As the title says, I pushed the sim pin into the mic hole, exerting some pressure before realising it was the wrong hole.
Very careless of me, but the mic works fine, but will it have damaged the waterproofing?
The holes are too close to each other!

Bah-ha-ha-ha done the same thing on my Samsung N10+. The phone should a wrong hole warning
Likely there is no damage as they probably have a false stop that shields the core components as do Samsung's. They know it's going to happen.

My FInd X3 Pro was developing a tiny black dot on the screen, and it was still under warranty with days left, so I booked it for repair. The technician was repairing my phone right in front of me, and he poked the wrong hole while ejecting the sim card as well
JerryRigEverything pointed out this issue on one of his YouTube videos.. and he tried it on various brand of phones, and all of them were safe after the microphone hole was violated by sim card ejector tool.
All of the manufacturers tested on the video designed the actual waterproofing mesh and microphone itself on top or bottom, perpendicular to the shaft, not at the end of the shaft. Some manufacturers even made the shaft gets smaller so the ejector tool can't get to the very end., but for those which the ejector can make it to the very end, its still safe and the waterproofing membrane still intact.
Oppo wasn't one of the phones tested, but OnePlus was, and I can't imagine Oppo is doing things differently.
Thanks for the replies, slightly reassured by the OnePlus test in the video, but I guess the only real way of knowing is to dunk the phone in water.
As I had no plans to submerge it anyway, I don't think I'm that brave to try it at the moment, just in case OnePlus and oppo are built differently
Just for anyone else who does the same thing, I spoke to oppo support, who would only say if the microphone is still working, then it should still be waterproof.
So fingers crossed!
The "tunnel" is at the 90° so everything should be fine

So I'm in the process of replacing the ear piece speaker. It has always acted up but finally completely went out when I dropped the phone today. Tore the phone apart and pulled the bad one out, and put it back together, so for the time being it's a phone with no speaker, but strangely now the rear camera doesn't work either.
So I'm curious, maybe I still don't have the ribbon cable from the camera seated correctly. But do you think maybe the camera and speaker are on the same circuit and without the speaker in there the camera won't work?
The ear piece not working can usually be fixed by bending the metal pins. I've managed to fix3 Droid's this way. that being said, I don't think the camera has anything to do with the ear piece.
Check if you've inserted the ribbon properly. The ribbon goes in pretty deep. It's easy to make a mistake when connecting the ribbon.
You wouldn't have some instructions for that procedure, do you? Or is there an iFixit video? Have the same problem with the speaker.

Bumping this old thread in the event that someone in the future finds it useful. Obviously, replacing the speaker will VOID YOUR WARRANTY in every way possible, and if you're not careful will ruin your phone! But, if you're like me, your D4 is long out of warranty and it'll be a cold day in hell before you give up your keyboard.
That being said, I just replaced the speaker in my D4, after the stock speaker fizzled and died after almost 2 years. Every now and then it would "fuzz out" and I'd gently tap the phone against my head (which I'm sure looked quite comical) and it would stop. Finally the speaker gave up the ghost entirely and it was nearly impossible to hear. I used resources from this site to guide me in taking it apart.
You'll need a torx T5 and T3 driver - DO NOT try to use any substitute drivers if you don't have an official T5 or T3, like I did - you will strip the screws (they strip VERY easily) and you'll need to bust out the dremel to drill/grind away the screw, or buy a whole new LCD/digitizer assembly for $~70 (which, as of this posting, are getting harder to find). You might think that you can fudge it with an eyeglass repair flathead driver, but you can't. Trust me. T3 and T5 drivers are cheap online, do it right.
For the actual replacement speaker itself, I got a speaker for a Nokia Lumia 610 on ebay for about 4 bucks (free shipping!). It's almost identical to the stock D4 speaker, but it looks to be a little better quality and the actual place where noise comes out looks to be ever so slightly bigger. It "sits" in a little pocket in the outer housing/screen digitizer, held in place by the flex cable. You'll see once you get there.
Make sure both the dual snap connector that connects the mainboard to the screen/digitizer is securely fastened, and also make sure that the tiny snap connector that goes from the screen to the digitizer itself is securely fastened as well - this second snap connector is up by the notification LED. I scared myself when I re-assembled everything and my touchscreen didn't respond. Also, when you're working up by the notification LED, there's a small piece of white-ish rubber that sits between the actual LED itself and the little hole where light comes out on the front of the phone. It's crucial that you don't lose this - the LED is a few mm offset from the hole, and this piece of rubber glows and creates the notification light that you see on the front. Without it, no notification light.
Be careful with the mainboard, replacement units are very hard to find and will only get rarer as the D4 ages. It's basically the heart of your phone.
Tweezers and a "safe-open pry tool" (basically a piece of soft plastic to ease apart the pieces of your phone) make this process easier as well.
Another note: there are 2 hidden T5 screws behind the bezel that surrounds the rear camera and flash. When you go to peel this up, you'll probably ruin it - this is poor design IMO, and mostly inevitable. Good news though, replacement camera bezel parts are available online for a few bucks.
All in all, this process isn't difficult, but requires really good light (super bright lamp or headlamp) and will give you a greater appreciation for your phone and how it's both a magical little black box as well as just a collection of shiny bits.
Good luck!!

