Cannot hear on earpiece unless the speaker is on for a Motorola i580 cell phone

The earpiece might be bad.

Same problem with 2 of my phones! Its either the earpiece that is broken or it needs a new flex cable. These are not very hard to fix. You buy the parts on ebay for less than $10 and you can do it yourself. There are videos on youtube of how to take apart an i580. Hope this helps!

Your AK mobile brand Motorola has an ear piece problem.

Means the speaker in your phone used for hearing someone when they call is damaged, and it needs to be replace.

So take it to your nearest repairer to remove the damaged earpiece and fix another for you.take care.

There are two things involved, Its either the earpiece is bad or the problem is from the phone board. I have seen cases like this.

Maybe you should try changing the earpiece first and let's see what happens.

You might just get use earphone to save you the stress for the main time

take care

check and replace the earpiece speaker
if not try to rework the UEM

this sounds like a broken earpiece speaker you might be able to find a replacement one on-line and replace it or if its still under warranty send it back in and get it replaced

If the problem is intermittent, and is affecting multiple components we are talking about a damaged ribbon cable. This cable feeds information from the main board to the board in the flip top. if damaged, you may see these symptoms or more; flickering screen, scratching or no sound from earpiece, screen blacks out, and all the symptoms may fluctuate when the phone is opened or shut. The only reason your speaker phone still works is its placement on the device. Here is a link to a public site that ranked it the top google results.

pls rate this post as fixya and good luck!!!!!!

flip your phone open,look at your display screen if the speaker icon has a slash on it the speaker is muted.flip your phone closed on the top of the phone depress the left button,you must have hit it accidentally.hope that helps you. I have the same phone and that happens alot.

That means your earpiece speaker is out. It could either be damaged or just dirty. The easiest way is to file an insurance claim. But if you are good with electronics you can take it apart and replace the speaker. However on some of the V3 models the earpiece speaker is a part of the LCD and cannot be individually replaced.

have the earpiece replaced
