After I changed my screen on my XT1032 the ear piece doenst work. I replaced it with this but still no joy. The pins for the speaker at installed with the long pins facing the top half of the phone. Speaker phone works fine using speaker phone that how im taking call at the moment.
The connection where the speaker connect on the motherboard looks so basic its hard to imagine that got damaged.
What else can I try?
Thanks bros

The problem that the coil gets separated very easy from the rest of the earpiece.
It's very easy to replace and the orientation doesn't matter, there are pins both up and down, which are interconnected.
All I can think of is that you either got a defective replacement or you damaged it somehow.
You can test it by connecting it to some audio source at very low volume and see if it works at all.

Hallo,
I upgraded my MDA to version 1.12 from Qtek, all works well, but I don't hear the person I call or answer. If I hold the phone (green) button for 2 seconds it switches to the backspeaker and than I can hear the person talk.
Does anybody know how to fix this !!! Help
Try inserting a headphone plug and remove it, this will prolly fix your issue.
can you tell me how to upgrade ?
I already download the mkBigStorage112.nb1 file

No, I plugged in a headphone and pulled out, but still no sound from the front speaker. Rearspeaker and BT headphone works well.
Anybody?
I noticed that the front speaker works when I have no sd card inserted, when I insert the memorycard again I have no sound from the front speaker.
Well by testing if its a software problem or mechanical it looks like it is mechanical, but is it?
Strange ??? Anybody
You would need to do a hard reset and see if the problem persists with no additional programs installed. Backup first though.
Yes, I did all I can do, but the problem is still there. I guess that the SD slot makes conntection with the microfoon or the front unit.
Oke, I screwd my MDA open and I looked how I had to put it back to gether again. When I opend it, I swa that this was not a brtand new MDA but I guess it has been repaired a few times, because I found pices of the seal every where. When I opend the back unit from the front unit my frontspeaker just fell out. So I guess that they forgett to screw this tinny PCB on. After I put it all together again, he works fine. The sound is now comming from the front speaker with or without the SD card inside.
Oke, for all of you don't do this at home unless you are prepared to buy a new one.
colderon,
I also am having the same problem and think it could be a "loose wire" or cruddy slip in the manufacturing. I will attempt the same. Was it just the two screws on the back at the bottom to start, then as it comes apart more of them. Thanks for your help!

Yes, their are two screws on the back pcb. Then their is a small sqaure connector at one site this one can be taken off, no the large connector with their cellotape. Oke now comes the tricky part, their is an other mall pcb, about 2 cm by 1/2 cm. This one has also an connector, but the small pcb/unit is glued to the SD card holder with dubble sided tape. You have to be very carefull an try first getting something between this small pcb and the sd card holder. If you pull the back pcb from the front pcb the connector will brake off and you have to buy an new small pcb. This small pcb is the unit that connects the front speaker and contains the signal leds (poweled, Bluetooth).
If have no clue what this small unit will cost me, but my is also broken. Somehow it works, but the signal leds don't lite.
Ik hope this will help you
I'm in the states and had the same problem, I ended up taking it apart myself and finding 2 things, 1 the speaker was bad, this is the same speaker as the n-gage or nokia 6610 either is available on e-bay. the other was the actual board that carries the audio has a plug on one end and the plug had a lousy solder job, for this you will have to find a local electronics repair shop, and hope they can solder as well as the guy here, since it all is surface mount technology. over all the soldering cost me $20 and the speaker cost me $10
Same problem, no sound this morning.
I remove the SD card, sound came back.
I put the Sd, sound still there.
But when I change the volume, no more sound...
What a #~{#[# bug
I tried to open my Jam 2 times and I quit... I'm afreaid to broke something... Where are the old times that everything had a screw and was so easy to unassemble???
I dont know what happend suddenly the speaker phone stopped working when I Was on speaker phone mode. I restarted the phone and tried all different kinds of ****. Finally I popped open the back camera cover and I could see the speaker. I was playing something on my Windows media and I could not hear anything. The moment I touuched the speaker with the stylus it started playing loudly but the moment I pull the stylus back it stops working. Can some one please explain me what is the problem with my speakers. Do I need to replace them ? if yes then where can I get them replaced in United states.
Yes mate, I had the same problem. I have a HTC Charmer and my speaker died while using tomtom. I openned and discovered the same thing, that touching the speaker causes it to respond again and dies again. Its basically the speaker "moved" too much for its own good and the wire carrying signal to its coil got damaged/broken.
While you could temporarily fix it by trying to glue the broken wire, it may not do any good. And can't solder it as the wire is stuck on the speaker cone surface which is plastic. For a few days mine worked by placing a flexible peice of plastic in such a way that it constantly applied very light pressure on the place where the wire was broken, and the contact was maintained, but obviously such a solution is short lived.
At present I am also looking for where to buy a spare speaker from, but can't help you in this regard as am in UK.
Hope this helps in some way.
Happened to my Prophet. It's currently away for a warranty repair.
Seems like a very common problem.
Well I dropped my OPO into a creek in about 2 feet of water. After being submerged for about 15 minutes I thought it was toast. I put it in the ol' bag of rice for a few days and to my absolute amazement it booted right up and works flawlessly except for one issue.
The loudspeakers are so quiet at full volume you can barely hear them. Earpiece speaker works fine. I popped the back off and took the speaker assembly out and removed one of the two speakers. It looks fine and there is no moisture in it. If I set it on the board contacts at full volume I can barely hear it play.
Do you think a new pair of speakers would fix the issue? Can I test the board outputs to see if its putting out enough juice to run the speakers? Any thoughts or input would greatly be appreciated!
Hey - same happened to me! Except much less water! I put my OPO in a damp pocket after heavy rain (!) and it seemed to be a goner. 2 days later after putting it in a bowl of rice it works fine now, phone speaker and microphone work, only thing not working is the lower/music speakers. Headphones work fine too. Any easy way to replace/fix this? Heard a loud crackling/static noise coming from the speakers after the initial water exposure if that means anything.
I'm another one looking for a solution to this issue.
Anyone found one? Thinking about trying to replace the speakers, but not wanting to faff with that if that isn't the problem.
Word of advice to everyone. Don't drop your phone in the bath!!!
I am in the same situation as well, sent it for speaker replacement and the repair guy showed that even replacing the speaker module will result in low volume output. Nothing can be done unless replacing the motherboard maybe?
I sent it to a local shop, not the service centre by the way.

