Hi everyone. Sorry about my first post is asking for help... but I really don't know what to do.
well the problem is that i don't hear sound in a call but the people can Hear-me.
but the speaker is working, bacause if I use the volume buttons (the side ones) they play the beeps and in the midle of that I can ear the other person for abou 2secs.
for reference the speakerphone works ( 3 seconds pressing the green) an the hands free earphone.
I think its no hardware but... i dont know
I've got that problem aswell....i've already opened the phone so to figure out what was happening...The thing is: there's 2 speakers: one loudspeaker and one earspeaker.
What most certainly happened to your phone was that your earspeaker went dead. you hear sounds when you move the side button up and down, because what is broken is the earspeaker, NOT the loudspeaker.
If you want to do a small test, just call someone, and press the green button for 3 secs. you'll start hearing the other person, which proves that the loudspeaker is OK, but the earspeaker is dead.
Solution: go to where you bought your phone and ask for a earspeaker replacement.
BTW: there's a pdf somewhere on this site related to this issue, that explains how to open the phone and how to clean the earspeaker conectors so to "revive" your earspeaker, but honestly, that doesn't work 99,999% of the cases. Usually, the issue is that the earspeaker is simply DEAD. Period. Did you [or someone] by any chance dropped the phone sometime ago? - That's what happened to me...1-2 days afterwards, the earspeaker went dead.
P.S.:
- Don't you open the phone...there's too many small parts...i opened mine and a small ribbon lock got broken...now i can't even repair it under the warranty agreement.
- If you have a modded firmware, just install a original one from the Qtek site if you want to activate your warranty. (yes - they will "blacklist" your phone for life if you go there with a modded firmware - only way to solve it is to pay up for the repair).

Thanks for the reply.
Well I did opened the phone yesterday 2 times trying to clean the contacts and give it a little bit more strong... but didn't work, I found with one friend that if aI press a little bit with the fingers near de opening the speaker starts to work, but when I take the pression away stops... well, the speakers is connected to a daughter board so maybe the problem is the connection of the daughterboard to the motherboard.... will try that friday with my friend... and well no chance to fix it. buyed this week on Ebay... for a good price... but anyway dont worry about opening the phone, I studied electronics, and I am used to work with electronics... but this phone its really well assembled!!!!!
anyway some one can tell me where to find that pdf that you talked about?
Google: magician disassembly

I have the same problem on my second magician. Had to dump the first one because of it. The speaker turns on and off but you can always have it working for a second or so when you drag the volume 'slider' (the hardware one on the side of the device). Then it goes silent after you release the volume control.
I brought my first device to the service center. They replaced the speaker but it got broken again on the following day. I was not able to fix it since then so i have to use either the earphone set or the speakerphone (hold the green button) to be able to hear the person I am speaking to.
Boas, eu comprei o meu a um amigo e o telefone nunca tinha dado problemas, trabalhou 5* durante a semana em que estive de ferias, quando voltei ao trabalho, eu trabalho numa camera de rifregeração a 8º e estou sempre dentro e fora, ele começou a ter esse problema, mas descontinuadamente, deixei de o levar para a camera e ele nunca mais se passou.
Conclusão final, o problema é devido não ao frio em si, mas sim á condensação provocada pela brusca variação de temperaturas a que ele está sujeito.
Good, I bought mine to a friend and the telephone never had given problems, worked 5 * during the week where it stows of you wounded, when I came back to the work, I I work in one camera of rifregeração 8º and am always inside and it are, it started to have this problem, but descontinuadamente, I left of leading for camera and it never more transferred itself. Final conclusion, the problem must not to the cold in itself, but yes á condensation provoked for the brusque variation of temperatures the one that it is subject.

