So, I have had issues with loading my phone. I changed the daughterboard to fix the issue.
Now I have a whole different issue, the mic volume is really low to the point where I almost have to shout to make myself heard.. Is there any way I can boost line in? I am guessing there is some option in mixer_path where I can do it, but where? I don´t want to change something before I am 100% sure about what it does..
Any one able to help me??

Hmm... Wouldn't it be wiser to think about what happened rather than hacking your phone to make it work again? It used to work properly with the same hardware before. There's no reason it should change because you replaced a composant.
Except if maybe:
1 - the new composant is faulty.
2 - the new composant is crap and damaged your existing hardware.
3 - you damaged a wire/harness rebuilding your phone.
Just trying to eliminate all possibilities... Charge your phone fully since the old Port is dead. Open your device and replace the daughter board with your old one again and test the mic. Hopefully you won't have to modify system files and get your device back up and running!
Good luck... :good:

Well, the microphone is located on the same daughterboard. Sure, the new one seems to be faulty to some point. I only found out after some days that the mic was on the same board so the old one as it had a faulty charge port got tossed sadly.
Now I am stuck with a working chargerport but with a very low mic line in so I am trying to work something out besides tossing the whole phone. So as I said, anyone know of any way to boost line in by editing the mixer_path file?
Edit: Hope you don´t see me as rude 5.1 but I have sadly no other options then to edit or hack my phone, thx for your comments thou :good:

Hello... Not rude at all...
I'm not an electronic engineer, but you know amplifying the signal to the point your mic works as intended could maybe damage other parts of the phone as it is not designed to work this way. Again I'm not sure it's the case...
Good luck..!

Hi Guys!
My TyTn is acting strangely. In use, the display is first pixelating, getting lines (noise pixels as well), and then fading to completely white. When so it doesn't responde to anything anymore. So a soft reset is needed.....
Also the ringtone when called, is 'out of tune', like a old record player when you push your finger on the record.. LOL
Before I send it back to have it fixed by HTC, do you guys have any idea whats wrong, and maybe even a tip to help me fix this myself?
Tried numerous soft resets, hard reset, and a reinstall of the original WM6 rom (in Dutch).
Did not install any new programs lately, or did change anything on the unit...
Don't want to miss my TyTn... so hate to send it away... as many of you I am hooked badly to my beloved digital companion
Greetzz Antal
It acts like hardware incompatible.
How about flashing with WM6 English version.
I don't think it is software problem.
I agree, not likely to be software. It did not get dropped or take a knock did it?
The two issues of pixelation/white screen may, if you are lucky, just be a connector thats loose. The sound I think is unrelated but again sounds like a poor connection at the white rear speaker connector block - not uncommon.
Both of the above could be caused by a sharp knock. There have also been cases of poor battery connections causing problems.
If you have a warranty use it. If not you can follow the dismantling guides or service manual to dismantle - check connections and re-assemble. Be prepared though, that sending it in might still be required!!
Mike
Will send it in
Hi Guys, Thanks fr your replies.
I will take the unit back to the store today.
I am not aware that I bumped it, or neither it has dropped. May be a connection that was allready quite loose to begin with. Lets see what HTC and the store will tell me
Strange thing is, that without my sim in it, and not using it, it stays normal... Have put it aside, and used a very old phone instead, and it is still normal..

Mmmm... that's important information and changes things a bit. Could be a sim card contact or something about the sim. Anyway it tends to suggest that other thoughts about hardware issues may not be correct!
Hope you find the answer at the store.

