My old Sensation - passed down to a relative - had an earlier Viper rom. After they accidentally smashed the touch screen, we got it repaired and, somewhere between that and upgrading firmware/rom, the mic issue appeared i.e. the in-caller could not hear what was said at our end.
After sending it off to get a new mic it still didn't work!
Video recording was fine but Voice Recorder or In-Call, NO.
In desperation I spent the best part of 3 hours reverting firmware and roms until finally I got the mic working again with good old CoreDroid 6.0 albeit a bit low/under water. Then I put the latest firmware on and hey presto it's working again. Still not for voice recorder but we can live with that.
(Makes me wonder how many microphones are there!).
Just goes to show that some issues may not be just hardware failures!

Urgent help is needed with my TP.
I recently noticed i had to shout louder and louder to be heard during a call but now the phones internal mic doesnt register any sound at all. This problem seems to have ocurred after flashing to Cracings latest Rom (I've been succesfully flashing various roms since I got the fone 18months ago)
Obviously i flashed back to the phones original Vodafone rom & radio but this didnt make a difference and im now stuck with a phone that i cannot make any calls with.
Interestingly if i use the wired handsfree kit that came with the phone the sound quality in calls is perfect so ive ruled out a radio issue. Similarly if i run the voice recorder that comes installed with the Vodafone Rom i can only record sound with the wired headset not the fones mic.
One final point after flashing the stock rom i noticed in Total Commander that there was three different Audiopara3 files in the Windows folder. Thinking it would solve the issue i did another hard reset which seemed to delete these files leaving me with just the "Audiopara4Voda" file - unfortunately i still have the dead mic problem and im desperate to find a solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated
anybody?
can i be the only one whose mic has stopped working for no apparent reason???
This seemed to only recently have come up.. but the handset microphone does not pick up sound nearly as well. It is maybe 1/10th the amplitutde. I've tested phone calls to myself (to GVoice headphones, other phones, etc.) and the speaker mic works great. When you take it off speaker mode it barely picks up sound at all.
When I use Evernote voice note recorder or a simply voice recorder I get similar results of extremely attenuated sound.
I do not _believe it is a CM10/custom ROM issue as this new behavior seems to have only started recently (past 2 days?) and was running the same stable ROM the whole time. I haven't yet isolated, but it could be a bluetooth problem (doubtful) - as I recently paired with two devices sometime in the past 3 days, or maybe some App has taken control over the amplification of the handset microphone.. but I install/uninstall so many apps to test throughout any given day this would be hard to isolate.
Has anyone had this issue before??
I'll go ahead and reset to a clean ROM, stock ROM, etc. and see what results I get, but I wanted to post a Q first to see if anyone ran into the same issue. Thanks in advance!

hi all,
i noticed that during calls with the bundled headset (mh750) after rough 3 minutes the other side suddenly can't hear me, but i can hear them.
the receiver just thinks that the call has dropped.
I tried also another headset (of an old htc pre-android era) but the issues is still there.
googling for some minutes i read that there was a Android 5.0 bug that gives similar issues.
I'm not sure if it's a Hardware (z3's) issue or a software issue (android)
my firmware is 5.1.1 - 23.4.A.0.546 on d6603
Hello,
I have the same issue, after some days i lost the signal, ( with the stock firmware ) the phone was never rooted.
After i send to service, they told me the phone can not be repaired because this is related to mechanical shock, also i lost the warranty.
I'm not sure if this is ture.
Best.

Google now issue. Disable voice activation on any screen setting. Should fix it.
Hi Guys,
well, the mic issue is not really an unknown to OPO users - I have never experienced such issue, but some time ago my mom let me know she has problems with mic for long time now (she has inherited my OPO), so there I went - looking for an intel regarding this issue.
I have come across some standard fixes for Cyanogen (the last official one by OPO themselves):
- blow out dust/debris from the microphones (done with a vacuum cleaner),
- remove TrueCaller, voice recorder, turn off "Ok google" recogniton (basically not a problem for us, we have Slovak language, thus no support anyway),
- tried other services - like Viber and it worked perfectly!
- tried speaker mode - worked!
So after this I came into the conclusion maybe a drop or something has damaged or something the rear mic for ambient noise suppression (maybe?).
But then I found some info the CnM is the problem itself, so I have just switched to the LineageOS (it is not really a change when I am thinking about it now, well is it?), but this has not helped, still the same problem.
I have found this too and applied too, but, again, no success.
Do you happen to have any other suggestion? How is it possible Viber works? Can be some app such as Viber used as the phone app too?
Thank you, in an advance...and I hope we will come to some conclusions here, I am wasted from all of this...

Oh, I thought I will get around it without a root, thus why I did not try any of the "must be rooted" approaches. But yes, it is fixed now, however...
This is a very unwanted outcome - the phone has been used for recording band's sessions as well where the mic array was used fully, but now calls, yes, are ok, but the recording quality is horrid - basically it was recording like when you switch a call to the speaker mode, where other microphones were recording too and giving that full-bodied sound, now it is like through a gaming headset with a noise cancellation.
What is this issue caused by, anyway? Is it because of a damage of one of the microphones?
Anyone? The rear mic was really handy for the music recording (full sounding). Is it possible to make it somehow toggleable?
Hey guys,
since amazon is out of stock - and therefore, getting a replacement device is kind of difficult - and I'm still waiting for oneplus to respond, I'd like to hear from you if you encountered similar issues with your OP6:
During calls, I can hear the other side just fine, but the person on the other side can not hear me most of the time. Sometimes, it seems some shreds of voice are being transmitted. It happened on about 90% of calls. There are calls that are perfectly fine, but most of the time, the phone is unusable.
What I could test so far:
- it happens in handset mode, speakerphone and with a bluetooth headset
- it happens on both SIMs, swapping them does not change anything
- it happens on 2G as well as 3G (no VoLTE available yet)
- the microphone works fine if I use the audio recorder (outside of calls)
- calls made via VoIP-software seem not to be affected, though audio quality on the other side isn't that great either (but that might be unrelated)
- sometimes, it seems to happen mid-call
Both SIMs did obviously work fine in my previous device (OP3), signal strength in calls is about -70dBm, both SIMs are on T-Mobile (Germany).
I'm on an A6003 with OOS 5.1.5, Baseband is MPSS.AT.4.0.c2.10-00012-SDM845_GEN_PACK-1.147963.5, bootloader is unlocked and rooted with Magisk.
I did find a thread describing similiar issues on the oneplus-forums (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/dual-sim-issues.838595/#post-18474985), but I'm currently unable to login to their forums, for whatever reason.
Can any of you guys give me a hint on what to test to narrow down if it's a hardware or a software issue or maybe even suggest a workaround?
I'm happy to provide more details where necessary.
I'll probably have to switch back to my OP3 anyway, so I could give the Android P beta a shot and see if it happens there as well.
Best Regards.
So, it turns out (*after* factory resetting and flashing Android P of course ><) that the echo test number I've been using is equally broken on otherwise working phones, so most of my test results are null and void. I'll give it some more testing...
Just a heads-up for users who may stumble upon this thread in the future: call quality problems are mostly gone after updating to 5.1.6 (and replacing SIM-cards).
I've bought a OP6 just three days ago and I've updated it immediately to OS 5.1.8 (I've also rooted it) and the phone calls problems (call drops and other person can't hear my voice sometimes) are present.
I hope OnePlus will fix the issues not so later...
Unfortunately, I can't rule out that replacing the SIM-cards actually fixed the issue - it might be worth a shot. I haven't had any issues since my last post.
