I have been having some problems with the front speaker lately. Most of the time when I get an incoming call or make a call no sound comes through the front speaker and have to put the loudspeaker on to hear anything. The weird part is that from time to time it works fine usually after using the wired headphones. Oh an the volume is set to max.
Has anyone else had the same problems? How to fix this? could it be that I changed some settings inadvertantly?

Mine did not work at all any more. I even did a hard reset; no change. I have now sent it back to HTC for repairs.

Same here
Mine doesn't work at all.
Wow, I guess we should start a poll where people would select which problems they are experiencing:
1. Wi-Fi
2. BT
3. Front earphone
4. Radio
5. Bad painting
6. Shutting down suddenly
7. None of the above
More than one could be chosen... That would ballpark the size of the problem. Maybe some production batches were messed up due to the hurry from Qualcomm to deliver the already delayed parts? Maybe HTC came to that point where the brand is far larger than is the company's capacity of growing (especially in terms of QA)...

I have the same problem. The wired is that it ocassionally works. Another problem is that FM not always working. I bought the device in German. But now I'm in China. Any one knows how to fix? I don't know how to disassemble it. But I'm curious, maybe some pin is loose?
Same for me, the front speaker didn't work for 48 hours and then worked again I don't even know how
No sound speaker htc touch
I have the same problem, no sound from de phone, when switching to handsfree mode i hear de caller
Hello,
I have the same problem and found that this happened when starting an application that uses only rear speaker or hands free speaker (e.g. Tom Tom, Compe Pocket, etc.)
And the problem is not of that application, the problem is in the phone application of the cruise. I think that these applications mute or power off the front speaker and the phone application don´t activate it.
I have found a solution to this. When making or receiving a call, press many times speaker or hands free button on display and after many times, speaker works again.
Now, I am looking for a new phone application, in order to quit HTC application. Somebody knows a good phone application to use in Cruise????
Many thanks in advance.
My device has been returned today.
Have not had a chance to test it. Will do so when I get home tonight (in 8 hours). I will let you all know if it has been resolved.
As a remark to fran_mad's post; In my case, even after a FULL HARD reset, the speaker did not work.
I therefore do not think it was caused by a software problem.
Kind regards,
Robin

Motherboard has been replaced and all works OK again.
Good and quick service from HTC (free pick-up and delivery within one day)
I am still not sure if I like this one better then my good old sleek, slim and sexy Touch.
no sound from phone speaker
fran_mad's solution did not work for me.
I am affraid it's a hardware thing with me too?
I checked volume, did soft and hard resets (clear storage) but frontside speaker does not work!
HTC technical Support is going to collect my phone tomorrow. I will post my proceedings...
frontside speaker repaired
HTC Techsupport repaired my Touch Cruise within a week. Bravo!
See if it keeps working this time!
Same here. Front speaker started to fail a few times. 1 week later it totally stopped. Was repaired by HTC (EuroTwice.be) in 2 weeks.
Front speaker stopped working after 1 month usage - motherboard replaced by htc within 12 days. But now the device shuts down by itself sometimes - will send it to htc again tomorrow - meanwhile i am very disappointed about my Touch Cruise.

Hi
I have problem with the front speaker.
The sound is "blurry" if i put the caller to rear speaker the sound is crystal clear.
So the problem must be in front speaker??
I search the net but i cant find where to get it?
Is somebody have the front speaker from dead Prophet?

just wanna share with others..
my touch cruise experienced this weird problem since yesterday.i've tried fran_mad's method and and its works!! thanx dude! i'm still figuring why the heck this kind of problem happened as i didnt change any setting on my phone.
Sorry for being clueless but what do you guys mean by "front/rear speakers"? I thought there is only one speaker on the back side of the phone and a universal connector for handsfree - earphones+mic?
There are two speakers, one in front and one on the back. My front speaker died and was repaired by htc - new motherboard. Seems to be a known problem...
Hello
I have just notiched that when im holding the loudspeaker up to my ear i can hear a clicking noise not very loud I can only hear it when holding it against my ear...

NO.........
I just started having this same problem. Just rooted my phone and installed Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 XE. I have the Regular Sensation 4G. It worked great for a couple days, now anything that normally plays through the device speaker just makes a very very quiet ticking noise. You have to hold your ear almost to the phone to hear it. Headphones and earpiece work fine. I tried flashing the non XE rom, but got the same issue. I read through 8 pages of searches and didn't find any resolution, just a few other people that had what sounded like the same issue. Has anybody fixed this without replacing the phone?

