Internal phone speaker doesn't work

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my XDA Exec, basically, the internal phone speaker doesn't seem to work. External one is fine (the one on the outside of the case) but the one next to the screen does nothing.
It did work when I first bought it. I have since upgraded to the latest o2 rom. However I cannot remember if it stopped working exactly then or later!! Daft I know!
So I just wanted to ask if anyone else had this problem after upgrading the rom (I am using 1.30.107 WWE, radio version 1.09.00), and if so, is there a way to fix it? If there is no one else with this then I guess it is a hardware fault and will return it for repair, but wanted to check.
Cheers
Rick

Anyone? I don't mind if the answer is just "Mine works fine", I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this with the same rom version as mine, before I condemn it and return it to the shop.

I have the same o2 rom as you mentioned, and have encountered no problems. Im sure its a hardware problem, caused by dropping the phone etc, rather than a software one.
o2 offer a free replacement within 1 month if you got it directly from them, or I suppose you could get it repaired from somewhere. Im not sure if the speaker is covered under warranty, but might be worth a shot!

Thanks. I have had it about 4 months now I think, I would bloody hope the speaker is covered by the warranty though, phone ain't much use without it :shock:

By the way, are you sure the incall volume is turned up!!! Just making sure!
If it is, why not try a hard reset just to see if it helps!

Just gone through the same problem.
First of all try to put the jack of the headset inside the hole and twistle it.
If it doesn't solve the problem, I'm afraid you need a replacement.

I had the same problem a week ago. Every speaker worked, except the one next to the display. The problem appeared somehow over night ... I definitely didn't drop the phone or did something "rude" with it.
Unfortunately, I don't have the original headset to exercise this plugin/plugout/twisteling method as mentioned by lautunno, so I tried this with a regular headphone. Without direct success
A hard reset didn't change anything.
... but after a few days of trying almost everything, the speaker started to work again and still works without any interruptions :?
I'm not sure if it's really hardware related because there are so many people with the same problem and almost everyone of them has fixed the problem by just powercycling the phone many times, plugging the headset in and out, fiddling around with the phone app, etc.
As far as I know, the radio firmware is responsible for addressing this speaker (because it's only useable as a phone speaker) and this part of the device firmware doesn't get resetted when you do a hard reset. Maybe it stores some settings (like headphone mode?) in an EEPROM or something like this.
Anyway, good luck and keep trying.
.ox
ps.: I'm also using the O2 firmware (1.30.96 GER) but I've upgraded the radio stack to version 1.11.00.

Mic not working on phone, but does work on other functions

Hello - I've been searching these forums and the wiki and Google too looking for a solution to this but so far, can't find a solution so hope members here can help:
I recently got another XDA Exec and a week ago, the phone mic stopped working. I know its not a hardware problem as the phone can record my voice for notes.
I've done a few hard resets and each time, nothing changes, so am truly baffled.
I'd be very grateful for any answers to this, and apologise in advance if I have missed an answer that has already been posted - I have tried searching, honest!
Cheers,
JB

Try another ROM...perhaps?

I could do, but before I attempt anything like that - something I've not done before - I wanted to figure out how to remedy it with the existing ROM, which is the O2 one installed without all of O2's own stuff.
It was working perfectly well with this ROM before....in fact the only thing I can think of that might somehow have caused this was me pairing the XDA with a bluetooth handsfree set the same day. It might just be coincidence, it might not - I can't tell.
I suppose what I'm hoping for is some guidance re any settings on the device that I don't know about that have caused this, or the necessary registry edit to remedy the problem. Its odd that the phone mic worked before then stopped working, despite hard resets with the same ROM. Forgive my naivety, but I thought ordinary user-level tweaks didn't affect the core settings of the ROM....or am I wrong?
Cheers,
JB
PS - Lower Hutt! I remember seeing it through the mist one day after catching the ferry from the South Island before heading off to Cuba Street for a boozy afternoon...

