Elephone S7 (mini) no Rinning/no Mic - Elephone S7 Questions & Answers

Dear Forum
Since this morning (the phone didn't dropped), my elephone s7 mini does not ring (no sound, just visual notification), and it's microphone is not working (If I call someone, he can't hear me). However during the phone call I'm able to hear the person.
If I plug-in a headset, the headset's microphone and speaker works correct.
I haven't done a reset yet.
Does anyone has a clue, what the issue could be?
regards & many thanks for the help

No sound :-(

Hi,
Following on from my phone app problems, my XDA Mini S has now stopped producing sound alltogether!
I believe the problem is that the phone thinks i have the headset plugged in, as i can hear sounds through the suppluied headphones but nothing when they are unplugged - not even during a call.
Please can someone make a suggestion? I have tried soft resetting.
:?:
EDIT: I should point out that i can hear the ringtone when the phone rings through the speaker but absolutely no other sounds - nothing in calls and nothing from the speakers - WMAs etc.
try unplugging and plugging it back in a few times (quite a few in one go)
the headphone "sensor" is usually hardware which picks up when something is physically plugged in .
not sure what else to try
if u have had it less then 30 days then get a replacement next day from o2.
or hard reset ? but backup first!
Hmm,
I just can't work this out. How come the ringtone plays through the speakers? If the phone thought the headset was plugged in would it not just play the ringer through the headset? Can anyone confirm this please?
Stupid phone :-(
Mine did the same, ringtone played OK but could only make calls with the headset plugged in. Thouhgt I was going to have to return it, but ried pushig the jack i alittle further before pulling it out and it all started working OK. I've not had the problme since.
hi guys , i have problem with sound as well , i just unblocked the simlock with lokiwiz02b , and suddenly there was no sound at all , i can call but there is no sound , i tried to play ringtones nothing works , headset is not solution as well , when i tried to run media player message - no hardware device to play sound or device not available , and everytime i open the volume control it's show that it's mutted and i can't scroll it up to make any sound all i can say it seems that system drivers for sound are ****ed up,
anybody have any idea how to solve it? i have still few days to return it but i played with this simlock so i'm afraid they can charge me extra for repair ,
Have you tried a hard reset?

My Charmer, has the opposite problem. My speaker went dead on my suddenly during a phone conversation on speaker phone mode. So, I can't hear any phone rings and stuff, but still able to make calls, with or without the ear phone.
Yes, confirm (for my charmer) that if you have your ear phone in, speaker won't give you any sound. So, don't think it is that earphone plug sensor thing problem.
yes i tried hard reset but everything still the same -no sound at all
No sound on earpiece, microphone ok
Well I tried the suggestions in the forum and still it didn't work. I then thought maybe there's dust and stuff in the workings, blew into the earpiece and it worked.
It's worth a try!
Hope this helps.
Hello to everybody.. I had the same problem for months and last week i gave my wizard to the assistance cause I feded up!
I solve the problem with 70 euros but now it-s better.

no audio, no mic... just headset works! Major BUG? Pls HELP

Hi Folks!
Some days ago my phone developed am major bug. When a call comes in (or is going out), i can't hear anything and the caller can't hear me either, since the mic doesn't seem to work.
The other speakers, which are used during Windows Media player is active, don't work as well. It's also not possible to talk hands free.
The only way i can talk is when i plug in my headset. Now i did a hard reset (comm button, voice button, cam button PLUS reset button) but nothing changed.
I'm quite pissed, since i'm very dependent on this device. Can anybody help`? Any hints are much appreciated!!
thank you,
Mario[/b]
Sounds like the little sensor that determines if you have a headset plugged in is stuck. Not as unusual as it should be.
Try a bit of "in and out" with the headset plug and see if that helps.
Hi mate!
thx for your reply! I tried that some days ago and it worked - if only for 2 hours :evil:
since then, this trick didn't work any more... is it possible to fix this sensor by yourself?
cheers,
mario
I had that some time back on my Wizard. Putting the headphone socket in and out sometimes worked, but not always. Wierdly, blowing hard in the socket was a guaranteed fix for the time being.
Then, just when I thought I was going to have to try and get it repaired, it corrected itself and it's been fine ever since.
So, not sure if this is much help other than to say:
a) Try blowing hard in the socket
b) Don't give up - it's not necessarily a permanent problem.

