after flashing CM6 i had sound for the first few days. now i have nothing. i have done all kinds of wipes and even have installed other roms. still nothing. even when using the speaker phone, i get no sound from the external speaker.
headset speaker works fine, i can hear the other party when making phone calls. i just cannot hear my phone ring.
help please!
i dont know if this is coincidence or not, but i just blew out the speaker and now it seems to be working again. dunno if maybe some small dust got in there or something. any who, it seems to be working ok now.
I know this is an old thread but I am glad I searched. My speaker just stopped working and I tried everything. After reading this thread, I took my case off and the battery cover off and just blew into the speaker hole. It started working again...WTF??? If you speaker isn't working, try giving it a blow...seemed to work for two of us.

Well i think its true. why? read on!
I bought my XDA II a few weeks ago. Its a love & hate machine & i won't get into that. But i think i have damaged the speaker .. as in i can notice sound getting distorted at times. It probably happened when i played this audio file at full volume .. which was actually for less than 2 seconds!! Ever since then, i can tell how the sound from the speaker comes out distorted. Same exact thing happened with my brother, where he played some song at full volume & it apperntly blew his speaker. I've soft reseted the machine multiple times (who doesn't!) ever since but no hard reset yet.
Although my question is .. is it really _that_ easy to blow the speaker?! The device should either have a speaker that can handle the amplification it is being providing, or not amplify the sound to levels the speaker can't handle. Blowing your speaker away on the first attempt to play something loud seems awfully lousy to me from a machine's design point of view.
Has anyone else experienced such problem or know of some remedy? I don't want to open the machine up & get the speaker repaired. Would really appreciate any help on the matter.
Thank you all.
Hi m8. Don't know if you've tried this but I had a problem a while ago where I could not hear any sound at all. I could make a phone call and ther person on the other end could hear me fine but I could not hear anything. I found the way to make it work again would be to squeeze the thing at the top near the earpiece (as if it was a loose connection).
Like I said, don't know if you've tried this but it worked for me. Have you got warranty?
Hey Camel, i have had my sx56(wallaby) all the way apart, and the only thing attatching the mainboard to the speaker are two little spring-loaded contacts, perhaps try tightening the screws on the back of your device (if it's anything like mine), this should make the connection between your speaker and mainboard more secure.

hey mate,
yep same thing with mine. now anything above about 50% in a phone call and it's all distorted.
pretty annoying, i've just got to get around to opening it up and checking the speaker contacts/replacing speaker with a spare.
will post results.
hey, i have a stragne problem wit hmy hermes. all the sudden, the speaker on the rear wasnt working anymore when somebody was calling and i didnt hear anybody when on the phone. also, the person calling,didnt hear me.
so i blew in the plug for the headset and poked around in there with a little screw driver, as i read on the forum. then the little plastik thing in the plug fell out, i think it was loose before. now, i can still charge, i also can listen to music via headset. when people call me, the rear speaker is working again and people can hear me, however, i cant hear anybody! not on the rear speaker, not the normal phone speaker, not on the headset...
what can i do?
Hello,
sound is gone on my S200. Yesterday it all worked just fine, I was listening to some music on the headphones, and this morning I tried to call my gf, and noticed that I have no sound on the device.
The phone rings when somebody is calling me, so I assume its not the speaker, at least not the one on the back.
I can't hear a thing when I call somebody and microphone doesn't seem to be working either. I haven't dropped the phone recently.
Music is only playing via the headphones, same for calls.
Any ideas? I took the back cover off and took a look at the speaker, it seems to be fine, and as I mentioned it rings when somebody calls me.
Could this be a ROM issue? Using WM 6.5

It seems its the stuck headphone socket, I managed to get it working again somehow, but I guess it needs replacing. Any ideas where could I get the whole socket for replacement?

so it plays notifications through the rear speaker but it wont play music and the phones mic and speaker dont work while calling.

