Help - First major mic problem in HTC TC

Hi everyone, how are you?
For about a week or so i have been having some problems in my touch cruise.
My mic stop working (more or less). I have been trying to solve it by myself and with some help of forums in my mother language, but even so, i failed.
The problem is this:
When i answer a call, the person in the other side is not able to hear me at all. Only if i shout real loud and if i take the device from my ear and put it right in front of my mouth, they can only hear whisper like sounds.
If i am the one doing the call, it happens the same thing.
If i try to record a voice note or something like it, almost the same thing. i cant hear myself talking. Only in the situation i mentioned above, with the phone in front of my mouth and with me shouting, its possible to ear something.
I have done a hard reset just now and it remains with the same problem
do you know what might be happening? do you recommend some proceeder before i try sending it to be fix?
I bought it online, in expansys (and i'm in Portugal) and they said that i have to contact a company that makes the "fixing" for them (outsourcing services you know). I tried to call them but i didn't got any answer yet.
I know who is the dealer of the HTC brand in my country (Novabase).
Should i contact them directly, should i go first to the other fixing company or should i try some mambojambo in registry or some app that may fix the problem?
Please help me. My phone/pda is (almost) my life. I need it for work (and the amount of money i gave for it does not include problems of any kind )
Thank you in advance and sorry for the HUGE post.
I will be waiting for your guru answers =)
stay cool

up...
please

Unfortunately, it really sounds like a hardware problem, especially you already tried the hard reset. You can confirm this by using the headset. If everything works fine using the headset, then your phone's mic is broken. And if that's the case, sending it in for warranty repair is the only solution.

yeah, you are right. with the wired headset it works (oh, just to think about it, does your headset moves arround insite the jack? it seems loose)
it has to be hardware then. :S
SH*T =( so much money for this :S
thnaks anyway =X

Major mic problem
I've bought 2 HTC TC Cruise and both of them have the same mic problem, so it's supposed to be a quite common issue: suddenly the mic becomes deaf without any apparent reason! I know it maight be an hw problem, but I would avoid the too slow assistance service if possible, does anybody have an idea? Tnx all, bye.

This seems to be a common problem in Touch Cruise. My Mic stopped working and I took a replacement

The Hardware Quality Of Polaris Is Unacceptable Weak!
Just one month ago my Polaris was repaired and shiped back from UK (mainboard replacement in HTC repair center). It was "SIM not found" HW problem.
...and I have now a same MIC problem!
Now I see - I'm not alone, this looks like amplifier chip failure on the switchboard.
THE HARDWARE QUALITY OF POLARIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WEAK!
Im finish spending my time and money on shipment to HTC repair center.
Today I'm using a BT headset and looking for spare parts on web.
Hate the moment I decided to bay this ****!

Kindly help me friends. This is really very difficult to bear

Annoying sound when kaiser is awake..Kindly suggest*urgent*
Hi guyz
I just bought a TyTn II device. I don't know whats gone wrong with it that it is giving me annoying sound when its awake but surprisingly when i turn off the screen the sound goes off. its very annoying just like some bee is there behind..
I wonder if i using some wrong radio 1.65.24.36 with PDACORNER v16ultimate, Hard SPL 3.29[as per the recommendation of cook]. I tried to change the radio but to no avail. it seems its more than that.
i dont know if there is some hardware problem or what. but its really making my experience painful. Kindly suggest your remedies.
poor I tried to port hard spl 3.56 but to no avail.
I wish if someone else can help me out. This is really getting very difficult for me to listen to calls with this buzz sound in the back. Kindly help me someone. I had a word with some technician & he said its a problem of moisture & I need to keep it in direct sunlight for an hour. I am not sure if that is going to work tomorrow morning but I would definitely like to see some views about this problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a matter from this thread
Kindly suggest me the remedies as I should know if I need to do anything other than what I have already done.

If it is moisture another suggestion would be to put it in a jar of uncooked dry rice overnight or for longer if at all posssible. This should draw out any moisture.

thanks deedee for your kind concern but I am not sure if it is really a moisture thing. Any more technical advice if some mechanic friend is there? It would be great if someone has already faced this problem & rectify it in the past.

First of all, can you be any more specific about what section of the phone the buzzing is coming from? For instance, does it sound like it is coming from the speaker? The battery area? If you can, try narrow it down to a specific area of the phone.

thanks jadel. it appears the noise is coming from the earphone side. I can hear it only when I try to attend some call. I wonder if its because of some earphone damage or what? to be specific it is in the earphone side [in upper part of phone]

It sounds like it could be some hardware damage related to the earphone. You might let people know what sort of software you are running on your phone as well. It could be a third party application is causing it. The suggestions from others about changing the brightness of your backlight, and also about changing your sound level, is a good one. It could easily be feedback caused by a wiring issue. Hard to say. I would certainly get it looked at by a tech, or even ask the local phone store if they have seen similar.

