[Q] [i9001] Microphone not working - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
I was a happy owner of SGS+ with BroodROM (or another popular rom from this forum, I don't remember the name) till yesterday, when the internal microphone decided to stop working. Any application (camera, dialer, etc.) just receives a constant regular noise from it and that's all(this makes the phone useless as I can't make a single phone call...). I've already come back to the stock rom(nothing changed) and I'm preparing to go and replace it in the shop (the phone still have 14 months of guarantee, but before I do it, I have a question:
Did anyone have ever got a similar problem and is there a way to repair it without replacing the phone?
Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem with my S3. Just get something thin, stick it in the microphone hole and give it a wiggle. Somtime's dirt and dust can get clogged dude. Worked for me. Don't force it up though otherwise you'll damage your microphone, a little dab'll do ya!

Repaired
Tip actually got useless, because the microphone repaired itself... Anyway thanks for it, it may become handy for me in future.
The weirdest thing is that it happened suddenly and with no reason. I didn't do anything to the phone(I tested it everyday and I used it as usually) and today I have tested the microphone with camera recorder and then with dialer and it worked...
So the problem came out of blue and repaired itself (or as you say, there was some dust which fall out, although how would the dust get in the mic over night and block it, so there would be completely no input at all?) out of blue too.
Anyway, phone works again, so it is a great news for me . Thanks for help.

[Q] Commons problems of hardware on Milestone/Droid phones

Hi, greetings from Colombia!
Mi Motorola Milestone (that I buy the last September after my lost Nokia 5800) on this days had one hardware problem, the power button failed (semms broken), so I take it to the warranty (using CyanogenMod 7 for Milestone Android 2.3.5) and the fixed it!! Weee... But...
I just enjoy my fixed phone for just 1 week, because another defect comes up, the digitizer begins to fail, first, become unresponsive from the right side (and the search button), and, after 3 days, all was OK, but in the afternoon the scren become "crazy", and sometimes the right side begins to fail again, so.. this Monday i has to return it to warranty (I'm hoping that they change my phone for a new one).
From my sight, I have a really bad luck, having two of the most commons problems of this Milestone/Droid phones.
Do you know another common failure of this phones?
The "bubbly" keyboard is quite likely to lose a few keys and the paint on the camera button comes off quite frequently.
I have experienced some of those hardwares problems with 2 Milestones. The camera button I guess its the most common.
Hardware problems that I had:
- Digitizer failing. Replaced on warranty, no problems since.
- Camera button paint came off.
- Bad headphone jack.
- Bubbly keyboard on one of the phones, went to RMA, problem persisted.
- Loose battery cover.
Most of the problems you can live with, except for the failing digitizer.

my digitizer went bad. bought a replacement on ebay. arrived in 9 days. it ain't so straightforward inside the milestone coz of the slider mech but all's good now

Second that.
Lots of people report their screens going nuts or becoming unresponsive - due to moisture or general digitizer failure
My headphone jack was a pain at first - but the more often I use it the better it gets
Guys - I am expecting to receive my Milestone (1) on Monday. But I am just now seeing these hardware issues that you had. After how long did the hardware problems - especially the digitizer - show up? I'm wondering how long I will have to go before it starts calling for parts!
My digitizer died after 9 months (December -> August). At the beginning (first week before completely dead) right side of screen stops working. In second week I saw that digitizer is jumping over menus by itself, then screen stops working.
Everything else is working fine. I hope there will be no other problems with other parts of phone

Same time for me, after 9/10 months my digitalizer started to fail, and the power button problem was 9 months after I got it, btw maybe my power buttons problems was caused by using this buttons to hang out calls (using CM7 settings), so my advice, don't use this function.
And, talking about my phone, the replace it . Now I have a new Milestone, wee...
I bought mine in May 2010 and haven't had any hardware problems.
But a friend of mine bought his' just a month earlier and his keyboard fell apart and the camera button lost its coating.
I guess it's just a matter of luck - and good care of course
The headphone jack has been the only problem I've run into, and it's an issue that apparently can be at least partially fixed by shimming it in one direction or another.
Thanks for the heads up. It seems I have nine months before sh!t starts happening then! Lol. I'm wondering if some of those hardware problems can be fixed or prevented by opening up the phone and giving it a periodic brush out / clean out? For example the headphone jack after becoming loose can probably be re-soldered, etc?
I don't think the solder connections are faulty on the headphone jack.
It just seems to be a little to loose for most 3,5mm plugs.
Some of my headphones give me a lot of trouble - others none at all.
And the more I use it - the less problems I get.
So I'm led to believe that it's more a problem of dust and corrosion that worsens the contact quality.
Talking about headphones, I use a wired BlackBerry headphones, seems ok for me, but sometimes when I move it in the jack, my music is paused (maybe this is related with the different standars of jacks?)
Even if you use a standard 3,5mm stereo connector with not 4th contact at all the phone's gonna interpret a slight loss of contact the same way it does pressing the media button on a media headset.
My Milestone sometimes started playing music when I was watching a movie or whatever.
But if your Phone is rootet you can use the app Autostarts to disable the phone reacting to the media button and therefore problems with loose contacts.

