Hello All,
The loud speaker and headphone jack wont work on my T-989 after taking a dip in a lake. Besides those two things the phone completely works after drying it out. After finding out that the headphones and speaker were not working I tried to clean out the circuit board with isopropyl alcohol. Didn't help or hurt anything. I then tried replacing the speaker with a working one from another phone without any luck.
I was thinking that the sound board might have gone out the the dip into the lake but you can still hear voice during calls. Anyone have any ideas what should be done. Is it time for a new motherboard? or is there something else I can do first?
Thanks All.

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!

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
Hello all
I'm hoping for some thoughts/ advice. I managed to put my phone in the wash with my clothes, great - pulled it out after a few minutes so it didn't do the whole cycle . That was a month ago. Its been in the rice, its completely dry and it works perfectly amazingly APART from sound. There is no speaker and no microphone either and the earphones don't work either. I do get a crackle from the main speaker when it starts but its very short. The vibrate works, screen, charging, screen, sim - everything.
I've pulled it apart several times and removed what looked like some corrosion residue from the charger area and the camera. Ear speaker looks fine. The main speaker looks fine. My question is, is it worth me buying a new speaker, earphone jack and ear speaker or does it sound like its pretty much screwed?
thanks for your time
It's probably not the speaker but the electronics that run it. Amp / preamp ect.
The 3.5mm jack on my Elephone P8000 has already stopped working properly after only one day. It just stopped working in one ear and I tried wiggling the 3.5mm plug it a bit to see if that would bring the sound in both ears back and I felt something click a little when I tried pushing the plug down, it sounded like I pushed something further down. The wiggling helped for like one second but after that tiny click, I couldn't bring the sound back in both ears. When I do wiggle the 3.5mm plug, the sound gets louder in the ear that it already works in.
hello unfortunately have the same problem I am communicating with my salesperson , I hope you can help
same thing here, due to bad soldering, fixed it by soldering it myself
+1 also. I couldn't see where it needed soldering. Glass is coming off as well. probably can't send it back because I opened it. Would be too much hassle anyway. But that's the risk when not purchasing from a bricks and mortar shop..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you tell me where you soldered it exactly? I soldered it too. It improved the overall sound but it is still only on one ear.
I have the same problem. Could someone make a tuturial to fix this problem?

a little fix-tut ... for me too complicate
My headphones pull out of my audio jack very easily, too easily. I also tried cleaning out my audio jack too, but it didn't help very much. Any suggestions on what to do about this problem. Anybody else experiencing this?
Are you using a case or does it also happen when you don't use one?
It happens even when I don't use one.
This happened to me too quite recently, was really bummed since the phone was going really well for almost 2yrs, turns out it was just lint from my pocket building up in the jack and getting mashed in by the 3.5mm plug. Got a toothpick and pulled it out in a clump, hasn`t missed a beat since. Of course the other problem could be the headphones themselves, try to replicate the issue with another set if you can and if they`re an expensive headphone you can re-terminate them or have an electronics store do it for you!