I am using no third party softwares & I am getting this noise even at the time of booting so it seems to me a problem of hardware. I am running v15 pdacorner rom with radio 1.65.24.36, with 3.56 hard spl. I changed the spl to see if it can be rectified by that but to no avail.
It seems I need to go to some service center for the hardware as I can only manage software myself.
Thanks allover jadel for your concern..
I was probably looking for someone who already faced this problem or himself a technician. it can be described as humming slowly turning in to sharp noise.
Hope someone still comes out with his solution..

[Q] is my transformer speaker wire loose?

i found similar threads and posts but none with this specific problem. i have a b90 from bb, 12/11/11. yesterday out of no where, i lost sound. long story short after reboots and wipes, realized when i rotate or ecspecially shake my tf101, my speaker cut on, then off. when i press hard on the bezel in the middle, they come on briefly. sometimes they stay on.
any insight or answers to solve this so i dont have to do the rma process would be greatly appreciated. after purchase from bb for 299 ( cheaper build to reduce price maybe) i became an asus fan. now, i am really dissapointed in quality since other then this, my tablet is physically flawless and hasnt been dropped or damaged.
edit: both speakers do work when they decide to come on, and heaphones work. thnx in advance

I have cut out and removed my right speaker because it was dead, waiting on an order from asusparts.eu for a replacement speaker
It wasn't a loose wire, it was the connection to the actual cone that was bad, pressing in the middle of the speaker brought it to life for the first time since I bought it, but nothing I could do to fix it, they are more or less sealed and too tiny to fix

so you believe its the speakers? they both seem to work, they just aren't outputting sound until I shake the tablet, push, or sometimes face down they work

Why not just rma it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Couldn't say for sure, but it sounds like something you could fix yourself if shaking it brings it back on, if you don't mind losing warrantly opening it, but bear in mind, my speaker replacement has already taken 2 weeks and they are not expecting parts until the end of february, so RMA might be quicker, depends if you can put up being without it for a while

honestly i dont want to be without my tf. silly huh. its weird though i just discovered that like i mentioned, headphones work fine, however after i unplug the headphones the speakers immedfiately output sound and continue to do so until i change to another app. e.g.- while watching netflix, then back out and open a game with sound, it doesnt output untilni plug and unplug headphones. this seems to be the best way to get speakers to play.
they donteven seem to cut out with movement afterbthe headphones are unplugged. only when exiting out of current app, then attemptingbtonopen a new one. what is the issuer here?
im lost ast this point. rma aside, this has me curious now
id probally be willing to do it myself, if i knew exactly what i was replacing or repairing or rigging. i purchased a kit with the neccesary t5 torx, and phillips to remove bezel.
how tight should the screws be on the bottom of the tf. i dont want to overtighten. got some petty hope that tightening the screws will help. more sillyness im sure.....
this stinks though cvuz this just happened. you know? thnx in advance.
also lookimg at bluetooth speaker as an alternative

Speakers working after you remove the headphones but stopping again once you launch another app ?
You tried a factory reset in-case its a software / firmware bug ?
Screws just need nipping up, not tightened too much or you`ll either thread the holes or snap the head of the screw

Just RMA it, man.

Bluetooth

Whats up everyone. Ive checked threads with no luck...
I have been having bluetooth issues since day one thinking an ota would fix it. I believe at this point its a hardware issue, but im curious if someone has had the same issue and found a fix. OnePlus customer service is being stubborn. They want a damn movie of me explaining the issue.
I can pair devices fine. However, when I put my phone in my pocket, let's say, it begins to chop up the audio. Even in my car, if i hover my hand over the phone it chops up the audio. It works fine if I'm holding it it my hands watching a movie or something.
Is there a bluetooth.img/Driver someone could provide that I can flash. Probably wont help but im tryna rule everything out.
Thanks!!

Replacement earpiece speaker mistery

Hi all,
I know this is probably a vague question, but I'm hoping someone knows some fact about the hardware that I don't.
My earpiece speaker went bad a long time ago (there's sound, but it's very faint). I decided to take the leap, and repair it.
Went on ifixit, ordered used earpiece, installed it and... no sound at all? Nothing, nada, not even a faint like the og one.
Og one still works the same though: badly, but there's sound. So I ask them for a replacement, they send it... same issue?
At this point I think I must've broken something, so I try one last hail mary. I notice the bottom speaker connector is the same, so I attach
it to the connector up top and... it works perfectly!
I'm completely at a loss right now. Do you guys think it's possible both used speakers from ifixit were faulty? Or is there some kind of special trick to connecting them that doesn't apply to the bottom speaker? (I'm literally just plugging them in, nothing else.
Would love someone's input on this and extra trouble shooting ideas.
Thanks,
