Galaxy S Advance speaker stopped working - General Questions and Answers

This problem started happening two days ago, first i had some sound and cracking noise. Then it went dead. Strange thing is that sound works for a couple of seconds if I suck it(literally lol). So is there any way i can fix it myself before going to the service centre?

Sound not working

Hi,
Up until a few days ago the sound on my fuze was working fine. By sound I mean the speaker which controls the ringtone and video sound. The rest of the phone is working just fine.
I dunno if someone else has had this problem or if maybe it might be some hardware problem. Sometimes after a soft reset the sound comes back but then it goes away, and now its not coming back even after a reset.
Could be a hardware issue. I experienced the same issue. I recently returned my handset(still under thirty day warranty).

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.

The fact that this problem started occurring after being dropped in water should tell you that it's a hardware problem.

S7 Earpiece not working

The earpiece stopped working the other day out of nowhere... I have not dropped the phone, or gotten it wet at all (not that it should matter!) but it no longer plays sound out of the earpiece... Anyone else experiencing this issue? It makes it extremely difficult to be on the phone since I usually talk with the phone to my ear. I have made sure that the call volume was all the way up, so it doesn't seem like a volume issue either.
Any troubleshooting advice, other than making calls and seeing if it starts working?
Same problem with earpiece not working
Did you find a solution to this problem. I've just purchased the S7 and have discovered earpiece not working. Speaker works but not the earpiece nor headphone jack. Probably going to return under warranty but would be helpful if a known solution!
Hi,
did you find out what to do or is it just to send it to a technician?
mine is three days old and doesn't work from day one ...
Sorry for delay. No I didnt find a solution. I took it back to Samsung and they exchanged the handset under warranty. Goodluck.

In call speaker (earpiece) stopped working, replacing the module didn't fix it

Hello everyone,
The phone is a leeco x526 bought from banggood couple of years ago
Suddenly the in call speaker stopped working
I went on and bought a couple of earpiece module replacement from aliexpress,
I've disassembled the phone and replaced it, but did not solve the problem: still no sound from the in call speaker.... tried both the earpieces I bought
All the rest is working fine, including the loudspeker on the bottom.
PS. I've also tried reflashing the rom (even the stock one)
I don't know what to try next, hoping some guru around here can help me
I'm almost tempted to try the oven trick, but I'll wait a few days to see if anyone can gives me some other idea

Can you upload photos?
Perhaps the connection of the replacement speaker is weak?
Or maybe the contacts on the main board a little loose
Pictures would be helpful
Thanks for the answers.
I'm not sure if it's Hardware or Software, but I think it's hardware since when it stopped working it didn't had any update/rom flash/etc
I've tried to clean the contacts on the pcb
The earpice is not misplaced cause it's forced in the right position by the black plastic cover that sits over the pcb
Here's a pic, sorry for the weird quality:
I've tested the 2 earpieces that came from aliexpress with a multimeter in "continuity mode" and for both the value is around 30, I think they are ok.
I don't know if there's a way to test with the multimeter those 2 points on the pcb where the earpiece should sit.
Well I guess I'll give the oven trick it's chance next weekend, then I'll toss it away or use it as a car gps
