Hey i'm new to here....but i will get straight to the problem..
i been having problems with my mic, the one in the top. I thought it was a software issue but it was not because i tried flashing lots of stock roms but still didn't work...my other mike is working fine...but when i turn the speaker on the phone uses the mic in the top, and when video catting also the phone uses the top mic, so i cant do anything so my question is that is there any way to set my second mic to be used for everything...like for video chatting on skype and tango, instead of using the mic on top, can the mic in the bottom be used?? is it possible to set the lower mic to be used for everything?? hope someone will help me thank you!
please somebody help me please
I don't know the answer to your question, but dude, you gotta wait longer than a couple hours before whining.
This is a development forum, not a tech support forum. No one is paid to sit around watching for support request posts. People answer posts of their own free will, on their own time.
EDIT: actually, I'm curious now. You say you're having issue with your top mic. Do you have a case on the phone? If so, does the case have an opening for the top mic? If so, are you sure the mic opening is clear of debris?
i'm sorry.... no its doesn't have any case or anything...and its clear...i even tried to put a small pin into it to see if there is anything stuck inside it, but their was nothing

Exactly what is the problem you are having with the upper mic anyways? You never say.
I don't know of any mods that will re-route all mic functions of the upper mic to the lower one... So if the upper mic is simply not functioning, it sounds like it could be hardware fault.
Your only option may be to send it for repair. Since you say you tried flashing a bunch of ROMs, you'll have to flash back to stock and reset your flash counter if you want any hope of warranty coverage. Otherwise you'll be paying for the repair job.

May or may not work, and will only work until a reboot, at which point he'd have to do it again.
If he has warranty, he should send it in. Otherwise, he could crack the case open and inspect the top mic to see if the rubber housing is seated properly. It might be partially blocking the mic.
thanks for trying to help guyss....i did try that before but it didnt help at all

So send it in for repair (hopefully warranty covered), or try to do phone surgery yourself. Those are really your only options.
I have exactly the same issue. Top mic is not working and even replacement of the board with mic, vibro-motor and mini-jack did't helped. I've realised that the problem is with a condensator or a chip on the main board. I also would like to find the modification wich can change top mic to the lower one. Please, if anyone knows how to do it, let me know.

Hi all!
I have a problem with my mini pro and would be most thankfull, if anyone could help.
Since a while now, my front speaker is not working anymore. I am using my phone with an unlocket bootloader, custom kernel and custom rom. First I thought this might have to do with that, since I first noticed it after trying an ICS beta (CM9). I did go back to SE-kernel and also restored everything with SEUS, but nothing worked. I have used various kernels and roms since, but my front speaker has not been working again.
Today I got a new speaker and changed it myself. Unfortunately, this still did not bring any changes, no sound at all.
Now I am a bit clueless, if this is really a hardware-issue or could be software related after all??
If any of you has any idea on the topic, it would be great.
All the best,
Jonathan

Bro I had the same issue with my phone.. It is the flex which goes from the motherboard to the lcd part (upper half of the slide) which might be damaged probably causing no connection to the front speaker.. U get it replaced by the SE serice center.. Thats the only way.. hope it helps..

Hi there, first of all, dissasemble your cellphone, here you have the service manual, it has everything you could need to make a hardware rapair, including dissasemble and reassemble videos. http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_E10i_Xperia_X10_mini_service_manual
Once you obtained acces to the speaker, test it, you can do it taking a wire with a 3.5 plug on one end, and bare wires on the other end, by plugin it on an mp3 player and making sound going trough the speaker. If your speaker works, you will have to take the schematics from the service manual, follow the circuit and locate the failure. Most common failures are a flex broken or pressure contacts failure but you can have problems like this one, that are more difficult to find and solve http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472440. If your speaker doesn't works, just replace it.
Any problem just say it
Sorry, The service manual for The mini pro is here! http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_U20_Xperia_X10_Mini_Pro_service_manual

Thank you all very much for your replies!
It sounds like you all do believe it must be a mechanical problem. I allready changed the fron speaker by myself, but it is still not working. I will see how the flex looks!
But it is good to know, none of you thinks, it could be something with the custom rom/kernel
same problem for me man!
have you solved the problem after all?
i've tried to check with a tester and it seems that there isn't signal on the two contacts of the speaker...so i think the problem isn't the speaker but it is on some connection!! (maybe the main plan connector that connect the keyboard part with the sceen part)
Hi.
The mic on my phone has stopped working so no one can here me now during a phone call. I've tried a factory reset and re-installing my current rom checkrom v6. Still the problem is there.
It seems to me to be a hardware problem. My niece dropped my phone onto a dinner plate and got tomato sauce on it. Not a lot but some of it got into the speaker and micro usb port. I cleaned it immediately but looks like it's caused some damage.
Can anyone offer me a solution to this problem.
I'm thinking I'll need to replace the mic on the phone. Can anyone link me to a guide on how to do this? I'll probably replace the usb port as I've had issues with that for ages now.
Thanks
If you are not a person who is able to fix phones and such then I'd advise you to simply send the phone back to your carrier and tell them to fix it. (if you've still got your warranty)
Unlucky :/ Maybe next time don't let your niece near the phone within a 5 mile radius?
Have a good day and good luck with the phone :]

I'm on pay as you go and I bought the phone second hand about 7 month ago so sending it back not really an option.
Just to update, when I turn on the speaker function when in call the mic works fine.

