My Wallaby at last went dead. There are no response on the earpiece n mic. I can call out and the other party ringing, but when pickup. I can't talk or listen. This is one of many phones i have used. Though bulky and sometimes hanged (not often), it has provened to be one of the tough and versatile good buddy in the field.
Anyone know wat has actually went wrong? Pls help. Thank you in advacne.

Hi,
I took my O2 atom exec to get the plastic housing replaced.
I took it to a phone repair shop to do, and they did it, but then they said the microphone was faulty and wanted an extra $95 to fix this.
The phone was working perfectly beforehand, and now I am left with a phone where the mic doesnt work properly. I can hear calls ok, but just cant speak back. I found if I use the handsfree/loudspeaker function the mic works.
Does anyone know what the problem could be, and would it be an easy fix?
I shouldn't of brought it to those guys... What can you do though.
Any help would be appreciated. The rest of the phone itself seems to be working fine.
It doesn't make sense.
I can talk fine when its on loudspeaker function but when its off then the caller can't hear me talk.
I can record using the mic.
I wonder if it's a software thing, and whether doing a hard reset might be worth a try? Thoughts guys?
Edit: Ok it doesn't look like software issue as I have just done a hard reset and still the same issue. SO it looks like some kind of hardware issue - Mic/Motherboard.
Noone has heard of this problem before...?
Hello all
Got the S2 recently...was an HD2 user (with android) and am really impressed with the performance of the S2..though I am not too happy with two things.
- Battery...i just got the VillianRom installed..and I hope to see an improvement there..
- Ear speaker jarring...the ear speaker seems to crackle at certain frequencies. I checked the whole forum and there were some others with the same complaint and was asked to use the Volume+ app..which I have and to be honest i dont see much of a diffrence..the crackle is still there. I want to be sure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue...and how can I really solve it?
Can someone help?
ah.. another fellow s2 holder that has this issue.
YES! I have the same problem and its driving me crazy!!!
its random, and its buzzes, crackle or even sounds like the earspeaker is blown!
What have you done with it? I think I'll probably go change it but just checking here if you have found the solution?
there's one person with a vibrant saying he blew hot air into the earspeaker and it solved the problem (dunno if its advisable) and he didnt say how did he do that.
I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. I use Spotify non-stop on my SGS2, no crackling thing.
I'm not talking about the back speaker, its the front one where you listen to when you're in a call.
Hello! I have the same problem! Like it is distorting. I will take it to service centre today.
I really can't remember I posted that, my bad.
ok I got back my phone from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).
And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!
Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.
Thank you for your answer! I have the same problem. They dont belive that is something wrong. They changed the speakerphone and no solution. Now they tell me that must be something wrong with our network, which I dont belive... I was also suspecting that all have the same problem, they just dont recognize.
Thanks a lot!
The phone was bought new in May and unlocked in June because it's in another country. It came with Android preinstalled from T-Mobile.
The Wi Fi doesn't work, but that's a hardware problem and HTC won't fix it under warranty because the phone was unlocked. NOt a big deal, and not the problem I'm writing about.
Last night the battery died. Today, after charging the battery, the speaker and microphone don't work.
Anyone I call cannot hear me. There is no sound at all on the other phone. No static, Nothing! It's like putting your turned off phone to your ear.
And it is the same when they talk. I can't hear anything.
I took the battery out several times and that didn't help
Did a hard reset and that didn't help either. The phone was working fine until the battery died
does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Same problem
I have the same problem. I'm looking for a solution, otherwise I'll need to send it back. Did you ever find a fix? #frustrating

