Sounds like blown speakers

[nate0]

Just did one more test with groove. Top speaker is bad one on mine. Bottom one is fine, not sure if that is the norm? Still think it may be software caused as the buzz continues for second or two after the sound has stopped and I get the distorted buzz sometimes when set to vibrate.

Hey there. It's a known issue on the Idol 4s. I read in other posts that it's hardware related but not sure what exactly. Something is sending a large/hard/heavy signal to that speaker, so maybe a board component.

I take it every one has moved on?

Still there. I have adapted to live with it.

It is quite the opposite for me. Top is fine and bottom is bad.

My phone is under warranty period, but I live out of the US. :straight:
