speaker blown - remove it ? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys what's up ! My n7's speaker is blown and I thought, why don't I remove the thing and stick with a one speaker
As I have to put it on 50% or so anyway!
And for those interested, no I can't RMA in my country unfortunately

You do know there is only one speaker in the Nexus 7, right?

My speakers sound terrible, too. I just got it off of Swappa. Slightly disappointed with the speaker quality. At a decent volume (where I can actually hear it), it sounds like awful.
Speakers Ok here!
i have the same problem here. first it was anything over 50% volume and now its gotten worst so im sending it off to get repaired
The speaker is one of N7 weaker points. It will crack from time to time.

Try this. Open up your nexus 7. Lightly press on the messed up speaker. If it is the same issue I have you'll hear the speaker pop back in.

I think you're asking how to take apart the nexus 7? The easiest way to find out how would be to look for a YouTube video on opening the nexus 7. There are many.
How i did it... Slide your fingernail or an opening tool along the crease. The snaps holding the back in place should click apart. Slowly and carefully move your fingernail or tool around the entire device until the cover comes off. Be very careful not to break any of the clips on the lid or in the device.

Thanks for this tip! My nexus 7 sounds MUCH better ...

Broken speaker??

Ok, I have too many issues to my nexus 7 to even talk about, but I had really bad screen lift, and I took the back cover off to tighten the screws, and try a few other methods to fix it. Screen lift got better, but now only one of my speakers plays sound, I have tried 3 pairs of headphones, and only the right speaker works in all 3 pairs. These same headphones work fine in my nexus 4 and gnex.
I have issues with files/settings resetting/dispearing as well, but I'm confused as to why only one speaker, and one headphone will play?

Its obviously something wrong with your headphone jack.
You could have messed up the wiring when you removed the back or it could be something as simple as some dust stuck inside the headphone jack.
Look inside the headphone jack and see if you can see anything. Maybe get some keyboard cleaner and blow it out.

Yes, I have tried that but the actually left speaker on my tablet is not working as well, so neither the left speaker on my tablet or the left speaker on any headphones I try work. I'm thinking something in the speaker module controlled headphones mabey?

If it's affecting both, I'd have to guess it's the ribbon cable running down to the lower assembly, per the second frame in the above URL (three pictures, hover over the thumb on the right to switch) .
Might remove that cable and re-insert it. The connector can be a little tricky, see this youtube video:
http://youtu.be/XC2aGLseN64?t=5m10s
Ah sorry about that. I'd have to agree with the previous post. Remove the cover and check the ribbon cable. You could have just loosened it up some so that it is not making full connection.

Why not you simply RMA if under warranty , I also had speakers issue , they did it without any trouble.

I have RMAd twice once for the device not turning on, then again because of screen lift, I might just have to do it again.

New Nexus 7 Sound Chip

On my original Nexus 7, the sound chip is very bad, at max volume the sound isn't even medium loud on my headphones.
I use PowerAMP with bass boost and treble boost on (I listen to electro mainly.) How does the new Nexus 7 compare?
Also, can someone compare the new Nexus 7 to S III in sound quality on headphones? Mainly how long each can go? The old nexus is terrible compared to SIII.
The new sound chip is really really good. Like really good. I use similar headphones comfortabley at about 25-35% volume, Clarity is great, good DAC.
i agree as well. i like the new sound chip as i listen to trance. and to add the new speakers and layout work better as well

As stated in the thread you linked, this does not affect headphone output, only the speakers on the tablet's output so it's not entirely relevant to the OP's question.

I'm finding its close to my HTC One coming through the headphones. Won't go quite as loud and clear but it definitely has impressed me. By far better than the first gen nexus 7!
Is the sound good because it's good? Or is the sound good because of how crappy the OG nexus was? The sound is the only thing I hate. Headphones and speakers. Makes me wonder if mine is defective. Or maybe I shouldn't expect more from a budget tablet. Would love to see more opinions.

I find the sound quality through the headphone jack is just average. Kind of muddy to be honest. I thought the original nexus 7 had a better DAC than this new one. Speaker sound is of course better than the original

I take back what I said, I had the equalizer on and it made the sound poor. The old 7 doesn't sound as good as the new one.

There is a static buzz at low volume on the speakers which appear on most if not all of the new nexus 7.

Don't have it on mine, but I do have a little dust on the upper left corner.
About the topic, I use my own custom made earphones, with superb bass, with AwesomeBeats mod. Works like a charm, though ViperFX also improves sound quality, I'm comfy with AwesomeBeats because its simple. Try any audio mod(requires rooting).
The sound on the 2013 nexus 7 is really good, I mean without headphones on it, it's totally another world from the first gen nexus 7.

Yeah man...! I am not active on Desire forums, because it seems kinda old in front of my new sexi-nexi toy
On a second note, I'm working on a ROM too, so looking everywhere for inspiration...!

What devices do you have? I will do some comparisons if I have any of the same devices that you have. I have a Note 2, Evo LTE, Evo 3D, Asus Infinity, 4th gen iPod Touch, and an iPhone 4.
Just so everyone knows, the iPhone 4 was free, I'd never buy an iPhone! I just use it as an iPod (never been activated by me). I did buy the iPod Touch when it was released though......SMH......

One sided audio in headphones

Hi guys
For some reason recently when I plug in my headphones I only get sound from one side.
Can anyone guide me on this? Most likely a hardware problem I know.
Does anyone know if I have to get a new jack port, where I could get one from?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Actually, this has happened to me quite a few times. I found it to be a problem with the headphones/earbuds instead of faulty hardware. First, my left audio would disappear, and about a month later, the right audio would follow suit. I believe it's just a problem with cheap earbuds, or at least was in my case.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Hmm I dont think its the ear buds as they work fine in every other thing. I've also tried different ones in the n7
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Have you tried shining a light down the 3.5 jack hole (haha, i said jack hole!) to make sure both the small contacts are sticking out far enough to make contact with the earbuds stem?