I have JUST got the exact same problem, in-call (front) speaker works, but if I switch to loudspeaker during call it goes silent, save for sticking your ear to the phone in which case you can hear that the rear speaker is making a constant clicking/oscillating type sound, albeit very quiet. This issue I initially presumed to be ROM related, but the issue persists across the board, AOSP, Stock, all ROMs. Thus I have also just ordered a replacememt speaker and will post the results.
I have the exact same problem with mine s4 active

disassemble phone and make sure the speaker is seated correctly, if it's seated correctly then you might have a duff speaker, alternatively try a bog standard rom aka default one, and see if it works

[UPDATE] New speaker arrived, took everything apart, swapped speakers, rebuilt, booted up, pressed the volume up button- 'no sound'! Pressed the volume up button with ear to the loudspeaker and there it is again- quiet clicking sound, best way I can describe it is that it sounds like a mini tazer! Took everything apart again, checked connections over and over (bearing in mind the loudspeaker just has two pins that rest directly on to the circuit board itself- I.e not hard to check), rebuilt, rebooted, same problem! Did a nandroid of my current and flashed a stock ROM,,, SAME PROBLEM!
Either the replacement speaker is also duff, or I am seriously missing something. :banghead:

I'm stumped, love my old Sensation too so I'm relying solely on vibration to no miss calls. As I said, across the board..
I had Sultan's CM11 but had bugs so i reverted back to my nandroid of Albinoman's CM10.3, which is when it happened! Which made me think it was software related, but I've tried all ROM bases since to rule out all variables and it persists. Switching the loudspeaker and still there, checking the motherboard and all other connections and nothing makes a difference. Possibly the new speaker is also a duff?

did you do a full wipe, i would try going back to the basic ruu rom that came with the phone before giving up, although you will lose root, woth a try
as you could root again, have a go

I Always do a full wipe when I flash any ROM. I backup all apps and data with Titanium, then enter 4EXT to make a nandroid of current ROM, then do a full wipe- system, cache, Dalvik, before I try a new ROM, time consuming I know but that's probably one of those OCD'esque things I do. And I've taken similar consideration in trying to rule out what this could be. I'll try one more time your suggestion!

Hello,
I have a problem with the Keyboard vibration on my Sensation.
This is the story. I currently have a HD2 with Android CM7 (ACA) i really like it but i want a better camera. The one in the HD2 simply sux. Thats the only bad thing about that phone.
A Friend of mine had a sensation witch is 1-2 months old. He wanted a iphone 4S so i bought the phone. (he turned the vibration off @ day 1 do i dont know is this problem was alway's there)
I did not try the stock rom yet but in any other rom: ARHD, IncertCoin, Energy, LeeDroid i have the same problem.
My Keyboard vibration will stop working same goes for vibration when being called. I tried multiple roms, kernels and Radio's.
That had no effect. I also tried: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/fix-htc-sensation-unresponsive-screen-issue-diy-guide/
But that did not help. What i did find out is the following:
-If the keyboard does not work i remove the the battery cover and it works again.
-It will also keep working as long as i keep the cover removed. If i put it back on it will keep working for a little while before it stops again.
-If i put paper between the silver connector on the side it wont make a difference it works for a while and then stops.
-If i put paper between the bottom copper connector it works better. Sometime it stops but it seems to work a bit longer. And if it stops it sometimes will come back without removing the cover. I still have a phone signal and wifi signal.
Does anyone know what that bottom antenna is for? I heard more people have this problem. Does anyone know what is causing it?
Thanks in advance!
Update. The bottom Antenna is the GPS Antenna.
Covering that is no fix for the problem only seems to improve it a bit.
If i cover one of the top antenna's it does not work at all.
the one at the top is for the Wifi and telephone. the one below that i dont know yet. But i still had a signal when that was covered.
Update 2:
I think i found the problem. The vibration motor is located under the Sim card.
When i remove the cover and put presure on the front side just below the back button and the back side on the left side of the sim card near the edge of the phone it does not work anymore.
So i think there is a connection problem with the motor. I'm not pressing on the rotating part of the motor so it could spin if it was working.
I guess i will have to send it in :'(
I used to have a Desire and the vibration would sometimes stop working, I'd just tap the phone with my hand and it would work again. Not ideal really.
I have similar problems. Going to call HTC tomorrow to get it fixed.
Hi,
I've had two Moto G's. both have been returned/replaced due to the ear piece/speaker buzzing like a kazoo when someone speaks/audio is heard through it.
I can now only assume it's dust that's caused this to happen, as I use my phone in a reasonably dusty environment occasionally through work.
Has anyone noticed similar problems? Anyone know ways to prevent/cure this should it happen again?
I came here to post this same thing. Mine was fine until shortly after the latest ota. I plan on calling Motorola soon, just haven't gotten around to it.

