Hi, I am having a issue with my mic not hearing anything.I thought it might be broken so I bought a new ribbon connector that has the mic built into it and still nothing.I have tried different Roms and kernels with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the phone able to hear again?
Thanks

Remove the SIM card and clean the contacts then reinsert it. If that doesn't work, reinstall the stock LG firmware including the baseband such as V21E or V21Y depending on your preference. If that doesn't work, go to your cell service provider and try a known working SiM card. After that, if it still doesn't work, it is probably a hardware problem which, for this phone, is rare.
Did you try recording something? Is this only with phone calls? You should be more specific.

Hi,
I have been having a problem lately with the headphone port on my phone.I don't use it at all for anything but for some reason, my phone randomly says that there are headphones plugged into my phone. This stops me from being able to hear sounds out of the speaker so i miss phone calls and texts. I also can't hear voices when I phone someone.
I am currently using the latest version of the "CyanogenMod (CM7)" port on my phone. Was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.
Sorry if it has already been posted, I have searched and couldn't find anything.

I have never seen anyone report this problem nor have i had it myself. I think it is a hardware problem so try sticking something in there if you want to experiment yourself or take it to a repair shop.
I have tried that before and it didn't help unfortunately. I did again just to check and it didn't help.
If I re-boot the phone it stops doing it but only for a short time.
I plugged some headphones in after the re-boot and they didn't show.
Maybe there has been something spilt on it and no one told me
Thank you for your help

Try flashing another ROM, preferably a Froyo ROM and see if it works then because it seems the problems stops for a while then appears. Hopefully that works.

Hi All,
I have this strange problem on Nexus 5.
When i call a person, if i activate the speakerphone or i use headset, the other person cannot hear me.
I tried with rooted and stock rom and i have the same problem.
I sent the mobile 2 times to LG and they said that everything is working fine. But it is not. Any other person in this forum had the same problem? If yes how can be possible to fix?
Thanks a lot

what apps do you have installed that might mess with the phone capabilities or with sound.
Hi,
thank you for answer.
I didn't install anything. It's just the stock ROM. Just installed the sim card and tried to call.
How did you flash stock? I'm talking about factory images. And this happens with everyone?
I followed google instructions. and yes it happens with everyone.
I installed now an app called soundmeter to check if the microphone is working.
When i'm not in speakerphone or headset it is working (values around 20 and 70db, depending how loud i talk).
When i start speakerphone the values are on 60db with no movement at all.
Can be a software problem or hardware problem?
I sent to lg support 2 times and they told that everything is working.
I really don't know what to do about.
i got the same its really strange...
I tried several roms, Kernals and mods nothing helps...
I have also bought a new sim card because i was thinking maybe it wasa this problem but nothing.
Is there any test or workaround that i can do to search the problem and fix it?
LG doesn't want to replace my device.
While going through the steps, have you tried looking at/grabbing logcat output? Some useful output might be there.
Have you tried another phone app?
Hi,
this is the logcat file.
Hope i have everything you need. What filter can I use to see only what needed?
Thanks

It's running CM13 CAF, and yes the mic works fine ,I tried to record it worked fine without any issue ,only the speakerphone didn't work
Try to reproduce the issue using a stock ROM. If there are no problems, at least you know it is software-related.

I've installed the stock rom ,still have the same problem. when I activate the speakerphone during call ,the people aren't able to hear me, even in whatsapp,viber...etc.
the mic works fine when I tried to record something,
Hmm, sounds like it could be a hardware issue since you have tried two different ROMs with the same result.
Was the phone ever dropped or bumped? Possible loose connection?

Hi there everyone. i need some help with a used nexus 4 that i recently purchased.
The mic does not work when i use the speaker phone in phone calls only.
i can make voice recordings in whatsaap, and other functions using the speaker mic works.
But when i try to use the speaker phone in a phone call, the other person cannot hear me at all, its as if i pressed 'mute' on the mic.
i searched the net everywhere i could think of, but only found people with the opposite problem, where the mic only worksin speaker mode for them, but not for regular calls, which is the opposite of my issue..
also another strange thing, when i plug in an external headset/mic, the whole phone becomes like one big mic, and any way i touch the phone, sounds like crumpling paper extremely loudly.....
does anyone know of a solid fix for this issue?
thnks!!!!

currently, its on ANDROID 5.1.1
baseband version: M9615A-CEFWMAZM
Kernel Version 3.4.0
BUILD LMY48T

Im new to this... good wtih computers, but just new to flashing phones. last one i tried was on my doogee titans, and it completely bricked, it wouldnt even recognize being plugged into the charger. i wasnt succesfull in bringing it back to life. i want to be careful with this one.

well i never own nexus... what i can suggest just install minimal adb from xda... And then download last known official factory images from google or http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4 here... You can ask anybod here in general section.... People are willing to help just try to talk...
i was more like looking and hoping for someone who actually owned a nexus 4 and know about this specific issue and how to solve it......
it might save me hours of trying different things that may or may not work.
thnks though if i dont get any other replies ill just start by trying your advice.
Hello guys, I have an A8 galaxy for about 4 months, today while I was on call, the sound of the microphone has become detached, trying to make other phone calls, sending voice messages or recording vowels the micorph does not work. I also tried to do a reset but nothing. I put the headphones on and then off for a few minutes everything works, so I doubt it's a hardware problem. do you know how to solve? thanks in advance, sorry for my english.

if a factory reset doesnt resolve this and it works temporarily after using the mic on your headphones and unplugging them, then its either something in the mic hole thats getting jostled around, a hardware problem thats just intermittent or a kernel issue causing communication issues between the mic and the motherboard. You could try reflashing the firmware via Odin or send it back to samsung to be serviced
