Thanks though,I will report back

You should have googled "htc evo replacement speaker", not "went out", that doesnt make any sense, where did it go out to?

Try googlin something that way. For instance "I hate the droid x" (<<lol) and it will pull up results with threads of people stating that. I was trying to find threads where people's speakers "went out" (messed up) to see if anyone pointed them towards a good reliable place to get a replacement speaker and too see if anyone could confirm the realibility of that place selling the speaker. That is why I googled it that way

I just ordered one for a friend of mine's Evo last week on eBay. It cost me $4 including shipping from a US seller and it arrived at my house in a few days.

The Hero uses the same speaker.... This might make it easier to find. You could always go to your local Sprint store and have it replaced for free. (Since you have TEP right?)

Mic problem

So my note 2 mic is not working . Only speakerphone and bluetooth work. My question is is the mic easy to replace? Is it part of the motherboard or seperate? If its seperate anyone have a broken note 2 willing to sell? Is it weird that speakerphone works and not regular method of talking on a phone? Any help would be great. And by the way no voice apps work either ie google svoice etc. Thanks

What's funny is that if the speaker phone is working. Then in theory the Mic should b good. Because it uses the same one! I agree with the above poster, if your running a custom Rom I would go back to stock to see if that fixes your problem. Another thing I would look at is if the Mic, is clogged up with lint/dust. It happen to my brother's daughter phone. Called me saying her phone don't work, can't here her talking!! Cuz I'm the tech guy of the family, told her to try and clean out her Mic. After that she called her dad now he can here her fine.
Just my 2¢

Thanks for your help. I am on stock rom. Already faxtory reset. And tried to clean the mic hole. I'm out of ideas and don't want to take this phone apart. I use the bluetooth but it's driving me crazy.

I forgot to mention I bought this phone used and have no paperwork . So I cant do warranty I dont think.
I bought it from cl and it worked fine for a few days . Before you say I got ripped off I only paid 100 cash + a galaxy s1. So even with the 25 $ mic still came out clean . Phoneis mint except non working mic .

I work for a cell phone retailer as a repair technician and warranty repair is free lol. I can see any manufacturer charging for shipping though, unless you complain enough. The warranty follows the device not the phone number

Well after over a month I finally got my note 2 back. .. They sent it back to me broken so I sent it back and finally got it yesterday. They replaced the pba which is the mother board ... It works great and glad to be back

Sorry to revive this thread, but I'm having the same issue. Completely stock, mic works with speakerphone and obviously bluetooth, but not on normal calls.
Thoughts?

Cracked my screen and have to return to T-mobile.....

So I went to work today and forgot my phone was in my jacket pocket when I went to roll it up to stash on my bike(HD) and when I went to retrieve it I pulled it out with a cracked screen. The entire bottom 2/3 of the screen/touch screen does not work at all. I am able to boot into recovery/download mode to restore it back to stock via odin before I return it BUT will that also reset my flash counter as well so that my deeds go undetected?

Because it won't be a warranty claim, you have to file an insurance claim. I would dunk it in the sink full of water before sending it back until it is completely ruined and they can't boot it either....

It doesn't matter if its rooted for an insurance claim. Only when your doing a warranty exchange.

You could have just claimed it stolen, and you wouldn't be required to send anything back. It's the same deductible, so what's the difference?
You could have kept the other one for parts(camera, headphone jack, etc)

If you are going thru insurance don't worry about it.
That would be considered damage to the phone anyway.
Root is just not covered under regular warranty.
Not once have I seen a insurance claim issue for being rooted.

