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:

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

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.
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1706
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?
Hi all,
to my great frustration, I've discovered that my SGS2 line-out / headphones jack seems to have a slack joint, i.e. if you turn a connected plug around its long axis, a crackling sound is heared in the speakers and at some angular positions the stereo signal will be reduced to mono (i.e. one speaker gos silent). With one device (mobile outdoor speaker) I even had no sound at all at when inserting the plug with the wrong "orientation".
Did anybody experience the same problem or am I just out of luck here?
I am wondering whether sending back the device to the retailer (Amazon) or directly to Samsung (I'm situated in Germany) will yield the faster round-trip time, any experiences here?
Thanks!
PS: I know this may be a stupid question but can somebody PLEASE tell me how to search for multiple keywords with AND logic in this forum? Tried "+word +word" and "word AND word" (without the quotes) but nothing seems to work.
Are you using the headphones that came with it? My better half went through 4 sets of the stock samsung headphones with her original Galaxy S and all produced the same issue of losing one channel after a matter of days/weeks. having the jack inserted to about 2/3rds is a workaround but not ideal as you still lose some frequencies and it's insecure... They're just a bit pony.
No, I used different kind of headphones, including Sennheiser in-ear headphones and a standard male-male audio jack connected to some bigger hifi system. With some jacks I did not encounter the problem, but most of them lost some part of the signal with some orientations: I persume that the manufacturing tolerance of the jacks also plays a role...
Anyway, it's definitely not a problem of the jacks but of the device since I tried it with the SGS2 of a friend yesterday and it worked with the same jack that made problems with my device.
I will proceed sending my phone to Samsung for repair, I hope that won't take to long *sad looking*, I am so used to it now, it's card to survive to weeks without it.
I had the same problem, all I had to do was insert headphones cable "HARDER" into the audio jack until I herd a "click" sound.
I was way to over protective of this phone when i first had it, and wanted to handle too much with care, forced the dam cable in, and "click", sounded like it snapped into place, the audio worked correctly without cracking noise or without the need to wiggle to cable get clearer sound.
Perhaps your friends SGS2 is already used to headphone being inserted, but yours not. Just add a little pressure until you hear clip into place.
If this doesnt help, then repair or return.
Thanks for the hint, but unfortunately I had the jack inserted to the very end, so this was not the problem... sent in for repair now, let's see what happens.
I have a fix for you i think!!!!!!!!
ok . when i got my s2 like 4 days ago (at&t usa version) i noticed that when i plugged into my aux cable in my car that it was low sound cracking more volume on the left side , very annoying . NOW FOR A SIMPLE FIX FOR SOME TO TRY! PLUG IT IN ALL THE WAY! i noticed when plugging it in i wasnt fully plugging it in . it should go all the way down FULLY! the sound is perfect once this is done . I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU !!!!!! good luck
I'm having a problem hearing music using ear Buds / headphones and was wondering if anyone else was having this issue on titan. The sound goes real dull almost like non-stereo and I have to hold where the 3.5 mm jack is and wiggle the earbuds to get a clear sound. I bought new skoal candies and tried 3 other pairs so I'm guessing its my phone but was curious if anyone else was having this issue.
Thx
from Titan on XDA Windows Phone 7 App
ear buds and the like
It might just be your 3.5 mm connection...I tried mine out just now (I had not added music to my Titan previously) and plugged in and was very very pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. I had surmised for myself that my PDA was for phone and calendar etc, and the iPod or other MP3/4 player for audio - mostly for quality of sound. I won't make that mistake again. The Titan is good - very good.

DId you use IE while listening to Music? I don't have any problems with Music playback (Used it to listen to my music collection during work hours whole last week) However I noticed that when I launch IE (search, or by launching IE on its own) sound quality suddenly changes, and degrades..

