So my earpiece has gone.
Not crackly, not distorted, just nothing - silence.
It was fine a couple of days ago and now it's completely dead.
The phone hasn't been dropped (well, tossed on a mattress/duvet when I'm heading to bed but not onto anything hard and from no great height), I haven't tempted fate by submerging it, I've properly nursed this phone and it's still died on me.
The one thing that I did do between it working and today was flash a different ROM.
I'm just wondering whether there's any chance that might've had something to do with it?
I went from '3.4.2 131-003' to '3.4.2-155-2'.
I know it's a long shot but that couldn't possibly be the cause, could it?
Many people have already complained about that problem (just google it!), return the phone (if your warranty isn't void because of the flashing, but i think it only affects software warranty), and they'll get you a new one. As far as I know, the newly produced defys don't have that defect anymore, mine - which I bought a couple of weeks ago - works just fine (fingers crossed!).
I'm aware that it's a known issue, I was asking because it seems that normally the earpiece gets crackly then dies whereas mine has gone from absolutely fine to completely dead in a couple of days with no usage in-between and the fact it happened after I flashed a new ROM seems coincidental to say the least.
As for the warranty, I have flashed ROMs, so fingers crossed.
same problem
I've the same problem.. no crackling, total silence. yesterday it worked perfectly fine, but since today no sound at all.
didn't do anything weird with it; flashed another froyo rom one week ago, but I can hardly imagine it has something to do with it...
I red there were more persons with a earpiece problem, but I couldn't find anyone who's got total silence from one moment to another..
is there info about this issue?
greetz
mine has gone from working to total silent the way mine was crackly was if i blew into it, it would work sometimes but now nothing at all i need to get a replaceable but dnt ave time
The problem is due to a bad connection, so I suppose it is possible it would break cleanly, going from working to silence with no interference/crackling.
I was just hoping I could fix it myself without having to rely on the Motorola warranty lottery
The fix-it-yourself thread is here. It's easily done if you are even mildly practical. I have sourced 2 SE K850i earpieces as a hedge against the future, once I'm out of warranty.
However, I am currently in warranty, so I sent an email regarding my Defy to Motorola as soon as my earpiece started acting-up. I tried to demand a replacement on the grounds that they were offering for sale devices that they knew were defective. Unfortunately, they were adamant that a repair was my only option so I sent my phone to their centre. I followed their advice, backing up, removing SIM and SD card, performing factory wipe from within Settings/Location & Security, and only sending the phone.
My phone had a custom ROM with the "android" text boot-loader so it was obviously not stock but there have been no complaints from them and I'm able to track my phone through their system. It's been repaired and is in "final testing". I'm expecting it back early next week.
Given the perceived "openness" of android, it would be a PR disaster for Motorola to void the hardware warranty on the grounds of software modification.

mmm, i have something to say ... i flashed lots of different roms, two weeks ago i went back to China 0.26, still one of the best in terms of performance BUT, i had some trouble with the earpiece.
The first time it happened i thought "ok my earpiece has gone", it was just silent, people could hear me and i could hear nothing. Surprisingly after a reboot the earpiece was working, then silence again the day after... so on for 3 - 4 times.
Then i flashed the 3.4.2-155 and the problem disapperead. No failure, no silence, after 10 days it still works.
So, could it be the problem was related to that specific rom or software i used?
Btw, did you try to flash back to your previous rom?
I got same issue last week, and my mobile operator change my phone by a new one.
It's a know pb with first MB525 products.
After flashing did-you remove back door and battery to power off/power on you phone ?
I think when we do that, we push on the back of phone and so increase earpiece failure risk.
Thanks, I'd seen that thread before but I'm still well inside my warranty and have no urge to risk voiding it any more than I potentially already have.
I have no qualms about having to send the phone back to Motorola, I just want to be sure it'll be fixed when I do is all.
It's a shame that Motorola don't allow third-parties to fix the handsets - I know an engineer that works for one of the UK high street mobile phone retailers and he says that any earpiece issues, they have to send the phones back to Motorola themselves, they can't even source the necessary parts.
If they could fix it, I wouldn't think twice about the ROM as I know he couldn't care less, he'd get it sorted for me.

