I ended up using compressed air to blow my phone off. After i was done, the mic for in calls is not working now, i have to use my phone on speaker phone now to talk to anyone, my question is do i have to replace the whole loudspeaker assembly to fix this or can i buy a replacement mic and change it, i can't seem to find a replacement mic for my phone. Thanks.

I replaced the housing on my old BB Pearl, and my G1 (which was way, way more complicated).
I've got a Magic now, and the ear speaker is acting up. When I make a call, sometimes the ear speaker is just dead - I can switch to the speakerphone no problem, and then when I switch back I usually have sound in the ear speaker, but I suspect physical speaker damage because sometimes it'll cut out and I can squeeze the top of the headset just right and it'll come back. Crossing my fingers that it's not something else electronic in the board.
I want to replace it - and while I've got it apart, may as well give it a new body since they are only $10-$15. (wish I could upgrade it to the Fender body with the 3.5mm headphone jack lol)
Problem is, although I can find new housings all over the place (including eBay), I can't find the replacement speaker anywhere but some GlobalPartsDirect website, and they have a 5-unit minimum wholesale order quantity.
Any suggestions on where to look? Thanks in advance!!
Bump on this-
I had PM'd a seller on Ebay who said they had one - just waited over 3 weeks for it to arrive, only to discover they sent me a replacement speakerphone speaker.
I could not have been clearer with them that it was the ear speaker that was not working.
Any help is appreciated - I now need to resolve this urgently, as I can't use my phone as a phone, and I'm postponing all sorts of things that I need to resolve - of course the timing is such that I need to liquidate some things and I can't set up Craigslist ads because I can't talk on my phone. Please help!
Hey folks,
Yesterday i dropped my phone in some water - doh. Well I cleaned it out and it seems to be working just fine except for the loud speaker. I think it shorted out. I've tried different tricks like rice and canned air and nothing seems to make it work. The phone does generate sound if i plug in a pair of headphones. I can also hear someone when I call them so the other smaller speaker is working. I think I need to replace the part.
I found this: http://www.repairsuniverse.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-loud-speaker.html
It appears to be very similiar to the piece that is in the s4, but it says that it is not compatible with the SCH L720. Our phone is the SPH-L720 so it should fit right?
If this won't fit any ideas where I can acquire a replacement for it?
Thanks folks
So I thought I busted my earpiece and had it replaced, but it didn't fix the issue. Basically, there's no sound coming out of the earpiece, the part you put up to your ear when talking to someone.
Do you think it might be a motherboard issue or something else?
Just in case, I did flash stock 4.4.2 before sending it in for repair. So it's not on the software side either.
I don't know why so sudden my V20 got problem with it's mic.. There is even a bigger problem which is I don't even know what to be replaced now..
There is 2 situation here :
1 - When in call, with normal mode..everything is working fine but whenever i'm trying to put my phone to loudspeaker mode.. The people whose in call with me is claiming that there is a dead silence when i'm in loudspeaker mode..
Same goes when i'm in Whatsapp Videocall as example, i can hear them but they can't even hear me..
2 - When i'm doing recording with HD Voice Recorder app, the left channel won't even got anything recorded.. Only the right channel does the job..
Same goes with video recording, only right channel does the job while the left channel sound records nothing..
I'll be informed that V20 have 3 mic and it is obviously one at top and one at the bottom while another one is inside the phone nearby the earpiece if i'm not mistaken.. so now, i'll need help.. Which mic should i'll replace to get everything working again?
I'll believe my top mic is broken but which one? The one at the left before the earpiece or at the right next to earpiece? HELPPpPpppPpppPp
nevermind, got mine fixed.. just replace the new mic at the top and now i have back my fully functional V20 again..
i'll never know that phone is using a different mic for normal call mode and loudspeaker call mode.. Now i'm feeling like an idiot because everytime i'll do loudspeaker, i do scream at the bottom mic while it is using top mic ATM.. gosh
I just got mine and no one could hear me, i pushed a thumb tack in the bottom mic hole because it looked like a little plug or plastic was blocking it and and now it works fine, mine was a refurb phone
Bottom mic
My phone mics worked in speaker phone calls but not talking through the regular in-call mic. I had a repair man change the bottom mic today. He had to install 4 mics to get it and the one that worked was out if a Samsung phone! Cost me USD$60. Apparently my phone had water damage before I bought it used. That's annoying but I'm back in business!
I am in the same exact situation. Replaced the main loudspeaker, top two earpiece speakers and still my voice won't come through on the other end of a normal headset mode call. Only can speak through loudspeaker. What part must I replace? I'm thinking normal headset mode sound is received through the pinhole area next to the 3.5mm jack. What part do I replace?! It's getting personal now. I will fix this phone!!
Not counting the two earpiece speakers up top on the mainboard, and the large loudspeaker on the bottom what other speakers are there for me to replace?
HI guys, please help me with my LG V20 VS995
Internal microphones (i tested them individually) works when using a recorder app.
Recording is loud and clear but when i call anyone, they cant hear anything.
External mic with headphones does work.
Things i did:
Factory reset. Clear cache, different firmware, root, no root etc ,nothing helps.
V20 has 2 built in microphones. Tried to swap, leave one attached or another no change.
Replaced phone jack with brand new, no change.
Soldered brand new microphone or swapped with the one from the top, no change.
Re-seat chip thats located near bottom microphone, assuming it has anything to do with it.
Few days ago after i soldered another microphone, it started to work and then it stopped working not sure when, maybe after i dropped the phone ?
I am running out of ideas.
I dont understand why when using app, voice is loud and clear but when i call, no one can hear me.
As if there is some kind of switch somewhere that activates ONLY when call is placed.
UPDATE:
I performed another test today by calling my self from skype.
When i steadily buzz directly into the microphone, the voice i head in skype is pulsating from quiet to loud.
I resoldered the mic again, this time using little more solder around the hole and now i can it works BUT only if i talk on the speaker.
I am very confused right now as to whats causing it