[Q] Camera, LED, headphones not working. Hardware issues?

My girlfriend's N1 has gradually developed some problems. At first the headphones were not being recognized properly. Then camera stopped working. Now that I've taken a look at it the flash light does not work either. If you call someone, 4 times out of 5 the screen goes blank and you cannot end the call. Sometimes this happens when receiving calls as well.
I was using CM7 before and no additional apps were installed. Tried with or without SD card, rebooting, resetting to factory defaults, putting another ROM, restoring to factory ROM.
The symptoms:
- any camera app starts with a black screen and later throws wait/close dialog
- flashlight apps seem to work but no light is coming out
- headphones do not get recognized, tried 4 brands, compressed air, pushing, pulling, pressing. Not a lint issue.
- immediately after pressing a call I get a black screen which I can come out of by pressing a random combination of keys
I tried moving the camera and LED modules with my finger but nothing happened.
Everything else works: calls, trackball with led, bluetooth, wifi.
I had a similar problem with the flash and camera and it was fixed when I swapped out the main board which also has all the ports your having problems with

That sounds unfortunate because the original seller has now closed the shop: site is offline, amazon and ebay products are delisted, does not respond to email.
Even worse, I'm located in Germany and bought the phone here, but I don't really speak the language well enough to contact consumer protection authority and even the HTC support site is all in German. Original box and warranty are in my home country. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I've written a mail to HTC support since GooglePhone has closed shop as well.
Since I'm still on a rant, touchscreen has been acting up since day one, upon heating it registers wrong touches, but this is already a known issue.
It was a nice phone while it lasted, but in hindsight I wouldn't recommend it to anyone anymore. It still looks like new fwiw.

same problem
Hardware
Its hardware issue caused mayb y dropping the N1
so try to replacing ur main board or mayb u can get it repaired if u have a good engineer around u
Thank If my reply helps u ..
Just as an update, the issue with all these phones is the ribbon cable connecting headphone jack, camera, proximity sensor and perhaps [front] speaker. It's probably an easy replacement and the part cost is around 25-40$. The cellphone repair guy said that he has done it a lot of times for this phone type, so it's probably a production/engineering issue.

Microphone problems

Hi there.
I have the s5mini now three days.
The problem is that my friends understand me very very quietly. In the German thread are many Users who have the same problem.
How is that with you?
Is it not possible to adjust something in the service menu ??
Sorry for my bad English...

you need to clean mic hole by needle or toothpick and problem will be solved
I also had the same problem as in the original post so I came here for complaining.
But after trying the needle suggestion above (cheers to the usasha!!) the problem got fixed!!!!
I was about to return it to be serviced, but now I'm so happy with my S5 mini
I used a thin needle and inserted it carefully for 3-4 millimeters, some lint came out.
We have exactly the same problem!
Bought phone and it went to service 3 times in a row. They've replaced everything from microphone to motherboard, even "cleared the mic hole". So, as you can see, we've replaced everything and it didn't get better.
Service even replied that the phone is working as it should. We bought it at the end of august, used it 4 days,.. other days, it was on service.
@greglord: is your last post some kind of a game with finding differences?
Usually this is with two pictures, so I find it very unique using posts instead.
Back to thread topic - I also used needle and now people hear me more clearly than before so thank you @usasha !!
I've installed sound meter from PLAY on 2 android phones my old Desire S and my new g800f. ive noticed that there is a 30dB difference the old one receiving better sound then the 1 day old g800f. sad!

