I dropped my phones while skiing and some snow must have got in because now, when making or receiving calls, I can not hear the other side and they can't hear me unless I use speakerphone.
No media sounds play any more, however the phone notifications and alarm still work. I understand that perhaps the media speaker has broken but why is the microphone still working only in speakerphone mode?
Is there an independent microphone/speaker set for speakerphone?
There is nothing else wrong with the phone.
[EDIT] Another side effect is that the Google voice search was not working.

I think it will actually solve your problem. It did for me when the exact same problems started to bother me today after skiing as well!
You need to start it at every boot as it don't stick between reboots. Consider using a startup manager.
The problem seems to be a mix of hardware and software in the headphone jack, but I have not examined it much yet.
Thanks for the reply. The app you suggest should be very useful and I will download it anyway. However, this to say that the phone had fixed itself this morning.
I put the phone on charge overnight, and this morning, it asked for my sim unlock code, which I thought was very strange! But I entered the code that I had received from my network provider and now everything is working as it should.
It was probably something do with the remaining water inside the phone or possibly the cold temperatures.
Good to know! Maybe my phone fixes itself during the night as well
Still working?
Has the issue remained fixed for you? I ask because I have the same thing - the symptoms are that I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me, all media sounds are off, and the phone can't hear me.
I ran Tasker to monitor things, and the phone keeps thinking I plugged in headphones (with a mic), so that explains all the behavior. Running the headphone toggle app works temporarily - sometimes only a few seconds.
After doing a factory reset, sound would still come and go. With my Nandroid backup back on, same thing. I want to return it, and so I put everything back to stock, and noticed that now the bootloader is locked again, the issue is gone (for now).
I just wanted to keep the discussion going because I can't even tell if it's hardware related or not, and other people probably have this problem, and it takes some snooping to realize it's the headphone connector (vs sound settings, speaker issues, etc.). It could be a short (my guess) but now that it's working today I can't return it as the tech would probably claim nothing's wrong. I also already used up the one return my stupid carrier allows, so I'd rather fix it myself if it's software-related, instead of sending it out for repair.
I still have this problem, even after cleaning the headphone plug. My guess is that this is a hardware problem affecting only a few. It makes the phone pretty much useless, as you can't hear the other part talking, so I made myself a software fix that resets the sound routing the the default speaker on every boot and incoming and outgoing call. I guess I can share the apk-file if anyone is interested.
Give it a try: ----
Can release source if you are interested, but I am currently in a car getting ready for a ski weekend
I am also having this problem with my Galaxy Nexus. I would be interested in seeing the source, if you are still up for releasing it.

See attachment for source, I also added a compiled apk file in the zip-file. You can open the project in Eclipse if you want.
Thanks for posting the source. I was able to work with it fine.
I've replaced my Nexus with a new one under warranty. Hopefully this one won't have the same problem.

Thanks for releasing this! It works great!
I was going out of my mind trying to figure out what was going on. I was unlocked, rooted in stock 4.02 when this started to happen. I thought it was bad signal quality because i only noticed it when I stopped being able to make calls and use voice dialer. I only listen to music with a headset, so never even noticed that it wasn't working with the speaker til I tried to play a youtube video.
I actually upgraded to stock 4.04 with new FA2 radios and thought I had cured it, only to have it happen again. When I read this I tried resetting all my notification sounds (Handcent, et al) hoping somewhere there was a conflict, but still couldn't find it. I'm using NOVA launcher - wonder if there's something in there?
Anyhow, I gave up since your audiojack.apk works great! Someday when I have time I'll go back to troubleshooting to see where the problem is coming from.
Thanks again!
Works temporarily

This worked, but the OS will eventually think the headphone is plugged in again and I have to press the "Force Speaker phone" button again. I wonder if there is an event that is fired every time the OS thinks the headphones were plugged in? If so, that event can be captured and code could look to see if the headphones are turned off by the user and ignore the event.

If you want the same routing fix as audiojack but have it done automatically in a service try this.
There is an issue with a lot of Galaxy Nexus where the OS thinks the headphone is being plugged in and unplugged on its own. Try this free application to resolve it:

Nice! What events do you listen for?
I have another problem. When i'm in a call and i swich to speakers the person i speak can't here me...if i switch back he can here me again. I don't know what is the problem i don't think that are two microfhones one for speakers mode and one for normal mode...Maybe a software problem but i wipe and flash another rom and kernel i tryed 2 or 3 roms and kernel and i have the same issue. Now i'm on AOKP B32 with Franco Kernel 135. Anyone have this problem?

