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.

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.
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?
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?
thanks
l.

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.

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?
Dear all,

Does anyone know were to get this exchange speaker in Germany/Europe ??
thanks for your help,
cheers!
Hello,
I have the same problem. I just orderd this replacement part:
(www)ebay.com/itm/Louder-Speak-Speaker-Earpiece-Receiver-HTC-HD7-T9292-/180657772289?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a100ad701
(and some replacement tools: (www)ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170522145519&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
(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,
Matt
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.
