Just recently changed my screen cover, I thought everything was fine but then I found out that my speaker, most sounds are coming out of my ear piece. Music, ringing is coming out of the ear piece.
The season I found out this issue was that my sms alerts weren't making sounds so I found a new app to make a noise via the ear piece.
If I try and put a call on speaker, I can't hear it because the USB speaker section is no longer responding.
Just wondering if the person who replace the screen would of made a mistake or is there some how a way to get the speaker working again?

I searched and could not find any info on this, so sorry if it has been asked before.
When my ear piece is plugged in to the unit, the ringer will not ring (produce sound) through the speaker, it only rings (produces sound) through the ear piece. Is there a setting I am missing? Or, has anyone else had this problem...thanks!
That is normal, when you plug in the earpiece sound is diverted to the earpiece and the speaker is dead, once you remove it the sound will return to speaker, why would you want sound through the speaker while using the earpiece?
Thanks for the reply. I must not have asked the question very well.
I do understand that the sound is diverted to the ear piece while it is plugged into the phone. And I understand that voice needs to be because you want to hear what people are saying.
However, many times I carry the phone in my pocket with the earpiece plugged into it. When it rings, I can not hear the ring because the ringing sound is also being diverted to the ear piece.
If you take a look at the Handspring TREO or other non PDA phones, the ringer will ring through the normal speaker reguardless if the ear piece is plugged into the phone or not. This enables you to hear the phone ring if you have the ear piece plugged in. Only the voice sound is diverted to the ear piece, not the ringing sound.
The feature of being able to hear the phone ring while the ear piece isplugged in is important to me. It appears that it is standard on other phones and I was looking to see if there is a setting, hack or ajustment to make this happen on my phone.
Sorry for the long post and not explaining it well the first time.
All the best.
That would be so nice ... I miss this feature in my old Nokia 9210 where there was a "Headset" profile that you can customise.
There is a bit silly solution for this I use it when I 'm in the car. Keep the headset jack a bit loosy ... don't make it firmly connected to the XDA. This way the ringer will come through the XDA but you will get the sound in the headset but only in the right channel :lol:
I don't mind it since I don't use the 2 earpieces for only phone calls ... only for MP3 files :lol: ... hope that will help
Sorry I am without my XDA for a few weeks, so I can't tell you what to do, but I can offer you hope! You can make the phone ring through the XDA when the headset is plugged in.
Head over to www.pdaphonehome.com and search through the forum there.
Thanks for that, I did go over there and could not find the subject, so I posted the topic there. Thanks again!
UPDATE....Updating the ROM to version A.20.17 fixed the issue
UPDATE # 2 Now I upgraded to WM2003 and I am experiencing the same problem...Any suggestions?
One day, after I took my X10 out of silent mode, the "boop" sound for volume adjustment wasn't clear. Tried music and it was quite obviously distorted. Sound through the headphones remained perfectly clear!
Music distortion is one thing, but this makes my ringer much quieter
If the headphones are clear, it seems like it can't be the internal amplifier.
Does anybody know where a replacement speaker can be found?
if i'm not mistaken, a speaker of that size cannot possibly give you the type of sound you would find on a desktop computer.
and if i'm not mistaken as well, speakers of all phones are really horrible, compared to using the headphones. so it's a normal thing.
i believe there are speaker accessories for the x10. look at SE's global website
To clarify:
The phone had clear sound for months.
One day, the sound was distorted.
It has remained distorted, even at low volumes.
The headphone sound is still clear.
Therefore, I suspect the speaker is damaged.
I don't want external speakers, I want to hear my ringtone when I get a call!!!
(bump)
Any sources for X10 parts???
why don't you send it to se that they repair it for you ?
here is a page with spare parts:

call me crazy, but blow (using your mouth!!) into the speaker holes. My old C905 had the same thing and it turned out to be dust/sand/junk that was stuck in the speaker hole - causing the speaker to distort!
worth a shot hey!
OK, so my earpiece speaker quit working most of the time. I figured it was just a broken part, and I ordered another one. However, when the new one got here, I discovered that it required removing the screen to replace it, and also requires that tri-wing screwdriver that nobody has, so I put that job on the back burner.
Then I discovered that with the call in Speaker mode, I can hear just fine.
So, it appears the earpiece speaker is not actually broken, right? I can hear it when the phone is in speaker mode (although it's real loud... lowest volume is still louder than the loudest normal earpiece volume). So that speaker MUST be working, if I can hear it... but just not working when not in speaker mode.
In that case, does this indicate something software-fixable with the earpiece speaker?
And more on point: is there any way to force the phone to always or by default answer and make calls in speaker mode?
When the phone is in 'speaker phone' mode, the sound is coming out of the speaker on the BACK of the phone (next to the camera), not the earpiece speaker. So if you are hearing sound just fine from the speaker on the back of the phone, that would just confirm that the problem is in fact the earpiece speaker.
I've had this problem too with putting the speaker in. It took a bunch of tries to realize that you really need to make sure the speaker snaps up in there and remains tight when you put the phone back together, if it slips out a bit it wont work.
Also, it's kinda hard to figure out if you've put it in upside down, so try flipping it a couple times to see what works. Look at the dust marks for evidence of how it was originally in there.
Best of Luck!

