Speaker doesn't work!

Yesterday all worked fine on my defy. Suddenly this morning, I can't hear anything from speaker during a call (the Handsfree instead works). This is an hardware problem. My phone has never dropped or I never immersed it under water, I always keep it very well.
Many other defy's owners have this problem with their phone:

I've got the same problem. I'm taking my phone back tomorrow.

Why does this seem to mainly hit Euro phones? I know there are some differences between the US and non-US phones, but the hardware must be the same. Right? Mind if I ask you guys a couple of questions?
Have you been using the stereo headphone jack before this happened?
Have you "messed around" with the headphones just to see if the mechanism that cuts out/mutes the main speaker when the headphone is inserted could be "freed"? I know this isn't quite logical as the main speaker still works on speakerphone, but... you never know.
I presume people have tried factory resets in the unlikely case that this is a software issue?
And... if you pull the battery and look at the sticker inside I presume it will say "made in China", but is there another, manufacturing number?
Mine says: TA80800V9R qtQ 0UG B13
SJUG6039BA 0101 Made in China
It also has an FCC approval sticker which I assume yours do not have.
Thanks

I've never used the stereo headphone. The factory reset didn't resolve the problem (but the sound come back for few seconds if you squeeze the screen during phone calls with the thumb and index finger).
Under the battery I see:
TA72002JEF sTJ OTU B04
SJUG6015AA Made in China
and there isn't any FCC sticker. Can you post a photo of your phone without the battery?
I want to see this sticker.

How long have you had your Defy? If you don't mind me asking.
Also Che, how long have you had yours?

at the moment,one week, i didnt use the earphones and never put down on the water.
regards

From a week. I've never put it down on the water too.

Phone was bought in Spain and made in China. Used the headphones a fair bit before problem started, for music and radio. I can actually see that there's a part loose. Maybe it's a batch problem and we got the bad batch here in Europe.
My problem started after nine days. Annoying thing here is that they'll repair the phone rather than give me a new one, which means a two week wait to get it back.

I use the headphones, have dunked my Defy in water several times and a Starbucks cup of hot coffee. Works fine. Had it for over a month. (USA T-MO)

can we make a statistical representation of how many US and NON-US Defys are having the dreaded speaker problem?

OK here's a better version: http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2010/birulki-96-en.shtml#2

Awesome, my speaker is dead too.
Never dunk it but used the headset for days before the speaker went mute.
I'm from Brazil and there are other reports of the same problem from other brazilian consumers, so that's probably a big batch of defective speakers shipped worldwide.

Very good!! I send it back to my seller (pixmania) and I hope that it will give me my money (there are too many defective units in europe!!!)

It seems that the US version has the problem as well, but not nearly to the extent as other countries. Is that because it has been available and is more popular (midrange phones don't seem to sell as well in US) in other countries? Not sure.
Anyway knowyourmobile and phonesreview picked up on bgr's post and are also running stories. Hopefully moto are working to figure this out quickly.

I'm on the fence...was gonna buy one tomorrow for a Christmas present and even though there aren't many issues with ones here in the US...still makes me a bit cautious about getting one as I'll be doing it at full price if I do.
Life is a gamble though right? hehe

I am now following you on Twitter. I send my One X back for repair last week. Got it back today, unfixed. The repair center (Dynafix) couldn't find the symptoms and they send it back unrepaired, while I attached a letter and some pictures explaining the problems. Despite that they couldn't find it, I am really asking myself what kind of people work there. On Twitter I contacted HTC a few weeks ago and they asked me to let them know how it went, so I told them this story. No reply yet, but it's just minutes ago.

Updates won't fix this, it's plain and simple a hardware problem, took me quitte long to accept . How long do you have your phone? DOA is normally only the first two weeks. I made a small movie reproducing the wifi problem, just press your phone just above the volume rocker and signal shoots up more than 20 dBm, which is really a lot.