Yup, got exactly the same problem before buying my HD.
I thinked that my micro was dead and didn't try to fix it before.
Just now i got here to search another rom to test and i saw this thread highlighted
The rom on my universal is TOMAL 8.0 or more i don't exactly remember the version, what's yours ?
I will download another version to check if the micro will be alright and give some feedback

Could be a range of reasons, from some program install or addition to the software set to files going missing. Trying a new ROM or reflashing with the original (but believe me, once you try new WM6.1 You'll probably never go back) might be one of the solutions. Flashing of ROM is a piece of cake, however, I recommend reading as much as possible on the procedure and ways to remedy the unexpected situations before you begin. Everything you may possibly need and answers to all your questions is contained in a Wiki - have a look and ask questions if you cannot find answers and are completely stuck.
Heh, Lower Hutt is on the opposite side of the harbour, coming from SI.

I reflashed with TOMAL 8.9 and micro works very well now
i readed too fast yesterday and didn't see that you're using the original rom, like enigma1nz suggest you, i suggest you too to try a 6.1 rom, it's really great and improve a lot the speed/touch felling/etc for the universal.
Plus it's really easy to flash a rom, it's not necessery to read a lot of documentation,
you just need to connect your universal to pc with activesync (4.5)
and launch the exe file from the rom

HTC HD2 TMOUS Version, Speaker Problem!

I have a TMOUS 1024mb version of the HD2. The problem I'm having is, When I got the phone, the external speaker wasn't working. I used it for a few weeks, then after a hard reset, the speaker works!! Then after it freezes up, another hard reset, and no more speaker!! So I tryed installing Oz's ROM yesterday, and it works great, but no external speaker. Any ideas ?

Wow, no replys to this? I know theres a million people that have the same issue? Surely someone has found the software issue that's causing it! Any rom's that fix it? or any way to tweak anything ot get sound out of it? Been stuck with mine with no external speaker for almost 2 months now!! And no, I bought it second hand off a friend, so theres no sending it back for a new one. The speaker sound did come back for a short week or so, but after it froze up again, and reboot, it's gone! sad face! so any info would be great!

please help me in HTC magic

Hello, there
I have HTC magic, and after I restarted it, it's screen does not work at all. I just hear the welcoming music without see anything. the screen does not appear anything. I have tried factory restore, but that did not work out. Please help me. By the way, I am a newbie with andriod.
Sincerity

Pull the battery and restart the phone. Honestly, without a display there isn't much you can do. Is the phone still under warranty or do you have extended coverage through your carrier? If so, I'd start looking into just getting a replacement under one of those.

did you root/flash anything?

Thanks for all reply. I just want to tell you that the warranty time is over before two weeks ago.
I did not root or flash anything. I even do not know how to do that.
Please IF there is anyone could help me. I can hear the welcoming music and the screen is working, but do not display anything. In addition, I can call it, and it rings but I can not answer. There is no any button work out when it is ringing.
Thanks for help.

[Q] Microphone not working? (no sound)

Hi, I just stumbled upon an HD2 on Sunday. Very nice phone!
Unfortunately, it seems the microphone isn't working. I have no sound on video recordings and people can't hear me on phone calls unless I use a headset.
I checked it with a phone call when the phone was on stock WinMo and the issue is the same now after I've hacked it and put Typhoon_CM7 on it (nand).
Is there anything I can try to test if this is hardware related? Is it hard to replace the mic if that is necessary?
I searched the forums as well as google but didn't find anything that helped. I'd really like the phone to be fully functional so any help or suggestions are welcome.
TIA

You can assume with confidence that the issue is hardware related if the same thing happens regardless of what you flash or install on to it.

It probably is
If u are not getting sound on the stock windows mobile 6.5 and not even on the android, it is sure that the problem is hardware related. You should go to a HTC center to get it fixed.
Hope it helps.
Give me a thanks if you found this post useful

Thanks for your replies. Any idea how hard it is to replace the mic?
