Since the last month or so I have had a problem with the headset on my O2x. It is NOT an issue with the headset, it works on other devices and also other headsets have the same issue on my phone.
The thing is that the right channel is very, very, very low. Left channel sounds great. I've been running Temasek CM7 with symbi0sis all the time and never ever installed any kind of mod that would mess with sound. I have reflashed rom and kernel several times. I have not gone back to stock because it's such a process, but I will probably do that today or tomorrow.
I have been googling for days now but now I feel I have to start this thread here because I don't see a way of fixing this issue.
Sooo, my question is: does anyone out there have an idea of what I can do?! Please post if you do. I'm desperate at this point.

Get a piece of cloth, wrap it around a small pin and clean out the headphone port with that. Try using a compressed air can before you stick a cloth into your headphone port.

Hey I was trying to fix my twcr a few weeks ago after installing arhd 3.0.1 and ran a script I came across that changed some of the files in my etc/soundimage folder I think it was. Either way since then my sound via headset is horrible. My music plays horrible. In poweramp I ha e to turn the balance knob to the right or left to hear vocals. My in call volume is also garbage via the headset now. It's really low.
I've tried everything I can thi.k of. Ran an old nandroid from months back that had gingerbread. I've wiped the system and did a clean Rom install. And the sound via headset is the same no matter work. I shud point out that sound via speaker is fine.

Did you wipe the data partition when you reflashed the Rom?
I don't believe I did. I did run superwipe tho so I think that cleans it right?

Yes it does. Changes made to audio through a script do not persist through a complete wipe and fresh install of the operating system. It could be a hardware issue with your headset.
happens on any headset. not sure what happened. not the end of the world but i wish i cud get it working again.
Gonna bump.this and hope someone has any guesses as to what I can do since the forums have been busy lately

I've been avoiding that. I did run an old backup and formatted bit the same thing happened. I know the sound works because a notification blows my ear drums out via headset but a call or music sound brutal.

I repacked that file with stock version from our phone and cleaned up the install script so it can run without errors. Try flashing it and see if that fixes your issue. Wipe cache and dalvik.
i believe it may be a hardware issue. if i put a little presure on the jack towards the back and down it works fine. coulda swore this headset worked tho. maybe it got bumped and a connector or something moved.
weird. i ran that and now it works better. its a little touchy if i bump it it does the same thing but i can get the sound normal now. which makes no sense.
Hello guys. Im feeling very frustrated now, i bought 2 phones on ebay from different sellers and both of them have problems when i play music. The sound goes off and became very quiet for some reason. To get it back i need to hit the speaker's area and it becomes fine again but for some short time only. I think it is a common problem and many people did have this problem. I tried to flash different fimwares etc, no luck. Please anybody help.. Regards

I was quite tempted to use LMGTFY but won't work at work lol.. So yeah, here's the answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351278
If that doesn't work, some users reported that pushing on the speaker (after taking the back off) fixed their problem.
Hope it helps! and remember, a little search goes a long way

Solved
I don't know what happened. All of a sudden callers can't hear me while I can hear them. I did some research and it looks like the lower mic is out. When I try to record my own voice I can barely hear it. Speaker phone worked with callers for a while, but now all of a sudden they can't hear me on speaker phone either.
I'm thinking it might have been water damage or my cat did knock my phone off my bedside table twice, but I don't really know the cause for sure.
I can't afford to buy another phone right now. I really need to find a way to fix this.
Please advise. All suggestions welcome!

Afraid not.
I hope someone can chime in with info on how to help... you may want to JUST FOR KICKS try flashing a different ROM and pray it is a software error...although I doubt it.
Guess a solution...absent having to do hardware repair... is use a Bluetooth or wired headset
Does anyone know if the mic is hardwired into the mobo or if it is an aux attachment?

Please add info about your phone, ROM, rooted? better would be screen shot your about phone page and attach it. here is what I did to my Note N-7000 when it had such problem.
When I found out this problem my phone had ICS 4.0.4 fully rooted with safe kernel. First thing I did, backed up all my apps (Titanium Backup root), contacts (Super backup App.) etc. Then did a Factory reset from settings. Tested my phone by talking to my wife in other room, was working fine. Then I looked into apps I had installed and removed I did not really wanted. And it worked.
So I would suggest you to do same before thinking of flashing any other ROM if you are happy with the one you got.

