Hi Everyone,
Long story short, my audio jack isn't playing sound out of the right earphone so I need to replace the jack. I don't have a warranty and 3rd party repair stores cost way too much so I'm going to do it myself. The part itself is pretty cheap, its the headphone jack, loud speaker module. My question is, does it matter which model the part is for? I can only seem to find the part for the i9300, but I'm using a i747m. Does anyone know if this part will work on any model?
Thank you for the help!

I was able to get my Kaiser after someone at my work dropped theirs and since AT&T won't cover damage they ended ordering a new one and I decided to replace the screen which was BADLY broken but otherwise worked. What I didn't know was that the contacts on the earpiece speaker were being held in be the case.
I am looking to get a replacement 'earpiece', aka conversation speaker, for my Tilt but I cannot seem to find it anywhere online including ebay. So far I have found a few repair shops that would be willing to fix it if I send it in but as I have already successfully replaced the LCD I prefer to do the work myself. Does anyone have the part they would be willing to sell me or know of a company that would sell just the part. I have a bluetooth headset but it would be REALLY helpful to have the earpiece speaker working again since windows can be flaky when it comes to answering the phone using the headset.
if your going to do the work ur self ur going to need a soldering iron and possibly an ohmmeter (electrical evice measeuring electrical resistance ect) u would need to ohm out the speaker in the phone and u might be able to use a headphne speaker if u used a resistor with a head phone to get correct ohms for the speaker to work beacause u need the same ohms or it coul draw too much or too little current from the amplifier and the battery and if that doesnt work speakers in commercial devices are usually genaric made in korea or china u could try speaker from a different phon hopefully a cheap phone, hope i helped in some way
din,
Not looking to fix the component.
I was hoping to just replace the actual component, as I am not trying to fix the broken speaker or try to fit a different speaker into my phone. If I can't find a place to buy the speaker I probably will have to get my work to but me a phone and it will likely will be a Blackberry as that is our corporate standard.
hey all, I know there is quite a few threads about the broken headphone jack issue, my left earbud wouldn't work in my phone but worked in my laptop, iPod etc.. so I ordered the replacement part and replaced it... yet the left earbud still doesn't work.. Anyone know what the issue could be or do I just have a loose wire maybe?
Thank you for any help.
Yeah, it is correct. I'd like to know if there is a possibility to add anothe or a whole two speakers to nexus 5 for stereo music :cyclops:. Yeah, it IS possible, but would it be fairly easy to do? Is there enough room to put there another speaker? Or maybe I would need to remove microphone, put it somewhere else, then rewire headphone jack wire to the additional speaker and the phone would think that I am using my headphones all the time..? Would I need a custom circuit to reroute headphone jack and still use it (amplifiers etc)? Would anybody risk their phones to get a decent stereo on their device? I don't have N5 yet, but I am planning to get it in few weeks (1 to 3 weeks). What is your opinion on this? Are there any experts in DIY electronics to help me (and probably other users) with this? Yeah, a lot of questions, but maybe someone is competent to answer these? I would be really happy Thanks

Wrong section. But good luck.
I don't think there's enough space, you don't have a stereo amplifier for the speakers and I think you'd be better off with a phone that was designed from the beginning with stereo speakers.
Also, having stereo speakers right beside each other kind of defeats the purpose. The OPO does this and there is little to no discernible separation between both the speakers on the bottom.

Exactly. It would be mono x 2 ... Though some pple don't realise different sound comes out each spker.NOT XDA readers
A WORKING APP WOULD BE NICE...
is it possible to use the top mic during calls? My s4 mini i9195 bottom mic is broken and people cant hear my voice during calls. if not, is there a software or code to remap top mic to be used in calls? Since, the last thing i will do is to go to the service center and replace the mic.
Buy small Philips screwdriver, buy new flex like this and just replace it. My girlfriend can do that so it's pretty easy - no soldiering, just take out broken part and replace it with new. If You do it right You even wont loose warranty if You buy original part.

This video will help u , incase u want to replace the mic yourself.
Anyone replace their headphone jack, and if so, where did you get the replacement from?
Apparently the G4 has an awesome setup where the jack is not soldered down, but instead uses spring-loaded contacts on a headphone jack module, so you can swap it out very easily.
My phone sometime mis-identifies a headphone as a mic+headset and immediately launches the LG voice recognition app. Pretty annoying. I think it's a hardware issue with the jack acting up, and want to swap out a new one.
Hello KingFatty, exactly, LG G4 earphone jack or even the whole device is easily to swap out. One of the reason I love to repair LG G series devices is that they're easily to take apart and reassemble. BTW, you can find the g4 earphone jack replacement here: http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g4-vs986-earphone-jack.html

Hi KingFatty, did you figure out if swapping the audio jack solved your issue? I'm having the same problem (mis-identifying a mic+headset, or even not identifying anything at all), but I was curious about your experience before touching the hardware.
