call speaker not working

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

[Q] call quality issue

I am having an issue with my standard htc one.
When i am on calls the person on the other end is saying that i sound very quite. I have had this with a couple of different people i have called.
The phone is a brand new replacement from o2.
I at first thought it was due to the case i have on the phone blocking the mic however having removed the case and tried another test call the problem is still there.
Any suggestions of what to try or why this is
anyone else had this?
thanks

Call your provider reps and get another new model...

Just had it replaced by o2 as the last one had a random vibrating and overheating issue.
Getting fed up with constantly having to change this one....seems to be one problem after another.
Any possible fix or cause?

Are u on stock or did u flash any Rom or custom kernel?

no completely stock
the phone was purchased on o2 contract by a friend who then didnt like it/get on with it so i bought it off him. The phone i received had an issue with random vibrating so he returned it for a brand new replacement.
All i have done is unlocked the phone (by code) so i can use it on my network which is 3
it would seem that the htc one seems to be plagued with a number of different issues and no sooner than you manage to sort one out by exchanging it you end up with another problem!
Its getting very frustrating as i so want to like this phone....the first phones i had (bought sim free) had issues with captive buttons and build quality which led me to change back to an iphone.
After a couple of months decided to try the htc one again in the hope that all the early issues were resolved and here we are again with yet different problems.

i had this issue too, i think its related to Radio and Firmware,
just flash 2.24 and see if it fixes it, if not try ARHD 12.1 (With Wipe)

glad its not just me then, was yours an o2 one also?
really hope it can be sorted by firmware....can you tell me which firmware yo put on yours please..a link would be great
im guessing i have to unlock the bootloader and put a recovery and root again? i did this with the last one to try and resolve the random vibrating issue however that turned out to be a hardware problem
I have read some issue about problems with the mics on the phone just wish there was a way to be sure before flashing just in case i have to send it to htc to get sorted...would rather avoid sending away though
thanks for the help

just locked on my phone and it says the software is 2.24.206.1 so does this mean that it must be a hardware issue or is it still worth flashing something?

Hej, had the same problem and thought it would be the rom (cm-10.1-20130706-NIGHTLY-m7ul).
Well, it became apparent that it was the genuine HTC double flip case, who seemed to cover the micro just next to the micro usb connection.

thats why i thought it might be the case however the problem is the same with the case removed (poetic case) so dont think its that. I just dont want to unlock bootloader etc and risk messing up my return to htc if it is definatley a hardware issue.
Getting really annoying this now though as the rest of the phone is perfect, build, captive buttons, ear speaker etc

Yeah, seems to be a good idea not to mess around with roms while the device itself ain't running as it should.
Just had a look at the poetic case and the hole for the micro seems rather big, so it seems unlikely that this is the problem.
How about the hole being filled by like, dirt? Just had to think about my htc one. Sometimes the speaker grill is filled with some tobacco leftovers who float around in the same pocket as in which I put the phone. Even though it seems rather unlikely, no possibility should be left unregarded.

thanks again
i have considered the possibility of the mic hole being blocked although the phone is only a day old. I am pretty sure though that the phones supplied by o2 to replace faulty phones are actually reconditioned phones so it is possible that could be fluff or blocked, On looking it does seem that the hole for the mic is rather small and i am wondering if that in the machining process that maybe that holes is not opened up as much as it should be or is not clean....think i might try opening the hole abit using the sim ejecting tool or a pin. Just a bit concerned about the possibility of damaging the mic but then if it is faulty anyway then i guess i have nothing to lose.
will report back in a bit

i had 2.19 running 4.1.2 then i upgraded to 4.2.2 and 2.24 ARHD 12.1, the Proximity sensor is fixed and call quality has been improved but sometime it gets bad.
as for O2, i am running M7 unlocked (international)
here is the Link, just flash this ROM (Firmware, Radio, and OS is included) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023"

Ok so I have tried to make the Mic hole bigger/clean it out and and first couple of test calls it seemed it improved it. However it seems almost now like the problem is intermittent as other calls have shown the problem to still be there, this is really getting frustrating now.
Can it really be software related? Is there anymore conclusive tests I can do to help identify the problem.

BUMPPPP!
I got this problem all of a sudden
Did you solve the problem op?
I've isolated my problem to the bottom mic, cause recording videos is mainly fine (guessing it records only with one of the mics now though) and when I put it on speakerphone it works. However when I take a normal call, or use gnow it doesn not really register. When I really yell it comes through softly.
People on the other side of the phone can't hear me well, I have a feeling something's stuck in my mic port
Thanks

[Q] Other party can't hear me during call.

