Self-Changing phone speaker volume - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I've encountered a problem with my unmodded HTC One (Android 4.4).
During phone calls my ear speaker is sometimes automatically louder which makes my call uncomfortable. Does anyone know what could the problem be? Mabe I have an auto-volume adjusting option switched on somwhere?!
To inform: hard/soft reset didn't help.
I'll be thankful for any recommendations.

Need HELP with speaker distortion

I tried and search but nothing really fit my problem. My diamond all of the sudden incoming or out going calls are sound distort, but when I turn on speaker phone it's clearer and better. I tried change Radio, roms but the same thing. My ring tone doesn't sound distort either. Can someone out there help me or someone has similar problem? may replace speaker? software problem?
Best regards

[Q] Crackling from earpiece speaker

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.

Maybe there is some trouble with your Headphone input detection. Have you tried to use a headphone with it? Do you have sound then?
Thanks for the answer!
Yes, when i put my headphones in, i can hear the voice of the "caller" and i can hear music....but when i put the headphones out again, i cant hear him.
So i thought, perhaps my phone thinks that there are always my headphones plugged in.... but my music player plays sound through the speakers....strange?!
whats going on?! is there a different phone.apk i could try? but i flashed many FW and nothing solved the problem...
or does an app exist here i can test my external ear speaker?!
I vaguely remember a CM7 issue wherein you had to toggle mute to trigger the voice to work on calls. I'm sure your problem is different, since it's happening across multitple firmwares, but it's food for thought.
I would have also assumed your phone was thinking headphones were plugged in when they weren't. But if music plays through the rear speaker just fine, this must not be the case.
Whatever it is, good luck!
Does nobody know a method or a app with what i can test my "Earspeaker" ?
I have the same issue with my i9000M and have been unable to determine the cause. There must be a way to completely wipe the phone and restore a stock ROM in order to reset whatever setting controls handset speaker volume.
psss... noone is looking??? it is top secter Samsung's procedure, do not share:
1. factory wipe
2. flash stock firmware
3. factory wipe
I've got this exact issue.. proximity sensor is also broken and locks up the phone. I disabled it with a patch - but my earpiece is non-functional on stock.
Ideas? Hardware defect?
[Sorry to bump.]

[Q] No sound from top speaker when receiving calls

The other day i noticed really weird problem/bug when receiving incoming call.
When proximity/light/whatever sensors are covered (i.e phone sitting on desk with screen facing the desk) while receiving call, i get no ringtone sound from top speaker, bottom one is working fine.
I tried to disable beats audio, unchecking "quiet ring on pickup" and "pocket mode" in sound settings, i disabled some apps which might cause such behavior like Viber etc.
Oh, and i did factory reset few days ago, so this should not be the problem. Maybe it was present before factory reset, but i didn't really noticed because i changed my ringtone and it's really really noticeable with it.
Otherwise, i don't have any problems with speakers besides this one.. when i watch youtube, play games or listen to music everything is working as it should.
I'm 100% stock, unrooted - for now, running latest OTA (3.62.401.1).
What could be the problem? Anyone else with same issue?
Anyone?
Maybe your ringtone is mono, not stereo
Sent from HTC One 802w Dual Sim with my hand...
Nope, i tried multiple ringtones and same problem occurs.
Ok, one last bump.. this "problem" occurs even with latest OTA update (4.4.2), can anyone test it and report if it's normal or not?
I tried CM 11 and OmniRom and there was no such problem..
I confirm this issue on desire 820

I am facing the same issue on my recently purchased HTC desire 820. The only difference is that the top speaker never plays the rringtone during an incoming call. However i can get hear from both the speakers when i receive the call and start the speaker phone.
Did you find any workaround to this? I can hardly know if i am getting a call when i am outdoors because of this problem.

No, sadly i didn't solve this issue.. i have One M8 now and it also has this same problem, so i guess it's "broken" by design across all HTC phones with boomsound speakers.
Only thing that solved it for me was custom rom (AOSP based, i'm not sure about Sense based), so it's pretty clear that it's software feature, issue or whatever they call it.
i have same problem on htc desire 820
I jave same problem here on desire 820

Posting in the right forum could help
Desire 820 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820
The only suggestion I can give without knowing particularly this device is to go back to stock rom if you are using a custom one to look if its software related only. A factory reset is also something you want to try (backup your files first)

Microphone doesn't work

Hey folks,
I had the problem with the stock ROM and now I have the similar problem with jackeagels 5.5.1 (SM-G800F).
My microphone works sometimes and sometimes doesn't. People I want to call can't hear me. Eventually after a few calls they do. This is a state I don't want to stay in so does one has any idea what the problem could be? A while ago I pulled some dust out of the mic hole (with a needle) but that doesn't seem to be the problem here
Mines always been dust in the hole. Get compressed air can and blast it. Very annoying.
Hey Guys!
I have a similar problem but only when I use the internal mic, the problem does not occur when I use my headset.
Sometimes, the people I'm calling say that they can hear me very quietly.
Mostly, they say that they hear a constant noise or sound like a "bom bom bom" which is in the background. I can't hear this sound myself and as I said it does not occur when the headset is plugged in.
Any help is appreciated!
Regards, Jens
What phone model? What OS?
The main mic is at the bottom, near USB port. Recording a voice note without earphone, of course, works? The mic hole is dirt or blocked somehow?

Thanks for your reply.
It is a G800F with CyanogenMod 13.
I tested the issue after my initial post with the voice recorder in detail.
So the sound is a kind of buzzing like in the early days of mobile phones when you put your phone near a radio and you get an incoming call.
When I record with the voice recorder, then I hear the buzzing. It is stronger when I say something and quiter when I record silence. Then I also made the same test with my headset, and, unfortunately the buzzing also occured. The intensity was bit lower I think but the sound was there.
Unfortunately, I never tested it with the stock rom. Could this problem be related to a software problem? I'm not sure if I backup my CM and install a stock rom for testing...
Thx!
Yeah, the best way to mak sure it's not software is backup and going back to stock. If it still doesn't work then you have a hardware issue almost certainly...
