[Q] Ear Speaker Crackle

[aidicula]

Hello all

Got the S2 recently...was an HD2 user (with android) and am really impressed with the performance of the S2..though I am not too happy with two things.
- Battery...i just got the VillianRom installed..and I hope to see an improvement there..
- Ear speaker jarring...the ear speaker seems to crackle at certain frequencies. I checked the whole forum and there were some others with the same complaint and was asked to use the Volume+ app..which I have and to be honest i dont see much of a diffrence..the crackle is still there. I want to be sure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue...and how can I really solve it?
Can someone help?

ah.. another fellow s2 holder that has this issue.
YES! I have the same problem and its driving me crazy!!!

its random, and its buzzes, crackle or even sounds like the earspeaker is blown!

What have you done with it? I think I'll probably go change it but just checking here if you have found the solution?

there's one person with a vibrant saying he blew hot air into the earspeaker and it solved the problem (dunno if its advisable) and he didnt say how did he do that.

I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. I use Spotify non-stop on my SGS2, no crackling thing.

I'm not talking about the back speaker, its the front one where you listen to when you're in a call.

Hello! I have the same problem! Like it is distorting. I will take it to service centre today.

I really can't remember I posted that, my bad.

ok I got back my phone from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).

And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!

Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.

Thank you for your answer! I have the same problem. They dont belive that is something wrong. They changed the speakerphone and no solution. Now they tell me that must be something wrong with our network, which I dont belive... I was also suspecting that all have the same problem, they just dont recognize.

Thanks a lot!
