I had a strange problem on Sunday where my phone was constantly sending the * non-stop. I tried powercycling and yanking the battery, but it was relentless. The key was still 'clickable', so I decided to disassemble the device and clean the key sensor. (I had disassembled it a while back to replace the screen, so I wasn't intimidated by this procedure.) I used one of the guides on youtube to take it apart, I gently cleaned the sensor with a qtip and reassembled the phone. And it worked! No more stuck keys
Now though, I have a new problem. All conversation comes out of the speakerphone. I can turn the speakerphone on and then off, warm boot, cold boot, yank the battery, adjust the volume properties, I even reflashed the newest Ricky 6.1 rom. Still, I get all audio out of the speakerphone. As far as I can tell it also is coming from the ear speaker, but the speakerphone is loud enough that I could just as well be hearing it instead.
The question is, is this a short? I'd have a hard time seeing it to be a s/w issue after I reflashed. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm facing?
bump.
I realize I'm posting a probable hardware issue to a primarily software forum. I wasn't sure where else to go. If anyone can suggest a different forum that I could post the question at, that would be equally appreciated.

i have same problem please help
take it to service - HW fault .. or if you wish to open device I can tell you what the test points are
I agree with JSP_M
You didn't have this problem before you opened your device. You have the problem now, since you have opened your device, so that obviously means that something went wrong when you opened it.
The audio output is one line. It diverts the signal to the earpiece or the speaker. These diversions are controlled by your registry, since you have reflashed your phone, the registry will have been cleared, so that is not the problem. Plus, you claimed you hear sound in the earpiece at the same time you hear sound in the speaker, so open up your device.
Trace out the lines from the speaker and the lines from the earpiece, if you feel froggy. Then, see if anywhere that shouldn't be touching is, or if something looks brown or discolored. This indicates a short circuit. I can safely tell you though, that something is touching somewhere that is not supposed to be. Listen to JSP_M, he sounds like he has some other points of interest for you test, once you get you phone opened up.
Hope this helps. Later.

Try to call the customer service line from Tmobile and tell them your phone is defective and they should send you a new one.
The loud speaker is harnessed in the back housing of the phone and the ear speaker is harnessed in the faceplate above the LCD. The pads that they connect to aren't even close to each other and are on opposite sides of the mobo. I have repaired a lot of Dash phones and I have yet to come accross this problem. Try cleaning the pads they connect to and make sure the contacts are making a good connection. Or, if you can live without speaker phone then just remove the speaker from the housing all together.
I'm having the same problem on my Wing (Herald). But I never took it apart. In addition Activesync will no longer work. It never connects but my computer makes the 'ding' and the PPC screen lights up when I connect it so it can't be a bad usb port. It seems like a software problem to me, since it recognizes being plugged in, just not the connection.
What are the registry keys that route the audio?
how can i edit register keys
and i get new ear speaker still same problem
thank you
Send it to customer service
I once had that problem.... I sent it to customer service, and i got a new phone in 3 days. You have to pay for shipping though.

