So i was in the middle of a conversation with my friend earlier today and suddenly they could no longer hear me. When i got home i called my house and let the answering machine pick up so i could leave a test message.
ABSOLUTE SILENCE! So am I screwed? will re-flashing my phone fix the handset's microphone? Is it a battery issue? Should I send it in for repairs? Get a replacement?
Also I've only ever dropped this phone once, months ago from a height of about 5 centimeters, it's also never gotten wet or been anywhere humid.
HELP!
Amazing how the problems range on the x10..
Everything from overheating to connection problems.
The best clue is does the phone still do this or just randomly.
If it still does this the MIC is dead..
if it does it randomly, hell only knows.
how the hell can the mic "die" wtf?
Bad audio decoder..
There could be many things that could cause this.
Crappy connections.
Hell only knows and SE employees that are paid to lie about the bad x10 units.
But rest assured that the x10 comes with a 2 year warranty.
So send her back ASAP!
Holy Jesus, i just reverted the phone back to branded 1.6 and it magicaly works. HUH? what kind of black magic is this? XD

lol.. bad firmware
Go to the service test menu and test your microphone there by recording a short message. If you are on 1.6 on screen lock, it's Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back. On 2.1 change Menu to Home key...

First : If u yell too much it goes to hell.. simple as that..
Second : too much dirt between mic and mainboard.. (just assuming that mic is not welded to it)
Third : unperfect material which leads to damaging mic even with normal use..
Many reasons why mic can die.. But it happens to all phones, not only SE
Solution : Use your headset, check then if u have sound, its hardware (mic), if not try to restart then reflash..
Hope that helps
What do you mean change menu to home key? I was on eclair, now i changed to 2.1 generic, unless that's the same thing?

You forgot forces beyond human control like voodoo and satanic curses.
*Update* my mic is apparently working fine, now the issue is that no one on a land line can hear me, apparently, yet mobile to mobile seems to work flawlessly. What gives? =/ This just keeps gettine weirder and weirder.
I keep getting awierd sound from speakers after the device has been asleep..sort of like a buzz sound..can't really explain it..but it happens when the device first makes a sound after its been sleeping..anyone know what this could be? Kernel maybe?

Maybe electrical interference?
Move the tablet away from any other electronic devices (especially mobile phones) and see if it persists.
It hasnt really been near any phones..my phone is about 1 foot away from the touchpad..I have had it closer before and it hasn't made a noise..
I think I know what you mean, the sound is like a short buzz or "Donk" sound. I sometimes get it when I first click on the pad or when I swipe up to close an app.
The only thing I can think of that I did was installing the increase sound patch and later removed the patch. It started after that.

I got this after going through various patches, although I didn't install the sound patch. It went away for me after a few reboots.
To the OP, you may have abnormally good hearing and can hear the white noise speakers make when they're activated, try it with some other devices, see if you hear the same buzz, if not, call HP and get a replacement.

Touchpad weird sound
Ok so i just got my Touchpad 16GB yesterday and while i was playing around with it, i noticed it doing a weird sound like when those old speakers where powered on. I updated to 3.0.2 and it still does it.
Ps: Its not the WEE easteregg sound
Not sure what sound you mean but it shouldn't be making any noises you don't want it to. Get in touch with HP to see if they can fix it for you.

