My loudspeaker doesn't work - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I was on the official last rom and the loudspeaker doesn't work, ok, i change to the Pixel Experience and the loudspeaker doesn't work too, so, i can't be the rom, so i bought a new loudspeaker but it doesn't work too, i don't have idea what it can be, if i put the tweak of use the both speaker only works the ear speaker.
I already clean the contacts from the loudspeaker and is the same, doesn't work.

I have the same issue. Have tried every possible ROM and still does not work. Gave the phone to LG and they quoted a motherboard replacement.
After a lot of research and experimenting I found out it is stuck on headphone mode.
To fix this I use XOverideHeadphoneJack via xposed and it solves all the problems.
Hope it helps
Thank You

[Q] Mic issue =(

Hello, i wonder if i am the only one with this issue..
When i started using my one X (quadcore version) all seemed to work fine, then i received and installed 2 new updates from htc and my internal microphone stopped working in calls and with any app i tried.
I havent rooted or installed any custom roms. I tried the hard reset, and still nothing. It seems that the updates have problems with the internal mic, because with headphones works fine.
Any ideas?
Im trying to find how to downgrade my firmware to see if it helps.
Thanks in advance.

I need to clarify the problem, because headphones are for getting sound out of the phone, and mic is for getting sound into the phone, so I'm not sure why you mentioned headphones.
Also, you can't downgrade the software without unlocking.
Check the microphone hole at the bottom of your phone. Might be clogged with something. I had the same issue with my incredible s. Mic had suddenly stopped working. Found out that I had peanut butter stuck in the microphone hole on the cover

Earhones not working for calls.

Hello, XDA forum. I come because I have not been able to solve this problem with the information I've found on this forum. Usually my problems a 're solved by searching the forum. But this time I had to make a post with my problem in hopes of getting it solved.
I have a problem where my earphones work fine for music and OS sounds but not for calls. I've tried my own skull candy earphones and the Samsung earphones provided with the phone. I try to make a call with the earphones plugged in and I get no sound at all. I have to unplug and replug them in after the call has started for me to be able to hear the call through my earphones. Else it plays through phone's earpiece even with earphones plugged in ( if I have not replugged them in). Same thing for receiving calls.
I've tried restoring to factory settings and flashing a new Rom but doesn't help.
Why help is appreciated. Thbank you.
is your phone fully stock(no root or anything)? if so, i'd ask for an exchange, sounds like it may be a hardware issue.
Actually, I am rooted. I remember being able to use my earphones for calls before I rooted. Then I switched to Free GS3 Rom linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748818
I searched that thread and found two people with the same problem but no replies. The thread moves along too quickly I guess. I'm starting to think there's something in that Rom that causes it. But I restored and flashed another Rom and it's the same. I'm planning on posting a solution in that thread if I find one.
Thanks for your reply, though. I'm really trying to get this fixed.

Mic volume issue after EU OTA

Hi all,
Quick question, has anyone experienced issues with the microphone while using Skype or Hangouts after the latest (last week's) OTA for Europe?
At first I thought it was bad design on a case I got, but the issue persists even without the case (and there actually is a hole in the plastic for the mic), tried Hangouts to make sure it wasn't just Skype, so I'm thinking it might have to do with the OTA update.
The mic wasn't doing wonders with capturing before, but it appears to be unusable for Skype now unless the tablet is held at the same distance as a phone.
On a relevant note, is anyone aware of any tools that could help adjusting mic gain or disabling the automatic gain control/ noise cancellation features?
ROM is stock LG, rooted.
Me too
Same here with the exact same setup.
I've tried alsamixer but this proves useless until you know witch setting is involved among hundreds of available mixers.
I wonder if an external bluetooh or USB microphone is not a better option.
EiZ
Same issue
I just recently got the G pad and I definitely have a problem with the mic. Is this happening on all the G pads or do you think is a hardware issue on my device?
I tried with Skype and Hangouts and my voice was barely audible on the other end. Just to make sure it was not my internet connection I tried with my old trusty Galaxy S2, no problems there so it is definitely a problem of the G Pad.
I have no screen, warming, yellow lines, light bleeding or any other issue. So, the device is perfect except for the mic, do you think it is worth to take it back to the shop to exchange it for a new one or this will not cure the mic problem?
Any luck tweaking the mic in software btw? Finally, has anybody tried to use a bluetooth headset and microphone with it, is it possible?
Thanks!
I am also having mic issues currently on sw ver v50010a.
it seems very quiet. update is downloading so will see how it compares.
I'm on software ver V50010b and I keep having issues with the microphone.
Don't know what to do... the rest of the tablet is perfect, so I'm afraid to exchange it just for this issue and get a new one with more problems.

I put CM11 Rom on and it now seems to loud so it distorts. Anyone aware of any way of tweaking the Mic settings?

Hi all.
Has anyone found a solution? I have the same problem with micro when using skype. When I use the micro in Dictaphone it works fine so the micro as such is ok.
For the software, I have V50010b. Thanks for your help!

