blown speaker again 10 phones in 3 months

is it just me or are they all doing it? and i dont think sticking a pin in the two holes cures it properly...all that does is take the volume of received call down as your stopping the speaker moving in the earpiece ....
i am now not adjusting it to max to see if it lasts more than 2 weeks on phone number 10

10 phones?? either you're ultra fussy or the repair centre is sending you back the same phone again and again. For the sake of argument lets say the probability of a N95 having a faulty speaker is 1/100... the probablity of 10 in a row having faulty speakers is 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1 🙄

no 10 different phones, i know of 4 other people with the same problem.
i have never been without a phone 4 brand new ones, 6 recons, i just got a another brand new from them.

My advice would be to stop poking pins through the earpiece! This sounds far more like the reason for your earpiece deaths (presumably this is what you mean when you say "speaker" given the phone has two speakers on the sides).

Sounds wrong I know but it does work.

My earpeice speaker went wafty on me the other day and I had seen this 'fix' somwhere before, so I tried it and now the speaker is fine...............for now.

no the normal earspeaker fails then the cure to help it not properly cure it is to put a pin in it.... i would hardly being putting a pin into a working speaker would i ?
duh

look here w w w.n95users.com/forum/its-broke/2019-earpiece-speaker-distorted-read-here-fix.html[/url]

So you believe everything you read on the net? I can assure you that poking sharp implements through speaker membrames is definitely no good for their longetivity. As a short term fix? Go for it, given I suppose that it needs replacing anyway with that squealing vibration I read about (but am lucky not to witness on mine first hand). But dont expect when it has had holes poked through it that it is going to last at all.

look i only stuck a pin in it after 9 replacements, do you think i am that much of a numpty i would stick a pin in a fully working phone?

its hardly a problem caused by myself... its the poor quality speaker that's shipped with the n95
