Default Earpiece is cracking

I have had the evo since the day it came out. Just recently my earpeice speaker has a crackling in it. Will sprint give me any problems cause I am rooted? will I have to load the stock ruu on the phone before I bring it in. I would hate to have to start all over again. But it is hard for me to talk on the phone. If someone knows if they would just replace the speaker or if they would give me a new phone?

just do a back up and then go stock and bring it in.

if they see it is rooted they will blame that as the issue.

No just nand backup, stock it, get it back, root it, run band, your good to go. Backup your nand folder on a computer if it makes you feel safer too.

Hopefully I will get the same phone back and not a new one.

I get popping/crackling in my on-phone speaker every other call it seems. If I hang up and call again it sometimes will go away. I'm rooted stock.

I figured it was the network and not the phone. Let us know how it goes...

Well I returned my phone back to stock without any root, I also took off any folders/files on the sd card that would show that I had root. I went to the sprint store, they looked at my phone and after 30min they said, "ok, we are going to get you a new/refuribished phone" and I had the choice of getting white, which I am getting. Should have it by Tues or Wed. Then I will be rooting it. I can't stand having my phone stock. I miss my cm6 turbo
