my microphone is FAR TO QUIET :(

i went to use my vodafone VPA (working fine for last few months) for a phone call, and the person i was calling couldnt hear anything - bad line i thought.
then i called back and the same...
then my house fone... the same, and when i record a video or voice note, if i shout into the microphone and play it back at max volume, i can just about make out what i'm saying...
any idea's on how i can fix this? i've tried a hard reset, and taken the phone apart to see if its anything obvious (there isn't) i've also tried enabling/disabling microphone AGC - no avail
Dave

no help at all?

i have the same problem with my imate jam initially i thought it might be a software problem so i reflashed it with the origional Imate Rom and so now differance i played with all the settings i could find to no avail and finaly gave up
since my jam was still within its warranty period i gave it in for fixing i should be getting it back anyday now and if i can find out what they did with it i will definetly post it here

Just talked to the guy i gave my phone to today he said tht he tried changing the microphone part but it still had the same problem it seems that there is some problem with an IC ( whatever that is) and he has more chances of killing it totally then actually fixing it if he tries to change it

[Q] Microphone does not work (in part)

Hello everyone !
I have a really annoying problem since last year, when i root my device for the first time.
The microphone doesn't work in applications who needs it. I can't record my voice, use Google voice Recognition....
If i call someone, the caller can not hear me unless I activate the speaker phone mode.
It's a very strange problem
I have tested every custom and stock roms, no results.
Maybe there are a adjustment to do ( in *#*#197328640#*#* ) ?
Please help me
thanks,
abeilard14

Up.. it's a pretty annoying problem

just say me if it is a hardware or logicial problem if you know, please

If it appears with different ROMs it's probably a hardware-problem.
But I can't see any connection between breaking your mic and rooting your phone.

Yes, but it's strange that the mic works only when i activate the speaker phone mode during call.
It is not completely broken apparently !
may be a setting to change somewhere . . .

No sound at all

Hello!!!
I have a big problem with my omnia 7
From one moment to the other I have no sound: no ring tone, no alarm...
All the rest works ok.
I allready tryed severall roms stock and cooked and the problem remains.
Any sugestion?
Anyone have the stock rom for swiss orange?
Thanks

I am having the sma problem with my omnia 7. All of a sudden I lost the ring, message, alarm sounds. Other than that the phone is working normally. And also if I plug in a headset, i can hear the sound fine.
When I searched the internet some of the options for this problem are:
1. Headphone slot could be stuck somehow and so the phone thinks there is a headphone attached. Solution is to try to plug in and out a headphone jack in to the slot several times to try to loosen the slot. Didnt work for me.
2. I read in one post that a hard reset solved the problem. Didnt tried it yet, I dont want to setup the phone from the scratch. That will be my last option.
3. Somewhere I read about people going in to the diagnostic mode and adjust some audio properties like audio gain, speaker output vs. I am not sure if that will solve the problem.
4. Some suggest to send the phone to samsung for a repair. That is not an option for me, as omnia 7 is not officially sold in my country (Turkey) so there is no support for it.
I am still searching the internet for a solution, and will appreciate if anyone can up with one.
Thanks

Problem solved
I found a solution for this problem and posted it in another similar post. I am writing the same information here.
I was playing with some diagnostic codes from a website I found on the internet, I noticed there is a "Melody Test\Test External and Internal Speaker" which you can access by typing *#0289# while inside the diagnostic mode. While inside this melody test application I pressed the option 1. Speaker [L-R] ON and option 2. Receiver ON. I dont know which option did it but suddenly a ring tone started coming from the speaker.
I closed the diagnostic app and return to the main menu and now my ringtones, game sounds start working. Hopefully this will be a real solution not a temporary one.
Note:if it not listed in the app list, to get in to the diagnostic mode press ##634# from the phone pad.
Also note: I tried to post the link of the page which contains all the diagnostic codes of omnia but the xda forum would not allow me to post a link outside because I am a new user. The page i found was on wp7forum website

Thank you. Im gonna try.

Well...I tried your sugestions and only the 3rd worked. (after typing *#0289#, 2. Receiver ON)
But I have sound just until a new resart, then sound is gonne!!!
and with you?

