i just thought i'd post this.
i had a problem with low earpiece volume with my desire. i ordered a new earpiece and when it came i took the phone apart.
upon doing so i noticed the mesh in front of the earpiece had alot of dirt and dust clogged into it.
it was the same on the actual earpiece itstelf, there was alot of dirt and dust covering the front of the earpiece itself.
i cleaned it all off and my earpiece volume is back to how it was when i purchased the phone, but because i had purchased a new earpiece i fitted it.
it is probably worth buying a new one for the sake of about £6.
hope this helps anyone with the same problem...
thanks, always nice with tips like this :>

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.

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.
I had to replace the screen and digitiser on my TP2 after shutting it in the boot of a car (clever huh?). I accomplished the swap surprisingly easily after buying a pre-built screen and digitiser from Hong Kong for about £25. It even came with a spudger to help me take it apart I followed a few guides, including this iFixit one, which greatly helped.
Frustratingly though after putting it all back together and making a test call, the earpiece rattles during calls. Not a lot, but enough to make me want to fix it; applying gentle pressure to a certain top part of the bezel reduces the rattle a little bit but I've taken it apart three times and taped up various sections now to see if stops the problem. Unfortunately, no such luck.
Is the earpiece rattle something to do with inadequate insulation (or the ribbon cable running down the back of the screen)? Everything's sandwiched in pretty tight and I've reapplied electrical tape to what I think are the key areas. I've also padded the top area where the earpiece comes through the metal mesh and I've stuck the mesh down with doublesided tape so it can't move about. The problem persists though...
Everything else works fine, and the speaker also works perfectly with no vibrations or rattles (even though I also took that bit apart to inspect it) so I can't figure out why just the earpiece is rattling. Anybody taken their Touch Pro2 apart, had the same problem and solved it?
I have torn apart probably 3-4 TP2 screens and never had anything rattle. Did you lose a screw in there by chance? That is the only thing that would be small enough to rattle in there I think.
The only other thing I could thing that it might be is a bad connection to the vibrator motor. Maybe you have the little ribbon cable pinched or a bit off the socket it fits in.
So I recently fixed my one m8 screen which went well. Unfortunately during the process I ruined the top speaker.
Today I got a replacement but it's **** and sounds terrible, it functions at low volumes but distorts badly after medium volume.
My question is do you guys know any links to good replacements?
Also would it be possible to remove the speaker from the bottom speaker housing and put it in the top?
Cause ifixit only sells the bottom speaker, and i'd trust that speaker more than random ebay ones.
Thanks in advance.
Hello Everyone, Anyone with feedback on my issue or suggestions please comment-
After I cracked my glass I ordered a replacement screen/LCD/Frame single piece through amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TRWBNH6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
After performing the repair I have no sound from earpiece speaker and distortion from the loud speaker at the bottom of the phone. So I figured I must have damaged the speaker during the part transfer from old unit to new. So I ordered a new speaker. Speaker came today and after replacing the speaker I get the same sound from bottom and none from top.
I have searched and seems mostly iPhone post on the web with a similar issue. After calling local repair shops in MD/DC area, I do not have confidence that any of the ones I called know what to do.
Input is appreciated, I just bought this phone on craigslist and now its got a new screen but with no sound its junk!
Thanks
Ok it all started like this:
First my phone's camera glass shattered. When i used my phone without a camera glass while i was waiting my replacement glass i ordered, the camera lens got dirty. I tried to clean the lens and then it got blurry. I ordered a camera module and replaced it and all worked fine but this time power button didn't work. I bought i power + volume control flex cable and it's sorted. When i closed my phone, then i noticed my ear speaker doesn't work. Loudspeaker works though. I bought a replacement ear speaker but it didn't solve the issue. Where else could be the reason of the problem do you think?
The oneplus customer care would be the best bet to get this resolved