Calling problems on Xperia

Hello XDA crew,
I have some problems and I hope you can help me with that. Xperia phone is really cool but one thing for me is really annoying. And that is the calling performance of Xperia.
These are the main problems:
1. When I plug in the headset, the ringtone plays both on the headset speakers and the phone speaker. Is there a way to let the ringtone play only on the headset speakers?
2. When I plug in the headset, the microphone of the headset isnt active. Only the microphone of the phone is active. So, people can not understand me when I speak to the headset microphone. But they can hear me when I talk to the microphone of Xperia.
These are some other problems but not so important for me:
3. The volume of the call is too high. Even when I set the volume low, people can hear the person who I am talking with.
4. Microfone of Xperia get active after for about two seconds when I answer the phone. So, I have to wait for about 2 seconds to say 'hi'.
5. The answer button of the headset doesn't work.
Can someone help me with this problems or just one of these problems?
Note: I have hardreset my phone two times and reinstalled the ROM software one time via SEUS. I didnt get any result. I have the original Vodafone R2 software.
I have the 2 second delay too. Using gtrab wm6.5 custom rom

Unplug the headphone jack during a call and plug again (during the same call) and press the answer button. It will terminate the call and start working (until your next xperia soft reset). Double-press the answer button when idle, and it will repeat the last call. If that doesn't work, try it again and again after the first trick of plugging/unplugging and it will work on your 4th/5th try. From then on, all answer/hangup/'repeat last call' functions will work. Until you soft reset of course.
I'm calling a toll free (service center) number to do the trick whenever I have to use the handsfree.

It works (on a WM6.5 rom also)
Nice little trick there, thanks
Tnx for the trick vanauberjim. So it seems more like a hardware problem. Anyway, I will try it tomorrow. Hope that the main problems also be solved like this.
Both 2. and 5. get fixed with the trick, but I just hope SE will find a permanent fix. It's not a solution to unplug and replug the headphones during calls.
My question is: are we the only 3 persons that have this problem? Is this problem originally caused by the headset hardware? Is it caused because the plug is so tight that it severely scratched the middle ring in the headphone jack and it can't always make a connection with the middle ring (the microphone one)? How many people have this problem?
Have the same problem
I do have the same problem and workaround works for mee to but it is annoying!
@vanauberjim, I can ensure you that we are definitely not the only one with these problems. I saw on a popular dutch forum that a lot of people have exactly the same problem.

Have you tested with another hands-free set ? is it the phone or the hands-free causing the problem?
I have send my hands-free to SE yesterday so they will check it and if it was ok I will send the phone back.
About 3 seconds of delay when I answer , I haven't done anything yet , is it a bug , I mean do we have this problem or every X1 out there.
Ok, post back soon because if it's faulty hands free we only have 6 months warranty on handsfree (and battery) and time's running out. The phone has 2 years warranty so we have plenty of time for its handset's faults.
I got the same problems, is annoying BTW ... and about the trick mmm quiet annoying as well, but if is the only way to make it work, no more than just do it.

