[Q] Mocrophone Issue

Hey, I've noticed that my Z1 does not correctly use the main microphone of the device. When using any action requiring the main mic, (such as; making phone calls, google now voice commands, voice recognition and Diagnostics, etc.) it doesn't record or recognise any input at all. When I ran Diagnostics all I heard was a sound of air...
I've noticed though, that when recording video the sound quality is low and that when the main speaker is in use, the microphone works (using loudspeaker during calls).
Clearly a Software issue? Since I've upgraded to 4.4.x (I think).
Any ways to resolve this? (recently had a repair on the whole exterior including speaker grill which included factory reset/software upgrade and the problem still persists.)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if problem remains after Repairing by PCC
try to flash another stock rom from another region
after this if problem remains there should be an issue in hardware
maybe water damage or something like this!

[SOLVED] [Q] Lollipop call audio issues (+ is safestrap compatible with LP?)

Had this issue on all Lollipop ROMs I've tried. My earpiece (+headphone jack) is faulty, so I set all my calls to the loudspeaker. Worked fine on KK and on my first days of Lollipop, but then even speaker stopped working. Being unable to make calls, reverted back to KK, working fine (considering I have de earpiece HW issue). Now switched back to Lollipop and it happened again. Tried routing all audio to speaker with SoundAbout, no results except for the first time after installing the app. Speaker works great for everything else, so I'm suspecting of something about how LP routes HW-related audio (calls coming from the network and, I think, FM radio - never used it in my phones, so I have no clue) and SW-related audio (everything else, which comes from file reading, handled by apps, like music, whatsapp audio and notifications) or some issue with the apps and libs (and whatever else) related to calls.
So I'd like help in the following points:
1. Is it possible to revert everything system-wise related to calls to their KK counterparts? Is there a good reason for it not to work well, theoretically, so I shouldn't even bother trying?
2. In case 1 isn't possible, is there a way for me to check everything that should be working about call audio, see what outputs and stuff like that I was supposed to get, and compare these to the ones I get, on testing? I can provide logcat with SoundAbout on and off, if needed;
3. Since it's only happening in LP, should I suppose that this is something related to the earpiece+P2 jack issue that KK ignored, but LP isn't dealing well with? I'm going for a new jack (I think the earpiece issue is caused by it, because it stopped working about the same time my jack was broken beyond repair) in a couple of weeks and this might be solved, but this issue is driving me crazy already. I could live without the earpiece. I could even live without being able to listen to music on my way to work. But it's really sad to need to revert to KK in order to be able to make calls, with the amazing work devs are doing on LP (tried 3 LP ROMs and fell in love with all of them, visual, speed, functionality and stability-wise).
In case nothing works, I considered multi-boot with safestrap, my current LP as "stock" (I don't know if there is a limitation to actual stock FWs in the stock slot at safestrap, could somebody point me this?) and a KK FW (stock or custom, really don't care in this case) for calling. I make few calls a day, but those are very important, so I could spend some time in KK to make calls if I could reboot to LP and enjoy the best of it. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance for any input. Sorry for the long post (I like to give al the details I can and explain my resolution tries and thoughs on the OP to prevent the need to comment a hundred times) and for the awful english.

If your earpiece and 3.5 mm jack are damaged why don't repair your phone?

Safestrap hasn't been compatible since Android 4.4.
And unfortunately you can't downgrade either, not without likely bricking.
But if you're flashing roms, you must have an unlocked bootloader, so why would you need safestrap?

Oh, There's no way to "multi boot" on the moto X.

CM12 call audio updates seem to fix the issue. Will report back after I get my earpiece replaced.

Update: the issue seems to happen if one has a damaged earpiece and installs the whatsapp mic fix. So if anyone out there has this issue, you have to choose: call audio on speakers or recording audio on whatsapp. Will report back, but I have been running for a couple days without issues.

Audio, media, microphone problem

Currently I'm using my Moto XT1058 as my daily driver, about a month ago I've had a problem with all my audio, recording, and media. I'm not sure if a faulty headphone jack would cause this problem.
About 1 and every 15 boots my speakers and media would work. And the microphone to my (I believe my bottom default microphone works(The one that uses the Google Keyboard Auto typing). My headphone jack wouldn't work, my earpeice, and speakerphone mic won't work. It will remain this way until the next reboot.
However about 14 out of 15 reboots... All my audio will not work. Nor any of my media. When I say that I mean I am not able to play a song without my phone giving an error. I am also not able to play any video (YouTube or any web video) without my phone giving my a playback error (That's why I say I do not believe a faulty headphone jack would cause this problem. I thought it would have something to do with the software, but apparently after a reflash to stock I am still not able to get it to work properly. This issue will continue until I reboot it a whole bunch of times and it decides to work one time again.
Sounds weird doesn't it, not sure if there's any fix, but I post here to give if a try to see if anyome could help. Phone doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and never has. It is SIM unlocked (bought it off of eBay while back) I've already tried rerouting the audio problem with 3rd party apps like SoundAbout.

