HI,
New to oneplus 5 forum.
I recently bought a used oneplus 5 with a broken screen.
I am reasonably familiar with replacing screens, and the odd modular parts of phones
So, replaced the screen and frame, put it back together, everything seemed good
Checked everything, all things seem to work, except for loudspeaker?
Headphone output works , but I get a clicking from the speaker.
Have tried another working speaker - same thing.
Have ordered another flex cable from motherboard to speaker in case thats the fault.
There are several contacts on the speaker and underlying module that appear to connect with the back case.
The back case has the headphone and usb charging port, and several electrical contact points.
So - does anyone know if the back case has to be clipped back into place to get the speaker working?
I am reluctant to try it just to see see because it is a pain in the xxss to get it off again without scratching my shiny new frame.
if anyone can enlighten me who has experience of this I would be most grateful.

YAAY!
t'was the motherboard cable

I've tried this in 2 XDA II's. I put my headphones it one and it works but you cant hear it and you have to hit the cap around a little for it to get sound for a slip second. I put my headphones in another XDA II and it works fine.. So obviously there is something wrong with this XDA II's headphone jack. The rubber cover to the headphone jack is missing, would this have any effect on it?
EDIT-
When I put it in the broken headphone jacked PDA when I insert the headphones in it makes a crinkle noise from me pushing it in. The other XDA II goes in smoothly. =/
Hi.
Rubber cap doesn't change anything (apart from stopping rubbish from getting into connector )
What you described is a case of worn out connector (in PDA).
It happens sometimes. Jack type connector aren't so tough, especially when you plug in and out often.
If you dismantle Blueangel, you'll have clear view of connector body soldered to PDA's mainboard.
You can do it. You can let somebody do it. Or You can leave it to professionals.
The connector needs to be replaced (very cheap part).
Maybe it's enough to bend metal terminals inside a little. A person who does hardware will know.
There's a optimistic version though.
Maybe only cleaning the terminals would do for you (I doubt it though).
It can be done without opening BA.
I'd recommend using some special spray (for cleaning electrical contact metals). Ask in electronic parts shop.
Good luck.
I ment my XDA II, not XDA IIs, lol. I have no expierence with opening the phone but I am good with electronics, but I don't know exactly what I'm looking for =/. I think I might just buy the HT820's Bluetooth headset, that would solve my problem overall.
Faulty socket repair...
Hey guys,
I have the same problem as above (crackling sound through headset) and the O2 service centre said it would cost £97 to fix.
But just did a web search and found a small company in London that said they can fix it (within 2 hours!!!!) for only £30!!!!
Im off to get it sorted so I'll let you know how it all went!!!
Richie Rich.
Mine wasn't like this until I bought it. I bought it from a friend for only $100USD because I'm very good friends with him, it works fine perfectly but the only problem is the headphones don't work in it (any headphones) and he knows there is something wrong with the jack, it wasn't like this until recently it happened. It's cheap to fix probably... but I'd rather just buy the HT820 bluetooth headset, its a good replacement instead of having to send in the PDA to fix a little headphone jack port I wont be ever using sooner or later.
but hey if that place fixes your phone, reply to this topic I want to know!
Headset Jack
I had this exact same problem in the past.
The headset would crack and go out every once in a while, sometimes I would have to move it around in order to get any sound at all.
I didn't do anything about it until it completely broke off, yes the inside plastic connected to the motherboard broke...
So I went to open it up, its not that hard, just a few screws, but I had to buy a torax screw driver (not that expensive)
I was also a bit shy about opening it, but I found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8525&highlight=opening+himilaya
you wont have to open it all the way up... just pulling the back cover off, then you will see the headset jack,
If it isn't broken or cracked then your solution would just be to take the metal connectors and a flathead screwdriver, and bend them,
Don’t bend the metal connectors too much so you can’t put a headset in, but just enough where there is definite connection around the headset,
You might want to put a headset in and see the dimensions before you close it (to save you from opening it up again)
You might want to clean the metal if it is dirty, ether with a dab of eyeglass cleaner on a soft cloth (eyeglass cleaner works well with electronics, due to the alcohol that evaporates)
Although if the metal is encrusted or rusty, you might want to take a small strip of sandpaper, or some abrasive object, but don’t rub too hard or you'll take them off!
Don’t worry too much about opening your device up; it is not hard, just open it with caution.
Good luck!
imablackhat, hi, did u mean that ht820 can output sound from media player & every sound from xda2? my current BT is bluetrek G2 and as far as i'm using it for talking only. how many hours the batt can last if we continously hear musics?
its 17 hours of music, www.expansys.com, search HT820, its the headset. I'm considering buying it for cheaper on eBay.
Hi, I've finally discovered the source of my sound issues, and its due to the power connector being loose (possibly from being dropped by the previous owner)... I've read around a few other threads and thought this might help others experiencing the same problem...
Is there anyway I can sort this problem though? I've bought one of those screwdrivers to open up the case to see if there is anything I can solder back in place... but any tips would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
I'm posting this from my Hermes, so forgive the brief response.

