Hey Friends
i got a Xperia Z from a Friend who wanted to throw it away cuz some parts were broken.
i could fix it to the point were everything is working except this:
Cameras (not found it says but its connected, so i guess i need new modules?)
Microphone (in the service menu test, secondary microphone is working, only the "main" isnt)
Bluetooth couldnt find my bluetooth headset too, but thats not that much of a problem.
Flashlight LED
So my main Question is, if i replace the whole flex cable for the power btn and volume buttons (where the microphone is located?) itll work again?

I have an wierd problem in my htc touch diamond.
Everytime i connect the headphones it tries to autodial a name in my contacts list.
And if i connect the radio it doest it nonstop... i heard the "bip" and then its like if it wanted to dial a name...
It sounds strange..but it is like that.
hope somenone knows what im talking about cause im gettting nuts...
Spanish original vodafone rom, not that many programs installed, although started doing it after installing thumbcal and pocketmax alarm today.. although I dont think that is the problem since i restored with spb backap a 1 month ago backup i made and still same headphones problem.
Have checked the headphone button.. and it seems to be ok (at first I though if maybe was stuck..)
Got the same problem. Did anyone know how to solve it?
sounds to me like a faulty headset. Try to connect a different set of headphones and see if it acts the same way.
I got same problem
Hi, your problem solved? my HTC diamond got the same problem, so irritating.
I have the same problem, I was told it was that the button on the headphones was too sensitive, so as I never use it I ripped the button off.
It isn't nearly as bad but still does it sometimes.
My friend with the same phone says that this fixed his though.
I think I need to have another go at it, see if I can stop it properly.
Ok, so I pulled the cover from the button on the headphones and ripped out all of the metal button that is attached to the board inside.
It's certainly working so far.
headphones HELP PLEASE!!!
hey guys i picked a pair of headphones from the store they fit my htc daimond and all but wen i plug them in nuthing happens wen i plug ionto to my razr or slvr they work fine is there an app that can help change this or something please help
HTC headphones auto dial problem finally solved!!!!
guys,I am using HTC Touch Pro2,I have same problem when headphone is plugged into HTC touch pro2;
Description of symptom:
Sometimes when you touch or move the wires of headphone,the phone will automatically dial back the first number in your call hisory (it's not "contacts list" as this poster said),the problem is not stable,when you deliberately fiddle with the wires of headphone hoping to find out what is the problem,it doesnt auto dial,while when you casually try to adjust the position of the wires to make yourself comfortable,it auto dials!
People completely have no idea what is going on,like it's a ghost behind it.
I initially believed that maybe the movement of the wires shakes the USB slot,which triggers internal electronic touching or somthing.
Like others,I checked whether there is some button along the wires of headphone,I found none,thus this mystery remains forever.
However,the other day,suddenly I did find a button in the wire. Now pls look at your HTC headphone,the middle of the black box(where two wires are jointed) is the button! the cover of this box is clickable, pls try to click it sveral times,the phone will auto dial.
it is now clear that this clickable cover (button) is specifically designed to auto dial back the call when you use headphone.
The button is so sensitive that even small touch will make it execute.
I had the same problem
I had this annoying problem and i sent my phone in service. I got a new pair of headphones and after some time (~1 year) same problem occured. I think this are the crappiest headphones i ever seen . THX HTC ) anyone found any good headphones (not necessarily original) that I can buy?
same problem
Had the same problem. It's caused by faulty wiring in the headphones. Mine do the calling when the wire at the end of the connector gets wiggled into certain positions (i.e. when I keep it in my pocket or in my hand while running). It's really annoying especially since this is my 3rd set in as many months that has this problem.
I've also noticed that Orange is selling them at a quarter of the price they had in December. I'm guessing they're trying to get rid of them since the new models from htc come with standard headphone jacks.
Only sure fire solution to the problem is getting a new pair.
Same here.
There are other threads about this problem.
Still looking for a solution like, let's say a registry hack that disables the headset button...
HELP
Ok so the digitizer on my milestone went bad about a month ago, i ordered one off ebay and installed it myself. unfortunately while doing so i ripped the flex ribbon that has the sensors attached to it. went on ebay again and ordered that part and installed it, didnt destroy anything this time.
put the phone back together and everything seemed to be working fine, then i got a call, the person on the other end couldnt hear me and the proximity sensor caused the screen to go blank even before i put the phone to my ear
if i put the phone on speaker phone the person hears me but its very low im told, inserting the headset works fine, person can hear me perfectly.
i tried doing a recording with the phones sound recorder and all i hear is a hissing type sound when i play it back, i also downloaded an app to test the proximity sensor and its showing a distance of zero and when i put my finger near and further away from it its still saying zero.
tried doing a battery pull..hard reset, reflashing the froyomod that i have install and nothing seems to work, could this be a defect with the flex ribbon i bought? would this ribbon affect the microphone?
any help would be appreciated
Thanks
I also damaged the flex ribbon while changing the digitizer... where did you get the ribbon? Anywhere in the EU?
got it off ebay..it was shipped from china
bump........
I have the same problem and it's the effect of the digitizer replacement. Light can get access to the sensor between the digitizer and the sensor. If you press the left upper side of the digitizer the proximity sensor is working again, very annoying during calls. I tried to put some spongy tape behind the sensor and the metal backing plate it's better but not perfect.