Worked for me on Verizon GN. Verizon already has a replacement on the way... guess I should've done more extensive searching for a fix first!
Spoke too soon. Seems as though the screen doesn't shut off while I am on a call. Guess I'll give the replacement a try after all.
I have recently sold my OnePlus 3 but have a return request with the following message, see at end of this post.
They have an issue with hearing the caller when making phone calls. It's not a speaker issue as it 'works fine for a while'. It works fine on hands-free.
Has anyone had this issue, and can help me? Could it be a BT issue with the hands-free?
I've never had a problem with the phone but haven't ever had a hands-free device connected. An online help guide that I've read says to turn off BT devices as this could be the cause.
Obviously that's not a solution for him as he needs to use hands-free, but are there known issues with some BT devices? Incompatibilities, or anything I could suggest to him to fix the issue?
Here are the details that have been sent to me. Thanks!
'There is a fault with the phone, in that you can only make and receive calls when it s on hands free mode.
if it is not you cannot hear anything the person on the other end can hear you but you cannot hear them. unless you reboot the phone then it works fine for a while before going back into faulty mode again I have done a full factory reset and the fault is still there.
I wish to return this phone for a refund as it is clearly faulty.'

YES I WASNT THE ONLY ONE!!!!!
But I had this issue just about every stock and stock based rom. Even most custom roms. But there is hope I seemed to fix it, for myself at least, by flashing eliminators resurrection remix nougat rom. His rom build is my favorite I've ever flashed on a phone, PERIOD. if your new to custom roms get the open gapps mini package and remember to select arm64 on the far left row, 7.1 in the middle row and mini on the right row.
Great thanks for replying!
What model hands-free device were you using, out of interest? I'm wondering if there is a compatibility issue.
I've had an update from the buyer and I was incorrect...
The issue doesn't involve a BT hands-free. (By hands-free, they were referring to using the phone's loudspeaker.)
----
The issue is that the phone's earpiece simply stops working.
It works for a bit after a reboot, but then stops working again.
I think it may be a hardware issue, given that they have tried resetting the phone, and so have given them a refund :'-(
I'm still hopeful that it will work ok for me. Fingers are crossed..

There are a couple of threads on XDA relating to low call volume. See if they help you.
One of the fixes is to clean the earpiece and the other is to flash a zip file.
Since yesterday evening I did encounter the following problem.
Plugging my earphones wouldn't send any audio to them, speakers always active.
Microphone nevers works, not in calls, not in apps, not while recording a video.
I did perform a factory reset and installed paranoid android, still the same problem. I am restoring OxygenOS last version right now...
It's been a very frequent problem since the beginning of october, did anyone encounter this issue recently?
This sounds like a hardware issue to me. Were there any potentially problematic events (drops, moisture ...) in past 2 months?

Not really, no, I did also notice that I can't save videos at all.
EDIT: after a HARDRESET (using MSM downloader) to Marshmallow, updating with OTA, everything works again... WTF?
EDIT2: I have been able to record a whatsapp audio, working fine. Did try to make a phone call, doesn't work anymore
this has been occurring to me also when using iphone earphones. but using other earphones works well. try using different brand

Not earphones issue... I had to simply clean the connector, the female jack on the phone, there was some cotton on the end!
Edit: the mic and the earphones works for few minutes, but after a while they completely stop, only a phone reboot solves the problem (just temporarily!)
I did install the Android Mic Fix Magisk module... My phone seems to be working correctly since few hours now.
Update: not even Android Mic Fix solves this... the only temporary solution I have is to Reboot the device
frankdd89, have you found the solution? RN i have the same problem, I have flashed my and everything was solved but, like 3 days after again just stooped working well. I have a doubt whether is a hardware issue due to the mic works well during several days, let me know what did you at the end..
I have the same problem! I'm going Mad!

ive been having the same issue with my oneplus 3 for last 8 months. I have tried resetting, restoring, turning off google voice and have replaced the mic/charge port twice but nothing seems to solve the problem. Would really like to find a solution to this problem as i tend to think it's software related because i started having the problem after an update. At first was sporadic but mic is completely out now.
Hi all, i have the same problem with microphoned earphone
I have tried many type of earphone but the problem is the same (at the first connection and use, the microphone doesn't work , at the second try (record voice or call) without disconnection of earphone the phone change the icon in the status bar, from the icon of earphone with microphone to the icon of earphone without microphone and start to use the integrated microphone in the phone) i attach image of the status bar icon
- I have tried the same earphone into another OnePlus 3 of my friend and he doesn't have the issue
- The internal microphone work good
- I'm using a CTIA earphone (in this case i use Samsung original earphone with microfone founded into an original Samsung device box)
- I have tried to factory reset the phone, clean from dust the earphone hole but nothing as changed
now i think to send phone in warranty assistance to OnePlus ...

