There was a thread here about that the voice from the earpiece is distorted. I experienced to have a similar problem. From the first day the sound was excellent but in 2 months it changed to distorted and then become very-very weak. At the same time the sound was good if a loudspeaker is on or if the hands-free is connected. Thus, I supposed that the contact becomes bad. To fix it, I disassembled the device. The *.pdf-file how to do that is included (33 megs). When the contacts were formed so they touch firmly the corresponding places on the printed board and the device was assembled, I heard nice voice from the earpiece.
So, in some cases the problem with the sound may be due to weak contacts. I suppose the contacts may become poor because the material for the outputs on the earpiece is not so elastic plus influence of vibration from the vibromotor plus influence of humidity.
Backup the system before disassembly because during this the backup battery may discharge completely!
Sorry wasn't logged on...
Thanks a lot I got this problem long time ago but I don't know how to disassemble it so I always try to shake it to fix ......
Great ! Very useful
Thanks
thanks for the guide..... very useful
Where can I find the 33meg pdf? I need to disassemble the device too...

That is what I thought th first time I opened my MDA Compact! Believe me I am the very first one I did when the device first came out! After lots of research let me tell you this:
IT IS NOT THE CONTACTS! IT IS THE SPEAKER! The membrane is of low quality when you open the device and "fixing" the contacts it will only make it to work for a few phone calls up to a couple of days at most! The speaker is burnt by the high amount of volume the motherboard of JAM gives to the speaker! If you want to solve your problem then you ll have to find a Nokia Center and buy a speaker for a Nokia 6610! Nokia 6610 and HTC Magician have exactly the same speaker! The only thing you have to do is to change nokia's black cloth ribbon on the top of the speaker with HTC's black rubber get it into your magician and there you are! You have a perfect sound again! My only advise is to use the call volume just a click less than the maximum volume so you won't blow away your new speaker!
I dissasembled and reassembled my MDA compact more than 11 times trying fixing the contacts with no permanent result! After replacing the speaker with a Nokias's 6610 speaker everything seems to work like a dream for at least a month now! :wink:
Its much more easier to get Nokia's spare parts than HTC's! The speaker cost me 18euros!
any chances you could post us nice pictures of these manipulations ?
I would love to do that but please I don't think that my magician could survive one more disassembly! :twisted: In case of replacing a friend's speaker next week who has the same problem I will make sure I get those pics! Magician is extremely easy to be taken apart! The only hard parts in the removing process are the upper backplate which has to be removed very carefully in order to be fitted back in its place afterwards and the front faceplate where you will need something very thin like a thin knife or even better a razor to take it away from the black plastic on the sides! :wink:
where is the link to the pdf
Hey guys,
I cannot see the link to the pdf. I need to disassemble my Jam too.
Thanx, Martido
Sorry, I found it. Just woke up....
Oh, thank god, I'm not the only one, with this problem. But first i have two questions? Will i loose my warrenty when i open the device? Can O² discover that i opened it?
Did this contact fix solve the problem entirely, or not? Because katsj says the problem is the speaker!
Thank you in advance, such a great community!

Edit:
I read the PDF File and i have to say .. this is simlply impossible! You can cause so much damage .... i dont know where to begin. One small mistake and you can't forget your PDA. I think this is highly to dangerous. Is there no easier way to solve the problem ... some ideas??
Or do the pictures lie and it isnt that complicated??

My sound disappears during call...
Strange, during a call after a few minutes my sound disappears. I can hear the other caller, the other calleer can't hear me anymore...
But now I found a strange solution: when I pull up the volume button n the left a few times (it was already at maximum!) my sound is back!
Has anyone the same experience or a better solution?
I think when you pull up the volume there is this small tone and you hear this tone from the loudspeaker.
After you hear the tone, you cant here anything again, right?
I'm driving really crazy, i loved this XDA Mini since this prob occured and i want to find a solution as soon as possible ! I really dont know what to do
When i push against sd-card slot from inside, i hear everything .. again, so this is just a really small prob ..
I hope sb. find a solution quickly otherwise ... i dont know

I think it's a contact problem, so maybe the problem isn't that small... I don't want to open my device.
I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM or with the software.
(I wish it would, then there would be a solution in the end)
I had this problem too and found a fix:
I assume that while you are making a call, there is no audio from the earpiece. While on the call, adjust the volume up or down with the volume slider button. if you hear faint beeps and faint audio right after the beeps, your earpiece is working but there is a software glitch caused by the headphone jack.
Reset your device. Make a call (i.e. to your voicemail) and make sure there is audio incoming. Connect the (wired) headset. Disconnect the headset and you shoud now hear audio from the earpiece. You may have to reconnect/disconnect the headset a few times.
thanks
thanks for the pdf. ill check it right away!
U ROCK
THX GUYS>>>U ROCK...........I was soo worried.....
thx again..
Thanx dudes for the nokiaspeaker tip!
Just received my on ebay ordered nokia speaker and within a few minutes I fixed mine magician thanx to the pdf & already gainted knowledge on this page!
I bought this phone a year ago for a very nice price because of the damaged speaker and now at last I repeared it just for €3,- (instead of sending it to Orange risking over €100; I`m Dutch ya know )
hi guys...pulling this one out from the past....my magician has all the symptoms above, but with no luck, the replacement speaker did not do the trick...any other ideas/details/downloads....anything to get the audio back???\
BTW, i can hear glitches of sound if i play with the volume tab. That is to say, if i push it up, i hear the tone "ding" and i can hear the voice on the other end for a split second! So i must be close, no????
Hi guys - my ext speaker stopped working about a month ago, after intermittent periods of working on and off. I read in a post here somewhere that there is possibly some issue with the hands-free jack not 'disengaging', but can't find any more details. Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks in advance
simple thing to do is to plug in ur hands free set and then unlug it again ( sometimes it wont relize that u already unpluged the handsfree so just do it again )
if that dont work then there may be something wrong with ur speaker some of the members had a problem with it and when they opened it they found that the contacts of the speaker phone werent connected tightly but do a search for thoseposts and read up on it properly before u try to open ur phone
Cheers for the info. As for plugging the hands-free in... well, the hamster escaped and chewed through it, and it was in the bin before I realised I might need it...... I'll certainly look up the speaker posts you mention.
Thanks again
Regards
Hi all,
i have a little problem with my M3100.
When I am speaking to the telephone, some time, I do not hear any more for some seconds.
I remain without volume. Then, after some seconds it returns to hear.
I do also a hardreset but nothing.
Someone had already succeeded ? i must open it ?
Thanks all
Denis

