I broke my backspeaker.
A few days ago The sound of my backspeaker began to go bad. Somtimes it was bad and when I shook the phone it was working. But lateron the shaking wasnt working so i opened my phone and tryed to clean the contacts. When I pushed the surface of the speaker it worked so I am sure its the speaker and not the software.
Im not going to tell you how I tried to fix the speaker
Lets just say that theres no warrenty nomore
Where can I buy this speaker (tryed to google or search this forum but found nothing)
Please help

I've read somwhere in this forum that you can replace the speaker with a Nokia speaker. It's better and available at many places. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18384&highlight=speaker+nokia.
But I don't know if that's about the back-speaker???
Im sorry to say that that subject was about the front speaker.
Im still looking for the backspeaker.
Thanks anyway for the reply
More unlikely to find it. Need to try your service center for Help!

It's the same as a blueangel main speaker but with a longer lead.

You would need to splice the wires longer.

I did it !!!
I replaced the back speaker with a speaker from alcatel ot511
I used a solder iron (how do you translate a "soldeerbout" in inglish) to coneect the 2 wires to the speaker. And voila .... there was sound.
Its not to loud but the quality seems a bit better.
btw the speaker cost me 2 euro so thats a lot cheaper than the 30 euro you pay for the original xda speaker

I lost the loudspeaker-sound in my Himalya. It works using headphones. I think it may have to do with another set of headphone I connected to it, which was not original. Perhaps it put the device on permanent headphone mode. But then again it might not have anything to do with that.
Is there a Himalaya expert in Berlin - Germany who might be able to help me with it? I dread having to send it to the official reapir center, as I expect it to cost a neck and a hand.
Happened to me when I received a call whilst listening to music. I pulled the headphones out before answering the call, and then answered it. I could here them but they cvouldn't hear me. If you plug the headphones in again and remove them it solves the problem. Well it did for me anyway
I tried that. I doesn't do it. It doesn't matter what kind of sound, if Media Player file is played of phone ringing, only the headphones work. I think I need a dotor.
I have read a lot about the problem in others threads. It seems the headphone-jack can get stuck, not making a contact, which normally is being made and which turns the XDA back to speaker mode, when the headphone-jack is pulled out. Hereto:
1- What does that mean exactely? Which part is that, in what part in the on-board jack? If it had been bent out of place, is it possible to bend the part pack (at best without having to disassemble)? (I tried the ramming in and out, no go).
2- I looked at the non-original jack I had used and it is about 2 mm longer than the original. Might perhaps that explain it? Is there a part in the back that could have been bent out of place?
3- If indeed this was the problem (if the jack had been bent out of place, one way or another), would the microphone work? I can record using the dictaphone and the micophone also works during a call.
When we had himalaya's it happened to both of our devices (my wife and I had one each).
It appears the spring in the speaker can come loose. I used to bang mine (pardon the pun) on my palm and sometimes it would start to work. Then we broke the speaker protection shield, and this made it easier sometimes and hard to fix in others.
When I sold it, my friend took it apart as it was out of warranty, and as he is electrically minded, he find the dodgy bit, and soldered it to the device, and now works perfectly.
Yes! Thanks Jasjar. It worked after a bit of beating.
I found a detailed instruction of how to fix it permanently in another thread. Sounds complicated and dangerous but eventually I must do it.

Sorry for kicking the topic, but this was the solution for me. I just poked in the headphone-jack with a little stick and tataaaa... my sound is back!
Sound lost problem
Hi all,
same happen to me, the sound stoped working (on my side it had nothing to do with the phone jack).
After the modifaication which is described in this forum i had still the same problem so i solder the loud speaker directly - still same problem...
After some time i flashed the device again, now it works, so on my side it was a software problem...
The device was 3 month out of power, but i think remove the battery and if the sound appears on startup (on first boot) but later not, then flash the os and it will work ...

