Speaker not working

hi guys..
I was watching a video clip and suddenly I see I can't hear any audio from it. I was surprised.. I tried to soft reset it couple of times... but with no luck... I couldn't here any tap sound or even when the phone rings.. nothing sounds.. and finally I did hard reset... but in despair.. still the same problem. but when I try to shake my jam. I could feel something moving.. i don't know if any bit/piece is disconnected.. when i try to tap it hard at the speaker.. i could hear to the music and after few seconds.. its stops.. again..
Has anyone come across such a problem.. I think probably my speaker needs to replaced.. any suggestions or solutions to this..
I would await for ur replies.
kindly advise..
thanks

i have the same problem to. Please Help!

This is a "common" problem with the Magician. Mine had it as well. I sent it for repair since it's still under warranty. Some ppl had the guts to open it and fix the loose contact themselves. So if you're not a techie just take it to your service centre for repair :-(

No sound?
Hi. i had a similar problem some days ago. no sound at all from my magician. i've discovered that the problem was that my magician thought i had headphones conected. a simple insert of a headphone jack and removal brought my sound back to live. No problems since than.

Just a gentle few bangs did the trick
After reading several suggestions and info about the speaker problem, I tested my 02 mini with a song. It played ok through the speaker. So the speaker works, but appears to not "Switch" on when being used as a phone. Anyway long story short - I hit the corner of it into the palm of my hand a few times and da da it works again. I also blew through the speaker hole. Someone mentioned that somewhere as well. Hitting into my hand seemed to provide enough impact without creating any damage.

Had same problem too, and sent it away for repair. Three weeks later and the repair company are sending me a replacement this week as apparently they were unable to fix it!
Fault appeared without any warning and I had been using the phone pretty heavily all day. All I hope is that the replacement will have a newer ROM installed to save my ineptness from screwing up an upgrade.

This Jam is a peice of shi#e. I bought one in February, had various problems with both speakers - regular earpiece was unclear and speaker phone was just too damn low in volume.
Some people claimed this was an exception, or that it was the ROM or whatever. Right......
Finally sent the Jam back for warranty repair in May- there were many other defects with the phone that accumulated. I had bought insurance as well so I told them to just replace it. The seller admitted that this (audio/speaker is a common problem in this phone)
I just got the insurance replacement today - yep ages later. This one has firmware 1.11 WWE.
Guess what: the speakerphone on this one (brand new replacement) doesn't work - at all. Not at all. This is brand new, out of thebox. Incredible....
What is worse is that I am going on a month-long trip in a couple of days, so there is no way I can get another one - and by the looks of it, even if I got a replacement, the chances are that it too is a piece of ****#e without a functional speakerphone. This I-mate Jam (or whatever the 50 name sit goes by) is just a low quality piece of garbage.
HTC/I-Mate is garbage company. There is no chance in hell I will be buying any future Jam or I-mate phone.

List of Known Defects on Magician

This is the time to write down ALL the bad things of this buggy PDA. I've encountered ALL of these, and have NO solutions to these, and I've tried ANYTHING.
I'm bored to have a PDA which colud be assembled and tested WAY better; but that is.
Note that mostly are device specific (huh, in my case I'm VERY lucky, I've encountered them all )
My Device:
1) doesn't wake up when cold
2) have BIG problems of RF leakage that caused
2.a) hard reset when registering network
2.b) degradation of the external speaker
3) has a crappy camera
4) has deficienty GPRS (now inaccesible because the RF leakage)
5) has by now damaged ExtRom with fixed Imate logo
5.a) this cause the warranty to Vanish. Puff!
6) has double incoming calls, that seems only I have
7) has a null customer care; expansys SUCK
feel free to add link that would resolve these prob... and other known mess of course...

Sorry you have so many issues. I have experienced none of those things with my JAM since May 2005. There was the GPRS issue with a certain ROM, but that has long since been resolved.

While I sympathise with your individual bad experience with your HTC Magician, this is not shared with most of the members/owners here.
I don't agree with the way you have numbered your complaints just to make the list look longer. This is because most of them are all related to one technical problem (RF leakage) and a bad attempt to fix this problem by installing other ROMS that has lead to more software problems.
I have to agree with you on the crappy camera one ;-) although by all means this is an average quality mobile phone camera and not a digital camera replacement.
You cannot blame Expansys' bad customer care on HTC either.
Bear in mind that the MDA Compact is one of the most succesfull PDA phones for huge carriers such as T-Mobile!

Sorry to hear that but that cannot be said of the magician in general. My Qtek ist working day in day out just perfectly and is by far the most reliable phone/pda I ever had, way better than Ipaqs and Nokia phones.
The camera is not that bad either. Once set up correctly (maybe you should do that) you can get some pretty good pics out of it after photshopping them a little and resizing them down to 640x480. They look far better than the one from my old Nokia 7610. Maybe the difference is that I dont expect the cam to rival the one of my 4megapixel Sony.
And HTC will never offer customer care because they dont sell the devices. If anything sucks here it is iMate. I never need Qtek support so I cant say anything about them.
What about the pros?:
- Its small and lightweight
- It has nearly all com modules except WLAN (can be added with SD-card like Spectec), and who need 3G/UMTS anyway?
- It has lots of power (esp when using PHM)
- It has a great screen, bright and hella sharp
- It sounds great (call quality way better than with the 7610)
- Its has massive RAM in the S110 version
- It is plain sexy

Yea..i agrees with others...frm the day i bought my xda mini..its not giving me problems so far....its compact and sxy too

Yeah me too.
My Orange SPV M500 works almost fautlessly. I don't really use the camera much but then I have a 'proper' digital camera for taking pictures.
I say 'almost' because sometimes, to use GPRS I have to reset the radio by going into and then out of flight mode.
It has to be said that this forum is littered with people who have tried to 'upgrade' thier PDAs by flashing the ROM and have come unstuck.

