Loud Speaker Replacement??? - Motorola Atrix HD

I think my loud speaker on the back of my phone opposite the screen is blown.
Whenever I have someone on speakerphone they make a cracking sound.
This happens on several different ROMs so it isn't a software issue.
So If I buy a replacement is it as easy as just unscrewing the back case and prying out the blown speaker???
I see replacements online for cheap and when I open the phone it looks straight forward.
Any help appreciated.
Thx

I don't think it is too Involved. Looks like it just sets in there.

It isn't quite that easy, but it isn't all that difficult. Go find one of the EB40 mod threads, and follow those instructions to get the back plastic bit off. I think the speaker can then be dropped in, but I'm not sure.

I have the same problem but I think it's the rom because when I am listening to my music it is OK
Try stock rom

Exactly what he said. Pretty sure it's just the rom.

I am using the AOKP youngunn ROM and it does only do it on speakerphone calls and not when playing music. If this is the case then is there a fix?

I to think it is software prob. I replaced the speaker in mine and had no real change in audio quality. But while you are in there do the eb40 mod, you won't regret it.

Already did the battery mod and the last time I was in there I tried to pry it out gently but it wouldnt budge.
Now my problem is that the screws are starting to strip from opening it up so much.
Anyone know where I can get T5 screws for this that are the same size?
sent from my Atrix HD MAXX

Yeah I stripped two of mine out first time I opened it. Closed it back up and went to Sears and got a good t5 driver.

I really like my atrix hd... however i have my 3rd unit on its way from at&t. The first one had a sudden battery discharge issue. The second one has had its headphone jack fail. I'm frustrated but if the third one fails i will change models of phones.

New Atrix HD Owner...

Great device. I don't mind MotoBlur at all. If AOKP (my fav) was available I don't know if I'd even use it. I have root and that's all I need. Tons of bad reviews and I don't get why yet. Screen is second to only the One X. I've had just about any and every of the top popular devices you can think of. I'm sure I'll be on to the Note 2 once ATT drops it too, but the Atrix HD is great at it's price point. The internal storage is the only downside. It's fast and snappy stock. IMHO Moto has passed up HTC (bloaty, but highly functional and experience changing) for the best stock experience. The clock/weather/battery widget is so useful, screenshots don't do it justice. It's more than just time, weather and battery. The ability to swipe up on messaging, phone and other icons and see a quick (don't know what to call it) status area is great. The hardware is fantastic. All i needed was a different camera app and all is good.
If Moto was more "mod" and had 16gb storage this device would be an XDA favorite easy!!!
edit: BTW most of all the device is beautiful
Couldnt have said it better myself. With the battery mod and camera fix options, this is an AWESOME phone

I think he meant it looked as good as 1080p since our screens are so small.

CameraZoomFX Best 3.00 you'll spend in a long time!!
And correction this screen> The One X screen. I have both phones and the picture is more clear and sharp on the AHD. This screen is the same as the iPhone 5. Put them side by side like I did. They're both the same pixel, clarity and resolution wise. The AHD is the phone to have now.
Be sure to get:
64GB class 10 micro SD card
CameraZoomFX app
RazrMaxx battery
And don't look back
They're so cheap on eBay too, i was looking for a phone for a friend. He wanted to spend less than $250 on a phobe with a nice screen and decent specs... ATRIX HD was unbeatable for the price.

Dead Matrix HD

Hi, my AHD recently died and I've gotten a warranty replacement. 2 questions I have are, can I microwave this phone to erase all data, and if so, for how long? And would that be with the battery in or out? 2nd question is, how can I find out if my replacement is a refurb or new?
Thanks!!!

Oh, that would to microwave the one I have to return, not the replacement.

WTF? Microwave?
I have no idea which Jackass movie you saw this on but I WOULD NOT SUGGEST IT
Please for godsakes dont ever try putting anything with a battery in a microwave.
Your phone has metal. Lots of it. You're seriously going to do a lot more damage than you think you're setting out to do.
Something safer than this would be utilizing a strong permanent magnet to wipe data. Still would not recommend though
Actually, saw the microwave suggestions in the A2 forums, not really sure if it was tounge in cheek...didn't read the whole thing. Just want to erase any info and the fact that is was rooted and the BL unlocked.

