I got my broken screen replaced today, and the ear speaker was working as intended prior to the repair. Now I've got it home, was putting it thru it's paces when I realized I could not hear any calls. The external speaker works just fine, but that's it. Is there something they forgot to reconnect? This is moderately frustrating and I'd like to see if I can solve it on my own tonight before I have to drive back down there tomorrow afternoon. Any help would be appreciated.
You're not gonna be able to fix it on your own.
Did you get anything resolved? From what I remember when I replaced my digitizer, you need to disconnect like 5 ribbon cables. But I don't remember if one went to the speaker you are taking about.

So about a week after getting my phone I dropped it in some water. Did everything I could to save it. Luckily all that went wrong was my speaker stopped working. Technically it works but it barely plays unrecognizable farting in a tin can type sounds. I ws looking at replacing the speaker untill I tried the sprint ROM flash. Somewhere in the middle of the process, i think before I acctually got the sprint part on, my speaker all of a sudden started working fine. I was so happy! Continue on with the sprint ROM, and now nothing but the tin can again. My brain hurts from trying to figure this one out. Anyone?

There's at least two speakers in this gadget. Odds are, you've only damaged one. In that case, it was the other speaker playing sounds during your moment of bliss.
Definatly, get it fixed. Send it out for warranty work, or pester your phone company for a new one.
Hello all,
Earlier this week my earpiece suddenly stopped working and now I cannot hear anyone's voice when receiving/making calls (yes in-call volume is maxed out).
I am ec05 stock rooted running the genocide 2.0 kernel. I've been this way for about a month with absolutely no issues at all until this week.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Maybe the ear piece is broken

Tried doing a factory reset (should I have done a reset through Clockwork instead?). Nothing changed.
Gonna see if I can get a replacement from Radioshack since we have the warranty with them.
try turning speaker phone on /off while in call. my phone used to do that randomly sometimes.
Just tried that to no avail
Thanks though.
Odin back to straight stock and see if it works.
Had something similar happen to me. Installed one of those apps that adjusts the ringers and notifications etc and the problem vanished. My problem was intermittent though.

Your ear piece is dead, go to sprint and its 35 bucks to get it replaced, I had to do it not even a month ago.

I just bought a new earpiece, keyboard, and Mic.
The Mic has always been garbage when using speaker phone. The person on the other end has problems hearing me when on speaker so hopefully that will fix it.
The #4 key was sheared off when the slide helper fell out...I already pulled it apart and set that back in place.
And then the damn ear piece quit working. I found one on eBay and am waiting on it to get here so I can pull it apart again and replace all this ****. I don't understand how all this stuff breaks AND I have to deal w unfinished software LOL. Glad It's my wife's phone hehe.
My new earpiece didn't correct the issue. I have tried everything from Odin to multiple roms. I give up. Lame. Very lame.
Update:
I have replaced the speaker...no workie....Odin...no workie....roms....no work....
My wife and I gave up and called sprint, went to a store, they swappedthe entire piece that houses the screen and earpiece and it works now!! This is great! Lol the Guy told me they couldn't swap the speaker, I kept my mouth shut. No insurance, over 1 year of owning the phone...$35 got it fixed, and they dropped a new keyboard in as my wife somehow sheared #4 key off. Good day. She's rocking stock ec05 til she gets frustrated w battery life again lmao.
Yesterday my Epic 4G stopped outputting any sound during phone calls and I've confirmed that it doesn't transmit anything that I'm saying to the other person either. However, if I plug in a speaker to the headphone jack it will play the sound from the call through that but still will not transmit my voice through the call. All other sound output works just fine, including notifications and music.
This has been happening on and off for a week or so and a reboot has been fixing it until yesterday. Since then I've rebooted multiple times, re-flashed SRF 1.2 with data wipes, and flashed the Genocide 1.1 kernel (was using Twilight before). The problem has persisted through that.
Any tips, or does this sound like a hardware/take it to the Sprint store?
Note: likely related, two weeks ago I got a new sound system in my car with an auxiliary input so I've been unplugging/plugging in the auxiliary cord for the sound system fairly often since then. Could this added stress on the headphone jack have caused this?
Also, I noticed that the phone no longer seems to sense my proximity and turn the screen black when I hold it up to my ear during a call. Before, when I held the phone to my ear during a call it would sense me and turn the screen off, now the screen just stays on.
I would Odin to stock EC05 and see if the problems still exist and if so then go to the Sprint store. Do not restore any data. Test it with fresh stock. Corrupted data can cause this as well as hardware malfunction so make sure it is not data.