It doesn't matter which router I try. WiFi Analyzer doesn't log in on networks, it just shows signal strength. And that signal strength is just way to low on every router. See also this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538

New Router works much better with my HOX!
Hi!
Bought a new router today Netgear WNDR3700 and it works much better.
I don't have to use static ip or any of the known tip to make wifi usable.
SO, i've not heated it up yet using charger and GPS, so lets see.
Speaking of GPS, today i turned on GPS and oh my god how bad it was.
So something is terrible wrong, but WHAT?! No one is telling us nothing.
For thoose who can press and hold it must be hardware related, but mine, is it just poor programming?
I'm so regretting my choice of device now.

2 G4's - different cameras and screen temps?

I am hoping you can help me diagnose two problems with 2 G4's owned by my GF and me.
Similarities: Same device. Same software build. Same camera settings. Same screen brightness.
Differences: Phone on LEFT was purchased in August 2015, phone on RIGHT in June 2015.
Problem #1 Significant difference in screen color and brightness. The phone with the good camera is on the left. I believe the phone on the right has the better looking screen. Are most of the G4's warm or cold?
Problem #2: "UFO Effect" on night shots. Obviously sensor on top pics is better. But why? All of the camera settings are identical. The phones were placed right next to each other. Each photo shows halos around lighting. Auto mode, HDR Auto, Flash off.
Do we return one, or both? Thanks...

Just in case.... Make sure there's no piece of protective plastic on camera lens.

It sure looks like there's a fingerprint on the second camera's lens.

Yeah I second that. I took my G4 out last night for pictures to see if I could reproduce the issue. I was able to get a similar lens flare to that simply by having fingerprint oils on the lens. Cleaning it solved the problem entirely.

Man, here I am on XDA looking like a fool, it WAS a smudge even though the lens looked fine....
Before my posting abilities are revoked, I went to the VZW store about the screen tint and they offered me a replacement but it's "Certified Like New" because this happened at 25 days and not 14...
The other option is to ship my device to an LG warranty center where they attempt to "repair" it and if not, send a brand new replacement. This will take ~3 weeks where I will not have a device (my old phones are all GSM).
Anyone have experience with LG Repair or VZW "Like New"?
I lean towards the latter....as much as a used phone sucks, at least VZW admits it needs replacement. Who knows how LG will approach the situation.

I had a refurbished S5 which server me well until it sank under the weight of TouchWiz. I don't even remember why I had the S5 replaced though, lol.

Update - the Verizon store confirmed the screen issue (warm/yelow tint) and sent a certified like new replacement...which has EXACTLY the same problem.
I have looked at maybe 10 G4's now and all are normal except the 2 I received. So frustrating. Off to warranty replacement #2? Ugh
LG 's support has not been helpful at all. They don't understand English, and the only option remains shipping out for "repair" and waiting a few weeks.

And so it starts... LG's good ol manufacturing. I went through 5 LG G2's.. Was looking to get the g4, but not about to deal with this **** again..

5, wow. What was the problem?
My 3rd one is in the best shape yet. It's still not ideal, and VZW said I'd get a brand new one if this didn't work, but maybe the new one would be worse... Ready to just move on

Could you explain a little more about the difference in brightness ? how much brighter was the 'better' screen compared to the inferior one.
By more i mean if you had both side by side, with auto off, and just using manual brightness what was the difference in % level to get both screen to appear of the same brightness, to your eyes.

They'll just replace the screen, much cheaper than breaking open a new one. repairing the G4 is easy.

I find it happens with many devices. check the boards.
If you have the option of sending it in then that is good news. if you got as many replacements as you did that is even better news. I'm always amazed they agree to do this so many times.
The bad part is if buy from another country and no option to warranty at all or their service network is non-existent which can happen with some chinese phones.