[Q] Bad radio - can't track down the answer

Hi everyone, hope someone can point me in the right direction. Flashed OmniROM on an HTC desire (bravo) and it's working great. Only problem is when making a call, no sound comes out of the earpiece. If I put it on speaker phone it's fine, and apparently when it's not on speakerphone the mic works fine, people can hear me on the other end, but I can't hear a thing. Suspect the radio is the problem here so need advice on which radio to use (especially for internet use too) and how to install it. I have Ext4 bootloader installed too. This is my interim phone after my Samsung Galaxy S2 died completely (will not power up since it died during normal operation), which looks like it would need a JTAG burn to fix, right after I successfully replace the USB board. Anyway, any help appreciated. Thank you.
Can it not be that the earpiece is simply broken?
Does it work for instance over Wi-Fi calling e.g.Skype? Can you get any sound to come out of it?
Was it working before you flashed the ROM? If you backup and flash different ROM or better yet back to stock, does it work?
Just want to do logic tests before concluding it's a radio issue, which I'm not sure it is.
So confirm above before playing about with radios as they carry a but more risk. To flash radios, you need to be S-OFF, and use fastboot commands. Check the md5 sum of the radio.img before flashing because a bad radio flash= proper brick.
There is no recommended radio, though latest one should generally be better. Depends on individual signal quality so different people get different results
Good point. Got around to thinking the same myself. Found a replacement speaker on ebay (local seller) which I ordered (it's cheap). Meanwhile searching the market for a speaker tester.
Desire adr6300 running cooldroid
old thread, but I have a similar but slightly different issue and it doesn't appear to be the radio
Cant hear anyone on call, they can hear me
Works on earphone - can hear caller no probs, they can hear me ok
If i switch to speakerphone during the seemingly silent call, as soon as some noise (voice or otherwise) is picked up from other end, then the speakers start screeching - quickly getting to max volume. Goes silent again if speakerphone option switched off.
Hadn't flashed anything when it started to my knowledge, but had been installing various things. Nothing significant to my recall.
Tried re flashing cooldroid after clearing caches - same
tried installing mildwild - same
reflashed radio (it is the latest and been on ages) - same
Cleared everything except sd data but including ext partition and reflashed coildroid - same.
Oh - audio tracks play fine :/
Help.
Slight update on this.
After trying different roms and reflashing the later radio:
Flashed an older radio on it that i had on it before - same.
Radio_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Radio_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
Seems like mic (others hear me) ok when used normal, but I cant hear them
but some sort of feedback squeal when i put it on speaker voice does come through quietly along with the screeching (no its not the missus), the screeching only starts as soon as some noise is picked up through sending phone
When earphones connected (hence mic and speaker on phone disconnected) - all fine.
So possibly some sort of short in the ear speaker unless someone who knows the hardware better than me can suggest something else
(Do these have noise cancelling mic which is disabled when earphones are connected? - must look that up when I have some time again)
Update
it does seem to be simply a failed ear speaker
Update
Got around to replacing the ear speaker (less than £2 delivered from ebay)
SORTED
dead easy job - 10 minutes to replace and all ok now.
No sound through ear speaker now sorted
This is for ear phone - but shows how easy it is
Speaker is just under the top board - no cable just prongs and stickied in place.

Note 2 GT N7100 Mic Problem

Hey everyone. My note 2 gas given me many troubles, first the chip EMMC failed. I created a thread explaining the situation. Bootloop, recovery failed, etc. So I bought a phone that had a broken screen. I replaced the motherboard and everything was going fine but cellular signal was failing, I gave it back to the owner. (I also created a thread about it).
Now, I bought another phone with the broken screen. So I replaced the motherboard one more time. Everything works ok, cellular signal, wifi, camera (both front and back camera), wifi, speakers, etc. But I have a trouble with the microphone. When I'm on a phone call I can hear people but people can't hear me, unless I use the speaker then they can hear me. I suppose that the mic from the top of the phone is the one that is working when the speaker is turned on.
I've done some reading, and there are many solutions, cleaning the mic, factory reset, installing other ROM,etc. The mic isn't the problem. I tried the mic of my note 2 and the other mic too. The problem is present with both mics. (Both phones are the same variant by the way, GT N7100 international version).
The phone is on 4.1.2 Jellybean, I'm thinking on update to 4.3 first via Odin, if problem is still not solve then upgrade to 4.4 kit Kat via Odin as well. If problem persist, then flash a recovery via Odin and then install a custom ROM 5.1.1 and if the mic problem still not solved then flash a 6.0.1 custom ROM.
I don't know what else I should do concerning this issue. Any advices? Or solutions? Has anyone had this very same issue?
The mic doesn't work at all, I tried video recording and the only mic that works is the top one, not the bottom one. Voice recording doesn't work as well. Headphones does work. If I unplugged the headphones while having a phonecall the bottom mic still isn't working.
Hope you could give any advice or solutions! Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my English skills.
Did you try moving the swapping out the USB fix cable between both phones?
I doubt that it's a software problem because I have not come across a situation where a mic does not work on a particular stock rom.

Yes I did. Problem still there. I also did a factory reset. I'm thinking that at least one of those mics are working OK. I mean, it would be really really bad luck having the 2 microphone malfunctioning. My microphone was working fine before the EMMC chip crashed. After I replaced with other motherboard with no cellular signal it was working fine as well. This motherboard tho everything is working fine but both microphones.
Yes, that is weird. Maybe you need a new mic? That might be the cheapest solution.