Thanks for responding!
I was on a custom JB rom (RocketRom) ... wiped everything and switched to one of the newer ICS leaks ... (AllianceRom) Didn't make any difference, unfortunately.
I'm thinking it has to be hardware, and I'm going to have to open this sucker up and see what I can see.
Newer ICS leaks?
ICS has final released version... you installed alliance ICS? Or the JB leak?
Jb =4.1
ICS = 4.0

Ah yes, of course you are correct. I mixed the two up in my post. Was on ICS, now on JB.
Strange thing ... A short while after switching to JB, I noticed the the voice recorder function is working again. It was not before, but now I can actually hear recordings I make. Also Speaker Phone is working again, so callers can hear me as long as I use that option.
Youtube, yes, that is my next option.
You may want to try a gingerbread ROM for kicks

not its happening with me . it comes and goes automatically . its a hardware issue when I insert and remove charger it goes.
My device needs immediate help...tried all the googling....
Tried nvflashing, smart flashing (KDZ from win8 is such a big mess and could not do it), changing of BB (from V20 to V30 A/B), factory reset...almost everything...
When I call someone, I cant hear them and neither the person called....call is on and it is charged. No sound from the device. So, I flashed the stock ROM and checked through the hidden menu and absolutely no ring during the ring test....
once or twice, when I did the factory reset, I had the sound working and the call working....but now I have done the progmaq NVflash and then changed to new bootloader, rooted, partitioned all that....but now I have no sounds, neither call is made from the phone.....the call is not heard through the ear piece....caller gets it but I cant hear it
Tried all the CM ROMs, Stock ROMs from Civato, Jishnu, sgspluss, Topo, including the nvflashing of stock by Stefan.....absolutely no result.
has anyone any clue about this? Please suggest any ideas.
Sad... i always find Opti-3D GB by Homero the best for the complete repartition. Also done through NvFlash. Do some searching around and you will find a working download link (mediafire). On phone now, but if you cant find it, just let me know.
First time I read about such issue, hoping it isn't defect hardware. Will do some searching around for you to see other solutions when I get on PC if this won't help.
Good luck!

Really hope not, but maybe problem in hardware...
Nvflash Homero2 20S.
Customize and test the calls.
Eventually
Smartflash again the bb you want
Reset to factory
Customize.

Have used progmaq, then according to your recommendations used the Homero's clean ROM.....but no sound.....
Looks like a hardware issue....have everything else working perfectly but calls cant be handled, no sound on speaker, no sound from the other side or from my side to the other....
Dont know what to do now.....a long weekend due to festivals....so have to keep trying something....win8 does not allow the LG KDZ update server by spyrosk....
when tough times come.....they are really tough....:crying:

Don't use that option. Flash KDZ this way: Extract it using spyrosk tool, then flash it with Smartflash. I could never get the other way to work either, so do it with Smartflash after extracing the KDZ
I hope you can solve this problem. We dont want to loose you... But it sounds like a Hardware issue. Maybe you could try it with an win 7 pc?

Well, I have another o2x lying around, but it's broken, but still I would guess that the sound should work just fine. This one are hardware bricked so it can only be used as spare part device. Let me know buddy
such an overwhelming moment, when each time I see people in trouble being helped by so many others in this forum....
@SuperSkill
buddy I will let you know. I am travelling to Shanghai tonight and such unfortunate that I have no calling sound or phone connectivity.....but I will try to manage and then try to take it to the service centre soon. hugs and as always LU buddy
I hope I can fix it soon.

Bhai, try there, if not possible when you come down to bangalore we will get it sorted. If its a hardware issue and its its around Rs500 or so, we can proceed, but beyond that frankly speaking its of no use.
Can you play some sound or select a sound for phone call or notify?
If no sound is played the thing is bad.

Sometimes I can and sometimes not....the dialer always comes up when I receive a call but when this issue crops up....I can't hear the other side neither the other side can hear me...I can select the ringtone, change it but no sound....
Presently I am not facing any issues but this on off thing is driving me crazy as some calls are missed....Have switched on the vibe....
Well, need to wait and see....check with the centre for repair....if it is expensive....then this device will be used as a spare cause I can't use without connectivity.....my boss will kill me....lol
Fingers crossed...I love this device
Thanks guys for all the valuable suggestions

Hi All,
Got the Z1 last week about 9 dates ago as a replacement for a Samsung Galaxy S3. Generally liking it, though struggling to get used to the size of the handset. One major issue, though that I can't easily sort or find an answer to anywhere.
Basically, when I use a wired headset with inline mic for phone calls, the microphone is way too sensitive. It picks up every movement of the headphone cord, every rustle on my clothes, etc. Tried about 5 different headsets, including a dedicated Android one button Sennheiser headset. All the same. None of these proved a problem with
Anyone any ideas on what's causing it or how to fix it? Is there something simple I'm missing? It's making calls a painful experience.
Thanks in anticipation.

Nope. In one case, the headphones/headset goes back as far as an IPhone 4, so about three years ago. This is the first time I've had the issue with any of them.

Tried that. No change. S3 better than this? In this respect only. V pleased to see the back of the S3, as it constantly had firmware issues, caused, no doubt. Random battery life issues (sometimes lasting a day, sometimes a few hours), crashes, screen redraw issues, glitchy music playback. I could go on.

I think with Root you can get work anything even the sensitivity of your microphone. It can be easy like edit build.prop that something more but I am sure the sensitivity can be managed. If I find something I will post.