Listen to him. I learned this the hard way and that is precisely what I had to do. Taking a dremel to my cell phone... I never want to sweat bullets like that again.
So I got my new Z3C and was thinking: what if we can make flaps and audio port more waterproof?
Doing pressure sensor test I get reading around 1000 and it's increasing by about 30-40 when I press against screen with closed flaps. But it normalizes after 1-2 seconds and goes back to initial reading meaning tiny amount of air escapes. Does it mean my phone is not totally waterproof? Don't know.
Since this phone is just fresh-water proof (meaning no using in pool or sea) and I really want to use it worry-free in all kind of water that I dare to go in myself I really want to improve waterproofness.
I'm not worried about front and back since glass should be all.kind-of-things-proof. This leaves sd card and sim card covers, audio jack, mic holes and speakers.
So what I thought of was to "grease" flaps' rubber o-rings with rubber compatible oil/grease to make better contact with phone body or use some kind of silicone spread around rubber contact area before closing flaps to have semi-permanent seal and be still able to open and scrub extra stuff off without doing much damage.
For audio jack I thought to make some kind of plug - like pressy button but with a bit bigger "head" that has soft sticky rubber underneath so when pressed in it makes a seal with the edge of audio jack or even plug that is covered with silicone all the way.
Speakers and mic holes could be protected with bits of strong adhesive tape - it's easy to get sticky stuff off the glass and it'll be possible to hear some sound even with speakers covered. Not sure about mic holes because side plastic has matte finish but some strong adhesive should still stick?
So the question - has anyone tried something remotely related? Is it thinkable? Have I missed anything important? What materials (grease, silicone) should I use?
If anyone has done something similar? Probably... But no one ever posted about it on this forum. You can use the phone in the sea and swimming pool, as long as you rinse the phone afterwards. As for modifying the phone, I wouldn't do it. It might cause you to lose your warranty.
In terms of waterproofing the phone even more, I'd look at waterproof cases made for other phones with almost similar dimensions and see if you can do something about the case instead.

Plenty of stories of people going in the water, damaging their phone and fighting with sony about warranty.
It's hardly modifying, adhesive sticker on glass is easily removed and thin film of silicone should be also easily removable.

That's the option. But I haven't seen any slim waterproof case that could be comfortably used all the time.
Anyway, curiosity is strong and I'll most likely try different options.
PS. can someone test pressure sensor - is reading staying high when screen is pressed or it fades back to normal with all covers closed?
I've just used mine in pool all weekends since I bought it without any issue and even without afraid of doing that! The same with my wife's Z1!
And I'm contantly opening/closing its usb port due my xposed modules development (debugging purposes)! Maybe some unlucky day I will screw it... who knows!
Ofc we always need to be sure all ports are properly closed before going to have fun!

Sorry, I forgot about the pressure sensor part, it's normal that the numbers go back to normal after you lifted your finger, it works like that for everyone.
If my mind serves me right, I've seen Sony ads with the Z3C being thrown in a pool or something similar, so a pool really shouldn't be a problem. And yes of course people will have to fight for their cause at Sony, they won't just put any phone under warranty, else people would exploit that.

I probably expressed myself bit vaguely. Thing is that pressure reading on my phone returns back to normal WHILE HOLDING screen under pressure. Initially pressing screen creates greater pressure inside the phone, reading rises but air escapes quite quickly (1-2seconds) and pressure reading normalises. After releasing finger screen pressure sensor shows lower readings for a second until extra air seeps inside to equalise pressure again.
Hope it's clear enough.
Also, does it mean that I got less waterproof phone that it should be?
I dunno about you but i've been using my camera in the pool for a while now and even for hours at times

Dear friends
Just gotten my new S7 edge and instead of putting the pin to the SIM card
hole I putted in the microphone hole :crying:
Do you believe I have damaged the microphone ? And can this been repair ?
I tried to ask if calling somebody and closing the down microphone he hear me
and he mention that my voice was far away and with interruptions .
Any advise and help :crying:

I almost did that earlier today when swapping the sim from my 6P to the S7E (I change between the two phones often). Samsung should have put the sim tray on the side to avoid that, or made the mic hole a different size the tool wouldn't fit in it.