Hello all!
First, thanks for an awesome forum! It has both helped me tweak my Wizard, and also get help when I have needed it.
Well, I have no choice now but to ask here. Last autumn, my warranty was almost up, and a wierd problem presented itself. The mic and speaker suddenly just stopped working! The sidespeakers still work, I think, because the phone rings when someone calls me. But the caller can't hear me, and I can't hear the caller. And there isn't a hint of sound in it, no static or noise, there simply is nothing.
As there were only a few days before the 2 year warranty was up, I ran to my dealer and turned it in. A few weeks later, the phone returned, working again. But now that I come to think about it, I don't remember if I got a replacement or if they actually repaired it... It looked a little like they handled it rough though, maybe it was another phone... Well, that's not important right now.
The same thing has happened again! Summary:
1. Mic & phonespeaker dead
2. Stereo speakers work under certain conditions
3. Wired headset that came with the phone works, both for calling and media
So it seems like a hardware problem. Please note, although I downgraded the phone to original, official Swedish Qtek 9100 ROM, it has been thoroughly tweaked and upgraded to a number of different WM6 ROMs - but all that has been working beatifully!
Still, what are the odds for the mic&speaker dying twice in a row, on different phones (i think the present one is a replacement)?!?
Question: Does anyone recognize this? Is there a possibility that it is software related, and maybe fixable? I have searched both the web and these forums but haven't really found any information on it.
ANY input would be greatly appreciated!
Additional information:
Qtek 9100 (Swedish), G3 model, WM6 upgrade successful (unlocked)
EDIT: There are no system sounds, which is wierd, because the phone can still ring. I thought the system sounds came from the stereo speakers on the sides of the device?
Hello all!
It is a glorious day to be alive!!! Or to have a fully functional Wizard, at least!
Lol - my topic isn't very old, and i reply to it myself with a solution (?). I Googled after the Wizard service manual, and found it right here on Xda .
In all honesty, i didn't do all that much. I just followed the disassembly instructions of the wizard about half-way through, to the point where you get down to the back of the motherboard. I poked and fiddled enough to locate the mic assembly, only to discover that the mic is soldered to the mainboard of the phone. So, i figured i'd just leave it be, because if the mic is really broken the motherboard needs to be repleaced, or a replacement mic needs to be soldered on there.
After removing A LOT of dust in there (honestly, i think the service center that had my device last time wasn't very careful with anything, even a screw was missing! ), i reassembled it. The flat cable running to the keyboard was also a little skewed, but that may have been me, anyway i corrected it too. Same with the speakers.
Long story short, after successfully reassmbling the phone, i fired it up, called my home phone and voila! I works!
Not much of a fix, as i don't really know what i did exactly, but dust, dirt and some bad connections/soldering may have benn the culprit.
All in all, i'm very pleased with my afternoon here. Thanks for stopping by .

hi epatnor,
I think the problem with your phone was a stucked microswitch in the 2,5 mm connector for the headset. I read about it here in the forum. Sometimes the switch stays in the closed position and the phone still thinks the headset is connected. Thats why all the sound is sent to the not connected headset and therefor your phone seems to be not working (unless you connect the headset)...
But removing the dust is for sure not a bad thing...
For the next time: I think there was an easier solution for this problem than disassembling your phone...
regards
huibuh_1
Thanks huibuh_1,
Yes this was probably not the smoothest way of "fixing" it. That said, the stucked microswitch theory would actually fit my problem well - I can see now that the exact problem I was having would arise if such a switch was indeed stuck.
However, I think that the problem would be more intermittent since I actually use that port now and then - especially since it's the only way to talk (besides using a bluetooth headset that is). And since I connect the wired headset now and again the switch is used and moved, I suspect that this would result in the speaker/mic coming online again maybe..? Temporarily at least?
All the same, thanks for replying - this might happen again and with your information I'm better prepared for it!
hello i used wm 6.1 and suddenly the sound and speaker are not working
when i call some one i don't hear him and i don't hear any music.

speaker
think your speaker is broken. can you play other sounds? like a mp3
Your problem isn't a software one, most likely it's a hardware issue.
Check this.

