The speaker in my Dash has gone bad. There is one on eBay, but no way I'm paying $40 shipped for a speaker the size of a thumbnail. I saw there are HTC Touch speakers that look identical for $16 shipped. I don't suppose anyone knows if Touch speakers are the same? I asked the seller for dimensions, but no telling if they'll bother to answer.
Gnat, I have a spare Dash I got off Ebay that looks like crap ( on the rear) but I was able to use for parts (saved me when I got water in my Keyboard for sure). I can open it up tonight and measure the speaker for you if you like. Now all you need are the dimensions of the other speaker and you're all set
Thanks very much for the offer, but I already have the speaker out so I only need dimensions for the donor speaker. Although if you want to sell the speaker from your donor, let me know!
Hmmm, try soaking your bad keyboard in alcohol for a few days, then let dry for a few more. That just might work and you'd have 2 good Dashes.
Gnat, thanks for the tip. I may have to try that. Have u confirmed that the dash speaker's the same as the one u need? If so PM me and we can go from there
I'm in need of a new speaker as well. Mine just started having a tinny, crackled sound, and I can't stand it! Do you still have an available speaker for sale? Is it as simple as unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one? Any way I could inadvertently trash something else in the process?
Thanks!
Where were you guys when I was relentlessly searching for this blasted speaker WEEKS ago?! ((breathing hard)) Okay. It'd be wonderful if you could post the whereabouts of a speaker replacement when you find one. lol I can't seem to find any anywhere. There was one on eBay, but it disappeared into thin air!
HTC Touch speaker is the same. I ended up buying one from this seller e2_shop on eBay, here's a direct link to the Touch speakers they're selling: Link
There are plenty of damaged Dash's on ebay. They are just kinda pricey. I got one tonight, and it's on its way. I found this, http://pdasmart.zftp.com/instructions/T Mobile Dash Instructions.pdf
for getting into the Dash. For those of you that have replaced the speaker, is there anything more to it than shutting down, removing the back, unplugging the old speaker and plugging in the new one?
Thanks!
OMG, GnatGoSplat, I needed that link before I spent a fortune for a defective Dash just for the speaker! Oh well, you live and learn. I bought another from your link above because I need the tools to open the Dash. That was a great deal. Thanks for the link!
Glad I could help.
You don't even have to unplug the old speaker, when you take the back cover off, the speaker is attached to the back cover and those gold contacts touch some gold pads on the motherboard. All you have to do is use a small screwdriver or similar tool to pry the old speaker out. I think it's held in with a little adhesive. It comes out pretty easily.
I'm guessing your new broken Dash has a bad LCD? If so, you can replace the LCD and sell the Dash for a pretty good profit. I sold a repaired Dash for $163 once!
Guys I was just wondering if anybody knows where to find a dash shell? I have some deep scratches on the case of my phone and I have been trying to find a new OEM one for it so I can pull everything apart and change the case and clean it up.
EBay? google search?

I tried that but only came up with protective cases that you put the phone within.
search for OEM HOUSING not case or shell

Whoa, whoa, whoa... I don't think I'm on the same page. I was under the impression this speaker was for the earpiece. Do any of you know where to find a replacement earpiece speaker? My other Dash won't allow me to hear the other caller unless I place the phone on speakerphone or use a headset. When I use the phone regularly, I can't hear the other party speaking. Somebody, please...help!

That's the main speaker for speakerphone, ringtones, music, etc.
I don't have my Dash apart anymore and I didn't take any pics of it apart, so I don't know what the earpiece speaker looks like.
Best thing to do is probably to take it out and compare it to the one for other phones. If the Dash uses the main speaker from the Touch, could it maybe use the earpiece speaker from the Touch as well? Here is one on eBay. Pretty good pics on that auction for you to compare.

Great thats awesome. Can anybody confirm that part of the housing is also over the screen or would the scratches that I have be fixed by replacing the screen itself?

Anyone have a solution on how to make sure this headset stays on? It functions well, but comes off way too easily...

It is a bluetooth headset, hence the post in the "Accessories".
As to the OP, I don't have one, so I can't truly comment. I used to have problems with my old BT headset sitting correctly (broke the ear clip two times because it didn't fit well over my huge ears). However Bluetooth earpieces are often very hit or miss for fitting well. Possibly change the little ear-canal mold-coupler piece (the silicone part where the speaker fits into your ear)? If the fit of the ear clip is loose, you also might consider using some Sugru (is a type of modders' silicone putty that cures fairly quickly) to mod it to be a bit thicker in the spots that don't hold well. Would increase the grippiness as well as modify the shape to fit you better.
Hi,
Any one of you guys has this case and experienced problems with microphone volume level? http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/case-mate-tough-case-for-sony-xperia-z1-black-black-p40805.htm
Since I bought it ppl tell me I sound like I was asleep or smth.
After switching to loudspeaker ppl say the sound quality is ok. Calling through bluetooth headset is also ok.
I tested this case with mic noise suppression on and off without any major differences - still crappy sound coming from microphone.
The case itself was a bit overpriced but it protects the phone very well, but if any of you guys experienced something like that I might just get rid of it and get incipio... Weird - never had those issues with case-mate
thanks
I don´t have such problems, it sounds for me exactly the same with case and without case ...

It looked much better and cheaper IMO...

yeah - saw that but I wanted something that covers back also - case-mate has all buttons covered in rubber - it's pretty neat but taking a screenshot is a little hard (succeeded 1 out of 10 attempts) and has a cutout only for charging flap. I would recommend that for phone protection but ergonomics and functionality - it's not perfect. Too expensive.
I haven't seen anything regarding speaker location. I assume it's not gonna be front facing.
you assumed right
Correct. It's on the bottom, and, only one.
Big Bad Bummer
i think like Note 7 and iPhone 6S one speaker but good qaulity

Not sure why they'd go away from the front speaks..

I think it's an extremely strange design choice to not have front facing speakers on any phone (not just the Pixel). If I need to use the phone speaker(s), I really can't think of any situation where I would want the sound pointed away from me. I don't have any of my home stereo or TV speakers facing the wall or floor, and I wouldn't want the same in a phone when I'm trying to consume content. It seems similar to having speakers in your car installed on the outside facing away from you. If I'm having a conversation with someone, I don't talk to the floor or turn around and talk away from the person. I don't understand what benefit the bottom or rear facing speakers give anyone.
Also, I'm sure it's not this simple for the designers and engineers, but on the Pixel, if the speakers are already at the bottom of the phone, wouldn't it seem simple to just have them pointing towards you, instead of down? They could be installed in literally the same place, just with a different orientation.
I'm hoping when they single firing that they mean it's just a single firing into the space into the bottom part of the phone and comes out both speakers. It's mono sound but at least it comes out both slits instead of just one. Wishful thinking though. I feel like they had a spec wishlist that they created back in 2014 or something.

From what I've seen there are two holes, one of each side of the USB-C port... How is that only one speaker?

Right just like iPhones have been the past few years etc.
I am pretty sure I saw a video on YouTube somewhere saying only one fires up. If I can find it I will link it here for you. Of course, I hope I a wrong since I ordered one.

Hmmm, now that I think of it, it could be for the microphone. Here's the video where I noticed it... He even plays some music.

There is only one speaker....I think the bottom right....but there are two holes just like the iPhone....it is there for symmetry. Just like the top bezel is the size it needs to be to accommodate headphone jack and other stuff....so for symmetry they made the bottom bezel the same size. I wish it was unsymmetrical for the bezel and had a smaller bezel...hence lager screen size with the same phone dimensions.