It could have changed after an update for me too. The only physical change could be the dust, but this seems unlikely because it excluded to a fairly modest amount very briefly!

Have the same problem! I got a new moto g because the 1st one was doing this cracking sound during calls both on 4.3 and 4.4!
The one has the same problem AGAIN!! i am very angry with this because i feel like the phone is fake and very cheap with this extreme bad sound i will try contact motorola
Στάλθηκε από το XT1032 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
I'm also having this problem. In fact, I'm on hold right now with motorola as I call to swap my second phone for the same reason. I started having the problem on my first phone a few weeks ago. The second phone had the buzzing problem as soon as it arrived. In both cases the phones have buzzed intermittently and tapping them face down hard against my palm seems to stop the noise for a bit. That isn't a good option because you have to tell the person on the other end to hold the phone away from their ear while you do it. It suggests to me that there is something like sand in the speaker.
We have three phones. One other has had almost no use, while the third has had a huge amount of use as phone and audio player using the headphone. Yesterday the speaker on that last one stopped working altogether. It only works with headphones. I assume it doesn't recognize the headphones have been removed. I don't believe it had the buzzing problem.
I love the phones otherwise.
I have sucessfully solved the problem in two moto g's
Hello to everyone.
First of all, I'd like to thank to everybody that have been developing the threads that as made this possible.
I have read many pages trying to understand the problem.
But I'm going to explain the whole process. I HAVE DONE THIS WITH SINGLE CHIP MOTO G 16GB AND MOTO G 8GB BOTH GSM!!!!
You can find the problem starting the call in a quiet place and you'll see that the sound is good, then in the same call you put some music playing around you and you'll start to have the issue. Try it and you'll find that is what happens.
I've seen mostly on Ebay, that this earpieces are selling like cakes, but definetly you don't have a broken earpiece, and you can test it activating SETTINGS-» DEVELOPER OPTIONS-» USB DEBUGGING, then you go to the dialer an dial this code *#*#2486#*#* or you may see in app drawer an app called CQAtest, it's the same thing, but this is only possible with USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.
Now that you have entered in the test menu you see two bars, select the first one, then select AUDIO, after that you see EARPIECE, click on it and make the BUZZ TEST, when it starts you should put your phone next to your ear. You'll be listening an harmonic sound that starts on a lower frequency and goes to an higher frequency, and it wil be repeating itself.
In this step you can for sure know if you earpiece has problems, if you don't listen any distortion in the loop that it's played, THEN YOU HAVE A FULL OPERATING EARPIECE. Otherwise, it's faulty and you should replace it ( I REALLY DOUBT THAT YOU HAVE A FAULTY EARPIECE).
OK. Now that we have tested the earpiece and we found that has nothing wrong with it, we have to take another steps.
THIS INVOLVE FLASHING THE WHOLE FIRMWARE TO JB 4.3 BUT IT WILL WORK REALLY BEATIFULL
I've taken the Android 4.3-Blur_Version.14.91.11.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE that is the one that really solve the problem, from sbf.droid-developers.org.
Both Moto G's were UK retail one with 4.3 first version (never updated, that so it couldn't install apk's unless they were downloaded from Playstore or GDrive) and the other one with 4.4.2, this can tell us that it is not a problem caused from updating firmware.
I really think even Motorola isn't aware of this problem caused by a little piece of software on the phone.
BEFORE YOU FLASH THIS FIRMWARE, YOU CAN TRY IF IT SOLVES THE PROBLEM GOING RIGHT TO THE SPOT.
Go to SETTINGS--» SOUND--» AUDIO EFFECTS.
Now you'll see a switch that can be turned to OFF, you can try this at first, go back all the way until the app drawer, search your dialer and make a call, could be to your voicemail or another service from your operator that you're sure you aren't paying. Iniciating the call in a quiet environment you can listen well but if you put some music to play from a radio or something that it is near from you, that will increase the surrounding sound and makes the problem reapears, if the switching OFF AUDIO EFFECTS doesn't solved the problem. Try this several times to make sure that the problem it is still there.
If the problem persists go to SETTINGS--» SOUND--» AUDIO EFFECTS and you'll see WIRED STEREO and SPEAKER. In the Speaker badge set Equalizer to OFF and repeat the process of the call in quiet and during the call add surround sound with a level that can match the volume of the call. Then again, if the problem resides in there it will reveal himself right in that point. Try this several times to make sure that the problem it is still there.
If the problem it is there after this whole process and tests, then to get rid of it FOR SURE, reflash or downgrade to the firmware I've mentioned before. After reflash, Go to SETTINGS--» SOUND--» AUDIO EFFECTS, select the SPEAKER badge and turn the equalizer to OFF.
Make the tests I've mentioned before in call quiet, and with surrounding music and you'll be pleased that THE PROBLEM HAS GONE FOREVER.
Hope I've helped.
Cheers
I'm on my 2nd Moto G due to the buzzing earpiece problem. My Moto G is running stock non-rooted 4.4.3.
I used the sequence you mentioned to run the BUZZ TEST and I didn't hear any distortion at all! Amazing!
I'm having some trouble following your instructions though. I did turn off Audio Effects completely. However, the problem still persists. Can you explain why this would produce a buzzy sound in the earpiece?
Possible Solution
Hi everyone!
I found a peculiar solution. Maybe don't work for everyone, but worked with my Moto G and it's very easy to perform.
First, some comments about my case:
I've followed every step described by @jomedeiros ...I performed the CQAtest and the buzzing noise is clearly heard in the BUZZ TEST, especially in the low frequency sound at the begin of the harmonic sound. I should clarify that the buzzing sound was almost unbearable, like a broken speaker.
My Moto G is running stock non-rooted 4.4.4 (latest ota).
I set all the audio effects OFF, equalizer to OFF, etc... etc... But the buzz was still there.
My solution?
Vacuum cleaner!!!
Yes, too easy right? But works!!
I removed the back cover of the Moto G and with the crevice tool accessory, aspirate all the sides of the phone, then for several seconds on the rubber piece where the cancelation mic was, and specially all over the earpiece metal grid, then tapping the phone face down hard against my palm and aspire the earpiece again, from one side to another (gently taking care not to scratch the glass with the vacuum accessory).
In the first round with the vacuum, the buzzing sound drops significantly, and with one second attempt, the earpiece returned to the original sound, clear and undistorted.
Well... In my case should be only dust, but worth the test because here in Argentina the technical service it can take up to 90 days :/
Perhaps it's worth noting I'm designer and don't spent too much time in dusty spaces. Maybe the little dust in the pockets is enough!. Who knows!