Luvkillin, have you been able to fix this abomination of a mobile phone? I had a malfunctioning digitiser and replaced it, after that the microphone stopped working so i thought that I had broken the microphone. Changed the audio pcb and turns out that its still not working. My prox sensor also doesn't work but with all the other problems this is just a nuisance.
I found that motorola couldn't be arsed specifying the second microphone that is on the logic board and some acting as noise cancelling. I installed a db meter app and picks approximately 25db except when the phone rings which goes to 65db. So if the noise cancelling module is disabled by software, the mic could work without changing the logic board.
Did you manage to fix it?

No i havent, its just sitting at home in a drawer
i also installed a db meter app and got a consistent 16-19db when the phone is not in use. i assumed that it was too much of a coincidence that everything was working before and as soon as i changed the cable and digitizer they stopped working. plus the digitizer and cable i bought was for the milestone a855 and i have a a853. when i checked they seemed to be the same but i guess not.
im planning to just buy a new digitizer and cable for my phone specifically and see how it goes.

I believe its the noise reduction microphone damaged at some point in the disassembly. Did you check the 3 gold pins on the right upper side of the logic board?

Yea i did. dont see any damage at all to the pins or the board
The same problem here. I've changed digitizer and my proximity sensor stopped working. So I thought that I broke it during the work. I've ordered new main flex with the sensor. It was much better but still not perfect. But microphone went down. I think the problem is microphone board or the flex cable that connects it to the mainboard. Did you manage to solve the problem? I've ordered new mic and new flex.

Nope..still no fix
did that fix yours?
anyone knows how to disable to noise cancellation microphone?
Hi guys,
to refer to the proximity sensor issue, i'd like to point you on my old post over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9810999&postcount=8
Please check for the rubber...
Concerning the microphone, this might be related to the electrical contacts of the mic.
Please make sure again that everthing is right in place.
Would not harm to check the flex cable connectors as well.
Regards,
scholbert
Solved problem
Hi to all,
I had problem with my proximity sensor, it didn't work at all. (I had cm7, cm6 and cm9 rom)
I installed stock rom and it works again. ))
Microphone problem
Hi all !, I'm having a similar issue after change the digitizer, I'm not having any issue with the proximity sensor ... but is not the case with my microphone, when I answered a call my voice is heard into the speaker and the other person didn't hear me .. somebody found a solution to this problem ? Thanks all !
Had simular problem after replacing digitazer. if i press hard on upper side of the screen, then for some time everything comes to normal. So i desided to heat it up using a hair dyer for about 10 minutes, than press as hard as i can and wait till cool down. now everything is fine.
Hello
I got an I9000. A few days ago I dissasembled the phone to separate the glass from the frame to fix the "home" button.
I was able to remove it without breaking the screen and fixed it. When I assembled everything back together I noticed that the earphone doesn't work and I can't hear what the other person says in a call. If I enable hands free it works well (uses the main speaker of the phone) and if I connect headphones to the audio jack it works as well.
Microphone is working fine (using the audio jack or using the phone's microphone).
I tried to replace the earphone-audiojack-light sensor module and it still doesn't work. I tried 2 different ones with no success.
The light sensor / proximity sensor works good as well. So I don't think there's a damage on the motherboard or the socket itself.
According to the I9000 technician manual it says to follow a few checks for this module that I attached on the attachments.
The components it asks to check are:
U207 - IC-CODEC
UCP200 - IC-MODEM
HDC302 - HEADER-BOARD TO BOARD
Surpsingly I am sure those components are used for other features of the phone. For example the IC-Codec must be the audio codec used to play sound. Sound works perfectly on the other speaker and on the audio jack. IC-MODEM is probably the chip that holds the modem.bin firmware of the phone, so if there was a failure with this chip I think I should have no signal, and I do. HDC302, well, could be, I wonder why tho since I've been carefully with this and I have dissasembled this phone a few times already with no issue.
Could you help me? How do the tests indicated in the manual? I only have a multimeter, but not an oscilloscope.
Thank you!
Hello
Seems this is a tough question. Do you know where I could find information? Maybe another forum that it's more into mobile hardware stuff?
Thank you.
Hello
After checking the pins with a multimeter I noticed that the pins 11 and 13 from the earpiece were not in continuity. Replaced the piece (a few times because all of them were broken) and phone is working again.
Thanks.
Hi everyone !
I got a Xperia Z1 and i recently changed the buttons board inside the phone, but unfotunately I broke the microphone you use when you are calling, but the microphone in speaker mode still work.
Where call microphone is placed on the board, and which element I have to replace to make call microphone working?
Hi all,
The microphone of my p30pro suddenly stopt working.
In a call the p30 is smart enough to use the top mic when there is no input on the bottom mic, but for Google, Shazam etc etc it is very annoying.
I have checked the mic hole near the Sim tray, all clear
Did a facorty reset, still not working
Placed a new sim/mic board (from aliexpres) still not workinh
Did a new factory reset after replacing the board, still not working
What else could it be? The board from aliexpres could be defect, but that is not logical because the Sim tray is working perfect.
Someone has a tip or the same issue?
Thanks
Did you find the Solution?
I had the same issue, 1st i powered on on safe mode (hold the power button and upper volume button till you see the menu and choose safe mode( to be sure that no any 3rd party app is running and i made a test call and the bottom mic was working perfectly.
then after power on the phone again i uninstalled clubhouse and the mic fixed and working fine.
i tried to install clubhouse again and mic is not impacted again.