So what should I do now? ;/
Plese help...
Just for reference:
A friend of mine had this 2020, and both Speakerphone and mic were not working.
When somebody called, the ringtone DID sound.
Anyway, bluetooth handsfree worked fine.
All we did was play with the jack, using the stylus! Not even headphones...
And now it works fine!
He says he'll never put phones on it again... lol
cu around!
Looking for more Info
Hi, please help me find which points in the MDAII Motherboard can I solder to disable the headphones and get the audio and mic back to the MDA.
After a while my headphone-jack is broken from the motherboard and now I only have the pin outs in it.
The device is working perfect, and I can use bluetooth headphones. I just don't have audio in the speaker and no mic without bluetooth.
I hope someone can tell me which of the red points en the picture can I solder to disable the headphones.
I just want to do this temporally until I get a replacement spare part for it.
Thanks
EDIT: 12-12-2007
I got it. Just joining 1 and 3 and you will get audio back to the PDA disabling the headphones jack.
Thanks anyways for reading this..
Did you find out what all the mboard pins are for the jack?
I have a dodgy jack and would like to take flying leads of the mboard jack to an external (easily changed) inline jack. Does any know what the 1 to 6 pins correlate to. I would like to still switch the audio via the external jack. Not bothered about the mic.
TIA.
The rear speaker of my JAMin blew... I need a replacement so I can do the work myself and not have to send it over for a week to the lab. Where can I get one?
Thanks,

How to repair the sound issue on Prophet
Hi
I could read a lot of posts on that issue and found this solution:
Remove the battery cover. Then the camera cover: to do so, lift up the gently the cover starting from the side of the battery.
You will see something looking like a fan. This is the speaker. the problem is with the red wire whixh connect the speaker.
Turn on your prophet and run your favourite MP3 song.
then touch the red wire with your stylus. The sound should come back. Insert a piece of folded paper to keep the cable properly fixed. that's all
Watch out not to wish to fix it too nicely, you could damage the wire !
Hope this help, otherwise a return to the service department will be necessary !
Hope this helps
Regards
Régis
Hay the paper trick works!
I went here to learn how to remove the flap to the speakers:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=240109
Well, my speaker had the voice coil broken... touching the membrane would bring it back to life but that is no real solution. I replaced it with a speaker from a used old cellphone with some minor use of hot glue to fix it in place and seal around it.
It works now just as new.
Nir
yeah it is a real Problem.
mine is broken twice in 6 months.
tried the paper thing. but it sometimes sounds weird and there's some hissing. maybe I did it wrong. so I tweak it a bit and just lost it completely. no sound whatsoever now.
went to the service center today. they said that they have a new batch of speaker which supposed to be better than the previous one. if anyone can confirm.

That's great, this fixed my problem. After I touch the red wire with my stylus, the speaker just works fine, don't even need a folder paper.

I'll try this one myself - my speaker just died again - it's been back once already.
Well, I followed the instructions above and now I have a working speaker again. A very low tech fix to a high tech device.
I have found a small bit of sponge does the job better than folded paper.
what is the type of speaker.
i mean can i use any speaker?
what's the best?
Mohammad, you seem to have missed the point of the replies in this thread. We don't know where to get another speaker from but we do know how to make the existing one work again.
oh, dude!!!
sorry
What a piece of ugly Speaker: O2 xda Neo!
Hay Guys,
I am suffering from this nasty problem since sometime. My brother has tweaked the speakers with a metal piece seem to work. However if I use speakerphone, it goes off.
Is there a permanent solution to this constant spurce of unhappiness.
Incidently I have been blessed with a on & off camera problem as well. I think I will never buy a DOPOD product in my life again.
My Camera has those colour matrix instead of proper images. Occasionally it behaves normally. I have tried hard reset already.
Any body? help !!!!!

The manufaturing quality of HTC is bad
I also have the speaker problem. And thanks for all of you to suggest that sponge and folder trick. I did it and i have put a small slice of ear plug sponge. For past 2 days my spearker is working. But dont know how long will this sponge give my speaker lifesupport. I am sure after few days again its going to be problem. Hey,...... is there anyone in this thread who has used sponge/paper and the speaker is working for long time.. at least a year ?.
These HTC products seem really bad quality products.

motorola l7 speaker is too a candidate
It's too bad they saved on the speaker. Guess the manufacturer of the speaker had a very nice presentation @ HTC
Trying to download that pdf file, but it's not working :/ However I've read on other occasions that people talk about that motorola speaker as a replacement. Might be worth giving a more detailed look into that.
What exactly is the problem with the speaker btw? Did anyone narrowed that down already? Why is the speaker not functioning properly?
pdf
The file contains instructions to change the original speaker using the spk of a motorola v525.
I did it yesterday, and works fine, but isn´t easy to do it

