I recently just bought a used HTC sensation (T-mobile brand) , however being as stupid as I am, i got suckered into buying a deffective device. I accually got somebody else to pick up the phone for me and the person did not notice that the phone had water damage... The void sticker is black? i believe it should be white. And the sticker on the battery and the back of the phone are both red. However, the phone works perfectly except for the speakers... This makes the phone extremely useless, no ringer or notification... The front speaker for calling works and so does the headphone jack, so i was wondering if it was possible to repair the speaker or possibly increase the volume of the front speaker and use it for all sounds. Is there a possible tweak or mod that would allow this? or even an app? I already tried unlocking the phone and installing a custom rom (insertcoin ics) so i know it is not a software problem, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Ur best bet would be to send it into HTC so they can repair ....even tho the phones warranty is voided they still can fix it for a price

Can anybody help please? Anybody has bad to deal with a water damaged HTC sensation. I took the phone apart, tried cleaning the Inside with alcohol and tested the speakers and it seems to work but not with the phone. I'm thinking it is a problem with the motherboard itself.... Anybody have any other ideas?

My vox it's three months old, from one week I started to notice a very disturbing behavior. People are able to hear me but I can''t hear them. It seems like the internal speaker is flawed. If I use the miniUSB head phones it works fine and If I turn on the conference speaker it works too. Otherwise it just doesn''t work anymore. I have soldered directly speaker's wires on the board but the problem it's the same. What can I do?
Please, nobody can help me? I have tried also to add reg key wm6SoundFixRegistryImport but the problem it's the same. I'm sure that other people have this problem.
this seems like a hardware problem which you can get serviced by sending your phone to htc.
No, I can't because I haven't warranty. I'm sure that isn't a hardware problem because I can hear a little rustle.
i m facing exactly same problem as well. spearkerphone works fine but earphone do not worki.. if u find any solution then let me know too...
THe problem it's the speaker, I tried another from a motorala and it work! Where Can I find htc parts?
can u guide me how to open the htc phone to reach earphone speaker u mentioned?

Hi,
I've got a problem with the headphone in. When i connect headphones, it works as it should. The problem is when I disconnect the headphones. The symbol indicating that there are still headphones connected, stays in my status bar. So my H1S thinks my headphones are still connected, which is very annoying because for example, my audio isn't working anymore so I can't hear anyone that's calling me.
So how can I solve this problem? Should I start with a factory restore? Or is this most likely a hardware issue?
Has no one else encountered this issue?
Sounds like your jack may be damaged...either that or some file is whacked....could try a hard reset to test...if problem is still there...then your headphone jack is bad...warranty replacement it.

Had a similar problem on my HTC Legend, where it would think a headset was plugged in even when not. It went away after a few days. Try cleaning the inside of the jack too.
Just plug in your head phones and pull them out a couple of times. If that doesn't work take a paper clip and just rub some of the connectors inside.
Happened on my old tp2

Thanks for the input guys, unfortunately neither the hard reset nor cleaning the jack helped, the problem is still the same. I guess I'll send it back to get it fixed/replaced.

I've got the same problem mate..
Did you manage to find a solution at all??
ONly started happening today.. Im running Trickdroid 5.1
During a call yesterday, I completely lost all sound from my One S. There is absolutely nothing, and yes I have tried the in-call volume! Speaker phone works fine, but obviously I can't just use that. Has anybody had or heard of this problem? Any suggestions I can try? So far, I have reset to factory settings, and updated to the latest RUU, no luck.
If I need to send this in to HTC, I'd appreciate some guidance as to what I need to do (I'm in the UK). Thanks!
Try cleaning out the headphone jack port.
Happens to all phone if it get dirty enough. Hopefully that's the problem with yours and nothing major.

Hmmm no luck with that I'm afraid Headphone jack works fine with headphones in, took them out and gave it as good a clean as I dared, but still the same.
Pretty sure the phone is borked, I've tried everything I can think of. Even bought an app that bypasses the headphone socket, but no joy.
Could anyone give me advice on the best way of getting this repaired by HTC UK?
Just wanted to post to give a massive thumbs up for the HTC UK repair centre. Phone was picked up by UPS on Tuesday, and returned to me today. Not only have they fixed the main issue with the internal speaker, they've also replaced the entire casing of the phone which was starting to chip badly. Basically looks like a brand new phone! Very impressive service
Hi. Keeping to forum rules. Short but to the point. GO!
Have HTC Sensation XE (z715a). My first HTC phone. Android 4.0.3
The problem: The front speaker of the phone (that you place your ear to) does not produce perfectly clear audio of the callers voice when recieving phone calls. Often the audio has a distortion to it best described as vibrations (so a bit like someone speaking through a kazoo). When volume level is at 50% or below there is no problem. Above 50% it starts and of course it worst at 100% volume level. Quite annoying!
Returned the phone to the Telco for repair. They claim to have replaced the speaker however the audio distortion still occurs.
Is this a common problem with just Sensation phones? All HTC phones? Hence should I ask for a new replacement phone or is it just as likely to have this annoying quirk?
Many thanks in advance !
Few months ago I had the same problem. Buy speaker on ebay and change it, it is not dificult, really.

I read it could be the radio or ril that could cause this problem. I'm still searching for a fix for my Sensation on firmware 3.33 and viper Rom, sense 4+
It's a T-Mobile US device radio 11.24A.3504.31M
If anyone knows a repair other than a hardware replacement part please pm me.
I have HTC u11 dual sum European varient... It has issue no sound either through hands-free or speaker on call ringtones videos any kind of sound.... I have already tried firmware restore...

I just splashed my rear glass and since then there is no sound at all from device... When selecting a ringtone it says "unable to play this file".. and what i noticed is that phone reboot itself when reciving a call... From my point it is a hardware issue, but don't know what could it be...
Any suggestion will be appreciated

That's what i am afraid of ... If this chip is on motherboard than i can forget to get repaired in my country... But if it is on the bottom daudghterboard than maybe replacing entire board will fix the problem

speakers earpiece are not the problem problem is with motherboard as no sound handsfree either so location of sound ic on main board is required to be point out in other words the problem area.

No, but phone is working as before, with no sound...i just connected it to pc a few days ago and it booted... I found one resistor broken near the audio chip... So i think the chip is good... I will wait if someone broke the screen in my country and sell the phone for 100-150 bucks??
