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

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.
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...

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.

Like title, anyone having similar situation like that ??? 3 normal headset has been tested, basically the phone has something to do with that. Did factory reset and all stuff, nothing works.
There were lots of people suffering that with the same pattern as mine with just left earplug
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ug-wont-play-music/td-p/402779/highlight/true
Last option is to send the phone toward service, i really want to avoid that since i won't be in Australia for a while.

I had this happen to me.
I tried with two different headsets.
Turns out both headsets were broken and the phone was fine.
Maybe that's the case for you too.
Did you try a bluetooth handset? Anyway I know you are in complicated situation but in this case the best thing is send it back to repair via warranty.

I wouldn't be that sure.. I had the same problem, left audio channel didn't work in headphones. I tried 3 different headsets. That problem was in the phone. I've sent it to a repair centre and they replaced my while unit because they couldn't fix the issue. So I would send it in for repair with this problem. I know I did and got a replacement phone.
3 handset and all the same problem? 100% faulty device or jack, send it back to repair.

Could be, though i had this issue before with different devices and its always the headset
Of course i guess you can't discard the phone as a culprit
Maybe you should find a way to verify it for free before sending it in for repairs

Same case, it was dirt
Hi guys, don't send it back to repair, I had the same problem but i stuck in a needle to clean the plug and a lot of dirt came out, tried again the earplugs and they were working fin in both sides!:good::good:

The last post was 19th January, your advice might be a tad late....

Watch out with sticking a needle in the headphone jack! There's some special coating in it to make it waterproof! I guess that a needle can make destroy this coating!

Not entirely too late, at least it helped me.
Been trying to find a solution for this same problem and was beginning to think a repair was needed.
Just to confirm...with a needle, after clearing out a clump of fluff sound now plays through both earphones of the 5 different headsets that wouldn't work before.
For anyone else trying to fix this problem either now or in the future, its at least worth a try.
Thanks rvzek
I've noticed that my left earplug have lower volume than the right one. Did someone had this problem?
I cannot remember what caused this, but it's only on the Sony headset and not other. Others are working fine.
Arrived but unfortunately with a bad surprise doesn't work the microphone, or better the other person hears a loud hiss, I did the test with the microphone by making a record and actually feels a strong hiss.
Nothing Monday, call Sony for reentry.
Hey, I have the same problem, just received mine today. Except it's more like a very strong wind constantly blowing into the mic. I tried to contact Xperia Care who said to do a repair my phone via Sony PC Companion that did nothing.
Now I am waiting to recontact them tomorrow, it's the only phone that I have which take a nano sim.
Yes is real so !!!!! very strong wind constantly blowing into the mic...... AND ALSO I, repair my phone via Sony PC Companion that did nothing. THE PROBLEM IS HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE ????
I think "repair my phone" just reflash the firmware so I guess the problem is hardware.

I will see tomorrow with Sony. They have to exchange the phone as this problem is not our fault.

YES BRO !!!:good:
solved
I solved and everything works perfectly, beating first with his finger on the mic and blowing some compressed air at low pressure in the main microphone. Of course it is not normal but for now everything works perfectly (for now I keep it under control).
Wow, blowing compressed air in the mic worked for me too. Great idea :good:
ok , now works for you ???
Yup, works great.

Where is the microphone located on the z3?
I got the phone new monday
I've done testing and I have no sound on the main microphone
It just replays recorded noise
Is it hardware or is there a known fix to this issue ?
thanks
If it's a new phone, you should probably just return it and ask for another... Someone on a finnish forum was complaining about the same issue of microphone not working and said that he got a new phone from the store and the problem was gone.
Maybe Sony has had a bad batch?
Hello! I have the same problem...
Does anybody know if is a software of hardware issue?
If you bought a new phone from a store, why not just return it and ask for a new one? If it's defected from start, I wouldn't try to fix it myself but demand a working one.
Can't do it. bought it new from someone
Is somebody that solved this issue? VHollund?

That someone should have a warranty
In my case I bought it from internet store in france and we have 14 day retraction right + 2 years warranty, so I send it back
It was not a software problem
You can test the microphone by going into the systems settings on the phone
If you have no warranty, you can use a head set which is what I do most of the time anyway not to get my brain fryed
It will stil work on speaker sphone where the 2nd microphone is on
Some developers might be able to help you hack it to use only the 2nd mic
I've seen inconclusive threads about it

I recommend you go in a service to get it dissasembled. Thatrubber you just get it off and put in with the hole over the mic hole, not covering it. But if you have warranty i reccomend you get one new
If you do this you will void your warranty and it will not be water ressistant anymore
It took more than a month from the order but i received a new one yesterday and it has passed the tests
It seems to be a great little phone, I just wish the camera was better
It's very grainy and my 2016 samsung A3 took better pictures with only 13M rear camera
Decided to stay on Oreo for now since Pie does'nt seem to fix the grainyness
