What is the resistance of the rear speaker?
Hello, i don't know what resistance the speaker is.
But here's a site that sells the OEM Speaker: http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-Hero-Speaker-p/htc732890.htm
Maybe you could send them a e-mail, and ask them?
put a voltmeter up to it and test it, should be at least an ohm

I was wondering if anyone has opened the standard TyTN headphone plastic connector box? I want to change my headphones but need to get into the case. Does it just clip apart or is it sealed(glued)?
I can't afford to make a mistake as they are not available in South Africa yet.
It's very simple. There is no glue in it. Just get a very sharp knife and separate two parts (they are connected together with clips).
I've already replaced original headphones with Creative EP-630 isolator headphones.
Difference is very sugnificant!
I took some pics.
Put your nail into slit.

Thank you all. - got the job done with confidence. Actually the case opens even easier than I thought.
Regards
can you guys explain step by step what it is necessary to do and if possible to post more pictures of the process.

Hmmm...
open the mic box
unsolder the headphones
solder new headphones
close mic box
That's all. Not so difficult.
All you need is soldering iron, solder, flux, wire stripper(or knife), and new headphones.
When you cut & strip wire of new headphone, you'll see where to solder.
Red to RIGHT, green(or blue) to LEFT, the others to GND.
This article will help you.

There is another way to change headphones.

# I'm sorry for my terrible English.
In continuation of this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284909, i used all the information collected in this forum and other forums and i will briefly present you the procedure i used to modify XGPS car kit, so that it provided me with audio/microphone outputs, so that i can connect it to my car stereo, using it's line-in OR using an RF modulator.
First of all, i disassembled my car kit, using just a screwdriver
Then, using a soldering iron, i removed the integrated speaker (since i will not need it).
After that, i removed the existing 2.5mm connector, and i cut all the wires that lead to it. I used some plastic welding epoxy, to give strength to the plastic base that the PDA "sits". I then drilled a hole, in order to insert the new 2.5mm 4 conduct plug!
This is the new plug, taken out off my old handsfree
And this is how it looks inserted into its place
Then, i screwed it back on the car kit, and i used my "Wizard" in order to assure that it fits as before. With the "Wizard" still in place, i put some plastic welding and finished!!! Wait for 15 minutes for the epoxy to dry, and my 2.5mm 3 conduct factory plug, is replaced with a 4 conduct taken out of my old unused handsfree
I prepared 2 small "boxes", for holding speaker/microphone connectors(rear box) and for adding some small blue leds to give my mod a more "artistic" look(front box)!!! I mainly used some acrylic sheet(2mm) and aluminium sheet(1mm). I curved acrylic by heating it, using a heat gun i had. Generally, i had almost all the necessary tools/material already from my previous PC mods.
Acrylic boxes and alluminium covers, we painted black using a spray gun. The rear box, was(i have to admit) better prepared. I'm already planning to redesign the "front" box.
Rear and front boxes are screwd on the factory cradle.
Some more pics!!!
Here are the connectors i'll use. 2 for speakers(stereo-black) and 2 for microphones(mono-beige). I'll explain more on my decision in next posts
Here are the connectors mounted on the rear box
Here is my hand!!!
Alright!!! It took me some practise in order to solder the small wires of my old handsfree. In fact, i extended them using some wires i had, so that soldering on the connectors would be easier-and it was!!!
Now, why did i use more connectors than needed? The reason is simple. The connectors are setup as master-slave(at least in Computer hardware, this is how it's called). That means, one of each 2 connections of each type (speaker/microphone) come first. So, i'm planning to connect the 2nd connector to my car stereo(maybe using an RF transmitter). If i need to make a private call(that means cancel audio from my car stereo), then i simply plug in a stereo headset. This way, i can hear from the headset, without having audio from my car stereo! If i change my mind, i simply unplug the headset, and audio is directed again to my car stereo. Hope i didn't make it very complicated!!! The same applies for microphone (i already bought a small cheap microphone from ebay).
Now, on the picture below, you may notice a greenish layer(actuall it's ocean blue). This is actually some sort of UV acrylic. Some leds are inside the front box, so that when connected to the car, it displayes a light blueish color (Uv acrylic makes it look fantastic!!!)
Now, you can preview the back cover(made off 1mm aluminium) of my cradle. It's also painted the same black color. 4 holes will be used to insert 4 black rivets to secure it in place
Unfortunately no more pictures for now... I'll try to post more in the next days, as the cradle is ready and already installed in my car. I get power from my car's switch(12V) to drive the cradle and an RF transmitter (Monster Radioplay 300). My stock head unit doesn't have an audio-in, so this explains my decision. Sound is perfect when using it for handsfree (no echo, great sound). Now, when playing music, it sounds as it gets from a strong radio station, so i guess this means success!!! Plus, i have the option to connect it to my future head unit (if it has a line-in of course!!!).
Now, my next steps;
1)I'll redesign the front cover, so that it looks more tidy(i used some ugly screws-paint also is very glossy)
2)I'll make a small stand for my car, to mount the RF transmitter and the microphone.
3)Prepare my "Wizard" for speach recognition, used to make calls-play songs etc-Do you have any suggestions on that?
So.... more pictures to come in the next days!!! Pls ask for any questions or any help you need if you want to make something similar or better OR if you have any suggestions/questions
Hello,
I bought a second hand XGo in not so good condition (screen had already been replaced). It's missing the USB and Earphone flaps and the back cover is kinda broken. I'm thinking about buying some replacement parts (http://goo.gl/SiaT3w) but I've also noticed the front microphone doesn't seem to have any kind of seal to make it waterproof.
Does anybody know if the front microphone needs some kind of seal or if any other parts need seals? Or do you think the flaps is all that is needed to make XGo waterproof?
Thanks.
every opening of the phone is either sealed or covered with flaps to make it IP67 certified water resistant.
you can buy back cover and flaps to re-assure the water/dust resistance of USB port and audio jack.(if replaced properly).
the front and back speakers/microphones, camera, led all are protected. but there is no safe way to know that for a good old second hand set.
if there is some hardware damage, there are chances that the protective coating of these openings might get loose and eventually fail in pressure.
i recommend you to replaces flaps for dust resistance, and some splash resistance, so you can wash your phone. But NEVER EVER go in pool with the set. it is not safe at all to swim with the phone.
feel free to use the covered phone in rainy storms, i use it too ! :highfive: (sometimes i even put some water on it to cool it down after hours of gaming ! )