I did the same thing but it didn't seem to affect anything. I haven't tested the mic specifically but I ran it underwater and my phone didn't fry so I assume if it still is water resistant there was no way I could have destroyed the underlying mic or its protective water resistant barrier. When I first did it I found a post mentioning that the top mic on most phones is in the shape of an L, so if this is true, then all you were doing was stabbing the housing but there is no way to physically stab the mic with a simple pin insertion. Either way I have 14 days so if I did stab it and destroy the contents, ill exchange it.

sorry to pop the discussion up, but today I did the same thing (pin the mic hole instead of the sim tray), but I felt something moving inside while I was pushing..that happened to you too?

I didn't notice anything moving around in there after I did it. I haven't noticed any major side effects thus far so I am going to assume it didn't damage anything considering the mic still works as well as the waterproofing. If something is moving then I would be nervous to try it underwater, but if you have insurance I'd test it and have it replaced if it isn't waterproof anymore.

Thanks for the reply, I meant, when I pushed the clip inside the mic, I felt something "going away" down the hole, maybe some kind of seal? Goretex layer? I was wondering if you felt the same when you pushed the first time inside that hole (lol it seems naughty).
I don't have an insurance so I can't try if it fries or not under the water

It's been a while now, but I don't recall noticing anything move as I pressed it in either. It felt like the sim ejector port that I thought it was until I realized nothing was popping out. I pressed firmly but not forcefully, so if I didn't break anything then I bet you didn't either, but I could be wrong since I don't actually know what is going on in that mic hole.
The best thing to do would be to ask for an exchange within the 14 day return period.
This says it's not harmful on most phones: https://youtu.be/85p_oFk595I?t=236
So when activating the phone, I foolishly followed the Verizon tech's advice to poke the sim tool in both holes in the top. Doing my research post-activation, I see that I poked the tool into the mic.
Likely damage? There are two mics, but the one on top surely has a slightly different purpose. How can I verify if I did any damage?
LOL - I see a ton of posts on this site and reddit with people that have done the same thing. Still would love to know what the top mic is for and ideas for testing for damage.
Likely candidates for damage are "waterproofing", the mic itself, fabric, etc.
If my eyesight and the light were better I'd have noticed the outline of the tray, but couldn't see it. I should know better than to listen to a phone tech for advice like that.

Noise cancelation, most likely. As to testing for damage, that may prove difficult.
Mostly, those mics aren't directly behind the hole in the frame. They're mounted on top of the PCB and a 90° plastic tube is glued on them to prevent dust, sand and poking derps to damage the microphones. I don't know how Samsung did this in the S10 series.
Testing noise reduction microphones isn't possible directly, just when in use. They're not used by Android, they're used by the actual sound driver and can't be controlled directly via the OS.
Jerryrigeverything did a video on this (in a video he talked about it not a full video on it) the phone is designed for people who do this and it doesn't have any effect. The top mic is probably used for both noise canceling and when you are in a loud environment and have your hand covering the bottom of your phone (like a concert)
If it was my phone and I had done this specifically at the direction of a Verizon representative and it could be verified phone was damaged as a result, I would be trying to get them to replace phone. A tech uninformed enough to suggest a stupid move like this will probably lie and say they never instructed you to do this. Maybe poking tech in wrong hole would be fitting revenge.
LMAO.. i did that to my wife and she liked it.

If Verizon had actually sold me the phone, I'd consider it. But since I bought it directly from Samsung (it was a $300 off deal!) I don't believe I'd end up with a replacement. The first thing I have to get over is feeling so stupid. I had read something somewhere about dual sim slots - probably on some future phone - and because of the symmetry thought that there were two of them.

It makes sense they would design the phone to prevent such a common mistake. Why design two identical holes in the top where one opens the tray and one destroys a mic? Reminds me of a Dilbert strip. Thanks for the assurance. It helps ease that worried feel.

Wrong hole compilation

Wow, this is why there are 2 mics, one on bottom, one on top...It is simply for STEREO sound during video recording.
I did this on the bottom hole ?
But seriously I worry now about waterproof. I tested the mic by recording a video in landscape talking in stereo in both mics and playback sounded fine.
Nope. The top microphone is for noise cancellation during a phone conversation on speaker. Your other party will hear a lot of uncancelled background noise.

