I was wondering if anyone familiar with the Dream hardware knew if it was possible to replace the mic, and where I might buy one. For no reason that I can determine, my outgoing volume is suddenly 10% of what it used to be. I've tried multiple ROM's but the issue persists. Currently running Amon_RA 1.5.2, Danger SPL, Cyanogen 4.2.12.2 if anybody has a software solution I haven't thought of feel free to chime in as well.
Thanks
did you try using the head phones that came with the g1?
?? I can hear people fine, they can't hear me.
the headphones that came with the g1 have a microphone, and headphones that you can plug into the microphone
Good to know, unfortunately I don't have those headphones. Bought the phone off Craigslist. Worked fine for about 6 months before this happened to me. Maybe I'll see if I can find the headphones on the web somewhere.
Hi.
The problem is that when making or receiving phone calls, no audio can be heard (audio is sent fine) - unless the speakerphone is enabled.
This problem appeared randomly at some point after it had been running a custom WM6.5 build for some time.
The exact same problem is now persisting under ANDROID.
Is this most likely a broken speaker or a software fixable issue?
I'm using the latest available radio and HARD SPL.
Anyone know a way to enable the speakerphone mode by default under ANDROID?
BUMP
I've read in some threads that certain HTC phones have a problem where the USB port thinks that a USB headphone is plugged in and then disables the regular audio, seems the only remedy is jiggling the port which hasn't helped for me..
Is this the problem with my Kaiser?
Any fix or workaround, or at least software hack in Android to make the speakerphone default then
bump!
..........
Have you hard reset or reflash?
I have hard reset and flashed different OS -
The problem 'appeared' after it was running fine for a long period of time though (with no configuration changes) - so I think that perhaps the problem lies with the mini usb jack as noted in post #2 - but i may be wrong?

I have same problem which makes very MAD Did you fixed that already? any tips how to solve or even tutorial?
Up.
The same problem with HTC Desire HD on a stock Android ROM 2.3.5 (no custom ROMS tried on this phone yet). Any idea? Any help?
A week ago I updated my Xperia Z (6603) to lollipop from android 4.2.2. After this update every seemed to work well except for the speaker that all of a sudden didn't work anymore. At first I feared a hardware fault but then i noticed a notification from Smart Connect saying that the headphones where connected except they weren't. This explained a lot since the phone was indeed acting as is there were headphones connected. After this discovery I tried a lot of solutions I found on the internet.
I tried to plug in and plug out my headphones.
I rebooted the device.
I downloaded the app Sound About, it worked but it would mean that I will forever need to change the setting in the app if I wanted to listen to music on my headphones or over the speakers.
I fiddled in the headphone jack with a toothpick (??)
I reflashed the Lollipop firmware and tried different regions.
After that I tried reflashing every Sony Firmware that I found on the internet. I found out that when I reflashed to the first Android 4.1 Firmware that my speakers started working again. Giving me hope that this was indeed a Software problem and not a Hardware failure (since my warranty has ran out this March). After that I flashed Android 4.2.2 and everything was still all right. But then when I flashed to android 4.3 and it resulted in my original problem. And the same with Android 4.4.4 and ofcourse 5.0.
After I week I'm getting quite desperate since I now need to carry my headphones around for if someone calls me. Another problem is that I can't downgrade to 4.2.2 since last week I also bought an Android Wear device and I need at least 4.3 to be able to use it. So I was hoping that maybe some of you guys know if this is a commonly known problem. So if you are familiar with this problem and are able to help please post your solution below. I'd be extremely greatfull!
edit: To be more precise, it all goes goes wrong with Firmware 10.4.1.B.0.101.
I have updated my firmware to 5.0.2 about 5 days ago. It all goes fine until now, not experiencing any of your problem eventhough with KitKat Firmware 10.5.1.A.0.230 or Jellybean 10.4.1.B.0.101.
FYI because I've unlocked my bootloader and can't received OTA or PC companion update, so I download and flash the FTF using Sony Flash Tools.
Have you tried C6603_10.6.1.A.0.454_HK.ftf version? It works just fine for me.
And let me know whether your bootloader unlocked or locked.
==================================================================
Device = Xperia Z C6602
Firmware = Lolipop 10.6.A.0.454
Bootloader = Unlocked
Rooted = Yes
Thanks for the reply, I did try that firmware but sadly it didn't work for me. And my bootloader is still locked. Does that matter? It also tried updating OTA or Sony's PC Companion but both with similar results.

Since your bootloader still locked, unlocking it will lost your TA partition (can't use bravia engine on album). I've lost it because I don't backup the TA. So, if you plan for unlocking it, be sure backup your TA.
Don't know what to say, because Mine work just fine. But I believe that was Software fault because you've said that just fine on earlier Firmware and THE MOST IMPORTANT it's work with Sound About. Glad you still can use your Speaker although kinda annoying for keep changing the setting to swap between speaker and headset. I'll try to work around to find any way out for your problem.

