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.
I am not happy at all abuot the sound quality its too low, so I contacted them and ther reply is:
Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. With regards to your inquiry, Please note that we didn’t receive any problems with HTC desire volume ,however you can search over android market for a 3rd party application to raise the device’s volume Thank you once again for your continued patronage. Best regards
anyone know any apps k and r u happy with the volume , please contact theme if your not let theme know about this issu
Thanks
You aren't very clear. Is your problem the quality or the volume? And is your phone branded or not? Branded phones are sometimes limited in volume.
i am not happy about the low handsfree rear speaker volume either. the phone ear piece speaker is ok volume wise. but the handsfree speaker is pretty crap and might probably take the crown for the worst handsfree speaker on the market. i have two desire phones and both are the same. loads of similar complaints on many forums (moneysavingexpert, avforums, three blog and others). htc must be having the heads in the sand if they havent heard about it. i think it is a deliberate denial of an obvious poor handsfree speaker, htc had some chap called dave who said he was following the posts on three blog and replied about poor stocks etc so HTC is aware about this issue, they are just dishing out denials or htc tech guys need to have their ears checked ASAP.
just put anyother phone or media player next to the htc desire and play the same sound / music via all the devices and htc desire will most probably take the crown for having the poorest rear speaker. at high volumes (which one needs anyway if one wants to hear in anywhere where the background noise is present) there is a lot of treble noise. on my archos 605 if i keep half the volume, for the same clip i wont get as good a volume on my desire at full volume. it is pretty easy to miss the notifications when out and about because one didnt hear the notifications.
the poor volume is obvious while using google navigation. while tomtom 760T has a great volume, but when i use the desires speakers for navigation voice, i have to keep the music off and can get tricky in busy traffic as sometimes the volume isnt enough or is barely enough. this might not be a problem when using car stereo with bluetooth but my car stereo does not have bluetooth or an input socket in the front as it is a few years old car.
the notifications volume must be with some internal settings i canty access as i have tried adjusting everything but it does not make a difference, or much of it. but the new yahoomail app i got from the market has a much much better volume that is easily audible. for the other notifications i downloaded the 'car mode' app that makes the notifications louder by using the rear speaker, i guess otherwise it uses the earpiece speaker by default, hence the low volume for the notifications. the volume is ok when inside and when it is quiet but just not enough when out and about. i didnt have a problem with speaker volumes with any of my handsets in the last decade, i am just adding that my ears are fine as they get checked by occupational health at work!

Thanks 4 your reply
I decided to sell My phone,Its useless as a media player
No support no update Thank You HTC
I bought 2 HTC Desire phones for me & my wife. Both of them have the most lowest & weakest speakerphones I have witnessed in any phone over the last 10 years. Even the regular flip phones which are not smartphones had the good quality speakerphones for conference. It's a shame having such a Flagship phone with pathetic speakerphone.
I called HTC customer service and though I already new their scripted answer I still asked 'Is it a known issue?'. There reply was what I expected. Complete Denial. 'No, this is the first time we are hearing it.' What a joke. I told him to do some google and check the forums. I also complimented him for lying so well.
He asked me to do soft reset, hard reset and do factory reset which would wipe out all data. Simply put they were giving me a run around & wasting my time so I stopped him right there that son I have already done that.
He transferred me to their Repair department, who turned out to be Telus customer service and they said since it's a new phone you have a 1 year warranty, take your phone to the store you bought it from with the receipt and they'll replace it. I asked what if the replaced phone also have the same problem then what are my options. She said you need to discuss it with the store from where you bought it from, they can let you have another phone but you can't break the 3 year contract.
Dealing with the phones issue is frustrating enough and on top of that frustration caused by the absolute denial by HTC's customer service & not providing a solution is totally unacceptable. I'm selling my HTC Desire on ebay and probably buy the Nokia N8.
Sometimes all what a customer needs is an apology and admission that yes we are not crazy, there is a known issuee with the phone and they'll fix it. But they are following on the footsteps of Apple who literally made their customers feel like they are crazy when they reported about iphone 4 antenna issues. Shame on Apple for telling them that they are not holding the phone properly as if dealing with ignorant kids. Such behavior isn't expected from such large and reputable corporations. Nokia on the other hand makes the best phones and admit their problems and fix them.
What do expect from a tiny rear speaker?? If you want decent sound then plug in some speakers!!
Or are you the annoying twats who play music when in public?

