the phone or the replacement earpiece?? the earpiece was 15 pounds from ebay but when fitted the call volume was lower and still crackly, i ended up putting old one back in
Id suggest you to send back to carrier so they give you a new one . Unless you bough from ebay 0.0

Oh my... what kind of language is that??
Anyways, replacing the ear speaker is very easy task. Just be careful with the flexes, especially the LCD and touch Flex(large copper foil in the bottom underneath the PCB) is sticked together on the inner frame, you'll have to take it out, be slow and do not to anything harsh and with force.
PS.
If you accidentally will put a finger on LCD or touch panel... use a simple scotch (The liquid one for cheering yourself up, and the tape for removing the oily fingerprints )
no you only have to replace the speaker, but like i said it didnt make any difference to my phone so not sure if it would to any other, i just put the old one back in , and i didnt take the lcd fully out , i just seperated the lcd from the digitizer enough to access the speaker ( was afraid i broke it , which would kill me inside lol) then just replaced it, easy enough

First off this could break your speaker, do this at your own risk.
I have tested this on 2 EVO's with completely "blown" speakers, they both now sound absolutely perfect. From what i can tell, it's a lot of built up metal shavings, they weigh the speaker cone down and prevent it from making the true desired frequency.
You will need a earth magnet, or a really strong regular one will do i guess,(I used a earth mag tho)
First issue: you have to take the phone apart, from there, remove speaker,
(has been covered on youtube so go a lookin)
Now.. take the speaker, sweet diagram huh?(its late) and drop it, foam side down, from about 3 or 4 inches onto the magnet. Repeat. You will see the shavings coming off the speaker and sticking to the earth magnet.
Do it for a few minutes or until the metal shavings are all gone.
Re-assemble, click your favorite player and enjoy!!
I will try to get a tutorial on youtube soon..
u might wanna add a disclaimer as some waterhead is gonna do this and toast their evo!

Why not since you have it apart and risk damaging the speaker by screwing up the polarity of the speakers magnet just drop in a brand new speaker. They can be picked up for a few bucks.

Im on my third speaker in a year,and who want's to wait two weeks for the speaker to get from china? Did another friend's this am, zero problems. I can see where you would think this may cause a problem, but it doesn't, Sound is restored to perfect.
Just trying to pass on what has worked 3 times for me. I would prefer fixing rather than replacing, i assume others would too.
I see this all the time at my store, especially those who work outside and around machinery.
Had one guy blow 3 in two weeks before we finally sat him down and explained in detail exactly why it was doing it before he finally wised up.
just take it to sprint they will replace it for free and do it right there
Assuming you have not disassembled it and broke the seal, and you have a warranty, and you live near a store that does service work. But besides that, yeah spot on.

I work on Evos with broken screw seals. For the average customer, it means they've had it worked on before and the sticker wasn't replaced.
Thanks so much. after having the evo over a year and putting it on my work bench. I never thought about the metal shavings from screws getting in. Works as new
i'll give this a try soon.
This is a cool post but I really do see in the near future some idiots ruining their phones trying to open it up and pulling the speaker out

Does this work for the earpiece speaker? My earpiece speaker just started buzzing and I can't understand what anyone with a deeper voice is saying at all.

I don't see why it wouldn't, obviously the idea is that the earth magnet is WAY stronger than the speakers magnet allowing it to pull away the shavings, give it a shot and report back!

Just wanted to point out that unless the speaker is part of a matched pair, reversing the polarity of the magnet will not affect the sound...

Well it will change the entire dynamics of the intended design... therefore changing frequency, depth, and volume. Speakers are designed to push... not pull. If they pull, it will more or less push the sound into whatever it's housing is.

Hi, suddenly the 3.5mm jack on my vibrant stopped working for 1 side. I know there is a replacable part but, I dont know if its just the jack or the motherboard itself...
Does anyone have repaired his vibrant replacing the jack? the jack and antena flex is not expensive but i want to be sure if that the root of the problem...
If there is problem with motherboard most likely it would be software related as long as there is no water damage.

Yeah, it was the first thing I tried, the headphones work on other things, and others headphones dont work on the phone...
Already reversed to stock rom and its the same

Just a suggestion, but you could check and see if there is anything stuck to the contacts within the jack on the phone. Something could be keeping it from making contact.

I did, but nope, its clean there and also have a otterbox case which covers the hole when not in use, so It couldn't get dirty like that... Tried cleaning the pins with a qtip and isopropyl alcohol but not a single change... not even a noise when rotating the plug or something that make me think its dirty...
I hope that the flex is the problem and not something on the motherboard
The part that you need is only US $8.58 on eBay Item number: 250896342047
I doubt its tthe motherboard (tho it could be)... good lluck

Thanks, I already ordered so, just gonna wait to get it and let you guys know if it fixed it or not
Kinda hard to rely in Bluetooth audio now... audio quality sucks :/
UPDATE:
I received the replacement jack about a week ago, but just had time to replace it.
It does the same It's the ****in' motherboard >_<
Well, it worth the try for 9 dollars, but just feel disappointed it doesn't work
I though maybe you guys wanted to know and thanks for the help though
That is lame. Hopefully you can still warranty it.
There is an ant under my screen. I am not sure how it got there and I wasn't too happy when it stopped moving... I think it's dead.
Any advice on getting it out...
I already tried a vacuum cleaner, that didn't work.
I would open the device but I am not sure if there is adhesive between the lcd and glass panel.

