I dont know what happend suddenly the speaker phone stopped working when I Was on speaker phone mode. I restarted the phone and tried all different kinds of ****. Finally I popped open the back camera cover and I could see the speaker. I was playing something on my Windows media and I could not hear anything. The moment I touuched the speaker with the stylus it started playing loudly but the moment I pull the stylus back it stops working. Can some one please explain me what is the problem with my speakers. Do I need to replace them ? if yes then where can I get them replaced in United states.
Yes mate, I had the same problem. I have a HTC Charmer and my speaker died while using tomtom. I openned and discovered the same thing, that touching the speaker causes it to respond again and dies again. Its basically the speaker "moved" too much for its own good and the wire carrying signal to its coil got damaged/broken.
While you could temporarily fix it by trying to glue the broken wire, it may not do any good. And can't solder it as the wire is stuck on the speaker cone surface which is plastic. For a few days mine worked by placing a flexible peice of plastic in such a way that it constantly applied very light pressure on the place where the wire was broken, and the contact was maintained, but obviously such a solution is short lived.
At present I am also looking for where to buy a spare speaker from, but can't help you in this regard as am in UK.
Hope this helps in some way.
Happened to my Prophet. It's currently away for a warranty repair.
Seems like a very common problem.
[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.
Im having erratic headset issues. when i have my headset plugged in and trying to listen to music in any music player program, my phone randomly starts making phone calls, it hangs up by itself and my phone makes all types of crazy beeping noises. also while headset plugged in it randomly opens up another music player, it will play for a few seconds then cut back on and back off and back on so ill have two different music players going at the same time. Its not the settings inside of either music player causing this! ie resume music when headset plugged in or vice versa... Does anyone have any idea why this happens. i have a lot of music on my sd card and need to get my headset working properly.
any help? bump
don't know what would cause that but maybe a hard reset will fix it?
thanks ill give it a try
I know people complaining of that too. THey plug in to listen to music and put phone in their pocket and all kinds of crazy sh*t happens. The head jack is like super loose and buggy or somethinn!

Did anyone talk of a fix or anything?

I'm having the same problem. My headset doesn't respond while the phone is on, but as soon as I turn it off (standby), it starts calling the last person I called and stopping/starting music.
PS: I can't wait till this phone is unlocked so we can get some roms on it and actually use it to its potential.
Double pressing the call/play button on the headset will call the last person in your call list, so maybe that is sticking somehow. Maybe see if another stock sensation headset works.

At first I thought it was sticking, but then why would it not work when the screen is on? As soon as I turn the screen off is when it starts freaking out.
I've also just noticed that there seem to be two different headset modes; if you don't push the jack all the way in, the icon in the task bar will only show headphones and the call button will not work, but if you push it all the way in, it shows a full headset with a microphone and the call button will work. I'm wondering if maybe you're jack placed somewhere between these two points.

It's the full headset icon.
Right now I'm uninstalling apps that I've recently installed/updated. Maybe it's a compatibility problem with an app.
It seems the problem is just ****ty manufacturing. Same problem with multiple headsets. Even when screen is on. It happens when the jack is bumped/twisted/moved/breathed on too hard.
Sucks. Contact HTC and get a replacement headset.

Fixed, kind of.
If your headset does this, try these steps to fix it:
1. Cut a small strip of clear packing tape.
2. Wrap the strip around the rubber part of the connector on the headphones. The tape should cover a few millimeters of the rubber part and extend out beyond the metal connector. It shouldn't touch the metal part, but surround it.
3. With an x-acto knife or box cutter cut the tape, leaving a couple millimeters extending out beyond the rubber part of the connector.
4. Fold the tape inward toward the metal connector. It should just reach the metal cylinder, without covering it. If it does cover it a little, that's fine. Just don't let it cover too much metal.
5. Wipe off any adhesive that may have gotten on the connector before you plug it in.
6. Plug it in, and hope for the best.
I've attached a pic of what it should look like after. Tell me if it works for you.
I had a similar issue, unplugging the replugging usually fixes it for me. Bit of a hassle, but oh well.

its junk mine will display microphone when it wants rarely, always shows just headset what rubbish...For the money this **** should work...now i gotta spend more dough on a BT stereo adapter and drain my already worthless battery..three cheers
Hi there. I had the same issue with the htc headset and the one from my vibrant. Please, verify the hole in the back cover where the headset jack is supposed to be connected. Do you see a shiny bit around the circular edge (exposed aluminium)? If so, call htc so they can replace you back cover for one that doesn't have the aluminium from the back cover exposed there. When the metal from the jack gets in contact with the metal from the back cover it creates a short circuit and you get erratic behavior. A temporary fix I used was to put a small piece of tape to cover the exposed aluminium and then plugged in the jack. It worked perfectly. Hope this is helpful. Good luck, people!

I wonder if some clear nail polish on it would solve the issue...
The tape on the connector works pretty well. It's only freaked out once since I taped it.
I was thinking of the same thing (nail polish). But don't sweat it. Call htc and ask for a replacement. It won't take you more than 15 minutes and all they ask for is the S/N. It will take only like 3 or 4 days to arrive. Btw, glad I could help
I just realized I have same issues. Though I am using iPhone headset, so can't say for sure. But it's annoying. Doublepress = next track + dial last called number
Does anyone have issues with the audio when using in-ear earbuds? I noticed a slight static feedback (not sure how to describe it, its very slight, it doesnt distort the noise but its like a layer of white noise) when I'm actively using my tablet while having my earbuds on.
It occurs when I press on apps/unlock screen but later it goes away. However when when listening to music the white noise is always there. Is this normal?
I've already returned one of my tablets because of this and now that my second tablet has the same thing, im not sure if this is normal or am i just that unlucky.
I have noticed that there is a very quiet subtle ticking sound coming from the top ear piece at all times, even when the screen is off. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this/ can test to see if their device does the same. I've checked my other phones to see if the same thing occurs and noticed that an old moto g (2014) also has a similar sound so I'm thinking it could just normal if the phone is not turning off the speaker and instead is just silencing it with the current still running throught the speaker module.
It's mildly irritating now that I know its there so I wanted to see if all devices have it or not, thanks.
