A weird thing happened to me:
After installing CM11,no one can here me over the internal mic,and I can only be heard when I use the speaker.
Sometimes,I can be heard very low,sometimes regularly,and sometimes not at all.
All other mics and speakers work just fine,as I can hear everything,from music to videos,but face the exact same problem when recording audio(when on heavy metal vocal lessons ),and when trying to send a voice message over What's App.
Have tried flashing older Jelly Bean roms,using Odin,and have temporarily been able to solve the problem,only finding out the problem persists after a random number of days,differs from rom to rom.
Have been to 3 labs here in Israel,and every time the claim is that the phone is fine,or that it's not a mic problem,but an audio chip one,which is pretty expensive to solve.(not that I mind spending on it,as buying a new decent phone here is double to three times the repair)
The thing is,every time I flash a new rom,a new modem,add a DSP manager,the phone is just fine,at least for a couple of hours,to a few days.
Been thinking it's a software,rather than a hardware issue,so am here to consult with you.
Should I:
1.Flash a stock rom again,but try one that's been altered for the Israeli user?
2.Flash CM12 Beta,in hopes a lollipop would keep fix it....
BTW:
Is flashing with Odin like wiping the system and data partitions?
I've been using numerous roms over the years,from ICS to Kitkat.
Never ever have I faced such a weird problem......
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Yohai.
I'm also having the same issue....
Some others also have the same issue...See the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/confused-t2777776
I did forum search...Many seems to have this issue...And the problem is still un solved
I also checked if its hardware...But the phone repair guy is saying everything is fine with the mic...
Someone needs to seriously check this problem...
Currently on NEAT ROM v6.4 (4.1.2)...Few hours of usage, the mic is still working...

I don't know a stock rom that has been modified by an israeli user. You should try flashing neatrom lite first by Sale. CM12 beta won't improve anything (although it might). Most problems regarding to phone calls are to do with flashing 4.4.4 roms, most of them are caused by not flashing roms properly. Reverting to older version of android will (most of the time) solve your problem.

Did the issue happen with stock samsung rom? If no, you might have to use that.
SOLUTION!!!
Today,I went to a lab,which came out to be not the cheapest,but the most professional:
Seams out,the problem was with the mic itself,and the best solution was to replace the entire charging flat.(the mic is just a part of it,and in order to avoid future problems,it is best advised to replace the flat itself,not just the soldered mic)
After going to eat and returning an hour later-problem solved!
This just shows you,how some "professional" labs are hiring retarded technicians.
All you have to do is listen,and think SIMPLE!!!
Cheers and thanks for answering!!

One query
Charging flat means - the board containing the mic, charging socket etc..?
And what's the price for that?

Flat=Board,yeah.
Here,we call it a "flat",I guess 'cause it's a flat board.....
The price?150 NIS,others charge about 90-129 NIS.
How much is it in $?
150 NIS= about 42$
I'm beginning a course,next week,which will qualify me as a Mobile Technician.
Sadly,I couldn't replace the flat myself,as I have no knowledge on how to do it,but if I knew,the board itself would have cost me about 30 NIS+VAT.
See the big difference?
Knowledge=Money,my friend.
Peace!

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

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 there,
I bought the galaxy s2 2 weeks back..and the problem that I am facing is whenever i use headphones for the music, after like 10 secs my phone hangs for some reason! I even return the set to samsung service centre they change the entire motherboard and everything but the problem is still there!!
Please Advise!
Thanks

I have the same problem too...i have to remove the battery and set it up again for rebooting....
I have no idea how to fix that but i think it's a ROM bug and updating to ICS will solve the problem

try any third party applications and check problem remains or not...
eg : trail versions of Power Amp or Player Pro
What ROM are you using? Stock or a modded one and GB (gingerbread) or ICS (ice-cream sandwich). Because modded versions have different fixes for them to get things to run stable.
PS
What strikes me strange about your post is you said you brought this to a Samsung service center and they replaced your motherboard.
This implies it's not a ROM/software problem.
Did you buy a used phone? Also I don't know any official Samsung Centers that will replace the mobo for you. They usually replace the phone for some hardware problems like that (but it's possible I guess).
**Because if the service center replaced it, and you still have that problem, then they either didn't do a good job (because they should have tested it to work), or you have some bad ROM flash.

Yes they do well posted on XDA .

Thats probably true as well .
OP suggest wipe phone and flash stock GB rom to test .
Of course it could be your music is the problem .