To be fair, I also have a T-Mobile Pulse Mini as a backup phone, and the internal speaker is way, way, better than the one on the Desire.
IMHO, the Desire's speak is "ok", if you want to take/make a handsfree call whilst sitting at your desk, but is worse than useless if you are in a car - for both taking calls and satellite navigation. I do have bluetooth handsfree, so it is less of an issue for me personally, but given the price of the phone I think they could've made the internal speaker a little higher quality.
Regards,
Dave
But the phone isn't a media player in the traditional sense, you wouldn't watch a film on it without headphones...given, it could be a bit louder for the navigation side of things but I've got Sat Nav for that...

I wouldn't only because it would sound terrible from the external speaker. If it sounded better, it is something that I might well do.

Desires loudspeaker is a disgrace even a £5 mobile phone loudspeaker is better.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
The headphone volume is really low on my desire (stock t-mobile rom) even with hi end noise cancelling headphones and volume at max (am told this is a problem with the t-mobile rom), now I use mixzing which has a gain and graphic for music. It is almost imposible to watch a film while on the underground tho, which is really annoying me, am waiting to see if the froyo update fixes this, if not I will root and change to unbranded rom.

you don't need to root to DE-BRAND your device really
Personally, I've never had a problem with the speaker volume on my Desire, its a lot louder than my my old iPhone, if a bit tinny.

I meant a stock htc rom without the volume issue.
Hey guys.
Last week I broke my earphone jack plug's tip inside the earphone socket, my loudspeaker was working at that time and that was the only way I could make or receive calls cause the phone jack was stuck inside and the all sound was being sent to my earphone, so I ordered a replacement part for the jackplug and loudspeaker. I cracked the phone open and disconnected that part so I could use the phone's normal speaker while I waited for the replacement part to arrive. When it arrived I connected it and now I can use my earphones again but the loudspeaker doesn't work, not even with the old part, I must add that I used a little bit of plastic to avoid the connection of the loudspeaker and earphone plug to the board.
Can that connection be damaged? but if it is why do I get sound from the earphone but not the loudspeaker? doesn't it use the same connection?
thanks in advance

My microphone has now given up. The person on the other side is not able to hear me completely.
The service centre guy is saying that I have to give approx 14000-15000 Rs(approx $235) to get a new refurbished phone. The outside market failed to repair it (some are asking upto 5000 for it and dont know the name of the set... idiots , and one of them even scratch and broke the display near the mic )
So I just want to confirm that if I just replace the mic flex cable i.e
http://www.maxbhi.com/flex-cable-for-sony-xperia-zl-c6502.html
will it solve the problem or there is something more to it?
Please Help!!!!!
Or is there any method to swap the primary and secondary mic functions
If this is so cheap (Rs.423), I think you should buy it and get a good a good mobile repair guy to simply swap it with this one in front of you. Pay only the labour cost to him. But get a good repairman who has experience in repairing costly phones, (iPhone repairman preferably) so that he won't **** up your device. Just my 2cents. Good luck mate.
I was asking just to get assure that changing this would fix the problem...
BTW finding that part was much easier than a good repairman as one of the good repairman has broken the front glass near the microphone
Hello everybody,
I have a problem with the jack.. ( OnePlus 3 OxygenOS 5.0.1 )
Earlier functioned jack normally, but now when I plug my headphones, it only plays left earpiece
And when i plug stereo jack from my home theather , jack working NOT. I tried more stereo jacks and headsets and same issue.
Solution ?
1/ Other ROM
2/ Jack is broken - buy new jack flex board from ebay, ali and replace it
3/ Phone is in warranty, write on support.
4/ Someone reduction
Do you have any solutions ?
Thank you.
Either every cable in your home is faulty or your jack is broken. First check if there is something stuck in there somewhere (dirt? a little pocket dirt thingy the ones that look like tiny balls I don't know what they're called) then if there is nothing you should consider sending the device to OnePlus to get a replacement or a repair (probably a repair). You could try to do it yourself and it's very easy to do but I wouldn't recommend it because it's very easy to damage other things while trying to fix a thing.

As the other member pointed out, it may be a simple matter of lint inside the jack. Blow air forcefully and try to remove it. If it doesn't solve the problem, I would not advice opening it since the phone is under warranty. Contact OP3 for RMA.