Gotcha, thanks. Will try in a few days when my Blackberry cable arrives from Amazon. That also makes a lot of sense as I would want to go back to stock before taking it to the sprint store anyway.
Thanks again.

No problem. It is always a quick way of isolating the problem. I lost all 4G capability and could not figure out why. Turns out there was something corrupt in my WiMax data. Odin'd in a stock tar and all fixed, restored data and broke again. So figured there was something corrupt there.

Dang, Odined to stock EC05 and it still doesn't work. Planning to take it to the store this afternoon unless someone has something else I should try.
Not sure when you got the device (Seems to be newer ones)... But it sounds like the headphone\mic jack switch may be busted. Same happened to me not too long back and they traded me in for EVO 3D because the Epic was on back order.
Definitely take it in to get looked at, as it's most likely not your fault, and you might end up with a free upgrade!
yeah I think you might be onto something there.. I'm guessing with all the unplugging/plugging into the headphone jack that I do that it finally just had too much stress. It's stopped even recognizing that headphones are plugged in at this point. The phone is about 10.5 months old if that tells you anything.

Well i do know that the hardware on the original Epics was a bit more reliable. I had mine from release day, and I still have it. lol Screen's a bit shattered which is why TEP gave me a replacement on my "lost" phone... But the new one i got had the headphone jack issue. Same happened with my girl's newer model. Anywho, when you're unplugging the headphones make sure you're not like twisting in anyway... and don't pull at an angle. Straight outward. Just a good rule of thumb for future phones... taken from a life lesson of mine. lol
This is freaking me out because it happened a day after flashing to a new ROM.
Last night I flashed from stock EL29 to AOKP (build 32), everything was fine. Used the phone all night and all this morning. Listened to music with a wired headset for a couple of hours. When I got home from work I noticed that all my touch sounds/ringers/alerts/media sounds weren't playing. Anything that played through the rear speaker was silent regardless of volume level.
I wiped and reflashed AOKP. Nothing. Wiped and reverted to stock EL29. Nothing.
I'm starting to think that it wasn't the ROM and that the speaker or connections just died. Any advice or help for this situation? I'm thinking I'm going to take a peek inside just to check the connections.
Did u make sure its not thinking the headset is still plugged in? I've seen issues where the headset jack goes haywire and thinks its got a plug in it when it really doesnt

Got it working. What I did for anyone having a similar problem:
I dismantled the thing and I found the speaker contacts were corroded. Downside of living in a tropical climate I guess. A little cotton and alcohol to clean them up and the darn thing is working now. Took the opportunity to check all the other major contact points, all is right with the world.
Howdy lads and gals.
I have a lovely issue here, I dropped my phone from my pocket and it slammed screen first right onto the rock solid kitchen floor Of course it made an unholy slap but the screen was not scratched so I figured Phew! all is good
But then after a minute or so the phone suddenly shut down and it wouldn't boot back on for over an hour or recharge either.
It does charge now and also boots up but the vibration and sound is gone and even the Home button randomly works and doesn't work...
I take it I have a hardware related issue now? Is there any way that I could try and fix this myself?
Or will I have to walk into a phone shop and hopefully they will get it repaired?
Sounds like it got damaged from the drop, too bad and good luck.
Thanks I'm pretty screwed now.. oh well. I will get it sorted for repair if possible
I just bought the LG G3 phone now as my backup phone :/ gosh I'll miss my Asus phone if I can't get it fixed :/

If you would like to send to ASUS for out-of-warranty repair please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]. Please include case # N160232147 in the subject line.

This has happened to me lots. Just take the back off the phone, there are a whole bunch of screws holding it on. Pry that up, vibrate motor is bottom right corner. Make sure it is plugged in correctly. Then that should be it.
The speaker also just slides in and uses two contacts. Make sure it is completely seated in its little spot. While you're in there, check the main ribbon connectors. There's one right above the battery that likes to get dislodged after a drop.
Let me know if you need any ****tily labeled pictures.
@Asus_USA: Thank you very much, I will get contact with you if I'm unable to fix it myself
@JHT: Thank you, I will actually give this a go later tonight and see if that is indeed the issue. Hopefully it's as simple as that ^^

Does your phone detect flash drives?
Not sure what the issue might be, but there are replacement charging docks for sale on Aliexpress and eBay for $5: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...ck.TRS0&_nkw=zenfone+2+charging+dock&_sacat=0 . Although if you order from China with free shipping it'll take like 2-3 weeks to get the item.
plz help
