Problem with speaker and mic

Today I lost the speaker and mic in my 8125. I don't know what's the problem. I can't hear anything from the speakers nor use the microphone. The headphones work but not the internal speaker. What could be the problem?
I need help!!!
Diego

Still no microphone nor speaker in my 8125. I tried restoring to original set up without a change. I think it's a hardware problem and I';m taking it to CIngular for a exchange.
If anyone can help, please let me know.
Thanks
Diego

exact same thing for me. had this playing music when i removed the head phone jack and was surprised to hear that no sound came out of the external speakers ...
now i can't even use the phone ... WTF?!?

Well, I contacted Cingular Suport on the phone and they're sending a replacement. Apparently is a defect of the 8125 hardware and many have reported this problem too.

Contact your service provider to get a replacement.

Dont Worry Bro Its No Big Deal, Calm yourself down and listen carefully, The reason its not working is that when you insert the headphone jack into it (there is a small jumper in it which works through a spring so when you insert the jack inside so it disconnects the main audio circuit) so sometimes due to some dryness or may be somethingelse it doesnt connect back, I just recently fixed one Device with the same problem but since i know how to open it and so i did but for you, i guess the top priority would be not loosing the warranty and that you surely will once you tried opening it but ofcourse you need tools for that, so heres a small tip which may work, Open media Player, Play a song and than try inserting the jack back into it and take it out, do it with a little force, it may start working but that will still not be a proper solution to it. Thats all i can help, if there is still you need my assistance in understading the way how to open it than dont forget to drop me a reminder mail on my mail box and ill check back and will tell you more if it didnt work.

Thanks man, a replacement is coming anyway, but it's good to know.

first i thought software was the problem so after a soft reset followed then a hard reset both failed to restore the sound i figured it had to be mechanical.
so i basically did what you said till TOOL started playing via the external speakers.
needless to say i am very concerned that this $$$ phone is so easily made useless.
BTW thanks for the help!

No Problem! It made me happy
Well, im so glad my idea worked n yes u know for me if it stinks, its chemistry
if it hurts, its biology
n if it doesn't work,
its definately physics(electronics) lol
so i dont depend or trust electronics
Anyway the pleasure was all mine, no need to thank
takecare!

Problems XDA EXEC

Hi guys, I am worried on my xda exec. Problem is that when there is an incoming call, I here the mobile ringing but when I answer, I cannot hear anything. Same thing when I place place a call..I hear nothing. A friend of mine suspected that it might be that I upgraded firmware from O2 website. He asked me to download radio version 1.15.00. Said this should solve my problem. But it didnt. Can someone please help me out. I'm frustrated without it, as it is part of my work tools.
Looking forward to hear from you guys
Best Regards
Henry

pretty wrong forum

hi henry, maybe wrong forum, but its probably the headphone socket, try wired heaphones. I had problems too... I blew my socket with an air line this cures for a while. doesn't help when u keep these in yr pocket!
cheers
Chris

moved to universal

Tron is right, i have same problem too, switch in headphone jack is dirty, try clean with toothstick or vacum cleaner

Car mount problem

Hi,
I've got Kaiser and a default car mount. The problem is (couldn't find it here, sorry if discussed earlier) that in 80% cases I press green or red button while taking it out / puting it into the holder. It is just constructed this way which annoys me really, especially when somebody calls you and you drop his call.
Anybody has the same problem? The only solution that comes to my mind is somehow piling or cuttin the holder a bit...

I bought something similar to this:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8144075
at wal-mart to use for my tilt. works REALLY well w/ no hassle.

Great way to start out here at XDA. Try using the correct forum and dont post this irrelevant junk in threads.
Anyway, I have one similar to http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8144075
and It works great. I think i paid a tad more but not much more.

I've got the same issue here. its a trade off of having a secure mount I guess...
Personally don't trust mounts that simply hold the phone it by their sides.

Speaker doesn't work. PLEASE HELP!

