This morning I woke up and the screen of my One S was on. When I checked why it was on I've seen that my alarm went off but without any sound.
I've checked my settings if I put my phone on silent mode but it wasn't. So I checked if I can play music, ringtones, videos etc. but still no sound.
I can talk on the phone no problem but the speakers for music, ringtones, notifications etc, just won't work.
I tried a factory reset and installed my custom rom again without any luck...
Any ideas how to fix this or do I have to send my phone in to get it fixed?
haven't had this happen, but did you try fix permissions from recovery
otherwise, if no one else has a solution you could try a nandroid restore
or, better--wipe all including System and reload fresh. Factory Reset won't clear System
or, just wipe System and reflash rom, I don't think data, which Factory reset wipes, would be the issue. not sure

Mine did the same thing, if you press the lower part together you will hear it come back for a bit and then stop again. A wire has come loose inside is my guess, if you are a heavy data user and heated it up maybe? But I called tmob and got a replacement phone sent to me, but I am still upset about it since I only got this phone in april and I already broke it.
Same thing happening to me. I noticed that when I'm in a call though and I play music. The sound works but when I try to play any audio without being in a call it will not work

I tried to press the lower part together, didn't work though. I have not used data it was the first time I turned the device on ans boom no sound;(
I am not quite sure whether its hard or software related because you cam hear sound while in call but it got broken while my device was turned off being in a package....
Is there a way to route the sounds throughout the upper speaker?
Possible solution
Hi guys, my girfriend has an Htc One S and suddently this night the phone started to sound at verry low volume when she received a phone call. After a close inspection i realized that the sound didn't come from the lower speaker but from the ear (upper) speaker. Strange,no? I've tried the settings, reseting the phone ,but nothing... A after a while i've tried one last thing that actualy worked and spare us from a trip to the service. You have to place a call on the One S , answer that call., turn the speaker on and off again in the call then close the call. And the magic happens. Your sound is back again in the lower speaker(the loud speaker). All this indicates that it's a software problem. It's the first phone that i've heard reproducing the ringtone or player sound in the ear speaker. Hope this helps all you out there with a sound problem. Cris

please does some one have a clue?
EDIT 1:
what can i do? i always used venom rom, and all ok, now since my phone came form htc support, because of the home button problem (they changed the screen, battery and the chassis, and they fixed)
now i cant use the venom i have done 3 clean install and nothing(( ..... iam going to try the TrickDroid_9.1.0 and see, if it happens again iam screed
EDIT 2:
i notice that if i clean caches and install the bulletproof kernel it stays ok, for about 5m, then the sound goes way... ?!? there must be something that is interfering with the sound services?
just found out in other foruns, that if you press volume all down, and them volume up, the sound starts working again, but some minutes later, the same no sound
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc...d-speaker.html now iam going to remove every app and see if theres one making the problem ... it will take some time . if anyone as a clue please help!
just removed all apps , the problem precisest.... goig to try trickdroid and see what appends, does anyone have a clue!?!?!??!
EDIT 3:
i tried the stock kernel and the bulletproff, removed all apps, tried 4 clean viperone s installs with multiples recovery's, tried a factory reset from the bootloader with the original recovery, tried with the trickdoid. and nothing works!!
what can i do please some one!?
no sound, after 5m of fresh install ? tried all roms, recovery, etc
some one please help! my problem is not with this rom, it is prefect., after-all my problem is bigger .
i have tried aosp roms and sense roms, i have tried different recovery's, and kernels, removed all apps, with all i have the problem...
a minutes after a clean install the sound suddenly stops working, especially if go to the dialer
i have to install a new rom or a restore, but +/- 5m after fresh install, the problem starts again
when i relock the booloader, with a twrp backup of the original rom untouched it shows a "security warning error" ? and wallways reboots to the bootloader
some one please!?!
Sorry for my Bad english. Maybe the connection of the speaker is not really fit. The speaker is mounting on the back bottom side and fitting with two flexible contacts. Try to press or shaking the cover when you get sound after it something in there is broking or not fit.

Mine had the same problem. I notice that the sound quality from the Rear speaker deteriorates day after day and so i took out the back cover and put it back again the sound seems working fine but on while playing music it just suddenly stopped and since then no sound at all from the speaker i even took out the back cover reinsert it again and again but to no avail. No SOUND.
wipe cache
This is a problem from flashing. If you reboot into TWRP and do wipe data once or twice (not just Dalvik and the cache, but also the .android_data), the sound will work. You could also try rebooting the phone.
I had this problem with the builds from the first week in July. I would just flash a later build (from TWRP be sure to wipe at least 3 times) then flash the latest build.

