In my store we don't even look into whether it's rooted or not unless it's a software issue. I wouldn't worry about unrooting it. And as far as repair time, it takes me about 5 minutes to do it...so I don't know why it would take someone an hour. you just unscrew the back housing, pull the old one out, pop the new one in, screw it back together, and you're on your way.
[EVO 4G General] snowboarda42:
I'd still unroot it just in case they look, couldn't hurt and it would suck if they flagged your account because of it.

Mine is blown as well, it's really annoying with HTC. My hero, about 2-3 months and the speaker blew out.. I used pandora on it over that speaker a lot tho so once I bought my EVO I decided not to play music or anything on the speaker at all... just the ringtones and things like that... and it still effin blew in about 2 months and has been since.

I'm not really wanting to unroot and go through all the hassle but I would really like it fixed =\

**edit** After a quick google search, replacing the speaker looks really easy.. I might just give it a go myself. Where is a good place to get a few tools like the t5 driver? And do you guys know a good place to get a replacement speaker?
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
You can get the screwdriver at Sears and probably a Lowes/home depot

Sent from my Evo while i should be working
[EVO 4G General] evired:
Lowes has a kobalt precison screwdriver set by the screwdrivers on the wall for about $7. Set comes with t4,t5,t6,t7,t8,t9,10 and t15. You can get the speaker off ebay. Same speaker thats in most htc devices. 5 minutes to install very easy if you dont want to unroot and dont have the repair plan.
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
You can get a replacement speaker form this guy for about $12.00. Or you can order a 5 pack of them for about $50.00 from globaldirect.com.

ok this is getting wierd now.... im thinking maybe its the power amp app that im using...if i get a phone call the ringtone is very loud and its clear....it doesnt sound blown....but soon as i go to the media players i cant turn it all the way up because itll be fizzy like its blown...
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
PowerAMP has audio controls that could cause clipping of the sound (the distortion you hear). I'd try adjusting the EQ settings.
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
I haven't used this guy yet, but as my speaker is getting worse by the day I will shortly. I did a bunch of research on the net though, and a quite a few folks have ordered from him with good results. He orders the speakers from global direct (they have a 5 speaker minimum order), then he marks them up a little and resells them one at a time.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
**edit** Nevermind, I see what you were saying. I just ordered one from him.. didn't like using paypal because I have a payment dispute currently not settled with them. They better not try to jack my credit card info, even tho I used the "don't have an account" option..
[EVO 4G General] thfoster:
I'm having the same problem with both the rear speaker and the main speaker. I called Sprint and told me I would have to take it in. The closest repair facility is about 30 minutes away and with my current work schedule I wouldn't be able to get over there for a while. Called back and got a very knowledgeable tech who is having a replacement unit sent out.

Hope this doesn't happen again. I rarely have my phone at full volume, never play music over the rear speaker.

[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Good to hear that all is well again. :D Out of 3 Evos in our house, we've had 4 speaker replacements. Much easier to swallow when you have insurance, but a pain nonetheless. P.S. - HEY HTC! YOU KNOW YOU MIGHT HAVE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN WHEN A REPLACEMENT PART IS TYPICALLY SOLD IN BULK.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
A phone call would be the true test. Call someone and put it on speaker with volume up.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
Unfortunately....sold out though. :(
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
if you can't tell there is no reason to replace it.
[EVO 4G General] .psd:
Many of my friends speakers have blown on their headphones, car speakers, radios, etc. They've even blown my speakers (headphone) on multiple occasions, and I use high quality headphones only. I have never blown speakers because I use common sense to determine if the volume is too high. Even the highest quality speakers will blow when you blast them too hard.

The Evo speaker isn't that great, my guess is you blasted ****ty music on it like it's Bose Surround or something, or just kept the volume too loud in general (speaker phone, loud ringtones etc). Maybe you even had volume increasing options turned on.
[EVO 4G General] mrfyisms:
I see your point but if I turn it all the way up (no tweaking) and it blows out, I would call that a bad design. HTC shouldn't allow me to turn it up loud enough to damage it or needs to use a better speaker.

You have been EVOfied.
[EVO 4G General] BuddaBelly:
I have replaced both of my speakers. I bought 5 ear speakers and 5 rear speakers. It's a good thing I bought several because it took 3 of the rear speakers to find one that sounded right. The ear speaker has some foam on it that can't be re used and because of that I have tried all 5 of the ear speakers and all of them rattle. It's pretty annoying to say the least. I have looked everywhere in hopes of finding one that has the foam on it but it looks like everyone buys from global parts which is the place I bought from. I wonder if the ear speaker from another phone can be used with better results?

