Speakers not working! - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My mother had dropped her Moto X Play XT1562 a few stories down along the stairs shattering its display. I bought a new Display with Frame from Aliexpress and changed the display myself. After I changed the display, phone rebooted and is okay till now but the Speakers have stopped working. There is no Audio for mp3s or mp4s. Also there is No (very very very faint) voice audible during phone call but mic is okay and person at the other end can hear me clearly.
Have I messed up something during reassembly? What can be the affected part? I placed everything in place as it was, hence can't find the fault.
PS. Past History: I have experience of opening up one phone previously. A Nexus 5 which was even worse shattered and replaced full body frame and lcd. During disassembly I realized that motherboard had few pieces detached (maybe already or due to my negligence) and it just didn't start up after reassembly.

A little update: I forgot to add earlier, during dislodging the battery with a sharp-edged screw driver, I had scraped off some of the thin black film placed below it.
Does it have anything to do with Speakers?

HD2 front speaker grill damaged

Hi there,
I accidently damaged the speaker grill of my HD2. The speaker is still working, but it looks really ugly as the black color got lost and now there are some silver scratches on the grill.
So, is there a way to exchange it? Which spare parts do I need and how much would I have to take apart in order to replace it.
Well, I know, it is not really necessary to replace it as everything functions as it should, but you know, I am really fussy
Thanks!
I would think there would be the same work involved as replacing the speaker, try Googling for HD2 speaker replacements. Can you not just ♫ Paint It, Black ♫?
Thanks for your answer. Well, the grill is not attached to the speaker, as you can see hear: http://www.feelstore.net/web160/Admin/Product20/ProImage1/20109623472367855.jpg
But I can't figure out where it is attached to watching the official disassembly video.
I tried to paint it black, but it doesnt really work that well. I don't know, perhaps I used a wrong pen.
I don't mean it's attatched to the speaker, but rather to get the grill out the HD2 will have to be taken apart the same way as if you were going to replace the speaker. I would assume.

Nexus 7 first generation thinks headphones are plugged in.

Hi,
I bought a second hand first generation nexus 7. Sound from the speakers was working fine, however, one channel of the headphone output was initially broken. To fix this I bought a replacement charger/audio flex and fitted it, and this is where the fun begins.
Headphone out works. The problem is, the speaker audio occasionally drops out, sometimes returning after a while. Having checked the speaker connection, I therorised that perhaps the nexus was thinking that the headphones were plugged in. To confirm this, I installed an app which displays a notification when the headphones are connected. Indeed, when the sound drops out, the tablet thinks the headphones are connected yet they are not. I stuck electrical tape over the edge of the speakers as shown in some youtube videos (the plastic can erode and short out on the case), but this did not fix the issue. I also note that the speaker output is fine if you disconnect the charging/headphone flex.
Having concluded that the replacement flex was broken, I sent it back and ordered a replacement. I put it in and... the same again?!? I can't believe it.
Here is the part I am using: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141216668642?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Is that correct?
Attached is a picture of the original part and the new part side by side. The top one is the original. They are identical in size, but some components differ slightly, e.g. the usb socket and the markings on the flex (e219454 vs. e219454GF).
Anyone know what is going on here? Cheers :good:
For the record, I tried fiddling with the edge connector pins (the ones exposed on the outside of the side of the case) just in case they were not making good contact and shorting something. No joy...
I have the same issue on my 1st gen Nexus 7 after replacing the same I/o assembly. Were you ever able to find a fix?
Thanks in advance
Same issue here, any solutions?

The metal unibody is damaged and the bottom speaker grill also the sound is distorted when above certain decibel level sounds like crackling I am not very experienced and in Canada with no warranty since from gearbest where can I repair it and where can I get the parts from trusted place I could find any parts all it showed was cases and speakers thank you any help is grrr8 sorry for **** grammmer also phone color is quartz gray.
Sorry that happened to you.
Couldn't you locate a local repair shop and have them assess the situation? I guess the phone needs to be opened and checked from the inside, to see what kind of damage it received. It does look bad. The board and the screen are probably ok and it seems that the plastic frame broke and with that, the connection to the bottom speakers.
Have someome look at your phone.

ear piece problem - replaced it and still low volume

Hi,
Few weeks ago the sound became very low no matter what I did. I thought that the speakers (upper / lower) are faulty and replaced them with new from AliExpress (trusted seller with high rating). After the replacement, the sound is still low on max configuration.
What else can be the problem?
Thanks

Me to.
in my case, the solution was to take the phone apart and after removing the ear speaker I could properly clean the ear speaker grill.
There is a really fine metal mesh net inside with micro holes that is getting completely gunked up (and I keep my phone clean usually but after 4 years of use...)
In the beginning I could not even see trough it when a normal light came from the back.
Initially, placing the display with the grill over another phones flash light I could see it as yellow greenish shining through.
It took me an hour of cleaning. I used a peace of a toothbrush and contact cleaner. I had to brush it from both sides several times.
In between using compressed air and at the and I used alcohol. After the cleaning i could see normal light coming through.
and the result is unbelievable. I thought it must be 100% a hard or software problem. Even after seeing the gunk I could not believe it could have such an influence...
Same goes for the bottom grill. People always complained they could not hear me well during calls.
After cleaning (less extensive) of the bottom grill it got much better.
Check the position of the mic and give it a good clean.

LG V35 Microphone Completely Dead.

Hello I have an LG V35 that I absolutely love. This has been one of the best phones I've owned. The screen is nearly unbreakable, I've dropped this thing on concrete more times than I can count, I've dropped wrenches and sockets directly on it while working on the car more times than I can count. -- hyperbole I can count between 1/2 dozen to a dozen but the point still stands --
Now around 6 months ago my main microphone upped and quit working. However if I switched to speakerphone the Mic would work perfectly. A minor inconvenience. Just the other day I received a call and the speakerphone Mic no longer works either?
Now I'm thinking hardware issue, but before I tear this thing apart I figured I'd check with experts here. Lord knows I've made that mistake in the past! So I'd really like to know.
1. It appears the USB-C charging port and at least 1 Mic are both on the same module? That would track because I've had some issues with fast charging for a while now.
2. Are there 2 distinct separate microphones in different locations or are they both on the same module?
3. Is there any chance this isn't a hardware failure?
I'd greatly appreciate any advice. I have a hard time finding a phone I can live with so I plan to at least take a stab at saving this one.
I definitely agree with you about the V35. It continues to perform really well even after four years. Indeed, it is sad that no other phone has come along to match it and that is appealing as an upgrade. I'm in no hurry.
About your speaker problem, you might consider replacing it altogether. There are pristine ULM units available from Amazon for about 185 USD.
Update! I fixed it! I was about to pull the trigger and buy a new mic module I decided to do a little more troubleshooting.
When I ran my voice recording program still nothing, however I noticed when I tapped on the bottom of the phone with my fingernail there was a very slight sound recorded. Now it's been my experience that when there is a hardware failure on a phone it fails completely not partway like old analog devices were prone to.
So inspected the bottom very carefully and found that what I had been cleaning wasn't the opening for the microphone but actually for the speaker! There is a teeny tiny hole on both the bottom & top where the mic is located. I would up skinning the plastic off of a twist tie and very carefully cleaned that hole out of all the junk in there. I use my phone while working on vehicles a lot and what I pulled out looked like bearing grease of similar.
After the clean out it works like a champ!
