internal speaker stopped working - General Questions and Answers

hey guys,
i got a serious problem with the internal speaker of my mytouch 4g slide, it suddenly stopped working. i can't remember whether i installed a special software or updated the rom because it happened some time ago.
at the first time i was pretty shure the internal speaker is just broken and replaced the flexcable with the speaker with a new one from china and tested it before i replaced it - it definetly works. after booting all worked fine except for the internal speaker while phoning
did you ever have this problem befor with another device or do you know a way to test the internal speaker to exclude a software problem?

Problems with front speaker

I have been having some problems with the front speaker lately. Most of the time when I get an incoming call or make a call no sound comes through the front speaker and have to put the loudspeaker on to hear anything. The weird part is that from time to time it works fine usually after using the wired headphones. Oh an the volume is set to max.
Has anyone else had the same problems? How to fix this? could it be that I changed some settings inadvertantly?

Mine did not work at all any more. I even did a hard reset; no change. I have now sent it back to HTC for repairs.

Same here
Mine doesn't work at all.
Wow, I guess we should start a poll where people would select which problems they are experiencing:
1. Wi-Fi
2. BT
3. Front earphone
4. Radio
5. Bad painting
6. Shutting down suddenly
7. None of the above
More than one could be chosen... That would ballpark the size of the problem. Maybe some production batches were messed up due to the hurry from Qualcomm to deliver the already delayed parts? Maybe HTC came to that point where the brand is far larger than is the company's capacity of growing (especially in terms of QA)...

I have the same problem. The wired is that it ocassionally works. Another problem is that FM not always working. I bought the device in German. But now I'm in China. Any one knows how to fix? I don't know how to disassemble it. But I'm curious, maybe some pin is loose?
Same for me, the front speaker didn't work for 48 hours and then worked again I don't even know how
No sound speaker htc touch
I have the same problem, no sound from de phone, when switching to handsfree mode i hear de caller
Hello,
I have the same problem and found that this happened when starting an application that uses only rear speaker or hands free speaker (e.g. Tom Tom, Compe Pocket, etc.)
And the problem is not of that application, the problem is in the phone application of the cruise. I think that these applications mute or power off the front speaker and the phone application don´t activate it.
I have found a solution to this. When making or receiving a call, press many times speaker or hands free button on display and after many times, speaker works again.
Now, I am looking for a new phone application, in order to quit HTC application. Somebody knows a good phone application to use in Cruise????
Many thanks in advance.
My device has been returned today.
Have not had a chance to test it. Will do so when I get home tonight (in 8 hours). I will let you all know if it has been resolved.
As a remark to fran_mad's post; In my case, even after a FULL HARD reset, the speaker did not work.
I therefore do not think it was caused by a software problem.
Kind regards,
Robin

Motherboard has been replaced and all works OK again.
Good and quick service from HTC (free pick-up and delivery within one day)
I am still not sure if I like this one better then my good old sleek, slim and sexy Touch.
no sound from phone speaker
fran_mad's solution did not work for me.
I am affraid it's a hardware thing with me too?
I checked volume, did soft and hard resets (clear storage) but frontside speaker does not work!
HTC technical Support is going to collect my phone tomorrow. I will post my proceedings...
frontside speaker repaired
HTC Techsupport repaired my Touch Cruise within a week. Bravo!
See if it keeps working this time!
Same here. Front speaker started to fail a few times. 1 week later it totally stopped. Was repaired by HTC (EuroTwice.be) in 2 weeks.
Front speaker stopped working after 1 month usage - motherboard replaced by htc within 12 days. But now the device shuts down by itself sometimes - will send it to htc again tomorrow - meanwhile i am very disappointed about my Touch Cruise.

