I got my JAM in trouble . My JAM cannot ring suddenly.... I never drop the device and splashed with water. when i play PDA functions , it cannot produce sound too... I can hear MP3 using phone jack but in the past i can hear through the speaker...Then when I left the JAM alone for around 30min, the ring came again....then when i play games, the sound disappeared again after around 5 mins.. Can you help? My JAM is still under warranty!!!
Make a hard reset and then play any media file to confirm that it is not a speaker problem,
Then install one application at a time and each time check whether the speaker is working or not. This will help in finding the exact application that might be causing the problem.

Hi,
Was driving home yesterday when I noticed my Tom Tom voice instructions started to break up. I thought it was just a little glitch and thought nothing move about it.
However today I was trying to play a sound and got nothing. I tried it a couple of times and it played and then started to break up too.
Since then I am getting no sound. I can hear sound fine using the headphones and when I get a call I can hear the caller fine, but if I go onto Speaker Phone I hear nothing.
I tried a soft reset then a hard reset but neither worked.
I have just finished upgrading to the latest ROM but it is still not working.
Has anyone else had this? Is there a secret fix I have missed?
Has anyone sent their JAMin for warrantly work in the UK. If so how long is the turnaround?
Regards
Hi. Used to have this problem when I had the Jam and the JAMin seems to use the same design when it comes to speakers (part of the reason why I didn't get a JAMin when upgrading.)
If it's the same problem as on the Jam hopefully the fllowing will help.
When you plug in headphones or speakers to the socket there is a loose connection. This then sometimes makes the phone think headphones are still plugged in even when they are not! The way I solved it was by playing some music on media player then half plugging the headphones in and wiggling the connector around until I heard sound through the speakers. I also found I could use the tip of the stylus to correct the loose connection. Some people said it worked just by plugging and unplugging their headphones several times.

dead speaker
If after a hard reset your speaker still has no sound, then it's probably dead. Sad to say, HTC is at fault for using such low quality speakers. I am a victim myself. Go to PPCSG. The prob is so common in Singapore that the service center has run out of speaker parts!
Speaker hardware replaced
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50392
read somewhere that this speaker problem was inherited from the magician?
can anyone verify that this speaker failing problem was inherent even in the magician?
if this is the case, then we will have doubts about PPCs coming out from HTC..
I heard about the Magician PDA speaker defects as well although I did not have such a problem with my old Magician but I had to get the Phone speaker replaced. It looks like they used the same Magician hardware in the new Prophet.
Hi
First post here so please excuse any ignorance.
O2 XDA Exec - standard Rom from O2 website.
Problem started a few hours ago after using the audio out for listening to music via mediaplayer.
My unit was working fine while playing, but later after it had been disconnceted from the stereo I noted that there were no tap sounds.
I first checked the audio settings, all normal the way I always have them.
Next I tried the reset button on the back of the unit, no help there.
I tried plugging in the headphones in and there is perfectly normal audio over the headphone but once removed nothing at all.
Getting more extreme I tried a rom update/fresh start, no luck there either.
Getting even more hardcore I downloaded the assembly/disassembly pdf from this forum to check if there was a physical fault with the 3.5mm audio port. I checked to make sure all the tabs were springing back after an audio jack was removed all seem fine (although at this point I lack a comparision).
Then for a test I rang my own phone from my land line and it seems to ring fine but there is nothing from the mic or either of the earpieces during a call.
I am fast running out of ideas and the last test really perplexed me.
I am almost certain that it is a case of one of the contacts inside the audio port not springing back and therefore cutting out the external audio, giving the device the impression that there is still a headset connected.
I don't want to poke around inside too much as I have so far been able to keep security tabs intact, just in case I need to send it off.
Anybody have any ideas on how to get around this? Is it possible that it is software and not hardware?
Please help as phone is a bit useless sans headset, which I don't really want to be permanetly tied to.
Thanks
Thom
keep plugging and unplugging the headset until it works or you get tired, if it works great, otherwise sent it in for repair.
Does nobody out there have a registry hack workaround for this problem?
When I receive calls its rings and any other sounds come through whilst the phone rings.
There must be a workaround here somewhere???
Had exactly the same problem. No sound but rings ok,
After the first time I plugged in the headphones, no sound. Its probably cause the headphone socket is so big in comparisson, that it gets dirty. Just spray some anti static cleaner on the headphone plug and keep plugging it in.
Worked perfectly for me!!
There is no registry hack because this is a hardware issue, not a software one.
The ringer will ring whether the earphones are plugged in or not, which is how you would expect a phone to function. The problem lies with the connectors in the headphone jack socket not recognising the headphones are unplugged. Resetting and even dare I say a hard reset will not sort it as the issue is not software related.
This has also been covered several times on the forum. The only way (short of taking the thing apart) is to keep plugging / unplugging the headphones until the sound reappears.
Cheers