Well, i bought it from ebay (from canada) so im not sure if they will even think about checking it.
It makes that sound only when its not in 'mute' and when im using it. When the screen is locked, nothing happens. It sounds like a little shutter noise of half a second length.
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and a n00b, so please be gentle
I have an old Xperia Z2 which I bought in 2014. The phone is fantastic, and in complete working condition till now. I recently updated it to Marshmallow as well and it works without a hitch (in comparison to my daily driver - Galaxy Note 4 which went really sluggish with Marshmallow). However, I have a strange problem which I'm unable to rectify. The earpiece volume on the phone has gone really low. This problem popped up sometime last October (even while on Lollipop), and I didn't worry too much about it as I had my Note 4 as a daily driver. But I'm now using 2 SIMs, so I need this phone to work.
The sound from the earpiece has become extremely low, and it is impossible to hear the other person when outside even with low traffic noises. I've tried tinkering with all settings/methods available, shutting off the noise cancelling mic, trying to clean the earpiece grille, performing a hard reset, but nothing helped. However, the volume is fine when playing audio through the speakers (I'm not sure through, I assume that the earpiece doubles up as a speaker - I may be wrong). Everything is fine with wired/wireless earphones though.
Is there a way I can tweak anything to make this better - I mean, all I want is the earpiece volume to be loud enough to be usable. The phone has been out of warranty for a long time, so I'm fine with rooting it. However, I'm a n00b (as already mentioned), and I need some guidance on how to do it. Also, I'm a bit wary of taking it to service, as firstly the phone is out of warranty and repair would cost a bomb surely, and secondly - I don't want to mess up the water resistance (not that I dunk it in water, but it's a nice to have feature).
Can anyone please help me out with this? Also, does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
if you are rooted and have a working recovery try this audio mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...-dontbelive-marshmallow-stereomod-v1-t3366065. It increases the speaker and earphone volume and i am using this mod on my z2 this is great.

Not that kind of advanced n00b. Yup I did, the earpiece is at highest volume.
hi..just bought this phone about 2months, now i'm facing No sound/audio at all, here's some detail and if anyone of you any good hardware repair skills here, i need your help, as i believe100% it's not the software issues:
1. phonecall, on stock MIUI (NoROOT/customkernel,pure officialrom) its freeze/hang when dialling numbers - few second latter its rebooted itself. voice recording app won't work can't use the app as its error pop-up said, and sometimes i need to hard restart to use the phone again. and its gime bootloop and drained battery (4000mah cannot even survived for 7hour), even with no internet connections the battery still drain fast.
2. when someone calling me,there's no ringtones, even when i answering the call there's no sound at all, no musics sound, any audio files i play only hisssing/noise sounds i can hear just like feedback sound.
3. Unlocking Bootloader, replacing other rom the sounds completely disapear, no hissing,noise at all (CM,Mokee) and still phone app freeze/hang when i try make a phonecall,(reboot/hardreset)the only solution to make the phone back in usable state.
4. installing Citrus ROM, the sounds back but only hissing/noise sound on sometimes i can here the sound with some feedback issues. phone app works i can make a call without freeze/hang,no reboots, but i can't totally hear someone talk to me at all, but when i turn on the loudspeaker i can hear someone talk to me (with some annoying feedback sounds),
5. as i bricked it once and need to reach testpoint so i believe its not under warranty, seal already broken.
6.ordering the parts, connector charging board(which contain whole set new audio i guess hope can fix the issues, but just noticed that if that's part causing the no sound issues, its only fix the audio such as music,ringtones..not the front speaker(phone related still not repairable)
7. trying contact some friends which some understand about hardware told me, i break down the IC Audio so its imposible to repair/change that part since its directly micro-soldered to the mainboard.
anyone have same problem as mine?, or some of you have solutions for my problem please reply .thanks
My RN3P has 2 weeks and today also was no audio to the rear speaker(ear works and using headphones also), he had no kind of fall, spent most of the day inside my pocket, taking only a few pictures, coming home I realized I had no more sound in the rear speaker any solutions?

Same problem as mine.
Even the video recording do not work too.
Is there any solution how to fix it?
I use it as ipa/od without ability to make / receives any phone call, so many ppl has the same problem here seems was Xiaomi's bad hardware components, which mine believes caused by sudden-removal audio/aux jack while its still playing the musics
anyone know the average price to fix the sound ic compared to the phone? maybe 10%, 25%, 50%, or above the price of the new units?
I have the same problem,, could any one tell me where I can buy the hardware (IC sound).
Plz tell me solution. My mobile mi note 3 audio problem, audio only listen Bluetooth.

