[Q] What is happening with my X8 speaker??? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My problem starts when I'm using Froyobread v023b by doixanh and when one time that I played music, the speaker of my phone suddenly mutes while playing. So I try to discover why it didn't work and when I tap the back of my phone(at the speaker side) it suddenly produce sound again. It also happened when I play videos or playing games. At first I suspected that my speaker was broken and I decided to restore SE's stock rom. But when I used my phone for one week in stock rom it didn't had any problem at all. So I guess maybe the problem was on the rom. After that, I flash GingerDX v017 by doixanh and there was a time that it stops producing sound while playing music again. Does anyone have the same problem or any solutions?? I don't know what's happening with my phone's speaker. please help me! thank you!

idk whats wrong i was on gdx v017 and suddenly the speaker stopped producing sound !

Edit : ok flashed stock rom and kernel using seus and relocked boot loader and still no sound produced from the phone's speakers i guess the speaker got screwed somehow, i'mma send this phone to be serviced and when i get it back I WILL SELL IT @ ANY PRICE JUST TO GET RID OF IT AND WILL GET ANOTHER PHONE THAT IS WORTH GETTING I WASTED MY MONEY AND TIME WITH THIS PHONE , DIDN'T EVEN LIVE FOR 6 MONTHES......
NOT TO MENTION ALL THE CUSTOM ROMS HUSTLE.....
thanks and sorry for the caps it's just making me angry the speaker totally died and i never even dropped the phone or use volume @ a high level !

If had plans to get another I would chose Xperia mini for some reason :/ I like the SE's layout of the phones much more than any other android I can get.

Maybe the rom is making something wierd about the speaker. I might send my phone to the service too. :-(

I had exactly the same problem! If I tap on the back it works! However this is only in custom ROMS in stock rom i dont have this problem!
I also created a thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222402

lol this is about a day ago it happened, but my silly little sister spilt fizzy drink on my x8 and i got p%ssed off with her. then i realise that the water had gone into my speakers of the phone. then i really got p$ssed of because the phone started producing a high pitched sound whenever i tried to play audio. so i rebooted my phone and once i rebooted my phone the sound went back to normal and i was like wtf?
this dosnt really produce a point on what problems you guys are having but i just wanted to share that with you guys so i didnt have to keep it on me since i though it was weird.

oh god.. i had this probs also..
is this hardware or rom/kernel related problem??

I dont think its hardware, it must be software since this is in custom ROMS only. However I don't understand why tapping the speaker makes it work if this is software

same problem..here
i use gingerdx v22...........

This is a hardware problem. If you have tried a few different roms and kernels and if it still happens then its definitely the speaker in the phone. If its under warranty you should get this sorted for free. You could hand it into a phone repair shop or like me i would open and see the problem first hand.

suddenly the call microphone is quiet

i hope my question is in the right place here.. if not, i'm really sorry.
I am a very frequent user of this forum and of custom roms.
I flash a new rom ever 2-4 days, and try to get the "best" solution.
few days ago i noticed that my callers don't understand me well anymore.
i tested it with another mobile phone and most time it's impossible to understand.
i hope anyone can help me.
wfg Axos
I have same problem..is there anyone who can help........plz
thanks
thank you to everyone who looked to this thread.
I have the same problem, I notice this after my bluetooth headset got disconnected. if it is connected it works ok, but not disconnected. Im thinking that it's something with the rom. dont remember which rom i got, but this is the second rom for me. The same both times, and it's 6.5 im using.
anyone got a clue what the problem is?
i fixed the problem today... after several attempts with reflash with no luck. i realized that the sound output was looped back somehow because when i pressed some dial keys the reception phone got the keys, but no sound.... strange, soo i also tried to play some music for my friend, and voila the microphone just turned on again.
I have no idea why or how i did, but now it works again, even with switching bluetooth headset on and off.
Hope the microhone stays this way.
only one day after i wrote this, the microphone died again :-( i have restored the phone to original rom, the same problem so to bad it must be an hardware error. I will send the phone to service. We will see if they can fix it. Good luck to you other guys.

[HELP] Really really low volume on my G1!

