[Q] OMG... Speaker went out QQ...

Okay, made another thread earlier about flashing etc, but to my surprise during the whole process of going through the flashes I went through and near-bricks and hair rips... MY SPEAKERS NEVER WORKED AFTER FLASH!
I remember they worked because I used speaker during a few calls and even listened to all the ringtones the phone shipped with before I started to flash and overclock it. You name it I tried it. I used Odin to restore to factory rom, unrooted the phone, and fixed permissions just in case. I honestly can't remember where during the flash it decided to stop working so I dunno if I just encountered a bug that's even haunting me through even the stock rom.
Basically it's stock now and still doing it. Earpiece works just fine and if I use a headset I can hear the audio through it just fine as well. Since it's literally one day old I may just setup an RMA and get a fresh one... dunno yet.
Any help or experience with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

No ideas?

You drop your phone? Or toss it onto the bed or pillow? Mine did the same thing twice and I had to hit the back onto my palm to reseat the speaker or reseat the connector.

Nope, it was on a flat surface the whole time. I also tried hitting the speaker and poking at it to get some sound going, just randomly died. Didn't makes any distortions or anything or even crackles either.

[Q] EAR speaker broken[no sound]

oke,so my ear speaker has no sound while calling.
and i dont know if there is any other way of testing it.(all music ect ect go's trugh back speaker)
so im geusing its broken.
so my question is. where can i get a new one?(speaker part)
or is there a way to test it to see if it stil works.

You sure it's not in silent mode? Sorry, but it has to be asked.

It could be a lose connection or just went bad. I had same problem but with rear speaker id just hit it on the palm of my hand a few times and would start working
eventually stopped working all together so i took apart cleaned connections and reseated to the mainboard but no go so i sent back to Samsung
You can try to order the part but you will have to desolder the speaker off the cable becasue the earpiece and rear speaker are two separate parts for some reason
so when you order the new piece it wont come with the rear speaker so you will have to solder that back on...this is why i sent to Samsung didn't want to deal with soldering plus phone was under warranty so
this is the whole assembly (impossible to find online to purchase)

this is what you want
this is the rear speaker you have to desolder off and onto new cable
if under warranty and if definitely defective i would send back if under warrenty

[Q] Vibration issues?

Hi, I've been noticing this problem really from Day 1 with the Nexus S..the vibration is not smooth.
When placed on a table and if I get a call or message, the vibration motor seems like it's damaged and will not give me a 'smooth' vibration, rather a wavy one, which sounds bad.
Is this a common problem, or am I the only one with it? Any quick fix?

It's caused by friction between the phone vibrating against the hard surface of the table. If you put it in water, which has less friction than solid objects, the vibration will be smoother, although the phone will die due to the water, so try it on a pillow or soft mattress instead.

It is smooth if I'm holding it or something, but compared to other phones (ie iPhone), when placed on a table, mine is much more wavy and less smooth.

Might simply be because of the type of motor used.

Nexus S
Just looking at how both works, you'll understand why the Nexus S one creates more movement as opposed to the iPhone one.
Without being able to see it or hear it ourselves it's kinda hard to judge if it's normal anyway.

That pretty much answered it, my Sony Xperia Play use the iPhone one.

Thanks. But just tell me, when your NS vibrates (you can test it right now at this moment) from a call or message on a table, is it SMOOTH/STREAMLINED, or can you notice that wavy pattern like it's shaking, and sounds bad? It's not a loudness issue, it's how it vibrates, and I have had this rant since day one haha.

[Q] Anyone sorted out the horrible white ear piece?

So... i have the white version but absolutely hate the white ear piece grill.... tempted to colour it in with a permanent marker, anyone given it a go?!

Yup, best mod yet. lol Sharpie took care of it pretty easily, two or three applications. Don't miss the white.

Wicked!!! And it didnt leave a purple tint ay all?

Also did you have to pin price the grill? Seems to have clogged up some of the holes.

I just used a thin slice of charcoal antistatic packaging foam. Makes it look level and keeps stuff out. I used nail clippers to trim it just so.

Not to knock the opinions here but I like the white. At a quick glance, I can always tell which side is up.
