[Q] Mic problem after ICS update - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

I updated my Tab Plus to ICS by downloading the firmware. Everything looked fine, until i tried to make fring call. I noticed mic is not working. When i tried Shazam, it says 'could not listen'.
I checked mute settings and nothing is in mute. Also i suspected the new 'whistle app' & removed that too. I installed sound meter to check the mic, it says i cant hear. I did restart the Tab few times already. still no luck.
Folks, can anyone help me to fix this?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S III - No Sound When Calling or Recieving (Please Help)

Hi Guys
I have a major issue, im not sure what to do.
a have a GT-I9300, all of a sudden my speaker like muted some how when i try make a call or receive a call.
the dialer makes the beep that the call is being made, but theres just no sound, even if i try put on the loudspeaker, no sound comes through.
however, i can make calls with viber, line and skype, they all work properly, the mic is also working well.
ive rooted the phone, installed a custom rom, reflashed it to stock with odin, and nothing happens.
its just the same, i dont know what to , i need some help. ive also tried connecting headphones, its all the same.. no difference.
i dont understand why its only when i try call out and receive. everything else works properly.
Please help
This is very unusual..
Try to flash a stock rom and than do the Return To New command ##RTN# ##786#.. this should format the phone and ofcourse deletes everything on it so be sure to save your data.
That's all I could think of to do.
Good luck.

I had seen the same issue on s3 once before. there will be no sound for calling( including earpiece), music , notification etc..
what I found was a culprit sound recording app which was causing the problem. I dont know what will be urs problem but first of all check for any audio related app.
all the best
This seems like a common Samsung problem but I have not yet seen a fix! It happened once on my mums GS3 (GT-i9300) and also on my friend's GS4s (He has 2)

RE: Speakers not working

RE: Speakers not working
Hello, my 1+ was working fine yesterday. I charged up my home to 100% when sleeping, when I woke to watch a XDA video on Youtube. There were no sounds coming from the speakers.
I called my phone, the ringer didn't sound off but I was able to hear what the other end of saying. I put on headphones and it worked.
I tried resetting Synapse, rebooting, power off. I made sure the volumes were on. Nothing worked.
Yesterday I installed Facebook app and Messenger, before I slept.
Update:
Oh it works now.
I used Clean master app. And rebooted phone.
I would like to know if that didn't work, what would be an appropriate step to take?
Thank you in advance.
It didn't work again after I went back and changed the Synapse settimgs. These settings has always worked before. I don't know why it doesn't now. I tried the method above and it doesn't work still.
Update:
I cleared the Synapse data and rebooted. It works now.
This step didn't work before as mentioned above, but it worked now.
How come?
Dont use the Sound Control Lock in sound section....i was having same problem and took that setting back off
Speaker not working
hi everyone,
I appear to have the same problem. My speakers aren't working but my earphones and bluetooth speakers are.
the comments above didn't fix anything.
any ideas?
I have the same issue. No external speaker sound. Playing youtube or video clips. just wondering if other people has resolve this? thx
I appear to have the same issue. It appears the phone 'thinks' my earbuds are plugged in while they're not. That results in the speaker not working when I tried to play sound over the speakers and the earpiece not working when I try to call people. I have to put the phone manually on speaker while calling or use earbuds. I am not sure, but I think the problem might be related to the google play app. Rebooting does not work, neither the new version of google play that got isssued today solves the problem.
I could probably try installing soundabout or such app, but that's a bandaid and not a real solution, so I wait for now for a real solution.
edit: Installing Soundabout does not make a difference.

i've got the similar issue.
i suspect the MiKey for the culprit or after flashing oxygen modem
Same trouble here..
Hi! I have the same trouble since yesterday, I have tried wiping all, reset as factory settings, changing roms (from cm12 nightlies to colorOs), reinstalling audio fx and trying with viper4android.. I Don't Know what else to try.. Did you find a solution?? Thanks!
speaker issue solved
I had the same issue. The speaker didn't respond except for alarms & ringtones.
There is an issue with the 3.5mm jack.
Try the putting headfone in & out couple of times.
The speaker will turn on.