Could be. When you say you hear all sounds but phone calls - I presume you mean all sounds from the rear speaker.
If I understand correctly you have reflashed? If so then you have 99% ruled out a software problem. The earpiece speaker could be damaged or probably just not making a good contact.
Quite often (though not always you can check the contacts by dialling the speaking clock (or similar) and the giving the phone a few short sharp taps (nothing too violent though) and if you hear the sound crackle on and off then it's almost certainly just needing the contacts tweaked. Not a fool-proof way to check but worth a try.
I have seen reports of both damaged speakers and poor contacts, both are reasonably likely. There is an equivalent Motorola speaker that can be used in place of the genuine article if it turns out to be damaged - The genuine one is tricky to get a hold of.
Before dismantling though, check your USB port. Try to be sure there is no damage around it or bent pins inside. Insert and retract a headset/earpiece mini USB. Do you get sound through an earpiece? If you get no sound then it is likely NOT the earpiece speaker that's at fault but the USB port. The port and it's connections must work correctly for sound to be routed to the earpiece speaker. (If you're pretty sure there is no damage there then a repair shop or dismantling is probably the answer)

Hi!
A few days ago i bought a mda vario 2. The problem is that i have no sound. When some1 is calling i have only vibrations or when i want to listen a song, watch a film etc. I did hard reset a few times. I tried diffrent roms but it doesnt help. Cleaning mini usb gives nothing. I have wm 6.1 proffesional. Please help me sorry for my english im from poland
Yes i had the same thing when i got my hermes, it was my first WM device so i wasnt familiar with it. If your case is the same as mine then you have your sound profile set to "Vibrate". You can change it either by taping on the little loudspeaker icon on the top of your today screen and selecting "On", or if you have the HTC Today plugin, by selecting "Profiles" and then "Normal" mode. Hope this helps
But i have "normal" profile with sound on. Also when i try to see a video or listen mp3 files i dont have sound

There are several threads on sound problems here. Do none of them fit your situation?
Is it just the rear speaker that has no sound?
Do you get sound using the headphones?
Could it be that the Rear speaker push on connector needs pushing back on?

OK, but if someone phones you I know you do not hear it ring BUT can you hear their voice in the front speaker?

I can talk normally.
Try the info for new members http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325748 . I had the same issue and had to re-attach the speaker plug.I checked this out by gently squeezing the unit below the speaker about 2cm down, it would make the connection then quit sound again. When I removed the back case (not the battery cover) I saw the plug was loose. Follow the instructions in the Hermes manual (from the post) carefuly.

If you remove the void sticker then the Warranty becomes useless. It is supposed to stop you dismantling your phone.
So, if you have a warranty then use it. If you have NO warranty then use a a Torx No 6 screwdriver to remove the screws. (Just peel off the sticker, it will break up into little pieces).

i had same problem but i upgraded my rom to the v7 blue calm and now it works perfectly..i also have vario 2 but my warranty was voided long time ago lol if doesnt work theres a guy who made a website detailing instructions on how to fix it
I am having a sound issue, but it's pretty unique.
My rear speaker works fine if I'm trying to use it for the speaker phone, but it won't work in any other application. For example, I cannot play songs from windows media player, it won't play any ringtones when I receive a call.
I tried plugging in the USB headphones, and it's exactly the same. Works for the phone, not for anything else.
HOWEVER, with a bluetooth headset, I can play songs just fine. This leads me to believe it's a software issue but I can't pinpoint what it could be. Anyone have any ideas before I hard reset this bad boy?
Hi. I have v20 and my speaker fidnt work.i can hear some noise once in awhile.i open the device and reconnect the speaker.then comnect.and agold piece accidentally broken.my question is if i replace anew microphone it should work?
I don't know it might be the motherboard contacts and not the speaker. Actually I had mine open recently and I slightly broke one of the contacts but not completely so it still works.
The pic you posted does't show the speaker contact pins .That one you see there is for something else, a ground pin or something.
Sure, if the contacts on the mobo are still high enough a speaker replacement would solve the issue. If the speaker is the problem of course - it may be the contacts are not touching the speaker properly.
I would test the speaker before buying a new one with an old earphone cable if you have one. You'd just strip the ends and place them on the speaker contacts while plugged into an audio player and see if you hear anything. Oh btw, strip off the felt grille off the speaker, it sounds way better that way.

My speaker also stopped working a few months ago. I bought a new speaker but it still doesn't work so I summer that something on the motherboard is fried. It may also have been caused by the resurrection I had to pull off using QFIL around the same time. Maybe something firmware-related.
I replace the speaker, but it still doesnt work. I guess because of the gold ribon that broke..is there any way to fix it??
Anyone??
