to service center. I think i should have tried better with recovery or fastboot mode. Xiaomi service centers all over the world is crap and known to impose different faults even if it's not there. That's why i don't believe them.
I still have my Samsung S7 Edge and from time to time, it turns itself off and you can not restart it if you press the power button.
You can boot it into Odin download mode, but nothing else.
Only if you put in the USB cable to load it, it will boot.
Also strange, I'm saying this because you asked why your device boots into fastboot mode, but nothing else
Devices are sometimes very strange and not reasonable the way the work or not.
Hope you get it fixed for reasonable costs.
Good luck buddy .
