Hello everyone! I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) which I bought 21 Days ago,and until 15/09/2014 it worked perfectly. By then,When I call someone or they call me,people cannot hear me. I tried to blow into the microphone hole in the bottom of the phone,and then they said that they could hear me LOW and muffled. I then tried to Factory Reset the phone,thinked that it could be a software problem,but nothing. Could it be that something got into the microphone hole? Do I need to bring it to Samsung Repair? Or can I solve this by myself? It's kinda annoying waiting one Month to get the phone repaired and staying without it :| Thanks in advance!
P.S: Phone has never been rooted nor CWM or Custom Rom. Left it stock,will wait some months to root.

Same problem occured to me today. I'll send it to warranty. It's hardware problems. If you try an call someone with headset plugged in it works with no problem. It's hardware related (bottom mic). Same advice to you !

Well man,I solved it! I used a needle to clean the crap that got in the mic hole, it was just a little bit but that didn't make the microphone to work as it should have. Now it's clean and works perfectly,as new :highfive:

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:

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.
Dear Friends....
Today I found out that my speaker doesn't work!!!! It doesn't ring!!! { just vibration }
also I can talk on the phone...but when I press the speaker button...I can not hear anything,,,, I am sure it is the external speaker.....
I did soft reset ....and hard reset ...didn't work!!!! I didn't do anything with it...
it also has the original rom .....
I tried to dismount it...but after opening the four screws...I didn't know what to do....I couldn't go further...I couldn't find a way to open it..... the worst thing is that the warranty finished just 3 days ago I am very very lucky!
so please help me either fix it or dismount it....
but please please be fast!
Thank you very much in advance
I heard some weak sounds....
I was working with my phone...and I could hear some weak sounds from it.... It was working.....but with very weak sounds.....!!!!
What should I do?!
I would say it is a hardware fault, either the speaker is faulty or probably dry joints somewhere. I remember reading a thread which gives the hardware diagram, but I could not remember where nor did I bookmark it. If you do a search, may be you can find it. As much as I can help. Regards.
Same happened to me!
Luckily for me it was 3 weeks before the warranty ended and I got it fixed.
I did see that you could buy the speaker on ebay - and was wondering about that option if the company didn't help.
Just search ebay for HTC touch 3g speaker
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"

cud be hardware related problem,better take it to a repair shop
1. Is the headset working?
If working, probably the speaker. I just replaced my X8 speaker last night after it sounded tinny after a hard drop! Good thing I have a defective Nokia with a "good" quality speakers. In fact, the sound is even better even before dropping the phone...
Good luck!
2. If not working, what are the things that you did to your phone before the sound failed?
Thank you all guys!
I torn apart the phone,clean from inside it was..
I used another speaker from a nokia phone i had,same effect.
Although when i used the speakers without the plastic inside cover and applied some pressure both worked fine!
It's an assembly problem then because not much pressure is put on the speaker so it's connectors are in touch with the motherboard...anyway i gave the phone back to my friend and gave me my money back!
Time to look for another x8 somewhere else...
The last week or so I'm having trouble with my top speaker or the left speaker. I don't know what happened to it, it just stopped working. I've tried different kernels and cleaning it with air. I hope it's not a hardware problem and something that is easily fixed. I was wondering if anyone else has heard or run into this problem with their device. If so I'd love any suggestions, thank you.
Have you tried returning to factory stock? Sounds like it's hardware related.
I just received my 6p last week. Top speaker does not work at all. Also, when in a call, speaker phone the other end cannot hear me at all.
I already initiated an RMA.
Mine is a hardware issue. I am still 100% stock. Google told me I had to RMA it with the store I purchased it from or go through Huawei. First time I've heard that. Though, since I just did purchase I'm still within the 14 day window to go through the place I purchased from.

No not yet....I'm trying to see if other's have had this problem and have had a fix other than return it or factory reset. I'll give it another week or so and try. Thanks for the reply.

I really hope it's a software issue, I'm overseas and sending it back really isn't an option. Thank you for the reply, I hope your new one doesn't have the same problem.

I had to return it and I got it back fixed...Doesn't sound good for your situation.
I really do love the 6P. Next time I will only be buying through Google though.
Top speaker not working
Hi. I'm having the exact same issue. I purchased a replacement speaker but didnt worked either. I can't return the phone and also I like it better than anything in the market. Any workaround on this please?
