Ok, the speakers on this phone (D6603) were bad to begin with, crackly as hell from a month or so in, I've still got about 6 months of my contract left (2yr) and the phone is out of warranty.
So now the top speaker is making a static noise for a few seconds after I press most buttons, even ones that do not make a sound, or when the phone is on silent it still does it...
Is there a fix for this? I'm happy to replace the speakers, but would surgery fix this particular problem?
Thanks!

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.
Hey there my phone has been making a clicking sound ever since i dropped it from about 10 feet or so, the audio was working fine for a week or 2 and then it started coming and going til it finally stopped and was making a clicking noise, how or can it be fixed?
The only non speaker noise, should be from the camera`s auto focus system, like when you select to use the camera it can make a clicking sound as it initializes.

ok but the clicking coming from the speaker and sometimes i get a static sound, will replacing the speakers fix my problem or is it pretty much a done deal?
have you tried a battery pull or a reset to factory settings, if that does not fix it, you need to get it replaced or repaired.

Hi,
I've noticed a "crackling" noise in ear speaker. My ear speaker started crackling very bad and it was hard to hear the person I was on the phone with. Even with the volume turned down about half way, I could still hear a little crackling sound but could barely hear the other person.
Does anybody have the same issue?
I do

It's a phone issue (EarPiece), just replace it.
I've ordered (price ~ 1 USD + delivery ~ 2 USD) an Earpiece in China and successfully replaced it (it took me about 10 mins to replace by myself). Now everything is fine.
:laugh:
The some problem with my Nexus 5X.
Ear speaker during calls crackling very bad.
I will send it back.
Hope the new one don't have this issue.
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
Well I dropped my OPO into a creek in about 2 feet of water. After being submerged for about 15 minutes I thought it was toast. I put it in the ol' bag of rice for a few days and to my absolute amazement it booted right up and works flawlessly except for one issue.
The loudspeakers are so quiet at full volume you can barely hear them. Earpiece speaker works fine. I popped the back off and took the speaker assembly out and removed one of the two speakers. It looks fine and there is no moisture in it. If I set it on the board contacts at full volume I can barely hear it play.
Do you think a new pair of speakers would fix the issue? Can I test the board outputs to see if its putting out enough juice to run the speakers? Any thoughts or input would greatly be appreciated!
Hey - same happened to me! Except much less water! I put my OPO in a damp pocket after heavy rain (!) and it seemed to be a goner. 2 days later after putting it in a bowl of rice it works fine now, phone speaker and microphone work, only thing not working is the lower/music speakers. Headphones work fine too. Any easy way to replace/fix this? Heard a loud crackling/static noise coming from the speakers after the initial water exposure if that means anything.
I'm another one looking for a solution to this issue.
Anyone found one? Thinking about trying to replace the speakers, but not wanting to faff with that if that isn't the problem.
Word of advice to everyone. Don't drop your phone in the bath!!!
I am in the same situation as well, sent it for speaker replacement and the repair guy showed that even replacing the speaker module will result in low volume output. Nothing can be done unless replacing the motherboard maybe?
I sent it to a local shop, not the service centre by the way.

This happened to me as well. I was biking and crashed, falling into an overflowing ditch, completely drenching my pocket and my OPO inside.
I immediately took it home (my laptop got drenched too ;w; that one's at Asus being fixed) and left it in rice for the rest of the day, only to find that the speaker played, just barely audible at full volume, and the microphone and ear piece worked perfectly fine. I bought replacement speakers shortly afterward and replaced them, but, like kaz93 said, didn't do anything, it was still really quiet. It must be on the logic board or something.
I'm probably just gonna get the Google Pixel when it comes out XD
Speakers are the most sensitive part of this phone. I also had to replace mine after watering the device. You can afford them cheap for just a few bucks on aliexpress and they work perfectly
