Blown speaker? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What are my options? I've used it maybe a total of 3 hours at 3/4 volume and it's blown. I'd be willing to replace it myself before sending the tablet back as I use it every day.

I opened mine up with my nail, looked in a bit. Pressed the speaker a in with my finger, and surprisingly its a lot better

I sent mine off this week for RMA. I am to busy to try and fix the speaker myself.

no one ?? not even to say its a possible fault ??
Some times i have same problem
I had the same problem on my first SGS2. Mine was always showing this problem though. It sounds like the speaker is damaged from being too loud. I exchanged it only hours from buying it on day 1. It's a hardware issue if you have the same problem.
superb thanks thats what i thought i arranged replacenent through amazon and it arrives tuesday ... fingers crossed for second one

[Q] should i still return my n7?

ok first of all my n7 had a speaker problem, the left speaker sounded terrible with sounds coming out of it. so i took of the back and tried a method that was on here which was to slightly press around the defected speaker until it pop in or something like that. any way i tried what is said and it pop in back and now no sound what so ever is coming out of the left speaker. but im quite satisfied with the one speaker. it isn't as load as both together but its close to it. so should i still get a replacement? thats was the only problem i had with me n7.
thanks for your time

If it's defective then deff worth exchanging for a new one. Who knows that defective speaker could come back later to bite u in the ass lol.

Well, it's completely up to you. But I would personally RMA or return while you still can. Might as well get a perfect (or almost perfect) N7 if you can.

Question About RMA'ing To Asus After Blown Speakers.

Okay, yesterday, tablet froze, and I hard rebooted, what's weird is it wouldn't boot up for like 2 minutes, I thought it had literally died, well after two minutes of trying it finally rebooted, but all the sudden my speakers were low, and crackly no matter how low/high the volume was, I think somehow the tablet freezing literally blew my speakers -.-, so I called in and set up an RMA and shipped it out today, my question is, with ASUS, and the blown speakers, do they just fix it and return it, or send you a completely new unit, or a refurbished one? I'm sad I have to go 2-3 weeks without my lovely tablet </3.
For me they have repaired the original unit within 6 days, Asus Czech repair center. I am pleased with them.

when my N7 was damaged and i sent it to ASUS for repairs, they just fixed what was needed and sent back the same one. and that was for a cracked screen, so a small issue like damaged speakers im pretty sure they'll just fix it and send back your original.

Are crackly speakers at max volume normal or is that an RMA worthy defect?

I have the same issue on my Nexus 7 3G, and it happens when certain frequencies are played loudly (like bass).

I'm finding most music videos sound a bit blown at over 80% volume. I don't remember if it was like that before.
I send mine for screen repair in Asus and the send it back in perfect condition. No they Will not send they Will fix the problem

This wasn't at just max volume, this was any volume I had it on, from 1% all the way to 100% it was always crackly after the thing froze and I had to hard reboot it.
Has anyone sent in the N7 with bootloader unlocked? Or should we always always relock to be safe?
Send it in its factory condition to be sure!

OMG... Same thing happened to my first Nexus 7,
I was watching Simpsons on my Nexus 7, then it froze for 2 minutes, with a high pitch coming out from speaker....
I assume the high pitch was the reason the speaker blew...
But the best part, i bought it from a really good store were they have this policy of if your device broke, send it back within Warranty and get replacement...
So i quickly Relocked OEM and Unrooted,
But i think my Titanium Backup folder and Clockwork Folders are still inside
Good luck to Asus

Need a replacement earpiece, no sound..

My 9 mo. old son slobbered all over my phone today, his spit/saliva went through every hole possible, immediately i tested every function and only the earpiece stopped working, by earpiece i mean I can not hear anyone when on the phone, unless of course i plug in head phones OR put it on Loud Speaker.
I've seen a ear piece sell for $20 on ebay
not sure if this is the right part though
maybe someone who's replaced this can chime in?

Looking to repair this and resell it
replaced it with a HTC One
anyone?
That is the correct earpiece for the N4. I can confirm this because I have two spare earpieces somewhere in my closet. Just in case you didn't know you will need a T5 torque screwdriver and small Philip screwdriver to open the device.

Lucky, want to sell one? Curious as to why you would have 2 N4 earpieces laying around
Yes i already have it opened up, took the shield off and try airing it out with a air can hoping to dry up the moisture or something.
my vibration also stopped working

Check your speakers!

Just to make you all aware.
On my first 6p bottom speaker was noticeably more quiet. I thought its they way it has to be. Only when I got replacement I realised it must have been faulty. Now both speakers sound evenly and it is louder then previous one.
Something to look for when you get yours

I have ordered mine on the 1/10 from CPW. Got it this Monday. It had a small kind of dent in bottom back cover so got a replacement yesterday and now it has a pink tint on top.
Speakers are awesome though.

Have the same issue on mine. The bottom speaker sounds noticeably muted compared to the top. It's really the only issue with this one so I'm worried about RMAing and getting something worse.

The speakers too? OMG is there anything not being defective with this new phone? I keep reading people having issues with the display, speakers, body damage, there was even a report of a device shutting down on it's own and unable to boot completely...Is it the same with every Nexus launch? I can't remember reading about that many issues with the Nexus 6

Pretty much...second batch is usually better. Not sure when Huawei makes the phone though...

This is my 4th Nexus device. My Nexus 7 (2012) was perfect as far as I could tell but others experienced issues with theirs. My Nexus 7s (2013) all had phantom touch and random rebooting issues. I went through 5 RMAs before I cut my losses and sold the new one they sent me. My Nexus 5 was mostly fine a little bit of button rattling but other than that no issues and still going strong. Now onto my 6P with speaker issues. It's frustrating to go through this but I really love these devices and Google has great customer service. I just expect when I pay $500 for something that it will function properly.

Same issue here. Noticed something was off right away. First time I've had to RMA a Nexus device.
Thanks for the heads up!
I tested my speakers and MAN I AM HAPPY!
I'm coming from the OG G2 and its the best phone on the planet (besides its 1 backside speaker)
So its like I went from last to first. I love how loud the 6p is.
One of first things I did when I got mines. The top speaker on mines sounded louder. So then I tried flipping the phone around and the now top speaker (which is the bottom speaker) sounded louder. So now I think mine are fine lol.
EDIT: I then tried covering each speaker with my finger and the top sounds louder. Honestly it does not sound any way to me though so dont think I will be RMA mine.
What I did notice, at full volume both seem to be the same....however at 50% or less the top seems a little louder.
the sad thing is I just got a bluetooth speaker in and its great and loud. My old phone had such a small speaker(lg g2). The 6p is as loud as my new bluetooth speaker so its not needed as much.

Funny thing is I did the same thing. Flipped the phone around and the top was a little louder. I wonder if it could just be a software issue? Either way everything else (especially the screen) is good on my device. I can't be bothered to RMA for something that probably will be fixed with software. If it is hardware on my device it's nearly unnoticeable.
I called google today about this and they said it was intentional and that replacing the device will not change it.
Apparently a lot of people are calling about it.
man... mine is like this, i was hoping i just had bad hearing. do i want to rma it and risk getting a device with something else wrong....

Don't do it, i returned my first for a tiny defect in the corner of the plastic holding the screen in and got one with a worse defect right next to rhe power button.. Waiting for my third, should have stuck with the first!
Its barely noticeable but my top one is every so slightly crisper and louder. But its one those things where id never have noticed had I not seen this post so I see no reason to RMA.
Here is a test viddy for the speakers

just got off the phone with Huawei they said that both speaker should be at the same volume, google is claiming that the top should be louder...I dont think they want to exchange it.
