[Q] Epic microphone stopped working - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all-
I've seen a few threads related to this issue, but nothing recent and unfortunately no solutions.
The microphone on my Epic suddenly stopped working. Tried rebooting, removing the battery for a while, etc., no dice. When I hit the speakerphone button when making a call, people can hear me fine, but when I just use the phone as a phone, the microphone is dead.
Any advice?

Speaker Phone has stopped working

Hi All,
Just the other day my speaker phone stopped working. I can hear the people I am calling, but the microphone doesn't seem to work. They cant' hear me. Not at all, it is like I have the phone muted-- but it is not.
Any body else with this? Any ideas, besides hard reset to try?
Thanks

There are loads of software apps that could interfere with sound, have you installed anything recently that you can remember?
have you applied any "tweaks" that you can remember.
Does it only happen when on speaker-phone or during normal calls.
It may be worth removing the back cover to make sure that nothing has interfered with the Mic Mute button on the rear of the device.
Give us some more info an I'll try to help further.

Hi Beast0898
Here is a list of software that I have installed in the last 2 weeks:
CarlosP ToneManager
cRaCKwHoRe's Snooze options
merlot mToolbox
Shubaroo Contact Fix
tarkim Keyboard controller.
I had not used the speaker phone for a while. Not since I installed any of the above, so if it is a software interference, it could be any of the above. Ideas?
The mute button is not blocked. And it happens when I enter speaker phone by turning it upside down, and when enabling it with the button on the dialer.
Any ideas?
Did you get it to work? I've encountered a weird problem recently myself where suddenly all system sounds seem to stop, including dialing tones etc.. but if I let the phone go into speaker phone mode, that does work. I hang up the call and suddenly sounds are back.
It seems to only happen when I use Groovefish and/or Nitrogen, so I wonder if one of those is causing some weirdness, just haven't pinned it down yet.
if this is the same bug I had on mine, you can either toggle the speaker phone button twice or do this:-
There is an easy workaround for this problem. On your Touch Pro 2 go to the home screen. Slide to the "Settings" tab. Tap the "Menu" softkey and choose "All Settings". Tap "Personal" then "Phone". Open the "Advanced" tab and change "Reduce noise in phone calls" to "Never".

Help!! No Speaker SOUND on my EVO.

I recently noticed I wasn't getting any sound when I play Pandora. Also, my phone stopped ringing, speaker phone doesn't work. The only thing that works is vibrate. I did several hard resets and also wiped the phone from the bootloader. After hard resetting, and before installing any apps or making any changes to the phone, I tried calling myself to see if the speakers work, but they do not. I can make calls, so the earpiece works fine. Any ideas?
Update: Problem solved! I removed the battery 3 times before it eventually worked.
I have an idea!!!
Trying posting in the correct forum. That may yield you better results.

In Ear Speaker

Hi guys, I did a search in this Arc forum for In ear Speaker problems and couldn't find anything, so I chose to start a new thread. Just know I DID try to find info for this phone but I only found a few other threads about different phones.
My in-ear speaker does not work in calls. It is extremely quiet, as if the volume is turned all the way down. Thing is, I try turning up the in-call volume during a call and it does nothing. But the weird thing is, I went into the service menu to test the hardware (using the *#*#7378423#*#* trick) and tested the in-ear speaker and it works fine! Loud and clear! But then immediately following that I'll try a call and still will hear practically nothing. Putting the call on speakerphone allows me to hear the other party, as well as putting in a headset, so I am stumped. Tried pulling the battery and have rebooted the phone many times and the problem is still persisting.
AND, on top of ALL of that, the damn thing was working just fine the other day. I switched to this phone last week and have been making calls successfully being able to hear the other party just fine. But suddenly today it's deciding to not work in a call. This is really weird.
Has anyone else had this problem? What else can I try to fix it? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Blah a hard reset fixed it. Feel free to delete this post mods!

[Q] Dialer no sound

Hello note 2 users, I have no dialer sound when I'm making a call and other side can't hear me as well, this problem appeared randomly on a stock os so I thought maybe resetting the phone and installing CM11 or different radio will help unfortunately no. There are no issues with a speaker or sound everything works all right, recording voice works as well, also sometimes phone looses signal randomly but I tried the same SIM on a different phone and it worked ok. Any thoughts what can be wrong?

Microphone not working during calls

Hello,
Spent all night/morning trying to find a fix to this issue but to no luck!
Basically during calls my voice isn't heard at all (But I can sometimes hear my own echo) (Tried numerous ROMS based on stock and CM) but when I put my device on speakerphone I can be heard. Blowing into the mic during a normal call emits a normal blowing noise down their side of the phone but speaking into the mic directly does nothing.
I've tried cleaning the mic out but again nothing, no debris etc.
I've already sent my phone back due to a raised screen and LG didn't fix it- they sent back photos of a completely different phone (wasn't even a G3) and I've heard nothing since my complaint a few weeks back so I don't want to send it off once again.
Any ideas?
Thank you