Yeah, I agree with you all, but now I have these probs. I upgraded it the first time to see if the "low temperature wake up" thing had resolved. I accidentally putted in the Imate ROM, because the ROMs on the FTP site aren't signed. After TWO months of QTEK "repairing" they said that the unit isn't repaired (they cannot upgrade the rom); after trying to contact those idiots by call and e-mail we finally had a transparent service.
After ONE week of using the RF leakage came... and made it. It somehow damaged the PDA. I assure that isn't a software problem, cuz I have tried 4 Radio Stacks: no solves.
I IMPLORE xda-developers to SIGN the ROMs that are placed in the ftp.
Hope U will understand me. I know that there are also good ones out there, but mine isn't. Sorry.
NB: the camera is awful in semidark and dark conditions: otherwise it can take relatively good pictures. AND after 2 week of use, I noticed that the video longer than 20 secs have distortion: and this before upgrading anything.

Ive had my MDA Compact, now flashed to Imate for a few days now and after numerous incompatibilty issues with applications, I have a rough idea what programs to steer clear from so no major problems. Thought I was having probs setting up my Orange GPRS connection but after realised that is wasny going to connect as out of credit.... Duh me, looking for techi reasons instead of obvious ones lol

Are you Evrae who used to make all the Symbian themes on mobile9?

My JAM is one of the best PDA/Phone I have ever had...
it's small, good looking and had it all ( except WiFi and KB )
and after proper tweaking and installing newer ROMs.. it's really fast.. stable, and extremely reliable...
I agree that camera sucks... but in good light conditions ( ie. outside in the sun light ) picture quality are awesome especially if you photoshop them... some of them are printable!!!
Video on the other hand is the best thing in this device... It's much more reliable than normal phones with cameras that can record video.. resolution is higher, and can record for unlimited time in AVI + MPEG formats ( + 3GP with a registry hack ) and this is much better to me than STILL Photos
anyway.... I hope you'll find solutions to your problems... search the forum for more info
cheers

Duke911,
I agree with you that the camera can take some wonderful pictures, and retouching them in pocketartist on the go is a very good thing. But I'm still in trouble with videos: the first 20 secs are ok but after these the video is flickering in a horrendous manner. Have tried anything .
But I'm still very happy. Even if my Qtek has half blowed up the radio, it remains a PDA: and what a PDA! WAY fast and stable, I only need resetting it when cold. A thumb up for this! I'm using it as a normal mp3 player with some great gamez to play...
Cheers,
MocciJ

MocciJ, why don't you install the original factory ROM and send it over at the service centre for repair?
As you said it's a very nice pDA but it's a pity that yu can't use it as a phone!

KTA, I've tried ALL methods to downgrade to the Qtek ROM or simply to have the Qtek logo. Simply I can't, because the upgrade process give me the error 113 when writing extrom... I've tried at least ten different ROMs without results... It seems to have damaged extrom
For the repairing center, I'd already send it; for half month I had no responses, the other half they tried to repair it without success. They said that I must pay 269€ for a new motherboard...!
Now that I'm in all these problems, buying another one is less expensive than repair it... The case is also scratched (even the screen)...

Do not support mumsms+!!!!!

cud be hardware related problem,better take it to a repair shop

1. Is the headset working?
If working, probably the speaker. I just replaced my X8 speaker last night after it sounded tinny after a hard drop! Good thing I have a defective Nokia with a "good" quality speakers. In fact, the sound is even better even before dropping the phone...
Good luck!
2. If not working, what are the things that you did to your phone before the sound failed?

Thank you all guys!
I torn apart the phone,clean from inside it was..
I used another speaker from a nokia phone i had,same effect.
Although when i used the speakers without the plastic inside cover and applied some pressure both worked fine!
It's an assembly problem then because not much pressure is put on the speaker so it's connectors are in touch with the motherboard...anyway i gave the phone back to my friend and gave me my money back!
Time to look for another x8 somewhere else...

Samsung Galaxy S3 Camera hardware faults

there seems to be an awful lot of faulty s3's with dodgy camera modules, just type in "warning camera failed s3" in google
my first s3 died on me randomly (not battery issue) and would refuse to boot or be recognized via usb port,
what the heck is going on, this is supposed to be a flagship handset, seems like a lot of shoddy built quality

Yes I'm Facing a camera problem to, the camera worked one month then started to have error messages, and now just don't work no more at all.
Front camera is working.
unfortunately it was a present from family abroad and they lost the warranty bill so I guess I will have to buy a new camera module and replace it my self, hopefully that will repair it..

Its called warranty guys send it in. If u lost the warranty search for camera modules there is a thread and you can download the latest drivers might be worth a shot
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium HD app

slightly off topic, have you noticed the left and right audio channels are the wrong way round when you record a video and play to back on a pc, left is right and right is left, try tapping the left then the right mic as you record a video, should be a simple software fix if people get to know about it.

Its probably the hardware. But dont tell your dad yet and try this if its possible.
Try opening the back of your phone and look at the battery if there are any changes like, it became slightly big. If this is the case try buying a new battery if not, its your HARDWARE. And also, your underlined statement really has no effect on the phone. The heating of your phone is the one that caused your device to malfunction.
Hope your daddy does not kill you.

:crying::crying::crying: looks like the phone has to go the repair shop. but according to my explanation( 100% accurate), how is it possible that the speaker went crazy? Doesn't it seem illogical???

Maybe, but the thing here is that your phone heated that much and probably caused the silver little things in your phone to melt making the other wires removed from their default base and going to another after being cooled off. Thats why.
Hope your phone is still alive.:laugh:
P.S. Take extra care when handling your phone. Just a reminder.