I believe the part for the USB port will have the lower mic attached anyways. I think you're looking for part number GH59-10949A. You can find service manuals for various Samsung phones on www.samfirmware.com. But you'll need to register on that site (it's free) to download them. Passwords on the archive files are "samfirmware.com".

That's because the speakerphone function uses the top mic, not the bottom mic.

Only problem I encountered was one of the screw heads was worn away. Had to drill it out but got their in the end.

Glad you got it worked out.
If you're interested, to help with protecting my USB port, I ordered some of these. They come 3 covers per order.
(I am in no way affiliated with this company...)
I decided it was prudent after reading all the horror stories on the forums about USB ports failing/overvoltage warnings/computers not detecting/chargers not registering.
Hi XDAers,
I believe since rooting (it might have occurred some time after) my Samsung Galaxy SII GT9100, I am not able to use my speakerphone as the other party to the call can't hear me. This problem is the same whether I use the regular phone, Skype, Viber or any other communication program. I have no problems with the mic when the phone is not on speakerphone, and I can use any recording application successfully.
I originally rooted my phone, flashed LighteningROM, went back to my service providers ROM (though rooted), and just today switched to CM9. I'm not sure exactly when the problem started occurring, but it was AFTER flashing to LighteningROM and before flashing to CM9. Is there any way to debug the error? Could it be due to flashing a bad radio or the like?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Speakerphone uses the top mic, not the bottom. Is the top mic clear and uncovered that you can see? If so, it may either be a hardware issue with the upper mic, or the rubber housing on the upper mic in the internals of the phone may not be seated properly, and is blocking sound to it.

The top mic seems to be uncovered. I believe I once read that Sound Recorder and applications alike use the top mic as well? If this is the case, why is the mic working in these applications?

Wasn't my intention to "get you" - hope you didn't take it the wrong way! I've just flashed back to stock ROM, but the problem persists. It appears people CAN hear me, however I am so low, they say it's worse than if I whisper with speakerphone off. Looks like it has to go back?

When I said "you got me", it's another way of saying "I don't know". I took no offense.
And yup, if you don't wanna mess with opening up the phone yourself, and you still have warranty, I'd flash back to stock, reset the flash counter, and send it in.

Did you ever get this working with your S2? I'm having the exact same problem. I flashed the stock 4.1.2 Jellybean via Odin and my stats are as follows:
Kernel: 3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v6.0b5+
ROM: I9100XWLSW
ROM Codename: REL
Radio Version: I9100XXMS2
Should I try flashing a different stock ROM? Does each one bring a different radio that may make a difference? Thanks.
Now, I had this phone for about a year and a half and this issue never happned, I tried resetting ALL the data of the phone, nothing.
I tried dialing *#197328640#, but it will not let me access audio. What to do?
Maybe the mic is damaged phisically, has the device been beaten? it was submerged? Maybe it's because the phone is old.
Funny thing is that I actually replaced the mic. But the issue is still there also is there a way the access the Service audio thingie?

i read some posts some were about Jelly bean LS8 chucking this problem out.... Your not running that are you???? cant recall the fix i don't use it so did't really pay too much attention to it.
Some codes have been disabled on newer firmwares (work around for some bug or another i believe) dont have enough knowledge to tell you how to access it any other way. sorry. Maybe the LS8 fix mite help???
Just got my G3. I have it rooted and have Xposed and G3 Tweaksbox. I don't think I froze anything that would have to do with the mic/speakerphone.
When my speaker is on, my mic doesn't work.
Mic works fine otherwise, so it can't be a hardware issue.
Any ideas?
I disabled all xposed modules and unfroze all apps and sane thing.
Can someone confirm they don't have this issue on a Verizon phone?
I really don't want to factory reset already.
Could someone just test this out and let me know if you don't have the issue?
Just make a call, turn on the speaker and see if the party on the other end can hear you talking. With the speaker on, the other party can't hear me, if I turn the speaker off, they can.
Be best if it's someone with a Verizon phone.
If it works for someone else on Verizon, I guess I'll go with the factory reset. The phone has only been out a few days, I guess it's possible it's a bug and I'm just the first person who noticed it, but I doubt it.

Are you positive it's working for you?
I did a factory reset and it's still not working.
I did take off my case and now there's some audio, but it's all a low static. I call a vm I have and start talking with speaker off and it's fine, then I turn speaker on and I get all static and hissing and can't hear myself at all.
I don't see how it could be hardware, but I guess it's possible. Sure seems like a system bug, but if it's working for you, I guess not. You are on 10B?

Definitely working ok for me. I had several speakerphone conversations over the past few days. Maybe try the LG Suite to reinstall completely? If that doesn't work I'd get a warranty replacement on the way. Edit: 10B software
Instead of dialing my vm, I dialed another phone line that I picked up.
As soon as I hit the speaker button, I hear static and can't hear myself talking anymore on the 2nd phone when I'm talking on the cell.
I guess the phone is going back.
Flashed back to factory image and same problem.
I guess it's my hardware.
Had phone replaced today and all is working now. Clearly I had a defective phone.
I guess these phones have 2 mics, one for use with speakerphone and one when not on speaker?

Pretty strange for sure. How did you reflash stock? Where did you find the image/tool for VS985? I don't see it listed on the LG Suite site.

It was very easy and got me back to 100% stock.
Most smart phones have several microphones now for noise cancellation. The normal mic is down at the bottom. When you turn on the speaker it then switches to a different Mic away from the speaker to prevent feedback.
Your phone had a dead Mic.
I just tested mine to see if I had the issue (just in case).
No problem.