Lmfao... I'm sorry.. This just made me laugh... I'm sorry about the ant though.. I believe you will have to take it apart if you can't shake it out. You're going to have to google a repair video for the 10.1. Lmk how it works out for you.

Well its scientifically proven, ants love Android.
LOL @ Ant buster...
Yeah I am guessing I will have to open it. The thing is I don't know if there is adhesive between the lcd and the glass. None of the disassemble videos I've seen removed the lcd panel. I guess I will have to do it on my own...
wish me good luck.
STUPID ANT.
I am guessing not even the ant buster could save me now.
Not really a guide, but maybe this will give you an idea: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-Samsung-Galaxy-tab-10-1-digitizer/8346/1

anyway, yes u have to open it. if you are unsure, watch some youtube videos on how to disassemble it. Good Luck. LOL!
This made my day XD But on a serious note, just follow the procedure of removing/fixing a screen

i´m sorry
Have you tried compressed air?
I believe that this bug is fixed in the ICS upgrade.
If you have any dead pixels, or any other hardware issues send it in for that and likely Samsung will remove the bug. I've used this app to check for dead pixels on my screen and have found a couple. Wasn't worth sending it in for a repair but if I had a bug in my screen I would. Good luck.
hi !!!! im after some info on my desire z. my brother brought the phone brand new and 5 days on having the phone ,got drunk and accidently dropped the phone down the toilet !!! ( idiot ) the screen was damaged and needed to be replaced ,the phone would switch on but no display ! so i brought the phone of him for £20 ( bargain ) i then found a place in china that sell the screen for £30. i waited 2 months for the screen to come and in contact with the person they told me that it had been posted but must have got lost in the post. he gave me my money back as i decided to get 1 from the u.k and 5 days later he refunded my money. 4 days after my refund the screen came = ). so i searched and found a video on how to take the phone apart and decide to fit the screen myself with no problems. now i have the problem that when i make phone calls ,people cant hear me =( i have tried my voice search and voice recorder and my phone does not pick up my voice up so i know the mouth speaker does not work !!!! my question is ,what part would i need to replace for my mouth speaker to work ??? any advice please ?? thanx for your time

its part of the main flex cable, easily forund on ebay or amazon for 35~40usd. if you find one that comes with the whole chasis it will make replacement easier as you won't have to glue/unglue anything but its harder to find and most certainly will be used
good luck!

I have to check, but I don't think you can replace the microphone on it's own. It's part of something, I believe on the screen portion of the phone. I'll have to take a look and see where it's located. I'm not sure, but I think it's part of the flex cable.
demkantor beat me to it.
Maybe everyone you speak to is deaf

thank you so so much =) my next question is ,which flex is it ? the navi key and flex or the slider flex ??? sorry if thats a dumb question ?!? lol
there is one big main flex cable for your phone, and then small ones connecting the sdcard slot, keypad, etc
you need the big main one, if you take your phone apart and folow the main flex down to where the mic is (look @ the whole on the bottom of phone directly down from back arrrow) you will see the mic sitting in a piece of rubber. it may be possible to solder a new one into the flex but I feel it would be extreamly hard. just buy the whole big flex and it will come attached to it

Hi
I got my HTC one just under a week ago on three and I'm in love with it. But there are some things I'm worried about. One thing is that when I play games or plug the phone in charge the cool aluminum back becomes rather uncomfortably hot and makes me have to switch hands, it doesn't burn but it does irritate...
Secondly I've seen some posts about gaps at the top and I have those but I was wondering if anyone else has a very fine bulge of the plastic above where the usb port is? I don't know if this is a fault of my phone or it is a general thing so I don't know whether to ask for an exchange or not... If anyone wants pictures of the gap just say!

I can see it, i have excactly the same on my One, im just living with it though as everything else is soo perfect!
The only thing im worried about, is were that is, were the charger plugs in, the 2 little 'Catches' on the charger that hold it in rub on the white bit, in other words the hole seems to small, only slightly, i may contact HTC about this as im a little worried it will cause future problems like a Broken Charger or Charge Point etc. . .
Yeah that's exactly what I was worried about with the charger thing, if you do contact HTC let me know how it goes

Mine gets very hot too, I'm guessing that is a metal thing though, the gaps don't bother me or any slight overhang.
For me the issues are...
Blinkfeed
Heat
slow charging
home button is so hard to hit because it's small and in the corner
no battery percentage
no file search on the phone

Try a launcher or put blink feed to the side and disable all sources? The file search apps on the market do me fine but normally they put something on the battery so there is less heat transfer to one spot I n the metal but I don't think they've done that in the first batch :/ and mine charges pretty fine as well

I too have the overhang on the charging port. I have had two handsets (first one replaced due to gaps at top which moved when pressed) and its been on them both.
Second one has a slight dent/scratch in the white band, so ill wait another week (still in 28 days) and try and get another swap out. I do love the phone, battery life is immense, I'm getting about 2.5 days out of it at mo.
I have owned so many HTC phones it boggles the mind. In that time I have had to have 3 go in for repair. On stopped charging (one S) another had the wifi GPS glitch (one X international) and one just plain died one day to never turn on again (ATT one x+). All of these were taken care of by HTC. Can't say without issue, the international one X they scratched the case and took a little while to get a new one but in the end all my issues were taken care of. I would really say wait until HTC has resolved these issues and then they will take care of you 100%. You will need to be able to send the phone in for repair but they are fairly quick about 10 days total turn around time. They also didn't have any issue at all repairing a international phone at the USA HTC repair center something that is not true with Samsung.
Are you in the UK or America? Cus if you're in the UK I think I can get an exchange as well