Dear Friends....
Today I found out that my speaker doesn't work!!!! It doesn't ring!!! { just vibration }
also I can talk on the phone...but when I press the speaker button...I can not hear anything,,,, I am sure it is the external speaker.....
I did soft reset ....and hard reset ...didn't work!!!! I didn't do anything with it...
it also has the original rom .....
I tried to dismount it...but after opening the four screws...I didn't know what to do....I couldn't go further...I couldn't find a way to open it..... the worst thing is that the warranty finished just 3 days ago I am very very lucky!
so please help me either fix it or dismount it....
but please please be fast!
Thank you very much in advance

I heard some weak sounds....
I was working with my phone...and I could hear some weak sounds from it.... It was working.....but with very weak sounds.....!!!!
What should I do?!

I would say it is a hardware fault, either the speaker is faulty or probably dry joints somewhere. I remember reading a thread which gives the hardware diagram, but I could not remember where nor did I bookmark it. If you do a search, may be you can find it. As much as I can help. Regards.

Same happened to me!
Luckily for me it was 3 weeks before the warranty ended and I got it fixed.
I did see that you could buy the speaker on ebay - and was wondering about that option if the company didn't help.
Just search ebay for HTC touch 3g speaker
Good Luck

[Q] My Uni's dieing..........

Hello all, I listen to a lot of music at work using my XDA EXEC not a good idea on a fork lift as the uni gets knocked around a bit! Anyway the headphone socket has broken off the circuit board so now I have no sound and can no longer make calls and I'm getting cheesed off with looking at it to see if the amber light is flashing?
I have another XDA EXEC which is like new, I bought it off Ebay some time ago hoping it was the screen and battery that was dodgy but it was blocked so as good as dead!
So what I want to do now is take what ever I need to take off the motherboard from the uni that I currently use with no headphone socket and replace it with the blocked uni so I can make calls and have sound!!
But I don't know what I need to take off or what it looks like?
The reason I want to do this, is because my uni I use has had a hard life and the motherboard is a little brittle and I'm loosing buttons!
If anyone can help me out here so I can carry on using the old girl!!
Cheers..

Have a look on my sig link, there is the service manual on hot to dismantle the Uni
Good luck!

Hello Orb, I have this PDF manual which I have used many times but what I want to know is what parts on the motherboard do I need to remove so I can get a radio signal from my spare uni as its blocked/Blacklisted. I presume its a chip of some sort? Where is it and what does it look like?? I can then make a good uni out of the two of them!

Oh! I get it, perhaps you can ask enigma1 as she is an expert on this matters
Haven´t seen her in long time
Good luck!

Yes I remember enigma1 she was a very handy chick! I think she was around a few months ago?

Yep, try PM her, hope you fins your way soon!

Have you tried contacting your operator? I accidentally bought a blocked HTC from eBay, and after contacting Orange to see what was going on, they unblocked it with no fuss.

Hello Jonny, Yeah I contacted O2 and they wasn't very happy that I had a blacklisted phone! I told them I bought it off Ebay but they had no intention of unblocking it for me so I didn't stay on the line long!

Cheers for that Orb saves me a lot of time looking! I will PM her when I have a bit more time on my hands!

Let us know how all goes and good luck!

Right have have sent a message and received a reply so I am going to copy and paste it here, Hope she doesn't mind!?
Hi, I had a quick read through the problem you have. I am not sure how the broken off earphone socket affects the main speakers or internal speaker altogether, there has to be some other underlying problem to stop the sound all at once.
Unfortunately, the only suggestion I can make involves soldering of the broken off socket/replacement of one with another socket. The entire board of the new Uni you purchased is of no use to you due to being blocked, however, I had some evidence that being blocked on one network will not necessarily mean being blocked on all, therefore you can always try it with another network's SIM. Of course you can take both apart and swap housing and LCD to make it into 1 device, the suggestion Orb3000 made is a sound one with regards to seeing the disassembly procedure, alternatively there is a HTC Universal Service Manual floating on the net that you can search for and download, it is very detailed and will lead you every step of the way.
ALTERNATIVELY, you can always try using your semi-broken Uni with bluetooth headset to make calls and listen to the music.... Even with mono bluetooth headset and Pocket Player you can do anything you want, from calls to MP3s and Voice Command - Pocket Player has an option of sending your music over the bluetooth.
My uni seems to have the sound back so hopefully it will stay on!

Glad to know that
Long live to Uni!!!!