I think it's a phone problem. I use the original headset and sometimes when I plugin the headset the phone calles the person who I have called earlier. Now I have another stupid problem. When I plugout the headset, the phone still thinks that the headset is plugged in on the phone. I see the headset icon on the phone and when I call someone, I cant hear and speak with the person. Only way I can do this is to plugin the headset again and speak that way. When I plugin and plugout for several times, the headset icon dissapears and I can make my call again without a headset. I think that alle these problems are because the jack plug doesn't function good.
Another issue. I call it issue because it's not a problem, but just a stupid choise of sonyericsson:
- Some soundnotifications during calling like 'busy tone' or 'waiting tone' plays from the main speaker of the phone in instead of the calling/ear speaker. This way, all the people who are sitting next to you hears that the person who you are calling is busy
It will be for the 4th time that I go to the shop with a problem. So I will ask to the shopper if I can choose another phone. I'm thinking about the Touch Pro 2. I'm sick of the problems of Xperia. Don't think that HTC will have the same problems.

[Q] Blade S6 Call volume too low

Hi all,
Does anyone else have this problem, using ZTE's Android 5.02, in which the caller's voice level is too low? I can barely hear a person's voice when I answer/call them. But they clearly hear me.
I've tried a few apps that boost volume, but none of them work.
All other things, ringtone, apps, media, music etc. - the volume is fine.
ZTE had an auto update yesterday, system update, completely fixed the volume for me! Everything is normal and working well now
I have problem with wifi, can't connect! (IP adress = 0.0.0.0) plzzz help!!!

What update are you talking about? I'm also having the "low volume" issue.
thanks
edit: tried the b10 update again and still low volume. So pls help
I have the same problem. The in-call volume gets turned way down for some reason when you answer/make a call.
i don't know why, possibly a bug?
when you next make/receive a call...once connected, take the phone away from your ear & look at it.
press the volume up button and you'll see its at about 25%.
pain in the arse

Hi, turn off the "Dual microphone" setting in the dialer app. This solves the problem.

Problem with microphone on headphones after nougat update

My wife and I both updated to Nougat a couple of days ago. Love it overall. We've only had one problem and it's the same one. The microphone on the headphones no longer works on either of our phones. We have looked at every setting we can find to see if somehow there is a toggle that can be changed or something. No luck this far. Are we missing a setting that can fix this? Has anyone else had this problem?
I just noticed this is likely the wrong section for this question. I don't see how to move it. My apologies.

I am having the same problem, I must have factory reset twice and the problem still persists.
I don't think that it is the hardware, I feel it is the software and a nasty bug.
The volume with mine comes and goes and when I am speaking on the phone during speaker mode, they can't hear me.
You are not alone abit that this bug is not affecting a lot of users, but it does exist.
:crying:

Glad to hear it isn't just my wife and I. A friend of ours has an Edge also on T-Mobile and the upgrade didn't have the same result for them. Hoping a workaround is figured out or an update to fix the issue.

My issue was previous to the update so it has to be a bug with the Android 6.1 os and sound (still happens with 7.0)
This will happen when I am streaming Youtube for more than 10 minutes, the volume will drop while the video is still playing. Then it will come back on within a minute to 30 seconds randomly.
When I am having a phone call using the speaker phone, the volume will drop. The other person on the phone can't hear me but I can hear them.. I have to turn off speaker phone and cradle the phone like a normal person would, thus not able to use the speaker phone.
When I am having a phone call hands free when I am driving using bluetooth, the conversation will start out ok , but then after 3 minutes or so, the other person can't hear me. I can hear them but they cant hear me. I have to turn off bluetooth and cradle the phone.
I hope there is a patch for this or a root being released to that I can flash another rom to get around this nasty bug.
Dear markmain2. 0
Do you have still this issue or solved it?
I have no issue after upgrade. Did you have chance to change the other earpiece or original one.
this has been an issue since the BETA. apparently they don't listen lol. has to be software related, if someone has time they could always revert to MM and see if it works again

Helloo there,
I recently (barely 2 weeks ago, gave in to temptation) upgraded my 6 month old S7 edge to nougat. Couple of days after the update mid-call handsfree mic goes MIA.
Switched headsets having intermittent mic outage again.
Did you manage to sort it out ??
Any help would be much appreciated. My work involves being on the phone 7-8 hours a day and I need to be handsfree ona wired headset.
Just cant be done without.
