Looks like I might be out of luck.
After 2 or 3 emails back and forth between myself and ishare (they asked me to blow into the speaker with a hairdryer............), they eventually came back and said something like "We wonder if you have a solution to this problem"...hmmmmm
I asked if they would replace it, and they have not got back to me since.

So I thought I would investigate.
Took the back off, and noticed the speaker wires had some crushing (and the bare wire was exposed on the +ve)
Figuring that was the issue, I trimmed back the wires past the crushing, and stripped them ready to re-solder.
Before I soldered though, just did a quick test by touching the wires to the solder points....and nothing 
So I thought maybe the speaker was dead. Did a quick test by touching the +ve and -ve to the terminals of a AAA battery...and sure enough, the speaker puts out static. So the speaker is fine.
Seems like the 601 isn't sending anything to it 

Alas.. I am not good enough with electronics to figure out any more than that.

It still works fine with headphones, but I don't always want to play with the phones on.

bummer.

You should probably see what isharegifts says first (they'll probably require you to pay shipping back to china    )

Cheers for the internals. Might well come in handy!

Yeah. I emailed them last night... They got back to me pretty quick, but mainly to ask the obvious questions like...was I sure I had the volume up!

Anwyays, I replied back saying I was sure it was a hardware fault and had factory restored etc etc, but have heard nothing back from them as of yet. But fingers crossed, hopefully they will replace it.

I'm trying to unpack the boot.img to modify some parameters (especially the init.rc file inside boot.img) with no results. I've tried the split_bootimg.pl tool but I failed.
It always says android agic not found. Giving up, so nothing is extracted. Any help? Someone with experience unpacking boot.img files?

@skelton- I didn't have any success in the split bootimg script either. Think it has something to do with ubifs filesystem in use as opposed to yaffs or ext4. I tried looking into that previously, what I have came up with is the script doesn't work for our boot.img. I've tried multiple different scripts and even manually hex editing the image to separate the two manually. I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't found the documented way of doing it that works for ours.

@leathco-
1)factory reset your device after removing stock apps/emulators. If you ran any of them before removing them it leaves residual stuff in your user's /data/ partition that will prevent installing/updating similar(stolen exact same) programs.

2)I will check the incompatible apps thing, but I think it's because of the xperia play build.prop file. I want to build a stock one and a xperia play one so you can chose which one you want depending on your uses. Forcing the uninformed to use what I prefer to use is wrong IMO. I'll fix it in the near future.

3)this is probally tied to 2 or 1, try factory reset via settings->privacy->factory reset (not reflash)

4)that 3GB should be mounted at /mnt/flash/ it's a fake "internal sd" you also have a data partition (where all your installed apps and settings etc go) of about 500mb that sits on nand (it's all the same space really) all the android system partitions (boot, system, logo, recovery, cache) are all occupying the same 4GB. All the android system files expanded take up about ~500MB, plus ~500MB for data, ~3GB fake sd = 4GB

@snesfan, bad news then about the boot.img. I'm trying by all means modify something to avoid the 600 mhz issue, but I don't Know what else to do. I wrote to JXD to ask them a release of the sources, or at least a new firmware with the cpu clock at 800 mhz at least, but there's no response at all by JXD (I'm not surprised about that). I wish something could be done, but I'm lost at the moment.

Changing the subject a bit lol anyone tried this app for remapping ect... been updated for onlive nontouch games

Here's another Onlive type app

Surely this could be good for S601 users

@skelton- there are alternative ways of overclocking without source if you are a "mad skillz hacker" like adjusting what clock speed is being reported by injecting stuff into the memory... but I'm not one of those lol...

At least we don't have a locked down bootloader like my Motorola phone.
Currently the only* way to overclock that is with kernel modules that were first released by one of those mad skillz hackers back in January.

Considering that some of the slatedroid folks have overclocked amlogic kernels by replacing 800000000 for XXX000000 in the uncompressed kernel image, I bet it would be comparatively easy to throw something similar together... if we had a mad skillz kernel hacker around here somewhere

* edit: well, the only GOOD way.

I read that slatedroid post, and what they did is actually reasonably simple. If we can't get the source, it should definitely be possible.

Truth be known I'm getting fed up with this device.. it could be so much better, I know its only cheap lol,
I haven't used it very much.... well I've been playing me ps vita... anyway

Maybe we could contact bitrider who made the custom rom for the yinlips G18,  I can see myself ending up selling it on

Just a thought

I understand how you feel. Device is quite good, but with the 600 mhz clock is underpowered in my opinion. It's a shame to see some Amlogic m3 devices like the ramos w6hd or the zenithlink c91 running at 1 ghz and the jxd running at 600 mhz.

is someone working on the minecraft controls? that would be my buying point over the motorola flipout.

if anybody wants to sell his or her jxd, message me
