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 :\

experiencing exactly the same issue, replaced the USB flex and now have no microphone pickup on voice calls / voice recorder apps.
using ICS so not got the service mode audio options available (says BLOCKED)
don't know where I've gone wrong? maybe the part wasn't exactly right? I got it from here > http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251069751004
Heres someone that lists a seller and he says he has no problems.
Same here

Up here, anyone found solution for this issue? I'm experimenting now the same problem with microphone after replacing the USB flex board...
Thanks
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.

damn, i got the same then... its gonna be hard to get a proper board... I was thinking maybe, it had some kind of security by solder like lasers...
There's a little difference between 2.2 and 2.3, a single resistor, could it be?
Also, can't connect USB in Mass storage...

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.

I'm looking at two 2.3 models. One seems teal colored the other is a dark blue. Which one is the oem? Actually which color is yours?

The second one looks just like mine. But the OEM part actually comes with a grey mic enclosure. Make sure your part comes with it.

I tried a Skype test call with my XTZ. The volume of my mic was extremely low. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks
Same problem for me :-/

If I'm corect, the mic is placed at the top if the tablet, next to the infrared sensor. That might be part of the reason why it captures poor audio.

I just bought the tablet and I have the same issue. Quite disappointing I say, for a high end device. As the sound in the camera video recording is fine, I can only hope this is a software issue that will be fixed with an update.
I also have this problem. Emailed Sony support, we'll see what happens.
Sony confirmed that the device is faulty and have asked me to return it. Took a while to get through to anyone useful, though. The number I eventually used (in the UK) was 020 8762 5800. That's Sony Mobile Support. I explained the problem and they emailed me return instructions.
So if you have this problem, your device is faulty and you should contact Sony and get it repaired under the warranty.
Just got my SGP321 and discovered this annoying issue (yes, i'm on the latest fw .307)
Anyone on a custom ROM having the same issue?

I have tried different versions of cyanogenmod . All had the issue including the current version cm 11 nightly. Is it a hardware defect or a software? I have lost warranty on this thing so I'm hoping for a magic app or a cm update that addresses the issue. Is there anything out there?
i have same issue on cm11... can anyone help?
same problem with bluetooth headset....
Any help on this? Damn it Sony
I'm having Bluetooth connectivity issues, specifically with my car (Volvo XC60, Bluetooth 04.23_R). For the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been using MegaFireMj2V6. Bluetooth was fine with other devices but the car wouldn't connect, always bringing up the "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped" error. Yesterday I upgraded to MegaFireMj2V7X, and now I'm having issues with connecting other devices as well, in other words the problem is now even worse.
I'm new to ROMs and flashing. Is it possible to replace and audition alternative Bluetooth elements in the hope of fixing the problem? Failing that I'll have no choice but to try another ROM entirely. That would be a shame because I'm enjoying MegaFire. But Bluetooth connection between my phone and car is essential. I'm not a power user, I just need a simple ROM, preferably no bloatware but definitely good, reliable bluetooth. Any recomendations, please?
You can replace your Bluetooth now..

Could you be more specific?
I've researched and have found that the Bluetooth stack, "Bluetooth Share", can be replaced. I've tried out three backups of my own, created by Titanium Backup in recent weeks, but unfortunately, this hasn't solved my Bluetooth issue. I have Bluetooth Share v 4.2.2. Is that the only version available, or can anyone let me know where I can find and audition alternatives? Failing that, I'll be re-flashing MegaFireMj2V7X later today and keeping my fingers crossed that that does the trick (although I don't think it will!).

Yes. I can..
Thanks, Turl3. Reinstalling MegaFireMj2V7X repaired Bluetooth, but I'm left with the issue that I can't run two devices at once. I want to connect to both my Sony Smartwatch2 and my car at the same time. I've posted in the Q&A forum to see if anyone can help.

Bluetooth is weird! It wouldn't connect ... it wouldn't connect ... But then today, without my doing anything at all, I got into the car and all of a sudden both devices are connecting perfectly!! And it's been like that all afternoon. I'm not going to touch any settings on any device, and hopefully things will stay as they are

I need a new strap - where/ when can I get one?
(Required because I too have the GPS antenna issue, and in trying to fix it, I made a FU)
Nothing at the pearl.de store, where chargers are available. Still no sign of the support outlets Le Pen once talked of...
I think Lokifish once mentioned he is on his third set. (?)
not a new to buy but a way to repair it or make a new on your own. From a german talking forum... Use Google to translate when needed.
