HTC Droid Incredible rear speaker

[mark2550]

Has anyone else expierenced the rear speaker crackling or not working at all, I've contacted verizion and HTC they act like they have never heard of this problem before but if you research it on the internet it is a problem as so much they have even made videos how to install a new rear speaker on you tube and e-bay along with other companies are selling these oem and non oem speakers

I'm on my third Eris (also made by HTC) because my speakers keep blowing out, It just might be some bad hardware going into these phones. I would take it into a store so that you can show them what it sounds like.

Will this fix my rear speker problem

[budone]

No it will not. I was going to say something, but I decided not to. So I am glad you asked.

It is busted, so the device needs to be replaced.

I worry of blowing the speaker out when I by accident cover the hole.

I am laughing so much on the inside right now.

Just another example of how helpful Verizon Wireless Customer Support can be.

Resetting the phone is their answer to everything.

Shenieka, I tried this hard re-set but guess what the rear speaker is stil garbled or crackling now I have to re-install all my apps, re-set my e-mail acount this problem didn't  happen until at least for me until the latest update of froyo

[AZSALUKI]

it's the hardware, not the software. they use CHEAP speakers. you either have to replace the unit or replace the speaker (i believe i once came across youtube videos of people installing better speakers into it when i was complaining about the quality and volume level????)

My husband and I both got the Dinc. when they were released last April.  Since that time we have both had ours replaced because of the rear speaker blowing out 3 times.  This last time I actually got someone @ Verizon admit that they have heard of the problem.  I love my Dinc. but what happens when my year warrenty runs out and I am replacing them every 3-4 months for the same issue and I still have another year left on my contract?

im on my fifth incredible because of the rear speaker. They (Verizon) told me I was the only one having this issue.
