My mom drop my JAMin from a 3 feet table onto tile.
Luckily the phone wasn't scratched or crack. Then I realize the microphone stopped working.
Tried basically everything..
What should I do?
There is a known problem with these devices and the headphone jack. Usually I've read about people having trouble with the audio, but maybe in your case it is the mic. Try plugging in the headset/mic and see if the mic is working. If so, try unplugging it and plugging it in again several times and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise, I'm afraid you might have to send it in for repair :-(
I had a friend using Dopod 818Pro. She dropped it and the speaker stopped working. She has to send it for repaired.
try to utilize your warranty service ..just dont tell them the device fell down.

I need urgent help with this problem im having. I was using my JAMin when all of a sudden, it just went mute. I turned it off and on again but it didnt do any good. Everything else is working fine; it's just that there is no sound.
I've tried inserting and taking out the hands-free pin from the jack but still no luck. I even tried the hard reset; but still no success.
Kindly help me out!
Thankyou.
You get sound from the handsfree? if so, the speaker could be broken.
The thing is, the speaker just can't break on its own now can it? I mean it the set didn't fall or anything, so how can the speaker possibly break?
Oh and yeah, i do get sound from the handsfree; just not the speaker.
same problem with mine...turn out the speaker is broken, apparantly it is common problem with early version of 818pro (the service centre told me that)
Yep you got a bad one.
This seems to be a major problem with the HTC Prophet as a whole regardless of the branding. I have returned mine to Orange for a replacement, they confirmed that it was hardware failure. I thought that I might have just got unlucky with a bad batch, but looking across the NET and here, it appears that all brands based on the HTC Prophet are failing.
Obviously, shoddy manufacturing, I guess HTC did a little penny pinching with the speaker system.
This is the weirdest thing/worse thing that can happen to my wing so far....
I was on the phone talking like normal, everything ran fine, everything was perfect. The next phone call I get, I can't hear the other person...I'm yelling HELLO!?!? HELLO?!!...I thought it was their crappy flip phone. However, it was MY PHONE.
So everytime, I had to make a phone call or receive a phone call I have to put the person on speaker phone to hear them.
I did a hard reset and ERASED everything and that still didn't fix my problem.
So, I took a deep breath in and took apart the wing to check if there was a loose connection where the Ear Phone Speaker was connected to the board. Everything looked fine and un-plugged the speaker and used the Dust-Away Can on it and put it back in...and it still didnt work. I took disconnected the speaker again and just threw it against the table cause I got so mad. Connected it again. and Viola! It works again! I was extremely happy until....
Today during school it happened again, I couldn't hear the person, I did hard reset (thinking it was because of all the mods) but it wasn't. Then I took the speaker out again and did the same thing...but still doesn't work.
Any ideas guys? You think the speaker is just blown? I've only had the phone for 3 weeks. Any idea where I can buy a replacement speaker? (if you need a picture of the speaker, let me know and i'll post it)
Thanks for the help!
That happened to me... and it was because I was holding my Wing and a water bottle in the same hand, and apparently, I got some moisture in the speaker... and shortly after, the touchscreen stopped responding.. so I took it back and got a new one.
only thing i can suggest is if you figure out the part number for the speaker (either the HTC part number or the manufacturer part number) then search with that term on google and I am sure you will find atleast a few wholesalers and retailers from Hong Kong that sell that product. Did this on numerous occasions for lcds, antenae, and various parts for random electronics.
Did you try throwing it again?
yeah I did.
I guess the speaker is just blown. I went to a Cell Phone Repair place and they gave me a BlackJack speaker, its the same plugs but a little thicker, so theres a little bulge where the ear handset is.
How much did that cost ya?
I've got a bit of a problem with my hermes. For quite a long while now the speakers have just not been working. The speaker for the phone works but the ringer and loudspeaker don't work. Initially after a soft reset it would work for about half an hour again and then stop working.
I don't think it's software related as I have flashed my phone a couple of times since it started.
If anyone could help me out with this at all I would be incredibly grateful as it is intensely annoying not being able to hear calls coming in.
Thanks,
Stuart
I had a similar problems with the speaker. It was because there is a cable from the speak to the mainboard that can become disconnected. I dropped my phone and the connector became lose. If you take you keyboard part of the phone apart you will see the small cable running from the speak to a port on the board, just reconnect it and it should work.
Tim is right. Do a search and it will lead you to a thread with pics so you can see how to fix it. It's a simple repair. I've had to do it twice on mine in a year.
Thanks a lot guys.
I'll try and find that.
Ok guys, i've a really huge problem: the speaker and the microphone of my wizard don't work anymore. Don't know why - there was no impact on the phone (it didn't fall out of my pocket or so). The two speakers on the sides are working sometimes but the one for calling doesn't work. Even the microphone doesn't work anymore - no one can hear me and I can't hear anyone. This sucks!
I thought of a software problem, but even after the third different rom I've had the same symptoms. I'm thinking about disassembly the phone with the service manual.
What do you guys think? What should I do? Anyone experienced this?
Had something similar
Speakers weren't working at all so i had to use my headset . 3 minutes later I got furious and took the phone and headset and repeatedly plugged and unplugged it to and from the jack.
it actually worked somehow, i was able to use the speakers again
I guess my actions caused it to short itself back to normal
You can easily replace it for about 5 bucks.
Well, i'm goning to take the phone apart to fix this - maybe the contacts to the speaker are just corroded. But I have to say, that the phone sucks! Nothing's working like it should.
I'm having this same problem, it happens for a while then it fixes itself. anyone find a solution?
Fix
The contacts that switch between the headset and the internal speaker/mic are most likely not making a good connection. You can take it apart and clean them/replace the jack.
Another (much easier) approach is to put some dielectric grease (auto parts stores carry it, it's used to keep spark plug boots from sticking to spark plugs or coil packs) on the contacts of the headset jack (the part that goes into the phone) and plug it in and out a dozen times. This will usually fix it for a long time. I've fixed several Wizards this way, and they haven't failed yet.

I just had this exact same problem for the first time last night, I was playing a computer game on my desktop and a plane flew over head and my wifi internet went out and my phone did exactly what your talking about.
It was just weird that it all happened at the same time. I can hear anything out of the speaker except for when someone is calling or i get a text.
Thank god i found this post, I will try doing something crazy or maybe cleaning it out.
Be checkin' back!
Hello all
I have big problem with my himalaya. When someone calling to me or I calling to someone i can't hear anything and he can't hear me. But I can hear ring tone, mp3. I can hear someone and he can hear me when I connect my XDA 2 to computer.
What i can do with That??
the problem is with the connector.few Pins are broken or are touching each ither...which causes the Hima to go into Car Mode..try connecting a Headphone and see if it works or not..else get your Connector replaced
no audio
If the above doesn't work, this could be a problem, which after a LOT of research I don't believe there has been a fix found for. Essentially , my problem and a problem my mate had was that the audio on the phone was working FINE, MP3, ringtone etc... but upon answering or calling, there was no IN CALL sound. it WORKED with a headset, but no amount of fiddling with the jack sorted it out. THe LOUDSPEAKER also would NOT work.
Having a few donar phones lying about, I just put a new board into the phone and forgot about the problemed one for a week or so, left it laying in my drawer. Tried it in the phone after waiting this time, and it worked FINE.... the problem had rectified itself.
I know this isn't necessarily helpful, but perhaps leaving the phone in a dry warm place ? could be moisture..?
hope this helps.
..........IB a n e
well, it happend with me yesterday, just took the Batt. out ( 30 second), put it back, reset the device, and all will be OK,....its a software feature AND NOT A BUG... beleave it or NOT....