Yes it is warranty voiding - I would always advise using warranty in preference to a do-it-yourself fix.

Hi Denis
Ok - of course it is possible the speaker is faulty and not just the contacts.
Mike
Hi there,
do you know please if (with the tester) the 2 contacts must close or not ?
Usualy (afaik) the speakers must have conductor betwen 2 contacts ... or not ?
I tell you this because, i test the 2 contacts of my little speaker and there was no close circuit.
Do you know where can i faound another speaker please ?
Thanks again

On your meter you should NOT have an open circuit there should be a resistance reading not infinity (open circuit).
Another test you can do with some meters (ones that have a resistance multiplier X1 X10 X1000) is set it to X10 resistance scale and tap the probes on the speaker connections. You should hear a faint click in the speaker. This works because the meter delivers a small current in order to measure the resistance.
I forget now if it is the front or rear speaker you are having problems with?
Mike
Hi Mike,
i opened yesterday night again (sorry but i was in hollyday)
i so that the front speaker was interupted (not conduct)
... i opened the little speaker i repair it (so so hard) the wire is so little.
Now is work ... but the sound is little strident... maybe because of the worm
think that i used to paste the wire.
Anyway... now i'm looking to buy a speaker... the front one
... do you know some site where can i buy ?
Thanks for all

I don't know of a source for the official front speaker, but the motorola L6/L7 earpiece/speaker fits and works. Not exactly identical but similar.

just to warn you - you will loose all your information on the device - so take precautions, synchronize with PC... The hard reset is performed the following way - Press and hold the Camera and the CommManager buttons and in the same time reset the device with the stylus. Do not release the Camera and the CommManager button until you see a text asking you to format the FAT. Then press send and you are ready...
so that means ill even loose operating system? how would i go about putting it back on?
Jeez i sound like such a useless bugger, i build pc's for part of my living lol
All this mobile stuff is new to me though.
Thanks
EDIT :
just done hard reset, and its still got no sound
Col
well well, just upgraded to wm6, and still no sound, also, speakerphone in calls doesnt work, i get no ringtone, this is pissing me off lol
I just want my sound back lol
Col
heeelllpp
someone must have an answer lol
Col
ok, just found a 2.5 TO 3.5 JACK THINGY for sale at maplins, will go tmoro and then try headphones on it if that fails then i have no idea what steps to take next
Colin
does it have sound when u plugin ur headset? do you always plugin ur headset to the phone? i maybe think there's something wrong with the headset jack or slot, either short circuit or whatever, i am not sure as i am no expert.
last time my neo also like that..u can try and put the headset back in again, then try to remove it again, but maybe slowly. try a few times and i think it will be ok. from that that time onwards, i never use the headset...bought a bluetooth headset.
it worked fine last nite, and ive never used a headset. thats why im gonna buy a 2.5 jack to try some headphones tommorow, see if i get sound from them. ah well, have it less than a day and it breaks lol
Cheers
Colin
FIXED
was the red wire on speaker lol
w000t
Col
How did you fix that ?
My S200 have the same problem , i have a paper up the speaker on the red wire, but sometimes it rings,and sometimes not.
What is your trick ?
Check out this thread, it may help...

This post is for the Magician, but it may help with your prophet too.
Also, there was talk about a software bug that caused problems like this. The solution was to:
Call voicemail (or somewhere that you KNOW is generating sound)
Plug in your Headset, listen for sound...
Unplug the headset.
I dont know if that was the exact solution. The above post has a link to other posts, as well.

i think your speaker is out. same problem as mine, tried the 'sponge' method & worked for a while, think mine needs to be replaced. prophet speakers tend to have a lot of problems from what i gather...
try searching in the prophet forum for 'speaker' u can find the thread that i'm talking about.
Hello, ppl im having this problem first time, i guess u have the sol. to it one day i plugged in my Handsfree and listen some songs then plugged it out and NEXT day i found tht its speakers arnt working, no matter wht i play no sound, not even in calls, but whn a call comes it rings the ringtone f9, i dont know whts happening if any one of u knw thn please tell me. THNX in Advance.
The title is interesant...
Maybe... a problem with the conector
one day i read this freaking thread that many people has this issue... and it seems that the audio plugin has trhe or four litlle pins inside and they has a little trash inside making contact betwen them and the solution was.... blow up inside of the conector...
Amazing isnt it...
The ringtone sounds because with winmobile 6.1 the ring sounds in your earphone or freehands and in the speakers too so maybe it is your problem..
Check it men and... if you wish disassembly your device.
see pimp my wizard on my signature link I have upload a tutorial for diassembly it
