[Q] Speakers not working on DHD

Hello there,
Since a few weeks ago my speakers stopped working, and unless I plug in the earpiece I can't listen to videos, music, or even calls. I tried tons of different ROMS and the problem persists. In some ROMS the notification displaying that my earpiece is plugged in shows up, when they are not.
Any solution to this? Thanks!

Hey
Is there water damage to the phone? Any drops, knocks or such? Have to cleaned the grill?

Had the same problem last year, did some research on the net and found out that i onky had to give the back a hard push which fixed my problem

Ok, this is weird.
I've been really testing and paying attention to the problem, and the speakers actually kinda work. When I raise the volume, I can hear the beeps, also notification sound is working. WHat it doesn't work is the media volume (unless I use earpiece): videos, music, games etc
And also I cant hear the incoming calls and the people calling, unless I plug the earpiece or I put it on speaker mode.
I don't seem to find any solution, I hope somebody can help me

I have exactly the same frustrating problem. I can only speak with speaker on or with earbuds.

[Q] Bad ear speaker?

When I put the volume on max and 2 levels below max I hear a buzz after every word when someone calls me.
I don't think this is normal? Do more people facing this buzz? If not, I will return the device!
Thanks

Ok. It is nog a very hard buzz. But it sounds like a part is vibrating because of the high volume. Maybe my speaker is not placed right.
I will send the phone back for repair

Mine doesn't either - Doesn't sound right if you'll excuse the pun !

I have the same issue, on high volume in the earpiece you can hear this buzz nose that sounds like there is a small object in the speaker that jumps on the membrane.
don't have a solution yet, did not buy it in my country so it will not be easy to replace my unit.

Ok I actually found a post on the net, that sounded crazy at first but I tried it anyway and it actually helped!!! :laugh:
Just thought I would post this as a reference for anybody that is experiencing the "crackling" noise in your ear speaker. My ear speaker recently started crackling very bad and it was hard to hear the person I was on the phone with. Even with the volume turned down about half way, I could still hear a little crackling sound but could barely hear the other person. I thought I had blown the speaker and was about to order a replacement online, when I decided to do some searching. I found the solution. It may sound crazy and a little weird, but it worked for me. To fix the crackling noise, put your mouth on the ear speaker and blown in and suck out. After I did this my speaker worked like normal again. I guess the vacuum and pressure moves the speaker cone and gets it straightened out.

I'll try that! I got mine back from the repair center and all they did was a SOFTWARE UPDATE. OMG stupid people over there...
Hope blowing helps If not, I'll try to get a replacement via htc

Well, I noticed the same on other handsets in the store. They seem to suffer from the same issue. Hmm, gotta get adjusted to it..

[Q] Note 4 - Camera buzzing

Camera now buzzes like a mosquito and has problems focusing, particularly in low or well lit areas. Do I need to replace the camera hardware itself or is there something I can do to fix? A hard reset & clearing caches did not help.

Mine did this twice, I had too many programs open once and second time I received a call during video recording of newborn meets sister for first time very disturbing to find out after the recording the sound was messed up. At least the video was ok on the baby shot. But the previous the video was shaking also.
Are you OK on memory? You have

Yes, I am good on memory. I agree that the sound is terrible when it does this...Do you still experience this?

Finally, I thought I was the only one. Usually when it starts buzzing I smack it a bit to stop and then I can focus. It's gotten worse and worse though. I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue

No but I did hear the mic making funky buzzing sounds last week and now I'm having battery issues. I'm thinking I may flash my twrp backup file. I need to back up phone first.

I don't think its hardware but it may if you smack it around.

I've seen many posts about this around the internet and from what I've read it does seem to be faulty hardware. Not faulty enough that it will cause an issue, but enough that it creates this annoying sound. I've had this buzzing/whirring/mosquito sound (that I can actually feel, holding the phone near the camera) for about 6 months now. I haven't had any issues running any software though. The biggest culprit is using snapchat for me. It happens almost 100% of the time.

I read on some forum(can't remember which at the moment) that if you place a strong magnet by the camera while it's buzzing, the sound should cease. It's not a permanent fix but it's something.

Interesting...
I have deeply considered replacing the camera itself...especially now that the Note 7 is done. I just don't want the hassle of taking this apart.

[Q & A] Hardware problem or not?

My OP3 started to have a problem like ~2 months ago with a very very low incall volume. For a while, the fix low incall volume zips found here on xda boosted the volume a bit, but the sound was still low and poor quality. After a talk with OP for warranty, which was gone, couldn't send it to them for a repair, so I ordered a replacement speaker earpiece. After I replaced it, I get same problem even on stock OOS or custom ROM. Anyone else encountered this problem, or anyone has another "workout" for this particular problem? Any advice will be highly appreciated!

Try cleaning your ear speaker with a Toothbrush.

I have problems with both
1) too low volume
2) the people I call hearing a loud echo of their own voice.
I actually think it a hardware design error. The ear piece speaker and the noise cancelling microphone are not enough isolated from each other. The sound from the speaker go into the microphone and the problem arises.
My guess is that Oneplus lowered the ear piece max volume to avoid the worst echo problem.
If you want high volume again this zip (OOS version) actually work for me (on SultanXDAs Lineage rom):

Hi buddy sorry if you've already tried this option but if I was you I'd back up everything you need and download stock ROM then wipe system , data , internal storage , cache and dalvik cache and then transfer the ROM you got to your phone and install , the reason I recommend wiping your whole device and starting from scratch is because you could of messed up your mixer_paths and other similar files by using sound mods etc viper4android or others , if you try it will you please let me know the outcome by quoting my post , thanks.

Did that like 4 times now. The mixer_path is same as original one... I will try again when I get back from vacation because the problem got back after I assembled entirely the phone (tested it without the back case and the sound was louder, strange). Hopefully I will figure it out somehow...

I did read it, does the earpiece replaces the speaker grill in the front panel of the phone? If not it worth cleaning it.

External speaker problem Moto Z Play XT1635-02

Hey Good Morning! Here from Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1 month ago and very happy with the purchase!
The only strange thing is that when listening to the external front speaker, it is not heard loud (my ex moto x 2013, bend it in volume). Does anyone pass? I already did the procedure to go to the help app and regulate to the maximum the volume test, etc ... And nothing ... Follow volume under ..
