Its been two days my phone's volume of speaker reduced so drastically with disturbance . Calls are not effected i have tried every media YouTube and everything . Can't do anything. What should i do ??
Which rom?
No rom official software bro
Hmm.. sounds like a hardware issue, tried to clean the speaker with a toothbrush? Play a song or something else, put your mouth on the speaker and try to "suck" carefully (yeeeeeessss I know it sounds funny but try it haha)
I found that even tho the phone is IP68 waterproof, if water gets into the speakers, they get really quiet and far-off sounding.
Try taking it out of it's case (if applicable), drying it thoroughly, using a dry toothbrush, and leave it out to dry for a few hours. Put it in a bag of rice overnight. See if that makes a difference?
Bag of rice was not available. I tried dryer and it worked ??.

Hi
I have a XDA III which was working fine till last week when a few drops of rain water fell on the phone, the problem that i am facing now is that i am unable to hear the ringing sound of the mobile nor the voice of the person speaking directly, but if i use the headset, then i can hear clearly.I think there is some problem with the speakers, please let me know the way to solve this issue

your phone can be moist, you should take out battery and use hair dryer to dry the phone in some minutes or put the phone under the 75W bulb for some hours.
if that dusnt work and your speaker actually got wet n buggered up u cud open ur B.A, and very easily remove the speaker, then weld the wires onto a different speaker, then put it all back in n put ur b.a together.
if your speakers buggered then u got nufing to loose, just get a diff speaker from sumwere of about the same size, i've done it heaps on times with other phones, etc.
if you do bugger it up tho take it to a repair place n they'll do it for really cheap.
but thats only if its your speaker thats buggered, if its as the guy above said then eh, this is useless =P.
So for some reason my nexus one does not properly sense that my headphones are unplugged unless I pull them out with the plug rubbing against the right side of the jack, and to make it worse when the phone boots up it usually thinks I have headphones plugged in. This wouldn't be an issue if it didn't cause the earpiece to stop working for calls and the speaker to stop working for music unless I insert and remove headphones from the jack, and if I don't carry them with me and my phone reboots I am out of luck.
Is there any way to sidestep this without sending it in? Someone suggested to clean it with alcohol on a q-tip but I'm afraid of a water sensor hiding there like my old iPhone; anyone know if that's the case with the nexus one?
The best solution would be some kind of widget or application that lets me change whether the phone has headphones plugged in or not, but I've never found one..
Please help!
It happens to me for almost 6 months now. I still couldn't find a solution ... if you don't have your headphones with you and phone reboots, you can shut it down again and remove the battery for 2-3 minutes. Mine will reboot correctly after that.
I searched for a software that switch between headphones and headset, but still couldn't find one. I would pay for such piece of software. No luck until now
I have this problem also. I'm running CM6.1.1, and never saw this until CM 6.1 when they introduced the FM radio app that requires the headphones to be plugged in. With stock or CM6 I didn't have this issue. Don't know if it's related to CM or not, but it's kind of annoying having to keep headphones around to fix this.
Do you use any kind of task killer? I used to have problens with headphones when I used them. After I found out they do more harm than good, I stopped using and never had headphone problens again.
I don't use any task killers, I haven't used one since I was completely stock. Now with the latest Android, they don't really work that well anyway.
Thread moved to Q&A, as this is a [Q]uestion.

Don't kill me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that the Nexus One's moisture sensor is in the headphone jack. Also, a q-tip with a tiny drop of isopropyl alcohol would be your best bet to clean out whatever is making the device think that the headphones are plugged.
I actually had the same problem for a little while and q-tip + isopropyl alcohol, combined with spraying some compressed air (being extra cautious to have the can right-side-up) solved the problem for me.
Even if the moisture sensor is in the headphone jack, I highly doubt that a drop of isopropyl would set it off, given how it has such a high vapor pressure and thus evaporates so quickly.
Good luck fixing this!
I replaced the broken lcd of my ex-gf nexus and didn't see any water sensors inside of it.
But ya, isopropyl alcohol shouldn't trigger it anyway.
Thanks for moving this. I didn't notice until I saw the PM, so I might as well post an update:
Rubbing alcohol on a qtip with most of the cotton removed did the trick! Whatever it was that was causing my phone to trip is gone.
Also, I confirmed on the phone with HTC that there is not a moisture sensor in the headphone jack, so anyone still having that problem, try the alcohol and see!
So I dropped my phone in water, it remained there almost for 10 seconds. I have already heard about that nano coating stuff so i was not worried but when i checked if everything was ok or not I found out that the lower speaker was making some buzzing sound. I used a hair dryer to dry it out but it won't work. I have kept my phone in a container with some dry rice but I don't know whether it will be ok or not. Please give me some suggestions because I love those stereo speakers.......
if I can't save them, is there any way too block the lower speaker????
Thanks
Alright, this took me off guard as it was an "accidents".
So, this is how it went,
I was in a parked car drinking juice, somehow i spilled the juice on myslef and it went in me jeans pocket, while my phone was upside down in my pocket, i didnt notice it olny after a min so i dried ot up with tissues and i went home, upon reaching home i inspected my phone and this was the damage, my speaker was rattling if played music the s-pen was soaked and i didnt knew anything about the headphone jack.
So, i start drying it with tissues, i rolled some tissues and shoved it in the s-pen jack and its working all fine and i blowdried the speaker and its working fine now but after i cleaned the headphone jack with tissues, well its not working, when i plug my headphones in the phone does not recognise the headphones at all and it plays music throught the speaker,
WHAT DO I DOOO. PLEASE HELP.
EDIT: this is around 7 -8 hours after the accident and the headphone jack is now perfectly fine,it just needed time to fully dry
So, if you happen to have the same problem as i did
Please, just roll a tissue and shove it in the jack and roll it around do it a couple of times and just let your phome to sit , and your phone should be perfectly fine.
Hello,
Maybe someone can give any tips in regards to the issue below. with my nokia 8
So few days ago my phone speakers started sounding distorted, I thought that it may be because water got in the speakers, as I put it on the counter by a shower, but even then the water it could of gotten was minimal due to the shower curtain and yeah. Well now the speakers are completely offline. I haven't installed no apps or updates.
Today after sound was already gone, I tried some apps that disable headphone jack, which ofc didn't work.
The earpiece is working and mic is working as well. When I plug in headphones, those work as well.
The weird thing is I tried blowing into headphone jack and I got sound for a brief period of time.
Now started more testing and well when I apply air pressure (covering headphone jack with my mouth and applying small amount of pressure) speakers work. Tried cleaning the headphone jack and nothing, only when air pressure is applied it works.
As a tech guy I can't imagine what could be wrong in this case, as there are no visible signs of water in the jack, there is nothing physically wrong with the phone other than the lack of sound and why would applying air pressure fix it and how to permanently fix it without warranty. I don't want to take it to warranty as the service usually takes a long time and I can't do with a temp/spare phone right now.
Hopefully someone can help me out,
Thank you
Even though your phone might have been only a bit splashed, humidity from the steamed bathroom could easily get inside, since Nokia 8 is only IP54 certified.
Try drying it like a water dumped phone. Turn it off, take out the SIM card tray and put the phone in rice. Let it lay down for at least a day. It might work, but if it won't, well, you might need a repair service.
well for oxidation you don't need to drop your phone into toilet, even small humidity can brake your phone, electronic is very sensitive
