My brother is running oxygen rom on his ns4g and recently the ear speaker has stopped working. A factory reset, wipes and restoring a nandroid backup the problem still persists. He's going to wipe and try a different rom to see if it continues. Any ideas in the meantime?

I'm sure this thought has crossed your mind, but could be hardware related.

Yes but I was trying to eliminate software first and thought the problem might have been know.

Hardware issue. Id take the phone apart and inspect the speaker and solder points. Prob an easy fix.

It's under warranty so he'll just take it back to sprint. Thanks for the help!

Hey, so I got my nexus s a few days ago and love it, how ever I've been having some problems with it.
Randomly the soft buttons on the phone, mainly the search key stars pressing its self. As in I'm not touching the phone but the button is being pressed.
I'm running cm7, don't really think its a rom thing but any help would be great.

I have the same problem with my Home button. Drives me crazy!

That used to happen to mine too, I found that by booting into recovery and wiping data and wiping cache and dalvik cache fixed that problem.
Give it a try and let me know if it also works for you guys.

Long thread on it at google support. If you have an I9020a, then it's a known "bug". it is associated to the modem and only happens when on 3G

Maybe put it back to stock and exchange it for a new one. Tell them the phone is defective.
Ive flashed the older radio and it seemed to help, do I still have warrenty if I got the phone from the U.S.?

The problem exists I the kb2 modem also though not has bad.
The warranty is not good across the border your will ned to ship it to the US then have it serviced from there. Pointless in my opinion since it is a software problem.

The that worked before i flashed to either Valhalla or Octane was Black Ice Voodoo from Krylon360
here is all i could find
http://androidforums.com/incredible...people-cant-hear-me-without-speakerphone.html
so what this states is that some have success with factory reset, and/or clearing the caches several times. or it could be an app, try simply simple rom.
could be an app, some say problem with head phone jack and suggest to clean "There was an issue with the headphone jack. Take a set of headphones (ear buds) and dip the plug into some alcohol. Slide the plug in and out of the jack several times. Wipe the plug and repeat."
'This happens to me when i unplug the headphones without exiting music player remix first. To fix, I restart the musicplayer, plug them in, exit the program, unplug.
The thread "stuck in headset mode" talks about the other variations of the problem."
or an app, like voice recorder is set on it to automatically turn on speaker phone.
so if still having problems after all this then its a hw problem, so fix go to t-mobile or put speaker phone on all the time by using voice recorder app. you have to look into how to do that. i hope i help some what.

Ok, I don't know if you have a voodoo kernel but I fixed mine by unchecking hi-fi recording in the voodoo control app. I guess it's a bug with voodoo on some kernels.

Anyone having a problem with the sound going out on there phone? I have Val final with kj6 theme from racing.
This morning I woke up and didn't have sound out of my speaker. Even though I heard the alarm. I rebooted and it was fine. Then it did it again. I fixed permissions and all was good then it did it again but this time it was just hooked up to the aux jack working. Since I didn't have sound out of the speaker I put it back on the aux Jack and I had nothing. I hit the lock screen gave it a few seconds and it came back. Any ideas?

Try reflashjng with full data/cache/dalvik wipe and see iif that helps I have never had that problem but I alwats wipe everything. Make sure u backup ur data with titanium backup or whatever u use
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I do that before and after I flash a ROM. I've now flashed 3 different roms with the same problem. I'm thinking its either a hardware problem or I need to Odin a ROM and start fresh. I've only been using cwm at the moment since I can't get my laptop to see my phone.

Try reporting it in the Hellfire Phoenix thread and see what the dev says, I don't think one of those speakers is a mic, that's the way it was on the iPhone, but the mic seems to be just a little hole. Pretty sure those are both speakers.
I don't know though, I'm no expert. When you flashed, did you wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system beforehand? If not you were bound to have problems anyway, try that and reflash, don't restore any of your apps and see if the problem persists, if it does we can go two ways from here. First would be to see if you got a bad download, re download the zip and put it on your SD card, and make sure not to use CWM to transfer files, and also make sure to NVFlash CWM as just flashing it through ROM Manager is not safe.
If all else fails, use a different ROM and report the problem to the developer.
I've done all these steps numerous times and still same problem. Also I looked it up, checked with my friends who have the same phone, and talked to T-Mobile service reps and they all say it the the left one is the mic and that they aren't supposed to play together. But I would ask on the devs thread but I don't have that permission yet because I haven't made 10 posts yet. I know its the Tom because I followed the instructions exactly, I even waited 10 mins before moving of like he says to do. Also I went back to weapon g2x and the problem was solved.

Could you make a video of this?! That's actually kinda cool! Do you have any issues when using speakerphone?
I've used speaker phone maybe once. I'm on CM9 sk3. Using Power Amp I put my thumb over one speaker and that muffles the sound, move it over the other and the sound is muffled the same amount. If I were getting sound only from one at the most, and likely would get the opposite effect since the reverberance would be focused more, there would only be a slight difference when covering the non-functioning speaker.
Don't know what to say about a video, you won't see me covering the speakers, I have no webcam to record me.
Edit: also running Faux B4

If he's got insurance send it in... If not find a local cell pnone repair, there on craigslist usually you can find someone to fix it no problems.

Here is a little secret I will let you in on. This coming from experience on fixing phones. Do this.
1st disassemble the phone. You may need a t5 or t6 screwdriver. Don't need to seperate the digitizer from the bezel. Just strip it down so you can access the circuit boards.
2nd get a very copious amount of isopropil alcohol and a small brush. There will also be a part of the main board that has a metal cover over it. Pry those off carefully. Once you stripped it down, brush the alcohol over all of the circuitboards and connections. What this will do is break the corrosion off the circuits. Believe me it is there even though you can't see it. Let the phone sit for about a day so that it can be completely dried.
3rd reassemble and then power up. It should work like it is new.
I did this twice in the last month. Once to a iPhone 3gs (it was my brother's I wouldn't have done it otherwise) and a mytouch 3G slide. Both worked like New afterward.

what is your hboot version? if it is 1.44.0007, have you tried running Revolutionary to S-OFF? i am not sure if it would work tho if you can't boot into the system.
your other hope is to flash the newer stock firmware file, and at least be able to boot into the newest stock ROM. after that you you wouldn't be able to S-OFF, but you could use the HTC unlock tool, and be able to root, and flash ROMs. if it comes to this, try the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508406, dowloading the stock firmware file and flashing it as instructed there.
hopefully this helps ya.
Believe me it's not a software issue. It's a corrosion issue. You can load all the software you want and it will still mock you. The mytouch 3G slide acted the exact same way. Once brushed it with alcohol it worked like new.

yeah, i guess we were writing at the exact same time. i thought maybe it sounded like a bootloop, although you generally don't get bootloops if you haven't rooted and flashed something wrong. and water damage probably wouldn't lead to a software issue.
but anyway, hopefully the device can be made to work again. thanks for the tips!