Hello great xdadevelopers, first I wanna say I love this site, absolutely, its perfect and helpful and interesting. But thats off topic, so lets start about my problem.
It's about two days ago I got to rooting my G1, downgrading and then installing the rom "[NewMethod][MOD][PATCH]CM5.0.7/8 AnySPL (NoneDanger)" (the one because it was anySPL and that was reasonable for me because I have HardSPL)
Everything is totally smoooooth, really great I love it, its fast, battery is ok and everything works just fine, except the audio. It started the day one after installing the ROM (Yes I did wipe and installed + gapps, etc.) my volume on the speaker was a little bit lower (but the in the software the volume was on max) but I could hear it, so I was hoping for the audio hack because I wanted my great loud g1 speaker back up, so I did the v3r2. Today morning I went to bus and wanted to put my headphones on .. I started the music, and nothing.. I swear nothing.. the phone recognizes the headphones but I can't hear anything! and when I unplugged them I tried to hear it from the speaker.. I really concentrated and I could hear the song but very very low volume, barely hearable. I am really confused and Im requesting and begging someone to help me out with this, I use my phone 50% for music and I need the sound! HELP!
UPDATE: Im still playing with the phone and now i realized... the sound doesnt come from the back speaker but from the front one ! HUH
FINAL UPDATE: Okay, I have just totally wiped the phone (battery, cache, 2nd cache, etc.) and installed the same ROM from scratch + gapps.. booted into phone, everything else fine, just the audio isnt good.. still coming from REAR SPEAKER!!! HELP
Thanks in advance,
xda fan.
all i can suggest is switchin to a different ROM. there r plenty that dont need the DangerSPL.
Fine, I was afraid i bricked my phone after some time, because i was trying everything, but I rerolled back to STOCK.. so now Im without Root and all that stuff, but my speaker works and everything is ok..
Could you list me some ROM's that support HardSPL? Thank you in advance!

[Q] No sound anymore

Hey all,
So here's what i did. I've been running perception 9.5 for a long time now with no issues until today.
I went to change my ringtone and i was selecting different ones to hear, then all of a sudden everything went quiet. I plugged the phone into the computer and the sound came back for a bit but then it went away after i tried to change the ringtone again.
Now i flashed serendipity 3.0, thinking that maybe perception borked on me, yet i still have no sound.
Any help would be great =)
Try pulling the battery cover and pressing firmly on the speaker when it occurs.. If it fixes it your speaker is coming loose at connection.

Thanks soo much for the reply =)
I did what you said, both when i knew there was no sound and when i set an alarm. I'm not quite sure if the alarm is what retriggered the sound, or if it was pressing the speaker but my sound appears to work again =)
Thanks so much!

It's a hardware problem, so I think the best fix would be to exchange it for a new one through your local AT&T store or an AT&T warranty center.
Sorry to keep brining this up.
It seems like my sound only cuts out when sound is being played (naturally). But if i press the app draw icon to make that little pop noise over and over, the sound doesn't seem to cut out. If i talk on the phone, or play a ringtone it does.
Maybe it's software for me?
Could be. You try rebooting yet? Other than that I guess the only way to know would be reflash the rom or go back to stock and test.

[Q] No Sound from my I9000, fix?

I'm really hoping someone can help with this, because it is driving me insane! I will try to keep this as brief as possible, but feel free to hit me with questions.
So 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy S I9000. I have had issues. At first the home button didn't work so I had to get the screen replaced. After this I installed DarkyRom v10.2.2 Extreme Edition TouchWiz4.
After I installed the Rom the sound went (can't remember if it was instantly after the install, it may have been, but I suspect not. It may have been after a day or 2. No longer). The sound worked through the headphone socket, but would not come out of the speakers. I figured that it thought that the headset was plugged in. I installed Cyanogen Mod (as it has the headphone indicator) and lo, there it was. Headset indicator was on, despite not being plugged in. Tried some fixes (compressed air into the headset socket, plugging in and removing headphones). No dice.
Took it to a repair centre, and they fixed it. BUT, when it came back, the LEDs lit up whenever the screenlock was engaged. They looked at it again and said that it was a problem with the mainboard and wasn't fixable. Got into quite an argument with them as the LED problem did not exist prior to taking the phone in, so they agreed the headset repair for free. I am not convinced of their honesty nor that they actually replaced anything.
Obviously quite annoyed at this point, as I basically now have a battery drain. Anyhow, decide to reflash it again, see if it fixes it, so I flash DarkRom 10.2 Resurrection Edition. OMG The LED problem is fixed. Sound still works at this stage.
I then flash DarkyRom v10.2.2 Extreme Edition TouchWiz4 again. Boots up. THE DAMN SOUND HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN! I have not plugged headphones into it, so it cannot be the jack socket. I have only just brought the phone home again.
I have reflashed back to DarkRom 10.2 Resurrection Edition and I still have no sound. I am now thinking this may be a problem with the TouchWiz4 Rom, as I am at a complete loss why the sound would have gone between the Resurrection to the Extreme edition. I haven't put Cyanogen back on, but I am pretty certain that it will tell me that the headset is plugged in.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get sound back on my phone, because I am basically back to having a useless brick? I have tried searching but cannot find anyone asking a similar question.
Many thanks, and apologies in advance if I have broken any n00b rules! If any further information is required, fire away.
Cheers

