I am having quite an interesting problem with my Kaiser. Yesterday, after doing a hard reset on Dutty's new WM6.1 ROM, my external speaker seemed to have stopped working.
I can make calls, and hear the other party through the phone speaker, but I cannot hear my phone ring, mp3s, screen taps, or the speakphone. Basically, any sound that is supposed to come out of my external speaker does not work. Sometimes I hear crackling, and some faint distorted sound, but this last for 5 seconds, and then all sound stops. If I'm on a phone call, everything is ok and I can speak and hear whoever I am talking to, but the second I turn the speakerphone on, sound will stop or crackle then stop.
I did a hard reset, and got nothing. Reflashed the ROM, same problem. Flashed to a different radio, same problem. Then I flashed back to the original HTC ROM and radio, and still have the same problem.
Obviously, I am thinking its a hardware problem. Their weird thing is that I haven't dropped my phone or done anything different to it. It spent the entire day in my pocket. Since I'm in Canada and cannot purchase the phone here, I bought it from a third party through eBay and therefore do not have warranty. I will probably take it to a local phone repair shop tonight, but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem, or if anyone has any suggestions as to how to fix it.
Any help or input would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!
I tried to call for the 1st time today.
When I call to someone, or vice versa, other party can hear me, while I hear nothing at all via ordinary phone speaker (on the front side). Volume changes does nothing.
If I tap "Speaker" - I can hear other party via another speaker (on the rear side of the device).
If I plug the headset in - agian, it works normally as supposed.
Is my phone speaker broken or do I miss something? I played with every settings I could find, but nothing helps...
Did anyone have the same problem?
Acer Liquid, 1.6 orginal rom. I didn't have a chance to reinstall rom yet, so it should be just fine. I did install a few apps from Market.
I had exactly the same problem.
I was using ROM LCR 1.6.
I have just reflashed my phone and still the same problem, I think it is broken.
I've bought my Acer Liquid two months ago!
sounds like a hardware problem with the phone speakers. Normal calls should be heard through the speakers above the screen. speakerphone/ringtones/media sounds go through back speakers.
Had the same issue- returned it for another one.

I had a same problem. My phone speaker does not work.
Hi guys,
Just to let you know. I contacted Acer and they immediately told me that I need to send the phone to them for repair. (maybe it's a know issue).
I did that. 3 weeks after got the phone back. It works fine now.
On the paper I got with the phone they said that the part changed is "reciever"
So for those who have the problem - send your phone back.

I encountered this problem today....
I thought it was a hardware problem...
A Full Wipe cleared the issue..
You should try a full wipe before conclude that its a hardware issue...
I had this problem as well on my Acer Liquid E. Mine was a hardware issue, as when i would grip it tightly or press on the earpiece I would get intermittent sound but there was static. I did 4 wipes and nothing solved it.

Sry for that! Just don't grip it tight
We all know its a very fragile device...
Acer should have engraved "HANDLE WITH CARE" on both side of the device.
I have fixed the hear speaker
Hi all! I had this problem with my Acer Liquid, I had no warranty so I tried to solve the problem and succeeded. It's not software or configuration, it's a broker hear speaker!
Symptom: You can hear the person on the other end with Loud Speaker, Bluetooth Headset and Hear Phones but you can't hear via the Hear Speaker.
Problem: Broken Hear Speaker.
His problem is reported all over the Internet but with no solution beside sending to Acer.
I risked and fixed it myself by dissembling my Liquid and find a compatible hear speaker.
Big Problem: No spares parts anywhere for this device.
Solution: Blind search for a spare hear speaker by looking at pictures and compare with broken one.
Big Solution: This speaker is also used on a series of iPaq (HP) PDA's and i found a website that sells them quite cheap.
I found two compatible models of speaker and i leave the links here.
I bought these two:
www*repairhppda*com/front-speaker-for-hp-ipaq-voice-messenger-p-1822.html
www*repairhppda*com/internal-speaker-for-ipaq-910-912-914-910c-912c-914c-p-1235.html
!! I can't post links so remove the * and put dots on the links.
I've only used one so can't say which i used because they are very similar, but one of them works for sure the other i can't guaranty but I'm almost sure it also works.
(it seems like it could fit but don't know and can't confirm... did not buy this one)
I disassembled my Acer Liquid, replaced the hear speaker, and Bang! It' Works!
Notes: Be careful when disassembling your liquid you could easily break something, take steps slowly and carefully.
If you need any hint, speak here, i'll try to answer as soon as possible.
Cheers!
I am having another problem. The people from the other side hardly hear what I say, they say my phone is too noisy, especially at the beginning of the call. The quality is ok for me, I can hear everything very clearly.
I don't know if it is a hardware problem or just (hopefully) a problem with the baseband or something like that.
I have the same problem.
I tried to flash a different baseband and apparently it started working ok but after a while the noise was back again.
The strange thing is that the noise seems to pop up only when I call from certain places and not from others.

