I have had the same trouble. Lucky for me,still under warranty, They sent me a refurbished phone and now,just a few months later this one is doing the same thing. Their sending me yet another one,After doing side by side comparisons the razr maxx has the best options, battery life ect. But 3 strikes and your out...if this next phone does this again, I will be looking at another phone and another provider. If this is a hardware issue why can't they fix the problem once and for all?? Maybe I should look into the iphone, The Maxx would be a great phone if they could just resolve this one glitch!!

My problem is with the ear piece speaker,I have to use the phone on the external speaker.I have been through three droid 4 phones and now I am getting my third Razr HD replacement.Not happy.I am not doing anything different.Been with Verizon for 15 years and have not had this problem before.Called Motorola,they said send your phone in and we will fix it.I need my phone for my business,so that's not gonna happen.

Steve have you tried resetting the phone in any way with any better Results you might a System Cache it might if you haven't done it what the phone Needs). There could be the possibility that an App is causing this issue have you tried running the phone in Safe Mode and use the Ear Piece.. Give those Suggestions a Try..

I use a BlueTooth Headset with my Maxx's i'v used this one particular headset for the Last 5 years it's my Hang in there headset it should have Cashed in a Long time ago but it's hanging on and i'll tell i got it on Clearance a year or so before Verizon took them over and it sounds better than some of these 100 to 150 Dollar headsets..

  You have been through 3 Droid 4 phones, and now getting your 3rd Droid RAZR MAXX, and all of them had the same problem? My opinion, it is something you are doing. I am on my 3rd smartphone, and I have only had to have a replacement only once, and that was when it would not receive an update, the phone worked flawless except for that.

D.U. i was kind of wondering if it was setting maybe or an App that might be Causing the issue on the Droid 4 there were a lot of complaints from Customers and the biggest was Headset Speaker. My Cousin has a Droid 4 but i haven't heard nothing from her so when she got hers the issue might have been Fixed as for my Maxx's  So far No issues with the internal speaker the outer speaker has it's little snap a Time or during the Day but i have gotten so Use it.. To me it's like any thing else you Deal with in Life..

External speaker on my Droid Maxx 2 quit suddenly after 2 years. After finding this forum, I found that if I removed the back and pressed on the speaker right where the letter "B" is in the word "Battery" on the inner case, the speaker worked. So I took a small snip of a rubber band and taped it to that spot to cause pressure, then snapped the back on, and the phone worked great! It's been working for a month like that. I "fixed" my wife's phone the same way, but it didn't last. I think it's becuase mine is in an Otter box, so extra pressure on the back. Anyway, this is a free extension on buying a new phone that's worth a try...
