My bottom speaker has developed an issue in the last few weeks. I thought at first it was a custom rom problem as I do enjoy a flash or two! But nope, stock rom, custom rom, whatever rom the bottom speaker sounds distorted/buzzing.
Not sure if any crap has managed to work it's way inside the bezel and sitting on the speakers themselves? I do work in a machine shop, perhaps some fine particles of metals have ended up in my pocket, then speaker as the speakers are magnetic but I don't know. Could be blown as these phones are getting on now.
It is easy to pop the top bezel off and will this give me access to the speaker?
Suggestions appreciated
I have tried running a fine paint brush through the holes in the hope of dislodging anything but no joy.
If it's a big hassle removing the bezel or if the speaker is toast I guess the m7 has served it's purpose and time to move on sadly.

I have no sound whats so ever?
I think i know the answer to my problem - i'm just not sure how to fix it.
Basically part of my headset is stuck in the headset port. It's the little tiny tip section of the jack end. I think the phone thinks there is a headset plugged in and thats why the speaker is not working - also when taking calls i cant hear the other person and they cant hear me.
Problem is, what do i do about it? It's an awful small jack fitting in the first place - never mind trying to get the smallest part out of that hole?
Any idea's? I want to avoid returning the phone to O2 because when they last had it (the touch screen stopped working) it took 4 weeks before i got it back and I need the phone for GPS everyday!
OOooooo errrr.
Thats got to be the worst of luck.
I can only siggest two possible things to do and they're nasty, very nasty!
1. Get a cocktail stick and dip the smallest possible amount of SuperGlue on the end(and I mean the smallest dribble.) Infact put a drop on a ceramic tile and dip the cocktail stick into it for a really small amount. Then insert and hold for a few minutes. You may have enough bond to ease out the remains.
2. If you dont use the jack you could shove a nail in there and gently wiggle if for quite a while to break the solder points carefuly and then pull the jack off, thus disconnecting the headset.
Sounds rough and nasty but thats what I'd do and then if it failed I'd put the jack on the remaining headset and send it back to O2 for replacement.
Hi all,
I think my internal speaker has come lose inside my alpine as I can hear a rattle and the sound comes and goes, has any one taken one apart or are there any pdfs about on how too dismantle one
cheers
Sorry to hear about that.... I had same problem too.....
Yeah, I have a rattly speaker - I think it's because the middle bit which goes over the speaker to protect it has become partially pushed out of its little holes on the inside of the front case - the problem is, the gap is so small I can't get my finger around it to push it back into its holes, so I'll have to take the case off.
It's not so bad at the moment, but I'll give it a go when I get a new phone (September, when my contract renews) - I imagine that dropping my phone a few times hasn't helped it
The earpiece on my G1 stopped working completely. The only way that I can make or receive calls is to use the speaker phone. I'm running Cyanogen's 2.1.
I've done several full wipes. Reinstalled CyanogenMod from the very beginning. Installed SuperD and then Cyan again. Flashed my Nandroid backup. Flashed the newest radio. Checked the obvious things like in call settings and volumes.
When I'm in a call, the other person can hear me but there is no sound coming from the ear piece. This happened seemingly overnight. A few days ago it was working fine then I tried to make a call and thought I didn't have service because I couldn't hear it ringing.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thank you.
This happened to me when my G1 dropped down on the carpet from 30cm height.
I had to open the phone and to resettle the earspeaker. Everything was ok afterwards
Hrmm I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks!
I really shouldn't be allowed to repair my own electronics. After an hour and a half of tinkering, I finally got the phone open. I didn't have the right sized philips to take the screen apart. I used an eyeglass repair kit, a Dremel with cutting wheel, an adjustable wrench and knife. A broken plastic clip and snapped screw later, I had the screen off. I was sure that I had broken my phone, so I put it back together real quick and turned it on. Not only did the screen still work, but my earpiece speaker magically works now.
You can't even see the Dremel cutting wheel marks all over the phone with my Seidio case on.
Ok im listening to music when all of a sudden the music cuts out, so w/e i unplug and plug in the headphones and it works again. But lately the earphone jack cuts out with any little movement to the earphone at all, i cant listen to music with the phone in my pocket because it cuts out when i take a step.
If anyone has any easy fix for this weird problem, please tell me.
*note: just to be sure it wasnt software based, i went to stock rom and just to make sure it wasnt the earphones i tried it with 5 pairs
any advice?
i've got the same problem, tried using headset blocker, but that didn't help
edit: If someone know how to delete this function out of android, i would be very pleased, because i dont use it!
i fixed it with a little piece of plastic i put between the headphonejack and the case like this:

How did you get the plastic in there? i tried biting off a piece of plastic straw but it wont go in all the way
Mine used to do that, but changing to new set of headphones (where the male connector wasn't so worn) fixed the issue for now.
I think the headphone jack is just a little sloppy on tolerances (and a little bit weak too). You might need to send it in for repair.

i used a part of a plastic straw. http://de.academic.ru/pictures/dewiki/116/trinkhalm.jpg
but it was 15 minutes work but it was worth that cause the jack is working like before.

Might be broken, bent, dusty or dirty contact. Shine a torch inside and look if you can see anything. You could try cleaning it with a cotton tip with most of the wool taken off so it will fit inside. Put a little bit of alcohol on it and give it a couple of spins.