Hi all.
My Imate Jam have the front speaker with some kind of problem... When using it as Mobile Phone I can speak but I cannot hear the other person because the volume is tooooooooo low. I think it's a hardware problem after some times it felt on the ground.
I understand that the front speak sends the phone sound and the back speaker sends the media (mp3, video, etc) sound... Is this correct?
Lets assume this is correct and my front speaker is broken. Can I send the phone sound (voice) to the back speaker and use it like a "hands-free" phone?
ThankS!
Just press the green phonebutton for 2 à 3 secs and voilà you use the back speaker.
But now for another question: where to find some replacement speaker?
It starts being irrtating that a the people in the room in wich i am calling can hear the whole conversation :x
Someones got a clue? I opened my phone already to clean the speakerconnections according a helpfile form this site, but nothing happened!
THANKS for the tip!! So simple!!! Very thanks.
I couldnt find a replacement... I live in Brazil and doesnt have support for Imate here.
Can you send me link to the post that explains how to open to try to clean mine??
Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26370&highlight=speaker+nokia
In the lower part one guy claims the speaker is the same as on certain Nokia devices. You should easily be able to find replacement speakers for those Nokia devices (or salvage a defective one from ebay where the speaker is functional).
Hope it helps.
Or buy a cheap BT earpiece. Got one yesterday for just €25 from Vivanco. Till Now it works fine & no big phone in your hands as well
Regards, M
I bought a HS850 BT from Motorola and works fine... But I like having choices... I will try to open it and check the speaker.
Thanks for all the tips!!!
I already tried a nokia 6600 speaker but that one is bigger than the phonespeaker .I think he ment that it fits as the rearspeaker, but Im not sure on that (didn`t pay attention on that, though my rearspeaker is fine).
I think I will go for a stereo bleutooth headset, because Orange thinks that it maybe will cost me over 100€
Whoah! Back up there!
SOrry about the interruption to this thread, but did I read that you can have the phone-call sound seperate to the mp3 output?
I need to have the phonecalls on bluetooth and tomtom instructions from the speaker AT THE SAME TIME.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I tried it on a XDAIIs earlier this year, but failed miserably.
The same problem occurred with a phone I just bought on EBay.
And I just found the solution elsewhere on this Forum.
Remove your SD card and the problem is solved. At least for me it is solved.
I don't know if it will work in your case or not.
Good luck.
Jeff
Just done it today after reading this thread, my I-Mate Jam internal earpiece (only used to hear callers in phone conversations) has been out of action since it went a bit flakey six months ago, been using headset and handsfree ever since! First I didn't want to send it to the UK service depot for fear I'd be without it for months, and then I couldn't find my proof of purchase!
I opened it up about a month ago to find the earpiece speaker had died, but I couldn't find a replacement anywhere. After reading this message though I thought I'd check the speaker in my old Nokia 6600, and lo-and-behold, it was identical!
My Jam is now working again as good as new, and the donor Nokia will hopefully be back on it's feet when the sub-£5 replacement comes from the ebay shop!
Thanks all who've contributed to this post!

ok this is a bit funny
handsfree earphone works,,,but the ear phone in the mda compact doesnt work
the normal sound speaker works,,just not the phone speaker
ok it works stuttery when i press up on the slide switch and i can hear the caller kinda stuttering
wierd software rpoblem i think
its not hardware problem as the slider makes it work,,if i constantly press up o the slider but then i hear the caller and the beep beep it makes to tell you its at full volume
My qtek s110 is doing the same thing after i dropped it, could i have knocked the contacts?
Can anyone explain why the volume slider would make it work.
Cheers
I think its a hardware prob only! Cz if the volume slider is getting the sound volume increased, you guys still couldnt get the full volume right? If so, its probably the speaker or its contacts getting the problem!

solution for no noise problems
Hey guys and girls, I also had problems with “no noise from the earpiece only.. and were puzzled with the problem for few days….until found the reason behind it.
As I am a lover with high-tech devices, I really wanted to fix this problem by myself (not prepared to pay few hundred dollars for repair from technicians).
I also want to contribute something on this site, as I have read great information’s from this site.
Here it goes.
I had this "no noise issue" problem with one of my device (have 2 sets of o2 mini) had no sound on the earpiece only (meaning speakerphone, hands free mic all works perfectly).
Now, to make everything short, I have done a great research with few personal technicians and even official technician from O2 Company and found the answers for this problem.
The fault actually lies with what is called the "Audio Daughter Board". It is a removable internal PCB that the speaker contacts to receive its audio signal from the phone. The board has a connector that is soldered to it which sits on another connector that is soldered to the main board. Both of these connectors can become removed from their respective solder connections usually as a result of a fall or physical impact. Usually all that is needed is a touch up of the solder points.
This Audio “daughter board” is connected with black connector at right hand side only, and the rest of the board with double sticky tape.
Most likely, the black connector has been disconnected to the “daughter board during drop of the device, as you need to solder the parts back (black connector has 14 legs, 7 on the left and 7 on the right) to get your earpiece sound back to normal.
I have done it, so can you (very small legs, so has to have delicate hands).
Now, mine works like a charm…. So happy…
After all, it was neither the programs, nor the legs of the earpiece, but the actual connection between the boards itself.
Hope my information helped.
Cheers
PS: I have updated my device to 2003 second edition with radio 1.13.00 but have no idea where to get pda programs. Can anyone let me know where to find such good programs?
It works!!!! Thanks
Your a genius
Hi im so happy it worked. I bought even a new speaker but this was noit the problem.
The internal speaker is now working but i found another problem with the ring tone liudness which i have to clarify now. So the serach will start again for me.
Again thanks.
Hi need help from all of u.
Hi my o2 mini have this problem, i can't hear anthing from the caller but they can hear me.may i know how to get the problem done, hope all of u can help me thank You.
bluehanul76
You really rock m8.
I was very doubfull that this would work. I have tried everything else people has suggested to no avail.
BUT I thought I have nothing to lose in trying you suggestion.
And it worked. It really worked.
Thank you very much.
Sorry for what am i going to say, maybe i did not get things clear...
How on earth can you solder the black connector both on the main motherboard and on the audio daughter board? Am just asking cause my magician had a broken earpiece and when i open it to replace it the phone died. Strange thing is that when i remove the storage card it comes alive again but no sound from the earpiece. So this solution is great although i had to make the question just to know how to handle things.
Thanks guys
Got it guys, the one connector on the main board was detached completeley and got stuck into the other. That is why i thought that it was one piece.
Man , i said to myself how come these people got it soldered , they must all have personal nano robots lol
Update:
Burned the small black connector tha sits on the main rboard
Any chance for someone to know what sort of PCB is this so i can purchase one?
Firts of anything sorry for my inglish but i´m portuguese and my inglish is a litle rusty.
I known there are a lot of people whith this problem and i had to. I tried a lot of things and i find a solution. The major problem of the this is that the black conector don´t conect very well whith audio bord, and i do a trick, so i thake a litle peace of cotton roll in powertape (like one that is on back of keybord) and a put it as way that when e close it make pressure in de audio border conector(in left of earpiece) agaist de front cover.
I hope I can help

