Hello,
I have am I-mate jamin with (i guess) the first ROM released (1.09.25).
When i received a call, and specially with more feminist voice, the sound have a noise, something like "ztztztztz". More or less like dust or piece of sand in a car speaker.
Do you have experience that ?
With a ROM update this will be fixed ?
Thanks in advance
Many regards
possible speaker problem
Have you tried with a wired or blue tooth earpiece? If the problem goes away with an external speaker then I would suggest that you may have an internal speaker problem.
Either way, take it back to you store to be checked.
Regards,
Tony

sometimes my i-mate jam loses system sounds from main speaker especially when headphones are attached and then detached. it means that it doesn't ring when somebldy calls me, or it doesn't play music from main speaker, though I still can speak and hear from phone speaker. when the headphones are returned to the place everything seems to be ok, soft reset doesn't help. this is the second jam with the same problem among my friends, please help!
i think this has been discussed b4..it has to do with the fragile audio port on your mini..apparently the contacts not too good so when you remove the headset, the JAM still thinks you have it on.
i tried fiddling with the audio jack and the headset a lot.. i don't have any sound on my speakers since over a week now...i can talk properly - and have set it for vibrate..hard reset also didn't work...

thanks, I heared something about that but could not find the topic. so what can be done to get rid of the problem without going to service? is there something I can do myself?
or is there a possibility that devices mady under other brands will function better? i have a chance to exchange my i-mate for brand new mda compact with little cash on it. i realise that this is the same device, but may be some difference in quality?
ihave just read a thread about this problem. they say insert your headphone jack then remove it quickly. ive never experienced this problem yet with my imate new jam. hope not
Try flicking the ear-piece area with your finger. Had to do this to my wife's mini when she dropped it both times. It seems the speaker looses contact when bumped. HTH.
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.
This thread is where the problem was discussed when on the JAM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42949

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.
i dont know why, but my jam has lost all its sounds after seraching on the forum i m convinced it is a problem with the ear piece but what is confunsing me that when i make a call i can hear the sound clearly but still there is no sound of ring tones or even the mp3 i play...............please tell me i have an alternative to disabssambling it
same problem
I believe i had the same issue.. and what i did wat do a hard reset and it solved the problem...
Perhaps you should try..
Possible causes of sound failure from main speaker are:
1. A2DP patch - there are threads discussing solutions to this problem.
2. Constant plugging/unplugging headset - does sound come out of the headset?
3. A hard bump to the unit causing a loose contact to the speaker terminals.
If the 1st two are not the culprits, then your next option is to hard reset and if that doesn't solve the problem then your last resort is to dismantle and clean the speaker contacts.
thank you guys for your help, i have hard reset the device..............but problem still there i think i will have to disassemble
any ways thank you for your help.............u guys are angels
No sound
I Had no sound from speaker took the top section off which unclips to show the speaker and when i gentley pressed the speaker sound came out of it...Have to get a new speaker. put a tiny piece of foam from an earplug between the case and the speaker for now.It works but not quite as loud as normal.......but it is a fix if yures is the same problem........
it is a hardwar issue not a software
you have to open the phone and check the earpeice first and after that you have to check the thing under the earpeice because it has a connector attached to the board . therefore you have to check the legs of the connector
that is all :wink:
I NEED HELP,
it was working fine, and from a moment to other, sound only with phones or bluetooth, if someone call me it rings, but a can´t talk an ear anything. if i put music..... nothing, and if i put some phones it´s ok..... it´s driving me crazy...
PLLLEASE a i need Help
sorry for my english
Hi,
i have the same problem with my prophet. It's heppens half year after flashing of the new WM6 ROM.
Is the hardware dead? Can some one give help?
Best regards,
Paschka
I had a similar problem a few years back.
Since i often used the Handsfree over cable (3,5mm jack), i one day wasn't able to hear anything over the speakers any more.
Turns out that a metal pin had tired inside the 3,5mm jack.
Resolution to that was to open up the case, flip a pin over in the jack and it worked..
Unfortunately i can't provide you with any pictures, as my phone will soon fall apart from all the open/closing..
Hope it helps!
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?

so it plays notifications through the rear speaker but it wont play music and the phones mic and speaker dont work while calling.

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.
