I have been plagued with this problem as well for the last few months. tried all recommended fixes. took apart rebent pins (worked for a week). but spacer on battery (kind of worked but not really any pressure to problem area would make speaker cut to low again). seems problem as stated above is pressure from battery cover on light grey area that houses flash with speaker below. I keep my phone in my front pocket so it constanly is compressed. I found a way to completely aleviate the problem! kind of using the "credit card fix" but place tape or glue 2 - 1/2 inch pieces of an old card right above the battery on each side of the light grey area. do not place too high up or the back cover will not close properly. see pics. this works by not allowing the cover to come near problem area. Hope this helps.
