hey guys recently my speaker on the x1 dosnt work properly it only works wen i push on it but its only on msg tones and ringtones anyone else have this problem i done a hard reset same thing i can play music fine but when it rings it wont work
I don't understand what you mean. Push on it? The speaker comes out of a hole in the side.
i understand what u mean...
these days my speakers wont works unless i put some pressure on the phone (either back or front... )
gonna send for repair
same problem... only works wen i push on the front by the panel button... did u get it fixed??
This is a simple contact problem, you either dropped the phone once too often, or it broke down by itself. If it's the latter, it falls under factory warranty, should grant free repairs.
Open your phone, find where the speakers are at, look at where the metal connectors are, cut out some cushion and place it between the speaker and the wall of the phone housing, reassemble your phone. Problem solved.
Just don't put cushions between the connector and the speaker because there would otherwise be no connection to the speaker and phone.
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.

Hi everyone,
Yesterday my plug of my headset broke off, and is now stuck in the audio jack of my Galaxy Note.
I have insured my Galaxy Note, but I want to send the phone to the insurence company after Christmas/New Year, so I can still shoot photo's/video's for the holidays.
But because it's stuck in the audio jack, the phone thinks there's a headset connected. So when I try to make a call, I'm forced to press Handsfree to hear the other person. It's the same thing for the Music player, I can't hear the songs.
It's not a big problem that it's stucked, but it's a big problem for me to make calls this way.
So my question is, is it possible to (temporary) disable the audio jack? I've tried an application from the Market that should do the trick (Headset blocker), but it didn't work for me. It still thinks there's a headset plugged in.
So is there someone who knows, how to disabled the audio jack with an app, or a command or another way to do so?
Thank you for your help and have a nice holiday!
you could try a dab of superglue on the end of a toothpick to try to get the piece out.

I've tried that already (found tutorials on Youtube), but it don't work. It's to stuck in the audio jack. I went to a repair shop and they have tried it, but they can't get the piece out also. They say that the phone must be opened (insurence company).
But if I managed to (temporary) disable the audio jack, I'm happy also, so that I can use my phone normally. I will bring the phone to the insurence company after the hollidays, because the repairing takes normally a couple of weeks.
OMG, I've got it!!
I've found an app that worked!!

Would be faster if u just unscrew the backcover and remove the stucked headjack uself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395971
But of course, can u send it in, if u are afraid to loose warranty and dont want take the risk.
I would do it myself, with such minor problem, instead send it in, that takes few minutes to fix and few weeks waiting to have it back.
Unscrew 9-10 screws, remove backcover, pop stucked headjack out and put backcover back.

Thanks for the link mate, couldn't find any pics or a vid about the inside of the Note. Just had my phone apart, it seems to be that the thing that's stuck, is too small to remove it from the audio jack, so the whole audio jack must be replaced. I see in the pics and vid its a part that can be replaced, so i know that now, thank you!

Hello everyone. A few days ago I started having a problem with my cappy, and I can't put my finger on the cause.
My speaker stopped working. Partially. When I'm on the phone with someone, I can't hear anything from them. If I turn the loudspeaker on, I can hear them just fine. Phone rings and notifies me of smses but I can't hear anything else. I don't hear music or video playing on the phone or the alarm clock.
In short, Working: In-call loud speaker, sms and calls.
Not working: everything else - music, alarm clock, in-call sound.
In summery, I can't decide if it's a software or a hardware problem.
I'm running CM 10.1 M2 with devil 4.2.
I should also note that I disassembled my phone to try and apply the
"loosen the screw" fix on the speaker assembly with no luck, nothing changed.
I think both. Earpiece and speakers are different devices.
Hardware - earpiece, software - speakerphone alarms, music etc.
One simple idea: take a piece of something thin, like needle and clean 3.5mm port.
I had almost-same issue 1 year ago. just dust formed wool and began shorting contacts inside port.

Thank you for the reply. Let me get this straight, you suggest I clean the 3.5mm port even though earphones work fine? (I haven't mentioned this but with earphones, everything works properly).
earphones = headphones = ear plugs? no, not this.

Your phone has 2 speakers - front, and back.
As i understand, your front speaker (for usual calls) is malfunctioning.
And if you turn SpeakerPhone in call, then you can hear oponent?
Try to clear port, this wont hurt. But might fix issue. You don't need to disassemble phone, wooden match will do too for cleaning.
Just nothing wet, and don't do rough movements inside port.
It's a bit fragile.