Those who took this advice can say good bye to the water resistant certificate.
All water resistant phones have bad microphone performance!
That's not entirely true, my friends immediately reported that I sounded loud and clear without asking, when I switched back from my G800F to my Xperia ZR, even without them knowing I switched phones. Maybe the sound isn't as good as a non-water resistant phone but it sure can be a lot better than my G800F.
I just got my phone back from the Samsung repair shop, after almost 2 weeks (!). But I doubt they have done anything to fix it because the screen was as smudged as when I brought it there. IIRC well the screen has to be taken out to replace anything inside the phone, or am I wrong?
How to solve this problem without loosing warranty?
I have SM-G800F with stock Android 4.4.2 updated from Samsung to the latest update I can get. Not rooted.
I have mic problem since I've bought this phone two weeks ago. People talking to me say that my voice is muffled as if I hold the phone too far from my mouth. This happens only using phone mic - if I switch to speakerphone or earphone during the call, everyone can hear me great. So, the problem is with the phone mic as if the mic level is too low .
I've searched all over the web and have realized that this is very common problem with S5 or S5 mini. As a solution, people suggest "cleaning" the mic hole which puncture the waterproof membrane of the phone and you loose warranty.
Another approach that could make progress is by editing default_gain.conf file at root /system/etc/ (more at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777535) but for that to work you need to have root which also void warranty - correct?
Suggestions like taking out the battery or wiping the cache partition didn't make any improvement for me.
The only hope for me is hint the I've found the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55192014&postcount=2) on this forums suggesting raising mic level gain setting in phone service menu could solve the problem but there is no explanation how to do it. I've tried to enter the service menu using *#*#0011#*#* and then Menu -> Back -> Menu -> Input Key -> Q -> Menu -> Input Key -> 0000 but service menu doesn't appear like it should.
Any suggestions either on how to enter the service menu or some other way of solving the issue?
I had this phone like 2 days. I unsealed it. It's a nice phone but I recommend don't waste your time with it. Get rid of it you still can
Samsung S5 mini G800 microphone problem solved
Today I had a problem with the G800, the microphone doesn't work when talking about a call, but it works when recording a dictaphone.
I replaced the charging flex, but I didn't solve the problem, the microphone in the call didn't work.
Then I replaced the top microphone on the motherboard, which is used for speakerphone conversations,
and I heated audio IC WM1811GE it with hot air at 320 degrees Celsius for 20 seconds and that's it. Problem solved.
Now my S mini works perfectly, now the microphone works in a call or conversation. :good::good:

Rear camera turn black when use it

Whenever I try to use the rear camera the display turns black while only showing the HUD. The HUD works fine, but the camera doesn't work at all. Nothing is blocking it either.
When switching camera modes (to manual mode for example), an error pops up saying that the "camera is not available"
IMPORTANT NOTE: The front facing camera is working perfectly fine.
Things I tried to do (aside from shipping it for repair):
1. Android repair via the PC companion software
2. Internal reset
3. Safe mode
4. Clearing cache files for the built-in camera app
5. Installing an alternative camera app (the built-in one was disabled)
6. downgrade and upgrade
7.change camera for new one (tested)
I had same situation with regular Z3. Someone brings it to service where I'm working and my first think was camera fault but changing camera didn't fix it. Near camera connection You can see some small capacitors, we call it filters. It looks like capacitors but it's soldered not only on opposite sides but 2 points on both sides. In regular Z3 there was 5 elements like this to change and after that camera starts working. I don't remember how exactly it's made in Z3c but it's really possible that it's the same issue and same way to fix it.
One more thing, if You can check one one more camera to exclude camera itself cause most issues like this are caused by faulty camera. I had many phones (most Z1 and Z1c) with this issue and changing camera always was the solution.
Good luck.
Same Here. Need help too.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
I have three cameras and two z3c, I interchange camera and phone and always the same result
At this moment I don't have any Z3c to disassembly (except mu own but under warranty) to check where those capacitors are but if You could take a picture of camera connector on motherboard and near area I can mark which one should change.
@Chamelleon
Main camera not working
I have the same issue with my Z3 compact. The issue started happening on the 11th month of my one year warranty, I sent it for repair (14 business days y + shipping time back and forth). It came back with the same issue. Sent it back right away. After another three weeks without my phone, I got it back. Guess what? EXACT SAME ISSUE!
I called their support line explaining what happened, the guy told me that there is nothing they can do about it since my warranty expired. Of course they didn't have in consideration that I sent my phone before it expired and it took about seven weeks back and forth. There wasn't any sort of damage on my phone, was never dropped or damaged in any way, I never submerged it even if in theory, that would be ok. The report said "it has reviewed the functioning of the unit, unfortunately the defect is in the PCB so it is not able to undergo repairs to it."
The guy on the phone told me what he thought the report meant. It means there is damage on the main board(not caused by me) and the one year warranty manufacturer warranty department won't repair it. Maybe, if I had bought the 2 year "extended" warranty, they could do something about it. I asked if the issue is that my one year warranty was expired or if it is something that they just don't fix unless you get the "extended" warranty. He couldn't answer me and the only thing he said was "is there anything else I can help you with?"
From what I understood, there are two completely different departments, the one year manufacturer warranty that only cover some things. Not even sure what, because if it's broken screen, water damage or any physical abuse, they won't fix it. If it's a problem with the main board or PCB, they won't fix it either. It is a mystery to me what gets fixed in that department. The other department is the 2 year extended warranty. I'm not sure what they are willing to fix there, but from what they guy on the phone told me, it's more than the one year regular warranty.
Long story short, after two trips to FedEx, at least 8 hours total on phone calls, more than 7 weeks without my phone, I ended where I started. Sorry Sony, never again. Worst customer support I have ever experienced.
At this photo I can see only 4 of this capacitors and marked it, maybe it should be four or one I missed cause quality. Anyway regular Z3 has 5 like this and after changing all 5 camera start working again. You can desolder it from most Sony phones, I used capacitors from MK16 (Xperia Pro). So find some Sony board with capacitors like this and ask someone with good hot air solder station (if You don't have one) to change it.
Any news to this problem? I bought used Z3C with black rear camera problem because it was cheap. (Yes, the front facing camera is working perfectly fine). So far I have only tried software fixes and obviously they didn't help. I ordered new camera module from ebay and I'm now waiting for it. Has anyone tried soldering new capacitors if the new camera module doesn't help?
EDIT: Here is another thead with same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/rear-camera-hardware-detected-black-t3231509
As I said I've done it only in regular Z3 but If You gonna try give me some info is this solution is also working in Z3c case.