Thanks for the detailed reply one twelve. I don't think the problem was brightness, but tone of the screen. I've already returned the devices so can't compare. I wonder if it could be fixed if LG let us calibrate the screen. Anyway, I'm sticking with the 3rd device. It's close enough, and a new one could present more problems.
Very disappointed in LG's support. I love their devices but it's a major negative in the next purchase decision. I agree, they'd probably just replace the screen...which is why I wanted a replacement.

how can you determine the manufacturing date of an LG G4?

also is there upgradable firmware in this phone? (not referring to the ROMs we are flashing, I mean the firmware for the phone's hardware itself, nothing to do with Android)

There is an App which is called LG phone info. You should see the manufacturing date with it

First 3 digits of serial number are year/month in ymm format. 507: 5 = 2015, 07 = July.

Are people checking because of the rumors faulty motherboard?

no, and why would it matter, your G4's rewritable internal memory can handle 1000's of flashes throughout its lifetime!

Well, mines is having crazy sections of bootloops for no apparent reason. When it happens it can't enter Recovery. It bootloops even from download mode. When I manage to successfully flash a Kdz, bootloops still come back again after some time. And guess the manufacturing date

check the date in http://imeidata.net/check?imei=<your imei> and go to warranty (or directly http://imeidata.net/warranty/lg?imei=<your imei> )

It was on May. Now it is totally useless stuck in bootloops. Maybe it is the most common manufacturing date and the buggy devices might represent a low %, but not all made on that batch.

I have had two g4 that were purchased at same time fail right at the 12 mos
They were both 508 date code
Luckly they both replaced under warranty
When they failed they would get stuck at boot screen "lg life is good" sometimes going through endless restarts or just shutting off where you need to pull battery to get it to try again
Data was recovered by freezing. I put in a zip lock bag in freezer for half hour. It would then boot normally. Needed to keep cold entire time, once it heats up it will stop. So use a bucket of ice or run your usb cable out of your freezer while downloading. Tried using a hair dryer to heat, but that method only worked once for a few minutes.
This is a manufacturing defect, some kind of bad solder joint or similar issue.
From my research, appears to happen more often in summer months, like you leave phone in hot car and a weak solder joint gives out. Heating and cooling works to temporarily cause the electrical connection to work through thermal expansion or contraction.

My phone won't wake up anymore.

Hi Folks I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having.
Five days ago I took my mate 20x (international version) off its charger(original) and noticed that it had turned off while charging. I tried to turn on the phone but nothing....
I charged it once again with another cable, another plug and repeated this 5 times with different cables and adapters. Then I held "power" and volume "down" to reset it, but that didn't work either.
Next up I connected it to two computers but no signs of life, I left it connected to my computer (win 10) for two days and later noticed sound that it connected to my computer. It evens softly vibrates when I turn it on and off. The screen however stays black and even though hisuite reacts, it says "not connected" .
Now and then the huawei logo appears but it's stuck on it, no configuration of button pushing wakes it out of it, except the power button which kills it again.
I bought my device in the UK, so Huawei Japan won't service it, or even look at it.
Do you think this problem can be solved by replacing the battery, or the symptoms a case of something worse?
Hisuite enters recovery mode but when I click recover it says "your device is not supported for recovery.
I am out of my wits....:crying:
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the quick response, I bought the phone on ebay, it was used. It was fine for 5 months so I don't think the seller sold it to me in bad faith. I don't know however where he bought it, and Huawei UK doesn't have the mate 20x in their line up.....

Try to go to recovery mode if possible and factory reset the phone..

Thanks tried that...nothing.
I guess it's really bad luck and I'm probably out of 600 euros... I haven't read of other people with this problem so I guess I just got a lemon and order a new one somewhere. I really like this device.

If its warranty left just contact huawei and send it to them for service.

Chatted with huawei, here you go:
I see. Indeed, the warranty will be regions specific in most of the cases so that might represent an issue in regards to fixing it there, but something should still be sorted out with the service center. The warranty will apply, no matter where the customer is living, but it's more a matter of sending the device to the service.
Yes, indeed. He needs to contact the service center either here: 0123 361 9320 or here https://sbeglobalservice.com/contact/

Thank you so much for going through all the trouble, now I have to figure out if there's still some warranty left. If there's not then this is going to be a costly thing...

You got your serial number? Should be on the box.
Give it to huawei and they could check warranty.
