[Q] About ARC hardware - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, Ok here is my situation...
Screen broke when I dropped my phone and after long searching I found a new OFFICIAL screen.
I started to install it and everything went ok apart from, when I booted my phone I lost vibration and my ear speaker is damaged.
These could have happened when the phone was dropped however the ear speaker is easy to do when I buy one...
My main question is what part of hardware is responsible for the vibration of the phone??
After searching through the service manuals and the net I cannot actually find the part that is the culprit.
Hope someone here knows
Thanks in advance...

Problem: Speakerphone always on... always.

I had a strange problem on Sunday where my phone was constantly sending the * non-stop. I tried powercycling and yanking the battery, but it was relentless. The key was still 'clickable', so I decided to disassemble the device and clean the key sensor. (I had disassembled it a while back to replace the screen, so I wasn't intimidated by this procedure.) I used one of the guides on youtube to take it apart, I gently cleaned the sensor with a qtip and reassembled the phone. And it worked! No more stuck keys
Now though, I have a new problem. All conversation comes out of the speakerphone. I can turn the speakerphone on and then off, warm boot, cold boot, yank the battery, adjust the volume properties, I even reflashed the newest Ricky 6.1 rom. Still, I get all audio out of the speakerphone. As far as I can tell it also is coming from the ear speaker, but the speakerphone is loud enough that I could just as well be hearing it instead.
The question is, is this a short? I'd have a hard time seeing it to be a s/w issue after I reflashed. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm facing?
bump.
I realize I'm posting a probable hardware issue to a primarily software forum. I wasn't sure where else to go. If anyone can suggest a different forum that I could post the question at, that would be equally appreciated.

i have same problem please help
take it to service - HW fault .. or if you wish to open device I can tell you what the test points are
I agree with JSP_M
You didn't have this problem before you opened your device. You have the problem now, since you have opened your device, so that obviously means that something went wrong when you opened it.
The audio output is one line. It diverts the signal to the earpiece or the speaker. These diversions are controlled by your registry, since you have reflashed your phone, the registry will have been cleared, so that is not the problem. Plus, you claimed you hear sound in the earpiece at the same time you hear sound in the speaker, so open up your device.
Trace out the lines from the speaker and the lines from the earpiece, if you feel froggy. Then, see if anywhere that shouldn't be touching is, or if something looks brown or discolored. This indicates a short circuit. I can safely tell you though, that something is touching somewhere that is not supposed to be. Listen to JSP_M, he sounds like he has some other points of interest for you test, once you get you phone opened up.
Hope this helps. Later.

Try to call the customer service line from Tmobile and tell them your phone is defective and they should send you a new one.
The loud speaker is harnessed in the back housing of the phone and the ear speaker is harnessed in the faceplate above the LCD. The pads that they connect to aren't even close to each other and are on opposite sides of the mobo. I have repaired a lot of Dash phones and I have yet to come accross this problem. Try cleaning the pads they connect to and make sure the contacts are making a good connection. Or, if you can live without speaker phone then just remove the speaker from the housing all together.
I'm having the same problem on my Wing (Herald). But I never took it apart. In addition Activesync will no longer work. It never connects but my computer makes the 'ding' and the PPC screen lights up when I connect it so it can't be a bad usb port. It seems like a software problem to me, since it recognizes being plugged in, just not the connection.
What are the registry keys that route the audio?
how can i edit register keys
and i get new ear speaker still same problem
thank you
Send it to customer service
I once had that problem.... I sent it to customer service, and i got a new phone in 3 days. You have to pay for shipping though.
Heeeelppppp

Crack sound from internal speaker

Hello,
I use Virtuos 1.27 on my DHD with recommended radio.
My problem is when i am in a call the internal speaker sounds cracked. I have to lower volume alot to get rid of it. Is it possible that rils+radio have made this?
I read that Volume apk boost the volume but it was longtime since i used it. Is there any revert to default speaker settings?
External speaker is good.
Tips on how to check if its really broken?

