Ok, I've searched the internets and this forum and could not find this issue. Basically, everything on this phone works fine, except for phone calls. Mind you speaker phone and BlueTooth and using the 3.5mm jack, works great for phone calls, but no audio is coming from the actually speaker for phone calls.
This seems more like a software issue, as when I dial a number and it calls, it makes the call, but the ability to mute audio is greyed out. However when I switch to speaker phone, I get audio and the ability to mute calls.
The phone is rooted with the stock android. I also used bloatware freezer to freeze a bunch of the unwanted junk. I'd say this was an issue with an app I froze, but the issue didn't pop up until recently (LAST WEEK)and I did the root/bloatware freeze months ago.
Hasn't been a major issue as I usually use BT or plug my phone into my car speaker system for phone calls. But in the instances where I don't have that stuff handy, using the speaker phone is an embarrassing mess.
My gripe with g2x speakers is why place them on the bottom of phone...
I usually cover the speaker on accident when holding the phone and prefer having a speaker on either top front or top back of the phone. Its too easy to cover the g2xs speakers where there placed.

The Phone speaker is at the top front for regular phone calls. The bottom speaker is for Speaker Phone and Audio/Video.
....ಠ_ಠ.....
I m pretty sure is at bottom.

I'd say... Do a nandroid and flash a different rom. As I don't know the finer details, I couldn't tell you something more intricate to do.
If it persists on other roms... Well, someone else will have to take over from there.
I already used the phone the phone for two days and whenever he phone produces any audio, there would be an annoying hiss to it that lasts for another 5 seconds after the audio stops. This includes the lock screen, keyboard etc. as there are sound effects. I'm using Klipsch S4 ear buds and they've been my daily buds for my iPod for almost a year with no issue. When I use the stock Samsung buds or my senns, the hiss doesn't seem to be AS pronounced but still there. Has anyone had the same problems? I'm eager to know because if this can't be resolved then I'm going to need to replace it.

For real? So is this a persistant issue. If it is I might end up return in this for something else.

I don't think it's just us, I think it's all the SGS II's because of the bad quality Yamaha DAC in it.
How long do you have your sound? From what I know, the louder the sound, the more the hiss is heard.
I rarely hear it unless charging myself

The sound for me is noticeable when using my IEMs. I don't notice it when using the stock buds or Apple ear buds. What are you guys using and does it have the hissing sound?
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium
I had the same problem...
But it was most noticeable on the first one I got, the second and third return didn't have the problem as bad. The second didn't exhibit it at all but the stuck green pixel in the center of the screen sent that one back. THe third one is not bad unless the volume is maxed out. But the volume rocker on this one squeaks like train trying to stop. I would love to grease it but I am sure that wouldn't be good for the phone.
I hear the hissing too, it's not just for 5 seconds after the audio stops, it's going on constantly.
I have the same issues, which is really annoying when using the Aux cable in my vehicle. It is embarrassing....

Every android phone I've ever owned has done this, I think it's just how some are built.

Oddly enough its the first of ours out of nearly 10-12 that has done it

I have a fairly large recording studio in my home and a couple of very large 5.1 video systems. Expensive ones. I've plugged the headphone out from my SR into a pair of Bose Roommates, a $1700 Kenwood receiver pushing a large pair of JBLs for the fronts in a 5.1 system, a Soundcraftsman preamp/power amp system running a pair of Bose with a JBL sub, and several pairs of studio quality headphones. The audio sounds fine playing back mp3's, if you consider that mp3's sound fine to start with.
The issue typically presents itself when music is not playing.. while Pandora loads or in between songs...and as i mentioned in my case most notably when charging
In our case I think the car thing is the head unit itself so we are taking it to the dealership

Can't help you much with anything that streams. I hate not being able to call a cab because my phone is dead after I treated it like an entertainment center all day. I carry a 64G iTouch for that sort of thing and loaded the phone with my core of favorite listening material and a few movies just to see how it performed.
I WILL (very briefly) look into it and see if I can duplicate the issue. Being the A/V person I am (15 years as a PBS Producer/Director... after several years as a county government level computer programmer... and an ongoing web development career, all on top of a 48 year career as a performing musician), I'm always interested in that sort of thing.
As I said, I'm reasonably happy with the headphone output's signal. Sometimes it's necessary to run it through a device that actually drops it down to a true line level for some of the more picky gear I have in the studio but that's par for the course with any device with only an amplified headphone output.
It does it with any audio..not just streaming
Any who you and I keep having the same convos cross forums lol

I can no longer hear any audio except through the ear piece when making calls. Have tried turn on/off and taking battery out. Any ideas?

so the phone speaker doesn't work either? how about headphones? We need a bit more detail to determine if it is a hardware or software issue.
I have found that the phone speaker works only during a call. But I have tried headphones and those don't work either. I can also sometimes hear my ringtone when I get a text. Also a freak thing happened, I had a song playing to see if the audio was working again for whatever reason and I got a text...instead of the ringtone playing it played the song for the duration of the ringtone.
So we bought an irenic
Otter box case for this phone and with it on it causes the sound to be muffled. Take it off and it doesn't. All speakers and mics appear to be visible and I just can't figure out why it does that. Weird thing is for the first few minutes after you put it on it doesn't sound muffled but then goes back to it. I'm referring to speaker phone as well as on call volume without speaker phone on. Anyone have any insight before we send it back?

So my cousin bought this phone yesterday and during his first phone call noticed that he could only hear the other end of the call thru headphones or speaker. Verizon replaced it without question and there was no issue there. Was just wondering if anybody else got a defective device.

My first replacement had a bad ear piece. Cracking when turned up during a call.
My volume is low on earpiece during calls. I can't hear much unless I am in a quiet room. In my car with road noise (New B'Mer not very loud) I can hardly here other party

If you're talking about using ur phone up to your ear, speaker by front camera, I would say replace it! Mine is very loud on full volume, honestly the loudest cell phone speaker I've ever had for the regular speaker, not talking about speaker phone here.