I'm still waiting for new camera module. If the new module is not working I will try soldering new capacitors. I will keep you up to date here .
Any news??
Completely forgot to post this, hope it help someone. I made the same thing with black camera on my Z3c. After I broke audio port in my Z3c and had to send it to warranty I took my gf phone, Z3c also. I restored my TWRP backup to her phone and all except camera was working. Camera was completely black but only main, front was OK. After that I was afraid that it's another hardware problem like Yours but after reflashing to stock problem gone. I repeated it few times to check if I'm right and I was. After flashing backup from another phone even without TA and Kernel backup there is a problem with camera.
So I was wrong saying it's only hardware problem. If anyone still has this issue and didn't reflashed his phone check it first.
@Chamelleon yes it's somehow a software problem (if we could say that ). For me i did fix it.
I did a Nandroid backup for my black Z3 compact (camera works properly) an restored it on my new White Z3 compact (also camera woks fine). after restoring the white z3c rear camera shows black screen, the front one is good.
=> i did a format factory reset : didn't work.
=> flashed a TFT file : didn't work.
=> flashed a D5803_23.4.A.1.232_Customized FR.ftf : IT WORKS !
and then i remembered that my phone was from "SFR" , a french network provider.
i hope this helps also
Edit: too new account, would be nice if a mod unlocks the posting of the direct image links and fixes the links - I think they are useful as this is a common problem and i already invested hours translating russian and documenting my research nobody else should have to do it
for me it was a hardware problem after dropping it.. I even changed the camera module.
Did some reseach, russian sites have some input:
Layout1: directupload.net/file/d/4472/9andayji_jpg.htm
Layout2: directupload.net/file/d/4472/vzvgbqqo_jpg.htm
It was loose, but when i tried to push it down with a hot metal to "solder" it, at some point it jumped away and was lost because it is so tiny!
Missing part: directupload.net/file/d/4472/qmut35qt_jpg.htm
The russian site suggest this soldering of bridges, however its not clear to me if they mean one of this electronic pieces (4pins each) or also the lower one.
Russian: directupload.net/file/d/4472/ag43kmda_jpg.htm
The question is now how these (likely) filters (because so close to the camera have to be bridges, it seemed to have worked for some russians:
Pins: directupload.net/file/d/4472/k86j53hr_png.htm
Not sure if there are 4 indipendend pins or if for those small footprints of electronic devices they use only the edges and then they have the same signal.
I was not able to see any text written on those two things, however i didnt have any magnifying glass.

So I changed my camera because I thought it was a hardware failure (tried every other method before: going back to stock, wiping camera files etc.) and it STILL is black. Did you have any success with your camera?

Me not (also changed the HW cam), the guys on the russian site yes (even with other similar sony).
Just check if there is something loose, maybe you are lucky and its a software problem *fingers crossed*. To me it happend exactly after dropping (and changing the screen which went without problems) so I was quite sure its HW based.

