I came to sell my Fuze, and the new owner returned the phone because apparently the rear speaker (ringtones, music, hands-free) isn't working. I did a hard reset, flashed a new ROM, reflashed HardSPL, and nothing. So I changed the internal speaker, and nothing. I tested both the old and new speakers, and i did get a resistance across them so they aint blown. Unfortunately, I just ran out of warranty 3 weeks ago, and i don't want to pay $100s from HTC's warranty service.
Has anyone had this problem before? I know the source of the problem might be in the logic board (looked at leaked service manual). Does anybody know a specific way to further test the source of the problem, and maybe direct me in the path of purchasing the parts for it?
Thanks a lot
I had a similar problem and the HTC service centre had to change the speaker and the mother board ( luckily it was still under warranty)
I had the same problem. Changed the speaker but didn't work. A friend of mine disassembled the phone, couldn't fix it, when he assembled it, it worked. His guess was a bad connection in the electrical circuit. There is a metal plate below the speaker with multiple circuits. He said the problem was there. The other option is busted amplifier, which means either a new motherboard or a new phone. My friend had an idea about fixing the electrical circuit before the phone magically worked. If you wish I can ask him what he had in mind as I'm no good at disassembling phones
Yeah, that'd be awesome if you could get some info. Otherwise, the phone is worthless :\
You're talking about the speaker that's glued into the back housing, right? I took apart my phone to replace the LCD and ended up mangling the connector for that speaker. The wires broke and I ran over it with my office chair. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to re-seat properly. It would plug in, but still wouldn't work. I finally just soldered the wires directly to the two tiny round contacts just in front of the connector and it worked. I don't know of a good way off the top of my head to test the output, but if you have a connection problem, that's one way to fix it.

Hallo,
I upgraded my MDA to version 1.12 from Qtek, all works well, but I don't hear the person I call or answer. If I hold the phone (green) button for 2 seconds it switches to the backspeaker and than I can hear the person talk.
Does anybody know how to fix this !!! Help
Try inserting a headphone plug and remove it, this will prolly fix your issue.
can you tell me how to upgrade ?
I already download the mkBigStorage112.nb1 file

No, I plugged in a headphone and pulled out, but still no sound from the front speaker. Rearspeaker and BT headphone works well.
Anybody?
I noticed that the front speaker works when I have no sd card inserted, when I insert the memorycard again I have no sound from the front speaker.
Well by testing if its a software problem or mechanical it looks like it is mechanical, but is it?
Strange ??? Anybody
You would need to do a hard reset and see if the problem persists with no additional programs installed. Backup first though.
Yes, I did all I can do, but the problem is still there. I guess that the SD slot makes conntection with the microfoon or the front unit.
Oke, I screwd my MDA open and I looked how I had to put it back to gether again. When I opend it, I swa that this was not a brtand new MDA but I guess it has been repaired a few times, because I found pices of the seal every where. When I opend the back unit from the front unit my frontspeaker just fell out. So I guess that they forgett to screw this tinny PCB on. After I put it all together again, he works fine. The sound is now comming from the front speaker with or without the SD card inside.
Oke, for all of you don't do this at home unless you are prepared to buy a new one.
colderon,
I also am having the same problem and think it could be a "loose wire" or cruddy slip in the manufacturing. I will attempt the same. Was it just the two screws on the back at the bottom to start, then as it comes apart more of them. Thanks for your help!

Yes, their are two screws on the back pcb. Then their is a small sqaure connector at one site this one can be taken off, no the large connector with their cellotape. Oke now comes the tricky part, their is an other mall pcb, about 2 cm by 1/2 cm. This one has also an connector, but the small pcb/unit is glued to the SD card holder with dubble sided tape. You have to be very carefull an try first getting something between this small pcb and the sd card holder. If you pull the back pcb from the front pcb the connector will brake off and you have to buy an new small pcb. This small pcb is the unit that connects the front speaker and contains the signal leds (poweled, Bluetooth).
If have no clue what this small unit will cost me, but my is also broken. Somehow it works, but the signal leds don't lite.
Ik hope this will help you
I'm in the states and had the same problem, I ended up taking it apart myself and finding 2 things, 1 the speaker was bad, this is the same speaker as the n-gage or nokia 6610 either is available on e-bay. the other was the actual board that carries the audio has a plug on one end and the plug had a lousy solder job, for this you will have to find a local electronics repair shop, and hope they can solder as well as the guy here, since it all is surface mount technology. over all the soldering cost me $20 and the speaker cost me $10
Same problem, no sound this morning.
I remove the SD card, sound came back.
I put the Sd, sound still there.
But when I change the volume, no more sound...
What a #~{#[# bug
I tried to open my Jam 2 times and I quit... I'm afreaid to broke something... Where are the old times that everything had a screw and was so easy to unassemble???
I dont know what happend suddenly the speaker phone stopped working when I Was on speaker phone mode. I restarted the phone and tried all different kinds of ****. Finally I popped open the back camera cover and I could see the speaker. I was playing something on my Windows media and I could not hear anything. The moment I touuched the speaker with the stylus it started playing loudly but the moment I pull the stylus back it stops working. Can some one please explain me what is the problem with my speakers. Do I need to replace them ? if yes then where can I get them replaced in United states.
Yes mate, I had the same problem. I have a HTC Charmer and my speaker died while using tomtom. I openned and discovered the same thing, that touching the speaker causes it to respond again and dies again. Its basically the speaker "moved" too much for its own good and the wire carrying signal to its coil got damaged/broken.
While you could temporarily fix it by trying to glue the broken wire, it may not do any good. And can't solder it as the wire is stuck on the speaker cone surface which is plastic. For a few days mine worked by placing a flexible peice of plastic in such a way that it constantly applied very light pressure on the place where the wire was broken, and the contact was maintained, but obviously such a solution is short lived.
At present I am also looking for where to buy a spare speaker from, but can't help you in this regard as am in UK.
Hope this helps in some way.
Happened to my Prophet. It's currently away for a warranty repair.
Seems like a very common problem.
Hi Everyone,
This is my first time posting as I am normally pretty good at googling solutions. But this time I am pretty stumped!
I brought an Nexus S i9023 and the speaker on it was faulty. It worked but it hissed and popped and was extremely quiet. Sounded like a dodgy connection more than anything. If you put pressure in the right place it would work for a few seconds.
Hence I decided to go and buy a replacement. I brought the replacement speaker with a new lead on it too from Aliexpress.
It arrived promptly and well packaged. It was obviously brand new too as the flex had not been bent.
I fitted this today but it doesn't work. nothing not a sound.
I put the old one back in and low and behold its hissing and making noises as per usual.
Can anyone tell me if I am missing anything here? Its definitely the right part, It fitted perfectly too.
Massively stumped and if anyone could suggest anything it would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot think of anything else than to refit the new one and double check the connections...
if you've got a multimeter, measure the resistance (Ohms) across the terminals and compare to the old one, it should give you
a reading of a few Ohms - measure the readings with the speakers not connected to the board - that way you can deduce
if the "new" speaker is in fact good or not