Hi
I have problem with the front speaker.
The sound is "blurry" if i put the caller to rear speaker the sound is crystal clear.
So the problem must be in front speaker??
I search the net but i cant find where to get it?
Is somebody have the front speaker from dead Prophet?

just wanna share with others..
my touch cruise experienced this weird problem since yesterday.i've tried fran_mad's method and and its works!! thanx dude! i'm still figuring why the heck this kind of problem happened as i didnt change any setting on my phone.
Sorry for being clueless but what do you guys mean by "front/rear speakers"? I thought there is only one speaker on the back side of the phone and a universal connector for handsfree - earphones+mic?
There are two speakers, one in front and one on the back. My front speaker died and was repaired by htc - new motherboard. Seems to be a known problem...

3.5mm output requires reboot to work again

Sometimes I get to use my 3.5mm output either with headphones or my stereo and it works fine. Then later in the day it will not output through the jack, only the speakerphone. I have to reboot the phone (soft or hard) to get it working again. I haven't seen a pattern leading up to this.
bump, is anybody else experiencing this?
sounds like a linux bug
email google support
Plus One
I have experienceed this on two occasions as well. I hope it is something that can be easily remedied.
I told HTC about this issue while returning my Nexus One for a faulty power button. I'll report back if they leave me any information on it's return.
I am having this issue as well
i have had the issue, rebooting did not help but it started to work again after a week or 2... lol i don t remember
Update: so I had the phone warrantied for a faulty power button a couple of months ago and when I got the phone back (didn't do an exchange) I had a new IMEI number and the headphone jack worked perfectly, until last week. The headphone jack (3.5mm) stopped working. I have done hard resets and the jack still won't work so I am getting an exchange, arriving today.
New phone works good. Tried the old phone one more time after a hard reset and still nothing.

I had this yesterday - thought I was going crzy.
Couldn't see how to fix this - so I reflashed the rom from my Nandroid backup - and its all working just fine now

My gf's N1 is doing the exact same thing. She said it started maybe two weeks ago. She has had the phone since July. Has anyone found a resolution for this? She restarts the phone but that obviously can become a nuisance after while.
Do you not read? It's a short thread. "had the phone warrantied" Your girlfriend must be impressed with your resourcefulness.
I had the same problem... except mine was in reverse. My phone thought it was always in headset mode (like a headset was plugged in).
It wouldn't output any sound unless I turned the speaker on. I could remedy the problem by playing a song and playing with the headphone jack, barely making contact with the ports internals until it played through the normal speaker.
This would work until I rebooted, which then it would think the headset is plugged in again. So basically the jack was flaky.
I had some dust under my bottom left screen too, but they did a warranty exchange and the new one is working perfectly.

External Speaker suddenly stopped working

Hello everyone!
My external speaker suddenly stopped working. So now I cant go handsfree, I dont hear rings of incoming phones, or any sound that comes thru the external speaker.
Funnily the vibration during incoming calls doesnt come either. But it still vibrates while navigating thru menus.
I think a hardware reset might do the trick, but I cant tell before tomorrow, since I need to backup my files first.
Or is there a known bug with latest mango or a htc specific bug?
Okay vibration seems to work as it should, maybe I didnt feel it the first time I tested it.
Just now I had a moment where I heard menu sounds and then I quickly tried to play a ringtone which also came thrru the speakers but as you can guess, it stopped working again...
more update after the hardware reset tomorrow
It may just be the speaker blown out like mine did only 5 weeks after purchase. Not a big deal, the speaker is the same one as HTC EVO so a replacement part is easy to do yourself or through the Phone Carrier store (that has a repair center).
Since replacement mine has been fine since. When it was blown, it still worked, but was painful to listen to.
Ok thx. I will do that. I hoped it was some software error.
Taking my Arrive in today for the same thing. It just blew a few days ago, and any sound coming out of the external speaker just sounds distorted and garbled.

Pull a nandroid and flash a known good ROM like Bulletproof. If the speaker works or not you will have your answer.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
this made my day, yeah!!

No sound at all from the ear speaker :(

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.
Sent from my HTC AMAZE 4G
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
