[Q] Turn off noise cancellation on Zenfone 5 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My cell phone like a lot of others zenfone has got problem into the n/c mic, so I'm guessing how to disable it ? (rooted phone, stock KK)
Sure, the best solution would be bring it to service center to replace the mic with problem, but I'm from brazil, for those who don't know this is a piece of sh*t who everything is painful and with exorbitant prices!.

[Q] Does anyone else has this problem with their Vibrant?

I had a Vibrant 3g and loved it. I recently decided to purchase a Vibrant 4g off the Internet with no warranty. I rooted it and used it for about a week and then I realized when I call someone, the other person can't hear me. Yes I don't use much minutes and more of a texting guy and it took me a week to realize that lol.
- When I use Bluetooth headset, I can make calls fine.
-When I try to make calls with phone of wired headset, the other person can't hear me.
I even tried to record my sound using build in mic and it didn't record anything. I came to the conclusion that the mic doesn't work. Its a brand new phone. What should I do?
Should I call T-Mobile? (I didn't buy the phone from tmobile)
Should I call Samsung for their manufacture warranty?
or is there any way for me to fix it myself?
I would say you would be best off first trying to call T-Mobile or bringing it to the store to see what they can do for you. Otherwise since its new Samsung should hopefully be able to help you. Good luck.

[Q] X10 Mini Pro rear speaker replacement...is it possible?

Hi there. The rear speaker of my X10 Mini Pro has stopped worked all of a sudden. I took it to the service center today, and they told me they'd have to replace the phone's motherboard (ie, they couldn't replace only the speaker).
Is that correct? Isn't it possible to replace just the rear speaker?
Thanks in advance!
Good news. The authorized service center I went to yesterday was lying. I went to an (unauthorized) service center today, and had the speaker replaced for one tenth of what they asked me in the first place.
I think this information could be of interest to Brazlian users (mostly the ones living in São Paulo). I won't advertise the place that fixed my phone, but if you're interested PM me, I'll gladly help you.

Poor quality when calling

Hi. I've a redmi note 3 pro 32g version. I've a big issue when i call or someone call me. The network bar is full, with 5 or 6 bars, but the sound quality is worst. It's like when you have a poor network. I've dificulties to hear and understand the person wich i'm talking with.
Any suggestions ???
Nb: when the network is on 4g it's ok. But when the network pass to 3g the probleme appear.
No suggestions ?
Did you check if the phone you received is legitimate at mi(dot).com/verify?
Sometimes problems like that are hardware problems, usually due to not having the real phone.
All depends if you bought them from the official mi site or from reseller, since some resellers out there
advertise and in the end you find yourself having the knock-off version of the device.
If it is in fact legitimate, try putting your Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro on Lite Mode and try making call to see if the sound quality is still bad. If so, then it definitely is a hardware problem, may need require repairs on audio part of the phone. Good luck.

Oukitel K10000 PRO - Reinstall Official Rom Problem

Hello,
I have a problem with the band/network of the k10000 PRO.
So I want to reinstall the ROM (official of Oukitel).
I have installed the driver MTK for windows, FlashTool v5.1724 (I have tried with older version too).
I have downloaded the Oukitel K10000 PRO official ROM.
When I click on upload I have an error STATUS_SEC_DL_FORBIDDEN (0xC0020003) with DA_PL.bin
and STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003) with MTK AllInOne
I have test with VOL+ pushed but nothing.
Any Idea ?
I am on Windows 7 64 bits.
Thanks
It's good now.
Just NOT check preloder and upload normaly.
But always, I have my network problem (band problem). The phone work only on the 1800 Mhz frequency. Very few time I have network. Only in big city...
I have a crash of com.android.phone when I try to change the band for the MTK processor.
When I type * # * # 4636 # * # * it's work. I can change network but modifications disapear when I come back in the Menu .
If I clic on Phone Information (normal menu to select EURO band) it crash (com.Android.com).
In the youtube videos, this is the menu where they correct the problem.
I think the best way to resolve the problem and know if it's material (physical) or software it's to try the Rom Stock of nougat. But I want to keep the Oukitel ROM.
I know there is one user have exactly the same problem (com.android.phone crash at the the menu).
I have try to disable the automatic time but nothing.
Very disapointed of this new phone.

