ahh its so annoying i wouldent mind if i had phone a while but not even 24 hours and grills are clogged , nice phone thou lol
O yaaaaaaaaaaa that what I needed to brighten my morrning. :cyclops::laugh::laugh::crying:
sucking speakers wid mouth .. lol
I found that playing music at 100% volume and blocking the clean parts of the speaker with my finger causes the dust to fly out of the speakers
Wow, sucking speakers with mouth to get dust out. Seriously the OCD king of XDA right here! Literally heard it all about this device now, lol! Play a song with heavy bass to push that dust out, haha! Seriously how do u see dust in the speaker holes? Do u have a 50x magnifying glass u use for this? Maybe there's a bubble case for people who like to live in bubbles to avoid the elements of going outside into the wild of this planet? Oh boy.

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)
Ok I'm sure you all like to keep your HD2's looking as clean and shiny as i do, however I've noticed a bit of fluff and dust collecting in the earpiece speaker grill. I was just womdering if anyone had found a quick and simple way of cleaning it? I've tried cotton buds, sellotape and air dusters but it wont shift!
Before you suggest it I've already considered shrinking myself down to microscopic size (like that 80's movie with Dennis Quaid) and removing it by hand but thats not very practical.
Cheers.
150 psi out of my air compressor works well
Il remember that next time Im putting some air in my tyres. Cheers.
I use one of the girlfriends unused blusher brushes, and I keep it in the case all the time. A thick brush works best, you can grip the tip and give the grill a brisk brush.
Try one of those little usb vaccum cleaners. They're only a few bucks on ebay and should do the trick.
Yes, very annoying with all the crap that collects in the ear piece speaker grill...
Thanks guys...... gonna go and raid the missus' make up bag for a little brush.....
USB vacuum cleaners......lol thats a new one....
usb vacuum cleaners are just a geek collectable (I would know, I have one sitting on my desk anc passively collecting dust since at least 3 years ago as it is useless for any other use )... anyway, @you who suggested pressurized airflow... don't you worry that it will somehow damage the speaker membrane?
I'd rather go for a very delicate brush

Paintbrush! Little one.
A quick blow job works for me

A 'blowjob' will work for me as well
Im using small paiting brush
Also while I think of it, I use one of those super-duper 'Xlerator' hand dryers at work on occasion to blow some of the dirt out of it.
Dont use a Dyson vaccum cleaner tho I sucked 4 keys off my laptop and what a pain replacing those
Thanks again folks, some strange and ingenious solutions indeed. The small brush is doing the trick but theres still some crap actually lodged in the grill I can't shift. Oh well..... at least I haven't smashed the screen or anything serious ....
This cyber clean gel works well for picking dust out of the ear slot and the USB socket.

I wouldn't use that!
I did this once at work on an old phone, and as you know, water likes to form in the pipes when it's not been used in a while in compressors, also you get tiny bits of dirt in the pipes which you're blasting out and through the grill like a soft sand blaster!
Anyway, didn't even notice the small amount of water blasting out until the phone stopped working and i took it apart again to see the whole board was rusty.
Wondering if it was the air line that did it I fired it at a wall for about 30 seconds and saw it forming on the wall and running down.
A quick empty of the compressors drain valve did the trick to stop the water, but I still wouldn't trust it now.
I use a sort bristled (unused) tooth brush on my HD2 now.
Try good old blu-tack.
That or use something like a pin to dislodge the bits then the brush to clear them.
A soft tooth brush may work.
I do construction for a living so at times I'm exposed to metal shavings and what not. Is there a way to clean the ear pice and speaker out on my evo cause at times its terrible. Sprint store will replace speaker but they don't do a thing about ear piece. Any help would be sweet.
Mine is the same way from locksmithing, unfortunately I never found a fix just a work-around. I got a bluetooth headset.
There is another thread about this already for evo 4g. You need an earth magnet and it requires taking apart the phone. It does work, it did for me at least. I thought I kept blowing the ear piece speaker and it turned out to just be metal shards in the speaker (I work in construction).

I spilled some water on my s5 ...în the sink ...a small-mediu quantity of water (I washed my phone with soap ....I did that even before and was ok) ...everything îs ok except SPEAKER which in the past 2 days has been all distorted ...very crispy sound
I'm so desperate ...I don't know what to do ...I supposed if there was water left inside speaker would dissappear in 2 days ...WTF ,
I left my phone 8h in a small quantity of rice ...nothing ...
PLEASE HELP ... it is over ?
Omg ) I washed it again ..spilled some water on the speaker and now it's OK ...thx God
I don't know how to close this thread
I'd be careful using soap, it might decay the rubber seals protecting the phone from water, and next time you 'wash' it, it might not survive
You can't close threads
Hello guys. I am worried about leaving the phone in my pocket while I work, because my job is a very active one, on a very hot country in the summer, so sometimes I see moist on the screen when I pick up the phone. I try to turn it with the front facing the outside of the body, but not always. I maybe paranoid but the speaker on the mxp lately seems to be with the volume slightly lower.
My moto e 2015 damaged the speaker this way, and had to be replaced. I know the mxp has some sort of water protection but not much.
Shall I be concerned?
What do you guys do to prevent this?

Burn it.
No,lol. Maybe some sandwich plastic bag or a snap/zipper bag wil do the job.
Poke some holes in your pocket to let the phone breathe

Haven't thought about the holes thing. But, putting it in a plastic bag, is even worse. Assuming you were serious about the post.
These are the times I think how nice it must be to have a full waterproof phone!

More ment the special made smartphone plastic bags. I have seen them before in stores around and these bags are ment for travellers to make it waterproof. What also could help is to wrap the phone in a cotton towel so the sweat/water gets absorbed into the towel instead of the phone.
Oh! Haven't thought of that. Thank you all
