Hi
A friend gave me a hermes to upgrade to wm6 hoping that the microphone would work again after the upgrade. Nothing happened, so I think the mic is broken. Are there any chances to change the faulty part by myself and where can I get spare parts?
best regards

On the Wiki you will find the disassembly guide, but changing the mic will require soldering skills

Try looking on ebay for a repair/parts phone. Even in this forum I've seen parts for sale.
hermes mic not working
ooops sorry after a bit of testing I noticed that the mic is working: it is recording but not loud enough ... I have to almost scream to make it hearable in the speaker
I already tried to copy/make a shortcut of setacusticparam in the startup menu but nothing changed and I have half a dozen setacusticparam files in my windows directory which I cannot delete... any other ideas ?

I have a xda II that gives the error, error 36001.100.2 when I start the camera app, Also the sound has gone. I can hear a hiss but no sound, so the speaker is working.
I have hard reset the xda no change. I am about to reinstall the rom. (wating on a new usb cable!)
Rom - 1.60.00wwe
Radio - 1.08.00
I did find one link that suggested taping the phone on the table!, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7880&highlight=camera+36001) and yes I did try this... but still no luck, I would love to have a better understanding what the problem may be. I have dismantled the unit to check the spk connections which are fine.
Thanks for looking over this request for help.
Regards.

upgrade the camera module
I have reloaded the rom, still no good, however. I then removed the camera, module, I noticed some dark marks on 2 contacts.
Once I put the phone back together, the sound now works. So my guess is some water has shorted the camera out.
So my question now is, can I put a different camera from a newer phone in this one?
Hope to hear back some day?
Regards,
Troy
i doubt it they need to be compatible to work
because the protocol they communicate with need to be the same
Thanks for that Rudegar, I kind of wondered.
Do you have any idea if you can still get this kind of part still?
And if so where?
Thanks again for your comments.
sorry i know nothing of spareparts

Hi I am Ben from Singapore, I faced the same problem as Troy. Can advise how to upgrade the camera module. I am very new to O2 XDA. Pls Help

Try to disable all programs, and try it again. Had these problems b4 and noticed some aftermarkets program crash with my XDA2 camera feature.
Today the sound on my phone has stopped completely. Works through the headphones and bluetooth but nothing through the speakers and the mic doesn't work. Tired rebooting, hard resetting etc to no avail.
Does anyone know if this is fixable please?
--update--
Just threw the phone to the ground several times in sheer frustration and the sound is back perfectly. I'd still like to understand what caused it for future reference in case it happens again. thanks.

Sorry, I don't know what contact spray is. Does it have a brand name and where do you get it, how do you use it and do I need to take my phone apart? Yes, the problem's back. Thanks

Hi,
I've got Kaiser and a default car mount. The problem is (couldn't find it here, sorry if discussed earlier) that in 80% cases I press green or red button while taking it out / puting it into the holder. It is just constructed this way which annoys me really, especially when somebody calls you and you drop his call.
Anybody has the same problem? The only solution that comes to my mind is somehow piling or cuttin the holder a bit...
I bought something similar to this:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8144075
at wal-mart to use for my tilt. works REALLY well w/ no hassle.

Great way to start out here at XDA. Try using the correct forum and dont post this irrelevant junk in threads.
Anyway, I have one similar to http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8144075
and It works great. I think i paid a tad more but not much more.
I've got the same issue here. its a trade off of having a secure mount I guess...
Personally don't trust mounts that simply hold the phone it by their sides.
I seem to have a problem with my HTC Touch (ELF)
I recently upgraded to another phone (diamond) and was giving my Touch to my brother.
After leaving it unused for a couple of weeks, I got round to flashing a new rom onto the phone (Blue Elves 5)
I gave the phone to my brother (without testing anything I didn't have time).
He then told me that there is a problem with the sound - nothing is heard at all via the earpiece during calls, however it works fine from the external loudspeaker.
I guessed that it may be that the rom didn't install properly so I talked him through a hard reset - no joy. Still no sound.
I have today installed another ROM - PDAVIET - latest version, and flashed the radio to the latest version. The problem is still there.
My brother insists that he has not dropped / knocked the phone at all, and I don't doubt him. I am however at a complete loss as to why all of a sudden there is no sound from the earpiece. I have used the phone for a year, with various different ROMs and never had any loss of or distorted sound from the earpiece.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be? How can I fix this?
Any help very much appreciated!
(Also - yes - the volume is turned up)
I think you better read this