I had the exactly same problem plus bunch of others which led to service trip.
Phone went to local service center and came back repaired, only to work for two days.
They changed the earphone jack and speaker modules on the first run.
Second time it had to be sended to service it had problems witn wifi and bt.
They changed mobo.
Third time proximity and lightsensors didn't work so they replaced the phone.
Last time my phone hung, the problem was my modded earphones.
I ripped the original samsung earbuds and replaced them with KOSS portapro's.
I had miss-soldered positive and negative on other earpiece... I changed the polarity, and now everything works.
Mysterious...
Thanks for the info JJEgan on the mobo replacements. I guess it's a region/location thing. I traverse mostly from Taiwan and Japan, and they just replace units with any hardware problems after they check it.
Back to the OP:
The music plays fine when earphones not plugged in right? I asked a friend who works at a service center here and he says it can be either the earphone jack is faulty or not connected properly (inside case), or maybe you didn't insert your earphones all the way (lol that's a stretch but never know).

Hello,
I have a major problem with my lower microphone (on the USB flex board), the microphone does not register much sound at all (very faint sounds are possible if you scream as loud as possible into the microphone directly).
I have replaced the USB flex board (properly, everything is connected correctly and the USB port works perfectly), but the microphone is exactly the same...
Anyone have any ideas? It seems a couple of people have similar issues, has anyone found a fix yet?
Also, does anyone perhaps have any ideas about how to force the top microphone (speaker phone mic) to engage as the active microphone during regular voice calls? I am 100% sick of using speaker phone for every voice call, especially considering I need to make private/confidential calls for work :\
and yes, I have removed the rubber housing as well and tested it without it, it makes zero difference.
Youve tried to repair it on rhe cheap and failed.Maybe take it to a repair shop and get it done properly.
And from your other thread,the spare one I have here has part no gt-i9100 rev2.2(so maybe the one you bought is still faulty )

So you've followed me to my thread because I made a post you didn't like in another thread, and offered complete shinfo.
Please, do not post again.
I am a fourth year EE student, I know how to replace a minor circuit board correctly.
Anyone who has any real advice, specifically about whether or not this may be some form of software issue, and with regards to my question about using the other microphone in voice calls, please let me know.
My mistake-I thought I was replying to a poster named Bodurr as he made a couple of threads about mic problems aswell.
He replaced the board and its still not working.
And I see what you mean about the other thread-I can assure you I never twigged it was you.
Anyway,if you require help,its advised to state what rom etc your running.That way someone could say "if your rooted make a nandroid backup then flash stock rom and see if problem persist".

I'm using rootbox ICS rom version 1.7, android 4.0.4 with siyah kernel v3.4.
Have made a nandroid backup and reflashed to stock a couple of times (including stock kernel and then CF root kernel) and nothing makes any difference.
The issue started whilst on gingerbread and has now carried on to ICS...
I'm seriously completely stumped and have no idea what is causing it :\
I've had a quick look and its advised to test using voice recorder to eliminate a hardware issue.
Other thing mentioned was to change audio values(but maybe need to be on GB to access and change values in the *#197328640# menu.
I don't know if you've done this already.

Just tested again with voice recorder (first time I have done this since swapping the USB flex board) and it's exactly the same issue.
There is SOME sound, but you need to have the volume on full with your ear right against the speaker to hear it, and it's still very faint like that.
What a bizarre issue, it seems no-one knows how to fix it either :\

Yeah, got the solution. It's actually the board/flex cable itself. Took me three boards to find that out. There is a lot of b-ware boards on eBay that were actually thrown out by Samsung because they did not pass QC. Just get a genuine spare part and your mic will be fine.

Hmm some people are saying 2.3 won't be compatible. Was your phone originally 2.2 or 2.3? Also how do I tell if it is genuine? If it says oem?
Why wouldn't it be compatible. A higher revision number usually suggests that something has been improved. BTW I initially had a 2.2 sub circuit board, now it's 2.3.
Well the new board should look like the old one. I think I took a picture the day I switched my board out. I'll try too find it later.

Unfortunatly i was out of the country when it happened so i was never able to claim warranty on the phone or anything so i've had to live with it.
I have tried everything i can think of to try and fix it. Different ROMS, diferent kernals, different modems. nothing has fixed it.
One thing to note, is that when i have headphones in, the mic is fine. Would the be some trickery i could pull to make the phone always use the loudspeaker microphone, even when in handset mode.
current rom is paranoid android 1.99 w/ dorimanx kernal.
i think that lower mic is used when speaker is off , but in speaker phone it uses the the upper mic.

