Hi folks,
Just got my 2X today, done the first charge and having a play.
Just had my first call on the phone and the person on the other end sounded very muffled... anyone else had experience of this or any ideas how I could fix it?
Might have to send it back for a replacement otherwise as its awful... actually sounded not too bad on speaker, just not good in the ear piece. Even my ancient HTC Hero put it to shame in sound quality in a call.

check this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996892). I have the same problem.
Thanks mate, just posted on your thread.
Can someone delete this thread please

The sound on the earphone is getting faint and kinda scratchy. I plan on getting a new housing for the phone soon and would like to fix this while I have the phone open. My questions are...
1. Is the earphone replacable or is it hardwired to the circuitboard?
2. Any idea where I can get a replacement of it, if it is an option?
Ive looked at a few online stores but I cant find the certain part or if its included. Thanks for the help, Im really into this phone.
you can buy a whole earphones for like 4$

....earpiece speaker or what ever its called....and I usually have to use my trusty HTC headset to hear the calls clearly, if I dont got em with me I use the speakerphone.
Hi I have a Polish Milestone with 2.1 from I get a lot of complaints from friends that they don't hear me well during phone calls. I think it has something to do with Crystaltalk. Does anybody has the same or does anybody knows a solution for this?
Hi there, I've got the same problem and I'm discussing about it on another forum, in Italian language, but we didn't find any solution yet. Do you speak Italian? Have you find other informations around on it?
Hi,
it seems that this issue is, sadly, common to a lot of Droid/Milestone owners.
If you check the Motorola owners' forum, under the Milestone section, there is a "mechanical" solution!
Unfortunately it is not a problem of software...pls go to motorola owners forums and search for the thread: "Motorola milestone horrible sound quality issues please advise"
I tried it and it worked.
In poor words it seems that a metal band on the back of the ear speaker (under a plastic cover) is vibrating and causes the problems of fading voices, metallic voices and tunnel effect...
Putting a piece of paper/rubber/or something similar between the metal and the body of the telephone stops the vibrations and the voice turn back to normal.
(but please follow the link, there are also self-explanatory pictures - more easy to do than to explain)
In my experience it works!
Well, for some time it worked but I had to open the plastic cover again after some days to fix again the paper that moved from position and, now, I will have to do again 'cause my friends are saying again that they don't hear me.
So, it is not an "official" solution, but if you read deeply in the forums, there is a huge number of customers complaining against Motorola as the company is not saying anything about this matter, as if it doesn't exist!!!
good luck!,
bye,
Mauro
I bought a new motherboard to my n1 because power button wasn't working. I disassembled it fine and swapped the motherboard. When reassembling following this video: www[.]youtube[.]com/watch?v=60yNy4xYcFo , the back speaker don't work anymore. It gives me no sound whatsoever. Everything else is working fine flawlessly, even the power button.
The only difference I had from the video is that my speaker from the back was de-attached after dissembling and I had to put it back and from what I tried, it only fits one way.
Anyone can help me solve this issue please?
i dont know if this is helpful or not, but some of the n1 is modular and you may be able to replace the speaker easily. :-/ i feel for you. dont forget too, you can use a headset or bluetooth headset stereo/no stereo
:-/
My speaker seems like it died today. I have had my N1 since last January.
I searched the forums and didn't find too much on dead speakers.
Are people having this happen more now that the N1 is getting up in age and if so what are people replacing them with?
I found a reference to one site but they want you to buy 5 of them minimum. I am looking for recommendations if anyone has any.
Thanks

there was one thread in the accessories sub forum where some guy purchased a nexus one speaker to replace his failed speaker. i think he was forced to buy in quantity though, like 5 speakers at once or something. but i think his replacement was successful.
this was probably 8 months ago or more. but it was definitely in the accessories sub forum for nexus one. try search around there maybe it has useful info.
I vaguely remember that thread, and I think it may actually have been the ear piece speaker that he replaced... Might be wrong though...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I tested my speaker with a multitester and I get no reading.
I ordered a speaker off ebay for about $6. I will report back when I get in and install it.

OK, I got my speaker from ebay and installed it. Everything is working again and the multi-tester gave a reading on the new one. So I think I blow out the OEM one. I just hope this one lasts.

If you can hear people but they can't hear you, then it's the MICROPHONE, not the speaker.
I don't know if there's any tutorial about how to take apart the OB and replace the MIC, you could try searching for "Optimus Black replace mic" or something like that.
The best thing would be to take it to a phone service, they are better equipped to replace/repair your phone's components.
Btw, the MIC might not even be broken, i had a SE k800 that had problems with the mic, took it to a service and they found that the mic moved a little and didn't make contact with the board in the phone, they simply positioned it correctly and after that the phone worked without problems
hi was talking on the phone and all of a sudden i cant hear the other person.
However if i put the call on loud speaker i can hear the person on the phone.
So i tried changing the roms from tonys t build to pac rom, that didnt work so nvflashed the phone with progmaq nvflash and mic still aint working.
Unless someone can resolve my issue through a software change, am i able to repair this speaker? and if so roughly a cost and where (if in england) would be helpful.
Or is the phone best to be scraped or given to the kids to play with?
have you tried a headset??
the one that came with the phone....

Good idea mate
Just tried it and the sound works through headset so its 100% the top speaker has stopped working
Massive shame as with Tony's ROM the phones great
Looks like I will throw the phone away and just find a new one... Any suggestions?
Don't want s4 as I will break it in seconds build quality is crap.
Maybe a HTC one or Sony experia z?

I had the same problem, i think your ear speaker, not the LOUD ONE, the internal, is bad, try sending it to repair. mine was like yours, tech replaced the speaker and all was ok