I'm already getting my replacement from TMO but I wanted to ask how many people have had this problem before? The only way I was able to have a conversation was by putting the phone on speaker.

Just had my One back from repair yesterday with this exact same problem.
I also had a secondary issue with the touchscreen.

I love my One but I cannot believe the amount of problems I've had so far. First it was the camera now it's the mic. Before this I had the original galaxy and that last me for 3 years with no hitches.

[Q] Weird sound given off by Vibrator thru Speaker

Hello All,
My Z1 has recently begun to give off a sort of feedback when it vibrates (via the speakers).
I've ran diagnostic tests on my phone and all tests seem to come back positive and error-free.
However, when I run the Vibration test, sometimes the vibrator works perfectly fine (for about two runs), and then it vibrates with the negative "ZzzzzZzzZ" sound.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue with their Z1? Perhaps someone else (if anyone is experiencing it as well) can further elaborate on the issue. Would really like to get this issue fixed without having to send it back to Sony :crying:

I have the same problem with my Z1 (6903). There's a weird buzzing sound from the speaker right after the vibrator activate. Would love to be able to fix this without sending to Sony as well.

Guys i had same problem few weeks back, then two days back vibrator stopped working and this zzzzzzzzzzzz sound was the only thing i can notice. So went to center and today got it replaced. So no more workarounds for this issue. Go to center and get it replaced.

Ahh, that's unfortunate. I live in the Bahamas, so doing that is pretty difficult for me at the moment. Were you able to go to any Sony store, or did you have to go directly to a service center? How long did you have to wait for your replacement?

I submitted my phone yesterday morning and person in charge told me they will try to do any sort of update first and if still there is an issue, they will replace it. Today morning when i went there, he told issue is not sorted wait for 10 minutes. and then i got new brand replacement in 15-20 minutes..:laugh:
I will suggest you to go directly to service center.

Damn. Lol that is a toughie. Only service center I know of in the US is located in Texas :/
Edit: There are actually 4 locations; NJ, LA, Texas and San Jose, Cali.

Ohhh that sounds tooooo far from your location. Try repair your phone via SUS or PCC. But first take full backup. Hope this can solve your issue. Though chances are very less.

Yeahh, I doubt it would fix my prob. I'm going to have to tough it out till I can get up to NJ at some point (hopefully before my warranty expires ).

Yeah All the best for that mate.
Really found my self lucky that i have to travel just 10-12 minutes to reach service center

Yeah, thanks for replying to my thread though..thought I was the only one experiencing this issue.

I'm also having the squeaky vibration problem...
Hi, I'm also having the squeaky vibration problem. My phone is about 6 months old and I've been having this noisy vibration squeak for at lease 6 weeks now. I'm running slimkit evo 8.1 on a unlocked bootloader. Before I try to get it fixed by Sony, do I need to reset back to stock and lock my bootloader?
Could anyone give me some pointer to what I could say to get the phone exchanged for a brand new one? I can't be without a phone for 2-3 weeks (estimated service time by resale store).

I have a 5 months old z1, and ive had this issue since the first month i bought it....i guess its a weak point, which is pity for a flag**** phone...

Hi macooz,
Sorry for the late reply. If you are sending it back to Sony, you should always revert back to Stock, as custom firmwares void your warranty.
You could simply tell them that your Vibration Motor is not functioning properly (giving off a squeaky noise instead of an actual vibration) and you would like for it to be either repaired / replaced or have your entire phone exchanged for a new one.

I agree with you. Issue is that because the phone is encased in gorilla glass, it makes it a bit difficult to change any parts on your own. Disassembly videos are available on YouTube, but who wants to take the risk of breaking their phone's casing and then have to replace additional parts?

Hi,
No work around , besides trying to do it yourself and losing your warranty.
Was without my phone for a month and a half. Eventually got it replaced.

Unfortunately, I agree with Soka on this one. I have had the replacement Vibrator for months now, but a little reluctant to open my device as it requires heating and having to purchase new adhesives and so on. I am getting those items in the very near future though, so I'm going to go ahead and do it!
My best piece of advice would be to purchase a replacement back (in case you crack / break your original one while removing it) and replacement adhesives before actually performing the DIY Fix.