Similar problems
I have similar problems. It started six weeks ago with the headphones that could not be detected. Then calling stopped working. Back then I rooted my phone and all the problems where gone. Until last Sunday my phone app crashed. Now all the problems are back again. I tried wiping all my data (also internal storage) and installing a custom ROM. This did not help. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really like the phone and it is still in mint condition.
Thanks in advance
I'm posting this thread as I need your help to figure out if all OnePlus 5T devices are affected by the issue:
When listening to music I started to hear some audio crackling and sounds especially when the screen was off. I started to investigate and tried different ROMs, firmware etc. but they all had the same issue. I even sent an RMA request and my device was "repaired" while still no being fixed. Then I started testing it on another OnePlus 5T and the issue was there too. So I'm starting to wonder if this is a bigger issue.
Short Issue Description:
Whenever the fingerprint sensor is active, the audio wave skips a few milliseconds which you can hear as a clicking noise.
Testing:
0) Make sure to have your fingerprint enabled in settings and do the following:
1) Best to use a sine wave generator (these fancy beep sounds) like on: http://onlinetonegenerator.com/
2) Start playing it via loudspeaker or wired(!) headphones and listen to it.
3) Lock your screen while keep playing it and unlock it with your fingerprint.
4) Start pressing the fingerprint sensor multiple times for at least 20 to 30 seconds. Do it quick and softly or hold it on the sensor for a second and start pressing it again.
>> Do you hear any distortion or unusual sounds despite the on-going beep?
I made a quick video of this issue showing that the audio output stops for a few milliseconds which leads to this issue. It is not just when unlocking the phone but sometimes when it's locked too. Pressing the fingerprint scanner just makes it easily reproducible.
(quality is bad I know, I just needed to film this quite quickly)
Do you consider this as something that's bothering? I'm in the office right now and can't test it.

I'm just interested if more devices are affected. Please note that you have to use wired headphones as Bluetooth headphones aren't affected.
Yes!
I am able to reproduce the same. I had always heard the breaks, but have always thought it was something with the audio or network quality, but this!
I also found (a long time ago) that the cpu briefly boosts to 2.4GHz when tapping the fingerprint sensor. I don't know if it's related to OP's problem, just something I noticed; it may very well be because of 1+'s stock kernel.
Also on the YT app, when tapping or swiping on the fingerpring sensor soemthing similar to what OP said happend, but it's the video that freezes and not the audio.

-The story -
So I bought my mi mix 2 off swappa used and it was pretty much mint condition. When I received it it was on latest miui 11 global locked bootloader no root.. All worked fine for about three weeks. I ended up buying windows 10, again, which made me throw up a lil in my mouth. I did this so that I could use the mi unlock tool to unlock my bootloader. The java Linux tool no longer works to unlock if you use Linux so rn kinda forced to buy Windows. So I unlocked bootloader and then installed twrp and made a backup like I do with every phone since Android began. I then flashed HAVOC 3.1 using latest twrp recovery. I quickly realized my speaker decided to stop working in the earpiece soon after that. I ran some tests using apps and the earpiece speaker works, but NOT in a call. :crying:
-The problem I'm having in detail-
When I make a call to anyone they can hear me but I can hear NOTHING at all. Not low volume, but no sound whatsoever. If I switch to speaker phone however I can hear them and they can hear me fine. The top speaker that doesn't work during calls works when I tested it but refuses to work while on any call.
So naturally I Google searched the world for a few days hoping to find a fix. Then I thought maybe it was my recovery, maybe it was firmware I used, maybe it's a rom bug...etc...etc... I never proved it to be any of the things I thought it could be. I've installed other roms and I get the same thing with them. I've tried other firmware and same deal. I've disabled encryption, used magisk and not used magisk... Anyway, you get the picture.
Would anyone happen to know something I can do to fix this? I read some people touch up where top speaker is during a call ..That didn't work. ? I did 29 reboots and that did nothing. I checked the ear piece and cleaned what I could and that did nothing. I've wiped several different ways and used orange fox recovery and twrp different versions of both and that did nothing.
Please someone who's smart chime in and tell me I'm dumb and all I have to do is xyz and I can hear again from the earpiece on calls. Can it be a defective speaker? If so why does the speaker work fine on anything but NOT when making a call? Can it still be a defective speaker?
I did read TONS of reports of sound issues on Xiaomi devices across the board. That didn't make me smile much.. Anyway any advice or thoughts or anything would sure be extremely helpful and I'd forever be grateful. I hope you all have a good day and your speaker never acts stupid like mine is on my phone.

