Hi
I had an accident with my terra. It falls in to a barrel of water. but i catched it instantly. so short exposion. i pull out the battery and dried it. Its working fine. but when somebody calls me the rintone iss very gentle. i dont recognize if somebody calls. But message tone and music comes out loud.
Any suggestions? Could a Rom Update help??
Regards
Unfortunately what happened was hardwrare based so trying to troubleshoot you'll need to take your device and find whats wrong internally.
But first you need to extract the water from the encasing. Get plain white rice and place your phone in the rice for at least a half an hour.
Then use compressed air to blow out the speaker. And from experience blow out your keyboard. Even if you think you've got out all the moisture, there'll be some that is still there.

I dropped my magician when i stepped out of my car. :shock:
The problem now it that my sound isn't working anymore. The back speaker as well as the ear speaker are both dead. I disassembled the phone, cleaned all the contacts with alcohol and bend the ear speaker contacts a little bit up, but still nothing. When i connect the headset i can hear sound and make a phonecall.
Another thing is that i hear a high frequenty sound coming from the screen. I only hear it when my ear is near the screen. Never had that before.
Maybe you can help me! I want my baby back working again. So if you have any suggestion i can try.. :idea:

My refurbished MDA does that [t-mobile replacement after my one 'went wrong [see below]']. I dont remember the previous out of box one doing it though.
Cant help with the sound problem - everyone seems to drop the magician though.. even me once[belt clip sucks]! and then my 2 other friends.

Since disasembling my phone, cleaning everything and putting it back together not fixed my problem I put the phone on my desk. It just layed there not working. Till this morning... i picked it up again and knowing it is not working but out of frustration I just try again. And to my suprise. It Works again! :shock: My sound is back?? How the hell is that possible... I tried shaking the device to see if there was maybe a lose contact. But how hard i shake the damn thing. It keeps working. 8)
Anyway, I'm happy again Only thing left is the strange sound coming from my screen, but I can live with that.
This is the weirdest thing/worse thing that can happen to my wing so far....
I was on the phone talking like normal, everything ran fine, everything was perfect. The next phone call I get, I can't hear the other person...I'm yelling HELLO!?!? HELLO?!!...I thought it was their crappy flip phone. However, it was MY PHONE.
So everytime, I had to make a phone call or receive a phone call I have to put the person on speaker phone to hear them.
I did a hard reset and ERASED everything and that still didn't fix my problem.
So, I took a deep breath in and took apart the wing to check if there was a loose connection where the Ear Phone Speaker was connected to the board. Everything looked fine and un-plugged the speaker and used the Dust-Away Can on it and put it back in...and it still didnt work. I took disconnected the speaker again and just threw it against the table cause I got so mad. Connected it again. and Viola! It works again! I was extremely happy until....
Today during school it happened again, I couldn't hear the person, I did hard reset (thinking it was because of all the mods) but it wasn't. Then I took the speaker out again and did the same thing...but still doesn't work.
Any ideas guys? You think the speaker is just blown? I've only had the phone for 3 weeks. Any idea where I can buy a replacement speaker? (if you need a picture of the speaker, let me know and i'll post it)
Thanks for the help!
That happened to me... and it was because I was holding my Wing and a water bottle in the same hand, and apparently, I got some moisture in the speaker... and shortly after, the touchscreen stopped responding.. so I took it back and got a new one.
only thing i can suggest is if you figure out the part number for the speaker (either the HTC part number or the manufacturer part number) then search with that term on google and I am sure you will find atleast a few wholesalers and retailers from Hong Kong that sell that product. Did this on numerous occasions for lcds, antenae, and various parts for random electronics.
Did you try throwing it again?
yeah I did.
I guess the speaker is just blown. I went to a Cell Phone Repair place and they gave me a BlackJack speaker, its the same plugs but a little thicker, so theres a little bulge where the ear handset is.
How much did that cost ya?
Ok guys, i've a really huge problem: the speaker and the microphone of my wizard don't work anymore. Don't know why - there was no impact on the phone (it didn't fall out of my pocket or so). The two speakers on the sides are working sometimes but the one for calling doesn't work. Even the microphone doesn't work anymore - no one can hear me and I can't hear anyone. This sucks!
I thought of a software problem, but even after the third different rom I've had the same symptoms. I'm thinking about disassembly the phone with the service manual.
What do you guys think? What should I do? Anyone experienced this?
Had something similar
Speakers weren't working at all so i had to use my headset . 3 minutes later I got furious and took the phone and headset and repeatedly plugged and unplugged it to and from the jack.
it actually worked somehow, i was able to use the speakers again
I guess my actions caused it to short itself back to normal
You can easily replace it for about 5 bucks.
Well, i'm goning to take the phone apart to fix this - maybe the contacts to the speaker are just corroded. But I have to say, that the phone sucks! Nothing's working like it should.
I'm having this same problem, it happens for a while then it fixes itself. anyone find a solution?
Fix
The contacts that switch between the headset and the internal speaker/mic are most likely not making a good connection. You can take it apart and clean them/replace the jack.
Another (much easier) approach is to put some dielectric grease (auto parts stores carry it, it's used to keep spark plug boots from sticking to spark plugs or coil packs) on the contacts of the headset jack (the part that goes into the phone) and plug it in and out a dozen times. This will usually fix it for a long time. I've fixed several Wizards this way, and they haven't failed yet.