Flash a rom for another device. That'll brick it lol. Definitely don't microwave it. Factory reset it and smash it on the ground or something.

We have had someone do this before. MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE ACCIDENTAL COVERAGE. If not, you'll have just wrecked your phone and can't replace it.
Just borrow a friend's phone and call your carrier saying it fell off the counter or something (something that would have had enough force to do this, maybe say you put it on top of your car and drove away) and cracked the screen and won't turn on.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
And if you DO end up microwaving it (the new microwave are metal safe I guess. I just got and it came with a metal rack that you put in it ) make sure you video tape it and share lol.

when my toddler microwaved my wife's old phones it only took about a half of a second to fry lol.
PS it left burn marks on the phone so bad idea for warranty but skeevydude mentions in his beginners guide to wire a 110 volt cord onto a micro usb plug it in and fry the board.
Anybody with a strong magnet is free to confirm this myth and report back. http://www.chacha.com/question/could-a-magnet-hurt-a-micro-sd-card

@ OP
IF you're running an unlocked bootloader I can modify the kernel to use SUPER high voltages and fry out the processor.....just throwing it out there.
@deeje00
He can always remove the sdcard....takes a whole 10 seconds

Need Buying Advice on The Atrix Hd

Hello all;
i am about to buy a phone for myself and the atrix and the htc one s are my two options if the moto 'x' is not affordable by me. i wanted to know if the phone is any good. if i ask the question on any other thread some guy who has never used the device will answer the question. comming form the htc thunderbolt and a life-time of misery i wanted to also know if there are any serious problems with the device.
The only drawback I've had is night time photos. But I don't generally use my phone as a camera so yeah fine lol.

so no dying suddenly or random call/wifi drops nothing of that sort ? i came form the htc tbolt and faced those problems and am quite cautious to buy htc again so this just seemed a better option.
as for photos i do not use my phone camera all that much for taking photos
one more thing does this have official cm support
We don't have a official cm yet but we're close. We have a good amount of rom choices though. And the battery stock isn't the greatest, not the worst either. But I did the razr maxx battery swap and now it lasts through my 17 hour day every day.

Same way ya swap on an iPhone, unscrew the case apart and put the new one in.
The only problem with Moto Phones is the lack of updates to them, though that's usually the fault of the carriers, not Moto. That's where the scene comes to the rescue and provides us with more roms than we care to use.
Looking at the rumored specs, the X is nothing more than an updated RAZR\Atrix HD. Everything is the same, except no sd card (I really hope that isn't the case), a gig more ram, slightly better cameras, slightly faster cpu, much better gpu, same screen size, same resolution, same motherboard (msm8960). I also think we'll be running the X's 4.3 within a week or two, a month tops, of its release, they're that similar.
Whichever phone you get, you'll be happy.
Most of us here are gonna be getting an X by years end and will repurpose the Atrix as a glorified mp3 player, wireless nic adapter, portable streaming media center (VuDu, NetFlix, Hulu, Prime), etc.
is this correct? the device is now officially cm 10.2 supported

You can buy a razr maxx battery and with a little light surgery, you can install it into the atrix HD. YouTube has a couple of videos that'll show you how to do it.

I actually found the stuff immediately after asking the question - the process doesn't look terribly complicated, I may give it a try.

the color of the screen problems?

Compare with my friend's mb886,my screen is warm.Especially the white is not as white as my friend's.
Does anybody else in here have the same situation like me?
My device is bought from taobao.its a second hand one. maybe the seller replace a screen.

I have same situation. My wife also uses AHD but her screen seems more bright than mine.
I replaced my LCD screen last month after it was broken. I bought from ebay.
However, as I remembered, my original LCD screen seem more bright than my wife's one.
I cannot figure out why
Both of them are different roms and kernel.
