Can anyone point me towards instructions to remove and replace the ear speaker in my V1615? I have 2 handsets, one that works fine apart from the ear speaker and the other that has died totally, but has a working speaker and I'd like to combine the 2 of them.
Any help would be most appreciated!
Found in the Wiki: (official) Kaiser service manual. Should be exactly what you're looking for.

Good luck
Thanks for that, am going to have a go and will post how I get on!
Replaced earpiece, now it doesn't boot up!
Had a go, and had no problems carrying out the replacement, but now when I put the battery in, all I get is the green LED on all the time and the unit doesn't start up. Any ideas what I need to do folks?

Hi,
First post, so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I wanted to find out if anyone else is having trouble with the speaker and microphone on an S730?
I eventually received my handset from O2 UK (XDA Atmos) and managed to make 2 voice calls before the speaker stopped working. I can place calls but I can't hear a thing (completely silent), and I no longer have any key tones.
On investigation, it works fine using the supplied headset, and if I grip the phone in a particular way so to gently squeeze the top section, the speaker works again.
I've googled until I'm sick and can't find any references to this on a 730, but quite a few on the 710. Anyone else had this problem.
Oh, and just to really annoy me, O2 are out of stock, so their next day replacement is going to take 18 days!
If pressing on the case kicks it back in it sounds like something is not connecting properly anymore, its possible you could fix it but I would go for the replacement. Does the external speaker still work? I have not seen any other threads about this issue but I am sure we will.
It's hard to tell but I believe the external speaker works as it does ring. However, I'm not able to switch it to speaker phone mode. Doing so does nothing. I also seem to have more luck placing calls than receiving them.
I guess I'll just have to wait for the replacement. Bit annoying that my 'loan phone' from O2 is a nokia 6300 though - hardly comparable! Just hoping the replacement doesn't suffer the same problems...
You sir are the first one to report this issue that I have seen, doesnt mean its not but I wouldnt bet on it being too widespread of an issue. Sounds more like something went wrong in shipping / production and you got unluckey Hope your replacement shows up soon!
Well, my replacement finally turned up today..... and it works just fine. Let's hope it was indeed a one off, or damage in transit, or cosmic rays or something.
The loud speaker (ringer / notifications speaker) died in my X1. (100% volume with the audiopara files too much for it?) At least is was easy to remove to test.
I'm having a hard time locating a spare. Anyone have any ideas of where I might be able to order one from?
Is there a HTC phone model that uses the same speaker that I could search for instead?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Someone must have heard me.
After having no luck finding anything for two weeks, some popped up on eBay. They were cheap so I bought two and will keep the Audiopara mod installed.
Much faster and a lot less grief than sending it back under warranty.
My captivate's external speaker came loose a few days ago and the sound went dead every time it does. I can temporarily fix it by pressed hard on the back of the speaker and push it back to place however, every time the speaker is so loud (50% or higher) it came loose again. So every time someone call me or the arlam goes off, the sound went dead again.I took my captivate apart hoping I could tighten the loose part but the speaker is just one piece that is all glue together. I'm all for opening the speaker and fix it but Im want to make sure that it is possible. So I just want to know if you can open the speaker and fix this problem, if not is there a place or website that sell replacement for the external speaker? Most of the site I looked only sell stuffs like camera, back covers, and lcd displays.

(PS I dont post very often (never) here, so I'm still not allowed to post links... You HAVE to put www in front of the links, otherwise they wont work !!)
In this video someone is disassembling his phone, you can see the speaker when he removes the back of the phone. It doesn't look that hard. You don't have to unplug everything like he does...... It seems like you only have to open the back and then you have acces to remove the speaker.....

I guess it's gonna take a while before my parts arrive. If they do I will post a message wheter the replacements worked or not
Cheers !

Hi,
The replacement part and the replacement tools arrived this week and I just replaced my ear speaker. It was quiet easy actually. The hard part was to remove the bottom part of the back of the phone. Then you can easily remove the screws and the back. It was a bit difficult to remove the ear speaker. First I tried to unplug the speaker, but that didnt work. Then I removed the speaker (I just wiggeld a lot, it was really tight in a small frame) and when it came lose I could unplug it aswell. Then I installed the new ear speaker. The cord of the replacement speaker is a bit longer, so I crolled it on the speaker. Then I set everything back in place and the new speaker works as a charm. It cost me about 30 min (but I was also watching the football match....) and it cost only 4 euro something.
Good luck repairing your phone !

A foto of the parts I orderd.
I replaced the battery in my wife's phone and immediately afterwards I hear no audio from the earpiece. When I plugin headphones I can hear audio fine from the headphones, youtube pauses when I remove the headphones which indicates it does know that the headphones aren't plugged in and should be sending audio to the earpiece. Does anybody have any idea what connections might be the issue? I have taken the thing apart 4 times trying to find what connector might be misaligned with no luck thus far and really don't want to have to get another phone.
Same exact problem here...
Hi there archangelus2,
Have you ever found a fix to the problem? I also noticed that my loud speaker is now not as loud as it used to be... and by trial and error, I found out that squeezing the top right corner (looking at the screen) it gets a bit louder so I guess that some of the contacts aren't touching well or some other odd crap is going on. The phone is easy enough to open and take apart (if you know what you're doing and are very careful and gentle), but I did notice that given the complains that have been posted post-repair, it does not seem to be too reliable when putting it all back together. The earpiece going completely mute is complete nonsense for instance as there isn't all that much that could go "wrong" in those contacts and I wonder if something gets messed up at the software level after a replacement of hardware like the battery, is performed.
Any help and info will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers! and stay

Is there anyway that you accidentally messed with the earpiece? There is a small rubber protector inside the phone on top of the earpiece, I suggest you check to make sure this is positioned properly on the speaker.
Best of luck,

Yes, I just got my earpiece fixed. I had a 16 GB AT&T model who's sound was terrific. Then i got greedy and went for a 32 GB latin american model (some telecom I forgot the name of) its earpiece sound was extremely low. I ordered 2 earpieces from ali express just in case they were to be changed. Yesterday I took it to a shop and the guy fixed the original earpiece by applying some tape around the earpiece to focus the sound out of one way and now its as good as new. $10 and am happy.
So yeah probably in your case I'd say he kinda misplaced the earpiece. You may get it checked.