Awesome then I won't even worry about messing with it, ill just wipe it and send it as is.
On the other side of things I purchased an insurance policy through squaretrade for my phone. It is half the cost of T-mobiles insurance(11.99/month vs. 5.95/month) and offers the same if not better protection than T-mobile and the deductible is only $99 vs. the $175 I paid T-mobile/Asurion. The only downside from what I see is they try and repair your phone rather than replace it, which it says is guaranteed in 5 days or it's free! Hopefully I never need to use it or find out, but if I do I guess I can live without my phone for that long. Lol

I personally prefer repairs over replacement devices. Replacements aren't new, they are factory refurbished.
And to answer your question in the OP, flashing back to stock via Odin will not wipe your counter. Triangle away is needed for that

Funny you say that because the S4 they sent me was new in the box, I was expecting a refurbished phone as well. Guess the phone just hasn't been out long enough to refurbish them lol. And that's what I thought, no way to do that with the touch screen out lol. Guess they get it back rooted, I won't lose any sleep over it. Haha

Refurbished

Hi guys, after having a faulty Note 3 for about a month I have requested a new phone from Tmobile.
They have promised me a "Like New" device, not refurbished.
But I do not really trust them, I have a feeling like even my phone is not new.
I know that there must be a way to check if my phone is new or refurbished. I have 4.3 android installed.
All the standard codes do not work ... ##786# etc .... can anyone help? Maybe point me to some app?
P.S.
Nova launcher did not help either.
Thank you.

after a month, yes you're getting a refurbished device. new exchange is 14 days or less, everyone knows that. stop worrying if its refurbished, if it works better than your last one then all is fine... just focus on testing the replacement and make sure that it works for you. if it works fine then move on. its a refurbished replacement. its replacing your damaged device.
it'll be fine

My whole question is how to test the new device ....
Just regular check ... ? Or maybe there is some kind of an app.
And I do not think its fair that I should get a refurbished device if I received a bad one since day one.

No app can test a phone like fully. It is under warranty. Plus you won't have it long enough. Just enjoy it

Bastards sent me a refurb phone, basically i lost 400 bucks in value for nothing.
Also it has a minor scratch on the screen and the S-Pen doesnt get out without a fight. I have requested another one.
NEVER WILL I BUY PHONES ONLINE.

any phone you get from tmobile from exchangers are going to be refurbs. I got one but I'm not complaining. This refurb is better than my new one. No more Unstable wifi. And it can handle being uv so much better
Also all the S pens are hard to get out. It will get easier over time.
As for the scratch call and *****. They will replace it

Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

I wonder if I got a refurb when I bought my note from mobile. I had an issue with the phone not wanting to boot after pulling the battery and replacing. I didn't notice this until months after. I recently left tmobile for straight talk so I couldn't take it back to them. So I decided to send into Samsung even though I tripped Knox. They fixed it (according to the service website) and its on its way back. I'll test out out to make sure, then sell it.

Another point: Refurbished phones are 90 days warranty while normal ones 1 year...

Speaker buzzing

Just a heads up if anyone else has this problem. My speaker started buzzing. It would happen only at certain frequencies but always when hearing a dial tone with the speaker phone on at full volume. I brought it to Verizon and they send me a replacement. Of course, the replacement was a certified used and not brand new, wasn't exactly happy about that.

Oh, hmm I never thought of that. I figured I had to do it through Verizon. I actually still haven't sent back the phone I wonder if it's worth trying to warranty repair it at this point.
Will HTC care that it's unlocked and rooted? Do they provide a loaner?

You have to follow the steps in the Return to Stock S-on thread but you can leave your phone s-off. They won't provide a loaner but mine was in for camera repair and it took 5 days total. I would do an online chat to see if the speaker issue is covered.

Great, thanks for the info.

So, turns out the refurbished phone I got from Verizon had a purple camera...Decided not to stick with it and kept my original for warranty repair. Took them about a week to get it back to me. Unfortunately, they automatically upgraded it to 4.4 so now I can't root it. UGH. I contacted them after and said they would not downgrade the software. I guess this is a warning for others looking to have their speakers or other work done.

Woohoo! Back to rooted, unlocked, and s-off! Glad I made the decision to go with the HTC warranty repair. Nice to have the original phone I purchased and not something in an unknown state of quality.