How do you knpw it's the connector if you have not opened up yet?
2
There is a specific thread here with pics, showing the rear speaker connector - that in one guy's case was pushed loose by the stylus.
3
If your rear speaker connectpr is loose just push it back on.
4
Some sound problems can be caused by a faulty/failing speaker.
5
The front speaker has spring contacts that can be bent following a fall. These can be bent back into shape. If the front speaker has failed it can be replaced with a motorola model - there is a thread on this forum.

For a collection of dismantling instructions go to my web site in signature below. Scroll down to the loose stylus/keyboard part of the blog for links and info. A copy of the service manual is also available for download. It includes a dismantling procedure - more detailed than you need!

Hi, Thanks for your response!
Im pretty sure its the usb/power connector thats at fault, as it looks like its popped out of where its suppose to be and when the sound drops, if I try to push it back in/fiddle with it, the sound suddenly comes back on. Anything else I try doesnt work at all.
Im guessing that when the sound drops its because the device 'thinks' the headset has been plugged in, hence why there is no sound.
Thanks again.
Hi,
Has anyone got a quick fix solution for a broken mic? Mine seems to have broken. Others cant hear me at all, if I shout as loud as I can with my hands forming a cone around the mic you can just about make out some noise on the other end. Running htc WM6, hard reset doesnt solve it.
Could it be the usb port is ****ed and it believe an external microphone is connect? The usb port seems "tighter" than usual when I try to insert a usb cable into it.
Unfortunately the USB port has nothing to do with it. The mic is a standalone piece soldered onto the board. Did you spill any water on the phone? It could have even happened from being in your pocket or just condensation forming. Either way, you probably have to replace the MIC which I'm not sure how to do because the way it is soldered onto the board its almost impossible to do yourself, so you will most likely have to send it to HTC.

Well I agree the Mic is well nigh impossible to replace yourself. Although I probably agree the Mic is the problem, I would not 100% rule out the USB port as, if connections are shorted in there, it could replicate the connections made "as if" a handsfree were connected. The USB connection would be a cheaper fix and is more straightforward - however given that companies will charge just to look at it, you might as suggested end up cheaper getting HTC to do it. Prepare though for a tough decision if its a hardware problem because it could mean a m/board replacement. (Touch and go whether you'd be cheaper to replace with a second hand device?)

Any easy way to test if it is the usb port? Its a vodafone branded hermes flashed with htc wm6 (just did it a couple of weeks ago which is a shame now).

Other than visual inspection I cannot think of an easy way and testing would need some comparison data. But maybe someone with a handsfree kit might be able to think of other changes that would be apparent if the handsfree were connected???
Curiously, I dealt with a case yesterday where someones mobile got water / condensation in the mic. The result is that when in a call the other person:
Can only hear a faint noise if you shout very loadly in the mic
But can easily hear a rushing noise if you blow into the Mic.
Is it possible yours got wet?
(by the way despite efforts with a hairdryer it still does not work - may have caused the coil to stick internally once dried?)
Mike
I see what you're saying about a USB short, but that would mean that the person on the other end shouldnt even be able to hear a faint noise when yelling into the MIC because if the USB is in-fact shorted to make it represent that a hands-free is connected, shouldn't the MIC be shut off completely? Either way this situation is the worst you can be in, I repair cell phones and I have never been able to repair a mic due to the way they are mounted, I've had countless RAZRs with broken MICs that I couldnt fix even though you can buy the part. Best of luck though!
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?
Hi, yeasterday I replaced broken mic (incl. charging USB port) and battery on my LGG6+. After that I tried and test if everything is OK and I found that loudspeaker is not working .. I dissassembly and assembly phone after that a few times, I checked every possible reasons for this problem, I gently cleared all connectors between board and mic part (and tried to use also old mic & USB part) .. but without any success.
Maybe it's related (and I'm not really sure, that this part is from LGG6) with this problem, after first dissassembly I found this little peg with sealing ring on my table (in attachement).
The size (lengh) is appr. the same as 11 screws holding plastic cover of board. It seems like screw, but it's a little thicker and without thread. Do you have any idea if it's also part of this phone and if so, where is this peg placed inside the phone? I have absolutely no clue, where is this part from ..

So, please give me any hint how to solve the problem with not working loudspeaker, I'd like to use my phone again :] .. Thanks!
