[Q] Did I blow my speaker? - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help!
I was running Validus 4.3 which was on android 4.4.2. I was playing music from the phone speakers and all of a sudden it stopped. There was no crackling of the sounds at all. I put the phone to its full volume and put the speaker right against my ear. I could here the music playing but it was realllly soft. It was playing without any crackling eathier. I rebooted, re flashed the ROM, and even restored my backup of stock. Then i tried to flash validus again and it wouldn't flash. Has this happened to anyone? Will i need to replace my speaker or my phone?

It seems you blew it. But why would you listen to music without headphones? The speaker was intended for notifications, the music sounds awful. I hope you find a fix for it, good luck.

Just buy some wireless bluetooth speakers. I paid for mine about $30 and it works great! Something like this f.e. (there are many products to choose from). I liked this one because you can use AA batteries or power through USB. http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/SC-MC07

[Q] Sound not working over loud speaker

[NEVERMIND...I GOT IT WORKING. IT SEEMS LIKE A BAD CONNECTION TO THE SPEAKER. IF I PUSH DOWN ON IT, IT WORKS FINE.]
This morning I was listening to one of my podcasts through bluetooth (A2DP). When I was done, I turned bluetooth off to bring the sound back to the phone. I wanted to show someone a youtube video. It was playing fine through the phones on-board speaker and then all of the sudden it just stopped playing the audio. The video was still playing. Initially I thought it was just a youtube thing but then I tried the music player and no audio would play over the phones speaker. I then tried rebooting the phone. Still no luck. I then used ROM manager to restore one of my backups. No luck. And yes, I have checked all volume levels and they are all turned up. The in call speaker works just fine but speaker phone does not. Any suggestions?? Bad speaker/connection? Do I need to go back to the shipped ROM and unroot the phone?
Push down on what?
I am having the exact same issue!!!
Phone calls work fine. But, no sound from speakers.
So I dont hear any notifications, cant put the phone on speaker, no alarm sound, etc.
ok.
i was able to resolve the issue. I had to push down hard on the speaker with my thumb, and wala!!! it started working.
i did a factory reset though... arrrrrgghhh... i wish i had tried this before the dang factory reset. Oh well, atleast the sound is working now.
I had this problem when I bought my Captivate and installed a clear plastic case made by Incipio. The case had a really tight fit. I believe it was squeezing the Captivate housing which causes the speaker to not make a connection to the circuit board. I found out when I was just playing around with ringtones and suddenly I couldn't hear anything coming out of the speaker. I rebooted the phone and even the animated AT&T and Galaxy S logos didn't make a sound. I played an MP3 and still no sound until I lightly tap the phone against my palm. I got the sound back. This happened again when I was showing a video to my friends. The sound cut off. I tapped the phone against my palm again. I got the sound back.
The following morning, I removed the case and played an entire album through the speakers. I did not encounter any speaker problems. I concluded that it must have been the tight case by Incipio which I had purchased at the AT&T store. I returned it and got the Body Glove gel case. Better.

Kindle Fire Audio Problems

So I flashed the latest Rom for my KF, VideoTouch1-20. For the most part the Rom is awesome, getting better each update and with audio finally working I can use my sucker as a big a$$ mp3 player. Anyways I ran into a problem that I haven't seen being addressed on the KF forum.
Audio works thru speaker just fine. When I plug my earphones into it, comes thru my earphones. When I unplug it though audio does not restore back to speakers again. I have 3 KF's(ppl on craigslist are selling them cheap and afraid to super brick one) and I've been able to replicate it thru all of them. I haven't yet tested them on previous builds yet(at work right now) but I was wondering has anyone else run across this problem.
I've made sure that its not muted, volume is all the way up, audio should have been restored back to speakers once unplugged. If i reconnect my earphones back though audio goes back to earphones. I have to kill my music app(or any audio app i was using to get it back to speaker again) or restart it.
Would address this on the KF forum but I cant yet
Hopefully Im not alone and yes I did my research on this... Actual followed the thread since the beginning. Very good reading material and learning experience.

Nexus 5 Audio Leak from Speaker with Headphones connected?

Hey guys, I know the title sounds weird but has anyone gotten the problem of Audio coming out of both headphones and speaker randomly while listen to music or watching a video?
I have a 32GB nexus 5 and I was watching a video and all of a sudden the volume went down and I could hear from my headphones and speaker as well. Just wondering if it's just my device or someone else is also having this problem.
If so, you think it's a software issue or hardware? Cause if it is, I'm gonna get it returned or exchanged asap.
Bump. Anyone has this problem?

