[Q] Mic issue =(

Hello, i wonder if i am the only one with this issue..
When i started using my one X (quadcore version) all seemed to work fine, then i received and installed 2 new updates from htc and my internal microphone stopped working in calls and with any app i tried.
I havent rooted or installed any custom roms. I tried the hard reset, and still nothing. It seems that the updates have problems with the internal mic, because with headphones works fine.
Any ideas?
Im trying to find how to downgrade my firmware to see if it helps.
Thanks in advance.

I need to clarify the problem, because headphones are for getting sound out of the phone, and mic is for getting sound into the phone, so I'm not sure why you mentioned headphones.
Also, you can't downgrade the software without unlocking.

Check the microphone hole at the bottom of your phone. Might be clogged with something. I had the same issue with my incredible s. Mic had suddenly stopped working. Found out that I had peanut butter stuck in the microphone hole on the cover

HTX One X Mic Not Workling

Hi,
I dropped my HTX One X and cracked the screen so I ordered a new one. I fitted it all working perfectly but I just noticed that my in call microphone doesn't work. No one can hear me talk unless I put speakerphone on then it seems they can.
At first I thought it was the mic blocked or cable damaged but everything looks ok. I did do a reformat of my mobile and updated to the latest version (4.2.2) so I don't know if thats affecting it.
I have checked all the cables are plugged in correctly. I have reformatted the phone many times. I have ran the diagnostics for the audio. They all passed except with the mic. I tried voice recorder etc but nothing. Not even crackling just silence.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem??
Thanks

Cant hear people when they call no sound top speaker

Hi all
Since installing HD revolution when someone calls I can't hear them but they can hear me, camera remote control and everything else working perfectly, if I put the phone on speaker phone I can hear the person from the bottom speaker, also when playing music it only comes out of bottom speaker. I have wiped dalvik etc still nothing and I have reverted to leedroid and insercoin roms still the same. When playing music on insercoin which I'm currently on it says cannot disable boomsound when using internal speakers and the option is blanked out which is strange, which leads me to belive that hopefully it could be software and not hardware.
Any ideas please guys?

My wife is having the same issue. (Running stock ROM)
Have you had any luck with a solution Maverick?
Anyone else out there come across this issue?
Thanks,

Really sorry for late reply, in the end no didn't get it working I think it was hardware related as I tried everything software wise. I decided to sell it on ebay few weeks back got £150 for it.
Sorry couldn't help anymore

No worries.
It has turned out to be a hardware issue with my wife's phone. The speaker at the top of the phone had given up.
It's with HTC now so we'll see what happens...

Just to wrap this up... Phone was away with HTC for around 10 days and has returned with both speakers working again as new.
V happy Mrs.

[Q] Soundabout app issues.

Hello everyone !
My M8 went mad today. It recognizes all headphones/earphones except the stock one that came with the device. The stock one works perfectly fine with all the devices except my M8. That sounds really strange, but it did happen.
I googled some forums and found that soundabout app on the play store could solve this issue by routing the audio to headphone jack. It worked.
I was tinkering with the settings of the app. I routed the audio to the earpiece(top speaker) only.
I'm somewhat skeptical that the top speaker now has less volume compared to the bottom one, when playing music/videos.
Does this mean that I have a partly damaged speaker ?
Also, can tinkering the settings damage the hardware(speakers) in any case ?
Thank you for reading.

I think that the earpiece speaker is actually less powerful than the bottom speaker. I use SoundAbout myself as I have an issue with one of my friends old stereo's. The phone doesn't recognize that I have plugged in the aux cable but it only happens with that stereo. So I have to use the SoundAbout app to change the setting to Wired Headphones.
I'm not sure if tinkering setting can damage the speakers, but I have damaged the bottom speaker myself by flashing one of the first CM12 nightly's that came out. The speaker is quite easy to replace yourself and same goes for the earpiece.

Hello,
I have nexus 5 with stock 5.1.1 not rooted.
I started to use soundabout because my phone didn’t recognize AUX-IN from my car audio.
Everything was ok for long time till yesterday.
Now, after I will use soundabout I can’t hear any call conversation. I need to restart nexus.
I am wonder If someone know some similar program that I can test.

Note 2 GT N7100 Mic Problem

Hey everyone. My note 2 gas given me many troubles, first the chip EMMC failed. I created a thread explaining the situation. Bootloop, recovery failed, etc. So I bought a phone that had a broken screen. I replaced the motherboard and everything was going fine but cellular signal was failing, I gave it back to the owner. (I also created a thread about it).
Now, I bought another phone with the broken screen. So I replaced the motherboard one more time. Everything works ok, cellular signal, wifi, camera (both front and back camera), wifi, speakers, etc. But I have a trouble with the microphone. When I'm on a phone call I can hear people but people can't hear me, unless I use the speaker then they can hear me. I suppose that the mic from the top of the phone is the one that is working when the speaker is turned on.
I've done some reading, and there are many solutions, cleaning the mic, factory reset, installing other ROM,etc. The mic isn't the problem. I tried the mic of my note 2 and the other mic too. The problem is present with both mics. (Both phones are the same variant by the way, GT N7100 international version).
The phone is on 4.1.2 Jellybean, I'm thinking on update to 4.3 first via Odin, if problem is still not solve then upgrade to 4.4 kit Kat via Odin as well. If problem persist, then flash a recovery via Odin and then install a custom ROM 5.1.1 and if the mic problem still not solved then flash a 6.0.1 custom ROM.
I don't know what else I should do concerning this issue. Any advices? Or solutions? Has anyone had this very same issue?
The mic doesn't work at all, I tried video recording and the only mic that works is the top one, not the bottom one. Voice recording doesn't work as well. Headphones does work. If I unplugged the headphones while having a phonecall the bottom mic still isn't working.
Hope you could give any advice or solutions! Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my English skills.

Did you try moving the swapping out the USB fix cable between both phones?
I doubt that it's a software problem because I have not come across a situation where a mic does not work on a particular stock rom.

Yes I did. Problem still there. I also did a factory reset. I'm thinking that at least one of those mics are working OK. I mean, it would be really really bad luck having the 2 microphone malfunctioning. My microphone was working fine before the EMMC chip crashed. After I replaced with other motherboard with no cellular signal it was working fine as well. This motherboard tho everything is working fine but both microphones.

Yes, that is weird. Maybe you need a new mic? That might be the cheapest solution.