Hey guys, I just got my SGSIII and I am suffering from low speaker volume when making calls. The back speaker works fine but the front speaker is very low when I put it to my ear, even when I enable extra volume. I actually traded somebody for this phone, so I'm worried that they may have messed it up somehow and not told me. It doesn't sound like it's been blown or anything, the sound is clear and crisp however it's just extremely hard to hear the person on the other end.
Have any of you experienced similar issues and is there a potential fix? I just got the phone, so I haven't had a chance to root it and load a custom rom, but is there any chance that may fix the issue?
Hello,
I just opened my phone to change the charging port with a new one because the old one was so loose that charging the phone was a pain in the butt. And after months of waiting I finally decided to teardown my phone just like in one youtube video. I took a lot of risk and time and did everything the way I was supposed to do and I had a success! The phone booted up everything was working as normal and this usb charging port was just like a new. But sadly I started receiving SMS messages because my phone had been turned off for some time and didn't hear any sound. Most of the times it is on a vibration mode but this time it wasn't. The only thing I could hear was a little tapping noise that you can hear only once before the sound goes on and that's it. There's a vibration jsut as usual there's just no sound and it definitely is a hardware problem because I have it on my phone and also can hear the person talking through the front speaker but the bottom one is definitely not working and I have no idea why when I made everything like it was supposed to be (I guess). What do you think happened and should I open it and tear it down again? Even if I open it what am I supposed to do?
Thank you
I purchased a used Sony ZL c6506. The ZL would not boot, it would only show a steady red LED when connected to a charger. I figured out that it is likely a battery problem as the person who sold me the phone told me he was using it as a GPS when the battery drained and the phone turned off. He tried charging it and it would not charge or boot.
I replaced the battery and it booted. I upgraded from 5.02 to 5.1.1 as a test to make sure the wi-fi was working. The upgrade installed and it was running stock 5.1.1 (10.7.a.0.222). I did a factory reset from the ROM settings to clear out the previous owner's data and apps. After setting up the phone, I went to change the volume for alarm and ringtone. As I moved the volume slider around, there was no sound from the external speaker. Rear speaker doesn't work in safe mode either. Headphone jacks work properly and, when I remove the headphone plug from the phone jack while playing a song, the song pauses until I press the play button to resume playback. No matter what I do, I can't hear anything from the external rear speaker.
I took the phone apart a few times and everything looks okay. I even connected a tiny speaker and connected it directly the what I think are the speaker connections on the phone and still nothing, even when booting with boot sounds enabled in the ROM settings.
Given everything I have described, should I buy a replacement loudspeaker piece for the phone or am I just wasting my money?
Any troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
Decided to buy a replacement buzzer. Hopefully, the replacement will fix the issue; otherwise, I will have to use the phone as a media player

The speaker have a screw that needs to be tight correctly to work. here is a video on wich screw I am talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yADs4OsAXg
Got the replacement speaker and still no sound from the phone. Everything works perfectly (vibration, headphones, wifi, bluetooth, etc.) except sounds. Factory reset a couple of times and nothing.
Time to move on from this issue. Parts are too expensive to keep trying to repair it so now I have a nice media player
i had the issue with battery and speaker...turns out the battery issue is common with zl..
solution for battery:remove the battery connection to board and reconnect it...(this happens alot to me especially when im using camera)
solution for speaker: the screw on the speaker loosens for some reason and results in disconnection....i used a piece of paper to hold it tight from back
hope this helps for u
Hello Everyone,

If I push it completely inside it wont work. However if I just shake the cable little bit it works. although if the cable turns it the music stops.
P.S. Got a notification of 3.2.1 update. Will check and reply asap

I think your headphone jack might be worn off. I have tried 3 different earphones/headphones with my oneplus 3 and they all work flawlessly.
Try using a different headphone.

Do you completely push in the headphones? or do you just insert it half the way? If I push the headphones completely inside there's no sound. I have to shake the cable little bit or pull it little outside from the jack.
Also how's the battery backup? I am facing crazy standby battery drain. I havent even inserted a sim card yet.
Can I return and ask for a replacement? Does my accidental warranty become void if I ask for a replacement?
Please help!!:crying:

I completely inserted the headphone jack in. Maybe it is a hardware fault with your unit if you have tried it with different headphones and they face the same problem, or the pair you use work without any issues on other phones.
I don't experience high standby drain. It drains around 2-5 % through the night. My phone is rooted but I don't have greenify or any other battery saving apps installed. Try factory resetting your Device and see if you face the same problem.
Battery backup depends on the usage but for my usage with a lot of youtube streaming, and instant messaging, Web browsing on wifi only I get around 5-6 hours of sot. With 4g and using it for navigation and normal Web browsing and messaging I get around 4-5 hours of sot.
I am also same facing same problem with one plus 3.
