hey guys, my xperia u's external speaker has became very low, and even the ringtone is not audible from like 5-6 feets away. i tried flashing stock ROM and the speaker volume improved a bit, (i know AOSP and CM ROMs have low volume) but its still not that ok. My guess is that its a hardware related issue, and in that case i should get the speaker replaced, so my question is, how much will it cost? and if i get it replaced with a duplicate speaker, will it work if i change ROMs? and if its a software related issue, what else can i do other than flashing stock ROM. Also, the speaker feels distorted apart from being very low. Currently using stock ICS. Thanks.

Maybe you could try any apk like Speaker Boost and see the changes...
Otherwise , you can find some cheap broken Xperia on ebay

Hey,
I'm having a problem with the extremely low in-call speaker volume on my GSM hero. Anyone got a solution to this problem?
The amount of information you communicate is overwhelming.
How about a headset?
what kind of information would you like? the phone is rooted, i've tried a whole bunch of different roms and kernels and still no difference. At the moment i'm using WildHeroWWE 1.2.1 and LV 0.4.7 . And I would really like to be able to use the phone "as is"
Yeah, ROM and kernel were the informations I wanted to hear.
Not that I'm aware of the different settings of ROMs or kernels in the audio area, however I tried to find some informations.
As you said, there is no change in the in-call volume on different ROMs.
So I would count the software part out.
Maybe you got a defective speaker?
Let's try something out: While calling change the output to the external call speaker. It should at least be a bit more unquiet. Maybe you can compare the different loudnesses (loudnesses?! ) ... if the external speaker acts normal there is definitely a problem with the internal speaker.
Have you tried to raise the volume with the left button?! You didn't answer to your old thread, so I think you did.
Well, it's like this, everything seems to work, the in-call speaker volume is just a little to low. I can hear everything that is said when i'm talking on the phone, if i'm in a totally quiet room or something like that.The sound is infact quite clear, I would just like it to be a little louder. If i set the call to speaker, the volume is normal, i'ts just the in-call speaker volume that is too low.
Really hope some of this stuff makes sense...
Anybody know where i can get a replacement speaker for my blade.Past a certain volume the speaker gets very distorted,like a blown speaker.Thanks for any help.
I got my provider to replace it for free. Maybe you can do that too.
I had the same problem, but for some reason it was linked to cm7 rom.
after i flashed one of the new 2.3.5 roms all the crackling seemed to be gone :S
guys, i'm using the cm7.1, 2.3.7 rom. But my audio isnt clear via the earphones nor through the phone speakers. What can be done, please reply...
For me it doesn't vary from ROM to ROM. It happens all the time. But i've problems only with the speaker. Does the faulty speaker come under warranty?

I have that prob too. When in cm7 using dsp manager bass boost or volume+, I get distortion on full sound. But if you lower the sound bu two-three clicks it seems to disappear (the distorion)
hi all xperia s users. i've recently become an owner of this phone and i am very pleased overall with its performance and design.
but during phone calls the speaker isn't loud enough, especially while traveling on the bus and in other laud places.
but i have noticed that when i play music from the phone's speaker it is much louder, so it is not an issue of the hardware, but the volume seems to be limited during a normal phone call.
so can the volume during taking phone calls can be increased in some way beyond its current maximum value?
cheers
lucas
+1 to this issue. The speaker phone is very subdued compared to music when its played through the speakers.
I am on 62 firmware, has this issue been fixed in later updates?
any help guys?
yeah I have noticed the volume is low, never used to be!!
Anyone found a way to fix this?
speaker volume
since it works fine in walkman and videos it's not problem of the hardware as it is obvious....i had an lg 2x before xperia s and i flashed a newer baseband and the noise in calling gone and the volume fixed....even when i install cm9 ics the speaker in calling got even louder...so i think it would be kind to search for a better solution by software such as try some basebands or kernels...but to flash this we need root...so if you hope for a fix root required otherwise we can stay as we are now...
This is a flaw that Xperia S came with. The Loudspeaker during call. Cant really say if its a hardware problem or software.
I've looked around, and while I've found similar threads in MotoX, I havent found anything similar for the Samsung S3. Ever since I upgraded to android 4.4.2, my in-call volume has been very low. Unless I'm in a quiet room, I am unable to hear a thing. My speaker is fine, as is the volume on a head set, but the volume from the ear phone is very low. Has anyone encountered this recently, and if so, what was the fix? I've tried changing ROMs, going back to 4.3, etc, but nothing seems to reverse the problem.
Thanks all!

Change your Kernel with the one which is can tweak the volume.

Any recommendation? I used boeffla, but unfortunately that only changes the volume for headphones and the rear speaker, not the ear speaker

I've been struggling for a few months with this 2 issues.
The first and more important is the rear speaker. I usually have my phone in silent/vibrate state so I cannot be sure when this problem happened. But the rear speaker is so low volume. I started to think it was because I was running a CM based build, so I've flashed Viper, still low, flashed stock and still low. There's no distortion or anything like that, it's just very low.
The 2nd issue is that people complain a lot that they can't ear me well, so I assume mic is having problems too.
Is it possible to be software related ? If not, does anyone knows if HTC offers international warranty or some kind of service ? I'm from Portugal and bought this 2nd hand last year, have no kind of purchase proof. Only have phone+box