This just started happening on my JasJar today (system audio returned after poking the headset in/out a few times), after 11 months of use. Does this get worse over time? Should I bite the bullet and try to get Imate to repair it?
Please advise!
Hi there,
I am having some issue with my O2 Atom Exec external speaker.
When the phone rings:
- I can't hear the ring tone (phone and pda volume settings turned up to high)
When I pick up:
- microphone does not work
- phone speaker does not work
Actually microphone seems to no longer work same with external speaker. I try to play music and no sound comes out externally. When I use the combined stereo headphones and microphone, these work fine. I have tried a hard reset and looking into the Windows registry for some obscure volume settings but this did not resolve the problem.
Anyone else experiencing a similar issue? Please help,
Hi,
You have a problem with the headphone socket. what I would suggest is play a file in media player and put the headphone plug in halfway and gently move it around left to right. You will know when it's fixed because the sound will start coming out of the speakers. This is a known fault that has been around a long time.
Cheers.

Today I faced this problem, I tried to do everything.

fixed my speakers. Thank you ,very very much for help.
We can see this thread below, talking about this problem.

Hello all,
since yesterday I have a serious problem with my Ameo.
When making a phone call or running media player there is no sound through the loudspeakers, even testing ring-tone or alarm sound is not working.
However, when a phone call comes in, I get the ringtone through the loadspeakers.
Tried soft and hard reset - both ot making anything better.
What can I do ?
Thanks for your help
Dieter
Now I discovered something strange:
After making a hard-reset, I get for about 1 second sound through the speakers.
Also after re-flashing the ROM I get for about a second somethin through the speakers.
Anybody an idea ?
Dieter
hi
have you used the headphones bevore the sound was gone? there are serval isues on htc devices that after unpluging the headphones one of the contacts inside the headphonejack of the device is not switching back to its normal position so the athena still thinks that the headphones are connected and is sending all output to theme. i had these also one time on my universal.
greetings mad
Hello mad,
thanks for the information. Putting in and out the jack twice got it running again.
Thanks so far.

Hello,
sound is gone on my S200. Yesterday it all worked just fine, I was listening to some music on the headphones, and this morning I tried to call my gf, and noticed that I have no sound on the device.
The phone rings when somebody is calling me, so I assume its not the speaker, at least not the one on the back.
I can't hear a thing when I call somebody and microphone doesn't seem to be working either. I haven't dropped the phone recently.
Music is only playing via the headphones, same for calls.
Any ideas? I took the back cover off and took a look at the speaker, it seems to be fine, and as I mentioned it rings when somebody calls me.
Could this be a ROM issue? Using WM 6.5

It seems its the stuck headphone socket, I managed to get it working again somehow, but I guess it needs replacing. Any ideas where could I get the whole socket for replacement?

Try connecting your headphones again and pull them out slowly, while gently applying pressure(as in bending) and rotating it. That did it for me, works fine for now.