I just had this exact same problem for the first time last night, I was playing a computer game on my desktop and a plane flew over head and my wifi internet went out and my phone did exactly what your talking about.
It was just weird that it all happened at the same time. I can hear anything out of the speaker except for when someone is calling or i get a text.
Thank god i found this post, I will try doing something crazy or maybe cleaning it out.
Be checkin' back!
hey guys my phone was having a slight problem with the ear piece speaker it would work properly but if i shook the phone a little ( such as walking) the sound would disappear , if i turned on the speaker phone the call was stil connected and if i again turned on the regular ear piece it wouldnt work unless i gave it another slight shake
This led me to belive tht the speaker might be slightly out of place and the contact werent touching properly so i ripped open my phone and dove thru its guts to get to the speaker (it was almost the last piece to come out damn it why couldnt it be easier to get out??) n on looking at it the 2 "prongs" that allow it to touch with the contacts on the flexi board were kind smooshed down so i gently pried them up and in the process was able to snap one off right at the base so theres no way to fix it
In short my wizard is an excellent pda now and an ok speaker phone but i still need the ear phone peice.
Im in NYC so if anyone knows where i can get it please help me cuz im getting alotta calls and no way to answer it with out using the speaker phoe which is annoying thanks for the help
Wizard earpiece
I have one from my old 8125. LMK if interested. I'm here in St. Louis, MO.
Definitely interested how much u want for it?
It's weird. I bought a carbon fiber plastic hard case from this Wireless Tech store and the clerk helped put it on. It seemed to work well and everything and I put it in my pocket. One hour later, I realized I had a few missing calls and texts that I wasn't aware of, and thought I accidentally turned the phone to silent or vibrate. I didn't...It was still on full blast. So then I wondered why the hell it wasn't playing sound. My phone didn't ring, music wouldn't play, etc. Then I thought about taking the case off (which wasn't a walk on the beach) and strangely, sound started coming out again.
The case looks just like every other case you'd find online, it doesn't touch any buttons or get in the way of anything. My only theory is that when I put the case on, it tightens up the phone too much. And I recently had to put on a new LCD, and something might've gone wrong or something.
Just me?
Is the case covering the sound output hole? Could be too tight of the casing causing disconnection of the contacts? Looks like u need another cover..

I'd guess taht too and cut a hole
The speaker on the Tilt/Kaiser simply sits on contacts to make the sound. It is entirely possible those contacts are loose and the case is causing the speaker to not make contact. Take off the back cover and do a bit of checking to see if the contacts are good...