Try connecting your headphones again and pull them out slowly, while gently applying pressure(as in bending) and rotating it. That did it for me, works fine for now.
Some days ago my Touch2 started acting up - I guess after it got a bit too humid when I was wearing it under my T-Shirt while walking. The Touchscreen did not work. When I removed the battery cover I noticed the phone was a bit wet inside (sweat), so I figured that was probably causing the issues. After turning it off, removing the battery, and leaving it to dry for a day it was working OK again.
Next day I got a phone call (first one since drying after the the touchscreen issue), I answered, heard a pretty loud and distorted sound out of the speaker for less than a second, and then I didn't hear anything anymore. The other person could not hear me either. Since then I cannot hear people making calls, and they cannot hear me - but the loud sound was only heard once, now I hear nothing. The alarms and ring tones are playing normally, though.
I already figured out that the phone seems to think there is a headphone plugged all the time, since the headphone icon is present all times. With the headphone everything is working OK as well. So I guess it is the detection acting up. I am guessing this is a mechanical detection (opening switch when plugging in), but I am not sure. Does anyone have any idea? I will also try to look inside the earphones hole, trying to see if anything is mechanically broken or stuck... repeatedly plugging/unplugging didn't help, neither did blowing inside there...
Any ideas?
Edit: My Mega has a HK CHT Stock ROM, flashed over the Taiwan CHT ROM after hard SPL. I tried resets etc. but no hard reset yet.
This is not my phone but a friend's phone that I am trying to fix. She dropped it 2 stories and the phone, due to its sturdiness, looks absolutely fine.
In any case, there is nothing wrong with the phone:
External speakers (used for playing music, watching Youtube, etc) works
When calling people, they hear me just fine [works]
However, the in-call speaker doesn't work (when I call people, they can hear me but I cannot hear them)
Here's what I have tried so far:
-putting the call on speaker works but that's probably because it switches to use the external speaker
-I reflashed her ROM but the problem still persists
-if I use headphones, I can hear the caller speaking
Any other things I can try?
P.S. I am amazed at the sturdiness of this phone!
Two stories, did you say? She's lucky.
You gotta open it up- see if the contacts of the handset speaker are in the right place. I don't think it would have gone bad.
While you are at it, make sure the antenna contacts are proper, a known problem after dropping this phone is low or erratic signal after a fall.

2ft or 2meters right?
but 2 stories high & it's still OK?
man what casing was she using?
anyways there could be a dislodge wire/ connector from that fall & luckily it's just that:fingers-crossed:

Hd2 have two speakers, front called ear speaker and back speaker which is activated on notification, playing media files and putting call on handsfree mode.
You need to check Ear speaker.
There are few movies on youtube how to open hd2, search for disassembling hd2.
Check connector on ear speaker.
If doesn't help then buy new one there on internet from 5 to 10$ if you are from States you can have free shipping.
Changing ear speaker isnt complicated just be sure to check few videos before doing it.
I have same issue atm, ill need to do this also.

Sorry for the late reply. Based on the responses I got, it seems the only way to fix this is to open it up. Thanks for your help

She was not using any case at all, surprisingly.

here is guide for hd2 from mikechannon

Hi,
I have the exact same problem you have regarding the non-working ear speaker. I inherited my phone so I don't know if it's been dropped or not, or if the non-working ear speaker is due to software and/or ROM issues. The previous owner had winmo and he said it worked fine.
I suspect it's due to software since sometimes the ear (front) speaker does work, but usually not. I've tried a bunch of different ICS ROMS (CM9, AOKP, PA, currently on Slim-ICS 4.2) and the problem remains which would seem to point to hardware failure, no? What confuses me is the fact that it sometimes (rarely) works. Most of the time I have to enable speakerphone to hear the other side of calls.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
I have enclosed a clip from logcat in case anyone sees anything weird that I'm not seeing.

Same thing for me. Im 99% sure is hardware failure, ear speaker died or it is disconnected from slot.
Why im thinking this, when gently tap back of cover where speaker is i can here like its disconnected from slot. Sometimes when i tap while in call sound come back for sec.
Next week ill dissemble my hd2 to check if its disconnected or ear speaker died.
Anyway you can buy ear speaker on net for few bucks, they are mostly for u.s. model but think its same as for eu version

Looks like this may be more common than initially thought.
Any one know of any app or diagnostic software in Android that can be used to test the rear and ear (front) speakers to determine whether this is a hardware or software issue?
I'd like to make sure this is a hardware issue before opening the phone up.