This happened to me as well. I was biking and crashed, falling into an overflowing ditch, completely drenching my pocket and my OPO inside.
I immediately took it home (my laptop got drenched too ;w; that one's at Asus being fixed) and left it in rice for the rest of the day, only to find that the speaker played, just barely audible at full volume, and the microphone and ear piece worked perfectly fine. I bought replacement speakers shortly afterward and replaced them, but, like kaz93 said, didn't do anything, it was still really quiet. It must be on the logic board or something.
I'm probably just gonna get the Google Pixel when it comes out XD
Speakers are the most sensitive part of this phone. I also had to replace mine after watering the device. You can afford them cheap for just a few bucks on aliexpress and they work perfectly
Yes I've read all the other threads about the other mics yadyada lol
But my external does not work at all I cupped it in my hands while in a BT call put hands to my mouth and yelled... Nothin..!
So I tore into it and was going to do the mod but noticed something odd about where its soldered.
Take a look at these pics and tell me its not soldered in the wrong spot, cause it sure looks like it to me..lol

That looks like an unused header type pin out. If I had to guess it is for 2 usb's and mic. I cannot confirm it your mic is connected to the wrong port, but you can always just insert two wires in the holes to quickly test.
Yeah it looks to be for a ipod control module which my unit doesnt have so I wonder if these are connected somehow & the reason why it doesnt work..
Soooo I guess I'm going to have to bust out the soldering iron.. joy.....
Sooooo I did the mod soldered it to the front mic took the tiny one out reinstalled the radio mic doesnt work at all still !..... Got my daughter to call and nothin not a peep. Said to myself, self you should have started with the easy things beforehand. Hmmmmm took a mic from a old headset plugged it in got her to call as she's standing outside the car lol Ringadingding Helloo....Hi ! WTH !? you can hear me...yep..... sonofa&^$^^%$ !!! it was a faulty external mic all along.....: :laugh::laugh
So guess what I'm doin next lol puttin it all back together the way it was to see if that weird connection it was on actually works uhhhhggg :laugh:
Nexus 5, 6.0.1, rooted
When a call comes in I cannot hear what the caller says unless I turn "speaker" on. Nothing on earphones either.
Suggestions?
Have you tried using a unrooted stock ROM? Checked for loose internal connections? Clogged grill over the earpiece?
Thanks for replying.
Not yet reflashed rom. Grill holes are clean. Earpiece hole seems clear. Removed and put back the loudspeaker several times with no change.
A loose internal connection is a possibility because I recently changed its cracked screen but I'm not sure which specific connection I should check. It looks OK but I may have missed something not knowing where to check. Which connection would be involved in sending a phone call to the loudspeaker?
I don't have the Nexus in front of me so I am going from memory: is the earpiece a single module with contacts on the side? Contacts are clean and making good contact with the logic board? This happened after changing the screen?
Thank you for hanging with me. After I replaced the screen all was fine including sound. But 3-4 days later it happened. The headphone is socket is a small cylindrical piece. It is possible it was not fit in properly. I will take it apart and check.
The loudspeaker piece just seems to screw back in place. Does it have some connection I am forgetting to reconnect?
The earphone piece was fine.
I switched the speaker component from a working phone and that made no difference.
This is a spare phone and I'm leaving on a trip so I'll work more on it when I return at the end of February. Probably restore an earlier nandroid or reflash and see.
Thanks for the advice.
