Yes it is possible, but only one of the speakers can be moved, because there is no place for second (it's still better than the original anyway). Here is what to do:

1. Remove both the E398 and E2 speaker
2. The placeholder for speaker in the E2 case is smaller than the E398 speaker size. However you have lots of useless plastic around the placeholder - extend it by burning it with soldering-iron
3. Once the new speaker fits (and hopefully you DID NOT BURN SOME OTHER IMPORTANT CHIP TOGETHER WITH THE PLASTIC) - just connect it to the same connectors that was used for the E2 speaker
4. Put some glue carefully, so it will not shake when you are moving your phone
5. Close the case and enjoy more bass music


P.S. So far I know only one person from Motofan that did that... Do it on your own risk mate - you must have very good hands for the soldering-iron use

with stock firmware of e398, the speaker output is really bad.
but wit modded fw, it truly great! it beat se k750i.

thanx to Exploited!

i dont want to take a risk.. so far, E2 are not available in malaysia now.. they are currently to stop release it.. and the part for E2 is not sell at outlet store.. ermm thats why i dont want to modd the hardware.. LOL
----------------------
kalau berani cube laaa, aku rase aku org yg terakhir beli E2.. tu pun kotak die dah kene gigit tikus.. klu nasib ko bek.. cari laa E2 lain dulu buat hardware modding. spare part E2 pun susah nak jmp woo.. Selamat ye.. LOL

Few days later he has a good idea on how to remove the wheeze effect on loud music:

As you can see that way he can close the panel without a windage (which exists when the speaker is packed with the protector):

Wew...thats..... I cant believe people want to take a high risk for hardware modification just for a little satisfaction.

I personally wont do that and prefer to buy a new phone. :)


Title: Re: E398 speaker in E2
Post by: fade2black on September 12, 2008, 10:01:31 pm
Good job, but high risk.
I think better to buy a portable aktive speaker (like E8 have: EQ3) :)


Title: Re: E398 speaker in E2

E398 is totally cheap and E2 is not that expensive phone anymore, so people can afford to play with them...

I can do it.But i have to know E2's power is enough for e398's speaker? Will the sound better? YOu know i can hear 1w sound with 1w speaker but i cant hear it more powerful in 10w speaker.If will be better i have 2 broken e398. Can anyone find the information about sound quality.And is it more loud?


Title: Re: E398 speaker in E2
Post by: Polar_BearXL on September 14, 2008, 10:55:21 pm
That's to risky, even if it produce a better sound quality, i prefer plugged in my gigantic headset or speaker, rather than mod the speaker, btw, it will be nice if you can put both E398 speaker in E2

Motorola v220 speaker is more compatible with E2, it also has louder sound as e398.

All answers are positive. Sound is better and louder. Power is enough.

You can buy an E398 replacement speaker from gsm service shop (that's how the Russian guy got it). It's totally cheap.

Yes i did it. But one problem is e398 has a box for speaker but there is no way to make speaker box to e2 with that speaker.And i have to do equlaiser setting but i cant do it.So much bass in it and its doing bad thing to sound a little.my volumetable is 25,25,25, speaker is good and phone is shaking like e398 in music.One problem is cant change equlaiser. I'm using it in treble boost.My firmware is maxx3. Can anyone help out this? Just give gain to trebles and reduce bass. I have to notice: Changing speaker is hard.I worked on it about 2-3 hours.If you played with electronis you can do it.And you have to use soldering iron good.Use 25w sol. iron.

Your volumetable is too high. It should be between 14 and 17 (it's guaranteed that on 14 it will not bump but it will be quiet).
