The speakerphone speaker on my HTC Diamond is blown. I've tried loading the stock Sprint ROM and an updated MightyROM and the speaker still doesn't work so I am pretty sure I've ruled out a software issue.
Can anyone help me with repairing/replacing the speaker??
you sure its the speakerphone only. have you plugged the headphones in to see if you can get sound from the stereo output?

if ur headphone are working and the loud speaker the one that plays the music is working then u need to change the other speaker which is beside the light sensor. heres a video http://pockethacks.com/htc-diamond-disassemble-video/
and his a manual pdf of how to disassemble it.. i used this when i had to replace mine.. pretty easy.. make sure you put all ur screws and parts in a bucket or something.. too some time to find the screw when it fell on the floor.. gud luck

I didn't think to check that. I just tried the headphones and they work great. I guess that narrows it down to the speaker or speaker connection.

I have the CDMA version of the Diamond. It looks like the one in this video is the GSM version. Still trying....

sounds like the speaker or speaker connection is at fault. Get it serviced or replaced through your insurance.
I have exactly the same problem with my Telus HTC Touch Diamond. The speaker used for speakerphone/music/games is dead, but I can still hold the phone to my ear and make phone calls. Does the Diamond have two separate speakers?
Although this won't work for my Telus phone, XDA has a copy of the service manual for the Sprint Touch Diamond here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Service_Manual
Hope that helps.
Hi benchmarkone you have the Htc ''Victor'' it's the same as the htc Diamond, but with a different design/battery, and the Diamond/Victor have 1 speaker(for the music,game,etc..) and 1 earphone(for the call).
I can't help you much, the only solution is sending the phone to get repair
Thanks for confirming that there are two speakers. That pretty much narrows it down to a hardware issue. Damn, if only I knew how to disassemble the thing.

Can anyone help me my internal speaker doesn't work and when I make a call i can't hear anything but I have to put it on loudspeaker in order hear the other person anyone faced any problems as such...
I also have this problem.
Device: MDA Compact IV
ROM: Duttys Diam V4 WWE
Radio: 1.09.25.23
I get it occasionally, when i recieve or when i dial. It usually sorts out by ringing 150, then switching between speaker and internal rapidly a few times.
I tried switching between Internal Speaker and External Speaker rapidly but it didn't work... Does anyone else hve any other solutions
Does it not work occasionally or always?
If it always doesnt work maybe its defected and needs replacement.. Its no big deal
Yea I know but the problem is when I give it to the service center I am sure I'll get it back after a month oh boy I guess I'll hve to give it to service center then I don't c any other options.....
lol yeah I understand your pain.. If its still under warranty its the best thing to do. If not, try to see some tutorials of how to replace it yourself. If its simple enough, I'd say buy a new speaker yourself and replace it.
hi guy,
i have problem with speaker of my o2 ignito ... where i can buy a new internal speaker ? ...there are a tutorial to ripair it?

ciao!
did you find a solution about that??
i have the same problem! i need to increase and decrease the volume with the button to hear something from the internal speaker!! i don' known if is an hardware problem because the speaker seems to work,i also tried several rom but with the same result! now i have "Gen.Y D2 R5.2" .
Any ideas are welcome!!
Hi this happened to me exactly. The earpiece speaker just would not work, so I couldnt listen to calls and had to use loud speaker (annoying). This is a hardware issue as the speaker is crappy. You will need to buy a new earpiece speaker. This is the one you need (damn cand post the link) its from gsm4world.us and then search htc diamond earpiece speaker at 7.99 dollars pretty cheap and they ship to UK.
The fitting is quite difficult but check google and youtube for instructions on dis assembly and you should cope. hope it works for you guys.

TKS for the info! I'll check to do it by my self!
did it
i have solved my problem with the internal speaker!!
Was an hardware problem (Thanks oneshot12), i replace by myself the earpiece speaker follow the videos on youtube, (just some problem with the power button, didn't make the contact) and now everythings works!!
My Topaz has just started giving me the exact same problem. I either have to use the speaker phone or the headphones to be able to make calls. Very frustrasting!
I'm sure the phone is still in its warranty period, but I bought it second hand and so don't have the exact date of when it was bought.
I guess I'll be trying those youtube videos. Can anyone suggest a link?
I have a Desire 500 and I replaced the screen and since, I can't hear the dialling tone or the person on the other end, incoming or outgoing, I have to turn on loudspeaker or use earphones. Just to add I've replaced many phone screens for customers without a problem. I've checked the connections etc and all seem ok. just wondering if anyone knows what caused it. Is it a sensor that's faulty or something. The speaker works in music and video etc. Is there another speaker?, as I can only see the one at the top about 15mm long.
I've done a factory reset as I know sometimes you have to after a screen replacement.

