Audio jack or Speaker problem..

hi all..i have problem with my Xperia which is Earphone icon always appear even i didnt used earphone..this problem make my phone doesnt have ringtone and only can accept call if using earphone..anyone have suggestion to overcome this problem..or does anyone know how to disable the audio jack?..i already task29,using original ROM and used many other ROM in order to repair this thing..but didnt have any luck..thanks for any kind help..

It sounds like your audio jack is jammed. I suggest you start playing music through your usual media player and carefully insert a very fine screwdriver or similar into the audio jack. Wiggle it lightly until the music starts playing through the speaker.

thanks for that but still no luck

Just had the same problem and managed to solve it. take a torch light, look into the audio jack, the outer most metal connector has been depressed. use alcohol on cotton bud to clean the connector, then use a needle to lift up the outer most metal.

[How to] Fix mic not working

First of all, try sucking on the mic holes.
Suck the top mic if mic is not working in portrait orientation or suck the right mic if it is not working in landscape.
It seems that the different mic is used when in different orientation. (Portrait => Top mic, Landscape => right mic)
Secondly, it sounds stupid but make sure nothing is obstructing both the mic holes.
If it doesn't work;
1. Pry open the back of the cover. Start from the top left or right corner. Should come off easily with fingernails.
2. Depends on which orientation when the mic doesn't work, pull off the rubber thing so that you can access the inside hole.
3. Take any clean brush and brush the hole thoroughly.
Taking off the back cover doesn't void the warranty but taking off the rubber for the mic might void the warranty.
No problem in recording quality after removing the rubber.

Where is the MIC?

Usually MIC is on the bottom side of a phone, but i don't see any microphone hole. Up there is one for recording but I can't find where MIC for calling exists.

There is a hole at the bottom.. Mic is connected to a main cable flex at the bottom of the phone.

Xperia Z3 compact microphone hardware problem

Hello all,
So the main microphone of my z3 compact came off the motherboard along with the solder pads. Now i can see a tiny little metal connection exposed on all the 4 pads. I ordered a microphone, soldered it back on the board, but failed all microphone diagnostic and service menu tests. I de soldered the mic again, to see if the contact were lose. While removing the mic, i could see that one of the two pins of mic on the motherboard are shorted, unfortunately the little track came off as well. Anyway, i soldered the same mic again on the board (using a hot air blower), shorted the two pins on the mic, but it still does not work. Now my questions:
1. While testing the microphone, i might not have connected the headphone flex connector to the motherboard. Is the primary microphone somehow routed through the flex connector of the headphone jack?
2. Where is the secondary microphone?
3. Any work arounds, if i cannot solder the mic back on? Can the connections be bypassed somehow with jumper cables etc?
Any advice will be much appreciated. I just dont want to get rid of the phone.

Is the microphone located on the USB charging board?

I think I damaged my mic trying to clean it with an old tooth brush and some alcohol, I recorded some voice notes to test it an it sounds crackly, buzzy and barely picks up my voice. Now I'm looking for a replacement and don't know if the microphone is located on the USB charging board or should I replace the speaker. The speaker works fine, but I don't kwon where the mic is located.
I would be grateful if someone could tell me
