One of the covers for one of the the holes in my speaker port fell inward. Does anyone know how close the actual speaker is to the holes? I'm worried that water or gunk could possibly ruin the speakers. Anyone else have this happen? I called LG because I'm worried that if they aren't in tact, the speaker will be damaged. They told me that the material in the speakers holes never existed. I'm like "um, I'm looking at it right now". Morons. Unless it's material that was meant to be popped out during manufacturing. I have the Verizon version, btw.
Wutevz, I remembered someone had said that the back easily pops off, so I fixed it myself. Also, the speaker is actually in a good position to the holes on the back cover.

Hi,
My kaiser's having problems with the internal speaker on the back,
the sound quality is very poor, the speaker have to be broken.
If i suck the speaker a little with my mouth, the sound becomes perfect.
Does anyone know any place where i could buy a new speaker or anything?
Could this one fit: http://cnn.cn/shop/atom-speaker-p-691.html ?
Fixed.
Tore the speaker part apart (just one screw near the speaker) and there was lots of metal dust inside the speaker.
Grabbed the metal from the speaker with a STRONG magnet and works perfectly!
just out of curosity ... how did the metal dust get there?
And how did you discover you you could get it to work by sucking it with you mouth?
No clue how it got there... maybe the magnet in the speaker sucked it inside.
I was playing around with it a bit, as you know, when you use your mouth to create a better sound when you cover the speaker with your mouth. Then accidentally sucked it a bit and discovered this.
Did some further investigation and saw the metal dust there and fixed it.
Im having the same problem, speaker sounds ike crap, but does work like normal if you suck in on it (weird, i know). Anyone know where to get a replacement one?
Hi,
Sorry for late reply (i'm using raphael nowadays).
Just take the speaker out, use a strong magnet or weak to medium adhesive tape and carefully take the metal dust away from the speaker cone pulling it towards the magnet of the speaker (that's why it works when you suck it)
I just exchanged my black MT4G due to dust under the screen and a strange gap on the backside (under the headphone jack) between the metal and the soft-touch material.
I had the salesperson pull out 2 different black MT4Gs and they all had that gap. We compared it with the white floor demo and there was no gap. What gives?? Is it just the black or the colored devices?
Anyway, I left with a new one with gap since apparently it's just a design flaw. I guess I should've asked around here before I went in to exchange it.
Hopefully the Epik case is out soon. If not I guess I'll need another case quickly. I don't want to find out the hard way that the gap leaves the phone vulnerable.
I hate that my beloved brand new phone isn't built as well as I first thought. Ah well, nothing a case won't fix I suppose. I still love it.
no gap on my black device, pried my case off to check, clear of any oddities
yup, same here. Black one with no gap.
no gap (blk) but you should take a pic cus it'd be nice to see exactly what your talking about (the way you said it makes it sound like you can fall into it lol)
No gap here. Black model.

Whaddya know, my Red has a minute gap just under the headphone jack
If you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have noticed. Less than 1 mm

Glad I'm not the only one (sucks for both of us though).
I'll try to get a pic of it later today. It's definitely not big enough to "fall into" but it's there and big enough for me worry about dust, lint, or moisture getting in there. When I hold it to any light source I can clearly see where the metal forms around the headphone jack.
No gap by the headphone jack on my current white MT4G
but my first 2, white and black, both had imperfections on the metallic ring. They both had areas where they were not straight which created a gap if you looked at it the right (or wrong ) way.
My black MT has a tiny gap where you described. My wife's MT has the exact same imperfection. It's really narrow, though. Less than .5mm. My thought is this: It will cause no foreign particle issue any more than the speaker grill perforations or the headphone jack itself. This thing ain't water-tight (that's what she said) but I don't foresee any problem with it.
Hey guys,
The detailed problem:
I've worked for 2 months into a factory that had crazy amounts of dust and metal residue in the air. Since then i had 2 problems with my phone, both self inflicted by the workplace:
1. my earpiece got killed (compressed air)
2. my mic got suuuuper quiet, the other party could only hear me (badly) if i spoke really loud, or shouted. Also my speaker got quieter.
So in regards of these 2 problems, i had a buddy of mine (who has a phone repair service) to take a look inside. I bought a earpiece speaker for oneplus 2, but it didnt match. the one that matched was from a nokia lumia 930-925 (something like that). I had a hard time getting out the battery, and when the microphone got cleaned, it shed of a large amount of metal residue, the speaker too had a less amount of residue. The problems came when they needed to put the whole phone back. The back cover is THE WHOLE PHONE is made out of rubbish materials (i still love this phone to pieces , and the money value is superb) and the back cover had some "minor" problems when glued back, the rim (which is made out of thin rubber) that holds the back glass cover , got ****ed up, and the glue didn't do its best job, so in a corner the glass got cracked. Also because of the glue and the rim inside the phone the plastic cover is now standing loose.
tl;dr the phone materials are rubbish, back cover got a little cracked in a corner after repairing microphone and earpiece.
All in all i still love the phone, and its a great value for money, but when it comes to repairing...just dont...try to give it back to oneplus to repair it and dont accept bull**** if it comes back looking bad.
I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem since this is a very common case. People can't hear me good unless I take the case off or put it on speaker. This only started happening recently though, had the case/phone since march and never had this problem until the last month or so.
I looked for pictures of the microphone and it looks like it's inside the phone with no hole to clean going to the outside.
I had this problem. Put a piece of scotch tape over the rear mic hole.
Long story short... My little brother spilled a cup of milk on my phone. ?*
At first, both of my speakers seemed to work, just little distortion from being wet, nothing major. I left the phone upside down after drying it off. Come the next day, the top speaker stopped working, but the bottom one works fine. I can't hear anyone unless I put them on speaker, so I checked with Google and my device is well out of warranty, since I pretty much ordered it around day 1.
I haven't yet to contact Huawei, I probably should, but I've went on and ordered this piece here...
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/401176645698
Bottom line... Does anyone have any experience with the teardown of a 6P and know if it will fix the issue, or should I not be stubborn and contact Huawei? ?
Thanks
It will almost certainly fix the issue but the speaker from this seller isn't great quality. My top speaker had distortion after a spill and I ordered a replacement from the same ebay seller. I ended up carefully cleaning up my original speaker with a q-tip and cleaned up the grill while it was apart. Your speaker may need replaced though since it's not working at all. Or maybe the connections to the motherboard are just dirty. Have some thermal compound on hand the replace the old stuff when you remove the motherboard. And test it out before you put the back cover back on.
Don't understand completely, but even looking at the motherboard, I couldn't tell if there was something wrong.
I've replaced the speaker, but the sound coming from the top is super dim. I can't think of what the problem may be whatsoever. [emoji21]
Might take another look, but taking this this was a nightmare(pretty much the first part). Using guitar picks and whatnot just didn't work, but an X-Acto knife worked no problem.