Also, since the issue is known to be purely hardware and there are plenty of cases of it afflicting handsets that are entirely stock, they would leave themselves in a very shaky legal situation.
Personally, I think I'd prefer to have my current handset repaired instead of replaced as it seems to be a little gem in terms of battery life.
As for the warranty, I doubt I'll have this phone for more than a year or so.
Part of the reason I chose it was the excellent deal on the T-Mobile contract I'm on meaning that if I get the urge to 'upgrade' early, I won't feel bad about buying a second phone out of my own pocket.

No I haven't.
I only discovered the problem at work this afternoon and started this thread as soon as I got home.
I might give it a go over the weekend but part of me can't really be bothered, I might just send it away.

UK law only gives a customer a limited period after purchasing during which they can demand a replacement, after that a retailer is entitled to try and repair a faulty item if it is reasonable to do so.
Only if repairing the phone is in some way unsuccessful would the customer then be entitled to a replacement.
Sorry to hear that.
Let us know if Moto honor the warranty. It's very unreasonable to void hardware warranty just because of software modification.
My defy earpiece failed after 4 weeks. I had the orange 2.2 on the phone. Sent it to solidvision (they do warranty repair for motorola phones in belgium and netherlands). 3 weeks later they sent me a new phone, under warranty. On other sites I read that motorola doenst make a problem about earpiece issue even when you flashed other firmware.
So I handed my handset in to be sent away for repair on the 21st of March.
On the 18th of April I contacted CPW's repairs department to query where my handset was at 28 days had elapsed. The guy I spoke to raised a £10 voucher on their systems and put some sort of trace on it for me.
And on the 21st I was contacted by the store I'd handed my phone into to say it was back.
When I say 'it was back', it's not the same handset I sent away - it's a 'clearance' replacement handset. Thankfully my mate who works for CPW checked the handset's history on their systems and it's not a refurb, it was sat in a store for a month without being sold, then recalled to the warehouse so they had one to send to me.
I just hope this 'new' handset has as good a battery life as the one they kept...
Hi,
I have a Note 2 N7105 that has random statics when listening via the audio jack. A slight tap usually fixes this but it comes back quite often now. I use a pair of tweezers and have removed some lint that was in there. I read other online threads with the same problem, that's where I got the tapping it idea from. But I have also read that they replace the audio jack and it is still not working!
So I am fairly technical with phones. But ever since I opened my HTC HD2 phone before and shattered the screen (the hot glue was hard to remove) making it redundant, I am a little bit afraid of opening up phones with massive screens. I already have a spare audio jack port that I bought off ebay so I am all ready but just wanted to make sure that it is a fairly easy matter!
I re-flashed a stock 4.4.2 rom back on to my phone but I have the Knox 0x1 flag. But I have only had the phone for about 1 year 8 months (2 years manufacturers guarantee in the UK). Thinking whether I could try positing it to Samsung anyway, worse thing that will happen is they send it back? But it's not really a software related issue. Besides, the UK has the Sales of Goods Act consumer rights that overrules warranties, where devices should last up to 6 years, and this phone cost £500+ when it was released and it's barely been 2 years. Wonder if I could use this? However, I tried contacting Samsung before a few months ago twice about my audio port not working, and they refuse to fix it because of "wear and tear" and it's not a manufacturer defect. What a joke. But it turns out that the audio port was working and it was my earphones that stopped working haha.
I tried to go back to my carrier (EE UK) where I pay monthly but they told me to go to the Samsung website and get them to fix it.
I am not sure what my best option is. I've only just got a Note 3 so I simply want to get the audio port fixed to sell on.
Thank you for reading and I hope someone can tell me what the best option is and offer any advice. Cheers
Perhaps you can check with your bank ?
Sometimes they let you take out phone insurance for free if you have a bank/current account with them.
I know Halifax n Barclays do........