let me no how you get on
thanks but this doesn't help as my warranty and contract are ended. any other ideas welcome.
thanks.
Could this be a problem with the registry? would flashing ROMs fix the registry? Is there a registry setting for disabling the speaker?
I have the exact same problem. Let me know if you find a solution please !
I think you guys need this:

I have the same problem, but I did prefer to use the speaker anyway. So now I use this:

Works fine on the Elf!

Thank you 'thedaddy'.
You were right. I disassembled the phone and found that one of the copper connections of the earpiece speaker had broken. Bought a replacement from eBay which fixed the problem.
Thank you.

My pleasure mate glad you got ur baby working again,
and its 'thedaddyy'.......
I had the exact same problem
I had to buy an earpeace speaker for my touch on ebay for about US$15.
Look it up on ebay, and they are really easy to replace.
Look for the hong kong guys that ship it with the tools to get the job done.
Good Luck.
Good day,
I just have bought an Motorola Bravo phone of the ebay and it has one strange issue.
When I call to someone they can't hear me, but if I turn on speaker, they hear me fine.
What could be the cause of the problem ? I have dissasembled the phone and saw that the microphone is not replacable ( it is soldered to the mainboard )
Can you guys help me ? Thanks.
Also the android version is 2.3.4 with non working camera (dunno the rom name)
Did you try a factory reset?
I would not bother flashing stock since doing that would give the seller grounds to deny your refund claim
Just contact the seller and return the phone. I think ebay covers all your purchases including shipping charges.
Too late, I just have flashed stock 2.2.1 rom with RSD Lite and the problem is still there.
But I do not get why there is totally no voice when I speak but when I turn on speaker everything is fine. Is it really hardware fault ?
/update
Tried factory reset, nothing.
Also after reflashing to stock rom I did notice that the kernel version is still the same. Maybe thats the cause of the fault ? before there was strange chinese rom in my bravo, I thouht it messed up microphone and stuff
If you flashed a stock 2.2.1 and it didn't fix it then I think it would have to be a hardware problem... unfortunately it sounds like someone tried to unload a messed up phone on you, hope you didn't pay to much for it.

But one thing I do not understand, clearly there is only one microphone in this phone, I have disassembled it, but one sure thing I can not understand, WHY MIC WORKS WHEN THE SPEAKER PHONE FUNCTION IS TURNED ON DURING THE CALL ? It works flawlessly, but if you turn in off, no sound at all at the other end.
What part of the phone software is responsible for hardware ? Is it Kernel ?
Thanks for answers guys.
I agree that its really weird... I honestly am not the best person to advise you on this particular subject I don't know much about the hardware on this phone besides specs... so if you don't get any good help on this forum (we have low dev activity) you could try a more general and active forum.

Did you solve your problem?
I have a similar problem, I can be heard good only when I speak over bluetooth.
Hey mate.
Finally I found out that Motorola Bravo has TWO microphones, one for calls, other is on the back near the camera and it is used for video recording/speaker during call.
So I think I have faulty microphone. But not 100% sure. Still dunno which part of software drives hardware, specifically microphones.
Anyways I receive no answers to this problem. So generally I think my front microphone does not work but the rear one works perfectly.
So maybe there is a way to change the usage of the microphone during the call ?
That the rear microphone would be used and not the front one.
Cause some recording apps let me do this like "TapeMachine Recorder"