I have disassembled the phone myself pretty often,
did you connect these little white cables correctly and also the flex cables?
You probably might need to check the connectors there.

Iv'e not got the phone in front of me right now, but do you mean the back you take off to get to the battery etc?
I know the speaker that sits just below the main circuit board, but couldn't see any others.

You say "These little white cables", so i'm looking for a picture but you haven't attached one.
The only cables are the 3 flex ribbon cables, antenna (2 ends) and the vibrate motor.
And they are all fine.
As I said it rings and plays music and works on loud speaker.
Hello,
Ive tried a lot of roms , but in every rom my speakers and earphones don't work for music and also can hear phone calls only in the loudspeaker,please help......
Many people are having problem with their speakers and headphones..
Maybe its a hardware issue..
Best way to check if your in stock xperia/ stock based ROM is
Go to dialer
Dial
*+*+7378423#*#*
(*#*#service#*#*)
Check there dude..
If its still not working go to the Sony centre (with your stock ROM in your phone and act stupid if you still have warranty [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] )
It is not working in 'service' as well.
But strangely, when I plug in ear phones and open the FM Radio app and switch on the loudspeaker, I can hear sound. So, this is not a hardware issue.
Also, going to the service center is not an option.

It might be some sort of hardware issue! This is usually caused by dirt in the headphone jack making the phone think that headphones are plugged in all the time, can you change the ringer volume and see if the sound comes through the speaker?

Then, if I were to actually plug in earphones I should be able to hear something right? Not happening though. I just cleaned the headphone jack and it doesn't seem to work.

Not sure how it happen, Just buy from a guy in Craigslist and find out it have no sound.
No sound at all ( that mean when turn on no sound, using the phone no sound, call no sound - the call app freeze or foreclose when call), YouTube foreclose when I hit play, sound recorder foreclose when I hit record ( look like any apps touch to the sound thing will foreclose when run)
I had tried other kernel but no luck.
At first I think it was water damage but when I look at water indicator it still white.
I ask the guy and he said the phone got like this because last update. Hard to believe ppl on CL but I have seen some phone lost sound because update too.
Serial number was null before, I have try to flash a new EFS and I get SN back.
Thanks a lots, I will donate $20 if anyone can help me solve this problem.
Install a custom ROM on it & test... Might be software related
Same thing happens. No luck with CM12
Voice recorder fails " internal application error. Microphone may be in use"
Look like all apps cant access the sound part? codec?
Water damaged phone?
At first I think it was water damage but when I look at water indicator it still white.
Second, if It got water damage why all the apps utilize sound fail? Maybe only one speaker or microphone fail when they get wet?

One way is trying another Motherboard or its the speaker and Microphone damage, you can try changing the Speaker and Mic to see it that works or get another MB.
Did you do a full odin to stock? Like completely wipe everything
Did you test the phone before you bought it?
Have you tried using a Bluetooth or wired headphone? If the previous owner used a cheap wired headphone and the tip of the headphone broke inside of the jack. Software on the phone is going to redirect all audio and mic to the headset jack. With no headset present it would render the internal microphone and internal speakers useless

The phone turn out is hardware issue. There is a small corrosion on the board.
Anyone in here offer anything for it before I sell it on ebay?
As the title saids. The reason to do so is my phone "thinks" that an earphone is connected, but there's actually no earphone connected. Now all the audio are played with the "earphone that doesn't exist", that means the speaker won't play anything other than alarms.
I searched for solution, and found an app called "headset toggle" on Google Play. It allowed me to play music with the back speaker, but that's useless. What annoys me is that when I receive a phone call, the audio is also played with the "earphone that doesn't exist". I wonder if anyone knows how to force the audio in phone calls to play with front speaker.
Btw I'm using cm12.1, so I do have root. I've also tried flashing different roms, even stock rom to see if it's a software issue, unfortunately it's not.
Also I've found a "front speaker only mod" here but the download link is broken. If anyone have downloaded it before can you share a copy to me?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that app, it did what I want to do but it requires a ram consumpting background service. Please tell me if there's any other methods that doesn't require a background service. Thank you!:fingers-crossed:
Please, anyone knows a less ram consumpting method?

If i were you should buy earpiece jack i think. Mine was broken too and i live with that broken jack for 1month and ordered a new jack, repaired it and everything is working like charm. Still using it about 7 months and no problem.
Its so cheap on Aliexpress.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I wanted to see if there's any software that allows me to switch between earphone and speaker mode. The phone could still play sounds through earphone after I plug one in, but it thought I still have an earphone connected after I remove the earphone.
Didn't quite understand what's an "earpiece jack" btw. Did you replace the whole earpiece of the phone?