Yes, it's a very annoying problem. Since the other party cannot hear me clearly, now I have to go back to my HTC Touch HD until I found a solution for this.
I bought this Acer Liquid as a 2nd hand one without invoice, so there is no way to return to Acer for a repair service.
Yesterday I received a call and I couln't ear anything, then I tried to callback (thinking it was a network problem) and I still couldn't ear anything. I used the loudspeaker and it was working, also plugged my headphones and I could ear the other party.
I then called Acer complaining, they told me the phone needed to be repaired (the quickness on the response made me think this is somehow usual), that I should put it in a box with the RMA code written on it and that they would send me DHL to pick it up. Today DHL picked the phone, so far everything as been dealt really fast and I can't anyhow complain on Acer support, lets just see how long it will take till I get my phone back.
Hi,
Anyone has encountered crackling in the earpiece ? I am getting it everytime I place a call the moment I press the call button.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Cheers

I was going to make the same question but found your post.
I recently bought two galaxy S and one of them has a problem with the earpiece: when making a phone call there is a crakling sound (like an interference or electric spark). This does not happens all the time and it is very low but when it starts usually it continues into the conversation and sometimes can be quite anyoing.
I realized this because I have two phones at home and becasue I test every bit of hardware of them , in order to exchange the phone asap if I found a hardware problem.
Maybe this is a common fault: take you SGS, make a phone call and listen very carefully to the earpiece before the rigntones start. Do you hear anything? I can hear a soft crakcling or pure silent depending which pnone I use.
As it is now, it is not a big deal but I am worried the crakling sound would increases in the future. Do you think I should try to exchange/fix my phone now that it is on warranty and I have not root, mod, etc..?
I got mine fixed by Samsung service. Replaced motherboard.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to fix the hd7 phone speaker? I cannot hear any sound at all while making calls. Also iam afraid that it is outside the warranty since I bought the phone outside.
Thanks
I've been fighting this now for weeks. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this and it seems that IF I receive any messages or emails that I don't check, then the speaker stops giving any sound. If I then open up the messages and emails and then retry the phone, most of the time the speaker will start working. I use Google Voice and I'm not sure if there is any connection with it. That's my 2 cents worth, and I hope the update fixes this.
i also had problems with my hd7 speakers in which the external speaker of the phone suddenly went totaly dead. as in dead that you wont hear any sound even after resetting it. tried doing almost all known troubleshooting to no avail. that is the time that i decided to have it fixed at the htc service center here in the philippines. i bought mine in ebay, getting it fixed would also mean getting ready for any repair charges. had it fixed, took 2 days and my hd7 is now good as new.
Hi there,
I have flashed my ROM to 4.4 official but afther that I've got a very bad problem with my sound.
After I answer a phone call or call someone myself, my cell phone's sound doesn't come out of speaker and it comes from the hearing speaker on top of the cell phone (The speaker that when we call someone hear his voice from it). This problem continues until I restart the phone.
What's my problem? What can I do to solve it?
Oh the pain and agony you must be going through now.
