I have read about to put a cotton or something between Speaker and panel, but that solution doesn't seem good to me. So i start searchin for a similar Speaker, and i found it in Motorola L7. It perfect fits, and had contact pads, so you can easy solder da cables on it.
Hope was helpful!!!
thanks for this info. btw how come u upload a jpg image but renamed it to cab? from the picture, do u have 2 speakers now?
so you have to solder the cables?

my evo is a lil over a month old and the speaker is blown...the loud speaker in the back of the phone...when i have the volume up it sounds terrible...like a blown house/car speaker...is it hard to change? or should i unroot the phone and take it to sprint?
Yeah that's what I would do. When I had my front earpiece blown I took it to the sprint store and they replaced it while I waited. I would bring a book, because it took over an hour.
so i do have to have it unrooted to get it fixed?

Its not hard to change but the rear speakers seem to be of cheap quality. If you reallly want a good sound output try looking up the x mini 2 portable speaker. As for the rear speaker all you need is a t5 torx driver bit to open the screws on the back.
In my store we don't even look into whether it's rooted or not unless it's a software issue. I wouldn't worry about unrooting it. And as far as repair time, it takes me about 5 minutes to do it...so I don't know why it would take someone an hour. you just unscrew the back housing, pull the old one out, pop the new one in, screw it back together, and you're on your way.
I'd still unroot it just in case they look, couldn't hurt and it would suck if they flagged your account because of it.
Sent from my hand.
Mine is blown as well, it's really annoying with HTC. My hero, about 2-3 months and the speaker blew out.. I used pandora on it over that speaker a lot tho so once I bought my EVO I decided not to play music or anything on the speaker at all... just the ringtones and things like that... and it still effin blew in about 2 months and has been since.
I'm not really wanting to unroot and go through all the hassle but I would really like it fixed =\
**edit** After a quick google search, replacing the speaker looks really easy.. I might just give it a go myself. Where is a good place to get a few tools like the t5 driver? And do you guys know a good place to get a replacement speaker?

You can get the screwdriver at Sears and probably a Lowes/home depot
Sent from my Evo while i should be working
Lowes has a kobalt precison screwdriver set by the screwdrivers on the wall for about $7. Set comes with t4,t5,t6,t7,t8,t9,10 and t15. You can get the speaker off ebay. Same speaker thats in most htc devices. 5 minutes to install very easy if you dont want to unroot and dont have the repair plan.
You can get a replacement speaker form this guy for about $12.00. Or you can order a 5 pack of them for about $50.00 from globaldirect.com.
I'm not calling u a lier but he does have a point... I had a moment b4 and I took it to sprint to get an update and when I got there it took two hrs... and they bricked it on top of that and had to replace it.

PowerAMP has audio controls that could cause clipping of the sound (the distortion you hear). I'd try adjusting the EQ settings.

I haven't used this guy yet, but as my speaker is getting worse by the day I will shortly. I did a bunch of research on the net though, and a quite a few folks have ordered from him with good results. He orders the speakers from global direct (they have a 5 speaker minimum order), then he marks them up a little and resells them one at a time.

**edit** Nevermind, I see what you were saying. I just ordered one from him.. didn't like using paypal because I have a payment dispute currently not settled with them. They better not try to jack my credit card info, even tho I used the "don't have an account" option..
I'm having the same problem with both the rear speaker and the main speaker. I called Sprint and told me I would have to take it in. The closest repair facility is about 30 minutes away and with my current work schedule I wouldn't be able to get over there for a while. Called back and got a very knowledgeable tech who is having a replacement unit sent out.
Hope this doesn't happen again. I rarely have my phone at full volume, never play music over the rear speaker.

Just make a little research on ebay or google and you will get an idea of the prices.
Where you live for example can be a factor on the price...
Hi guys!
I just replaced my broken digitizer with one I bought on ebay, and the new one works fine.
However, the earpiece speaker does not work. Help!
Do any of you have any tips for me?
PS: I already threw away the old one when because the touchscreen seemed to work fine, so I can't just take the speaker from that.
I just bought a new digitizer off of taobao. It cost me 120 RMB ($19) and comes with a replacement front shell. When it arrives I'll install it. Good luck with your speaker, when I get mine in I'll look at the circuitry to see if I can find anything to help you.
EDIT: Replaced mine, it was pretty easy. On your speaker, did you reconnect the speaker wire correctly? Or did the wire get damaged? That's the only thing I could see that could go wrong with it.

I have the same problem. The speaker in the new digitizer is bigger than the old one.
An image showing the differences
Does anybody know where to get a fitting digitizer/speaker?
Seems like there are no right ones on ebay...
Update:
I've contacted the seller. I will send him the part number of my digitizer (printed on the cable) and he will try to get the right one for me.
The ebay seller is 'easyworldwidetrading'. I will update this post for the folks who need this kind of digitizer.
Update 2:
My digitizer is a "TM1564" model which will be send to me now.