Hey Guys -
Black 16GB Nexus 5 here. My in call volume using the earpiece is very very low since the 4.4.2 update. I have the volume maxed out and have already cleared cache, and even data reset once. Did not help at all.
The only way to use the phone making a call is to use a headset or be indoors in a very quiet room. Even then it's hard to hear the caller using the earpiece. I always have to use a headset for making calls.
I remember the in call volume being louder before the 4.4.2 update. After the update, however, the microphone functionality is improved and people can hear me better now (compared to 4.4.0 stock). However, it's hard for me to hear them.
I just wanted to see if someone else faced this problem or whether this is a manufacturing defect in my phone.
Thanks.

Do you use stock kernel/etc? May have been a bad update with software, may have to reflash if persists. But before that, try wiping data/cache of sound MusicFX (I believe is the sound production point) and reboot. Try again to see if sound improved. Check volume levels and settings as well.

Thanks for replying.
Yes I am on stock Kernel. Just used Chainfire's root to root the phone and unlock the bootloader. I used ADB/fastboot to apply the 4.4.2 update.
The sound is fine from the speaker. The music and everything else is fine. Even the notifications are a little louder in 4.4.2 than they were in 4.4.0.
It's just that the earpiece volume is very low while making calls when I have the phone to my ear. Everything else is great. The battery is excellent. I use ART runtime.
Should I reapply the 4.4.2 update using the ADB install method? Will that help? Can you please tell me how to wipe the cache of Sound/Music FX? I wiped the cache of the whole phone. I went into Recovery and Wiped cache partition. That did not help as well.
I am wondering whether this is a hardware defect on my phone or Google intentionally lowered the earpiece volume in 4.4.2.
Thanks.

Not hardware defect, volume is fine everywhere else as you said. Try redoing and push after wiping musicfx, this can be done by settings> apps> go to all tab>find musicfx> wipe. Try that first and reboot.
Ice looked around and it seems Kitkat has bug with Bluetooth volume levels for stock. My other solution would be, if you want, a custom ROM, or to check out ViperFX to replace the musicfx as default sound effects (under settings and sound tab) (which contains Bluetooth MODs and Super Quality mode). Personally used this and works amazingly with Nexus 5.

I've also started using viper4Android in the High quality mode. It works really well with Music. But it doesn't do so well when making calls with earpiece. The voice starts to distort, cut and crack. So while using calls, I generally disable phone speaker in Viper4Android.
I just cleared cache. Will try to install Android 4.4.2 again. As I said before, all sounds are ok (music, phone speaker call ring, notification etc). It's just the earpiece volume which is really low. Are you able to make phone calls fine using the earpiece (without using a headset)?
Thanks.

Yes, but Viper audio is best with Super Audio (its not battery draining as claimed), its just as normal as high quality yet call quality is excellent. Try this as well. I've used headset now and again, no issues so see how the reinstall goes. But I would highly recommend the super quality very much. Try and see if you like. Also, if you have no objections, custom kernels have great sound support (such as faux sound) that can also fix and greatly improve sound/Bluetooth quality. Report when reflash done and methods you tried.

Thanks for the suggestions. I installed Viper4android with Super Audio. It definitely makes a difference while using the headset. It doesn't do much to the earpiece in call volume. That remains the same.
Other than that I've cleared the cache and wiped cache paritition. Is there any way to just reinstall 4.4.2 on top of 4.4.2 again?
My phone is stock recovery rooted with chainfire's autoroot. When 4.4.2 came, I just installed it using ADB and stock recovery (update using Zip). Can I do this again without losing any data? Or will i have to reflash system to stock and then start over?
Thanks.

Thank you. If I do this, I won't be losing any data and the phone will work as is?
So I need to extract system.img from the factory image of 4.4.2 from the google servers.
Then the ADB command is:
fastboot flash system system.img
Could you please confirm before I do this. Thanks.
There is a thread in the theme and apps section which has a mod for louder volume on all outputs... Worked brilliantly for me
Hello everyone!
I bought my Nexus 5 a few months ago, then everything was working five. But about a month ago I started to experience some problems with the audio on my phone. I couldn't get any sound except for the ring sound and alarm sound. I did some research and found out I should download an app called soundabout. This changed the audio output or something so that I could get the media audio through the speakers and phone call audio through the earpiece. This worked and I thought I've solved all the problems, but unfortunantly when I tried to listen to some music with my headphones I couldn't get any sound. I tried to change the settings in the app, but nothing worked. Either no sound at all or the sound came through the speakers even though the headphone were plugged in. Today i rooted my phone and installed Cyanogenmod with hope that this would solve the problem. It didn't..
I've done alot of research on the internet, but I really couldn't find someone with this exact same problem. Have anyone experienced the same, or have an idea of what I could do? One option is to send it for repair, but that would take some time so I am looking for another option.. Could it be a hardware issue with the headphone jack, even though it worked at first?
Thanks in advance for replying!
Well first try removing the app. If that doesn't work try a factory reset / factory image restore. If that doesn't work, then it's a hardware problem.

