Galaxy phones put the main speaker at the bottom edge. Here is the sound routine plus the care steps Samsung itself recommends.
Last reviewed: November 2026 ยท Sound guidance checked against Apple, Google and Samsung support documentation.
๐ Speaker Cleaner โ tap play
Works on Galaxy S, A, M and F series โ hold the phone with the bottom edge facing down so water and dust fall out of the grille.
Set your volume to maximum, unplug headphones, and hold the phone speaker facing down.
How to use it
- Find the grille: a row of slots on the bottom edge, next to the USB-C port. That is the speaker this sound cleans.
- Remove the case and set the volume to maximum.
- Hold the phone bottom-down over a cloth and play the Water Eject cycle above.
- For calls that sound quiet, run the Earpiece Clean mode too โ Galaxy phones use the earpiece as the second stereo channel.
- Brush the bottom slots gently with a soft dry toothbrush, strokes pointing outward.
Good to know
- Many recent Galaxy models carry an IP68 rating โ but Samsung is clear that resistance is for clean water, in a new phone, and it is not a licence to swim with it; salt water and drops weaken the seals.
- Samsung support's own advice after a dunk: power off, dry the outside, shake gently port-down, and let it air-dry before charging.
- Galaxy phones include a device-care/diagnostics area in the Samsung Members app where you can run a speaker check after cleaning.
Frequently asked questions
Does the eject sound work on Galaxy A-series phones?
Yes. A-series speakers sit in the same bottom position and respond to the same sound. Some A models have lower (or no) water-resistance ratings, so be gentler with the drying steps and never rinse them.
My Galaxy speaker is fine for music but quiet on calls.
That is the earpiece at the top of the screen. Run the Earpiece Clean mode and brush the thin slot above the display.
Can I use this after my Galaxy fell in pool water?
Yes โ rinse off chlorinated water gently with clean tap water first if the phone is rated for it, then eject and air-dry for several hours before charging.
