Dissappointing to hear that 11.2.5 beta 3 hasnt fixed the issue. i still have no working ear piece, and dont want to turn it off or update to the beta 3, as i doubt il get my phone back on, as now its decided to say system failure when on a call on speaker phone and hangs up, the tiny crackle in my earpiece speaker when on calls and lisetning to music, for me atleast has developed into a much bigger more complicated problem,
 
New beta upgrade the general sound in X. Calls and notifications sounds higher then before.
 
well, Maybe il give it a try and report back here
[doublepost=1515099731][/doublepost]I have installed beta 3, no luck,
 
il be quick, Had the same speaker issue, turned off my iphone, when turned it on again, it got stuck on apple logo, had to restore the phone, now my earpiece speaker doesn't work at all, and 11.2.5 beta 3 didnt help, phone randomly crashes even when not using and back to stuck on logo screen, also sometimes says system failure, and reboots, and no where near a applestore for 2 weeks,

Did you DFU it yet? If not, that's next step IMO. I would delete the public beta profile BEFORE the DFU
 
Never even heard of DFU? deleted the beta right after it didnt work and back on the latest IOS
[doublepost=1515185212][/doublepost]Thank you PBz i did the dfu, though it did help with the earpiece as in its working, but the volume is still nowhere as good as it should be, and calls are still just as bad though youtube was noticeably louder, Thanks for your suggestion

New iOS 11.2.5 Beta. Maybe only have spectre fix or something more. idk right now.
 
For all the persons still experiencing this problem, I would advise you to get a new phone, preferably with a more recent manufacture date. My friend and I sent back our day one units as they were crackling badly. As we weren't sure this problem was hardware or software, we decided to wait till the end of December to buy again. Now our new iPhones X (both week 49) have no crackling. And I can't reproduce this issue on the display units at my local Apple Store anymore.
The problem is that if you're past the 14-day return period, you would probably end up with a replacement made earlier than the full retail box units...

I've tried more than 20 iPhones X in the App Store and all of them have the same issue...

I contacted Apple Support multiple times! And they know about the issue and they are very adamant that the next iOS update will fix the issue! I asked them for a replacement since I am in India but they are not accepting at the moment ! They said wait for the update !

At that point, I would have lost patience. It has been at least 3 updates that Apple Support keeps saying that. My opinion is that they know nothing about it. It’s just their typical answer to « minor » problems they can’t help you with. That and « we could replace it ». What has to be fixed, has been fixed, either software or hardware. Units at my local Apple Store and official retailers don’t crackle anymore. And I can’t reproduce the problem on mine. Songs that were suggested here, like Skyfall by Adele, play perfectly. If you still experience the problem on your phone, it is unlikely that they will fix it.

Maybe random units have this problem because a bad connection from manufacters, or idk. I dont really know from where come this isse (speaker). Now some users report overheating while use whatsapp. iOS 11 its a crap
