Back mini speaker for Magician

I broke my backspeaker.
A few days ago The sound of my backspeaker began to go bad. Somtimes it was bad and when I shook the phone it was working. But lateron the shaking wasnt working so i opened my phone and tryed to clean the contacts. When I pushed the surface of the speaker it worked so I am sure its the speaker and not the software.
Im not going to tell you how I tried to fix the speaker
Lets just say that theres no warrenty nomore
Where can I buy this speaker (tryed to google or search this forum but found nothing)
Please help

I've read somwhere in this forum that you can replace the speaker with a Nokia speaker. It's better and available at many places. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18384&highlight=speaker+nokia.
But I don't know if that's about the back-speaker???

Im sorry to say that that subject was about the front speaker.
Im still looking for the backspeaker.
Thanks anyway for the reply

More unlikely to find it. Need to try your service center for Help!

It's the same as a blueangel main speaker but with a longer lead.

You would need to splice the wires longer.

I did it !!!
I replaced the back speaker with a speaker from alcatel ot511
I used a solder iron (how do you translate a "soldeerbout" in inglish) to coneect the 2 wires to the speaker. And voila .... there was sound.
Its not to loud but the quality seems a bit better.
btw the speaker cost me 2 euro so thats a lot cheaper than the 30 euro you pay for the original xda speaker

Hermes sound problem

Hi!
A few days ago i bought a mda vario 2. The problem is that i have no sound. When some1 is calling i have only vibrations or when i want to listen a song, watch a film etc. I did hard reset a few times. I tried diffrent roms but it doesnt help. Cleaning mini usb gives nothing. I have wm 6.1 proffesional. Please help me sorry for my english im from poland

Yes i had the same thing when i got my hermes, it was my first WM device so i wasnt familiar with it. If your case is the same as mine then you have your sound profile set to "Vibrate". You can change it either by taping on the little loudspeaker icon on the top of your today screen and selecting "On", or if you have the HTC Today plugin, by selecting "Profiles" and then "Normal" mode. Hope this helps

But i have "normal" profile with sound on. Also when i try to see a video or listen mp3 files i dont have sound

There are several threads on sound problems here. Do none of them fit your situation?
Is it just the rear speaker that has no sound?
Do you get sound using the headphones?
Could it be that the Rear speaker push on connector needs pushing back on?

OK, but if someone phones you I know you do not hear it ring BUT can you hear their voice in the front speaker?
Mike

I can talk normally.

Try the info for new members http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325748 . I had the same issue and had to re-attach the speaker plug.I checked this out by gently squeezing the unit below the speaker about 2cm down, it would make the connection then quit sound again. When I removed the back case (not the battery cover) I saw the plug was loose. Follow the instructions in the Hermes manual (from the post) carefuly.

If you remove the void sticker then the Warranty becomes useless. It is supposed to stop you dismantling your phone.
So, if you have a warranty then use it. If you have NO warranty then use a a Torx No 6 screwdriver to remove the screws. (Just peel off the sticker, it will break up into little pieces).

i had same problem but i upgraded my rom to the v7 blue calm and now it works perfectly..i also have vario 2 but my warranty was voided long time ago lol if doesnt work theres a guy who made a website detailing instructions on how to fix it

I am having a sound issue, but it's pretty unique.
My rear speaker works fine if I'm trying to use it for the speaker phone, but it won't work in any other application. For example, I cannot play songs from windows media player, it won't play any ringtones when I receive a call.
I tried plugging in the USB headphones, and it's exactly the same. Works for the phone, not for anything else.
HOWEVER, with a bluetooth headset, I can play songs just fine. This leads me to believe it's a software issue but I can't pinpoint what it could be. Anyone have any ideas before I hard reset this bad boy?

Sound Problems, Maybe

I was just wondering, on the back of the Hero, there are two "Speaker holes", one at/near the top, and one on the bend. With my hero, no sound directly come out of the lower hole, EG: I can hear sound from it - but that's probably just the other speaker - and is MUCH quiter than the "upper" speaker.

^You can see the two speaker holes..
Anyone else have this "problem", is that just the way heros are? WHY-O-WHY then are there two holes, implying stereo sound...

Ya know what I mean?

i don´t want to destroy your dreams but it has only one speaker

Ok, so why is there ANOTHER hole lower down on the phone?

i can´t explan this in english but i try...
there you can put this "rope" in it. see here
http://www.pid-handy-fit.de/Fotos/P..._Wildleder_Trageschlaufe_lang_schwarz_neu.jpg

Look in the manual, there´s a picture around page 30

I got mine from, ugh, fleBay... SO no manual, and a wrist strap defenatly doesn't go in there... But - there is no direct speaker sound coming out from there, on everyone's Hero?

If you have sound coming out of your lower hole, you need to see a doctor, or possibly Simon Cowell.