Thanks. But I don't take up on those insurance offers, just couldn't justify it . Now my choice is either to change it myself or try return it for warranty (although Samsung are a bit picky...).. Do you think EE should accept responsibility and do it for me? Just wondering whether anyone has had experience in opening the note 2 and replacing the audioport. If it's fairly easy with not much that can go wrong, I might give it a go.
Dear Forum Members,
I don't know what to do anymore. I am at your mercy. Tried everything I can. Can't seem to solve it myself.
I bought me Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 1 1/2 years ago and was extremely happy with it. Everything worked like a dream. I rooted it after a few weeks because I wanted to get a network going. No problems at all. A few days ago I turned it on and I didn't have any Wifi and Bluetooth was also not turned on. I don't use Bluetooth but it was on at default. I tried working with my router, modem, you name it, it wasn't my connection, so then I tried the tablet itself. Some people said it was SideSync, so I removed that, didn't do anything. I was still using android 4.4.2 so I installed 5.0.2 unrooted and that didn't do anything. After that I wiped everything and went to factory default, no difference. In the end, I looked everywhere, even removed the back panel to see if a connection was loose but everything looks fine. I did another clean install from a firmware installed from the Samsung website to make sure and still, same problem.
I rooted the device, so my warranty is gone.
I don't know what to do now. I use the tablet a lot but mostly online but can't anymore.
I would be very grateful if someone could help. This tablet means a lot to me. My little Sammy :crying:
Nobody?
Edit: Have tried starting in safe mode and nothing changes.
It did work one morning for like half an hour for some reason. Very strange. Then it stopped working again. It does now sometimes show some networks in the area and bluetooth does work sometimes but it wifi and bluetooth disconnects immediately if you connect.
I was in the same situation as you. I ended up sending my device into Samsung for warranty repair. I sent out it last week, and I received it back Tuesday afternoon. Crazy thing was, when they sent it back, there was no paperwork in the box. *Yikes*

Thanks for sharing your experience, did it in the end get repaired?
Here is what happened with my device.
I contacted the shop and they wanted to send it to a verified repair shop and that I might need to pay money because I rooted my device. In the European constitution it says that if it is not caused by rooting, they can't void the warranty, so I mentioned that and they said it was true but the repair shop was the one who should make sure what the problem is, not them. But I found it a bit fishy so I searched on Twitter for a Samsung account and contacted a very nice woman on there. I asked here about my problem, said what the shop was going to do, she asked what the repair shop's name was and verified it was a good one. She even helped with some tests to see if some things wouldn't solve the problem. Asked her about the warranty and she told me about the European constitution law and that if it wasn't caused by a software problem, it shouldn't cost me anything.
The shop I was talking with saw me talking with them and I think they freaked out a bit. They sent me and the woman from Samsung a message what I wanted to do and I wanted to send it in for repair. I did this and a week later I got it back at no cost and the motherboard was busted. I did get paperwork with my package. Even got my original box back with it and my original cord. Even got a new USB cord for the trouble.
My Sammy is working like a charm again and I love it to bits! Samsung has greet service on Twitter and the repair service is also great!:good:

