Help app broke speaker and vibrate

[theray]

Hey guys. I stupidly downloaded a Speaker Cleaner app for my phone from the Play Store. I was intrigued as to whether it actually did anything, or was just a joke.

The app vibrated my phone really violently and sent a high pitched sound out of the speaker.

Now, sometimes, when my speaker volume is relatively low, the audio will begin cutting in and out. Turning up the volume fixes the problem and I can then turn the sound down as normal.

Also, I may perhaps be imagining this, but it feels like sometimes the vibration 'clicks' every once in a while. I'm not sure of a better word to describe it. Not a click from the speaker, but inside the device. Perhaps the vibration mechanism itself? But I'm not sure if I'm just imagining this. It only happens when pressing the back/home/etc button as I have it disabled for typing.

So, a few questions:
Has anyone had this problem before? If so, do you know how to fix it?

Also, if I explain this situation to HTC, will I be covered by warranty or is it my own fault for using this app?

Thanks .

Hi. Thanks for the welcome and quick reply. This is the app. There was dirt in the speaker, so I thought I would try it out. My phone is not rooted

As long as its not rooted and the bootloader isnt unlocked its under warranty, don't tell them you do it and have them fix it.

Great, thanks. I thought that was probably the case. Are HTC repairs reliable? I don't want the phone coming back even worse...

Have u done a full factory reset this cleaning all apps data and cache and removing the app may do some good cause it maybe holding your correct settings back from working . And also check to see if a custom rom is out for your device a custom rom will rewrite the audio for the device .
