The loudspeaker in my phone (mytouch 4G slide) stopped working. Therefore the ringer doesn't work. Also I cannot listen to music or videos. Sound works fine through a headset though so I think it just the speaker that went bad or a loose connection. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement speaker? Has anyone had a similar problem and got it fixed?
speaker is like 5$ on ebay and a quick replacement

I tried look it up on ebay but could not find a replacement speaker for the mytouch 4G slide. Do you know if there is a generic speaker I could use? Can you suggest what I should search for (part number, etc)? Any help is really appreciated.
yeah I just did a quick search and didn't see any right now either, I'm sure you could google it though. it is a strange design, held in with adhesive, you could open it up and just make sure it is making good contact. I don't know of a universal option as it is weird, but anything is possible

I'll keep looking. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello,
same happened to me.
Finally I found out that the speaker is the same as many other HTC's, e.g. HTC Sensation.
Just search for "HTC Sensation speaker", or one of their spare parts: "EAS1S181E".
This is how it should look like.
Regards
Just be very careful when you solder in the new speaker. The proximity and light sensors are right next to one of the speaker pads and you can easily ruin one or both with an errant touch of the soldering iron.
Don't ask how I know....
The image I've posted is about the loudspeaker, it isn't necessary to solder anything, speaker isn't soldered, and is at the bottom of the phone. In fact, he only needs to remote the 2 bottom screws, not all.
This is the video I followed to replace my loudspeaker:

It's very easy

Am I supposed to be able to use these as a mic in a call as well? Is there a setting to turn that on? Just plugging them in yields no voice on the other side.
Also can't figure out what the button does.
Help?

im not sure about the mic part but i use it in calls and works perfectly ppl hear me loud and clear ionno if its the phone mic or not...but the button on other hand is basically play/pause button when playing music well atleast it is on cyanogenmod
Can you try putting your phone in your pockets and try it again. I think it picks up the voice from the phone's mic.

If you look at the backside of the button piece on the headphones, there is a small hole and that is a microphone. If its not working correctly you might want to consider bringing it back to where you bought it and seeing about exchanging at the very least the headphones.

yup tried it in my pocket just for ppl who doubted the little hole but yes hes ^ right its a mic
So I have a question. Is there anyone having troubles with their speakers or is it just me? I can't figure out if one of my speakers is out or not. I just got a replacement phone today and yeah not sure what's going on with it. I never had a problem with my first G2X's speakers I'm not even sure if I had ever noticed that one wasn't working

There is only one speaker on the G2X - the grill under the search capacitive button. The other grill is for the microphone I believe.
Thank you to the info.

Did you know if someone is calling you, you can flip your phone around and it will mute the ringtone but it won't decline the call.
Hope this helps someone
Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.
You guys need to read the manual and poke around the settings more.
Did you know if you flip it during a call it will activate the speaker?
Ah, all this fun, and much, much more

Yeh, and there are two tiny holes at the back of the phone, those are the microphones when you talk on loud speaker

Nice feature imho
I use the feature almost everey day, i get a lot of unknown callers

And also I like the fact that when you pick up the phone in your hand the ring volume decreases and doesn't bother others and also when the phone is in you pocket or purse it rings louder with each ring.
really like the HTC subtleties
This flipping thing actually IS a neat feature of HTC Sense. Has anyone experience with this behaviour on custom roms with Sense 3.0 (e.g. Virtuous). Does it still work?
Thx in advance.
(Just S-OFFed & rooted my stock 1.47.401, so I'm actually a little bit eager to wreak some more havoc! )
Are both speakers at the bottom of the g2x supposed to have music coming out of them? On mine it only comes out of the right one.

One is a microphone and one is a speaker.
Pro Tip: If you hold the phone upside down then the speaker will be at the top. This provides a more uplifting sound and also boosts the high notes somewhat.
It does take a little getting used to the inverted image on the screen but eventually the brain adjusts... then it just looks like everyone else's phone is upside down.

That's kind of backwards thinking isn't it?

Can you please post an idiot proof, how to thread on how to prooperly listen to music. Lol It has never bothered me.

I'm pretty sure only one of them is a speaker ...

This is so weird. I just got my G2x today, I thought there was something wrong with it. And i come in "G2x General" and it's the first post on the page.
One mic and one speaker. Here is the illustration from the owner's manual.
A simple search would have found you the answer as this has been discussed many times already.

And leaving this thread with one question that has already been answered alone would have made good sense.
A reply that is both condescending and late serves no purpose.

Well, you can just enable 360 degree rotation in CM7
Nice to see a picture. I thought we have surround sound with 2 speakers.

Calm down bro! the guy did not respond to that post which I replied to days ago until after I made this thread. I honestly don't care about thread count so stop saying that I am boosting it.
all the veterans are always so fiesty. You are mixed with the masses now, it's gonna happen, just get used to it. I did. Dont let the new account fool you, I lost access to my old email and had to make a new one... time for change!
On to the actual topic. I am curious about this as well... I plan on taking the phone apart soon so it would be nice to know what to expect...
It's the mic for the camcorder.

Im sure you are wrong about it being a Mic for the camcorder, it is most likely for noise cancellation

Well, if I'm wrong, why does the recorded audio sound exactly the same if I completely cover the mic on the bottom edge of the phone (the one used for voice calls)?
Edit: I'm sure it's used for noise cancellation too, if that even works - but generally, it doesn't, cause every time I use the phone in a noisy area, the person on the other end can hear everything.

what your saying all the noise cancellation is true however I thought that I remember that if I covered up the mic on the bottom that it did make the video sound quiet, maybe I'm actually wrong
