I am on my 3rd blown rear speaker since august so I decided to order a 5 pack of speakers so I don't have to unroot and drive 45 miles to the closest repair center to get my speaker changed. I have a coworker with a Droid Incredible that has a blown speaker and I was wanting to see if they use the same rear speaker as the evo. Hope there is someone that can give me a definite answer. Thanks.
Are you talking about the speaker or the battery? your title says battery...
And how exactly do you blow 3 speakers?
Not sure about the rear battery, but I'm pretty sure they use the same front battery..

confirmed, same front battery
Front battery or rear battery depends on how you hold the phone.
I'm sorry, I meant speaker. I don't know why the hell I said battery. So, my question is does the Evo and the Droid Incredible use the same rear speaker, the loud speaker?
I wonder why your speakers are blowing are you using any enhancements?

The only thing I can figure that is making them blow would be metal shavings. I am an electrician so u drill pretty often and the magnet on the speaker draws in shavings. I clean it out constantly with tweezers, being sure not to push them into the speaker. I also use an equalizer to lower the bass to help prevent them from blowing.
Yea that could be the prob are you using a case if so what type.

did you ever figure out if they are compatible ? I sell speakers for the evo and I am going to start selling for the incredible .. If I only have to stock one that would be much easier!

So I just got back from a camping trip and I turned my phone on and the speaker sounds horrible. It sounds like it might be blown or have debris in it. My phone sat in my hot car all weekend so my two questions are
Did the heat mes up my speaker?
How can I clean debris out of the speaker?
I rarely use the speaker to listen to music so it seems pretty weird that it is blown. Any advice would be great!

the speaker has a mesh over it, its very unlikely they are debris on the driver. it is likely that the sealant used to hold the cone to the coil, or surround melted. theres no way to fix this short of replacing it. if it did indeed melt, things would sound muffled and muddy.

replacing it isn't a big deal, read my thread. It's a 10 dollar quick, easy, and 5 minute process. The hardest part is undoing the screws on the back. Easy as pie. Way easier than it sounds, and it sounds easy. Don't worry about it, just replace it.

Hmm when people say its easy, you sometimes have to worry. It may be easy to you, but maybe he doesn't have the precision hand or nerves of steel it takes if you accidently poke a hole in something while your doing it. I have never taken my dinc apart, but if I did, I would be extremely careful. I followed an online tutorial on how to replace an ipod battery once and I mutilated that case. It never fit right after that... Just be careful, if you decide to do this and take your time, don't force stuff appart!
My speaker used to be perfect then degraded to only playing perfect at half volume and no degraded to even a little volume being total crap. It sounds all scrambly and I don't seem to have the correct word for it right now. Anyone know of a solution or why this is happening?

ur speaker is most likely shot...this might help u so that u dont have to take it to a sprint store to get it fix

Yep, your speaker is blown. You can get them on ebay for a few bucks if you are comfortable replacing it yourself.
Might be the same problem i have, metal dust and shavings. I work construction and this is a common problem for me. Sounds real scratchy, blown. Take out the speaker and you can fix it by rubbing a strong earth magnet on it. Most ppl will say just replace it while you have it out, but if this is the problem then it'll just happen again.

I do woodworking but I don't think it could be that. I'm gonna buy a new speaker since the earth magnet actually costs more

Hi everyone.
I accidentally dropped my phone as I was getting out of my car (damn that new coat with all it's pockets!).
Now I noticed that at full volume, the speaker is really hard to understand, and at about 1/3 volume it becomes clearer- but the person becomes harder to hear in terms of loudness.
At full volume it's as though the person on the other side is talking with their lips on the mic and really loudly.
Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the speaker, or what could have caused this? I am familiar with taking the phone apart. I've done it a number of times, but I'm just wondering if it even makes sense to try at this point.
thnx
EDIT: I found this.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-desire-z-earpiece-speaker-replacement.html
anyone install one of these? requires desoldering, I guess?
I dont think it requires anything really besides opening. I believe that when I swapped my spring the speaker is on the back side of the phone and the entire motherboard is seperate on front side.
thanks scott.
you're correct. no soldering. it has two spring-bent type contacts and it looks like there is a metal bracket around the speaker that has 4 indentations to hold the speaker down over 4 small cavities in the speaker body.
should be easy.
and i found it for 2 bucks to boot!
Yea, replacing the speaker is very easy. First take off the back (4 screws) and then I think there is one more screw to get the speaker loose. But I don't remember exactly. Might be none.
Hello,
I bought my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 two days ago and yesterday i noticed that the little plasic stripe where the speaker grill is is slightly raised in a curved shape. I was wondering if this was normal? And if not where can i fix it? Do i have to go back to my provider (KPN) or just go to the samsung store?

Not damaged, have that too
This is normal mate...
The bump on speaker grill is not only to ur handset.This is in order to avoid blockage of holes of grill when u place it on any flat surface and the sound can be listened better through the gap.

Yes, that's an unfortunate side-effect of that little bump.
Wondering if others have noticed that the speaker grills on the sides of the new note 10.1 are loose- ie if you tip it on the sides can you tap the speaker grills and they kinda move back and forth? Not a big issue, just wondering if it was just my device or if they are all like this? Appreciate the feedback.

Mine is like that too, but it doesn't bother me. I didn't notice it until I read it somewhere else on the forums.
Mine do not seem to move at all so its not all of them.

Mine is like that too. Not a big issue for me either.
One of my Notes does that, I took a small piece of tape and used it on both edges and they don't move anymore. It helps my ocd lol.

yea thats like mine, only moves if i touch it
I have the same issue with one of the speakers, and both the power and volume buttons. There is enough of a loose fit, that any touch results in a metal clanking type noise. Rather disappointed at the build quality. My first Galaxy Tab (two years and running) has never had any of these build quality issues.

I recommend you do something because my speaker is nice and tight when I touch it

mine only clacks if i tap it. but my tap is louder than the click and i generally don't spend my time tapping my tablet.
My tablet does not have this problem. Well ... it did not have any loose speaker grills last night. However, today the right grill is now loose. I have been treating this thing very carefully as I do not have a case for it yet. So nothing traumatic happened to it that would cause the grill to become loose.
I have two 32 GB tablets and the speakers are not loose.
Mine actually felt I don't know where and I cannot find it.
I wanted to fix that, so I contacted Samsung support. I'll skip the disappointing conversation with the support person, but at the end my best option according to the tech support is to go to samsungparts.com and buy it there.
I put all the info there, but I cannot find the specific one that actually is required. Has anyone replace this part? If so, which part should I buy?
Thanks
