Guest contact Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hi! I have a problem with my speaker of my ZTE blade. The sound from it is metallic and distored. And it is really impossible to hear person, you speak to. As this phone was bought in London ant then transferred to Ukraine I have no local support here. So my only chance is to replace speaker by myself. the problem is - the is no such speakers in Ukraine =( Does anybody know what to do? May be some one know the model of speaker used in ZTE blade, so I can purchase it by internet. May be some one have fully broken ZTE blade, so You can send it to me (I'll pay for shipping), or get speaker from blade, and send just speaker? Thanks!

Guest Andy58 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Quite often you will find that the membrane over the speaker has got crinkled. Try pursing your lips around the speaker to create an air-tight seal and then suck air gently. You should hear a slight pop as the membrane pops back out. If the sound is less distorted but still not quite right, simply reverse this process. Purse your lips to the phone again and give it a gentle blow. In many cases, this will cure the issue. Perform the procedure with care and at your own risk. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest contact Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Hi! Thanks to everybody! You are right, it seems that the speaker is one to one with iPhone 4. I`ve just purchased it. In few days I`ll make a replacement, and show a report. Edited January 11, 2012 by contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest contact Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi to all! Yesterday evening I have made a replacement. Here is short description: 1. iPhone speaker: 2. Our patient. and card(I used it to open clips) 3. Taking of Sim card, memory card, battery. 4. Remove 8 screws 5. Remove back panel 6. Next I used pliers to get of old speaker 7. You can see now together 2 speakers 8.than I inserted new speaker 8. And collected everything into one phone =) I is working! Testing of speaker showed, that really problem was with it. With new one sound is not metallic or distoreshed. But new IPhone speaker is really silent. So I think that speakers have different incoming resistance, but look similar. The volume is lower than it was, but it is enough to talk =) So I can use ZTE again! Thank every one who helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Yes the speech is about ear speaker. I used the same speaker as from ebay link (here it is). May be You`ll be lucky, i have just bought it in Ukraine, it may be not original. sound volume is lover on 35-45%. My old Nokia shouts, if differ with it. I had no possibility to try it in loud places, but I think it`ll be hard to hear person. So I think I`ll try speaker from K810i next. Let's get ready to rumba!

Guest NELLY11 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I take it no soldering is required for this. Is there much risk to the phone? Mine has intermittant crackling so will follow this with interest. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NELLY11 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Next 7 weeks i geht a lot new genuine earspeakers from ZTE Blade. I have an original replacement but am nervous about taking apart the phone and it not working again. Did the speaker seperate easily? Any major pitfalls as i could do with cleaning the dust away also Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WAWA72 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 its very easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NELLY11 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks for the reply Once the back plate is off and you can access the speaker, does it just pop off or require some force to remove it, is it easy to refit? Which clips were opened using the credit card? I looked for a more comprehensive dismantle tutorial but couldnt find one ;0( Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WAWA72 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 You neee only your fingenail to remove the speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NELLY11 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Can the anti tamper sticker be removed and replaced with ease. I am still under warranty but fear that if i return i may get a diffwerent phone rather than mine repaired and i would not know the history of the new one. But warranty still handy if the phone died completely thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shmizan Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I replaced my speaker today. I notice no difference in sound level so far. will report if I do. I also ripped the side keys' cable by accident and the volume control buttons do not work anymore. so that means goodbye to modding for good I guess.. can't use recovery without it :) watch out for that one when you take your phone apart.. it was the hardest part..

Guest NELLY11 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) how did you manage to rip that ? is it better to start at the opposite side? did you get any photos? Has it solved the problem? regards Edited February 2, 2012 by NELLY11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shmizan Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 no photos, just follow the teardown guide on youtube.. I just pulled too hard. also this new speaker has also started giving stupid noises. I've had it with this phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
