Now the speaker doesnt work anymore.
Thats ok
if the speaker gets too annoying, shoot me a dm with your phone model. i fix phones professionally and can help you diagnose and source parts.
Thanks for the offer, will get back to you eventually :)

unless it’s a VERY cheap android it will be able to just be swapped.
only phones I see that need soldering for this kind of thing are vortex and blu phones.
edit: oh, and pixels. fuck pixels, absolutely my least favorite devices to work on.
That’s actually very surprising, I’ve kinda assumed everything in a tight form factor like a phone, tablet etc would not use connectors to save space
it definitely used to be like that. these days it seems most things use connectors, my guess it they’re cheap enough to manufacturer that it outweighs the trouble of manufacturing one solid component (with screen soldered to board, port soldered to other side of board, etc).
I don’t really know enough to say 100% but I would guess that connectors make the manufacturing logistics wayyyy easier, with the added benefit of making it more repairable.
some phones still have soldered parts tho, pixels for example tend to need microsoldering for port replacements. iPads as well, so it definitely varies on more niche or purpose dependent devices, particularly when manufacturers think no one will ever open it up to fix it.
Just quick connect.
The adhesive on the battery was the challenge, even warmed up it resisted.
I already had the phone open and reconnected pins… Didnt work… So it is what it is
So when u call someone do you tell them u are deaf and just talk one way?
Didnt try it yet.
The broken speaker is at the bottom, not the one on the topwhere your ear is, so im confident it will work
Ah on my phone both make sound as speakers