When it happened to me I had to re-seat the ribbon going from the speaker to the sim board. it is very sensitive and I had to do it twice before I got connection back....i just banged the phone around too much and the ribbon lost contact....After the ribbon is seated correctly then just don't tighten that screw too much as it will unseat the ribbon again.
So, gosha.
Anything fixed?
I did as you suggested Yuna, I tried cleaning the 3.5mm port but I'm afraid it had no effect.
Then I disassembled the phone again and as Rmntruexjr suggested, I tried re-seating the ribbon connecting the speaker module to the circuit board several times while the phone is turned on and I'm trying to play music throughout the ordeal. That didn't help either. As previously, ringers work and the loud speaker works but alarm clock, music and the front speaker for calls do not.
Does anyone know if the music and alarm clock are being played by the front or back speaker?
If they are played by the front speaker then the problem is obviously a malfunction in the front speaker and I should just get a new one. Otherwise, there is something weird going on and the back speaker only plays some of the sound and then I can't explain it.
music is played from back speaker.
stupid q: did you checked volume levels?

Yup. Just to make sure, we are talking about System Settings -> Sound -> Volumes?
However, your question has just made me recheck all the settings and apparently the alarm clock does work!
The current situation is music and front speaker in-call sound doesn't work, but back speaker in call sound works and so do all of the ringers, notifications and alarms.
So, if you play music - no go? Try volume buttons in-playing.
There are 4 different volumes, and 1 hidden.
Front speaker might be broken. Try stock rom, if not helping - service.
And also in call try to adjust volume.
Try kernel with/without voodoo sound. Install/uninstall voodoo sound.

No go on the music, same with the volume buttons in call.
As for the kernel, I don't think there is a voodoo and cmc version for the 4.2 Devil kernel (for whatever reason), I only found one version of it - set me straight if i'm wrong.
I'll try rolling back and flashing CM 10.0, i'll see if it helps and report back.
Servicing the phone here is probably out of the question since i897's don't exist in my country, only i9000's so if it comes down to hardware, i'll just order a new speaker module from ebay and install it myself.
But to order, you must be sure its speaker itself.
Sounds like software issue now...
Crazyness...
Рус?
I'm actually surprised the ribbon trick didn't work. I know your issue sounds messed up, but what you describe is detail for detail what I was seeing. It made no sense what so ever to me how for instance no front speaker in call but still speaker phone worked, but then no music, yet alarm works....(i think the ribbon can lose contact on just the right side so you only get some things working).
Sorry it didn't work for you, but it might be worth it to try again if you exhaust all other possibilities. If you do, keep the phone off while trying to seat the ribbon(and make sure the little black fastener is all the way open(up) when inserting the ribbon). Then to test without putting it all back together I used an elastic to hold the battery and tested that way........
If it really does turn out to be the front speaker/jack/sensor unit, I found one last month on ebay for around $2 for a cappy with a bad Jack and it was fairly easy to replace.
For what it's worth, mine stopped working the other day for no reason. Hit it, and now it works. Just something to try (not too hard of course, just a light tap on the hand )

Same issue....That is how mine started...I dropped it one day then I went to play music and the sound would just cut out for no reason it seemed...I could shake or tap on the phone and it would come back on for a while, then nothing again....for me, it was the speaker ribbon.
Ahh that's kinda crappy (no pun intended). As soon as I hit mine, it worked the whole time the phone wasn't bricked .
PS I keep getting outbid on these alltechwholesale auctions by the same guy -_-"

lol, it's not me I swear....:angel:
You suck lol, thought I'd have an easy fix one with just a bad speaker which I happen to have a working spare for! Damn lol.
Anyway, OP, if you continue to have a speaker problem, did you try swapping it out for a spare one?

So, I rolled back to CM 10.0 and no change, which means that it's probably a hardware issue, albeit, a very weird one.
And no, Israel.

I didn't realize earlier that you had the EXACT same problem so I'll give it another go. It's a good idea with the rubber band, I had to hold the battery throughout the ordeal last time. Even if I order one of these units on ebay now, it'll take about a month to arrive.

I'm afraid I tried everything I could which relates to the common Cappy speaker malfunction, that's not it i'm afraid.
I spent 10 days in the desert prior to this malfunction so it's very possible sand caused something (there is sand inside the phone ) or I may have dropped it or something. I didn't want to mention this earlier so I don't throw you guys off straight into a hardware issue.
Well imo hardware is usually an easy fix, so long as it's not the main board (at that point it'd make more sense to just buy a new phone). Open the phone up (don't be scared, there's a tear-down guide on this section w/ pictures), take a can of compressed air, and lightly go over all of the parts inside the phone. Take care not to knock anything out of place. You may also want to re-connect all of the ribbon cables, just in case one came loose (very VERY high possibility). If you need any extra help you can pm me here or shoot me an email (I work in IT and do hardware repairs all the time ).
