I just dropped the sound button for the phone. I don't know where it is, but is there somewhere that sells them?
You dropped the sound button? Say what? It's attached to.the phone, well, the up/down tab can fall out when you disassemble the phone but other than that......I don't know of any place that would sell that part. Call HTC support. See if they have it...

Smashed my screen so replaced it, but when I snapped back the case I broke the volume control so now it does not connect to the switch, anyone know where to get one?
Thanks,
Neil.
I recently noticed that the ring tone on my phone keeps cutting out. It has now completely died such that there is now no sound coming from the phone speakers at all. The phone does not ring, there is no music coming from the speakers and no notification tone. The only way i know the phone is ringing is from the vibration. If I plug a earphone into the earphone socket there is music coming from the earphones.
I initially thought it was an issue with the earphone socket thinking an earphone was still stuck in it but i never use the phone for music so never use it with earphones and there is no earphone symbol on the phone.
I have backed it up and done a hard reset to no avail (using Rom 3.73.405.5) and confirmed that the ring tone and music volumes are on full.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or can I sadly assume the phone is dead.
Regards y'all

It seems like your internal speaker/ringer inside the phone may be damaged and needs to be replaced. Either a warranty job or replace it yourself if you know what you are doing.
I was afraid of that. The phone is out of warranty but i wouldn't mind attempting a repair. Would you know if there are any manuals or guidelines available?

Not that I know of but this vid might help. They're quite straight forward to disassemble, more so than most HTC's out there!! I'm not sure where you might get a new speaker but maybe E-bay as part of a housing or back chasis?
Good Luck.
Strangely enough, I just had the exact same thing happen to me today. My rear speaker just died, so that I don't hear the phone ring or the notifications. There's no music or keypad sounds, and speakerphone doesn't work. The earpiece works just fine, and if I use headphones I can hear everything, but the speaker in the back of the phone seems to have completely died.
Some questions, if anybody's able to answer them:
I'm using a Telus Hero on AT&T here in the US. Can I still take advantage of the warranty? If so, is this even covered by the warranty? If not, does anybody know of a good place to buy a replacement part so I can replace it myself? Is the part for the CMDA (Sprint) Hero the same speaker?
As for the disassembly of it, I found this thread on HTCPedia that provided a download of HTC's service manual for the Hero.

Update: Thanks to the power of Google search, I've answered one of my questions. I found this website that sells replacement parts for a whole lot of different phones, including the Hero.
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-HERO-s/5502.htm
I can't vouch for the website at all, I just found it on Google, but at least it might save somebody else the trouble of searching for it.
Exactly the same thing happened to me too..... one day the speaker started crackling, soon after no sound was coming from the external speaker :-(
I opened up the Hero, and there didn't seem to be much dust, an everything looked ok (nothing burnt out or broken)
bjg222, thanks for the links, I was so close to ordering from that website, when I found a Hero on eBay being sold for parts. I missed out on the middle section (with the speaker), so was going to go back and order from global direct parts
Then, bored one day, I thought I'd check out YouTube, even though I had no sound. A few seconds into the first video, the speaker started crackling to life! The video ended with broken sound, so I loaded up another vid, and inexplicably the speaker started working fine!!!
I have no idea how this happened, or what was wrong with it for 3 weeks, but now it is working again, and has been for over a week now.
Just thought I'd let you guys know..... there is hope!
same thing has happened to me.. no sound yet headphones and earpiece work just fine.
the site mentioned above for parts doesnt seem to have a cdma hero speaker.. just the gsm version which doesnt look the same. the hero speaker actually resembles the evo speaker from what i can tell. anyone know for sure?
Today I've replace broken digitizer in my mega. Unfortunately during disassembling process I've domaged sound buttons wires. Is there any possible way to repair that or buy new one (I think that in that case I must buy complete buttons with wire) but where I can get something like that?
Chekc on ebay, maybe they have it. I think you have to buy the whole board...
hey guys, I see I have a problem from the damaged tape volume, so how can I make HR and enter bootloader?

Yes you can replace them by your self but then you will lose your warranty, there are replacment speakers at ebay:

The blown speaker was really bugging me last night, so I gave the back of the unit a sharp tap over that speaker. After a few crackles, that speaker just stopped working. Not sure if that means its just a loose connection, but at least the (mono) sound is clear for now....
I have the same problem:
Sometimes the left speakers seams to not handle a specific sound.
I want to change my speakers, too.
But is it possible to insert better speakers?
I want a better quality...
Had the same problem but i fixed mine by myself, had a broken cellphone (china made phone) it had the same size as the archos i just remved the busted ones tape the wires and put it all back together now it works fine
Hello all,
So my girlfriend bought a fake S5 (yes yes, buying fake things ain't smart, but it works great apart from the music.. and the battery)
Well now, when she wants to listen to music, she plugs in her earbuds and what happens is that the vocals are like too low in volume, they are echoing or just at all not being played. Unless she holds the handsfree button (that button that lets you skip songs, pick up a call, etc.) the music is just messed up.
I tried her phone with my headphones (ofcourse doesn't have a handsfree button) and it works just perfect. We bought new earbuds without handsfree button and that just does the same thing as the headphones she already had.
Now, the guy that sold her this phone told us he bought it from here:
http://www.slmart.com/sdp/1258442/4...msung_galaxy_s5_mobile_phone_copy_cell_p.html
Maybe there's somebody here that can help with this issue? Maybe it's the software or just the hardware? I'm convinced it has something to do with the phone's software, but there is so little to be found about this phone that I figured I'd ask it here.
Thanks in advance for helping!:fingers-crossed:
Thread van be closed, it's a hardware probleme unfortunately. When I Tried it again today the sound played good when my cable was in a certain position, we've contacted the seller trying to discover if all phones have this problem.. If so we'll just gonna have tot accept it