I accidentally thanked you. Lmao. Anyways, make sure your headphones are pushed in all the way. They may be in only partially.

Lool. Thanks for the thanks.
Trust me I did that. When i watch YouTube sometimes and put it landscape the audio starts coming out from the speaker while headphones are plugged in. I reboot the phone then everything goes fine but sometimes it comes back again. This was the second time so I am worried whether it's a hardware issue of software. I feel it's software.

Just to echo: I had the same problem whilst listening on poweramp on my headphones, I declined a call by sending a text and all of a sudden I have audio coming out of headphones and speakers. Very embarassing on the tube!
I have restarted the phone and all seems to be good, but Google need to fix this.
I got the Mobile on the day before yesterday, and yesterday only I first connected the headphone, and I experienced similar issue. While playing music through PowerAmp, all of a sudden the volume on the headset gone low, and I heard its coming through speaker also. I pushed the jack all the way in, but the problem persist all the day long. when I put the jack in, it starts playing on the headphone only, and randomly it starts leaking. while playing through headphone whenever I press the power button, it starts leaking, whenever I go to the eq screen on the poweramp it starts leaking. along with that it starts leaking randomly. Today after seeing this post I rebooted and till then I have not experienced it again. Please let me know, did u RMA it? or the problem solved?
If anyone else has a opinion or a suggestion please respond.
On a side note, my speaker volume is terribly low, I didn't know there was a shutter sound exist, until I read from the forum today.

Yeah it's with poweramp. I contacted google and they said try a new pair of headphones but I ain't buying a new pair my current ones are working fine and after using a custom ROM with Cyanogenmod I haven't experienced it again.

I have a similar problem with my nexus 7, after buying a new audio jack/ micro USB port assembly. About two days ago the audio just stopped coming out of my headphones and instead plays from the speakers and I have know idea whats going on, if it is the assembly then I've wasted $70.
Bump Galaxy Tab A SM-T550
Same here.. Android 4.4.2. with PowerAmp.
When I'm listening "poweramp" I put to charge the audio leaks from the speaker
Just had that happen on LineageOS 14.1 (based on Android 7.1.2) OnePlus 2
While watching a YouTube video.
After doing some tests I found that it was happening when a notification was received during playback. The notification sound was coming through the phone and after that the media sound was also coming from the phone.

[Q] Disable all headset controls on rooted S3 4.1.2

Okay so here's the situation. A while back I dropped my phone while earphones were plugged in. It must have damaged the headset jack or something because now when I plug in earphones, if you even slightly move the phone around or have it on you while running or moving around, it activates all sorts or things, from pause/play of music, to starting the music player, to Google voice search. Its incredibly annoying, and I've tried several sets of earphones and the problem persists. I'm all ready rooted running a version of the stock ROM. I don't have any headphones that have controls on them, nor do I intend to get any so I would like to know if it is possible to disable all headset controls. Appreciate any and all help.

Maybe try replacing the headphone jack. I purchased this part from ebay last year when my S3 headphone jack would not play audio through headphones. I have had no issues ever since. It's fairly simple to replace and only a few bucks.
Gotta ask, are you sure you are not pressing a button on your earphones to activate any of these settings? My SkullCandy earbuds have a pause/play button that I was previously unaware of.
Just wanted to update. I ordered the part you listed and it fixed the issue. The repair was a breeze too. Thank you so much!

Pixel No Sound through speakers

Hey guys,
So today my Pixel has been acting weird. I was listening to spotify on my phone's speakers and it suddenly got really quiet. Then a few minutes later they acted fine again. Now they wont emit any kind of sound, even the boot noise. But, when I plug in my headphones or bluetooth to my car all the sound works. Any ideas? Im running 7.1.2 rooted with EX and viper. I tried using SoundAbout to force sound through the speakers with no success.

try flashing the full stock pixel image and test speakers. (give it a day as it may work for a bit after flashing.)
this may seem like a software issue since it may work after restoring stock for a bit but it probably isnt.
if you still have the issue and its likely you will, contact google or your carrier depending on where you purchased it, to get a replacement. this is a known issue due to poor soldering.
Thanks Exad. Reverted everything to stock, did a factory reset, and nothing. Google is just going to replace it. Thanks for the advice.
