Strangest thing. I woke up one day and all of a sudden my external speaker had stopped working. I tried pulling battery, I tried uninstalling the last couple of apps I had installed. I was currently running aospX BR2 from Exitzs and so I flashed a nandroid from before I installed that a week or so ago. Still nothing. I finally got my hands on a pair of headphones and tested them. They worked fine. So I figured I had a hardware failure on my hands and started looking around at how to take apart the phone and replace the speaker. Well I realized I don't have a T5 to remove the housing screws so after pulling the battery and I tried something on a hunch. I pressed very carefully on the housing around the speaker area itself thinking that it might have come loose. Placed the battery back in and booted the phone. WOOHOO!! I had sound. I then flashed the nandroid of BR2 to get back where I was and still sound was working.
I got my phone from my uncle he just bought at second hand and no sound. I gotta try this. Thanks a lot. :thumbup:

springs.
The speaker has a couple of springs attached to the board. Those things are not soldered and if the speaker is loose, you will lost sound.
You can cay buy new speakers or try reseating the speaker.

OK I dropped my Nexus-S in the sink doing dishes this morning I grabbed it lightning quick out of the sunk which was not filled up. It did get the phone wet but inky fir one second. I took it apart to sit dry for an hour.
So I turn it on and it actually worked. But the headphone icon is in the notification bar. I never used headphones on this phone.
And watched a uTube video and there was no sound probably because headphone icon on ?
Any tips for phones that fell in the drink ?

I would dismantle the device, put it in rice, let it rest there for like 3 days to a week w/o powering it on.
If your unlucky contacts on the headphone jack (or worse parts) are corroded, have to exchange them then or try plugging in/out a headphone several times.

I ran GPS and a youtube video for an hour straight to help warm it up and dry off the phone, and strangely it works 99% perfectly, only thing that is ****ed up is the speaker for media is low and garbled and bluetooth doesn't seem to work now, other than that it works normally.
I have heard of that before, put inside rice. But I need my phone for business all day, can't be out of a phone for a day, let alone three, would kill me.
Worse case I look on Craigslist for a cheap Nexus-S 4G, or find a deal on some other new phone ?

Hello!
Last night my Nexus S fell into a cup of water. It was only the bottom part where the USB port and Mic is. It was for a quick second.
Later that night I made a phone call just fine no problems. Later I played around installing ROMs here and there. I went back to stock using the google images (att version).
This morning when I tried calling, the other person could not hear me. I tested this using using my moms phone and it is nothing no sound whatsover. I tried reinstalling the stock image but nothing.
Is my Mic broken??
Yeah, probably. You shouldnt use your phone if something like this happes. You should turn off the phone and remove battery, let the phone dry few days.

So yesterday, while I was getting out of my car, I dropped my Nexus 5 into a puddle of water, about 1-3 inches deep. I immediately picked it up, dried it and all and it worked fine. One problem though was that it was behaving as if I had a headset connected to it and I couldn't hear any sound from the speaker at the bottom. Eventually, I stuck a piece of thin tissue and cleaned out any excess water in there and booted it off and back on and it worked like a charm. Now my one problem is that the speaker sounds muffled. Is there a way that maybe I can fix this?
Stick in a bag of rice for two days, don't turn it on. You're lucky it isn't fried already
My speaker just broke. Was speaking via skype(via speaker) and it suddenly went off. Flashed a new Rom(mahdi 2.9) , it didn't work, than restored back to stock(4.4.4 with root) and after a while it started working again, after some minutes it went off again, and it doesn't want to work again. I don't know what's the problem. Can some1 give some tips, answers. Btw, today i dropped it from my pocket on wooden floor.(first drop), my nexus 5 is 6 months old. nothing scratched or shattered, everything is ok , but what's up with the speaker?(but the sound through headphones is working).
Hi all, I am suddenly experiencing some problems to the speaker (but not only...), after something about half a year without any problems.
A couple of day ago (without any software updates or anything) after switching on the phone the external speaker was not work anymore, and neither the microphone; but, by inserting earphones, the mic starts working again.
But the most strange thing is that when the phone is off (and only when it's off), I hear something like a white noise from the speakers....
And moreover, the battery now lasts half than before, without any apparent reason; last but not least, the phone does reboot at least once a day.
Until a couple of days ago, I did not have ANY of the above problems, all working perfectly.
Can be a now defective speaker the reason for all this unexpected problems, including the battery draining?
Or maybe some other defective connections?
May I try to clean some connectors and/or change the speaker?
Or the speaker is just an "effect" of another worse hardware damage (motherboard??)
Thanks
Davide
I have this, my speakers work if the back cover is pressed just over half way up to the left. I keep my phone in my back pocket, so sitting on it has depressed the connection. I need a new back cover.

I read around that other people had problems with speakers that solve by pressing the back cover, but does not work for me...
But are you also experiencing issues related to microphone and/or battery?