Thank you very much for the advice, my situation has gone from bad to considerably worse! So, I had the original which was quiet making funny noises and then the new replacement which wasn't doing anything. So I decided that perhaps it was just the speaker and decided to solder the new speaker to the old flex and see if I was in business.... exactly the same issue sound was working but very quiet and fading in and out and hissing etc. Hence I thought right then, got this one sorted its the flex. Back to the iron, I soldered the original speaker which I knew was working to the new flex, but still no sound tried a few times as I was worried that the connection from the new flex to the speaker wasn't quite solid enough.
This is where things got....well....rather gutting! The phone isn't turning on anymore. I get the screen light up for a split second, then go dark again. Tried to do all the usual things such as removing battery, tried to get it into boot mode (holding sound up and power), I get nothing when plugged into pc, nothing when plugged into the charger. I am worried that when soldering the speaker I could have bridged the positive and negative terminals and hence made it short. Would this blow my motherboard up? Is that even possible?
I am now at a complete loss what to do now, and before I do any more damage, I thought I would consult the experts. I should also say that it is completely stock and hasn't been rooted or anything along those lines.
Any help, advice, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Again thank you gunner for your advice it is greatly appreciated, but my situation is rather worse now and I think I have a rather expensive paperweight on my hands.
I'm sorry things have gone to worse mate I assume you've been doing the soldering with no power to the phone!?
If you're suspecting you may have shorted the speaker, I think its a good idea to check that! I suggest to desolder, clean and resolder.
Put some soldering flux if you have any as those little flex things are sometimes a pain to get them attached.
I'm not familiar with the NS circuitry but I reckon a shorted speaker would not result in blowing the whole board! Before assembling
everything back again, check whether there are any tiny bits of solder that may have stayed on the board or to the components.
Clean around the soldered area carefully.
Also, you might want to check if the phone powers up with no speaker attached at all. You might be having another issue as to why its
not turning on.
Good luck and hope you can have it back up and running again mate!
A week ago the audio on the left side of any earphone I plugged into my xiaomi mi4 started to crackle.
After a week there is no sound at all anymore, unless I push the jack connector sitting in the phone to the front it is completely fine. When I release my finger the sound on the left side is completely gone. At first I thought it might be a software problem but after this I think it's something with the audio jack inside the phone. I found the part on aliexpress and I think it's worth a try. I think it must be soldered on the motherboard though. I can't really find any similar threads on forums about the mi4 so I think it's not a common problem with this phone. Can anyone help me out or push me in the right direction. Thanks.
I cannot open my Mi4 right now but you can always open yours, just be careful, you won't break anything. Be careful removing screws and any part and you'll see the flex. It's not hard as it sounds
I got the exact same problame. Did you manage to solve it somehow ?
Hello,
I recently tried to replace...well...basically everything on my S6 edge. It was severely damaged, and i've been wanting to learn how to repair phones for a while now. Anyways, the phone's speaker is no longer working. I've bought two speakers and tried both of them and neither fixed the issue. I've tried resetting and wiping the cache as well. I've also tried installing the default ROM (i cant remember the program, but it's the most known one out there). I've tried everything that I know of and it still doesn't work.
If this is needed, I go to google music app thats default on there and try to play "over the horizon" song. No sound.
I've replaced this on the phone:
Motherboard
LCD
Battery
2x Speakers
Thanks
Replaced the motherboard, and no sound? That's impossible, unless the replaced motherboard is damaged, too.
There's a speaker controller on the bottom side of the motherboard, it's covered, and as far as I know, it can't be damaged easily.
The speaker has two connectors that needs to be correctly connected. Unless you mistaken it, there's no way the speaker won't work.