Not really. Just had some email conversation with them/him.
The shop is called 'easyworldwidetrading' on ebay:
http://myworld.ebay.com.hk/easyworldwidetrading?ssPageName=ADME:L:OCE:1181
Haven't got the new digitizer yet. He wrote "It is OK, I will check about it and reship the TM1564 model touch screen to you, is it OK??". I am expecting to get it within the next two weeks. I will keep you updated if you want or you can write him on as I did. Maybe he will start selling the TM1564 on ebay too.
Old speaker with wrong digitizer
Hell,
i wonted to ask is it possible to use old small speaker in new digitizer replacing big speaker?
Is there any other differenc in digitizers other then speaker size?
If i take big speaker out and glue or attach small speaker in the place, can i work like that?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I had a look at the two digitizers and yes, I think that it is possible. If I can help you with images or anything else just send a msg to me.

Hello, i have tried and it works, so you can use your old speaker instead big speaker in digitizer. I just replaced big speaker with my old small speaker and it worked. You have to center it in digitizer and put something on top of the speaker i used double layer tape otherwise speaker is too much in and it doesn't make connection.
On top? You mean towards the ear?

You know, you don't have to replace the speaker and case. You can remove the digitizer from the case and put it in your old case with the smaller speaker.

He could not get it. But i've found another ebay seller which offers the TM1564 touch screen.
I've just ordered it. Will keep you updated if it works.

I changed the digitizer yesterday, it was very hard!!
Hey! I just replaced a broken screen and it went quite well, aside from the fact that my mic is not really working as it should anymore (it sounds like I am really far away whenever I speak). After the reassembly, I noticed one plastic piece which for the life of me I cannot find a suitable place for. Does anyone know where it is supposed to go?
I've never had that piece loose after replacing my screen (I've gone through 4!!).
The microphone problem seems to be a common problem with screen replacements (judging by xda, other forums and product reviews). I don't know a fix for that, but wanted to let you know it seems to be everyone
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Haha ok, no I haven't been able to spot it n any how-to video or anything so I am completely stumped. Does anyone know if the mic problem is fixable? Been googling a bit without result.
Edit: " end of my woes.
I had the same thing as adam in the end. its the little orange silicon bit that shields the microphone. it fits into the fornt cover near the microphone hole. I accidentally threw it away with the old cover and then had the problem. I had to buy a complete new casing in the edn but it is working fine now.

Found this in another thread, but... Hmmm, I know of the three orange parts and I have taken good care of them. None of those are clowe to the mic though, or perhaps I am mixing up the mic with somethng else? Oh well, there was somethng else about a rubber part behind the display, perhaps I'll just stick my rubber thingie in there. Yup.

Thank you! I will open it up again tonight and see if I can fix it. Apparently I also managed to cause some problem with the headset since the right earpiece no longer works. Only the left one... Seems like i really shouldnt do these kinds of repair work myself.
Edit: i think I used too much glue a the bottom while fastening the screen and that is why the mic is not working as it should. Just putting it here so others might take t ny consideration if they see this post. Guess the only way to fixit is to buy a new front.
I'm posting this as a guide to repairing your GPS at the hardware level after a teardown. So you decided to replace your broken screen, or put on some fancy back cover on your M8. Or even sent in your phone for repair just get it back with no GPS lock. You notice your phone sees satellites but can't get a fix/lock because the signal is to low. Simple fix. I've attached some images to help explain the process.
First you need to remove the back cover. Just the back cover. (This is a nice tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDsZLl_JzwA )
Second. Locate ITEM #1 at the top of the phone shown in the attached pictures. This is a copper metal tab that bends easily. My guess, this get bent during teardown.
Third. Locate ITEM #2 on the back cover shown in the attached pictures. This is a contact point for ITEM #1.
Fourth. Bend ITEM #1 so it contacts ITEM #2 when you reassemble the back cover. That's it.
Fifth. Download GPS Statues from the market and test your GPS.
Sixth. Hit the thanks button and enjoy a beer.
thank you
very nice idea and saved my day/week/month.... i tried everything regarding software, firmware and rom but nothing would help.
at the same time when i flashed to another rom i tried to fix my speaker and i had to remove the speaker cover.... i never thought of a hardware problem but my GPS is functioning well again now.

Yeah. Hard to see it in the video. That's just for teardown. Best is to check the pics. That tab should be at the top of the phone next to the power button. Unless yours is missing altogether. It is pretty flimsy.

Ouch! Not sure. I think it's soldiered to the board. You may want to use a generic piece of metal and just sandwich it place. It just has to touch the case.

Does anyone have a better picture of the tab? I think mine is broken off, but I can't tell from the blurry pictures. I tried stuffing aluminum foil in the gap, but I'm not sure if I'm touching the correct points. The phone is now locking a few satellites, but only barely enough - and it is super slow. This is better than without the foil, but not a ton better.
Thanks so much for sharing the info!
This fixed my no GPS locks after a back/case change.
I did break the metal clip slightly, so be very gentle, but kitchen foil did the trick.
ut.
