Earpiece functionality breaks after Oreo update - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi All,
Of late I've updated my 3T to Oreo and once the upgrade is done I am unable to make calls, receive calls since the voice of my end is totally mute at the other end. It was all working fine till I had the last update but after this upgrade the earpiece functionality has totally become sort of unstable. I am able to listen to Music but when I call, the other end person is unable to hear my voice.
Is there any fix that I need to apply to fix this problem? Its very annoying to have the earpiece functionality being broken.
Please help!

Earpiece? I think you mean the microphone is not working. I'm not sure if you mean by a third-party earphone, or if you're talking about your in-built mic.
If it is your inbuilt mic, try flashing a ROM. Preferably N20s or Cardinal Xtended. If that does not fix it, I recommend you send the device in for an RMA.

If it was the update from OOS 4.5.1 to 5.0, I suggest you to do factory reset (which is recommended when upgrading Android version).

[Q] Phone microphone stopped working...

My Tmo HTC One phone's microphone stopped working a few days ago when I use the handset to make calls. The mic works when I have it on speakerphone and my bluetooth headset works. I was running ARHD 13.4 when this started and I upgraded to ARHD 20.2 (with 3.17.401.2) last night but did not make a phone call until this morning. My wife said it sounded like I was in a windy room when I tried to call her, so I rebooted and now she cant hear anything when I call (unless I use speakerphone or BT headset).
I have insurance on the phone, but I do not want ot mess with making a claim until I have tried everything I can on my end.
Any tips or things I should try?
So you are saying that the microphone works, but not during calls?
This means it is a software not hardware issue
Install the latest AHRD (V21.0 is due out soon)
Follow the instructions in the Rom's first post
As it is a new build you need to flash clean and not dirty (again all explained in the first post)
This should resolve it for you :highfive:

just tried another Rom and same problem as above, sounds crackly and windy...seems right that it would be a software issue because the mic works fine during speakerphone mode, but I have no idea ?? i feel like sticking a pin in the mic in case theres something stuck in there , but...im sure thats a horrible idea!

[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.)

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.
Sent from my ghost using XDA Free mobile app
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.

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

P20 Pro - Microphone issues

Hello,
I got myself a Huawei P20 Pro and am fairly satisfied with it atm. But there is one issue I have now and that is that apps like Line, Teamspeak 3 and even the phone app is using the wrong microphone when using a Bluetooth headset or even an USB C -> 3,5 mm headset.
One thing that I do remember now that I am writing this, is that I have Boldbeast Recorder installed, which is a call recording app. But I never had these issues with my Samsung S7 Edge.
Anyone else having similar issues?
Update;
I made a call earlier today and had these issues, but using the handset itself. But after a while even calling seems to not be working.
I did a quick reboot and now, huzzaa, everything works again...
I have Huawei P20 Pro and I use Boldbeast call recorder. It works fine with the handset as well as work Bluetooth
Same problems and more....

I have the same problems with my P20 Pro! I can't make calls after a while with apps like messenger och WhatsApp, and after a while even audio when recording video I gone! A restart works for a while but then back to same behavior! This is really bad if they want to compete on the high end market... Hoping for a system update that fixes this ASAP!

Hmm, I think it happens for me whenever I use my Bluetooth headset (Jabra EVOLVE 65 MS). After I stop using it and go back to my USB-C -> 3,5mm headset it has that weird bug again.

For me it all starts working after a reboot :s
I got 3 days more to decide whether to keep it or not :s
So, I ended up returning my phone and got myself a Samnsung S9+ DS....
I am sorry!
I said earlier I don't have problem, but I do have problems with phone calls. The other party cannot hear me well. Maybe it is something to do with using Boldbeast. It records well, but maybe it interferes with phone calls. Can someone confirm this?
I'm regularly having the same issue.. Occasionally the other person at the start of a call can't hear me..
I have only yet encountered the issue with actual phone calls not whatsapp voice calls etc..
So I'm wondering if it's perhaps a VoLTE bug?
Or the only other thing I can think of is that perhaps the USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter plays around with the audio pipeline and doesn't reset.. Just speculation
Microphone error
Same to me here... Is there any solution? My friend can't hear me at all on the phone call... But when I playing PUBG with microphone enable they said my voice just like cartoon....
Private space is the key. I guess
Switching to private space.. ans switching back.. make u lose mic in calls.
I am sure of that.
There seems to be a few causes
Potentially:
1/ going into private space
2/ after using usb-c headphone adapter
3/ after using Bluetooth Audio
Still wondering if it's a VoLTE thing or if it also happens with whatsapp during a microphone. If it's only effecting phone calls and not apps that use the microphone that would point to volte or some other part of the call pipeline rather than the general audio pipeline
The only solution I have is to restart the phone.. That works
..
It seems like a firmware issue connected to the mic. Hope this gets resolved soon.
Same issue here.
I tried turning off VoLTE and WIFI calling. No luck.
This is really giving me a hard time. I can't make calls anymore.
People just don't hear me.
Do you guys have the dual SIM version? How many cards installed?
I removed the Sim in slot 1 yesterday and when I slid the tray back in the phone showed an update for the provider settings (and provider apps etc.)
I run the update and restarted the phone. Some provider apps were installed with the update.
--> first call went without problems.
--> maybe 2 SIM cards interfere?
--> maybe the provider update needed to be forced (by removing one of the SIM cards)
--> maybe it was just the reboot.
I'll keep you posted.
4 calls since last post (no restart since).
--> procedure might have done the trick.
Has anyone managed to fix the problem with update?
No more problems?
im having the same problem, i tried restarting and formating the mobile.
Fixes it temporary only.
Do you have two sims installed or just one? Try taking one out if you have two (see above) to trigger a provider update.
Ok, I have two sims in the phone. But now I deny Google permission for the microphone (I don't use "ok Google" to wake up), and never happens again, microphone works fine all the time.