Ok. I have done nothing since posting this message and now the sound just works again. I'm not going to risk reflashing again, but if anyone has any ideas why I am having this issue then I would like to hear it, because I am not convinced that the problem is going to go away for good!
Hello again!
As I suspected, this problem has not gone away.
I still have not plugged anything into the headphone socket, so I think that can be ruled out as an issue.
The sound has gone on it twice now, since my post. The first time I took it out of vibrate mode and enabled sound. I noticed that the keypad wasn't clicking. Tested it, yep. Stuck in headset mode again.
I went to power down the phone, and noticed that when I hit reboot the keyboard click had returned. When it rebooted sound was back on.
The second time, I was playing the ultra-lame App ARShooter. Sound went off midway through playing it. Again, I heard the keyboard click comeback when I hit the reboot option when powering down.
Sound came back again.
There is clearly something wrong with this phone, and I would love to know how to fix it, or if it's even possible, or where I should even start looking. If anyone has any ideas of what is causing this problem, then please let me know.
Thanks again!
Flashing back to stock?
Hi there.After one and a half month i noticed that the one speaker of the headphone provided inside the i9000 package was not working.Also the i could barely hear what was the other person was saying.I tried a normal headphone with the simple 3.5 audio jack(no mic) and it worked fine.Also i used it in the car and stereo works fine,but if i put a 3way 3.5jack then it doesnt really worked.I flashed a 2.3.4 simple honey rom but it didnt work .I tried to go to the secret codes menu using *#*#197328640#*#* but the AUDIO directory is not opening!I tried pressing on it and typing {5} (it the number of the directory) but it doesnt open whatever i do.I tried voodoo and although it works wonderfull at playing music i still cant use the mic+headphones that came with samsung or another one i bought to check if the first is faulty.Now i want to revert back to stock so i can take it to the samsung shop for repair;What drivers do i need and what do i do to take it bac kto stock? stock rom that came with my phone was xwjvi 2.3.3
Thank you!

[Q] Audio jack stopped working ! HELP !!

this happened a few hours ago and i've been runining around to find a solution.
i was going through my day enjoying my music on the SGT through my headphones. and suddenly, connected the headphones, and BAM sound is coming out to the left headphone ONLY. i know about pushing the jack all the way in.done that with 3 different headphones..nothing!!!i have overcome 4.1 on my SGT. tried installing the rom again, played around voodoo sound a bit..nothing.and here i am helpless and depressed!! if anyone please give me a hint on what to do !! and again..this happened out of no where all of a sudden!!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Maybe lost the physical connection for the contact to the right headphone, would have to re-solder if possible. Then again, this requires physically opening up your tab and checking everything going to the headphone jack. I advise against opening it if you don't know what you're doing.

damn. didnt want to hear that...but could this happen suddenly ? i mean the tab wasnt exposed to anything that would cause the jack to disconnect.no shocks no falls no water nothing !!
anything can go wrong at any time with electronics...sometimes it just happens. I've seen it working with computers for over 10 years. Something fails for no apparent reason and it can't be explained.
EDIT:
It's a long shot, but try taking out the battery for a few mins, then putting it back in. It's worked for weird glitches I've had on my phone...
Have you try another ear phone set?
