My G2's speaker hasn't worked for a while. This means that I got no ringtone, no youtube videos/music, and no sound from navigation lady. It's definitely not a software issue because I just formatted and installed a new ROM. Has any had this issue before? What might be the fix for this?
Thanks
if it just the "speakerphone" speaker that isn't working, spend 4 dollars on ebay and 8 min replacing it and you phone will be as good as new, if you hold the phone to your ear (as in a call) and still nothing it will be slightly more complicated/expensive

It is definitely the speaker phone. So you're very sure the speaker itself is the problem then?
Does this look right?

It comes with tools and is the cheapest one I could find?
sometimes in ebay and other places they refur to the htc magic as a g2, and I don't thin our phones have the same speaker as the g1 so my guess is that's the wrong one
when in ebay make sure it says either htc vision or g2/dz or if it only says g2 make sure it looks like yours, if you have a t5 torx bit you can open your phone now and take a loo at it befor you buy it

I bought this phone brand new, it was never turned on and still sealed in the package when I got it.
My phone vibrates out of nowhere/randomly when it requires to vibrate, I dropped it on the floor it hit something hard & vibrated right after.
I think something is wrong with the vibrator inside, anyone know how to fix it?
Tried other roms, its the same in every rom.
Thankyou

Have you tried flushing a new ROM?
Please make any suggestions
Could be a hardware issue...
Check to see if the camera lens or flash looks like it has been pushed into the handset.

Take your phone apart, and check the vibrator (basically a motor with a weight encased in a thin rubber enclosure)
Disassembly Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL-jnUKufC4&feature=player_embedded
Vibrator location: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/MQTWjvxpURg52WSD.medium
I don't think there is any other way to check the vibrator or fix the issue, just make sure to follow the video exactly and try not to break anything.
When you have the phone open, make sure the vibrator motor is in its proper place, and fits snugly. Make sure the wires aren't shorting, as that could be the cause.
Damn thankyou, I don't need vibration that bad, I could mess, up my device, I'm not that good at mechanical engineering

Hey guys, I got this phone on friday and I'm loving it. Immediately rooted and installed cm7, and earlier today installed royal sense. Killer roms and I'm extremely glad I got this instead of the sensation or the g2x.
I think I might have a physical defect, though. When talking on the phone, the phone earpiece sounds awful! It's sort of distorted, especially at high volumes, and really staticy. I can still make out what the other person is saying, and I don't think they have a problem hearing me, but it is very annoying. Not something that I think I can ignore for long.
does anybody else have this issue? Is this a common, known hardware defect? I bought it off craigslist, it was a warranty exchange, so practically brand new. Can I get a warranty on the phone through t mobile? I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but if I do, do I have to un root and set back to stock?

I have this same problem but only when the volume is all the way up. When I turn it down just once everything is better.

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

thanx for your reply ,any ideas where i can get 1 from and how much it will cost ???
o,k ive searched around and can not for the life of me find this part !!! can any body help me please ?????
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
Velcro. What a rip off!

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

I've had my nexus for about a month now.
The speakers were fine until today, the just started a cracking sound on certain sounds.
It's really annoying and it only happens when the volume is higher then 50%.
With headphones the sound is just normal.
Is there something I can do about it? I'm not really a fan of sending my nexus back to Asus.
I had my left speaker crackling from day one. I opened the back cover and took off the net that covered the speaker. That solved my problem. You may also try that.

Took the backcover of and discovered it was my right speaker, removing the net had no effect.
Are the speakers sold apart? And are they hard to replace?
Go back to stock using Wug's toolkit. My sound was broken and not playing, I thought it was a hardware problem but I flashed back to stock. I did that and It worked. It wouldn't hurt to try it. Make sure you backup your apps using "My Backup" or "Titanium backup (root)"

They are ridiculously easy to replace. There's an ifixit guide. Haven't seen anyone selling any though.

I had the same problem and researched it. I even unrooted and went back to stock thinking it may have been a software problem. But to no avail. It turns out to have been a blown speaker. I couldn't locate a replacement for it. Luckily I purchased it a Staples and was able to exchange it.

Same here right speaker. I figured out that mine has a tendency to "pop" out or something and if I just push it back in I hear a click and no more crackling.
I finally worked out a solution using tape under the mesh to keep the speaker from popping out like this again and no more crackling so far.

Tried that, no effect.
I guess the only thing I can do is to sent it back to Asus.
Very poor, cause it has a perfect screen without any flaws.
I used the use the app – Volume+ which kicked out awful crackle/hiss.
Deleted now, no problem.

My Nexus was crackling and the headphone volume was really low and distant while running AOKP on it. Back to stock now and unrooted and sound is great.
Maybe a problem with the binaries? I'm gonna reroot tonight and do some testing with sound.

Well if it really is perfect otherwise it might be worth it to just tape something over the broken speaker to muffle it or disconnect that speaker it until someone starts selling the speaker assembly.
Temporarily having mono sound won't be the worst thing in the world. Do you really need stereo audio? Especially when the two speakers are right next to each other on the same side lol?
That's personally what I would do in your shoes. Someone will eventually start selling N7 parts on ebay or wherever. Heh I may have to if my speaker blows out again and I can't just "pop" it back in like last time.

I can wait it out, but I can also sent it back tot Asus while it's still under warrenty.
Sending my nexus back looks like a safer choice.
Thanks for all the info!

my speakers blew out the other day. not sure if its one or both but its unbearable to listen to. i saw the guide on ifixit. seemed easy enough so next i did a quick search and found a place they sell them. its called powerbookmedic they go outta stock real quick when they get them in so sign up for there auto email restock notification thing and as soon as they send u a email run to a comp with ur debit card. i got mine coming in a day. i plan on putting these new ones in and then getting some external speakers to use just to save from having to do this again.
Greetings!
So I received my phone from my carrier last monday after it's second time at the repair shop (first time I had lockscreen problems, headprint was changed. When I got it back the r-tards had forgotten to remove the piece of paper that is over the front camera under the glass, they scratched my phone and shizzle so I sent it in again) - and I am trying to figure out if they put it together in a weird way (once again)...
Near the corner of the speakers (I think it's the frame) I get a squeaking noise whenever I unlock my phone (I use bricked kernel sweep2wake so I put a bit of pressure on that corner). Even though it's not all the time, and it's not a very loud noise, it makes the phone feel cheap (as if it is coming apart) so if nobody else is having this issue I'll turn it in again ...
I really love my Nexus, but oh god I've had so many problems with it
Well u love the nexus brand, and ur forgetting that google gave it to LG this time, so this is expected from an amature company. To sell u boards designed for their flagships and not for nexus.
This phone just have looks and nothing else.

I made a little video to show off the noise, is this just my carrier that put it together poorly (again) or is this an issue?

My Nexus 4 had squeaky buttons at first, but I ignored it, and kept using the phone normal as usual. And believe it or not the squeaks are gone. I didn't even attempt to fix it!
It's not my buttons that are making the noise, it's the frame (right about where the screw is) close to the speaker