Hm, I think it has something to do with bluetooth stereo vs headset profile. Weird that it happens with regular ear buds.
Sent from my PI39100 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I think its defective, I'm going to call ATT tomorrow and have it replaced because I have to hold where the earbuds fit into the 3.5 connecter and put a little bit of pressure to get the sound to come thru. I'm glad to hear no one else is having an issue so thats good
I'm having issues too.
I had problems with my audio jack too. I was looking on here to see if anyone else had issues. At first, I thought that I had a failing headset but then I put another one in and after awhile it started doing the same thing. It's not right away but it seems to start up after a bit. It's really concerning me though. I'm considering getting a replacement and hope this is just a minor issue that affects a few units. I don't want to wait and have it develop into a bigger issue. It frustrates me though, because I had originally bought a focus s and the hands free button didn't work right. It seemed like an issue with the way it registered button presses. Now, I get this phone and the button works right but I'm having these audio issues. Argghh.
I don't have a problem with any earbuds , every one i tried works for me. It might just be your phone itself. maybe deffective? If i was you i would try regular ipod headphones or a friends to see if that really is the problem
hi all, question about the volume sensitivity on the titan. i used to have an iphone 3gs then switched to the skyrocket to try out android but i'm really unhappy with the android music players so i'm either going to trade it in for the iphone 4s or the htc titan (still within the 30 day period).
on my iphone i could set the max volume to wherever i wanted and would have plenty of intermediate volumes to get the level right where i want it.
however, with the skyrocket by the time i hit the 3rd volume level (0=mute, 1= up volume button pressed once) the volume physically hurts my ears and i like loud music.
i'm using the stock headphones that came with my iphone 3gs because i like the fit and the in-line remote. i know these have low resistance but still, only having 2 usable volume settings is ridiculously annoying because i can only listen to music really softly or a bit louder than where i want it to be.
how do you guys feel the volume sensitivity is on the titan? are there more than 2-3 acceptable volume levels for low-resistance (small earbud) headphones? thanks!
i use the included earbuds and the 30 level volume settings seem to fit most situations
Replace it since you're within the 30 days. I got a new one and the issue is cleared up, I had a defective unit. Very happy with it now
I am completely new to this so please forgive my ignorance. First question, is the T-Mobile G2 Touch the same as the T-Mobile G2 Vision? Because I am having trouble with my G2 Vision. Let me describe the situation. My phone suddenly began having problems. Mainly, it's ear-speaker makes no sound when I send or receive calls, even though plugging in an ordinary pair of earbuds allows me to hear the person speaking. At the same time the mic is affected, because the caller cannot hear me either. However, if I turn on the Speaker option during the call, the outer speaker and mic work properly. The normally loud outer speaker, however, is no longer working if I try to play music on my phone, though it works if I plug in the aforementioned earbuds. (It can make sounds though, because it beeps when I put the phone's volume settings all the way up.) The really strange thing though, is that as soon as I plug in my earbuds my music starts playing. Now, I already tried a factory reset and it didn't work. But before I did the reset, I had another music program on my phone as well, and as soon as I would plug in my earbuds, both music programs would start playing; the one that came with the phone normally, the one I had installed glitching. I really couldn't find any information that fit all these factors and since I know you guys are the experts, I came to you for help. Anyone know what the real problem is and how I can fix it? I would really appreciate any help you could give me.
you wrong section !! This forum htc hero G2,
and not G2 Vision T-Mobile(htc Desire)
Hello,
Here is my problem: Suddenly for no reason at all, the R earbud stopped working. My thought was: "Oh well, it happens with earphones", after that i bought some earphones without microphone which had much more clearer sound, and both of earbuds (R&L) worked well, untill few days ago, suddenly the right one (R), drop dead. I thought that it was again earphone problem, but I've tried to put them to my laptop, stereo, etc. and they worked just fine. So, I thought:"It must be audio jack problem". And it was, because now only left one works, and I must twist earphone plug in a strange way for both of earbuds to work but it is impossible to me to hold them all the time like that.
My brother has also galaxy S3, so I borrowed his original Samsung earphones and I didn't have to twist them or bend them. They just worked fine, both of earbuds. So I've done some searching over the internet and I've learned that it could be some contact problem in jack, that one contact is loose. My question is, how to fix that fast and cheap, because I'm cheap and lazy bastard. I would like to know if there is any solution to my problem so i won't have to go to Samsung service. I've seen that there are replacement parts for audio jack + speaker on eBay, any experiences with that?
Best regards!
