A week ago the audio on the left side of any earphone I plugged into my xiaomi mi4 started to crackle.
After a week there is no sound at all anymore, unless I push the jack connector sitting in the phone to the front it is completely fine. When I release my finger the sound on the left side is completely gone. At first I thought it might be a software problem but after this I think it's something with the audio jack inside the phone. I found the part on aliexpress and I think it's worth a try. I think it must be soldered on the motherboard though. I can't really find any similar threads on forums about the mi4 so I think it's not a common problem with this phone. Can anyone help me out or push me in the right direction. Thanks.
I cannot open my Mi4 right now but you can always open yours, just be careful, you won't break anything. Be careful removing screws and any part and you'll see the flex. It's not hard as it sounds
I got the exact same problame. Did you manage to solve it somehow ?

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.
Hi there everybody,
First of all, I'd just like to point out that I'm new to this forum, a friend of mine referred me to here.
I have a Tornado SPV C600, which as of today, is running WM6 Platinum Edition 5.2.1711.18165.0.5.0 SP1 by NiTroGen.
On with the problem, a couple of weeks ago my ipod died. Again.... So this time I decided to put some music on my C600. 3 days later, the headphone jack got pulled out of the socket when I put the phone back into my pocket after choosing a track. Since then, whenever somebody has called me, or I've called somebody, no sound comes out of the earpiece on the phone itself. The only way I can hear what's going on is by plugging the handsfree headset back into the bottom.
The same issue occurs when using HTC Audio Manager/WMP to play music through the phone's speaker....I have to use the headphones again.
However, the phone does seem to be playing small sounds like the annoying jingle when I receive a text. Which leads me to believe that it is a software issue rather than a hardware issue.
Has anybody ever had this problem? Could anyone point me in a direction?
Thanks,
Bassmad
You've damaged the jack. Probably the solder points where the jack connects to the board, or possibly the spring-like part inside the jack which acts like a switch.
Go to the Modaco forums for disassembly instructions and follow the guide to open yours. Take a good look at the jack; if it's loose, see if you know anyone good enough to resolder it for you.
i have same problem before 2 week and i try plugin hardly my earphone several time.and solved it

You probably loosened the stuck springy part or pushed the part back into the board.
I came to sell my Fuze, and the new owner returned the phone because apparently the rear speaker (ringtones, music, hands-free) isn't working. I did a hard reset, flashed a new ROM, reflashed HardSPL, and nothing. So I changed the internal speaker, and nothing. I tested both the old and new speakers, and i did get a resistance across them so they aint blown. Unfortunately, I just ran out of warranty 3 weeks ago, and i don't want to pay $100s from HTC's warranty service.
Has anyone had this problem before? I know the source of the problem might be in the logic board (looked at leaked service manual). Does anybody know a specific way to further test the source of the problem, and maybe direct me in the path of purchasing the parts for it?
Thanks a lot
I had a similar problem and the HTC service centre had to change the speaker and the mother board ( luckily it was still under warranty)
I had the same problem. Changed the speaker but didn't work. A friend of mine disassembled the phone, couldn't fix it, when he assembled it, it worked. His guess was a bad connection in the electrical circuit. There is a metal plate below the speaker with multiple circuits. He said the problem was there. The other option is busted amplifier, which means either a new motherboard or a new phone. My friend had an idea about fixing the electrical circuit before the phone magically worked. If you wish I can ask him what he had in mind as I'm no good at disassembling phones
Yeah, that'd be awesome if you could get some info. Otherwise, the phone is worthless :\
You're talking about the speaker that's glued into the back housing, right? I took apart my phone to replace the LCD and ended up mangling the connector for that speaker. The wires broke and I ran over it with my office chair. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to re-seat properly. It would plug in, but still wouldn't work. I finally just soldered the wires directly to the two tiny round contacts just in front of the connector and it worked. I don't know of a good way off the top of my head to test the output, but if you have a connection problem, that's one way to fix it.
i found similar threads and posts but none with this specific problem. i have a b90 from bb, 12/11/11. yesterday out of no where, i lost sound. long story short after reboots and wipes, realized when i rotate or ecspecially shake my tf101, my speaker cut on, then off. when i press hard on the bezel in the middle, they come on briefly. sometimes they stay on.
any insight or answers to solve this so i dont have to do the rma process would be greatly appreciated. after purchase from bb for 299 ( cheaper build to reduce price maybe) i became an asus fan. now, i am really dissapointed in quality since other then this, my tablet is physically flawless and hasnt been dropped or damaged.
edit: both speakers do work when they decide to come on, and heaphones work. thnx in advance
I have cut out and removed my right speaker because it was dead, waiting on an order from asusparts.eu for a replacement speaker
It wasn't a loose wire, it was the connection to the actual cone that was bad, pressing in the middle of the speaker brought it to life for the first time since I bought it, but nothing I could do to fix it, they are more or less sealed and too tiny to fix
so you believe its the speakers? they both seem to work, they just aren't outputting sound until I shake the tablet, push, or sometimes face down they work
Why not just rma it?

Couldn't say for sure, but it sounds like something you could fix yourself if shaking it brings it back on, if you don't mind losing warrantly opening it, but bear in mind, my speaker replacement has already taken 2 weeks and they are not expecting parts until the end of february, so RMA might be quicker, depends if you can put up being without it for a while
honestly i dont want to be without my tf. silly huh. its weird though i just discovered that like i mentioned, headphones work fine, however after i unplug the headphones the speakers immedfiately output sound and continue to do so until i change to another app. e.g.- while watching netflix, then back out and open a game with sound, it doesnt output untilni plug and unplug headphones. this seems to be the best way to get speakers to play.
they donteven seem to cut out with movement afterbthe headphones are unplugged. only when exiting out of current app, then attemptingbtonopen a new one. what is the issuer here?
im lost ast this point. rma aside, this has me curious now
id probally be willing to do it myself, if i knew exactly what i was replacing or repairing or rigging. i purchased a kit with the neccesary t5 torx, and phillips to remove bezel.
how tight should the screws be on the bottom of the tf. i dont want to overtighten. got some petty hope that tightening the screws will help. more sillyness im sure.....
this stinks though cvuz this just happened. you know? thnx in advance.
also lookimg at bluetooth speaker as an alternative
Speakers working after you remove the headphones but stopping again once you launch another app ?
You tried a factory reset in-case its a software / firmware bug ?
Screws just need nipping up, not tightened too much or you`ll either thread the holes or snap the head of the screw
Just RMA it, man.
Hi all,
I know this is probably a vague question, but I'm hoping someone knows some fact about the hardware that I don't.
My earpiece speaker went bad a long time ago (there's sound, but it's very faint). I decided to take the leap, and repair it.
Went on ifixit, ordered used earpiece, installed it and... no sound at all? Nothing, nada, not even a faint like the og one.
Og one still works the same though: badly, but there's sound. So I ask them for a replacement, they send it... same issue?
At this point I think I must've broken something, so I try one last hail mary. I notice the bottom speaker connector is the same, so I attach
it to the connector up top and... it works perfectly!
I'm completely at a loss right now. Do you guys think it's possible both used speakers from ifixit were faulty? Or is there some kind of special trick to connecting them that doesn't apply to the bottom speaker? (I'm literally just plugging them in, nothing else.
Would love someone's input on this and extra trouble shooting ideas.
Thanks,