i have the same problem, and i will try to do as instructed. if it succeed everyone have a drink on me
Hello.
I have the same problem ina Qtek s100 but , like I dont know very well how to do look for the hardware piece that you send me the picture file because i cannot download it from XDA, it dont appear. If you send me to [email protected] I will be gratefull.
Thank you
Strange problem. For the second time in one week, there is no sound in the earpiece when answering a call. I have to turn on the loudspeaker to hear the caller. Not so great when answering a private call among strangers...
The loudspeaker works fine for audio and calls. Only the earpiece is not working. I had read somewhere something about the headset jack messing up the contacts but I've not used it in ages. The last time this happened, it finally went away after many soft resets. Anyone else with this problem? And hopefully the solution!
I have the same problem with my SPV M3000 Orange.
that's what I have too...With the original ROM
Have you found a bypass?
No.
(J'ai contacté le SAV Orange et il me le change demain)
hi guys,
having a bit of a problem, for some reason the speaker and mic have stopped working. My prophet will look as though it is receiving a call, but when i come ot answer it is dead, its the same for audio, i i have the headphones unpluged no sound will come out of the external speaker what soever, even though it shows it is working in the media player.
anybody have anyideas? i tried a rom change which did nothing at all, wondering if my prophet is close to the end!!
thanks
p.s the audio seems to work fine if i use my headphones
i really want to know the answer to this problem cause same thing happened to me 1 month. I took the phone to a service center and for 35E he fix it and i wanna know what he did
P.S.: don't worry ur phone is not to an end
hey i had the same problem over the weekend. initially it was my external speakers, knew it was the problem for some time anyway, but suddenly when i try to make a call, i can't hear the dialing tone & when the person answers the call, they can't hear me. thought my 818pro was a goner.
hard reset, soft reset but still no avail. even went out & bought a very cheap nokia as temp replacement. then this morning somehow i can hear the dialing tone when i make a call & the phone bits are working as normal. even my external speakers!!!
so don't know what happened & what i did but somehow i got my phone to work again.
sorry i can't give you any tips on what i did though.....
where di you take it to get it fixed?
or anybody got any advice on where to go from here?
Hey.. yesterday I had the same problem... but I think I have found the solution.... a very hard reset..... you have to take off your battery and put it back after 2 hours.
Kukutis
mine just went back to normal. don't know what i did. yeah, try taking the battery out, soft reset and as a last resort.... hard reset. make sure u backup all ur data if u still want them....
right i tried that, took the battery off for the whole night and still no success!
anyone know what needs fixing here?
Yes! I thought i was alone, but my SPV m600 (prophet) has been having speaker glitches for a little while.
At first, I noticed it after i'd removed the handsfree set. The sound did not return, so I rebooted, hard reset etc. Nothing changed. Then I thought that it could be a problem with the socket, so I used the jack of the set to wiggle it about, and eventually, it came back.
Then, it started happening every time I used the headphones. Fiddling about inside with the jack no longer did it, when I realised what I was doing at the same time the first time, flicking the volume back and forth, so I tried that, and it worked.
Then, most recently, i'd pick up a call, and there'd be silence. Then, it'd cut in. Now, the sound goes randomly. It's gone twice today, and it took me a long time of volume flicking to get it back.
Has anyone found a solution or contacted the manufacturer?
same thing happen to mine, removed the headset and speaker wouldnt work.
Ended up sending it in to get fixed, took 6 weeks and they replaced the speaker. That didnt solve the problem, so they fully replaced the motherboard
Screw that, I'll just wait a few months until my upgrade.
?
thats a good call, upgrade it is and think it might be time for a touch or a Trinity, anyone want to buy a prophet for spares or repair?
anyone need one? think its time for a change
let me know
thanks
Hello,
the problem is in the heaset jack. There is a little switch in that jack that causes the speaker to shut down while the headset is plugged in.... But now when you pull it out the switch hangs and it won't switch back... I already had the problem mysself and since then I try to avoid using that jack. A method to get the speakers back to work is: Playing a song on the phone and plug and unplug the headset until it works.... (In mycase it solved the problem, but I can't guarantee that it WILL work....)
I think, that maybe changing that jack would solve that problem.....
Same here. After playing a while with the headset sound came back. I don't believe i'll be using the headset from now on.
mine still isnt working, had it open and cant get to the switch in the headphone jack
try this:
put the earphones in the audiojack and while you slowly pull it out,
try to rotate it in all directions and press it outwards while doing so
maybe your sound will come on again because there is a small pin in the audiojack that is checking if your earphones are connected
and that can bend in ways it shouldn't bend and you phone still thinks your earphones are on
Lo siento pero no hablo inglés, aunque lo entiendo algo.
Para solucionar el problema hay que desmontar la tapa que cubre el altavoz y la lente de la cámara (no violas el sello de garantía) e insertar un trocito de gomaespuma (yo recorté un trocito de esas anillas que vienen en las bobinas de cd´s) entre el chasis de plástico y el centro del altavoz; vuelve a sonar más fuerte si cabe.
Por lo visto el defecto es que se despega la membrana y deja de vibrar.
Saludos
Hardware problem
I have another problem...After I installed WM6 Prophet VII, the external speaker became very soft...Can anyone help pls?Do I need to edit the registry or something?
Hi guys,
i've noticed a couple of problems with my Trophy chief of them being that i can barely hear my alarm clock going of on the device.
I've made a video of it and uploaded it to youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUL6zWK9mU8
Are any of you having the same issue?
I've contacted HTC and they told me to take it back to the store and ask for a replacement.
One of the other issues i have is that the volume of music sometimes is also quite low. I have to restart the device to get my music to sound loud enough.
Regards
J.
see the reply you got on youtube
its get louder the longer the alarm is going it seems
So it seems.
But that leaves me wondering how up to date the HTC support staff is concerning WP7.
Apparently it does get louder, but why would the support guy tell me to do a hard reset and if that doesn't help return the device to the store.
He clearly doesn't know enough about WP7