I have done that before and the problem occured before I installed the app. So I guess I have to send it in for repair then. Quite strange that a hardware problem could occur so sudden..
It's not strange at all. Audio ports can take a lot of abuse. I thought mine just started to act up recently. In the end it turned out to be a loose jack on the headphones and not the port itself. I called Google to inquire about the issue before I checked the headphones. Here's a copy of what google tech support sent me for troubleshooting before RMAing it:
Thank you for contacting Google.
If you are having any audio, speaker, or microphone issues with your device, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: If your device is rooted or modified, revert your device to original factory image.
- Troubleshooting steps may not work on rooted/modified devices.
- You can re-image your device with the instructions from the following link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Step 2: Check for system updates.
- On your device, go to 'Settings' > Scroll down to 'System' > Touch 'About phone' (or tablet) > Touch 'System updates'.
Step 3: Remove obstructions.
- Remove any cling film, stickers, covers/cases/bumpers, or anything else that can be obstructing the device.
Step 4: Restart the device in safe mode.
- With the device on, hold the 'Power' button to get the 'Power off' prompt.
- Touch and hold 'Power off' until the 'Reboot to safe mode' prompt appears.
- Touch 'OK' to reboot in safe mode.
- Note: To exit safe mode later, simply restart the device normally.
Step 5: While in safe mode, turn off Bluetooth.
- Swipe down from the stop of the screen with two fingers to pull down the quick settings menu.
- Touch 'Bluetooth'.
- In Bluetooth settings, if Bluetooth is on, touch 'On' to switch Bluetooth off.
Step 6: While in safe mode, make sure the volume is on.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers to pull down the quick settings menu.
- Touch 'Settings'.
- Under 'Device', touch 'Sound'.
- Touch 'Volumes'.
- In 'Volumes', slide all three indicators all the way to the right to make sure all sound is on and at max volume.
- When each slider is adjusted, a sound will be heard.
Step 7: Check if the issue is resolved.
- Play with the volume levels to hear sound.
- Make a test phone call.
- Use Google Now to test your microphone.
If the above 7 steps didn't work, a factory data reset may resolve the issue:
Note: Performing factory data reset on your device will remove all of your personal data.
1. Go to 'Settings > Backup & reset'.
2. Touch 'Factory Data Reset'.
3. Touch 'Reset'.
After the factory data reset is complete and your device reboots, sign into your device using the same primary Google Play account you used to sync your purchased apps and other content.
If your issue has been resolved, great! Let us know.
If performing a factory data reset didn't resolve your issue, do one of the following:
- REPLY TO THIS EMAIL
- CALL us and reference this email and mention you have gone through the troubleshooting steps.
Nexus 5 does not respond to headphone
Tried all those options mentioned above, still no luck. Anybody got new news to make headphone work in Nexus 5? In my case headphone works with SOUNDABOUT app, so I don't think its hardware issue? HELP!!1
Thanks in advance
They take 2 min to replace
So u think its a hardware (Head phone jack) issue?
Be sure the headphone jack is completely inserted
I thought my Nexus 5 headphone jack was broken, so I took off the protective case to be sure it was not preventing the head phone jack from being completely inserted. I noticed that it took some extra effort to get the Jack to click. That did the trick and it works great. I felt pretty stupid because it wasn't the case or jack, it was me not pushing it in all the way.

Hi everyone, I'm here today to explain a very annoying issue with my OPO. I notice you that I have already tried every ROM and Kernel combinations, including the restore of the official ROM from fastboot. And yes, i've tried also a device reboot, of course!
So, from yesterday my OPO suffer of these problems:
- When I receive a call or make a call I can't hear anything in the headset. If I use the speaker, it works very well;
- The proximity sensor is switched on during a call but if I cover it the screen does not turn off;
- dial pad touch tones doesn't work;
- touch sounds doesn't work;
- screen lock sounds doesn't work;
The strange thing in this whole mess is that the ringtones work and feel perfectly, even the alarm.
Also, i've tried with some application such as audio manager or audio control to to control system sounds and lift them to the maximum level.
Now it's your turn, please help me to find the solution!

Hi developer dudes. I'm new to this site and all this rooting stuff. I've been searching for a way and trying different techniques to boost the headset volume on my phone. I've successfully rooted and installed recovery mode. I've tried installing a couple volume boost zips off some forums on here with recovery and the zips actually decreased the headphone volume. they had a link following right after with a zip to revert to stock. one of the revert zips restored my music volume but totally disabled my ear speaker volume, however one of them fixed everything so my phone is okay again. it just makes me iffy and hesitant with trying out more custom roms.
I've also tried ES File Explorer and changing the HPHL and HPHR to a higher number with guidance from youtube and it didn't do anything. I've also tried mtk engineering (some number that starts with*#*# and ends with *#*#) and it doesn't work for the xperia z2.
Please help me out developers with this. I want zip to install that simply raises ONLY the headphone music volume WITHOUT changing the sound quality of music.. I believe 128 is the volume limit manufacture have it set to and 160 I believe is the highest which is what I'm aiming for. All I want is louder music through my headphones, that's it. everything else about this phone is perfect as is.
Thanks for taking the time to read and thanks for your support!