I have the same problem no audio from speaker... Headphones or Bluetooth I also get an error trying to play videos

Phone headset and mic not working during calls

So I recently installed the google play edition ROM (5.0.1). My issue is I cant send nor receive sounds during a call. If I use a external headset, all is well and I can talk/listen over the external headset (be it Bluetooth or wired), or I can swap the over to the phone speaker and it works. However if I place a call without a external headset connected, the phone earpiece, nor the speaker work. I've looked into the no sound issue, but it seems that's been since taken care of. I've tried other ROMs, (bare-bones kit-kat, and CM 12 nightly) and still no sound. Any ideas?
For reference I'm running Verizon HTC M7. Lollipop 5.0.1 Google Plus Edition v2.06, installed with CWM.

Calls work when I flashed CM 10.2 and 12. but not for other ROMs. So its not a hardware issue. I really like the GPE 5.0.2 ROM by santod040 , but there is no sound when calling, ever, not even in the first few minutes after boot. How can I fix this. I'd be happy to provide any debug info as needed

Skype bluetooth doesn't work in the Note 8

I recently switched from the galaxy note 4 to the galaxy note 8 and that made me unable to use skype on the headset. This did not happen with my Note 4, and it does not happen with other apps (i.e. whatsapp)
Steps to reproduce:
Have the headset paired with the phone
Ensure you can get audio from multimedia players
Ensure you can get audio from normal phone calls
Ensure you can get call audio from other apps (i.e. whatsapp)
Ensure you have the latest firmware (1.3.4) and the latest skype (8.10.0.4)
Make a call on skype (i.e. sound testing service)
Expected:
All media streams pause
Headset switches to call mode (you can hear noise cancelling turn off, as happens with normal calls via the phone)
Call works normally and you can hear as well as speak to the other person
Observed:
All media streams pause
Call is routed to the phone earpiece
When hanging up in skype, the skype sound for ending calls is heard on the headphone
Workarounds attempted (none of them work):
Settings > Sounds and vibration > separate app sound
Choose app as skype and audio device as "bluetooth device (QC35)"
Fail
Install BTmono from the play store
You can hear QC35 changing to "call mode" (noise cancelling stops)
As soon as you try calling via skype, QC35 returns to normal mode
Fail
Install SoundAbout
Fail
Install Samsung Connect
Switch Audio Output to QC35
Fail

Workaround for incompatibility between QC35 and Skype for android
Hi,
I've had exactly the same issue and the only workaround has been to use Skype Lite instead of the normal version of the app and the beta version. I guess they use sime type of codec not compatible with the headset.
Have you found any other solution? I don't know if Skype lite is available in all the countries but I'm sure you can easily find it on the web in case you'd like to try if that works for you too

No, I returned my note 8 and switched back to the note 4 (a much better phone in my opinion, especially when you consider how old it is). The root experience in the note 8 is not worth it, everything is crippled and support just wasn't there when I got it. Most of the stuff in XPOSED is broken. I might wait for the note 9 or the new motorola z3 force.
I tried posting in microsoft forums for help, which was completely useless. I also tried posting in bose, and they were much more helpful, as you can see for yourself, but still wasn't able to fix the issue.

Here are a few things you can try:
- Post in samsung forums asking for help
- Try attempting some of the things I tried. Maybe they work for you. There have been a ton of updates since I asked this question.
- Try updating the firmware on your QC35, especially if you've never done it: you get the ability to turn off noise cancelling in one of the patches.
- See if the new QC35-II works. Just go to a store and pair your phone with one of the showcase units.
- For that matter, see if one of the showcase QC35 works with your phone.
- Try pairing your QC35 with another note 8. Just go to a phone store and use the demo phone there (though be careful, some showcase phones are demonstrators and use different hardware)
- Try pairing your QC35 with another model entirely. It's unlikely to be the android version, otherwise bose would have noticed...