Oops.... I forgot to mention it... but yes my device was repaired. It had root going to the shop and they didn't say anything about it being rooted. I am just not exactly sure of what they fixed so I think I am going to call in tonight and see what they did to resolve the issue.
So far, so good with it.
Here's what I hate though.... there's 1000s of folks all experiencing this very same problem as what we were experiencing. My warranty is up in just a few days because i didn't purchase an extended warranty from the place I purchased it from (BestBuy). I don't even know how long the warranty is on whatever repairs that they did. *Yikes*
BUT, I am glad you were able to get your issue resolved as well. That's awesome!
I think it's a design flaw in the first few models. Most devices these days have problems at the beginning when they come out. Dare I mention the XBOX360 that was a problem for it's entire run. I had the luck of only having to repair one but I have known people who had to send in multiple or buy multiple new ones. I probably sound like a grandpa at 28 years old but they don't make things like they used to. They test things in the field on paying customers and that is horrible. Same even counts for pharmaceutical products, it's horrible. But people buy and if demand keeps asking, they keep pumping stuff out. It's not about making a product to be proud about, it's about money, and making money as fast as possible. It's understandable to a degree, but the extremes most companies go to is just ridiculous and the people they hurt with it is even worse. But the market is also way to competitive to not do those things. They would go bankrupt in a year or less if they would do it in a fair and honest way. The world isn't fair and honest. It's a bitter view on the world and the market but these wonderful devices get made in horrible conditions by people that get payed horrible wages commanded by people that get payed incredible wages. In the end, there have to be people that are on the losing side and that are often customers and laborers. And normal people can't win from a big company, whatever they do.
Sorry for the rant. I feel very strongly about injustice in jobs and the unfairness in the world. I really wish we could go back to a time where people are proud of the things they make and sell and everyone would profit from it in some way.
What I have noticed ever since my tablet returned is that my battery is lasting much longer. Maybe it's the new motherboard or they put in a new battery pack. Have you noticed this as well after the repair?
For a long time now I have been in love with my 1+3, but a few months back I noticed that I can barely hear anything in the handset earpiece. This wasn't such a huge problem for me because I mostly use my BT headset so I lived with it. I rely heavily on my phone in day to day work so I was reluctant to submit it to an RMA which would involve several days without a phone. Fast forward a few months and my phone started having random shutdowns and it would remain blocked like that unless I held the power button for extended times (20s+) several times, occasionally the screen backlight would flash. Couldn't even boot into fastboot with vol+power, basically every time I found my phone not responsive I would have to pray that it will turn back on. I tried all the software solutions I could, roll back to stock rom, stock kernel, update radio/modem but the problem still appeared. This was the point where I decided to contact oneplus customer support for an RMA.
It is a disaster, basically you can see why they can sell you cheap phones, well cheaper, they skim on support.
I tried to directly request an RMA and not go through the remote support since I already tried all the flashing they would guide me through but that wasn't an option so I had a remote session scheduled. On the day of the remote session after waiting half an hour without any reaction from them I was already nervous and decided to go on with my day, after another half an hour they contacted me telling me that they are ready. When I told them it wasn't the scheduled time already they came up with the defense that based on their system this is the right time, that did not comfort me at all but at least they agreed to the RMA. (All the scheduling was done in my local time zone, their idea, so it was probably them having no idea about time conversion)
So the phone went into their service, ARVATO, in Czech and spent a weekend and about a day there, there were to reported problems with the phone, one the earpiece, which I imagined is an easily diagnosed and fixed issue and the problem with the random shutdowns that happens occasionally and without me being able to actually find out why it happens. In the support ticket they kept assuring me that they will do a "full inspection" and fix all outstanding issues.
Imagine my surprise when I got a message from DHL that my package will be delivered the next day, I was really surprised as I have received no notifications from 1+ or arvato they just sent the phone back. So I get the phone in hand, nothing seems to be changed so I try to call one of my colleagues at work to test the earpiece...
Surprise surprise, it still doesn't work.
Now I had the phone for about 24h, I haven't met the shutdown issue, YET, but I can guess that they did nothing in the service to try and diagnose the problem if the "full inspection" missed the faulty earpiece.
Checking on the service protocol, what they did to the phone is: Legacy data deleted Functional test conducted Settings set Software update conducted Which pretty much sounds like software only...how nice, right?
When I asked 1+ what happened, why wasn't my phone fixed they gave me a generic response about how sorry they are and that I can send the phone back with another RMA -.-, how nice of them.
At this point I am not sure I wan't anything more to do with 1+, the phones are good but if you can't have a reliable solution for problems, it's pretty much not worth the money you save.
Did you have similar pleasant experiences with 1+ RMA?

