Nokia Lumia 520 Earpiece Ways Problem Solution

Earpiece or as some people call it speaker is placed on the top front of Nokia Lumia 520. It is used for listening phone calls nothing else. All the other sounds come out of IHF speaker which is placed on the back bottom of the mobile phone.

Normally changing Nokia Lumia 520 earpiece is pretty straight forward since it is not soldered on the motherboard all you have to do is remove the old one from the external casing and place a new one in its place. But if that does not work or if your earpiece module is okay but you still can’t listen to a phone call then you are going to have to make the jumpers as shown in this diagram.
