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.

Hi, someone's having this problem too?
I bought my RAZR from Telcel... the call volume was clear and loud the first two months, i could hear the calls in and outside of an assembly plant (it's very noisy in my work) but now I can't make calls without a pair of earphones because it's now sounds too low from the earpiece...
I'm thinking about bringing my phone to my Carrier Customer Support to see if they change my phone to another one, or change the earpiece or whatever... i'm still paying for it.
If they want to charge me for the reparation or service i'm going to change the piece myself, but in ebay there's not parts available or is there compatible earpieces around... suggestions?

You have Motorola's international warranty and therefore the repair should not be the problem. As you describe symptoms it looks like the earpiece is broken. It is one of the most common failures among cellulars. I doubt that you'll find spare earpiece on the market though. The phone is relatively new and it is hard to get any replacement part. And why bother with repairment yourself if you could get it for free? Not mentioned that RAZR I has compact design and no approach to the interior is provided. You'll more likely damage it than repair it if you are not a professional...
Well... technically, I don't have any warranty from Motorola because i've unlocked the bootloader... i want it to send to my carrier customer service, but i dont have phone for backup and neither for microsim cards... and JB is out... oh well
Recently I've reopened my HTC HD2 to glue the glass+digitizer better to the case since the replacement BUT I accidentally damaged the flex cable by cutting the UP/DOWN volume buttons flex....
...I've already ordered 3 from eBay and from different sellers and the symptons were:
1. Bad Sound through loudspeaker (static), Camera was flickering with pinkish tone
2. Bad Sound through loudspeaker (static), No Vibration
3. Bad Sound through loudspeaker (static), Vibration worked but no Proximity sensor (literally)
Suffice to say I've waited nearly 1 month for each arrival...spend time to install and make a video to show the seller I was not lying...and now I'm using the HD2 without the volume buttons but with everything ok....I'm nearly Ok wasn't the fact that the Vol keys have a number of functions I use: Camera button, Silence a call and most important flash new rom's.....
Can anyone help me find one that REALLY works?
I would say your best bet is getting a used device being sold with dead or broken original digitizer.
Prices are very reasonable these days & even if twice the price you will reclaim the cost by selling other genuine parts via eBay.
Quality of chinese manufacture on mainboard flex is going be a problem as they love minimal manufacture cost (even leaving components out:-O )

Maybe you're right...and that's what 'll try to do next time. What I don't understand is the large number of happy costumers buying those flex's and reporting no problems...
I think a lot of people write feedback before fitting or testing well.
I do suspect some work well but indeed they will not be near quality of original.
The digitizers & button boards are good but flex is one of those things where genuine if possible works out best.
Should be easy pick up a salvageable HD2 besides bad mainboard or digitizer & with your gained experience strip for parts.
maybe you can try on www.aliexpress.com
I recently bought this one - http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6129733847.html , but i've given my HD2 for assemblage, as I am not able to flawlessly do it personally . i can post the results in a weeks time and tell you how it works.

Did it work ok? Camera, Sound, VIbration, Proximity sensor?

Same as ones on eBay - amazon, you'll find that seller on eBay too.
Main flex is always best salvaged from a cheap broken HD2 rather than copy part as just too complex & important for cheap china copy part.
Hello.
I have to change the small motherboard, or like I see it also called daughter-board, because phone vibration stopped working and even changing the motor didn't work.
My board is with number 50H10209-02M-A (2012-12-21). But I found that there's also the same board with number 50H10209-32M-A (2012-12-21) which I can get a little cheaper. Do you know if there is any difference and if I can buy 50H10209-32M-A or I have to stick with 50H10209-02M-A?
I tried to find information in Internet but nothing...
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

get the same one or else this will happen, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/phone-rebooting-loop-replacement-t3442504#post68312039) do you have an unlocked model?
Oh noes....my volume down switch went bad so I just blindly ordered a daughter board from eBay
(no part numbers given on listing, lulling me into a "they are all the same" attitude)
What are the chances I got the wrong one and am no closer to getting it 100% working??
It arrived today but I am not going to attempt fitting it yet or comparing part numbers as I am still waiting on a new screen/digitizer to arrive from China/ HK
The fewer times I have it open the fewer chances of screwing it up
Not having a working volume down I suppose I can live with in a worst case scenario
(this phone is NOT for me and the new owner - My Mrs - is not going to go anywhere near recovery/fastboot/bootloader and is currently back to stock and having it jammed on full volume /may/ mean she will actually hear the phone ringing and increases the chances of her picking it up!)

