Losing the sound on your smartphone is a big issue. It can prevent you from making a call, enjoying your music, or hearing incoming alerts such as texts or news updates. There are some very specific things you can do for both Android phones and iPhones, but there are also basic things you can try before moving forward.
Both manufacturers recommend that you reboot your phone by turning it off then turning it back on. There may also be debris in the speaker ports that you’ll want to cleanout. Also, make sure that it’s not a problem with your headphone jack (if you have one). Try plugging your headphones in and removing them again. You’ll also want to make sure Bluetooth is disabled. If none of these remedies fix the problem, there are more advanced things you can try.
Android phones:
Check to see if the speaker is engaged and the in-call volume is up.
Some apps like Facebook allow you to mute sound separately. If you don’t have sound while using a certain app, make sure the app’s sound settings are not muted or turned down.
Check the media volume by going into “Settings” and looking for “Sounds and Vibration.” Tap the “Volume” button and move it to a higher setting if it is too low.
Make sure the “Do Not Disturb” feature is not enabled. You can also find this in “Settings.”
Reset your phone to the “Default” settings. Any app or software setting that may have disabled the speaker will be eliminated.
iPhones:
If your phone has a “Ring/Silent” switch, move the switch upward toward the phone’s display so the orange is no longer showing.
In “Settings,” go to “Sounds” and drag the “Ringer” and “Alerts” sliders back and forth a few times, then turn them both up. Also, make sure that your “Do Not Disturb” feature is not engaged.
Install any new iOS updates.
Squeeze and hold the right-bottom corner of the phone above where the speaker is for 20 seconds. This is a little unorthodox, but this is where the speaker connector is, and you may be able to push it back into place.
If none of the above suggestions restore the volume to your phone, or if you are still experiencing a muffled or static-sound, your phone probably needs professional attention. You can take any type of smartphone to an independent repair facility. It doesn’t matter if you have an iPhone or Android, they are adept at servicing all makes and models.
An independent cell phone repair in Virginia Beach and all surrounding areas will usually be able to repair your phone the same day you bring it in (in some cases, as quickly as within one hour), and you are not required to have a warranty to get a really great price on the diagnostics and repairs.
Summary:
Speaker issues on your smartphone could be caused by a number of different things. First, check to make sure all your volume controls are engaged and set to the level you want. Make sure that Bluetooth is disabled, and check the speakers for debris and clean them if needed. You may also want to reboot your phone to see if that resolves the issue. If none of these things work, you should seek professional assistance from an independent smartphone repair facility.