Try the latest version of Havoc 3.0, not 3.1. my device also has an unspeakable error on the call of messenger with most of the android 10 rom, i can hear the voice of the other side, but they can't hear me, after trying a lot of android 10 rom, i found only havoc os 3.0 is not making that error. Though it's not your fault, I think you should try it.

Mine is I can't hear them but they can bear me. What the hell is going on. Hahaha! If all else fails I'm going to get a new top receiver speaker put in at a shop close by. It does appear that many Xiaomi devices have had sound issues and have had speakers replaced. If you search on YouTube Xiaomi no sound on call or speaker replacement you'll see MANY videos on "how to." Quite a few videos specifically for mi mix 2. They should let us upgrade at least to the mix 2s for free.
I'll try 3.0 havoc but I've flashed around on Android 10 and 9 and problem hasn't gone away. Still zero sound on my end on calls but all speakers work doing anything else. Appreciate the recommendation. Thanks for commenting. Later today's ill flash 3.0 and see what's up. Then I may pull a few kernels from other roms and switch em out with whatever I'm on and see if I can't get something going that way.
I will also post a log of me on the phone talking and maybe someone can see something that's wrong... Hope so anyway..

Please someone who's smart chime in and tell me I'm dumb and all I have to do is xyz and I can hear again from the earpiece on calls. Can it be a defective speaker? If so why does the speaker work fine on anything but NOT when making a call? Can it still be a defective speaker?
I did read TONS of reports of sound issues on Xiaomi devices across the board. That didn't make me smile much.. Anyway any advice or thoughts or anything would sure be extremely helpful and I'd forever be grateful. I hope you all have a good day and your speaker never acts stupid like mine is on my phone.

I never thought that my sound issue was related to havoc in any way I am almost positive its a broken speaker. Looks as though that type of thing happens often on this device and other xiaomi devices. Google search receiver speaker replacement really fast and watch how many things show up about it. Its all over. I'm going to get a replacement. Using my moto g7 power rn as my main phone so I can have conversations and hear on my end. I always clean flash everything I flash. I never fail to wipe data, system, cache, delik cache on any install.
I have the same problem after installing Havoc 3.1. I tried updating the firmware...and rolling back the firmware to 9.5.16 to no avail

-The story -
So I bought my mi mix 2 off swappa used and it was pretty much mint condition. When I received it it was on latest miui 11 global locked bootloader no root.. All worked fine for about three weeks. I ended up buying windows 10, again, which made me throw up a lil in my mouth. I did this so that I could use the mi unlock tool to unlock my bootloader. The java Linux tool no longer works to unlock if you use Linux so rn kinda forced to buy Windows. So I unlocked bootloader and then installed twrp and made a backup like I do with every phone since Android began. I then flashed HAVOC 3.1 using latest twrp recovery. I quickly realized my speaker decided to stop working in the earpiece soon after that. I ran some tests using apps and the earpiece speaker works, but NOT in a call. :crying:
-The problem I'm having in detail-
When I make a call to anyone they can hear me but I can hear NOTHING at all. Not low volume, but no sound whatsoever. If I switch to speaker phone however I can hear them and they can hear me fine. The top speaker that doesn't work during calls works when I tested it but refuses to work while on any call.
So naturally I Google searched the world for a few days hoping to find a fix. Then I thought maybe it was my recovery, maybe it was firmware I used, maybe it's a rom bug...etc...etc... I never proved it to be any of the things I thought it could be. I've installed other roms and I get the same thing with them. I've tried other firmware and same deal. I've disabled encryption, used magisk and not used magisk... Anyway, you get the picture.
Would anyone happen to know something I can do to fix this? I read some people touch up where top speaker is during a call ..That didn't work. I did 29 reboots and that did nothing. I checked the ear piece and cleaned what I could and that did nothing. I've wiped several different ways and used orange fox recovery and twrp different versions of both and that did nothing.

