I encounter it too. I am from Singapore. I bought the phone about 2 weeks. Was very happy at the start. Now this prob happens. I only can use my ear piece to communicate.

Yep, same problem here. I have had two C905's which were faulty. Think i'm going to switch to another manufacturer now after being loyal to Sony for 5 years!

Exactly the same problem, first didnt work about a month ago, and just today the same thing happened. Will give it one more go then might think of changing manufacters. had Sony phones for about 5 years now!

I've got the same problem on my C905 too. After using it for 3 weeks. I called the service centre in Singapore and they tottaly deny that this is a common problem. So I wrote to them and referred them to this page. I'm working in Malaysia and have to wait till I get back to Singapore so they can get it fixed.... and not replaced by a new one.... bad bad bad I've got the same problem on my C905 too.

The same problem. Phone was working fine and now after less than two weeks I can't hear anything on the phone when someone else rings or if I ring them, no dial tone, no sound. Kiron Reid, Liverpool.

i have the same problem, im on orange, my gf is on o2 and has the same fault, orange will replace mine, this is the 3rd one ive had, o2 wont do anything for my gf, its shocking, theres no quick way around getting a replacement with o2 appart from sending the phone off to a service centre and from whats written in other forums thats taking weeks if not months for some people, surely s/e should be sorting something out for this i have the same problem, im on orange, my gf is on o2 and has the same fault, orange will replace mine, this is the 3rd one ive had, o2 wont do anything for my gf, its shocking, theres no quick way around getting a replacement with o2 appart from sending the phone off to a service centre and from whats written in other forums thats taking weeks if not months for some people, surely s/e should be sorting something out for this

My SE c905 has just gone the same way and its just 2 months old. I can't hear it ringing when I phone and can't hear the other person even though their phone has rung and they answer. I phoned Dialaphone customer services and it has to be returned for repair! Not happy as I'm in an 18month contract and don't want a faulty phone. Would have thought that under Trading Standards it should be replaced not repaired as not fit for purpose if it doesn't work!! My SE c905 has just gone the same way and its just 2 months old.

My mobile went same way yesterday. Can't hear phone ringing so don't know when it connects and can't hear or be heard by other person. Phoned Dialaphone today who say to return it for repair.

i have this same problem. i received the c905as a gift for my birthday. it was workin fine until recently. i was unable to hear people talking. teh only way i could resolve this was to use my headset or use speakerphone. i have this same problem. i received the c905as a gift for my birthday. it was workin fine until recently. i was unable to hear people talking. teh only way i could resolve this was to use my headset or use speakerphone.

the solution that merbdub gave works, but it only works while your holding the c button, once i take it off, the sounds goes, really annoying :l the solution that merbdub gave works, but it only works while your holding the c button, once i take it off, the sounds goes, really annoying :l

Seems like this loss of speaker is a 'common' problem then. Just came away from the Orange shop where - as I could not replicate the problem for them they would not replace it. So not happy with this I rang 150 and spoke to Customer services who stated that until 28 days were up it IS the responsibility of the shop. As I was still in the shop I had Customer dis-services explain this to the assistant - lo and behold they would not budge, company policy or some such twaddle - so in the end Orange are sending me a new phone tomorrow. But if it goes wrong again - they want to charge me 15 quid!
I am going back to my old K800.
Having had this phone for a little over 2 weeks I would definately NOT recommend it to anyone - I have a feeling it's multitude of problems will run and run.

ive had the same thing happen to me, right in the middle of a phone call i could no longer hear the person on the other end but they could hear me clearly also my 3 and 7 buttons have stopped working and scroll down key seems to be on its way out as well, and apart from crashing whenever i make a phone call or send a txt i havent notticed anything else wrong

ive looked up the speaker problem and all that can be done is whenever you make or answer a call, hold down firmly the cancel button you should be able to hear through your speaker then, but now the cancel buttonn is giveing up to :(

think ill just get my money back

Amazing - same problem. Phone is just three months old and suddenly I cannot hear anything except through the earphones or the loudspeaker. I'm trying the reset first before I bring the phone back.

on my 3rd C905 and its now developed the same fault. my software is up to date

now this one has to go to repair this time to fix, been told that all phones made before week 48 of 2008 has this fault.

Check under your batter for this info beside the fcc id, you should see 08w42 or something similar, if you have this before 08w49, then you phone has the same fault as all of us

I thought I did something wrong, However, this is clearly a hardware problem from SE. SE should better recall this phone! I thought I did something wrong, However, this is clearly a hardware problem from SE. SE should better recall this phone!

But.. once someone answers the call.. If you carry on pressing the C button, it mutes the call so they cant hear you.. :/

I have the exact same problem! I think its definitely a common problem, as evidently shown below...I dont know what to do, tried the C button, but that doesnt do anything, i've only had it for 2 weeks, but for some reason not allowed to return it?! Im guessing this can be fixable, but costing me isnt really a great thing! such a dissapointment especially as I really wanted this phone, and it was definitely a keeper!
