open , choose an better speaker, replace with it
replace with what though? The mini speaker itself is very small. A better alternative would be to get a charging cradle with audio out and connect up a pair of speakers to the cradle or get a cradle speaker from Expansys.
Get a different phone is how you do it.
Or buy a hi-fi speaker connect to your ppc....
my speaker died.. i opened it up.. removed speaker.. now looking for another to replace it. Maybe a headphone/earphone speaker might fit...
I can´t find the thread. But a long time ago, somebody posted that he had replaced it with a nokia 6100 speaker.
shine on
Is this the speaker on the back of the phone, next to the camera that people are talking about ? or the ear piece one ?
im not sure if it is meant for that particular speaker, but the nokia ngage speaker apparently has the same piece as the imate jam and is therefore interchangeable..
The mini speaker can be made louder by upgrading the rom
i also have front speaker defekt, i bought new one for nokia 6610, the same has ngage and some other
it is the same speaker as in our mda compact, it works without problem!
arek
Please I need help, my front earpiece speaker is damaged, I need a new one or a replacement that works for the I-Mate Jam. Anybody can help me about this issue.
I did replace mine with one from a nokia 3200. Cheap to buy used if U cant find the earpice as spare part. was a great improvment from the cheap earpiece htc used in the magician. same size but much better sound and uses springs to connect to motherboard.
Best regards
Carlis.
OK so as my previous post goes, my dopod 818pro's rear speaker went dead again. the 2nd time, and I've only been using it for 5-6 months now.
I just got back from the service center. and I was bumed when they say, that replacements speakers are out of stock and I had to wait for more or less a month before I can get it fixed. the person I met there didn't deny that there's been lots of problems with the speakers, he does said that the next batch of speakers will be a different one, and supposedly a better build speaker. and the first batch coming in to indo.
Can anyone outside of indo confirm that dopod is putting a new and better speaker.
don't take me wrong, I love my dopod. stable, and has good battery live. except short wi-fi range that I could live with.
And another thing, I use letter recognizer a lot. and it seems that the part of the LCD where I use to type a lot become less and less sensitive overtime. Anyone else having the same problem? or am I the only one?
my speaker went dead too..a few days ago...not that I use it much...only inconvenience for me right now is that I need to keep it in vibrate mode all the time..
.....uhm..
I Had problems with the earphone connector ( 2,5 mm stereo jack) ; in practise after a long use of the external earset , the internal loudspeaker was completely out of work....
I opened my prophet and I discovered thast the loudspeaker was ok but the problem was in a the very little contact inside the connector ; it was not able to close a serial contact . it is a critical point , in my opinion , and only after having opened the 2,5 female connector (!!) I was able to restart correctly the sound ; now everytime a connect the 2,5 male jack I'ma afraid....
My speaker went dead as well. I was suspecting the headphone jack because I had just used it.
However, I opened the phone, and also the black headphone jack socket casing. You are right, it is very vulnerable. But in my case it was working perfectly.
In fact when I closed the phone I realised that the phone was not remaining in headset mode after all...the front speaker (the one to hear conversations) works according to if the headset is plugged in or not.
Conclusion: there must be something wrong with the rear speaker itself. Any ideas where to source a new one?
Hi,
I am wondering what the most convenient way to take my wired earbud with me so that I can listen to music, or making a call using the headphones.
Which earbud pouch do you use ?
Just putting the earbud in the one's pocket is not a good idea, it gets dirty, and the wired get tangled.
I prefer by far a wired to a bluetooth hearphone, because I hate having to bother about another device to charge.
I am using the original HTC Kaiser headphone, because I find it a lot better than any other for the simple reason that it has a volume slider contrary to the HS U110 (cf. http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=155073&p=tech ). And although the E100 (cf. http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=150195 ) has a volume slider, I do not have the use of the other functionalities because I use CorePlayer software exclusively (I also recommend you to do so by the way).
Could you share in this thread, how you carry your wired earbud together with you kaiser ?
Chris
Where did your TyTN II come from?
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. It's interesting that your original Kaiser wired headset has a volume slider because mine does not. The other problem you haven't mentioned with putting the headset wound up in a pocket or bag is that the earpad foam 'socks' often get pulled off.
It seems like HTC (at least here in the UK) are missing the boat big time. Not only do they not supply a case to carry the headset, they also don't supply replacement earpad socks. Fortunately the Motorola ones are interchangable. There are rubberised devices shaped like a dog bone meant for coiling up headset wires but I'd prefer a small fully enclosed case. I'm considering buying a new inner ear style headset soon anyway (as soon as the manufacturer releases a straight plug version that doesn't need an adapter), they suggested I get back to them early in May. This will hopefully resolve the whole issue.
Another think I did not mention: the bend of the headphone mini-USB like jack is done in the wrong direction !! I can't believe it. Mine is bent to the right, which is very annoying to take the stylus in and out !
Do you have your headphone mini-USB like jack bent to the left ??

I have the same problem as you. Does someone have a suggestion on how to carry the HTC Kaiser wired headphone with you so that you can use it every time you need it ?

No the headset that came with my HTC branded TyTN II bought in the UK have a straight plug with HTC moulded onto it. It sounds like you dont have the original headset that comes with the TyTN II (at least not here in the UK).