Hello everyone.
In the case of the moto G that had the 4.4.2 version, I've downgraded to this one, 4.3.
What is the cause of this problem?
I really don't know, but before reflashing with the mentioned firmware, I have tried all kind of things, also the vaccum cleaner (BUT BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE THE VACCUM CLEANER, IT CAN DAMAGE FOREVER THE EARPIECE) including reflashing with the original firmware (UK) among others and the only solution untill today remais the same. Reflash with the firmware 4.3 bold mentioned in the first post that I' ve wrote.
I can tell that both phones still working very nice until today, and the problem of the earpice has never happened. But both are in the version 4.3. and so far I can tell, everyone that has upgraded their phones have tons of problems with them, so mi wife and my mother prefer to stay with the 4.3 version (so do I because I don't like of what they have done to Android from the 4.3 to the day of today, I have a Note 2 and I'm still with the 4.1.2, because they've messed the Android system in the upper versions and I refuse to upgrade. So this are preferences of each user).
XDA doesn't let me post the direct link here to download the firmware.
So maybe throug pm?
Hope I've helped. Cheers
Another solution
ANOTHER SOLUTION TO SOLVE THE BUZZING BUZZ EARPIECE MOTO G
I have the same issue that many of us had, the buzzing earpiece.
SOLUTION:
- I bought 2 earpiece from ebay 3€ both.
- Then I dissasembly the phone, like is this youtube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycER7MH61l8
Its simple you only have to care about the conector, but slowly Ive done it.
- To desatach the battery I use a cut credit card to lift it up and to unglued the black conector from the screen. (i didnt use the hairdrier)
- Then I put the 2 earpiece BUT still making the buzzing noise!!!!
. Then I move the metal spring conector on the earpiece to make it stronger and turn it the other way to use the other 2 conectors that are in the motherboard.
- And voilá, the noise is gone!
The original earpeice probably was working, but I broke it when taking out.
(I know theres some mistakes, but you undestand)
jomedeiros can't put links so here the link for the rom

