I work in a machine shop and there are a lot of very fine steel chips everywhere. When I put my phone in my pocket all of the fine chips get sucked into the phone from the external speaker magnet and the ear pc receiver magnet. The same thing was happening to me when I had a NexTel phone that had a much more powerful external speaker so, it was kind of understandable. But, at any rate I took the phone completely apart and cleaned the external speaker and that sounds fine now. I also cleaned the ear pc speaker but, I think some steel chips are too far in because the speaker still sounds like **** or it blew from having the chips on it too long. I would rather just replace the speaker myself instead of getting a re-furbished replacement from t-mobile. I looked all over but can't find a replacement ear pc. at all. It would be really cool if anybody know a place to get these type of pcs. Thanks in advance.
Come on guys. You mean to tell me that nobody on this forum knows where to get replacement parts. I find that hard to believe.
Thanks for the help. Lol
Mike,
If nobody has replied, then I guarantee you that nobody who has read your question knows where to find that part.
Now, there are a number of places that sell some types of replacement parts for the HD2...things like digitizers/screens, outer shells, buttons, etc, but I've never seen an item like the speaker you need sold through any distributor. That's the kind of part that rarely finds it's way into normal distribution channels, and so your best bet is to find a junked HD2 that doesn't work for some other reason, but has no problem with the earpiece, and then it would just be up to you to extract the component you need and pop it into your unit.
You can just do a regular google search for "HD2 replacement parts" to find the standard outlets for that type of thing, but I honestly doubt any of them will have exactly what you're looking for.
a few weeks ago I remember seeing a bricked hd2 for sale on ebay for parts. perhaps you can check ebay.

yeah that will be ideal if that guy can get he earpiece for it...he's got some for other models anyway. I note that he's got the pic and the title messed up for the HD2, it's listed as the "Touch HD2", with a pic of a TouchHD...and he's using the HD2 pic for the HD Mini lol.
Thanks everyone. I'll try the cell parts website that was mentioned and if that doesn't work I'll just do a claim on my insurance and get a functional refurbished one. It sucks, but what are you gonna do. I frown uppon refurbished phones. Lol. Thanks again guys for the responses.

Hi there,
After 2 days external speaker has gone dead!
Tried wiping, factory reset, hard reset, and all over again. Nothing-zilch-zero
Found on XDA and elsewhere that Samsung has quite a track record on this particular problem, with GS, GSII and yet with my GN...
Any other reports on this?
Will return mine now.
Regards,
Keep us posted with updates please....

Sorry to hear about your external speaker problem and having to return your note, what a bummer. I didn't realise Samsung had quite a track record on faulty external speakers. Can you post some links in case I get the same problem? Thanks.

Just Google on Samsung External Speaker Dead.
Regards,
Just happened to me. I was listening to a podcast and suddenly no sound. I thought it was Google Listen which seems to occasionally pause for no reason on my N1, but it was still playing. Restarted and tried messing with volume and mutes. BT still works but speaker won't come back. I was using it at full volume if that has anything to do with it.
And I have had it for 8 days.

if you google for an issue on any manufacturer, you're likely to get hits on it specially when the device is popular
Lord, why's so many things wrong with Samsung phone? I just purchased a Note without reading the forums before buying. Hope mine doesnt cause me any headache or this will be my last Samsung phone.
I really don't think this is a widespread issue. Google only reveals this case (now two) and I found a few captivate issues. So it seems pretty isolated.
I found if I put the volume all the way up and hold my ear to the external speaker, that I can just hear it. Will have a chance to back up in a bit and try resetting everything and see if anything helps. Otherwise not looking forward to shipping this back overseas to Samsung for service since I had it a few more days than I thought and Handtec has 10 day policy.
UPDATE: Samsung UK said to contact Handtec who was easy to work with and provided RMA. Part that stinks is that it will be about two weeks before I get a replacement, because shipping overseas in any expedited means was stupidly expensive.
Scaots, did you get any other warranty or are you using Samsungs warranty? Did you have any hoops to jump through for them to honor the warranty even though you're in the US?
did u try and clean out the headphone jack? (maybe with compressed air/ electronic cleaner)

Handtec was no hassle. They had me fill out a form and issued an RMA. Shipping back to UK is a hassle. Expediting would be crazy expensive so going to be another week before I get one back. Still have to find out if I get reimbursed for that.

It's a problem with the device speaker. Headphones work fine and so does the earpiece. If something was activating the headphone jack audio then earpiece audio would also be trying to playback through the jack rather than the earpiece.
Anyone can help me with this?
I received this Defy from a friend so that means no warranty here :/
I actually wanted to replace the faulty speakerphone of my Defy.
I proceeded to order a speakerphone piece for my Defy, then when it came it had free tools for use as well.
I then went ahead to take everything out, and replaced the speakerphone.
I then realised that the I lost the part near the LED (proximity sensor?) when I pressed the button on the speakerphone part to release it.
I thought nothing would go wrong, so I went ahead to place everything back, including the touchscreen.
But then I tried screwing the screws back again and realised they could no longer be screwed back into place. I took a closer look and saw that the screws themselves had been "circle"-fied from a hexagon shape, probably friction caused it.
Now I am stuck with a Defy that shorts the screen upon accepting a call (but the speakerphone works) and a thin strip in the touchscreen that doesn't work.
Any help?
go into some Repair service other than Motorola som non official People can Help,they have exeperience!
yeah go to non official service center... who knows u might get unlocked boot loader...

Yes.....but it depends on which part of Singapore you are at.....
I went to a nearby phone shop , ask for details and they're wanting to charge me SGD$90 for just the touchscreen

about the screws
What i learned from mending and playing with electronic devices is that small screws as seen on a phone are easy to "circle"-fie or destory the thread/scroll. So don't press hard, and as in the video above try to unscrew it without moving the tip of the screwdriver in the screw. Just one turn can damage the screw for good.
Sometimes even if you do it correctly after several screws on/off it gets damaged.
But they are cheap. Saw a US site with phone parts and they had the Defy outer screws for a cheap price. I guess in a service they come even cheaper.
Good luck fixing it.
Out of searching the entire Singapore with my small budget I gave up and sent it for official service :/
But to tell the truth the service centre was quite....umm....dead , 2 workers and only 1 customer when I was there
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
I opened up my s4 extremely carefully to replace a blown ear speaker but when I put it all back together my gps doesn't work anymore. It picks up zero satellites. I figure it's a spring connection or something but I've checked inside twice now for loose or missing connections and I can't find anything. Anyone know which side the antenna is on and which springs they are or how to diagnose where the fault is? Rather not take it in to have someone go click... it's fixed that'll be $100. Lol..

After talking with a few people I should mention that I was in the NE1 firmware and rooted. Could rooting and such mess with the gps somehow. It's back to stock on NI1 with Rogers with stock recovery etc. Tech seems to think it's rooting issue and fried something. Is that possible

I had recently purchased a Verizon HTC. The phone has been great up until a few days ago. The mic for non speaker calls or google voice search no longer works.
I have tried a factory reset to no avail. Has anyone else been having similar issues?
I wanted to see if there was a setting I may have turned off/on that could cause this before returning to Verizon to RMA. Thanks for any help or input (No pun intended)

Usually these are a dead mic on the flex board and have to be rma'd. Problem goes back a couple HTC phone generations.

Thanks for the reply. Called Verizon and they will be sending me a new one out today.
Figure I would make others aware of the problem.
I could understand if I dropped or spilled something on it but I always treat my phones like a baby.
I only had one HTC DNA which I got on release day and used it up until the release of the 10 and never had any issue with it.
Lets hope this does not become a common problem.
