So I had cracked my screen. Went to replace it with a new screen.
The replacement process went very smoothly and after the phone was re assembled everything works perfectly -- EXCEPT for the loudspeaker, which does not work at all.
The funny thing is that I did not even touch the loudspeaker, it was attached to the board which was moved from one frame to the other.
Tried starting in safe mode to eliminate any chance it was software....
Finally I figured that i possible messed it up somehow so I ordered a replacement speaker off ebay.
Replaced it but still no sound at all -- nothing from the loudspeaker. This means also no ringer, only vibrate.
I am really at a loss as to what to do next. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be the problem ?
I need a phone that rings !!
I know that this is an old thread but did you find a solution? I'm facing the same problem with one of these phones.

I need urgent help with this problem im having. I was using my JAMin when all of a sudden, it just went mute. I turned it off and on again but it didnt do any good. Everything else is working fine; it's just that there is no sound.
I've tried inserting and taking out the hands-free pin from the jack but still no luck. I even tried the hard reset; but still no success.
Kindly help me out!
Thankyou.
You get sound from the handsfree? if so, the speaker could be broken.
The thing is, the speaker just can't break on its own now can it? I mean it the set didn't fall or anything, so how can the speaker possibly break?
Oh and yeah, i do get sound from the handsfree; just not the speaker.
same problem with mine...turn out the speaker is broken, apparantly it is common problem with early version of 818pro (the service centre told me that)
Yep you got a bad one.
This seems to be a major problem with the HTC Prophet as a whole regardless of the branding. I have returned mine to Orange for a replacement, they confirmed that it was hardware failure. I thought that I might have just got unlucky with a bad batch, but looking across the NET and here, it appears that all brands based on the HTC Prophet are failing.
Obviously, shoddy manufacturing, I guess HTC did a little penny pinching with the speaker system.
Hey all, im glad this site is up its been great finding what i can really do with my wizard!
here is he issue im having. the wizard has 3 different speakers and 1 microphone. 2 side speakers (used to play music, or speaker phone) and the 1 main speaker (used for hearing calls). none of the 3 work when im making calls, listening to music, alarms, or any of the "screen click" sounds and the microphone doesnt work on phone calls or note recordings. however, the one time the speakers do work is when i have an incoming call, i tried listening to see which speaker its coming out of and it sounds like all 3. the headphone jack still works so thats what ive been using. pressing the speaker phone button while on a call (that i cant hear) doesnt do anything, the UI doesnt show any change or switch to indicate its changed to speaker phone and the "speaker on" button doesnt change to "speaker off" like it used to.
originally i thought this was a ROM issue, i was using the manufacturer's ROM (cingular 8125, unlocked for tmobile service) so i followed the lovely tutorial and switched my phone over to the t-mobile 2.26 ROM. this had no effect, so I then upgraded to XDA's WM6 ROM and while i love this new ROM it still did not fix my sound issue.
im stumped, any help anyone can offer would be great. I wanted to post here before i crack it open to look at all the insides.
same problem!
I'm having the exact same problem! I just noticed the problem recently, when my phones alarm didn't sound. I'm running a custom cooked rom from mattk_r 318 kitchen, but I don't think the rom is the problem, as i am indeed still hearing sound from the head phone jack. I don't think the internal speakers are broken, as when a call comes, the phone rings, and the sound come out from the speaks as mentioned above!
Help!
dropped?
have you ever dropped your phone?
I have dropped mine a couple times and thats the only cause I can come up with. But this never seemed to be a problem until recently.
no major drop recently.
i havent really dropped it recently at all.and for some reason i dont think the hardware is the problem,because i tryed voice recorder,and it records my voice and i can play it
back through the headset.so that confirms that the mic and both spealers work (rings
when incoming call). i really dont want this to be the downfall for my wizard! is there
any key registry entrys for sound maybe that we could have a look at? btw my wizards a G4 if thats makes any difference.
please help!!
mine is a g3, if it were a software issue then reflashing should have solved it. right? i dont know enough about the internal workings of the wizard to know what a flash actually does.
?
Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?
Well, a flash is an OS upgrade/downgrade. It contains drivers, programs, registry settings, things of that sort. Sounds like your problem is hardware related, nothing to do with the OS itself.
I assume the warranty on that baby has already expired, so you're pretty much on your own.
Two options come to mind:
1. The obvious... buy another Wizard
2. The not so obvious... buy another Wizard with a broken screen and take all of its guts out and put them in yours.
A third option also exists... (ther's always a third way)
Mind you, this is for INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY! In no way do I condone the below mentioned method.
Get a new line of service with Cingular and buy the Wizard to use with it. Exchange their boards, swap the IMEIs using the Wizard Service Tool utility found on these boards, cancel the line of service and return the "new" Wizard.
Sound issues
I have had a similar problem but located my problem to the microswitch which is in the headphone socket. Might be worth trying pulling the headphones in and out a few times to see if it allows the microswitch to release (if that is the problem?)

