I've been running the latest version of LiquidSmooth v2.1 on my VZW Galaxy S3 for several weeks now and it has been great! Had a couple of freeze-ups, but I think it is great for a daily driver. The battery life has been phenomenal as well. The only problem I'm running into now is when using Skype. When I make or take a call, I cannot get the audio from the person on the other end to go through my speaker on the back of the phone. It does however come through the speaker on the front of the phone, but that makes video calls rather pointless if you have to hold the handset up to your ear when you want to hear the other person. I have clicked on every button while on the call and it will not put the audio through the back speaker. However, on a normal voice call, it'll come through the back speaker.
Anyone else having this problem? I've rebooted and performed a battery pull to no avail.
Thanks for the help in advance.
I never had it with this phone but I've had that problem with my droid incredible 2; what fixed it was plugging in headphones and then pulling them out. Took me at least 2 tries to actually get it working, don't know if it'll apply for this device as well.

So, you don't have the problem with Skype on the S3 running LiquidSmooth? But you did have it on the DInc 2?
I'll definitely give it a go. Thanks!

Last night I noticed every time I use my phone, rather I call or answer a call, its automatically on speaker phone and I have to turn the speaker off.
Infuse 2.2.1 rooted stock AWESOME WORKING ROM with all Go theme stuff...
what could be wrong? I can't figure it out.
Same issue here. It really confuses me.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the upgrade. I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.2.1 lastnight when all this started.
No mines doing it to can't figure it out. I haven't changed anything in over a month

On my Inspire there is a DOCK setting that would cause this. I do not know if the infuse has it or not but something you can look for?
It's a bug that happens when new rom is flashed and the phone apk gets messed up....
Could happen on any new rom and side effect is always the same - call is answered and immediately goes to speaker phone...
Have to wipe data/factory reset and flash again usually...

I have been having the issue on my Infuse as well, in addition to screen rotation being stuck on, no matter if I turn off the settings to do so. After finding the dock settings under general settings, telling my phone to force an undock, this fixed the issue. A side note, I have a backup battery case that is always plugged in; I had to remove the case to turn off the docking settings, because with the case the phone always thought it was docked.
I hope this helps.
Anyone ever have this problem and how was it fixed? Im rooted with bamf and it started 2 wks ago. Bamf is NOT the cause.

Tried that and it did not work but thank you for the response.
Clean your proxy sensor, your face may be pressing it while you talk. Can of air in speaker will do the trick.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button.
Mine too
Mine was doing this too for a couple of days...It has stopped now, I don't know ehy it started and don't know why it stopped. But I'm glad it did!
I can't get my phone to let the others hear me unless i put it on speakerphone first, and then turn the speaker phone off! I am having this issue in so Two of the Roms that i wanted to keep using........Octane 2.x and Valhalla!!
And ideas of what this may be?

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.

Hey guys! Tonight I just noticed that my external loud speaker sounds really weak and low. I have it turned all the way up and its low.. I know my battery life is in the yellow with 21% left. Does the phone lower the volume when battery gets to a certain point? This phone has been flawless. Now I'm afraid it has a problem

I think the obvious thing to do here would be to charge your phone and see if it goes back to normal. Agreed?

Agreed. Lol. But I just did a google search and found several people complaining about the same thing. They said the phone was working and loud speaker was fine. After a few weeks the speaker was really low.. They restarted the phone, and it was loud again. But after a few days went back to being low. Maybe software issue?

It's possible. I haven't noticed anything like that with mine but then again I don't use the loudspeaker that often. I'll have to pay attention to it now.

I just charged it thus mm ironing and rebooted it. Same problem. I would like to avoid a factory reset. I went through 3 different phones within a month. Not the One x. This is my first. They're going to think I'm crazy for walking into att and tell them there is a problem with this phone now. I see the same people all the time.

Hello,
Only the loud speaker is affected? Headphones work fine?
Do all types of sound have the volume problem, Calls, Videos, youtube, Music? Does your ring tone come out at full volume?
Do you use google nav or any other similar app that outputs commands and such through the loud speaker? I ask because I read somewhere (maybe here on xda) that people were thinking it was maybe due to such apps.

Ok so today I found out that the volume does not change with the last 3 or 4 pushes of the volume up button, it does not increase. Nor the same for lowering. It's like its stuck at 60% volume. What do I do..? Return it for a replacement or stick with it?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I have the same problem, only noticed it the other day when I decided to play some music the volume was really low on the external speaker so I decided to make a phone call and the volume seemed low in both the earpiece and external speaker so out of dumb luck I decided to restart the phone. Volume got louder in both but eventually got lower again after a few days. Also, noticed that the external volume doesn't seem to change with the last 2-3 clicks up or down.
Hoping this is a software issue since otherwise it works great, don't really want to return it and possibly get one with other issues.

This is the exact same problem I am having now.. I too noticed that the ear volume is low as well. I did restart the phone. It worked good for a day. Then same thing. I too am like you. Hopefully there is a software fix for it. I called at&t. They said That HTC handles the tech support for the HOX. Maybe you should call them too and complain. If they hear it from someone else, it might be good.

I did talk to HTC Tech Support and was told there's NO Issue with the volume on the device and was given a number for Repair which I haven't called yet.
And yes, it's last about a day then it gets lower.
it has to be a software issue, im experiancing the same thing. got a replacement today because of it, and when i was in calls it sounded like i was in a tunnel? no case on the phone.

My first one x was a ht24 model that came with 1.73(I think that was the version correct me if I'm wrong) and had the same issues after about a month. My replacement is a ht23 with 1.85... I haven't noticed the issue with this phone but will look into it now and see if this one has it.

I've noticed a very similar issue with my One X. I keep my phone at full volume and every once and a while the volume from the back speaker gets a bit quieter. Nothing seems to fix it, except for rebooting the phone.
Ok, my Samsung Captivate stopped ringing when someone is trying to call me. And I can't hear anything when I put it on 'speaker phone'.
It looks like the speaker phone (in the back is dead)? Yes, I've checked many times to make sure the call volume is on at the highest setting.
And I can no longer hear any sound when playing game or listening to music/video.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Lots of people have had success with just pushing the speaker down with their thumb, but I had to take the phone apart and mess with a connection for a permanent fix. Search this site for speaker fixes.
Thanks guys. I push the speaker down a few times and it seems to work now.
