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

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:

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.

Slanted headphone jack

I know I'm being nitpicky but I wanted to know if it's normal that my headphones are slanted about 5 degrees towards the left and not just perpendicular to the phone?
I'm using the headphones that came with a SGS3, and it's not the cord.
Can't take a pic now. Might be able tomorrow.

Yes, it's normal.
Yes. mine too. It's probably normal.
Yep .. mine too, noticed it the other day.
Yeah, just noticed it, I find it more well thought of than anything, it makes the jack flush with the curved design, while not being of any disturbance.

Slight bump on external speaker port - defect?

Ok, just got the phone and on the bottom of the back of the phone where the speaker output is it is slightly raised...it seems normal, but unecessary so im just wondering if everyones is like that or if mine has a slight cosmetic defect...
Again...it seems normal. just a little out of place/unneccessary ...and its jot the actual speaker itself but on the back cover where the port for the speaker on the middle line it is raised slightly

I think it is just a design flaw.

Could be there for when the phone is on a flat surface you can still hear the sound.
I'm not really sure tho.

I'd say keep it up. It assisted in answering a question of mine as I thought it was a defect at first glance.

My Galaxy Note had the same bump, it helps to elevate the speaker if it's on a flat surface. I never consciously noticed it until now

[Q] Will Google RMA if screen was replaced?

I replaced my screen. And now I am experiencing problems with battery life, and in need of an RMA. My question is how closely does Google look at the device that are shipped back, will they notice that the screen was replaced? I also forgot to put back the blue tab that was connecting the battery and holding the antenna down in place. Will they take the phone apart and find out I had disasebmled it? Also there is a small gap at the bottom between the bezel and the left screw. I think its due to one of the clips not connecting correctly. I could probably fix all those things but I lost my T6 screw driver, so should I worry about any of those things?

Not sure how picky Google is, but I sent a MyTouch slide into T-Mobile with the screen replaced, they noticed. I have no idea how, I put it all back together. I also recently sent my Nexus 4 in to Asurion for a replacement, the screen went wacky and I opened it to see if it was a loose connection. They didn't notice that.
Honestly you won't know until you try.

Headphone jack broken?

Hey everyone, so today while walking home, I noticed that one of my headphones wasn't working and I was pretty pissed because I love my headphones, anyways, so I tried my other headphones and experienced the same problem, so I concluded my phone broke. So, I've spent about 20 minutes poking around with it and blowing air into it, and I've managed to get one side working, but the other side isn't. One thing I noticed was that the side which isn't working is the side with the mic and these headphones -do- have the 4th prong. I don't have any 3 prong headphones to test with, so I'm going to go to my friends house and test with his, but does anyone know how to fix this because I love my four-prong headphones because the clicker and they're just awesome. Thanks, all help is appreciated.

if its in warranty, they will fix it.
Rooting and all never matters for hardware damages!
Hmmm, I bought it off craigslist, but it was brand new, do you think warranty applies? And do I call LG(

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.

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

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?