Thanks this worked for me
Yeah, I'm having these issues as well. I moved my motherboard to another OPO and it seems like the speaker I/O just doesn't work anymore. I can try these solutions, but I'm pretty sure that wiping the entire system and installing different firmwares (ROMs) would fix the issue. I'm quite vexed, to be honest.
My right speaker stopped working after taking my phone from the service center. I gave my phone to change display! My phone speaker is just dead
Speakers mic not working OnePlus X
Hii guys,
I have a sudden peculiar problem.
The left speaker as well as the mic and earpiece speaker are not working.
When I make or receive a call, the dialer crashes.*A terrible state when the phone problem affects basic functions like making calls (basic purpose of a mobile phone).
I have tried factory reset as well, But no magic!
Any immediate help is more than appreciated!!
Thanks
I had the same problem: media audio (youtube/facebook-videos etc.) was not playing through the speaker, but when I plugged headphones in the sound worked perfectly. Notification sounds were playing normally even through the speaker.
I contacted OnePlus live online support and they suggested me to download the "Clean Master" app. I downloaded it, cleaned my phone using it, rebooted, and after that my speaker was working fine!
Maybe you could try this if you have a similar problem.

Well, I can see why you think I'm kidding because I myself didn't want to trust the OnePlus clerk but I'm not kidding at all.
I was amazed too, it actually worked that way: I installed the program, cleaned, rebooted and the speaker was working again.
So maybe it was a software issue after all.
At least people can try this solution because it is so much simpler than rooting your phone / installing Bootloader etc.
Clean Master Works for Me

Surprising this works for me after multiple reboots and cache cleaning from recovery mode.
More specific information on how I go about with cache cleaning:
In Clean Master:
1. Clean junk files. Grant permission for cleaning more junk files when asked.
2. Continue to "Advanced Cleaning" and remove Phone Junk.
Optional (Found this works when camera or Media-related apps began FC-ing, along with speaker not working):
In ES File Explorer:
1. Go to APP
2. Switch from "User Apps" to "System Apps"
3. Long press on "Media Storage", choose "Properties", choose "Storage", then choose "CLEAR DATA" and "CLEAR CACHE". (System-based phone ringtones and message ringtones will not work for a while until the phone automatically regenerates this info, you don't have to do anything, just wait for the phone to do it's job).
Reboot
1. Reboot and select reboot into recovery.
2. Select "Advanced Wipe", then select "Wipe Cache".
3. Reboot System.
Repeat the above 2-3 times if the first attempt doesn't fix the issue. Usually more phone junk is discovered after second reboot.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Google Now Broken Since New Update

Has anyone else had a problem with Google Now not detecting the hot word since the app got updated recently? I can uninstall the update and it works great, but as soon as I update, it stops working. Almost like it can't use the mic when you haven't actively pressed the mic button on the search bar. I can go into settings and try to re-train voice model, but when I try, it doesn't seem to pick up my voice. Not a huge issue, but annoying as crap.
For what its worth, I'm on straight un-rooted stock 5.0.

Microphone not working correctly XPERIA Z5?

Hello everyone, two days ago, when trying to send a WhatsApp audio, I discovered that the person I sent the audio to could not hear it, and neither could I. I tried several times and I ended up calling that person. The other person could hear me just fine, so I thought it was WhatsApp error, still, I went into Settings > About Phone > Diagnostics > Test > Microphone. The microphone did not work, and it recorded kind a sound that was very similar to the one that TVs make when they can't connect to a channel, when you see the black and white flashing screen and you hear that annoying sound. I restarted it, tried sending a few audios to my sister and it worked fine. I tested it again and it worked. Today I sent another audio and again, the mic did not record anything, and when I played it, it sounded the same. Restarted it again, did the test five times, the first two it worked, and the other three it didn't. I'm pretty sure it's a software problem but I want to know if I can fix this anyway before the 7.0 release, in which I hope this will be fixed, along with the other problems I'm having with my Z5, like some headphones won't work and I have to use the app SoundAbout to force the sound to play through the heaphones and the flashlight problem, where it hides the icon that is used to toggle it in Quick Settings. I changed my iPhone 6 for the XPERIA Z5 since I was an Android user before and the iPhone just wasn't for me. I got the Z5 because I thought it was the best combination between pure stock android and good pre-installed Sony apps. I'm really having a hard time with this phone and I'm planning on going back to iPhone. I don't want to, but I will if I can't get these problems fixed.
Please help
Iv got the same problem on my z5 compact. Googling the issue has led me to believe it's a software issue. The problem is apparently solved by disabling Google voice feature from "any screen" but that option is already disabled for me.
Does anyone have a fix for this issue, please.