Hi guys !
You were correct, I mixed up the headphones of the HTC Kaiser and the HTC TyTN 1. This is because I had a HTC TyTN 1 (I still have it) before my current HTC Kaiser.
Here is a picture of the headphones of sold with my HTC Kaiser and my HTC TyTN 1 :
Original headphone sold with my HTC Kaiser:
There is no volume slider which is really annoying for me to ajust the sound ! (on the PPC it is cumbersome to change it)
Original headphone sold with my HTC TyTN 1:
The mini-USB jack is bent to the Wrong direction, which is really annoying to get the stylus In and Out of its slot.
So both of them have big drawback !
If you want some earphones of the type that go right into your ear then Seidio may have something in the not to distant future (currently the plug is bent as per TyTN 1 but in an email response to me they said to get back to them around now for an update). I think in terms of getting such a product to market quickly, the more the merrier who contact them about this (and ask for a good holder box/case with them).
Yes, that would be a good news, do you have a photo of the beta product ? or link to it ?

No but I imagine it'll be a cross between this 2-IN-1 InEar ISOLATOR and the straight plug as per your standard TyTN II headset. As for the case/holder, thats anyones guess but as I'm wanting a non retractable one, it's important they do that right. You may want to see if they're after any Beta testers?
I do agree with you a retractable cable it not that good because it is a weight when you use your earbud.
What about this headset: http://www.expansys.fr/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=155073
Apparently you can plug any earbud on it.
Does it have a volume slider ?
Does it have a straight mini-USB ?

Not only that but the retractor mechanism is another part to break and I prefer the KISS formula for such things!

The picture shows a 3.5 mm (1/8") plug on the headset itself with an adapter plugged into it so it can be used with a TyTN II. It's also a standard size 'outer ear' type earbud rather than the sort I want that go right into the ear canal. No vol slider shown (or mentioned) and as it's described as suitable for a TyTN II it must come with HTC’s 'ExtUSB' plug on the end of the adapter. In short, if you want an outer ear solution you're better off getting the original style headset with ExtUSB plug built in so there's no need for an adapter or added complexity and cost.

This one here bends to the left & therefore doesn't get in the way of your stylus (you can take that statement in so many different ways )... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2169054&postcount=7
I contacted the Seido online people for an update recently and got a most unhelpful response. Following from the earlier promising email I received, it appears nothing has been accomplished. I can't believe they're not interested in tweaking their product by fitting a straight plug (which they already use on their adapter anyway) so TyTN II users can use their product without problems. I also got the door slammed regarding my querie about a suitable storage case. Maybe the operator was having a bad day - I know I was after that call.
Has anyone else had any luck sourcing an inner ear style headset with mic and answer button which doesn't require an adapter for the TyTN II? What about a storage case for it? I found the 'earbuddy' for ipod headphones but after speaking with a staffmember at a company selling them, he advised me that his mobile phone headset with mic didn't fit as the earbuddy was to small and didn't have space for the mic.

Plantronics Pulsar 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
I let it hanging loose when I listen to music (its hanging balanced around my neck), otherwise I have I have connected it to this Telenor neckless in the end (the plastic thingy I used prolly weigh about 3g or so). Thats daily usag, hanging around my neck ready to just pop out and put into my ear on incomming calls or so.
I got that idea from one of the latest jabra pieces who are shipped out whit same solution, only not fancy as mine

I have found this a way to avoid knot in the headphon thread: http://www.proporta.fr/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=2473&t_mode=des
Thanks for your replies chris247. I've also seen those extUSB to 3.5 mm adapters but alas that would still mean an extra join in the system which I don't want. Aside from something else to possibly come unplugged, it's an extra part to potentially fail and extra weight pulling on the cable.
As far as the cable tidy goes I've also seen those things shaped like a dog bone but since finding the sendstation 'earbuddy' http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/earbuddy/ for ipod headphones (and seeing someone coil up there headphones and store them away in a purpose made pouch while on the train), I'd rather something that fully encloses them and protects them as well.
In answer to the original question... I purchased a set of Sony headphones from my local Tesco about a year ago. Came with a little grey drawstring bag (about 3in square). Takes the TnTy II headset no problem.
Sony earphones set me back about £10 - bit much to pay for a bag tho'

Do you coil the wire up around anything first or just untangle it when you get them out of the bag? If anyone knows of a phone that does come with a dedicated holder for the supplied wired headphones (with a mic built in) - perhaps this could be bought as a spare part. Do any phone manufacturers know what a 'value added' accessory is?
I think the Sony accessory for the earplug is good idea:
It is a good way to protect the fragile earplugs
I replaced the housing on my old BB Pearl, and my G1 (which was way, way more complicated).
I've got a Magic now, and the ear speaker is acting up. When I make a call, sometimes the ear speaker is just dead - I can switch to the speakerphone no problem, and then when I switch back I usually have sound in the ear speaker, but I suspect physical speaker damage because sometimes it'll cut out and I can squeeze the top of the headset just right and it'll come back. Crossing my fingers that it's not something else electronic in the board.
I want to replace it - and while I've got it apart, may as well give it a new body since they are only $10-$15. (wish I could upgrade it to the Fender body with the 3.5mm headphone jack lol)
Problem is, although I can find new housings all over the place (including eBay), I can't find the replacement speaker anywhere but some GlobalPartsDirect website, and they have a 5-unit minimum wholesale order quantity.
Any suggestions on where to look? Thanks in advance!!
Bump on this-
I had PM'd a seller on Ebay who said they had one - just waited over 3 weeks for it to arrive, only to discover they sent me a replacement speakerphone speaker.
I could not have been clearer with them that it was the ear speaker that was not working.
Any help is appreciated - I now need to resolve this urgently, as I can't use my phone as a phone, and I'm postponing all sorts of things that I need to resolve - of course the timing is such that I need to liquidate some things and I can't set up Craigslist ads because I can't talk on my phone. Please help!