Sure enough, the board I ordered - despite the image of the 50H10209-02M-A board the seller sent me a 50H10209-32M-A
He wants me to send it back to China before a refund is given (at my cost)
As I only paid £7 for the board I guess I'm stuck with it and out of pocket as postage would likely be more than that
The screen also arrived and works great - but the LED's under home and back button have been stuck down wrong - so the LED's don't light the buttons by the HTC logo... but put an annoying glaring white light into the screens corner :/
Seller asked if a partial refund would make me happy which I just replied yes to
A whole £1 refund was waiting for me when I got home...sigh
There's a lesson to be learned here but I'm 100% sure I will get bitten a few more times before I put principals before the wallet
Off to find ways of disabling the home and back LED before it drives me round the twist
Regards
Rob
My Note 8 mic died today :crying: I can hear the callers but they can't hear anything from me. If I switch to speaker, they can hear me. I checked all settings and did factory reset, didn't solve the problem. I took it Samsung service center at Rama 9 Bangkok ( I live in Thailand). They tried "deep" re-flash (whatever that means), but didn't fix. Seems like my phone failed their diagnostics as well. They opened up the phone and confirmed it's a hardware failure. Fortunately, everybody who preordered Note 8 over here get 6-month brand new unit replacement and 1-year accidental screen damage warranty as part of promotion in addition to free AKG 230 blutooth speaker, some military grade cover, pencil style s-pen. So for this case, they processed mine to get brand new unit as replacement. I have to wait 7 to 14 days. I really hope my replacement phone will be problem free.
I'm just glad I haven't purchased whitestone and only bought some cheap screen protectors. I was also considering of rooting it. Now that this happened, I don't think I'm going to do it at least until my warranty runs out. I really don't want to lose my accidental screen damage warranty. I have a feeling that I'm will be using it.

Always sad to read this sort of post. As you know there will always and I mean, always be lemons. Try not to let this sour your Note 8 experience though. I do hope you get this situation resolved in a satisfactory and speedy fashion.
Let us know how you get on. :highfive:

The weirdest part is that the mic is the same either for regular call or speaker, the only thing that changes is the output audio source...seems more of a software issue than hardware, that for some reason is not opening the mic on regular calls...[emoji848]interesting...

Do you have a case on it? Take it off.
I ask because I first used a hard case and the mic didn't work always...the bottom port seemed partly covered, not much but obviously enough. Take the case off and all good. I now use a goospery soft case and it's fine.

While I don't know which microphone is used for what, I'm pretty sure Note 8 has 2 microphones: 1 on top and 1 on bottom, so maybe it is using top mic with speaker on, not the bottom one?

Update. I got my sealed brand new replacement couple days ago. My new phone is manufactured in Sep 29th. Everything is good. Mic is working. Screen is good, no light bleed at all. They even unboxed and did diagnostic of new phone with me, mainly checking the screen for any dead pixel or touch sensitivity issue, before I signed paperwork. I'm super happy with Samsung Thailand services, far far better than in the US.
Now let's see if I'll ever have to use 1-year free screen replacement. I nearly dropped it this morning.
That's a hell of a promotion. Wish we'd get that here in the States. The Galaxy 360 camera I made the mistake of choosing (instead of a sd card/fast charger) is a piece of doodoo.

My wife got the 360 camera during the S8 promo for a "mere" $50 extra. It's still sitting in the box and not being used. Waste of money for us it was.
Was actually thinking about using it. , Does it have any real uses ?

Mine is giving trouble too, but the entire circuit board there seems to have died on me after about a week, the LTE strength suddenly became terrible, and I found that if I applied pressure on one of the antenna connectors in a specific direction the strength would jump up to normal.
I'm waiting for replacement parts to be available, and I noticed that the USA version that ifixit has a teardown guide for has a newer revision of this board, made a week or so after mine. Must have had some of the early ones fail prematurely... The rest of my phone works flawlessly, fortunately.

Yes. Put it on Ebay and hope some poor schmuck pays you your $50 for it.
Op, that is the reason to buy only from authorized official dealers! The people who get their devices in grey markets most of the time have troubles with warranties
I have the same issue, blowing into the usb port seems to fix it temporarily. Hope this gets sorted out with a software update.
