Hi my internal speaker is (almost) defect, does some one know if i can buy a speaker for my XDA? the sound works when i plug in my head-phone so it must be the speaker that is broken.
is there a (ipaq model speaker i can use ?) or what of a kind speaker do uIneed for replacing the broken speaker (is there a website i can by my speaker ? ) ?
thanx!
greetings
It may not be broken, much usage of the headset can cause a problem with the headset socket, sometimes it stays in handsfree mode. Can you be heard when speaking in to the xda mic rather than the handsfree?
One day, after I took my X10 out of silent mode, the "boop" sound for volume adjustment wasn't clear. Tried music and it was quite obviously distorted. Sound through the headphones remained perfectly clear!
Music distortion is one thing, but this makes my ringer much quieter
If the headphones are clear, it seems like it can't be the internal amplifier.
Does anybody know where a replacement speaker can be found?
if i'm not mistaken, a speaker of that size cannot possibly give you the type of sound you would find on a desktop computer.
and if i'm not mistaken as well, speakers of all phones are really horrible, compared to using the headphones. so it's a normal thing.
i believe there are speaker accessories for the x10. look at SE's global website
To clarify:
The phone had clear sound for months.
One day, the sound was distorted.
It has remained distorted, even at low volumes.
The headphone sound is still clear.
Therefore, I suspect the speaker is damaged.
I don't want external speakers, I want to hear my ringtone when I get a call!!!
(bump)
Any sources for X10 parts???
why don't you send it to se that they repair it for you ?
here is a page with spare parts:

call me crazy, but blow (using your mouth!!) into the speaker holes. My old C905 had the same thing and it turned out to be dust/sand/junk that was stuck in the speaker hole - causing the speaker to distort!
worth a shot hey!
OK, so my earpiece speaker quit working most of the time. I figured it was just a broken part, and I ordered another one. However, when the new one got here, I discovered that it required removing the screen to replace it, and also requires that tri-wing screwdriver that nobody has, so I put that job on the back burner.
Then I discovered that with the call in Speaker mode, I can hear just fine.
So, it appears the earpiece speaker is not actually broken, right? I can hear it when the phone is in speaker mode (although it's real loud... lowest volume is still louder than the loudest normal earpiece volume). So that speaker MUST be working, if I can hear it... but just not working when not in speaker mode.
In that case, does this indicate something software-fixable with the earpiece speaker?
And more on point: is there any way to force the phone to always or by default answer and make calls in speaker mode?
When the phone is in 'speaker phone' mode, the sound is coming out of the speaker on the BACK of the phone (next to the camera), not the earpiece speaker. So if you are hearing sound just fine from the speaker on the back of the phone, that would just confirm that the problem is in fact the earpiece speaker.
I've had this problem too with putting the speaker in. It took a bunch of tries to realize that you really need to make sure the speaker snaps up in there and remains tight when you put the phone back together, if it slips out a bit it wont work.
Also, it's kinda hard to figure out if you've put it in upside down, so try flipping it a couple times to see what works. Look at the dust marks for evidence of how it was originally in there.
Best of Luck!

Maybe on YOUR phone, but on MY phone, the sound is coming from BOTH the speaker on the back, AND the earpiece speaker.
I mean, I guess it is remotely possible that somehow the sound coming form the rear speaker manages to make its way to the cavity where the earpiece speaker is and sound perfect, crystal-clear, and just like the earpiece speaker should sound. I find it unlikely, but it's possible, I suppose. I don't know any way to tell.
I found an app that will put the phone in default-to-speakerphone mode (Car Mode). This works kind of ok, but the problem is that plugging in a headset doesn't override it. Of course the whole purpose of this app is to keep it from going into headset mode when you plug something into the headphone jack. I just need to have the phone simply turn on the "speakerphone" speaker when I answer or place calls in normal mode.

I agree that it's difficult to tell, but that must be what's happening. The two speakers are just half an inch apart and are only separated by a few internal components that do little to muffle sound. I don't think it's unusual that the sound would be clear when putting your ear to the front top of the phone. I definitely admit though that it's difficult to verify this -- I was trying to find an app that could play a sound directly to individual speakers one at a time but I couldn't find anything.
But, even if we assume that you're correct and the earpiece speaker works, that doesn't really leave you with many options. If it's a software issue, then you should do a Nandroid backup and then try doing a 100% clean install to see if the problem disappears or not. If it doesn't, then it must be a hardware issue. If the hardware issue isn't a matter of simply replacing the earpiece speaker, then it's not something you would be able to fix anyway.

I imagine replacing the earpiece speaker would probably fix it.
However, it's just too risky for me to have to remove the screen and digitizer in order to replace the speaker, when I have a workaround that is working.
Anyone know of a way to replace the speaker without removing the screen/digitizer?
Hey
So been having this problem with my Z5C, where no matter what you put in the audio jack it will play normal volume on the right side, but super quiet on the left. And this is with any AUX, headphone, earphone etc etc.
But to resolve the problem I have to pull the cord out of the phone, about 1/2mm and both sides work fine. It is only when inserted fully this problem occurs.
Which sucks because I commonly bump the cord out with it not being in fully.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I dont have sound unless i press on my speaker, and i ve been reading forums and people say my pins on my speaker need to be lifted, i lift them and i still have the same problem. Is there any way to improve the contact of the pins and the speaker to have my sound working without having to apply pressure to the phone's speaker?
Put a piece of paper next to the speaker, pressed it with the back cover and sound works now, for those who have similar problem
