So I've been using the Nexus S for a while now(about 3 months). And the other day, after I plugged in the headphones to listen to music, the external speaker stopped working after I unplugged them.
It worked intermittently afterwards but then stopped all together.
I was wondering if anyone else experienced this same issue and if there is a fix for it other than sending my phone back to Samsung for a repair.
I think it's got to be a short in the headphone jack or something sticking since it was intermittent. That's the only thing I can think of since it hasn't been dropped at all.
Any help or a link to the rear speaker module part so I can do a direct replacement would be great.
Thanks in advance folks!
Have you tried plugging the headphones back in, then out again? This used to happen to my laptop, however since you said the speaker was intermittent I'm also thinking it may be a completely different issue.

This happened to mine and i found out it was some rubbish stuck in the earphone plug so maybe try somehow cleaning it out ,,, if not then maybe its faulty somewhere.
Mine happened the same. It started hearing the speaker's sound very rare and then it stopped working.... But then I blow into the speaker and the sound came back....
Yeah at this point after cleaning the headphone jack, and even tried blowing into the speaker I'm lust looking to replace the speaker part. No just the ribbon with the front speaker as well, but I am specifically looking for a replacement part for the speaker enclosure unit. So if anyone has any idea where i would pick it up, let me know or shoot me a link to it.
Thanks for the advice folks!

F7 Speaker Flex Cable For Samsung i9020 Google Nexus S
if you want to search for it that way
SOLVED: It was the cable.
Searching around, this seems to be a common problem with a variety of phones, some it works, some don't. My old G1 worked flawlessly in this manner.
Whenever I have a pair of headphones or my auxiliary cable for my car plugged in, the internal mic doesn't work when I receive a call. This sucks, because if I'm listening to music in my car and get a call, I have to remove the phone from the window mount and unplug the cable while driving down the road, or fiddle around with the power button to switch the phone to speaker mode (screen goes black after answering a call with the cable plugged in).
Is there a solution for this other than spending $180 on a bluetooth integration kit for my car (was looking at the Parrot MKi9000 or KlaT7)? I'm a little scared of this route considering the problems people have been having with A2DP on Gingerbread. I'm hoping the official Gingerbread release (if it EVER releases) will fix the A2DP and/or this issue. I am running Froyo right now, but am eagerly anticipating the official Gingerbread release.
Thoughts?
That does not match my experience with the stock ROM. I listen to Pandora in my car via an FM transmitter that is plugged into my earphone jack, and I receive calls all the time without having to go into speakerphone mode: the caller's voice comes through the car loudspeakers, and they hear me just fine. I just ran an experiment with a pair of earphones (no microphone) plugged in and called myself from my landline and I definitely heard it loud and clear over the landline phone when I blew into the microphone hole in the bottom of the G2x.
That definitely is odd. The phone is rooted along with faux's kernel, but I have the stock ROM. When I have the cable plugged in no one hears me on the other side, and voice dialing doesn't work either. Is your G2x all stock?

Yes, completely stock and unrooted.
Have you tried it with a different cable or with plain vanilla earphones?
No I haven't tried a different one yet. I'll try that when I get home tonight. Thanks for your input!

My guess is its the cable. Probably something with the connector is tricking the phone into thinking it has a microphone built in, just like when you plug in a headset it mutes your handset mic.
You are both correct. Just tried a different cable and it works great.
The cable I was using was the one included with the T-Mobile Window Mount Kit. I was using it because I have the Speck case and the original one I bought from MonoPrice.com was too thick to fit through the hole. The T-Mobile cable was skinnier and just barely fit. I took the phone out of the case and tried the one I bought from MonoPrice and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the help!
Now I need to decide whether or not to bore out the hole larger on a $30 case. As most reviews have stated, it does scratch very easily and is very difficult to get the phone out. Anyone know of any other cases that have a larger diameter hole for the headphone out?
hi all
I have a problem with my GT-N8010 Note 10.1's internal speakers. They work when a notification is received, however will not make a sound when it comes to media, which is inclusive of music files stored on the device, youtube or any similar online video/audio service. I also think it isnt making any system sounds either. Additionally, when the tablet is docked onto a genuine Samsung multimedia output/charging dock, a similar thing occurs.
But strangely enough, if headphones are used, all sounds from the tablet are heard.
Thinking perhaps the tablet was just having a moment, I restarted it....same result. Turned it off and on again (as you do)....same result.
I should add something......today a small amount of soup was spilled on the device, specifically onto the headphone jack. The amount was tiny, however the jack, when looked at, was full of soup to which I sucked it out as quick as I could (odd I know but the easiest way to get it out!!).
Now I completely understand how liquid and electronics aren't the best of friends, but if fluid got into the headphone jack, why didn't it fry the headphone output?
And if the internal speakers got fried by the small amount of liquid that got into the headphone jack, why do they work perfectly fine with notifications???
Have I cooked something or is the tablet having a brainfreeze??
Thanks anyone in advance
Craig
oddly enough, after leaving the tablet off for 24 hours, all sound is working once more.....
I just received my Tronsmart TS7 Glacier from Geekbuying. The phone is a nice HTC One lookalike with some awesome features including a long life 2200 mah battery, MTK6589 Quad Core processor, 1 GB RAM and a crystal clear screen. It is extremely well built and feels both heavy and solidi the hand. The included cover is rubbish, though it is free in the package so I'm not going to complain. Bluetooth supports A2DP, which works well with my Bluetooth stereo. The bottom menu, home and back keys are capacitive and illuminated - though they are so dim, that they could have avoided backlighting them altogether.The device was easy enough to root, so all in all great value. Make sure you ask for a discount for the phone, after initiating live chat on Geekbuying. I am not affiliated to them.
Oddly enough, the package had the IMEI stickers in the box, which said Cubot One. They look visually identical and I wanted to check if they are infact the same pieces, for firmware support. Can anyone confirm this please?
The supplied headset is rubbish, so I used a BlackBerry and an iPhone "headset" (Headphones with a built in mic and that has 4 contacts on the end of the 3.5mm jack) and used it with the phone. Unfortunately the headset is detected as a headphone only (i.e. With no mic; You see this on an icon near the Wifi signal) - spitting out terrible muffled sounds, unless I press and hold the (Call / End) button on the cord. The second I let go of the button, the sound returns to a terrible state.
If I plug in regular headphones, without a mic, I'm fine, but I have this problem with headsets (Again - headphones with a built in mic with call / end button) used with the TS7.Do any of you have a similar issue? I'm worried I got a half lemon. It's really bothering me. Can this be fixed by software?
Would love to hear back from you. on whether this is a common problem, or one only with my set.
P.S. The rubbish supplied headset is detected / works fine - But they sound TERRIBLE! The supplied headset also works well with my Blackberry 9790 - but my Blackberry headset does not work well with the TS7. Any thoughts? Do I need a special headset?
Thanks in advance,

