Hi,
I recently got a secondhand iMate Ultimate 9502 and updated it to the new Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom but I have found after several flashes and hard resets that the main speaker does not work but the actual headset (2.5mm one) and bluetooth car kits and headsets work.
But the actual main speaker does not ! Has anyone encountered this issue and if so any possbile resolutions software wise as I am hoping it is not a hardware issue as the unit is out of warranty.
Any help suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Robbie
were the speakers working before the flashes? if yes, it's possible that your radio needs updating / flashing. if the speakers weren't working even before, then it could be a hardware issue. sometimes the jack interface is dirty so you might have to clean it up. hopefully, as a second hand unit, the jack interface isn't damaged or anything from possible repeated plugs of the headset.
hope that helps
Yep twas working before the flash its very strange but if it is hardware related then I am screwed

perhaps anyone else encountered the same issue - i don't know any further with this:
after flashing the o2 xda mini german with the bigstorage rom from: ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/BigStorage_ROMs/DE_O2_1.12.01.zip
via sd/boot-method the speaker doesn't seem to work anymore correct.
it seems like the speaker on the back of the magician is only working when a call comes in, but not for alerts, sounds or a mp3player like mortplayer or wmplayer.
also the speaker and the mic at the front of the mini aren't working.
so i flashed the device again with the original rom, but it isn't working anymore, also not with all the other available roms.
so i tried to adjust the preamp with no success.
let's see if i wake up tomorrow without a bell :roll:
I believe you have a hardware problem and has nothing to do with the ROM. There are threads and a PDF file showing how to dismantle and fix the speaker contact.
hmm i don't think so - why should it play the ring sound when someone calls? i also checked if it is the speaker on the back side which is playing the ring sounds - and: yes - it's the one on the back side
No sounds after just 6 months of use on my O2 Xda II mini!
Hi lindsche:
I also have the same problem - no sound coming out of my O2 Xda II mini EXCEPT for the ringtone for incoming calls. I have not installed any new software on my device and I have only had and used this device for 6 months! The only way I can hear anything from the device (including phone conversations) is through the use of the audio ear phones. I have been in contact with O2 Technical Support from the Asia Pacific Region (where my device was purchased) who have been suggesting all kinds of different resets stuff to no avail thus far.
By the way, where is the speaker located on this device??
Any advice would be much appreciated.
yeah, i think its hardware too, i had the same experiance with my wallaby (siemens sx56). The problem was from the audio jack. There is a small switch inside the jack that stuck so the device thinks that you are using handsfree. i tried to plug and unplug it but it make the problem worst. if been looking for the jack parts everywhere but couldnt find one. so when i got my new magician, i always plug and unplug the handsfree very very very carefully.
to upcityhighroller and lindsche: i believe your problem is in your audio jack. if you able to hear the ringtone, but not able to hear phone conversation and other sound, that means your phone thinks you are using the handsfree. best think you can do is check inside the jack with flashlight , make sure its clean and nothing stuck inside.
as per someone else's advice found in this forum, i tapped the device against my palm and the sound came back! i'm very happy EXCEPT now my power button won't work!! my temporary solution is to unlock the buttons so that I can turn on the device using any of the other buttons but now I also have NO other way to shut the device down! (I'm force to wait for 2 minutes of inactivity before it shuts down.)
Any suggestions??
Many thanks!
Not able to pick a phone call using handsfree ear phone.
Hi !
Bought O2 XDA mini, a couple of weeks ago....
I am not able to pick any call when handsfree is connected to O2 mini. I can the hear the ringing tone and listen MP3 too using the handsfree....
I have tried the handsfree on another O2 mini phone and is working absolutely fine...
I called the O2 service center and they asked me to do hard reset....
If it still does not work, they have asked me to give it to service center for repair...
I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problem... If so, what is the resolution.??
kindly share your views... thanks.

hey i had a simialr problem.......even i hard resetted but the problem persisted.....but when i charged my battery it worked fine...i guess our phone doesnt accept calls if the battery is below 20%
I was desperatly searching the net for a solution and did what you guys were talking about and tried cleaning the headphone jack, i recommend using an air compressor and while u have music playin in media player just gently blow air into the jack, and if that doesn't work try a little more air, the air seemed to clean most of the dust and whatnot that had clogged it, i just had to give it some firm but gentle taps with my palm and and it works fine now. Releived, as i was just about to buy a second hand replacement
Have the same problem with my Mini.
Couldnt hear and be heard during calls, brought the phone to the service center,
they replaced the hardware yet in the end they couldnt figure out whats wrong.
Im using 1.12 right now do you think it would help if i upgrade or downgrade my ROM?
Need your inputs on this guys!
Thanks in advance.
Anyone else have this problem, or ever hear of it?
The volume is all the way up, no sounds, no annoying xda beeps, not a thing. And the problem occured right around installing Pocketmusic. So, I uninstalled it. Still no sound. I contacted O2 support in Australia (QLD), and did a hard reset over the phone, and still no audio from the handset speaker or rear speakers. Sound is output fine from the handsfree jack, just not at all through either speaker. So the operator suggested it was a hardware fault, and to send it to them.
Thus why im here (apart from learning more things I can do with the phone!), has anyone had this problem before? Is there a way to fix it without having it mailed away for eternity? I'm gutted that my magic little piece of hardware so easily is faulty....
Specs:
Phone is O2 XDA II mini, ROM: 1.12.00. Its only 3 months old!
Thanks guys..

