Hi,
Just upgraded to a Skyrocket a few days ago. However, the speakers don't seem to work. I first thought it was because I installed custom Roms but even after i flashed back to stock, it wouldn't work.
The calling volume is fine. It is just that anything that uses external speakers doesn't work.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Should I just exchange it?
sounds like a broken phone. A few others have had issues with the speaker, so i recommend an exchange
Were you able to fix the problem?
Hi,
I bought my Skyrocket in Feb 2012 and the speaker audio stopped working two days ago. I tried all the steps that ATT and Samsung said but it does not work.
The phone is still under warranty but ATT says I will get a refurbished phone (which I see ATT is selling for 40$ on its website) in exchange. Samsung says it will repair because of the warranty but I will have to mail them the phone and wait for 7 days at the least until they return it.
Is there anyway I can fix it by myself? The audio works when I plug in my ear phones. Also now and then the speaker audio comes but less that 5 seconds it has a buzzing audio and then dies. I never dropped my phone in the water or on the ground. It was well protected and used delicately!
Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers!!

The speaker on my fuze doesn't really work unless I sometimes tap it lightly, and even then it crackles. it started happening suddenly a few days ago. its really annoying because I can't hear incoming calls anymore, and the speakerphone feature doesn't work either. I'm using NATF's 3.4 ROM, and have been since it came out, but this only started suddenly. I've noticed a small "popping" noise ever time I get an incoming text/call/ or some type of incoming signal.
I think its obvious that this is a hardware problem. If I remember correctly, I think HTC devices come with a 1 year manufactuer's warrenty. Maybe I can make use of it?
Would I also have to unflash the phone and bring it to factory settings?
bump? can someone please give me some advice?
same problem...
speaker
Same problem, speaker stops working then works.
same problem, Mine finally went out all together, and I can only hear it when my ear is RIGHT NEXT TO THE SPEAKER....its very low...I need to go ahead and try to get a warranty replacement.
I suggest contacting ATT ASAP. even if you didn't purchase a replacement plan, HTC provides a warrenty for a certain amount of days. As long as your phone isn't otherwise damaged you can send it back
I did it, and got a newphone in about 4 days (though you can get expedited shipping for $12)
Alright, so lately my Inspire has been going to the crapper. I rooted about 3 months ago using the Ace Hack Kit and it ran perfectly for 2 and a half months with the ROM it provides. The last few weeks it has been freezing running simple tasks and locking up. This in itself got very annoying, but now its gone over the top with my external speaker quit on me. I have no idea why it should do that, because I take care of the phone and use it regularly. Any help? I can live without the speaker if I have to, but I would really like to clean up the performance big time
Edit: And battery life is terrible, but I think that may just be time for a new battery anyway
If your speaker is busted, I'd recommend returning to stock and seeing if you can get it replaced under warranty

What he said. My external speaker blew too. Just happens in common electronics. Return to stock rom and if want to, then unroot it. Use the search to find the thread on how to unroot. Its very easy and possible. And call up HTC and see if your phone is still under warranty. They will give you a number and you will right that on your package. All you have to pay for is shipping. beats paying for a new phone. ATT wanted to charge me $150 for a new phone and I bought it for $99. You can see why I went with HTC. They didnt detect any software issues with rooting or anything like that. They replaced the speaker and sent it back within 2 weeks.
Buy a new speaker from ebay. You can pick one up last time I checked for $2. Takes about 5 minutes to replace. Will void your warranty though since you have to remove the back.
It came back on amazingly, but it was after several days and restarting it numerous times. It was threatening to not give me my pics back, but it all came back and is running pretty good now
During a call yesterday, I completely lost all sound from my One S. There is absolutely nothing, and yes I have tried the in-call volume! Speaker phone works fine, but obviously I can't just use that. Has anybody had or heard of this problem? Any suggestions I can try? So far, I have reset to factory settings, and updated to the latest RUU, no luck.
If I need to send this in to HTC, I'd appreciate some guidance as to what I need to do (I'm in the UK). Thanks!
Try cleaning out the headphone jack port.
Happens to all phone if it get dirty enough. Hopefully that's the problem with yours and nothing major.

Hmmm no luck with that I'm afraid Headphone jack works fine with headphones in, took them out and gave it as good a clean as I dared, but still the same.
Pretty sure the phone is borked, I've tried everything I can think of. Even bought an app that bypasses the headphone socket, but no joy.
Could anyone give me advice on the best way of getting this repaired by HTC UK?
Just wanted to post to give a massive thumbs up for the HTC UK repair centre. Phone was picked up by UPS on Tuesday, and returned to me today. Not only have they fixed the main issue with the internal speaker, they've also replaced the entire casing of the phone which was starting to chip badly. Basically looks like a brand new phone! Very impressive service

Hello,
I own the world wide edition of the HTC 8X and all of the sudden the microphone stopped working. It works if I am using the headphones but nothing goes through the build in mic. Broken?
Looks like this is random. I made one call which was fine then a second but nobody could hear me. I am sending my device back

I have the same issue! It was ironically when I was on the phone with ATT it happened for the second time. She said it sounded like I was in a tunnel when she could finally hear me.

i am on verizon, i had same issue for few days, and verizon asked me to send device for repair and sent me replacement device.
looks like its wide spread problem
del
Unit cannot be repaired
I called Virgin Mobile and they said my warranty lasts as long as the contract does which is 24 months so I didn't had to claim from my insurance. Following some investigation, people could hear me via the handsfree, speakerphone but not the built in microphone. In addition, the phone sort of died reception-wise; Bluetooth, NFC, 3G connectivity was crap as well. Anyway Virgin Mobile texted me just now saying we cannot repair it and we are sending you a brand new replacement phone. So yay. claim on your warranties while you still can. Looks like HTC shipped some defective units
