Ok
I have an aria, i replaced the screen.. when i make a call i cant hear the other person, but when i put it on speaker i can hear, I disabled the proximity sensor, what would cause this...
Its only temporary tho since i have an atrix 4g, but i dropped that in the toilet, i had a otter box defender case tho so it helped, but the ribbon cable came apart from the digitizer, so i ordered a new one, but waiting for it, so using the aria for now,
i can handle the speaker part, for now but just wondering what would cause this,
also incase it happens with the atrix 4g also.
Thanks guys.
It means your earpiece speaker is not connected properly. Speaker phone works because it uses the speaker on the back of the phone when you switch to speaker phone.
i see now, the earpiece dont have any wires, it basically just sits there,, but its not there, it must of fell out when i put it back togather, my wife has an aria, with a shattered screen, so i will just use that one ,
I had the same thing: Wife used Aria and shattered the screen. I ordered a new one, replaced it and I remember some black rubber ribbon fell out. I didn't give it much thought until I tested a call on it. So I took the phone apart, put it back in there and the problem was gone

So I dropped my phone on hard concrete a few times without a case a while ago. For the past few months the vibrator has started to die (in and out intermittent issues, weak vibrations) and people can barely hear me in regular phone calls, while speaker phone seems to work fine. My question is, which parts do I replace? I see the flex piece containing the rumbler is available on ebay, but I assume it does not include the bottom mic? Does the bottom mic come with the USB flex (and if so, does the one from the international Galaxy S II work)? Thanks for helping me out, if I truly broke parts on two different flexes from a couple of drops I must be a complete retard.

Not sure about the parts question. Before ordering anything, I'd take it apart and re-seat the connectors. It's possible they are loose from the drop.
There are lots of videos on YouTube showing how do take the phone apart.
Don't buy anything, the problem is, if you take the phone apart by unscrewing the back (7 small screws) There is a little plastic mic cover rubber piece at the bottom. It needs to be seated around the mic and placed in its slot.

I replaced my screen/digitizer/bezel last night. All went well except the power button wasn't sitting as high as it was originally. Took it back apart to adjust the tape and the button, put it back together, worked great. I tried to make a call this morning though and at first didn't think my call would connect. Pushed the speakerphone button and it was actually ringing. Tried to make a couple more calls but there is no sound from the earpiece speaker at all. I did read somewhere that someone ordered the replacement screen and it didn't have a speaker in it but I don't want to have to pull it all apart again just to check if it exists. All of the ribbon cables and such were there when I reassembled. Could someone tell me which cable it is that connects the earpiece speaker so I know where I should start looking for the issue? Thank you.
Never mind. I couldn't take waiting any longer for a response. I took the phone back apart to find that the earpiece didn't come with the new assembly. I did find 2 threads mentioning that it might not be but no where was it part of any dis/assembly videos that I watched. If you do get a new LCD screen/digitizer/bezel assembly make sure to take your old earpiece out of your old bezel. I read that someone else destroyed theirs trying to remove it. I took a razor blade and slid it between the earpiece and the bezel and it pried out without much issue. It is only glued in. No ribbon cable, just 2 little contact prongs. Make sure to save yourself the hassle and check your assembly before you reassemble you DNA
I have had this phone for a couple of months. I bought it from someone who upgraded and sold me the phone the next day so I have no warranty.
When vibration intensity is maxed the phone makes a loud buzzing and crackling sound like loose plastic.
I thought my vibration motor broke so I replaced it and it improved, but it still does it.I turned it down but I am trying to sell the phone and I can't in good conscience sell the phone if it buzzes when the vibration is maxed.
Should I get another motor? Does anyone else have this issue!
I had this issue and it bugged the crap out of me. Take the back off, all the screws and pop the plastic housing off. You'll see the motor om the top left. I just pressed down on it firmly to get stick it back to the tape. Put phone back together and you're good!

I have done this 3 times today. Dismantled, removed mobo, pressed it as hard as I could w/o damaging it and screwed everything back in really tight. My OEM vibrator (?lol) would rattle the thing even at the lowest volume. I dismantled it and pressed down with that one too and again, it rattled hard. I am running out of ideas. Could I really get two bad motors? It doesn't really make noise until it is all put back together, then it starts.

You might want to check your back cover then. maybe it's not snapped in all the way. You probably would be safe by putting a little tiny piece of foam on the motor with some adhesive. get some 3M double sided tape the 5mm kind. I would think this would be OK...
I thank God that our phones can be opened. My speaker stopped working today, so did some homework and watched a few videos on how to take the phone apart. I cleaned the speaker connectors and any other connector pads I could find inside the inner case plate (top and bottom speaker panel) and on the mother board and my speaker came back to life! I thought I would have to buy a new speaker panel. Saved some cash! I cleaned it with alcohol and canned air.
Update.
Speaker stopped working again. Did more investigating and some guys (in the NEXUS phone group) noticed that if you pressed on the back of the phone near/below the camera lens , the the speaker would work again. I tried this and found that if I took off the back cover and pressed directly left of the button area (UP/DOWN VOL-Home button), the speaker would come back on. So I removed the inner back cover and placed six small layers of electrical tape in that area to provide pressure to that area when the inner cover is reattached and screwed in. Well it's going on day two and the speaker works every time. Don't know if this is a great solution but I got my phone working again and avoided buying another 600-700 dollar phone again. Hope this helps somebody.

hey,i have the same issue, but i don't understand where i have to put the electrical tape
Hi all - I am new to this chat room. Question about sound on my K7. My screen cracked so I bought a replacement digitizer assembly. I took everything apart replaced the assembly, and everything works but the loudspeaker (can't hear ringer, which is a bummer). I took it to a repair guy and he said the loudspeaker cable was missing. Went home, I pulled it apart again and noticed that the "L" shaped gold band that is located next to the external speaker on my original assembly is missing on the replacement. I contacted the seller and they said that has nothing to do with the loudspeaker, but there's something probably wrong with the motherboard. I'm not sure if that's the same missing part the repair dude mentioned, but it's weird that the "L" shaped band is not included on the assembly AND my speaker doesn't work. Can someone confirm this for me? I'm thinking I might go home and put the old assembly back on with the current motherboard. If the sound works with the motherboard, then I'm assuming it's that missing part. I think the seller is full of s**t but then if I were a phone expert, I wouldn't be here asking questions. Any thoughts?