Earspeaker always bRRRzzing
I post in this old thread because is the only I found googling which try to give some (and different) solutions to the earspeaker making "GRRRR".
My XT1032 has the problem. My first attempt was to wipe, than to reset, then to change TWO earspecker (one from England as OEM and one sold as compatible from Italy), then to try the simcard into another phone (and it works very well inside an Y300, I can't believe that into MotoG 2013 VS Y300 match the first loses ) then to unlock and install a Cyanogen, then rotating the speaker during assembly (in the printed circuit there are 4 fields to give connection and only a pair is used at time), then moving the 2 spring connectors to try to give better stronger connections. From one try to the other the problem persists also using the service menu. So at the last point I revert and changed again the speaker with the original piece. Vivavoice is good and the ear phones too, no distortion.
My conclusions? The original speaker is bad (and I can see that the transparent sheet of nylon is not well plain), the second was worse but very similar in results, the last was really bad and if with the original I obtain a distortion in a window in the low harmonic with the compatible I obtain a distortion in all the low harmonic, from start to the middle.
So, now, the question to anybody who has similar problems: maybe the two earspeakers I bought were not good, or maybe the circuit (I think the ampli) is broken?
Changing the phone because it works very well but not well as a phone is a bit..... frustrating, the battery (original) is good for my needs and the screen too, but trying to change other 1, 2, ... 10 earspeakers without a reply is a dead end....
Solved

I post in this old thread because is the only I found googling which try to give some (and different) solutions to the earspeaker making "GRRRR".
My XT1032 has the problem. My first attempt was to wipe, than to reset, then to change TWO earspecker (one from England as OEM and one sold as compatible from Italy), then to try the simcard into another phone (and it works very well inside an Y300, I can't believe that into MotoG 2013 VS Y300 match the first loses ) then to unlock and install a Cyanogen, then rotating the speaker during assembly (in the printed circuit there are 4 fields to give connection and only a pair is used at time), then moving the 2 spring connectors to try to give better stronger connections. From one try to the other the problem persists also using the service menu. So at the last point I revert and changed again the speaker with the original piece. Vivavoice is good and the ear phones too, no distortion.
My conclusions?

Ok, problem solved: this time the eraspecker from eBay was good! It come, again, from england. The first two were simple broken new guarenteed not working special price original best than sh**t Pentium inside tax free etc etc. Maybe some rule should prevent to sell broken new spares damn!
hello guys,
so yesterday i got a phone call and i answered it then i noticed that the caller's voice was not right and it persisted till the end of the call . when a hung up my speaker was having like a crackling / static noise like when i got the call (from the receiver) . i restarted my phone , booted to safe mode , cleared cache . nothing helped , i let it sit for like 3 h and it was gone , and today my phone was okay when suddenly the crackling/static speaker and receiver came back so i did a factory reset but nothing changed and after 1 h it was okay again .
i have never encountered this problem before
my phone : samsung galaxy s7 2 months old
and it has never been dropped
and i noticed something but idk if it helps : when the phone warms up a little bit this happens (not always) and when it cools down it works again
PLEASE I NEED ANY KIND OF HELP
update i new where was my problem :
i had covered my camera and heart rate sensor with piece of transparent paper . and when i removed it the sound went back to normal . then i put it back again to test it out and i had the same results . so it solved
yeah i'm gonna revive an old ass post to say that ANYONE who wants to protect their S7 camera and plans to put some kind of piece of transparent paper or film ie Armor Suit, that is too big, behind their phone WILL experience this problem. I don't know why, but you will literally experience a phenomenon where it seems your phone receiver got damaged or something...
Anyone else with this problem i hope you read this, it took me all sorts of fixing to finally figure it, including changing roms, going stock, air blowing the receiver, putting a magnet near it, and more...

Hello,
Reading this thread but none of the solutions are applicable. I do not have a film or paper covering my camera.
I am running Lineage 14.1 which is Nougat 7.1.2.
I've read that uninstalling the app automatic call recorder, ACR, would help. I didn't have that one installed, but I did have an app Call Recorder Pro installed, removed it, that made no difference.
If anyone else has this issue and a fix i'd love to know.
Thanks.
Dave.
