My phone took a quick swim the other day. Everything works except when I make calls it causes tons of static and I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. The weird thing is with headphones in or on speaker phone the phone works perfectly.
I thought maybe the ear piece speaker was to blame, but I bought a new one and replaced it, and still no luck. Any other thoughts on what may be the issue?
Thanks!
One of the connections came loose to the mic probably.
Happened to me on a old school PS2 headset, I could hear other people and they were all yelling saying I was hurting their ears.
Took the headset apart and sure enough found the unattached connection.
them not being able to hear you when normal call tells me the main mic has failed.
Normal calls use the second mic for noise cancelling only. Speakerphone use either, or just have them swap roles. I can't really tell. The main mic is part of the usb connector assembly. try reseating it first.
I just reseated it i believe. I took the screw out at the bottom of and removed the bottom block (of course after taking the phone apart). Still same staticy noise.
How do I have the speaker phone switch which mic it uses? Maybe I can pinpoint the issue and then order a replacement part?
I know this is an old post, but any progress on this? My nexus is having the exact same problem. I've already replaced the charging port/mic cable and the problem is still there. Thanks
That is all I had to do to get it fixed (replace port/charging + mic cable/ribbon at the bottom of the phone).
Alright, I ordered 2 replacement cables so I'll try another one when I get home later. Thanks for responding

take apart my device
and get the part nr from the speaker or simply remove the speaker
and take it to a electronic store and get one like it
The speaker on my mini s stopped working shortly after using headphones in the headphone socket.
I googled the problem and read somewhere (can't remember where) that a solution might be to "blow" into the earphone socket.
They couldn't be serious, could they??? So I blew, and blow me, it works ok again. Maybe muck gets into the socket. As I say, it worked for me.
Headset connector causing issues with internal speaker..
Before you start pulling apart your unit (and voiding any warranty left), make sure to try a bit of Electrolube contact cleaner into the headset connector (and a few insert / removes of the headphones).. The little metal ground pin seems to deform and lock 'out' sometimes.. causing the PDA to get stuck in 'headset inserted' mode...
Unfortunately the only way to fix this if the connector is bent is often to bend the connector back into place (open the unit).
Good luck!

Hey there
Yesterday I suddenly realized, that my ear piece speaker stopped working. First I thought it was just a little bug, solvable through re-trying to call or rebooting.
Nothing worked. Strangely enough going via the load speaker or the headset, everything sounds fine. Just the ear piece in the phone seems defect.
Then I found some weird diy solutions like using your headphone jack as a drill and pushing and pulling it in several ways or using a tooth-pick to scramble open some stuck switch. But honestly I don't know if this helps or breaks my headphone jack.
You guys have any idea how to solve this - don't want to send it in (wait weeks and get an lcd-desire back).
Cheers and Thanks
Just off the phone (no, not with my Desire) with HTC Customer Service, who have never heard of this issue and just recommend a hard-reset.
Still need to try the "jam the original headphones in and out"-solver tho.
seriously? I'm the first with this issue?
well hard reset, nor poking in the jack brought any benefit. so sending it in it is then :/
My Lumia 900 was working fine then all of a sudden it didn't make any sound even with volume 30/30. Looking back I believe it started after I disconnected a car audio cable. I eventually tried some headphones. I removed the headphones and again nothing. I also used an audio cable for my car. After removing it the built in speaker sound was back. I thought the phone was fine but a few days later the same thing happened again. I tried the car audio cable and the sound did not come back. I tried some headphones and the sound came back. Totally random and very annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this? I really don't want to exchange my phone.
If I exchange my phone do they wipe it while you are in the store?
Are you plugging/unplugging the cables/phones while music is playing? There is some kind of quirky circuit in WP that will pause/mute sound when you plug something in while playing. Have seen this happen on both my Surround and L900. Try plugging/unplugging when music is paused and see what happens. Also, if you are using any kind of case, make sure the audio jack is fully seated.

Awesome. Thanks. I'll pay attention to what I'm doing the next time and see if your suggestion helps. I just don't want to exchange the phone if there isn't a reason to.
Possible jack problem
Alternatively, though, it could be a bad jack that makes only marginal physical contact when a plug is removed. If so, you have little to worry about with a warranty exchange. Just make sure you've sync'ed your phone to Zune on your PC, and your contacts/calendar to an Exchange or Windows Live account. You can wipe your phone yourself under Settings/About/More/Reset. About the only elements that won't be retained for a new phone once you've set up those Live and Exchange accounts are contact groups, settings, and old SMS messages.

Just wanted to know whether you managed to sort your problem out ?
Having the same problem on one day old lumia, but found that I press the edge of the glass between the windows logo and search button the sound returns.
I believe there is a loose connection at the bottom of the screen with regards to the sound speaker

Sorry. Swapped phones because of purple screen. Sound did come back. Not sure what actually worked.
My four day old Lumia did the same thing. I would press on the bottom of the phone and sound did come back while I was holding it. I slapped the back of the Lumia against my thigh (near the speaker) and sound came back. I am definitely taking it back soon.
I had the same problem w/my Lumia 900. I chopped off the end of a cotton swap (the kind with the paper shaft) and dipped it into some alcohol. I inserted the beheaded swab into the headphone jack and twisted it around slowly and eventually the speaker started working. I guess it though I still had headphones plugged into it and it muted the speakers.
bump. i'm having this same issue. Wish I would've read thsi before hand as the car headphone connector was in my friend's car. any more ways to work around this?
Just called AT&T...they're sending a replacement phone. It's frustrating though because I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software defect. I would hate if in a year when my warranty expires, I do the same thing on accident and can't get it replaced. I couldn't even receive calls with the phone after plugging it into the car audio. So hopefully this thread will be a good warning to anyone with a lumia not to plug it into the car stereo unless you want your speakers to blow.

Simply press on the glass... What the... You saved my mum's phone~~
I've had cell phones for over 20 years and have never broken one... till now. I left my GS3 (i747) in my pants pocket and my wife washed them. I took it apart, dried it out, then cleaned it (I was amazed at the amount of corrosion). After putting it back together, everything worked except for the microphones. All the person on the other end could hear was static and crackling, and that was all I get when using Voice Recorder. It works fine with a headset for calls, however. I replaced the microphones but still have the same issue. I also have the same issue if I disconnect the connector for the headset jack so I assume the problem is in the logic board. I also tried it with the new microphones removed just in case I might have messed them up.
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? How about what the highlighted device on the attached pic of the logic board is that looks kinda like a microphone, i.e. metal can with a small hole in it?
Thanks
Hello, I have replaced the screen and housing on my LG Nexus 5x which went OK.
However, I now have no audio from the loud speaker under certain situations. I have replaced the earpiece (I now don't think this was anything to do with it) and headphone jack to no avail but have narrowed it down to the lower back plate (the bit you screw in over the headphone jack). Sounds through the headphones work correctly BTW.
When the back is pressed on very lightly the speaker works. (so the pogo pins connect to the cover/speaker). However, when you click the plastic on speaker cuts out. My guess is something gets pushed in too far so something either loses contact or makes contact that shouldn't.
Any thoughts/ideas most welcome. I've made a little video to illustrate what I mean: drive.google dot com /file/d/1CU37Fvrq2NfL6WKNS0sn0ssw_3s-BWx1/view
same here after battery replacement
Although i have purchased a new speaker still no sound out of it.
pressing the back did not work on either part.
any suggestions?