Hi,
I bought the replacement parts and they finally arrived. I noticed on another website something that seems to go between the microphone and the front cover (http://goo.gl/78x4WN). Could anyone confirm this is the seal for the main microphone? Sadly I couldn't find anything like that on eBay.
Thanks.
My SM-T520 seems to have a broken headphone jack. Headphones are not recognized anymore on any ROM. Did someone succesfully repaired or replaced his headphone jack connector himself or knows good spare parts for this?
Nope...mine has been broken for a while.
I looked at parts, which you can easily find, but gave up once I realized the speaker needed to be replaced with the jack, involving a lot more than I expected.
So I decided to buy Bluetooth headphones!

This guy list it on Ebay but overpriced, you can try looking somewhere for cheaper. It should not cost more than $10.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-SAMSUNG...EFT-LOUD-SPEAKER-AUDIO-JACK-FLEX/132170935765
Replace it quite easy, remove 2 screws from the headphone jack, gently pry up the power and volume flex which sticks to the frame by double sided tape.
Pry up the speaker at the positions which have the arrow symbol. Reverse action for new left speaker assembly.
Anyone else feel earphones don't fit 100% inside the jack?
Recently my earphones became totally loose. The earphone's 3.5MM pin was rotating freely inside the jack. Then I put stitching pin inside the jack :silly: to clean it out and blew inside it and did many things to clean it. Nothing came out haha but when i tried the earphones were finally working and produced 'tick' sound for fitting but i noticed that some part of this was still outside.
Anyone else's earphone jack this or my jack is damaged?
I have the same earphones too. But somehow don't have issues like this