Thats the bit confusing me DIGITAL TV .

When your network has an update for your phone you get it via KIES firmware update . So ask your network .

If you want to break the phones warranty you can flash an update yourself .

But you risk bricking your phone especially if you dont know what you are doing and fail to read instructions .

[Droid X General] brenneisec:
Did you make a backup before you flashed gummyjar's rom?
[Droid X General] KHeeney5:
Your contacts are synced with google, so they will redownload automatically. As for the SMS, you can't get them back.

If you made a backup (which you should always do) you can restore that to go back to how you were.

I need to send my current one back to verizon because of problems. Once I install madestock and unroot will they know the difference?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
If you have to send it back.. check out the 2.3.32 sbf (full) from mydroid world.

Then you will want to flash the 2.3.34 system only sbf.

You will need RSDlite 4.8 to flash both of these. Google around for "rootz wiki" for basic instructions on how to flash sbf files. First time you sbf, you will probably see it fail around 98 or 99%. this is normal (at least did my first time). you will need to boot into moto recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Then try another run of the sbf file and it should complete 100% successfully.

You can just run Maderstcok and if you do a factory reset before and after you will be fine.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
This discussion is about the free WiFi hotspots provided by AT&T. In the US almost every McDonalds and a lot of other places have WiFi provided by AT&T. If you are an AT&T customer these are supposed to be free to connect to, but the software that is on AT&T locked phones is not on unlocked phones purchased from Dell. Using these free WiFi hotspots helps prevent using up your data allotment.

I believe that what you are talking about is turning on the portable WiFi hotspot that the phone can provide to other devices.

You connect to AT&T hotspots through settings. Do the following:

It's been a while since I did this so I don't remember is you may be asked for your AT&T email account and password.

There is no app. It's just a setup.

Edit: Forgot to say you have to be at the hotspot e.g. McDonalds to setup the connections.

Literally every time I try to watch a video in HD on youtube, my connection goes to ****.

I can't download huge files wthout a download manager because they will fail. And where the download manager saves me is by continuing the transfer when I bring the network back up.

I can't play ps online or xbl because the traffic kills my connection.

The ONLY thing its good for is browsing webpages.. that's it!

I live close to a 4g tower cause when I'm peaking, I get 10-13mbps+ its just when tethering or not, the connection times out..

This phone [SAMUNG] has terrible implementation regarding its Wimax radio. I soo wish I could pull out the HTC hardware and stick it in, cause it never timed out like this. Nor did it cause data disconnect upon taking a call while on 4g and tethering..

PLEASE can someone look into why this is happening?

I have a similar situation with/without the fix. It seems my signal strength (or bars) have improved, whether perceived or real, but reliability is crappy.

[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
I honestly think that this may have more to do with the wimax technology and towers. I have a Clear bundle ( usb and home) and I live in full 5 bar and 10 bar coverage, and my speeds fluctuate greatly. Now on my phone I always get a solid connection and hardly any fluction albet slower speeds than the other hardware at times. I think the tech and the hardware have more margin of productivity and constant throughput error than sprint or clear wants us to know until they updrage to true wimax 4g. Just my thoughts, maybe your radio is one that doesn't like the tower close to your house.

Call and ask about tower issues, or maybe try a replacement phone, hopefully this is helpful.

Thanks for thr input guys, my problem is not my thuroughput its actually quite amazing. And rarely on the lowside. Usually 8.5ish most times.

But rather my problem has to do with the Load put on the radio, when downloading a file. Just like when I had problems with cable modems, it would crap out.

I actually did those wimax settings even tho I have te best signal, so great that I'm full bars inside my home at all times [unless I'm covering the radio in slide out mode]

I get it with or without the fix. At home and I am less than 1/2 mile from a verified 4G tower and even though I can at times get Speedtest results over 8Mbit there isn't anything that is constant about the connection. 4G is unusable most of the time because the connection will drop about once a minute which then ticks off the phone and this is in an area with a high signal coverage. I also have an Overdrive and it doesn't seem to suffer from the same issues or if it does it doesn't do it as bad.

The epic always have the problem with maintaining the connection. I can say my location doesn't make a difference for me, regarding this issue. But also how would I find out how close I live to a 4g tower? For the speeds I get, it has to be on top of my roof lol.