Let me help you I had the same problem it was hardware not software but I fixed by applying pressure to the phone speakers uses a small peace of paper and leave the paper in to apply pressure it will trust me ok
Hi, same happened to me too, flashed a new rom and suddenly no sound, flashed another still nothing. It was the hardware problem described earlier, I cut a small peice of cloth to apply pressure to the speaker now works fine.
The rom flashing and sound stopping must have just been a coincidence.
guys,
the prophets speaker is very thin. whilst applying pressure will work short term (it did for me for a month or so) it will eventually fail.
Whislt it still works, search ebay and for about £5 or $8 you can buy a new one along with tools to remove the casing properly. It took me twenty minutes to do the whole thing... search google for how to remove the casing, you can find it easily.
The only thing you have to take care is when removing the back cover is to use tweezers to unplug the speak cable from the main board oryou may damage the socket.
But dont stress its quite easy and im no brain surgeon
Hello everybody,
I have an HTC Desire A8181 that it's approx. two years old now so, in one day I thought it could be a good idea to clean it up a little bit with a rudimentary air blower near me which was used to blow all the dust from it.
Well, the bad part is that I managed to break the microphone since now I can call and hear the person at the other end but seems that my phone is deaf as long as the call is unidirectional.
I've search for solutions to this problem om the net, maybe a direct microphone replacement but found none so far!
Hence my request to you: does anybody know from where I can buy such a part and replace it to make my phone usable again? I'm interest in the part number... or something equivalent from other phone manufacturer that will work.
I understand that it's rather difficult to unsolder the bad microphone and replace with the new one but I have a friend of mine who's working at a GSM service... so it will be no problem in switching the parts.
Thank you,
L
You sure you didn't just blow crap into the microphone? Try cleaning out the tiny opening on it so it's not blocked. Use a pin and be VEERRRRYYYYY GENTLE and careful.

It would probably be easiest to try find a bricked/broken/faulty phone and just transfer the microphone because the chances are the microphone would still work on a broken phone. I don't think you can buy them individually.
Unless its on these two parts:
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/flex-cable-for-htc-desire-g7-p-3598.html?language=en <- most likely
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/motherboard-for-htc-desire-g7-p-3231.html?language=en <- unlikely and expensive
Hello,
Just wanted to let you know I have a pretty much useless old Desire A8181, i think i ruined the proximity sensor as everything else worked fine. Until you got call or tried to ring someone and held it to your head. Coudn't even hang up! It's sitting here with a cpl of spare batteries if you wanted to work out some arrangement?
Cheers
how price of desire mic?

Hello,
thanx for infos! In fact it's the second alternative (the expensive one). The microphone is found on the back side of motherboard PCB. Unfortunately for me I have to buy a new htc desire to make it functional. a broke phone would be enough. Even so, it's way to expensive compared to a "simple" microphone.
Cheers,

Helllo guys...i have more problem with my Pro 3 like CDLA only after restart ... quick charge problem...and so..
but now i have problem with main mic... i must "lick" my phone when i want to somebody on next side listen me..very very low ... when i test sound recorder and this use camera mic ist always ok...
I think that problem ist maybe some setting or soft becouse when I call with somebody i listen me from my speker..and second side listen me only when i kiss my phone and shouting....i tryed flash new rom...6,0..7,1 but problem is always...
I found only Enginee mode and there is Mic settings..some value..but this ist possible only for MTK... and for snapdragon nothing?
Maybe i must make somethink like he https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihpeowj73XI .... but i am amateur..it is posible on Leeco Le pro 3?

Had the same on my Le Pro 3 after a dive in my swimming pool
I solved this problem by changing the whole board module, it contains the 2 mics (multimedia+phone) + charging port.
If you want to do it, you certainly have to buy a new screen also and have desoldering 2 wires from the speaker and resoldering back on the new board.
Here is the board I bought:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...034.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.48d74c4dxSCKI8
You'll find a lot of different displays at different prices too.
Good luck

What do you recommend me do to? To buy new board (the one you showed) would fix the issue?
i just dont understand the part "buying new screen" . My screen works totaly fine, why do we need to change? Can we not put it back by a special glue (for screens) ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Sorry for your phone, it's hard to say it's related to the mic board because it's working after the reboot... but maybe it's a question of temperature... for the money that this board costs, you can give a try.
Now, why the screen? because I'm quite sure that when you will remove your screen, you'll damage it. Or I'm really bad for that I opened it two times and broke it two times :laugh: I also bought a B7000 special glue.
I hope you'll find a fully working phone soon.

You are right, the only way to successfully remove the screen is carefully with a Heat gun. But long enough that the screen will fall off, when you tilt it to the side. The heat shield will also have residual glue.
