[HW][XS] Speaker & Sim card holder problem - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hello, sorry for the wall of text.
Since August I' ve had a problem concerning the internal speaker, where extreme buzz would appear during music, calling and ringing, in irregular times. At first, tapping the back and/or pressing the back plate firmly would solve the problem for a short time. Frustrated, I opened the back plate and tried to raise the speaker contact legs a bit, this helped only for a day, then the buzzing reappeared. Opened the backside second time, and accidentally cut the ribbon cable for the sim holder and nfc. rendering SIm cards useless.
Afterwards, I sent the phone to a repair shop, and bought the new spare parts, which are sim card holder and internal speaker.
The thing is, the buzz is still there, as the repairman says, and now the phone, while recognises sim card, cannot connect to network...
What could have gone wrong? Can anyone elaborate on my problem? Thank you.
P.S My phone used the .96 FW with Zultra framework and lots of addons, which worked perfect before I wrecked the ribbon cable.
Update: Phone can connect to network properly now, but sound problem remains. Both the internal speaker, the earpiece and the microphone have a buzzing sound. What could it be? Please help me, since I don't have the phone for nearly 2 weeks.

Please, someone with an opinion?

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!

[Q] Ear piece suddenly not working anymore

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 :/

[Q] Speakerphone ON after everyboot

I am facing a unique problem. After my desire upgrade to Gingerbread and then to runnymede 2.3.5, my phone speakerphone automatically gets ON after any restart. I am not able to use it as normal phone during calls since speaker and mic not available. I found one solution for that, i have to plugin external microphone jack to remove that icon/ speakerphone mode.
Any suggestion why it is happening. Is it software problem of hardware?
It's not unique, your issue may be related to Car Mode. If you have used some 3'rd party chargers, they might have damaged your phone's microUSB plug, shorting some pins and making the phone believe it's sitting in a car craddle. My GF had the exact same problem with her Desire, which i fixed by gently cleaning the phone's USB plug with a soft toothbrush.
Certainly, it can also be a software issue, thus you should try changing ROMs first and see if the problem persists.
Thank you so much "Mr. TVTV" for your early reply. and thanks for your suggestion. It works for me. I seems problem sortout by viping usb port with brush. Tried two reboots and satisfied. Thanks again
Glad i could help!

Water damage, repairable?

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

[Q] Headphone jack issues (hardware)

about 5 months ago, I started having a strange issue with my note. I would plug in the headphone jack and all I would get would be a very distorted, quiet version of whatever was playing. if I would tap the phone on the back, it would come across clear. Eventually, this stopped working. I replaced the headphone jack module completely. Immediately I noticed the problem again. I have taken the phone apart several times to check the physical connection of the unit to the board. It is getting to the point that I have to strike the phone against my leg or a desk pretty hard before it will start to play clear. I have secured the unit with tape, cleaned the contacts on both sides and used 2 new modules to try and fix the issue. I can find no information on this in a search.
Anyone have this issue? or any ideas?