You are right, after the restart the sound is gone for me too.
And also as "mrtnz" in an other similar thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546374) mentioned, probably this solution does not exactly activate the speaker on the back but re-routes all music and such to the front speaker ("ear piece")
I though this might be the solution, but apparently not.

Need help .... After i have discharged my Omnia 7 , All Sounds are gone , my mic is not working too !!!!
Any hint what it could be ?

Speaker fine - but no sound ?
Likewise ; my Omnia 7 does not give out a ring tone/sound.
I took it in to get a new speaker ; but when fitted, problem remains.
I can hear sound with earphones - but nothing externally -
I was told if I download an update ; it may fix the problem ?
The only theory the shop could give was that I had began an update when the battery was about flat ;
and somehow this may deactivate the external speaker/sound.
Thanks for the suggestion 'junior' - will try that ; however it seems apparently that was not a permanent fix.
As I am basically tecnicall challenged/OLD .... any easy/detailed instruction on how to get the ring-tones/sound back/on
would be appreciated.

Some improvement!

Following previous info ; I used the hash hash 634 hash code to access Diagnostic panel ;
I then tried star hash 0673 hash ; and got the mentioned sound L/R ON page -
By clicking/holding ON I have now got some sound comming through ;
Its not loud, although I have volume up full/30 - and dont know how long it will last ;
But at least proves its an software type fault rather than anything wrong with the actual speakers.

[Q] Sound problem after warming

Hi to all guys!
I have an LG-E900...and some time ago i get the lg logo problem (stuck on it).
I warmed the Mother Board (the one that include sim/wifi/fm)...i solved that problem but now the speaker dosn't work.
I'll explain it better...
Is like there is always the jack put in the phone, infact if i put in an headset i can hear all.
If I get a call is all mute until I put the loudspeacker mode it's all ok, the phone switch the audio and the microphone&speaker works normally.
1) I've tried to warm again that mb but no result.
2) I've tried to unsolder the jack but same result. (I've soldered it again)
3) I've search on the motherboard something wrong but it seems all ok....=(
So now i'm asking to you all what should i do to solve this problem...
I was thinking...There is no way to modify the phone registry through the MFG for switch definitely the audio on the speaker (or for disable definetly the audio-jack, losing this feature) ?
P.s.
If i go to MFG-> Engineer menu -> Device test -> microphone test and try the microphone, and after that I'll go to try the sound test, the speaker turn on and work until i receive a call or put the phone in stand by.
So i think there is something OR on the O.S. or some faulty fuse....
Anyway some help? Any solution or try will be appreciete =)
Thanks in advance for the answers and greetings from sicily!

Q Mic volume is so low , people can't hear what iam saying

Hello guys ,
i have note 3 N9005 , Android 4.4.2 .. I got it since last Feb. It was perfect till about 2 weeks ago , everytime i call someone on phone they ask me to rasie my voice ... We can barely hear you.
At first i though it was the network because i have bad coverage in my house , So i tried to use viber and facebook Calls , But the same problem ,, So its definitely not the network .. Almost something in my Mic.? I really dont know
I didnt do anything new or abnormal in my mobile to say it maybe a reason , so i restored factory defaults and guess what ? Nothing happened
Iam really upset and i have to shout like an idiot so they can hear me .. I saw an article that you can edit mic volume values but that need rooting and other things .. I really dont know what to do so iam asking for help please.
PS : When i talk from my earphones they can hear me very well

Go for a Warranty Claim. The microphones would have got damaged..

what do u mean by damaged? I googled for it but it seems its uncommon , And if its damaged how they can hear me but at low vol. ?

Update : I tried to call a friend and open phone speaker on call and guess what? They hear me perfectly. This is getting complicated.
Its now not a mic problem

Just to let you know guys , i solved the problem. I visited a center for samsung care and told him the issue.
He used a tiny thing like a thin pin and put it inside the mic then draw it back , Then asked me to test it .. So i called some friends and it worked perfectly fine
He told me that the mic hole was just little plugged and needed just a little clean , I told him that when i use speaker they can hear me fine , How could it be the mic then!? .. We had no idea but it worked as before and he didn't even get any money.
So for future if anyone ever had the same problem , just check your mic hole .. Some dust and issues maybe closing it.