Redmi NOTE3
I need audio IC for Redmi NOTE3 we're can I buy
hello.it is an old topic. i hope it be useful for anybody else. a few days ago My redmi note 3 pro kenzo was damaged by water. after that when I turned it on, logo of my custom ROM was appear and boot loop ... First I think it was for ROM or kernel. I installed another ROM with other kernels. I could turned on my phone and enter to user interface. but everything that was related to sound ( like : camera-music-call-headphone,... ) was not work at all. I searched a lot. I found out the problem is for Audio IC (WCD9306 Audio IC) this model. https://www.deviceparts.com/wcd9306-audio-ic-for-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-ori.html
it is used in Samsung mobile phone like S4. however you can buy it. but the main problem you can't change it by your own without tools . if you are familiar with hardware it could be useful: http://www.u2ugsm.com/blog/xiaomi-redmi-note-3-ringer-solution-jumper-problem-ways/
I think cleaning IC with cleaner or alcohol might be useful. good luck
Edit: After 4 hours I turned it on and sound is back! I just cleaned it by alcohol and cleaner. but I made mistake. a little bit of that alcohol-water liquid is entered in my LCD screen. I put it in warm place and hope it will get better.
A month ago, my phone hung in the earphone mode. I was temporarily handling this problem until I had enough time to go to the maintenance center through an application called SoundAbout, but this application does not work in Android O (aosp and nos) . Is there a way to make it work? Or other solution without using the application or using another application?
and sorry for bad english.
I also have same problem. My phone also show earphone plugged in all the time. So i have been using these app for my personal use.
You can use this app too it also have widget and quick notification tile which isn't showing in nos oreo yet.
Source code : https://github.com/sajorahasan/AudioRouter
can someone help me optimize the code for oreo?
I also have same problem Nothing helps...Also I use SoundAbout application...
It looks like a hardware problem

It's because of water contact...
You can simply fix this by cleaning head jack part, use some soft tissue and little thinner and a small stick but do it very carefully
I hope it's work...

Try pulling headphones forcefully and pull out with speed do this 2-3 times
I had the same problem after accidental water contact. I simply used a q-tip to remove water inside the jack and then used rubbing alcohol with it to clean it further also opened up the back and air dried the inside using a hairdryer on cold mode. It was a success.
Mind it, the alcohol I used was of high purity, else the water content would have made it worse. So be cautious
I have a redmi note 3 MTK, which happen same things like this. Then i though it spoiled, so i get a new redmi note 3 but is Kate version. Now only realize there is some application can route the audio...LOL
Guys i had this problem too but i have a easy solution..
All you have to do is take your earphone and plug and unplug them quickly 3-4 times. Then the headphone icon should go away and you will be good to go. If that doesnt work try doing it once again. I've done this trick 3-4 times and it worked everytime..hope it helped
I've had the same problem for months now. It sucks, but I can get everything to work with Headset toggle and Soundabout. The jack itself works perfectly though with headphones. I've tried cleaning the jack with condensed air and q-tips, but neither worked, if anyone still has an idea on how to solve it, then I'd be happy to try it.
Use q-tips (cotton swab) and clean headphone jack on your phone. There are many videos on Youtube how to do this.

I have the same problem. It started a couple of days before but would go away on its own. Now it's persistent. Tried cleaning the jack and all but to no avail.
use agni kernel
There is a fix using Agni and Redon kernal for Headphone jack stuck problem.
Go to Agni Kernal thread from below link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...2-10-2016-agni-purecm-n-v1-7-t3472640/page476
And download kernal zip file according to your rom. Flash it using TWRP recovery.
Between flashing when you are into aroma installer, there is and option to select headphone jack problem fix, select that option and install it.
Your headphone jack stuck problem will be end.
If it does not work then make sure you are rooted and given root permission to agni control app.
I think the simple solution to this is to go to a repair shop. As this is a common issue and happens when there's a short circuit near those parts. No need to worry, just go to a repair shop, the guy will fix it in a few minutes, depending on how trained/experienced he is.
Also why does these old threads are showing up on front page of RN3 Q&A?