This is just too strange. So maybe my issue does have something to do with installing Havoc 3.1. That was the first rom I flashed after I unlocked my bootloader and speaker worked fine on latest MIUI Global rom before... I wonder if it's possible to break a speaker due to a rom installation? I've never heard of that before. I thought surely it was just the rom and was a bug or a firmware problem. I flashed all kinda firmwares afterwards in latest twrp and also sideloaded a few to see if maybe something wasn't right with recovery and like you say it did not change anything at all. I still get zero sound on my receiver speaker while on a call.
I'm going to try a few more things and see if it does anything. If I find a fix or something that allows me to hear anything at all out of my end on receiver speaker I'll most definitely add it here in a post and to the op. Seems like there would be more people than us if it had something to do with Havoc... Idk. Appreciate your information. I hope we can get this fixed soon. I never even hardly used my phone when the speaker worked. ? I bought it used off swappa and about two weeks later unlocked and flashed Havoc and no sound during calls on my end.
Did you flash magisk also? Maybe that caused the problem...
I'm using Google phone but have also tried the stock Android phone as well as a couple of different versions of firmware. If no solution emerges I'm going to disassemble the phone and see if the earpiece has lost connection

I used an app off Google play store to test speakers and my receiver speaker works but refuses to work during a call on my end. It did have sound come through loud and clear when I ran the tests I did when it first happened. I've flashed using magisk stable, canary, formatted data, used different firmwares, everything know to mankind and searched around and tried several things online and nothing. I've been trying to boot the Android 10 GSIs to see if that makes any difference but have had no luck using the same vendor and boot everyone used on pie GSIs so I snatched some from different roms and still no luck on GSIs that are Android 10. Lemme find link to test all i used and I'll return and post a link. Brb

You should add your findings to the havoc thread...if there are 2 people with the exact same problem maybe the developers will take notice and investigate

I doubt it and I did make a post there a while back about it. There are many others there ok that thread who reported sound issues and I wanted to confirm what for sure caused it before I put the blame all on a rom... The speakers on this device have had issues MANY times based on all the reports i read all over the internet. But if I can confirm exactly what it is I'll dang sure be very open about it online and let the world know in hopes that if it was something I did maybe someone else won't and I can somehow prevent it. But I did make a post there when it occurred. Search my username on the thread and you'll see it.
When you set a ringtone does sound come from your top speaker? On my device it does. Just curious. See if you can hear any sound selecting different ringtones. ?

I did find some info about pixel users who had this problem, in that case the problem was caused by file association issues with the phone app and Google play services. Some people were able to fix by removing the permissions of Google play services. I tried this approach but many of the permissions cannot be disabled

I'm going to clean flash now after I do a backup and I'll install havoc and NanoDroid which eliminates Googles hold on all our devices. Once I get all setup I'll run some tests and see if maybe this solves it.
NanoDroid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3584928
[MODULE/SYSTEM] NanoDroid 22.5.1.20200102 (microG, pseudo-debloat, F-Droid + apps)
No difference

On my other device , Moto G7 Power see the 8th post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/development/rom-havoc-os-3-2-t4058987
This time I haven't had it occur on G7 Power but when I saw that guys post I had a flash back. :/
I suspect FW issue. Started not using top speaker after SW update. 10.0.6 When I receive a call and press the volume button, the 'earpiece' icon bar appear. I suspect the phone switch the sound to the 'earpiece' even if there is no earpiece. I even switched Bluetooth off, and still happens. The phone thinks there is a earpiece/headset connected even if there is none. I think Xiaomi Mi devs should post a solution or update. The issue is wide spread.
[edit 17Jul20]
OK, it happened again today. No sound from top speaker when making or receiving calls. Had to switch to speaker phone. Then I cleared the 'Contact and dialer' app cache memory. (And for good measure the other caller and dailer apps also. TOP SPEAKER CAME ALIVE AGAIN!! So I am pretty sure its a bug/memory issue.
What I did: Long press the dailer icon - tap on App info - press 'Clear data' icon and select to clear chache memory.

What's crazy is this happened on my device just after I wiped data, system cache and flashed HAVOC which was the first rom that I flashed when I got this device. And I flashed my firmware and it did nothing at all. I'm getting a another speaker from eBay this week. They're only like $3 US. Gonna replace it and see what happens. ?