that happens to me all the time if i call a helpdesk , they just follow a procedure... If you are more experience with this stuff , then you wouldnt work @ a helpdesk
I think I just expected to much from the support guy, lesson learned there
Thanks for all your replies!
Hey Jokesp
Ik heb net hetzelfde probleem zoals jij
heb je ondertussen al een oplossing voor gevonden voor die
muziek volume die soms stiller is geworden?
thx!
@ Elchico
De enige oplossing is het herstarten van het toestel.
HTC is hiervan op de hoogte, nu enkel wachten op een oplossing van hen.
Mvg
guys, please keep it english. if you need use google/bing translator and post it's translation below your post.
just dont lay your device flat on the table. this blocks the speaker and reduces volume by half at least.
thats an option.
What bugs me about the alarm is that when it rings for quite a while (I'm a heavy sleeper) and you have set a couple of alarms, and let the second one kick in, it to starts to ring (still no biggy cause its supposed to wake you up). So when I finally get up and dismiss the both alarms, and I unlock the device the home-screen doesn't respond. The live tiles are still moving, and everything seems fine, but I cant select anything, I can lock the screen again, and undo the screen lock again but the home-screen won't respond, so I have to reboot the device.
Hope they'll fix this in the next update
mtem: the quick fix is to get a wife who's really grumpy in the morning and doesn't have to get up before at least an hour after you. Believe me, that'll wake you up when she wakes up from the alarm
Maybe I should make an alarm app and call it PMS alert or something
hahaha yeah that's an easy fix
i'll just have to learn to snooze it on time
Till there is a fix for this
for me, when i wake up to dismiss the alarm, it freezes at unlock screen. Unable to switch off. only way is to remove battery and restart.
