Question
I have a motorola boost i855, and I cannot hear anything from the ear speaker,  the speaker on the phone works but when you answer or make a call you cannot hear anything when the phone is placed by my ear..

Answer
One of the first things to do on a cell phone is the speaker (the ear speaker as you referred to it). It's unfortunate, but not uncommon. If the phone is less than 12 months old, take it back to your carrier for replacement. If it is over 12 months and you are under contract, take it to your carrier for repair. If it is over 2 years old and you are eligible for a new device, replace it. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