While distracted, I used a sewing needle to try to open the sim card port and accidentally jammed it in the hole by the charging port!

So checking out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHzmFPoZbCA&feature=youtu.be&t=293
It looks like I ran into a metal box looking thing on the mother board (I think that is what I was pressing depressingly firmly into trying to get the sim tray to open.) . IO think that is the mic chip, but not the opening? So did I bump that, but not damage waterproofing and not damage the mic?
I just do not know what I was stressing and if I should worry. I was using a sharp needle, but I do not think i punctured anything!
Galaxy S21 series design flaw leaves a lot of room for user error
Samsung's new Galaxy S21 series, and especially the Galaxy S21 Ultra, is shaping up to be a great addition to ...
www.sammobile.com
" Samsung has relocated the SIM card tray with the Galaxy S21 series and this component can now be found at the bottom edge, right next to the microphone. As usual, the SIM tray can be ejected by inserting a SIM ejector tool into a tiny round hole, and it so happens that this orifice is millimeters away from the microphone, with both having roughly the same diameter. "
...open the link above for more.
Brilliant. That's going to make for a rude surprise.
The mic is not going to break, do you really think they didn't think of that?
The mic is not in the way of the actual hole..
After 4:50 here you see how flat the mic actually is.
I did put it in the wrong hole lol...
You can see the outline of the sim card tray so didn't have this issue, also the back protection cover when you first take it out the box very specifically says where which hole to push - so hopefully not many will have any kind of issue.
"Pete always seems to get off at the wrong stop..."
Whew. I thought that this was way more of a problem than it actually is. I was thinking that you have to be very careful when inserting the SIM tray back into your phone! But after reading this, no no, you just have to put the SIM tray removal pin into the SIM tray hole instead of ramming it through your phone's microphone lol. No problems at all, thankfully.
So I suppose that all of the people breaking their microphones aren't even looking at the bright labels that say exactly where to NOT place your SIM tray removal pin, haha.

On my 10+ there were no labels straight out of the factory sealed box. I actually had two new units because of problems with the first one.
I almost made that mistake but noticed my aim was off.
Samsung really put it in harm's way as with no case you're likely to put the phone on a flat surface. Depending on the angle and lighting unless you're specifically looking for that hole you could mess up.
The devil is in the details...
Just imagine, a whole cottage industry based on replacing damage Samsung mics

I guess. But I suppose what I'm trying to say is the fact that people who are messing this up are basically in a very, very similar situation to people who break their toaster ovens due to putting glasses of milk in there to only heat up the liquid. In other words, if you don't know how to do something, read the instructions first and there won't be a problem. And luckily enough, on the S21U specifically, the instructions are literally plastered right on the device lol.
So for me, a similar problem to this one would be me cooking chicken in a new oven at 500°F for 45 minutes and then complaining about the oven company for selling a broken, food-burning product (when in reality, the problem was just due to my personal lack of knowledge and refusal to do any research - which would literally just take one, simple Google search =P ).
But I wuv toaster oven warmed milk... the trick is putting a layer of olive oil on the top.
I received my S21 ultra today, and I am afraid to say I am on of those people who insert pin in wrong hole. Now my question did I just broke the mic or it oky. I tried pretty hard lol.
No, like in all previous samsung phones, engineers have foreseen this issue and prevented this.
There's an engineered design and they have thought of All of the pop tart covered sticky finger kiddos swapping out daily drivers yall.. design features an offset channel and a complete cell-style reverb channel that would take some serious skill and the floppiest, limped out, no viagra style noodle Sim tool that's too depressing to ever exist anyway...
Get a grip, don't make me find and SS the "post durability test" teardown vid where #Jerryrigeverything mentions the "thoughtful and clever" subtleties of the classy way we overlook this type of small eng feats Samsung puts out for us. If u guys ever fell aware of the cooling sectionals insanly engineered thermal efficiency youd die of lawsuit daydreams or sumn idfk
but seriously now all jokes aside those willing to carry this behavior as an acceptable mic issue venture just to waste time!! Big middle to ya, and then last for those misinformed enough to believe this narg or act like they do shame on you...
Samsung deserves betta,, all jokes aside, bc yeah, whew.. stomach hurtin...
It's obviously a little more hilarious than humanly possible Samsung would let this **** happen, this we know... Can we engineer different style jokes maybe some that include a format of a strictly standardized amount of intellectual content, and an age consent barrier.