Go to the HTC homepage under support you can download your manual.

Haha, but seriously, I Don't, what I'm asking is - Does sound come out for you? There is no speaker there so why did they put a hole there? In the battery holding 'bay' there are channels which may 'channel' the sound from the main speaker?
As long as no-one else has sound there, it's fine, I though the hero might have two speakers and one of mine was broken..
Thanks

Yes, a wrist strap DOES go in there.
The wrist strap goes through there and onto the hook on the back of the phone, you have to take the cover off before you can do it.

There's no sound coming from it on mine. Could it be anything to do with the mic? I've not bothered looking at a disassembly guide yet as I haven't needed to.

Speaker Issue

Hi,
Has anyone encountered any issues with their speaker apart from that infamous volume balance?
My right speaker refuses to play anything but if I press the chassis of the transformer together the speaker works but stops working as soon as I let go. To me it sounds like some sort of loose connection/contact.
How easy is it to dismantle? Has anyone encountered a similar issue?
Thanks.

My left speaker doesn't work, but very occasionally will momentarily come to life. Squeezing the edge doesn't make a difference. I assume its a loose connection, but I have'nt done anything about it yet.

My left speaker doesnt have any sound at all

Hey OP, I have the same issue, except mine still plays at times, gets fuzzy and buzzy at loud volumes, then stops. However, if I press the right side together, it plays again, so it's not noticeable if I use a really tight sleeve on it, but with the loose sleeve I normally use on it .. :/

Same here, when it does play, its very buzzy. I am inclined to open it up and check if its some loose contact or something but I don't fancy messing my Transformer up as of yet lol.

No problems with either of my Transformers myself, but there were a few reports in the past of poor connections to one of the speakers on some TF units. (Right speaker, if I remember correctly.) Forum search will find them.

If my TF had these issues I would send in for repair

My left speaker quit working all together and right speaker from the start was extremely weak. I sent it to ASUS for repair with less than one week turn around and both speakers are nice now. Well worth the time to have done properly.

I'm scared of the RMA process tbh :/

I Managed to fix mine if you people are interested.
It involved disassembling the Transformer.
I took the speaker out of the "compartment" it was in, switched on the tablet and put on some music. No music came out. Pressing the speaker in sound came out but as soon as I let go the sound disappeared. I cut out a small piece of paper and folded it a couple of times and placed it in the compartment the speaker goes in.
When I put the speaker back in the paper sort of squashed the speaker in a bit which in turn kept playing music.
Its not the best of explanations but if someone has a similar issue they may be able to use that as a guideline lol

How hard is it to disassemble the tablet? Also, what tools would I need?

Its not very hard. You just need some patience as removing the bezel is the only bit you need to be careful with.
You would need a Phillips screw driver (one of the small ones) and a Torx T5 I believe was the correct size.
I used this video as a guidance:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG9gEYRALtU
To remove the bezel he uses a plastic tool with a very thin edge but many people have had success simply using a guitar pick to remove the bezel. Luckily I had one of those plastic tools and was able to remove it.
Once you can see the insides:
That little black rectangle on the right is the speaker, inserting the small screwdriver in the compartment its in, you should be able to take it out and if your encountering the same problem as me, just press and hold the speaker from both sides to see if audio works.

This happened to me tonight while watching a youtube vid! Been looking through the forums for successful speaker replacements and messaged one guy already who might have the correct replacement speaker part.
Will update when I know more.

Cracking it open is very easy as long as you take it slow. I did it to fix my power button. It is pretty well known by now that the TF101 was one of the most cheaply built but still amazingly performing tablets on the market.

[Q] Headphones not working????

Whenever I plugin my headphones, only the right side works. At first, I thought it was a problem with my headphones, but it's all headphones and roms no matter what I do. What should I do?

@aaronfrickinaustin As far as I hear I think that there's something with your headphone port(or how it's called... I forgot it.) where you plug in your headphones. See or there is something inside maybe and or dirt came in if so clean it.

It's called a socket or a jack, FYI. It's possible it's damaged, but I bet there's just some obstruction in the jack or such. Also, make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in!

Nothing's working, if anything, the issue's getting worse

I assume you looked inside to make sure there was no obstruction? If not, I'm guessing your jack is failing. You can look for a bluetooth audio adapter I suppose, as I assume you're device is out of warranty.

Well, it's completely gone, now I can't get audio out of anything :/
I guess I have to replace it now, sucks. :crying:

I have the exact same problem. My headphone doesn't work. Only the right one. First I experienced some crackling and deep sound (distorsioned), then I fixed this issue partialy with the Volume Boost Mod (flashed version) from a XDA user. The right headphone works just fine but the left one doesn't.
There is no information about this problem right now. It begun when I flashed CloudyG3 I think, but also I flashed the baseband for my modelo, I don't know if this has to do whit this
Please anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone think this would work???