Atleast be thankful that you got your phone back, that too in a better condition than when it was sent in.
There was one person here on XDA complaining about his phone being sent to a different country and for about a month atleast, OP was trying to trace the phone. No idea whether he got it back.
Literally sent my 1+3 back today due to earpiece being almost inaudibly quiet.
This doesn't bode well.
My RMA for replacement screen took 6 weeks.
They failed to update the RMA status and their support were incredibly slow.
I did, however, get a perfect working phone back with TGSP
I had to move on to a htc 10. The one plus 3 I bought was used but in absolutely amazing shape. But the ear speaker didn't work and when I tried to make calls I couldnt do it unless I had bt headphones. And when I hung up without bt headphones the phones would freeze and restart. Also the microphone wouldn't work to. I couldn't do a warranty return, so I took it apart and replaced what I could, didn't fix a thing. So I just bought the htc
I had RMA'd my OP3 for the faint earpiece issue. It took a week or two going back and forth for them to issue the RMA. After that, it took about about a week and half for a complete round trip. I was pleasantly surprise they sent to back with a screen protector on and a extra case. I believe it was sent to an Acer service center in Texas.
Support isnt actually bad in my opinion. There are brands such as Motorola / Lenovo who are unreachable regarding RMA and such. Then Samsung who charges €350 just for a screen replacement. I agree that something went wrong and such but this happends everywhere.
So now that Oreo has been out for some time and there is still no fix insight for BT issues on nearly half of productions cars today. As a consumer, what can one do? I mean my phone is basically a paper weight inside a car, its against the law to use it without BT, and it basically creates a hazard situation when it randomly stops working while driving. In a few weeks I am headed to a trip where I'll be driving for many hours daily for over 1 week. I obviously need a functional BT since I use it for directions and calls.
I understand bugs happen, but as far as I know this bug is 4 month old since first release of DP......knowing Goggles attitude not giving a fck, this could last months as it did on 7.1
Isnt this reasonable, if device is under warranty manufacture must either replace it or provide a full refund? Thats how it worked with every since piece of electronics I have ever returned under warranty
i expect there will be a few replies here with the various other threads already on this subject but i will say that my Oreo and my Ram truck with Uconnect has only one issue and that is the song information for things like Pandora dont update and generally stay on the initial song played.
other that issue i make and receive calls and text via the stereo with no issues. maybe its varies with other car makers product but with Uconnect it works as expected.
i also assume you have tried having both products for the device and re-pair?

No issues here currently
Metadata does not update is one of my issues too. I noticed that there are many random issues. Sometimes it works 100%, other times it doesn't connect at all or disconnects while driving
Most modern cars have problems. I know it doesn't work on all BMWs , then I saw many repotting the same on Audis, VWs, Hondas, and Toyotas. All reported cars are like 2013-1014 and up
Repairing doesn't fix anything
Major hardware issue with Google Pixel...stop wasting time resetting phone.
Hi,
Google Pixel phone has serious Bluetooth incompatibility issue and the company keeps saying as long as it can connect to at least one device it is not their problem. After six months of struggling of factory resets and replacement under warranty the support team did acknowledge to me that it is a major hardware problem that it cannot communicate with other devices, especially car audio system. Nothing can be done whatsoever to fix the matter.
As part of industry standard it is common practice for Bluetooth connection to not have an issue, especially for a smartphone costing $700 plus. As a standard operating procedure, a hardware compatibility problem should have been checked before selling such defective phones. I wonder what is it that they check as part of quality assurance from Google brand.
I had been using three generations of iPhones before, a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge with my 2013 BMW 528i before switching this poorly made device. Often times, rather each time I reached out to the Project Fi support, every team member asked me to go get the car upgraded. I have had my car inspected under the four year free warranty, however now it would cost me hundreds of dollars to get another diagnosis. I recently tested iPhone 6 with iOS 11 and also iPhone 7 from a friend. This same friend told me that cars are specifically made to be compatible with iPhones on purpose or the car OS is tested for iPhones alone. That does not sound logical to me, since my car is four years old and the other newer phones can talk to it without a flaw.
It shows clearly that Google is not interested in the phone business when there are so many users complaining about one of this fundamental features of what is expected from an advanced smartphone.
I request your help in getting this word out so users stop buying a substandard device based on brand name.