Maybe on YOUR phone, but on MY phone, the sound is coming from BOTH the speaker on the back, AND the earpiece speaker.
I mean, I guess it is remotely possible that somehow the sound coming form the rear speaker manages to make its way to the cavity where the earpiece speaker is and sound perfect, crystal-clear, and just like the earpiece speaker should sound. I find it unlikely, but it's possible, I suppose. I don't know any way to tell.
I found an app that will put the phone in default-to-speakerphone mode (Car Mode). This works kind of ok, but the problem is that plugging in a headset doesn't override it. Of course the whole purpose of this app is to keep it from going into headset mode when you plug something into the headphone jack. I just need to have the phone simply turn on the "speakerphone" speaker when I answer or place calls in normal mode.

I agree that it's difficult to tell, but that must be what's happening. The two speakers are just half an inch apart and are only separated by a few internal components that do little to muffle sound. I don't think it's unusual that the sound would be clear when putting your ear to the front top of the phone. I definitely admit though that it's difficult to verify this -- I was trying to find an app that could play a sound directly to individual speakers one at a time but I couldn't find anything.
But, even if we assume that you're correct and the earpiece speaker works, that doesn't really leave you with many options. If it's a software issue, then you should do a Nandroid backup and then try doing a 100% clean install to see if the problem disappears or not. If it doesn't, then it must be a hardware issue. If the hardware issue isn't a matter of simply replacing the earpiece speaker, then it's not something you would be able to fix anyway.

I imagine replacing the earpiece speaker would probably fix it.
However, it's just too risky for me to have to remove the screen and digitizer in order to replace the speaker, when I have a workaround that is working.
Anyone know of a way to replace the speaker without removing the screen/digitizer?
So here is my problem.
I have a vanilla I9100, and the phone's media speaker and the phone's non media mic broke at the same time. I was simply playing music off of the media speakers for a really long time which would justify the media speaker being gone, but I have no idea why the primary microphone which is used to talk on the phone is also done.
There are basically 2 speakers and 2 mics.
the mic on the bottom is the speaker which you talk to people with. the speaker on the bottom is the ringer speaker and system notification speaker.
The top module is a rca-jack module that also has a speaker and a mic.
this mic is used for camcorders and such, this mic works, i checked but the speaker on this guy is gone as i can't listen to music and i cannot hear anybody when talking on the phone. Also I can hear stuff when i plug in ear phones into the rca jack.
As of this point I am very confused.
I have been reading the service manual and also tearing apart my phone, These 2 items are completely different modules. I was wondering if any one can give me some insight into this before i go out and purchase unecessary parts for my phone.
Thanks alot in advanced.
Hello.
When i choose ringtone i hear stereo speakers but when my phone ringing is working only bottom speaker and is not so loud. Please help !
Well got a post before that happens to me to. Also when on loud speaker is the same don't know why but looks like a software issue not hardware.
But can any confirm that s9 plus is ringing with stereo speakers. I ask support and answer been " This is normal, s9 plus is ring with only bottom speaker."
Today i update software and i try again.
When phone is in the deks ring with stereo speakers and when i get it in hand stop top speaker and stay only bottom.
I thing its ok now.
Hi. When the phone is on the table both of the speakers have sound during the ringing at the incoming call, but when I touch it the bottom speaker doesn't work. Will be corrected?
same issue on my 2 sam s9 plus,,,,,,,, way< samsung way ?
can confirm it's only using bottom speaker while ringing.
It's to protect people's ears. Imagine if a tech illiterate person picked up the phone and didn't realise they had My pressed "Answer" and put the earpiece to their ear while it's ringing on full volume. The speaker does put out some sound but it's not at a high volume and turns off completely when the proximity sensor is obstructed.