My HTC Amaze is almost doing the exact opposite. When I make or receive calls, I cannot hear people. They can hear me, but unless I put it on speakerphone, I am SOL. It works with bluetooth in my car just fine but it is a little aggravating to have to keep a call on speaker. Anyone else have this problem? I have done a hard reset, I called TMobile...they said they were unable to help. I have the insurance, but only for lost or damaged. As it was explained to me...TMobile cannot help me in regard to phone but...if I drop it in the toilet or run over it...the php insurance will cover it (with the 150 deductible) When I signed up for the insurance it was explained to me that it was like an extended warranty. However when I called tech support, I was informed that it was not... Help please
well i know there are post on the quality of the calls on this phone ( mainly the other party struggling to hear what you say) . i have finally blown my top ! since i first got this phone back in May, this has been an on and off problem. today i made 4 calls this morning 3 of which saying they were struggling or couldn't hear me ! i was so fed up i rang Sony and did a "repair" with PC companion .. made no difference what so ever ! then it was fantastic, i was on the phone to phones 4U, who i bought the phone from, and the lady said "sorry i cant hear you sir" so the phone is going back. to be repaired . im not holding out a lot of hope that this will fix the problem due to the amount of threads where a fair few people are having this problem. seems to be a sub quality microphone on this device
I just had probably my first conversation of any length and not on BT with my gf. She said she couldnt hear me the whole time. I turned off that setting in sound or call menu and that didnt help much. Im disappointed.
Try turning off microphone noise suppression in Call Settings. It helps in a few situations.
I have had the exact opposite problem. I couldn't hear the other party (not on speakerphone) but they could hear me crisp and clear.
I tried that during my call with the gf, she did say it got better but only marginally. Out of my last few Android phones she said this one sounded horrible, specially compared to the M8 I was about to sell. This is probably a deal breaker for me. How do you make a high end phone that has terrible call quality?
I've got the exact same problem with my Z2. The other party cannot hear me when I hold the phone to my ear -- if I turn the call on speaker, everything works fine!
Also, the other party hears a very strong echo of their own voice, but only when the call is not on speaker.
It is absolutely beyond me, how something this simple has gone through the quality checks at Sony. Seriously, a 600€ phone that you can't use to make normal phone calls. Are you serious?
And yes, I also tried turning off noise cancellation in the call settings, did not help really much...
The fact that it DOES work when using the speaker tells me that it is "just" some software bug that should be fixable (and not a defect microphone).
No issues here with call quality, only issues i have is the charger door keeps mysteriously opening in my pocket and that damn screen reacting to metal, same issue, pull it out my pocket and its opened something or removed a shortcut grrrrr

yeah my girlfriend tells me she gets feedback too ! so it DOES seem that this is a regular problem with this phone and its just not my handset ! well the phone is going back .. if its a software issue, then unless Sony update the software it the problem will still be there even if they replace the microphone. i just think that its terrible that expensive so called "flagship" devices can have such basic problems. after all .. its a telephone and your supposed to be able to communicate on a phone !
As I wrote on the other topic I tested with Viber and Skype calls and there is no echo so my opinion is this is a software problem. Unfortunately I have no guarantee and I have to wait for some dev's to solve this problem.

well if it helps , i did post a thread in the developers section asking if any one of them could come up with a "fix" for the microphone issues.. guess it depends on how many of them suffer with this problem .. or have the time to devote to a fix . not knowing if its a software or hardware issue don't help ! all i know is i use this phone to speak to my clients , and when day after day im being told they cant hear me properly or they get feedback and a few have just given up and hung up. i cant carry on using this phone as it is !
Hi guys,
Whenever i use the speaker, whether its on the phone or using duo, i sound terrible to the other person. i sound very far away and i sound like im underwater are things im being told, they cant understand me but i can understand them perfectly. this doesnt happen when i dont use speaker. i tried calling T-mobile to replace my phone but, not kidding, they hung up on me 3 times, seriously, and when i went to the store they said i needed to go to ubrakifix, which i did and they didnt help me. has anyone else had this issue? were you able to fix it? any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
Most likely its the phone case. I noticed some of the earlier phone cases that came out, it blocks the top microphone port. Which is what it uses when on speaker phone mode.