I had the same thing a while back, even on the lowest volume setting it sounded awful. A quick search of the forums found people suggesting blowing / sucking where the speaker grill is. In desperation I gave it a try and it worked! Search the forum for more detailed instructions on what to do.
Haha suck the phone....really?

I know, it sounds ridiculous, but try it.
Here's the original post I found about it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11820800&postcount=4
I have the same problem... second time around....
but mine completely shuts off randomly and then activates again randomly...
First time it occured i had a week or so left on warranty, shipped the phone to workshop and they replaced the internal speaker, i did not reset the htc firmware from ARHD and they repaired it on goodwill since i didnt have the original software. my warranty expired, now 5 weeks later the exact same problem appears... i tried blowing and sucking the speaker (boy did it make me feel like a retard) but without results... im thinking i could try flashing the original rom but the realist in me says thats only the optimist in me thinking... does anyone have any advice on this matter ? thank you
I had the same problem and I got my phone exchanged.
The new one works fine.
Not sure you can fix it yourself.
I took my desire hd apart last night. and you would not believe the crap that gets in there. I had a ton of metal particles on both my speakers I cleaned them off and it sounds so much better. Just watch the teardown video on youtube.
I had the same problem with cracked sound, and blowing/sucking helped me

htc external speaker issue

i tried searching the forum but couldnt find any info on it.
the external speaker on the htc one x stopped working but if you tap the back casing the speaker works for few hours and then the problem comes back again. i tried flashing a new rom it works for a bit and and then had the same problem again. is there any suggestions what could be done to solve this issue?
Maybe you got a defected HOX ??

found the fix. it was the contacts that connects the speaker module to the board, may be the contacts( the same type of pins that caused the wifi issue) on my HOX got pressed too much i guess, probably going to solder the pins when i get home as of now have it taped up for the testing
i had the same problem when i openned my HOX, after closing, back button led and speaker didn't work, i disassembled and reassembled again and it works, so watch out if you'll open it!
I see ... Hope you get it fixed then
soldered all four connection, did a test didnt work so i played with the speaker connection a bit and it worked. i guess the speaker had a loose connection or something as of now placed a bit of masking tape and closed the housing. working so far now. i guess the problem is with the chip where speaker is plugged
Had the exact same problem, although it degraded to the point that tapping the grille only brought sound back for a second in the end.
Got HTC to repair it along with the wifi.

No Speaker Sound

I believe the phone repair shop has damaged my phone. It went in for broken glass on the lcd. They broke the frame and replaced that after I refused to accept it, went and got it today, almost 2 months after bring it to them, and the screen looked great! The phone's headset speaker works, but the main speaker for ringing and speaker phone does not.
Anything I can do software to test it?
Anything I can do with this phone to fix it?
Worth anything without an external speaker?

You need to look for a speaker flex cable.
All I see is repair shops ruining peoples One X's, hense I don't want to send mine for repair.
If I could do it all over again I would have sent it to HTC directly. I regret everything.
Any chance it has to do with my custom rom? Worked when I took it into the shop.. Maybe I need to reflash it?
Sorry
I had this problem too, but I did it. Going to open the phone for the well known Wi-Fi issue I've accidentally damaged the speaker going too much deeper with the swiss knife. Ordering a new rear for the phone with of course the speaker included solved my problem. It's around a 25€ damage anyway, not huge amount of money but is definitely something. You should ask for a refund or explane them what possibly happens.

Fixing a phone

So a while back i posted a thread about my E4GT being broken physically. The speaker was broken because of a disconnected circuit (i broke a golden clip off inside the case) and no vibration (the motor was transfered from my old phone and i believe i broke something on the circuit).
Anyway my dad just found my old junk phone (Samsung Intercept) and i was wondering if at the very least somebody could point me in the right direction for if possible to part swap between the 2 phones ( speaker and vibration motor to the E4GT)
Call me what you will, nooby or not, and i apologize if something such as this has already been posted (i doubt it but i didnt see any on search) but this would really help me out
[Solved]
a friend of mine had a spare one sitting around so i just jacked some parts from him
