Oil in my voice call speaker! - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hey there ppl.
I got some olive oil in my voice call speaker (the one above the screen!) and now I can barely hear the voice call sound.. Should I wait for it to dry out or try whipping it with alcohol or something?
Thanks.

try getting all liquids out of it first,
once thats done type this in phone dialer
*#*# 7378423#*#*
and find the speaker test and see if the speaker volume is fixed, if not you will have to replace your speaker

This phone has two microphones, one on top and o e on the bottom.
I believe that when you make a call, the mic on the bottom is used by default. Both mic are enabled if you select noise cancellation during callas. Try that.
Otherwise, your problem may be more than just a broken mic, its kind of hard to break a microphone internally.

I think while in a call and in the dialer app you can access "noise cancellation" by pressing the capacitive settings button and a menu will pop up.

What you mean? You didn't see the setting or it just didn't work even with the setting enabled?

In Searching about the same problem this seems to be common on this phone for custom Roms... can't seem to find out why.
My phone with CM9 doesn't even have the switch for noise cancelling.
I have noticed that it makes a big difference if you speak into the mic directly - as in speakerphone vs holding it to your ear.
The mic works fine in voice recording. Bluetooth seems to be OK too.
Did not know there was a top mic... I wonder if there is a goof in the original code and the custom roms got the wrong mic...

Low volume

Do any of the volume hack apps work for this phone? Not for headphones but to hear it ring louder.

It is loud ... really loud ...
I have owned 5 other Android phones over the years before this E4GT, and it is easily the loudest of them all. The phone ringer is too loud for me, can hear the thing a mile away.

Guys remember its all in what ringer you choose to use also. Some of the custom ones I use are softer than others.

I agree it is loud. But my evo might of been louder. But either way, its loud.
Wow ... for me its also got soft speakers ... can barely hear anything without headphones
If anything this phone needs reduced sound. It's so loud at maxed setting I can leave it in my basement and hear it on the 2nd floor lol.. The alarm volume is really low though and you'll sleep thru it.. Reminds me of the first epic since it had the same issue with the notification volume being lower then the others...

I use "old phone" ringtone, and it is just way too loud at max volume, ear piercing.
I keep it set to 1/3rd volume, and that is plenty loud to hear nearby.

I use music as a ringer. I think it's the song. Thanks guys

[Q] Stock Headphones

Stupid question, but on the back of the incoming call button, is that a mic hole?
Yep... but I always found that its better to use regular headphones and just stick to using the phones mic

Took me a half a year before I rooted/ even knew what root was

I think I read somewhere about opening the charging port while in a phone call to help with that... Probly not too many other options.
Will this thing is going back... What's the point of a great case if you can't make a phone call on it... Lol