The wizard is magic
Some how my wizard seemed to repair it self. Its sound is working again...i didn't reflash or do anything special....weird. I think its because the phone had a good vibrate....ive got one of those speaker docks for the wizard..i put it in there...got a phone call and talked and stuff...but while it was in there (with the mic plugged it) it vibrated alot...maybe that flicked the switch mentioned above?
weird..this phone never ceases to amaze me. I just hope it doesn't happen again... because it appears to be emerging as a problem as the wizards get older?
Keep up the good work guys!
LOL!!!!!!!!! its so simple and yet so amazingly smart
wow, Steve you are the most amazing person EVER!
I put the headphone piece in about 1/10 of the way and slowly made a swirling action as i slid it all the way in, clicked the start button on wizard and i heard the "click" for the first time in a month!
Thanks!
I tried different options to get my sound back, no luck so far
Problem started after using the headset-connector to connect it to an FM-Transmitter.
After reading this thread, my guess is that the "micro-switch" is in a wrong position. So I opend my MDA, but can't find any "switch" in that connector.
Is there some more info about that connector, a connection-diagram perhaps ?
what worked for me was inserting the headset jack in roughly, robbing each side of the headset jack to try to hit the "switch". that might work for you.
Yes!!! Thank you a lot!
I have the same problem, no sound in my speakers, just vibrate and sound in handsfree. I figure out that this micro-switch could be the problem, but I haven't know how to solve it. Thank you once again, I love my SPV!! and this community.
Fixed!
Woohoo!
This problem just cropped up for me on the weekend.
Thankfully it wasn't long before I happened across this thread.
About a minute of persistent jiggling the microphone jack did the trick.
Thanks!
Ok guys due to my lack of knowledge on which repair is a sure thing, i dont know which 8525 to purchase.
Option 1 is
8525, working battery, and battery cover only for $199
Problem is touch screen does not work.
Touch screens on this ebay link average around $30
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=8525+touch&category0=
Option 2 is
8525 with all of the components for $224
Problem is speaker does not work.
Speaker price is $10 here
http://search.ebay.com/search/searc...ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1&fsoo=1
My question to you guys is which repair is more of a sure thing?
Are those touch screens i found on ebay compatible? I saw images of the phone and the lcd is in tact, it just has no response from tapping the screen, does that mean the touch screen does not work and i just need to select the right touch screen/digitizer?
In regards to the speaker option, would the repair be a sure thing if i just opt to buy the replacement speaker?
Thanks in advance guys

any one por favor =D, time is not on my side
For me, both seem a little high for broken hardware, but then that isn't your quesiton.
Were it me, I would go with the deficiency that I could live with the easiest, just in case repairs were unsuccessful. As my phone is usually hooked up to A2DP or on vibrate mode, the loss of the speaker would be the easiest to live with for me.
The owner of option 2 sent me a msg stating
"no problem, the speaker just doesnt play out loud, so theres no ringer, speakerphone, or music out loud. but when your on the regular speaker during a phone call or if you have the headphones plugged in its fine. it just stopped workin last wednesday and i dont know why, and like i said i have it with t-mobile service and cant get it service"
So it seems the connection might just be loose or if it fails just a replacement of the speaker. Correct?
Seems like the correct assumption to me and my choice. I'd go with the easier/cheaper to fix option. Given the touchscreen is not working on the other one, it could be anything from a particle stuck in the border of the screen to a broken cable to something worse, and who knows what has been done to the phone to cause the issue.
I'd say, Go for the one with the bad speaker.
The unresponsive touch screen has been seen in several devices, changing screen didn't fix the problem in most cases.
Good luck!
I would wait and get one that works.
With the 8925 coming out on Monday, you'll see a lot more of these being sold in the near future.
wait for 8925 AKA tytn 2
Please help i followed the usual steps. Opened up the phone and left to dry for five days. Then when i turned on the phone everything seemed to be working fine, Except when i am making a call i cannot hear anything. If i enable loud speaker the sound is routed the back speaker. So it seems the front speaker is faulty. Anyone know where i can buy a new speaker?

Hi,
I just got a td2 and straightaway thought that the speakerphone sounded abit crackly. After showing a couple of friends and seeing what they thought they both said the crackling was abit weird but maybe the phone was just like that but im not entirely sure.
Does anyone else have any trouble with there speakerphone? When the volume is completly low it sounds fine, putting it up even abit causes there to be a small crackle when someone speaks (signal is fine and ive tried with a few of my friends).
I've got a 14 day return policy with this company i have gotten my contract from and its been 3 days now and i should be able to get a replacement but i dont want to send it off and them to say this is how its supposed to be. So is this a known cause or is there something that can be fixed or did i just get a bad td2?
Thanks
I have had it with my Touch 3G, before making a call i blowed in the speaker and it was gone.
My HTC Touch Diamond2 does not have that problem.
i had a very similar problem. the speaker worked fine, but when the voice hit a certain pitch level it would distort slightly, like it was picking up a vibration.
I sent it back and got a replacement, and the new one is fine.
Right thanks to both of u, ive tried the blowing thing already and tried again but no luck.
I think the problem is exactly the same as the u described adamrob69 but I just didn't explain it very well lol, so i've sent them an email and will ring on monday and get it exchanged, how lucky must i be to get sent a faulty one .
Thanks
dont worry, it seems at the minute theres a 50-50% of getting a duff phone. The build quality is slipping on these phones.
Im still not enitrely happy with the quality of my second one, but whilst everything still works on it im not going to go through the hassle of changing again!
I have same problem but with speaker at side, when phone rings the sound cracks.