I hope they will sent an update quickly....
I received my Oukitel K10000 Pro yesterday and noticed quite soon that the cellular reception is quite bad. It doesn't want to work inside the house at all. Never had reception issues with my previous (actually still current...) LG Nexus 4. I can make phone calls from the balcony but that's about it. Marginally better reception there?
Also the phone makes weird chirping sound during phone calls ~0.5s in the 2-3kHz range, one chirp every 2 minutes?
During the phone call I noticed that If I moved inside where the reception was bad, I could still hear the other person speaking but I was muted. Not familiar enough with GSM technology to say if that's even possible/reasonable
Made comparison of the received signal strength value and both phones show up at
-87...-97dBm asu ~10
UPDATE:
- I haven't touched the Android image at all so its the stock one.
Hello,
Very strange (for the problem of listen someone else). I think it is just a temporally problem. I had this problem occasionnaly but not since some years....
It is very difficult to find someone who have an k10000 pro who works correctly...
Regards.
hello..i have the same problem in greece too......the phone is really amazing......the only thing is the signal reception....when i am in the city is full....when i go outside is nothing....bands are missing from the software or the antena of the phone is problematic ? i see that this is a problem to many of us in europe....people from france,slovenia,albania,slovakia,finland all have the same problem......oukitel should make an update to the firmware adding new bands and then if still dosent work then it will be the faules antena.....but first we have to se if this is a band missing problem.........its a pitty for this amazing phone ......
UPDATE:
I just got my K10000 Pro back from warranty repair. My retailer contacted Oukitel and they suspected it could be a bad antenna cable (they had some bad batch?). So that's what they changed for me and the issue went away. Really happy for my phone now \o/
Hello,
Who is tour reseller ?
Thanks
I bought my Oukitel from e-ville.
PS.
I'd have added a link but the forum didn't allow.
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
OK thanks. Me on Gearbest. The phone as returned but no news actually.
waiting for new antenna..lets see....
Same issue, opened up the phone. The antenna cable was broken. Sending it back for repair is not an option since it costs way too much. bought from tinydeal lets see how they react to it. Need to find the antenna cable. Could not find it locally.
Made a video when i was opening the phone
If you wanna look at it search for in youtube

Cannot post link i am a new user
Hello,
After 3 weeks in silence, Oukitel send me a message to me with Facebook. It confirm I have a problem of antenna. So now, the problem is known for them.
They want to send me the antenna (free) but I have return the phone to gearbest and I was refunded.

you are lucky to be able to get a refund, i checked with the shipment from my country it is almost half the price of the phone. My money is at waste. If anyone looking for a phone with antenna issue and can bear the shipping costs i will gladly mail them.
For send it to Asia (From France), it cost 36 euros. Paypal as refunded me 30 (the max). So it cost at the final, 6 euros for me.
If you paid with paypal, you can ask them 30 euros for the shippement.
Regards.
Same problem here too.

Call from car Bluetooth interfce unlockes the screen

A week ago or so a got ATT variant of S9+ and spent a lot of time personalizing the phone only to find out at that the phone is affected by a serious glitch.
The screen unlocks when a call is initiated from Bluetooth car interface (with Safe Lock Off). I contacted Samsung customer service. After days of back and forth and after exhausting all remedies including full reset on a brand new phone the result was the same.
I tried the phone with my wife’s car. The same thing. Out curiosity, with help of ATT store manager I also tested her brand new Note 9 in my car. No difference. A call from car Bluetooth unlocks the screen. Plugging headphones in does not.
I returned the phone to ATT store for credit. Is it ATT variant's glitch or all S9+, Note 9 phones are affected?

I realize you returned your phone, but yes when I make a call from the car's touchscreen interface, the S9+ screen unlocks, but it turns off after my one minute delay and the call of course continues. I'm on AT&T also. I can't speak for other carriers but this is probably normal behavior. The S9+ is on Bluetooth 5.0 whereas most car systems are probably on 4.0. It is not 100% backward compatible as many people think. There are long threads on the Samsung forums about connectivity issues. Your auto dealer may have an update for your car's system.

Perhaps I didn't keep the connection live long enough, but my impression was that the phone locked only when I terminated the call. I don't believe that Bluetooth version plays any role here. My BMW 650i has up to date communication software installed. Imagine somebody leaving the phone in the car and the car gets stolen. Whoever has control over the car has access to information on the phone after making a call from the car. From corporate risk management point of view this is not acceptable. Samsung customer support was convinced that the phone is bad and they wanted me to send it for repair. After trying the Note 9 with the same end result, I started to suspect that perhaps the glitch affects ATT variants only. But if this normal, how can they fix it. I tried everything they suggested and at the end returned the phone. I posted my comments on ATT and Samsung websites. They were removed. Nobody tried to contact me.

What phones did you and your wife use before the S9+ that did not unlock the phone at all when you made a call from the car's interface? You might try one of the BMW forums to see what phone other owners are using. No one wants to wait forever for an update that may not come. My only suggestion at this point would be to try a different phone and manufacturer until you find one that works as it should with your car.

I am using HTC 10 and need slightly bigger screen, my wife IPhone. We went through many different cars and phones and had the same problem only once with some earlier HTC model. The outcry was so loud back then, that HTC patched that in a week or so.
