Okay so I ran into this REALLY weird issue with my call speaker yesterday
Yesterday, when I got home I placed my phone next to my keyboard and forgot about it after a while. When I wasn't behind the computer, someone called me but phone stopped ringing after 2-3 seconds (Possibly they had wrong number) BUT right after the phone stopped ringing, the call speaker began to emit a high pitched noise. I grabbed the phone and tried to stop it by taking out the battery. I also found out that the frequency of the high pitched noise changed every time I moved my phone just a little and then it stopped completely by itself
Today, when I was on the toilet, I received a call and in the middle of a call, the call speaker began to emit a REALLY loud noise (It sounded like the beeping of those really old soviet electronic alarm clocks). I only heard it but the person on the other end couldn't hear it. It got either quieter or louder depending on how I positioned the phone which is a sign that both these incidents are caused by a single issue
I never had this problem before and I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware issue since I tried the volume keys too and it seemed to ignore the volume controls or plugged in headphones
Any idea what could be causing this and how to get rid of this issue? I might not be able to send it for repairs so any "ghetto" repair guides are welcome

i normally don't hear it when the volume is set no more than half. but sometime the person on the other line is speaking too soft and i need to up the volume. the top speaker sounds like it's loose or rattling when the volume is set at more than half and holding the phone to talk against your ear. i'm guessing the word for that is distorted? is this normal for all g2x or just mine? you can try it out just by calling voicemail and up the volume.
i did a search but the speaker questions other people ask were for the bottom speaker.
if it sounds like there is actually movement from the speaker I'd exchange the phone. if its just distortion I'd chock that up to the fact that that is a very low output speaker so it wont handle high volume well.
I have the same problem I didn't notice it for the first 2 weeks I had the phone because I use blue tooth or head phone mic a lot I noticed about 4 days ago. it is annoying conscidering we pay a lot of hard earned money for these phone. When I bought my phone I was broke until my next pay check.
Hi Forum,
This is my first post so forgive me if this is in the wrong place
My phone is roughly a year old, and today I ran into a weird and potentially phone killing problem
I received a few phone calls from my girlfriend today, the ringer rang loud and clear, but I heard no sound from my ear piece. After a few "Hello?"s, I hung up thinking it was a bad connection. Upon seeing my girlfriend afterwards, she said she heard me on my end. So I got her to call me again and I tried to use speaker phone, and I could hear her fine.
Doing some research on google, I only ran across one other person who had this problem, and upon seeing this, I tested my music player, (as theirs didn't work), and mine doesn't work either
This other person said the problem resolved itself a day later.
In short, my ear piece has no sound during a phone call and my media sound doesn't work (though it works w/ headphones.) My notification sounds and speaker phone DO work
Do the notification and speaker phone speakers come from a different place than media and ear piece speakers?
Do I have a software issue?
Should I wait like the other person?
Any suggestions?
Thanks forum!
Were you able to resolve this issue by any chance?
Hi All
I am on my second handset, as the first one had a huge gap between the screen and the frame which held lots of debris so exchanged it.
I didn't make that many calls with the original handset before i exchanged it, so did not have a chance to use the speakerphone for a call. However, today I made a call on speaker and noticed that the volume is really low until you get to full on the scale and then it suddenly jumps up loudly and sounds like it has been enhanced? In call volume through the earpiece isn't exactly stunning either, have to have the volume either on full on one below.
I tried playing music through the speakers and it sounds absolutely perfect, equally as loud as the first handset.
I'm considering exchanging again, as I definitely think that the first handset had much better call volume (can't be 100% sure though), but I just wanted to check here to see if others find the call volume not so great?
I noticed that when I'm sitting in a completely quiet room, when I play a video and set the volume to 1 bar, the sound is so bad you can hear literally only buzzing and other wierd noises. It's absolutely fine at higher volume levels, I guess the noises just don't get louder. And I'm wondering, because I have this phone for like four months, and I'm not sure if this got worse than it was at the beginning. May it be due to cleaning the dust with compressed air? Should I remove the cover and check if everything is ok?
Also, it can be heard better if you're holding the phone right by your ear, please check if it's the same for you.
It's really noticeable when listening to people talking, hard to notice when listeting to music.
So I did read a recent post about this phone having a buzzing sound when on-call with another person regardless of their carrier. Unless its a problem with my carrier, I'm close to taking it back in to have it fixed. The noise is bad enough that I have to hold the phone away from my ear and turn up the volume. The recent article I read said they would be fixing it and it's still not fixed. . . :silly:
