6100 Faceplate issue...
😕
Well,
I bought a faceplate for my 6100 and I know that it wi9ll void the warranty. I'm not too worried about that, but here is the issue I have found and was wondering if anyone nows why this happens and if tehre is a solution.
When I install the new faceplate, the speaker for the speakerphone does not work very well. it is a lot quieter than with the original one on. I put the original one on and it worked fine. When you take the original one off and try to use speakerphone without a faceplate it is quite like having the new faceplate installed. So with that said I put the new one on and tried to see if I could get the Speaker phone to work and you have to press really hard on the spot where the speaker is to get it lo...

Well, I can say that I did put all of the pieces around the speaker back on the aftermarket faceplate, but it still didn;t work. the holes on this one are just about the same size too. Even when the phone has no faceplate, the speaker is not very loud. it's wierd. You have to push hard on the faceplate to get the sound to be normal volume.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. 'Pretiate it!

sounds to me like the original faceplate applies some amount of pressure to the speaker, which somehow makes it louder. Maybe rig some sort of ring around the speaker that will press down on the speaker with your new faceplate on there. Also, if you bring your faceplate to a corporate store, they can send the phone out to have the faceplate installed by an LG technician, and it will keep your warranty intact. Hope that helps.

really? I had no idea they could do this so the warranty would not be void. Is this for real? I never knew that. Good to know!!

im sorry, disregard my last message. i was misinformed about having a technician put the faceplate on your phone. i was told this could be done by a US Cell manager, but apparantly he didnt know what he was talking about. Again, sorry about the bad info, but i think what i said about putting something inbetween your faceplate and speaker should work.