Hi there everybody,
First of all, I'd just like to point out that I'm new to this forum, a friend of mine referred me to here.
I have a Tornado SPV C600, which as of today, is running WM6 Platinum Edition 5.2.1711.18165.0.5.0 SP1 by NiTroGen.
On with the problem, a couple of weeks ago my ipod died. Again.... So this time I decided to put some music on my C600. 3 days later, the headphone jack got pulled out of the socket when I put the phone back into my pocket after choosing a track. Since then, whenever somebody has called me, or I've called somebody, no sound comes out of the earpiece on the phone itself. The only way I can hear what's going on is by plugging the handsfree headset back into the bottom.
The same issue occurs when using HTC Audio Manager/WMP to play music through the phone's speaker....I have to use the headphones again.
However, the phone does seem to be playing small sounds like the annoying jingle when I receive a text. Which leads me to believe that it is a software issue rather than a hardware issue.
Has anybody ever had this problem? Could anyone point me in a direction?
Thanks,
Bassmad
You've damaged the jack. Probably the solder points where the jack connects to the board, or possibly the spring-like part inside the jack which acts like a switch.
Go to the Modaco forums for disassembly instructions and follow the guide to open yours. Take a good look at the jack; if it's loose, see if you know anyone good enough to resolder it for you.
i have same problem before 2 week and i try plugin hardly my earphone several time.and solved it

You probably loosened the stuck springy part or pushed the part back into the board.
if the handsfree is connected i can hear anyone who calls and they can hear me... if i remove it... no would both ways and no speaker either.
how can i solve this... is there someway i can disable the handsfree function by software and enable it whenever i need it?

hi and welcome to the forum.

Cheers

tried the radio upgrade
i tried the radio upgrade, still the same thing happens..
does anyone know which part of the hardware could be faulty or if any of the soldering was broken inside createing an open circuit somewhere.
Warm_ice
Its hardware!!
HI man!!
Im electronic technician, check your speaker with ohmeter, must be continuity (betwen 0 ohm and .300ohm) also check missplaced,unsolded or broken components in mother board and interfaz board (conection speaker board). If the speaker measure good and no missplaced components,,,sorry man the "Audio Codec Chip controller" are damaged
Sound Problem Too
Hi AIN1 i think u may help me too with an idea, My Imate Jasjar has a sound proplem; it stay with no sound all the time and sounds only when i tap/hit a little on front left speaker, i opened it up and removed the motherboard but i failled to find the loose part??? Pls help.
yeah
You haven`t sound in all of three speakers of your UNI??? (Two speakers on front and the speaker of phone?) this is bad you will need to fix the mother board, your last chance is: blow hard in the audio jack conector may be is in short with a metal residue from pin of handsfree or the internal pins of the jack conector are damaged. I think it is the problem, fin a reposal part to change it, go to a technical repairment for celular phones, may be need to adapt a similar or diferent part to fix it. Now Im sure is the jack conector check it plis.
When someone call you , does the device ring normally or still no sound , if so you have a little a problem with audio jack . I can explain after your reply .. sorry for bad english
sound problem fixed
ok... after the sound problem... it started giving me a "no sim found/detected" error
i got it fixed at an i-mate technician he replaced the handsfree socket and the controller IC ... presto... its running wild now less than 30$ to fix

So, I ordered OnePlus One from the Swappa Boneyard for $185US. The only issue that was advertised was that the stereo speakers were not working and had been replaced, but still didn't function. I can hear media and call audio through the ear piece, but I am stuck using headphones and a Bluetooth speaker for an actually audible media audio experience.
Until recently, I owned another OnePlus One that encountered the dreaded sim card slot failure. The motherboard isn't modular, so replacement of it is was possible. But, it had 100% working speakers.
I played Dr. Frankenstein and swapped the motherboards in hopes of having a fully functional device. Unfortunately, the sound still does not work.
My initial conclusion was that the speaker I/O on the motherboard was faulty, but now I am seeing others with the same issue (rerouting of stereo speaker audio through the earpiece or having no media audio at all).
I have tried using Soundabout and Clean Master to clean up any residual files, flashing OxygenOS, and have even switched ROMs several times (clean installs, of course). But with no luck.
Obviously, the warranty is void now. So I'm turning to my fellow XDA hackers and OPO users who may have had experience with the same issue for some tips.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
With love,
MikeCriggs
Hello,
Try flashing *fastboot* images of CM11S 44S version and troubleshoot your issue on it or you can flash ColorOS images
I found similar thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/speakers-t2875100

I already saw that thread and it wasn't too helpful for me. I will, however, fastboot flash back to CM11S and see if that makes any difference. It may not work, but it can't hurt. Thank you for the suggestion.

Mike, did you ever get your speakers working? I'm having the exact same symptoms. No sound from the speakers but wired headset and Bluetooth headset both work. Flash to LineageOS made no difference. I replaced the speaker module but it made no difference. I'm guessing it's either the motherboard or the flex cable from the M/B to the speakers module. I don't have another flex cable to swap however.
