Earpiece stopped working - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hey guys. Something weird has happened. Yesterday my phone was working fine but today, I noticed my earpiece stopped working. Its not working now. The only way I can hear is via loudspeaker. Has anyone come across this issue?
OK the problem is that the phone is detecting headphones plugged in. Tried rebooting, factory reset but still hasn't fixed the problem. Anyone have a solution?

Sound off until reset

Hi all
I have a problem with the sound on my phone...
It happens randomly where i'll try to view a youtube vid and there will be no sound.
I will restart the phone and try to view the same video on youtube and it will work. Same thing happens with the game "Scramble" and even when playing music in Winamp.
Everytime i reboot the phone, the problem will go away until the next time it does it.
It gets very frustrating have to restart my phone as you can imagine.
Can somebody please help???
Thanks in advance
:good:
Every once in a while mine does this although it is related to headphones for me. I just replug in my headphones and take them out and sound is back.

This is a new feature they introduced with ics, for me it is related to bluetooth.

Yeah, the problem has only started after updating to ICS. I haven't used Bluetooth since the update though.

Also for me is the same, randomly.. also with the navigation app. Solved for me: hold the power button, then active no sound, then sound again. Check with the volume buttons if works!

I actually tried that and it didn't work for me. I'm hoping it may be something that is fixed in the next update... If we get one that is
I get that issue sometimes too when i turn off the sound then turn it back on.

This happens on mine too this is the 3rd maxx same issue. Very annoying
672.180.41.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU its the update we took in Greece. I wiped before and after the update, both cache and data.
Many users and me today , experienced the "no sound" bug. Going to settings and using the same or other ringtone brought the sound back. Is this a common bug in ics or it is just our version? I can't pinpoint the trigger of the bug yet.
I'm hoping more for an update for bugs on ics than jb(NOT jailbreak :laugh.

[Q] My Earpiece Stopped Working

Hoping someone will have an answer. Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (US Version) (Rooted) Everything Stock (ROM and Kernel)
All of a sudden, the device earpiece has stopped working, no sound at all, I've tried multiple reboots, wipes without success.
The only way to make calls (Skype, VoIP) is to use a wired headset or a speakerphone.
Please Help Me!
Sorry I'm New on This
I would try a different app to make sure it is really the earpiece and not Skype. Skype used to have this problem for me.

I tried an app called "earpiece" with which I can test the earpiece, but I've got the same result
I'm having so much trouble with this. After I updated my Galaxy Player 5 over Kies long time ago my earpiece stopped working. I tried instaling another kernel and rom's nothing helped. Now I using ParanoidAndroid Rom. I never droped my Galaxy Player, I doubt that is hardware problem. Please if someone has solution, share with us. Thank you.

[Q] Moto Razr XT910 mic not working in calls

Hello,
I have a weird problem, I put CM 10.1.0 RC5 on my Motorola Razr xt910 and the mic stopped working when in calls.
This is most probably not a hardware issue since it works fine during video recording and I am able to hear the sounds just fine then.
But the person on the other end cannot hear me when I make/receive a call.
Also, whenever I try to open voice search or google search mic icon then I get an error "Unfortunately google search has stopped working" and the application does not open up.
I updated the RC5 to 10.1.0 stable and then also put on yesterdays nightly, no luck, everything else works except the mic during calls.
Any pointers to what I should do to get this resolved?
Thanks,
Saket

The mic randomly muting is a known issue in kexec kernel/ROMs.
However generally it works after a reboot.
Check your stock ROM if mic is working there or not.?

It was working for a few days but with reduced volumes.
I also did check by going into Stock and it does not work there too. The error that I get there is also same, the search crashes.
Reboot wont help because I did it many times after reading a couple of forum responses.
Thanks,
Saket.

Then its a hardware fault. As you said it worked with reduced volume, also suggests the same.
Get to the customer support and get it replaced.

Yes, but it works during video/sound recording.
Is the mic used different at these times or is it the same?

Its the secondary mic. It is used for noise cancellation too.

Secondary/Camcorder mic
The primary mic on this machine is soldered on the PCB!!!
Is it possible to use an app or a system tweak/mod to force the use of the secondary/camcorder mic? Have not found anything yet.

Same here!
I've been changing the order in audio_policy.conf but no success... Does anybody know how we can force the phone to avoid using front mic?

[Q] Headphone Bug?

Hi Guys.
I have Sony Xperia z ultra and after the last update i have a strange bug.
when ever i connect my headphones it works fine but when i unplug them the speaker is just mute the loud speaker works fine it is just like i have never unplugged it.
The only way to fix it is to turn the phone off and on again and it works fine until i plug in my headphones.
Have you ever experienced this problem? and if so how did you fix it?
If you haven't do you have any idea what could be wrong?
Sorry for my misspelling and bad English, Thank you
I honestly do not know about thhis problem.For me all it works.
If you do not have a lot of important files or do backup.You can restore the factory settings or the flash latest system into Flashmode.
If the is problem OS this should help.

I tried the mic test and got nothing. Seems like the mic is broken.
This happens to me on both the stock ROM and Greezepop unless I disable noise suppression in call settings. For some reason, noise suppression only works properly sometimes. When it doesn't work properly, turning it off or switching to speaker phone works. No other apps seem to be affected.

I'll give that a try. If worse come to worse do you know of any links that show how to replace the microphone. I've searched high and low on here Google and on YouTube with no luck.