Hi there Im facing this problem too, I open a new thread but then @soka pointed me to this one, I record a video from the sound
they had already replace the vibrator and the main board, but the issue still continue, here is the thread I open:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help/problem-sound-vibrator-t2922957
Hope to get fixed or replaced soon

Well, finally fixed my vibrator problem. I opened the back of my phone using a Hot Air Gun and pry tools, then replaced the vibrator module. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only valid solution.

[Q] ZR > Bluetooth > MotherBoard Replaced > Again Bluetooth

Hi Guys,
Its really frustrating and headache with ZR Bluetooth issues. I have posted the below on Sony official forum regarding the same issue.
I need your valuable advice. Please suggest asap, because Warrantee of my phone is lapsing in 10 Days.
Any Possible solution please:
Shall I try Custom rom?
Shall I give for again replacement?
Shall I downgrade Firmware?
Below is the stuff I posted on Sony Forum. It will give u clear idea.
Code:
I got my Phone's motherboard replaced (God knows with a new one or old) due to the issue of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wasn't working.
First of all, Sony Authorized Customer Centers in India are handled by so illiterate people. They don't know how to handle customer. I don’t know why they are always in hurry with listening properly to customer.
So when I asked for the issue with Wi-Fi and explained her that this can work if I put pressure under NFC it can work. She wasn't at all interested to listen and told Motherboard will be changed.
After 10 days they gave me a new set, I can clearly recognize it was a new out of the box.
So my Bluetooth worked for 10 mins and again its dead.. After two day it again worked 10 mins and again dead...
Wi-Fi is working fine....
So shall I again ask to replace it/motherboard replace/or fix or Whatever the **bleep** they want to do with it.
I feel its worldwide issue with this phone. How promising it will be that it will work even after going to them?
Sony Listen please:
Is it a s/w, driver, ROM issue?
If its S/W issue> release a statement that you can't solve the issue to your all customers and stop producing ZR units
Is it a H/w issue?
If its H/W issue> How WiFi and FM are working fine? Without a glitch?
Clear your thoughts in official statement.
For my phone warrantee is only 10 days to go and after this voila.
So please suggest shall I go with again one more replacement or the solution they will do. But I'm pretty much sure they don't know WHAT EXACTLY THE ISSUE is. Bunch of losers hired by Sony.
And Sony: Lesson learnt.
I will even go for Nokia 1100(if it comes back: P) instead of going any phone with you. I have been frustrated a lot from your junk of electronic piece.
If your authorized member can comment on this thread, a bit of hope to provide?
Thank You,
Urgent suggestions please.
Thank You,

I don't know whether this may sound new to you or not but Xperia ZR can not be repaired.... It can only be replaced with another Xperia ZR from the service center. If someone claims from the service center that they have changed the mother board of your phone then either they are lying or they haven't don **** to your phone. As this phone can only be opened in special environment. As once opened in normal environment, it loses the most important feature. It won't be waterproof anymore. I researched a lot before buying this phone. I have got my phone replaced already. And even my girl friend has this same phone. She also got it changed because of the same WiFi issue....
My suggestion to you would be, visit the service center away from your place. Do find the service center receipt from the last repairs as they may ask for records. Ask them to simply change it....
Relax bro. As I suspect, they didn't even open your phone and simply said they changed the mother board of your phone. This handset would be replaced with a new one.... Do write about your experience.... So that other people from India also get to know about it.... :good: :good: Wish you luck.... :good: :good: :good: :good:

Was living with the Bluetooth issue, postponing the resetting, which was reputed to solve it. 4 days back, got the wifi issue too. Factory reset did not help. Also noticed that sd card did not mount as mass storage device. Since the issue is almost a month after the 230 upgrade and the. 0.20 mb mystery upgrade, any chance that the issues are related to 230 firmware?
Have not yet triedmass storage mode after gactory reset,
Any body with wifi issues tried downgrading from 230? All my upgrades have been through OTA.

MY Bluetooth dont work since a month... Been working on and off for 6 month...
Wifi had assox reject error for a few month but now its solved. Wifi works great, better reception than my xz1... Dunno wth is wrong with this phone, but bluetooth and wifi issue are unrelated.

Found the right spot to excite Wifi works now. Bluetooth is still dead.
Update -- looking inside the backcover, there is a ridge running inside. Thinking of making a washer like round to maintain the pressure on the g spot. Any ideas?