A headset contains microphone but a headphone doesnt.
just insert the headset but dont pust it hard leave a little space. If you see headphone icon and not headset icon play any music. When music is currently playing and you hear sound on the headset just push the jack hard to lock. The headphone icon must still be a headphone icon. If it change to headset(thats the icon with microphone) icon repeat the process....if you insert jack on phone directly and push hard to lock , you will see a headset icon, in this setting you can never hear music.
this is a mystery bug in xperia z NEVER been fixed. i also have this problem yet i gave up already .. im running custom rom Lineage OS 14.1 nighties still have this issue.
There is no solution am afraid its been 2 years am facing this problem and use sound about to change to speaker or headphone
my friend had this problem before but he fixed it by changing that thing where you plug the headphones .
Hello Guys,
I been searching alot in the forum and I can't seems to find a solution for this yet. Maybe I got too confuse after reading some threads here.
nevertheless, I just wanted to make sure that my external Microphone would work with the 3.5mm Audio input jack. I have tested the same mic with the correct cable and it works with my 1Plus5T / Samsung Note8 how ever no luck with the K20Pro.
Do I need to root the phone and use Magisk to fix this issue?
I am currently on INDIA Raphaline rom 10.3.5 I believe
please don't shot me guys.
Cheers

I just received my Mi 9T Pro a few days ago and was researching this. Don't have a mic yet so haven't been able to try it. I guess evidently it will work with Open Camera as there's a setting for that. But I'm trying to see if it works with Gcam mods. I found this video but it's for the Gcam stock app. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cNyep1vADY Please let us know if you find anything.

Just got my Mi 9T Pro a week ago and just bought a mic the other day but haven't had a chance to try it yet. I'll let you know. I think Open Camera has a setting for external mics. Gcam has a setting that pops up when a mic is inserted, but that's the stock software. Not sure if Gcam mods do. See above for video link.
Just saw this article that says an external mic won't work. Not sure how accurate it is. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com...ortant-video-feature/articleshow/70339311.cms
Same issue here. Discord with an external mic is not working, but in the miui recorder app it is. Did you try that?
I'm pretty sure its a MIUI bug since one year ago the poco f1 had exactly the same issue and it got fixed via update.

Yep. I tried in the recorder app. the external mic doesn't record. complete silence on playback.
My main problem is when i'm using headphones in a call...the other person can't hear me.

Sorry for the confusion. So my phone Mic is fine. When i plug in my headphones ( Samsung akg s8 ones with a external mic), the phone detects the headphones with external mic but the mic on the headphones doesn't work but I can hear music, voice calls through my headphones. Just the other person can't hear me through the headphone mic. Tried with the recorder app etc. The mic on the headphone doesn't work
I have tried 2 samsung headphones and 1 apple headphones. All with the same issue.
Tried all the headphones on another phone and all the headphones and mic work perfectly.
Does it need specific xiaomi mi headphones to work or something?

No, definitely not. Mine is some old one from oppo find 7, I think.
Thats weird that it doesn't work for you in the recorder app though, cause for me it does. Its just voicechat applications like discord for example which don't work.. and it really annoys me.
We should definitely report it to xiaomi via the feedback section at the bottom of the settings.
edit: seems like it is a known issue already

I have been hearing different views from various folks on this forum. I have the Indian version of the K20Pro and i can confirm that the mic of an external headset (earphones or headphones) does not work. I can however listen to music and also hear the opposite person talk where i receive a call. However the opposite person cannot hear me - which is indicative that the mic does not work (or there is an issue)
On the positive side though, i flashed Revolution OS and this problem seems to have been fixed. I can now use any earphones (or headphones) to take calls and the opposite person can now hear me. I am doing an entirely clean flash (fastboot) now to check if that works on the latest Indian version too.

I suspect it is an issue with the global firmware. If may want to try some of the Chinese ones to see if that has solved this issue as most of the custom ROMs are based on the Chinese FW
Edit:
I have been running Custom MIUI with Chinese FW so far. Just did a clean fastboot of the indian version 10.3.5.0 and guess what - the mic works for calls!! Very strange as it definately did not work for me out of the box

Did you do a factory reset or something? I'm not very familiar with rooting and running fastboot so i dont feel comfortable flashing any firmwares. I'm a noob. i know :laugh:
Some feedback, but probably not what you want to hear:
Had a similar problem with Signal - old headset worked fine on HTC-U11+ stock, on the K20 pro there was no microphone (callee said no sound at all) even though headset with mic was detected. A temporary solution was to partially pull out the plug which caused the K20P to show headphones only headset connected and I guess it used the phone mic.
However I purchased a Xiaomi headset which worked fine from the start, detecting headset with microphone and callee said mic quality was much better. Seems they may have pulled an Apple move and used non-standard pin connectors
Currently on 9.9.6 Xiaomi.eu ROM, K20Pro CN version (purchased in China) 8/128Gb version.

For me it was Signal which was not working with the external headset mic, but then worked perfectly when I used the Xiaomi one. (not an advert, yet I really do like the Xiaomi headset (in-ear) and I am not unhappy that I purchsed it)
Also, and its been a long while since I had the Find 5, I seem to vaguely recall there was similar issues with headsets & micrphones on the early Find phones - maybe Xiaomi and Oppo use the same jack supplier?
Hi,
Recently i flashed 1910.44 rom and rooted it. then after then my ROG phone 2 is not auto-detecting when the headphone/earphone plugged in into 3.5mm jack.
There is no problem of the jack, or the earphone. As I can use the earphone/headphone using Lesser Audio Switch app which can be used to manually switch/route the audio to the headphone or phone speaker.
I tried to re-flashed the rom and it still have the same issue, so I want to ask whether there is a way to fix this issue so the phone can automatically detect when headphone/earphone plugged in via 3.5mm jack?
Thank you.
Same problem here, it's rooted and unlocked. Android 9 lastest version. No twrp.
I had this issue before and solve it by flashing full RAW ROM, the main reason because I flashed update IMG only
This is a known issue with the EDL unlock method. There's a post near page 2 about it.