Hi, I have the Cubot One, and have exact the same problem. The rubbish boxed white earphone works, but any of my Sennheisers wont. I think it has something to do with the TRRS standards but I have no fix yet. Have you solved it already??
I have the same problem!

I have the same problem man, and I was wondering If I'm the only one!!!
I tried with sony ericsson headphones...
And I have an additional problem.. when I connect my phone to my pc speakers or my amplifier and the big speakers, It pauses the music, disconnects and connects again to the cable... Every time I press play it does the same!
And another thing that I couldn't figure out with this phone is that when I go to install a big game it tries to install the sd data to phone's storage,
and says that I don't have enought free space... Even though from starage setting I have set both those settings to SD card!!!

I fount this topic because and I have that problem and do just what you say. I got my phone few days ago.
I try one my in-ear headphones and have terrible sound, then I try speakers from the computer, and when I press play, it let sound for 1 sec and stop immediately. My first conclusion was that perhaps it has a weak sound output on jack, or headphones and speakers have too much ohms resistance.
II hope you will find some solution.
For the memory, try replacing the internal memory to the memory card using this procedure (put link in google translator to translate in english): http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=616319
Hi there. I do not have the pausing problem, but I can now listen to any headphones / headsets with an adapter I bought from eBay.
Seach for "iphone to nokia adapter" on Ebay. It should cost between $2.50 to $3.00.
Hope it helps - I am enjoying all my headsets with the TS7 now (Blackberry, iphone, beats etc).
Do any of you know if there are any firmware updates for this phone?
Thanks...

I can confirm it works. I just got a cable that I ordered 14.4. for headphones. Now the sound is normal (no more like to play in a barrel), and recognizes the headset with a microphone (in the taskbar near the clock displays the headset with a microphone, before was just headphone icon). But I still can not play music through the speakers of the computer. Immediately after press play, the song stops and disconnect the speakers. Probably they have too much resistance or something that can not "push" sound.
Oh, and here's a link cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/22132695223...arms=gh1g=I221326952237.N19.S2.M-34513.R2.TR2
Hi dear friends,
I'm having a weird issue with wired (jack) headphones during calls : I can hear my own microphone !
For example during a call, if I'm in windy conditions, I can hear the wind.
During such scenarios, my phone is in a pocket or in a bag, so the mic I hear is the one on the headphone's cable.
This problem arises with either the headphones provided with the Pixel, or with any other wired headphones kit (I've tested with a Samsung).
On headphones with volume control, I can even hear a loud sound when volume up or down ...
And this issue is here out of the box, without any APP installed.
My phone has already been replaced by Google support, but the issue is still there one the new one.
Does any of you Pixel 3a owners, have seen such an issue with its phone ?
This is normal operation.
If you are wondering why the noise cancellation isn't working better, you have to understand how it works. It compares the audio from the mic on the headphone wire with the audio from a mic(s) on the phone. Anything that both mics pick up is cancelled by the noise cancellation software because it is considered an "outside noise". But anything picked up on just the wired mic is considered part of the conversation and won't be cancelled out. That means if your phone is in your pocket and it isn't getting the same wind noise (for example), then the phone will not cancel out that audio because it's only being picked up by the wired mic and not both mics.
Hopefully that helps. If you want wind noise to be cancelled out, try holding your phone in your hand and see if that helps. But the wind noise may not be picked up even then depending on which way the wind is blowing vs what orientation your phone is being held in, so you might have to hold the phone a couple of different ways to find one that works the best at that time.

Thanks for your reply
My guess is that this issue is not related to noise cancellation.
1) I've indeed mention that, in my test scenario, my phone was in my pocket. But I can remember of several times I was holding the phone in my hand, or phone was lying on a table, and even then the sound captured by both mics was audible by me.
2) When I'm in call with another person, and I'm hearing the wind in my own mic, the other person does NOT hear the wind.
Isn't anyone here using jack wired headphones ?