Your own case looks like a definite hardware issue. Too bad you are out of country but if you can still visit any Samsung service center, you might be lucky. Those guys are always very nice and helpful to customers in my country even if you are out of warranty.

Since its your woman's phone and you can't probably flash a new ROM at this moment, fine.
I'll say, let's assume it's as hardware issue.
I'll advise flash back your stock original or officially update firmware, And just send it to service center for repairs like normal warranty claim.
Good luck

ok guys still need some help with this
things ive now tried
flashed back to stock
taken phone apart and made sure the mic is plugged properly
got a new mic and swapped the over
still no joy
when in a call if i blow at the mic the other person can hear it but cant hear my voice at all
also tried this http://www.ctrlplusz.com/2011/06/fix-for-low-microphone-volume-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/
but it says that the menu is blocked
but even if that was the problem surely you would be able to hear my voice a little bit
hi
quick update
IVE TRIED EVERYTHING! ha ha
when i blow into the mic at the bottom really softly the mic still pics it up nice and loud. its like the phone can only pic up the high pitched frequencies
Okay guys, this entire month I have been considering getting rid of my G2. Will try to keep the story short.
About 4 months ago, I sent my G2 (D802) to repair center. Issue was: at times, people could not hear me during calls. They ended up giving me a completely new G2 few months ago. This week alone, I have experienced at least 5 times where people could not hear me. Only workaround when this happens is to turn on speakers (however, everyone next to you will hear the conversation which it is not exactly great).
Getting sick of it. Calls. I repeat, CALLS I can not even make properly with this phone. Everytime I pick up the phone/call someone, I have to wonder if they will be able to hear me.
Currently I am on completely stock unrooted 20H KitKat, I have tried lollipop firmware but the issue remains. Happened on KitKat 20D too. There's a chance the issue is not on Jelly Bean but I have not tested that because I don't really want to be on JB.
I assume I am not the only one on this boat seeing as the issue is reported by a lot. Share thoughts, possible solutions, etc.
@eepyikes @vPro97 join the discussion.
What kind of cover do you use?
_____________________________________Read more write less and be smart
Are you covering your mic with your finger maybe?It happens easily on g2.
No cover is being used. Pretty darn sure I am not holding anything over the mic. But I'll pay more attention to that from now on.
Look at how many people have reported this issue...

Nah. Changed provider about two months ago. Same same.
I have an issue when people are not able to hear me, and it always happens if i want my hands to be free and phone is held between my ears and shoulders(Maybe some issue with noise cancelling or misaligned microphone). Otherwise it just works fine.
This may help you....
If you have turn on "Ok Google "detection from any screen!
I have faced similar problems...I thought that was hardware issue but When I turn off that feature My G2 was back on form and now they can hear me properly
Or another way to get rid away of this **** is to try custom rom also......
i have that problem with ANY stock or stock-based rom..... which is why i got fed up and installed CM12 permanently...... the "ok google" detection thing didn't work for me.... i tried taping the top mic but then i ran into random issues where the mic fails if loudspeaker is on.... no such problems with CM...

I asked in one thread if CM/AOSP ROMs had the same issue. Never got the answer until now. Thank you. This is probably the only solution.
Personally, I usually prefer stock based ROMs but that is about to change.
Note: disabling "ok Google" to fix it is only a myth. It does not help. Tried that and so did many others.

and to be honest because of this i hope CM doesn't get the 2nd mic working. lol
It's the Google now detection, open Google now, goto settings and turn off From any screen
Maybe there is some dust or some other stuff in the small holes where the mic is which is making your voice more quiet or almost completely mutes the sound you are trying to record.
You should try and DISABLE Voice enhancement at Settings>Networks>Call..
it helped my whatsapp voice messages to be played clearly
Have had 5 G2s for different reasons and never ran into a Mic problem.
Have even used various Roms from stock JB to KK to Optimus G3.
Am on Tmobile and used nothing but D801s.
All have been white.
Not sure if that helps
There's hope for you if you're able to sell and replace your phone with another used G2 in mint condition
My experience is, once you've done a repair and things look botched, change the phone.

Have you tried increasing the volume of the mic by editing the mixer_paths.xml.

I had the same problem after i've bought my G2 last year. Even asked in offical german LG forum but got no answer.
Solution for me was flashing custom kernel (dorimanx). Since that time i've alway been on custom rom (stock and aosp) and never had that problem again.
Wich rev do you have?