Hi basmok,
First off thanks for the research and for the pictures!
I have a similar story, phone was dropped, rear camera won't work, tried different ROMs without any luck then took phone apart and saw that one of the four tiny capacitors
just fell off and now it's MIA...
The last pic from your post (directupload.net/file/d/4472/k86j53hr_png.htm) which I assume shows the soldering of the bridge doesn't seem to work...
Do you still have that pic?
Also did you make any progress on the camera fix or gave up?
Thanks,
Ati

You were lucky, they were already in the recycle bin and deleted on the camera. Best I could do picturewise, i dont have a macro lens. Here we go, added all to imgurl so hopefully they survive longer: http://imgur.com/a/Of1DY
And no, didnt make any progress as i dont know what component they are. Normally all components have lasered some code but not sure if its just too tiny for my eyes or if they dont have it. I was a bit unlucky as i didnt have a soldering tool, so i tried it by pushing the pin down with a paperclip which i headed with a lighter --- well it jumped away and was not the best approach

P30 Pro Failed Lower Microphone Issue - Workaround possible?

I really like my P30 Pro but this last week callers have been complaining they can't hear me all of the call. It seems to be this happens for the first 10-15 seconds of the call and then sporadically throughout the call. I have searched the internet and found that the bottom microphone is not working. The reason that sometimes the caller can hear me is that there is an upper microphone which kicks in sometimes. One solution is to use the loudspeaker option - which appears to use the upper microphone all of the time. Apparently using WhatsApp for calls works too. I was wondering if there is a phone caller app which would utilise the upper microphone all of the time (unlike the default Huawei one). I suspect not, but I think it was worth asking. I have read of people having the same issue and replacing the lower microphone/SIM card unit but it still not working. One person who replaced the microphone (which still didn't work) suggested it might be "the analog to digital converter of the microphone signal" which could be at fault.
EDIT : Just to say the phone is still under warranty but I have a quite badly cracked back on the phone (front is fine) so I guess that may invalidate the warranty. The back has been cracked for quite some time though and the microphone issue is only recent

Thanks.. I bought a SIm/Mic board and a USB ribbon/connector. I couldn't fit the sim/Mic board as I couldn't get the connector from the phone onto it so put the old one back (the board wasn't OEM and I don't think the quality was there). I replaced the USB ribbon/connector and the microphone worked. However, the USB connection wasn't great and fast charging only worked with the USB the one way around. I replaced it with a refurbed original ribbon and all is fine. I wonder if just refixing the SIM board and USB cable would have sorted the microphone too a) why would me replacing one part and you replacing a different part sort the same issue? b) I have seen a post from someone who sorted it by applying pressure around the edges of the phone and the SIM area.
I've also started getting this problem. The other party can't hear me on phone calls for the first ten seconds, and when they finally hear me it's very poor quality. Google hotword recognition also isn't working. I'd only seen people saying they'd replaced the sim/mic board and it hadn't helped, but perhaps they didn't change the connector? Good shout, I'm going to try a refurbed cable.
Having issues with the lower microphone that's been listed all over the net, ie delay in hearing me when answering calls and google assistant not hearing me.
Two lower sim/memory/microphone boards later still didn't fix it. For me swapping out the USB ribbon connector has cured it. Just in case this helps someone.

Hi, I replaced the small board as shown twice, but it was the usb lead also shown that ended up fixing it. I'd start with that. Good luck
Hi! I've got the same issue for some time ago... just purchased a new microphone PCB and replaced with no success. Diagnostics on the phone launched a NON WORKING message
Then just surfing the internet I found this forum where I'll share results once I replace the USB charging (and more) flex.
Cross fingers!!
UPDATE!!
** PROBLEM SOVED**
After replacing the charging flex, the microphone is working FINE .
Selfdoagnostics PASSED succesfully for the microphone testing.
▶ I can not realise about what's the hardward problem but it's true it works.
These are cheap pieces, and taking into account I'm in love with this LAST-Google Serviced Huawei P30 Pro... I really believe it will last at least 2 or 3 years more in my hands!!

Glad you found a solution. I warrantied my phone 9months ago because of the microphone issue. Now it is malfunctioning again unfortunately. The p30 pro has everything i need, still full day of battery. Out of warranty now and prepared to try to repair it by myself. Trying to find how thick tesa tape i need to put it back together, which tape did you use? Do i need Best B7000 glue aswell? Havent taken a phone apart the last couple of years so I need som basic guidance regarding glue and tape.
Best regards
