[Q] Microphone doesn't work. Even after exchange - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there! I've bought used Nexus 5 recently, and it had issue with microphone and cracked screen. So I ordered replacements on ebay, but when I've changed daughterboard (usb, mic, etc.), the problem remains. Everything work with both daughterboards except for the mic. And yes, i tried it with different ROMs. I can't complain about unfair seller, screen was rather good.
So, my question is: may there be another reason for mic not working, or it is nothing but defective daughterboard? I don't believe in such coincidences.
Can't get another device for test now, so i need for you help.

in-call mic not working
i'm having problems with my mic also after cracking a screen and replacing the screen then I cracked the new one and a few weeks later after I installed android L my in call mic broke my speaker phone will work but not the regular one but I have yet to find any solution I have factory reset and tried multipule roms Maybe a bootloader update I know there was in call problem on the 4.4.1 update due to the bootloader needing updated but I would think my speaker phone would not work if this was the case., I was thinking about putting my stock screen back on and trying to send it back but it was a present from my step dad so it might be a pain. I will let you know if I figure something out , Is yours al mics or just in call? does speaker phone work?

Speaker works. Only in-call mic seemed to be broken.

Internal Speaker Dropping Out

Hi all, hopefully someone might have seen this issue or at least know a way around it.
Basically over the last few days I have noticed that when I am on a call my internal speaker tends to drop out and I hear nothing. It does it constantly, drops out for a second or 2 every 5 - 10 seconds.
If I put the speakerphone on it doesn't drop out at all, so I am thinking it isn't a radio/reception issue.
I have no idea about bluetooth as I don't use it, but I can tell you the wired headset that comes with the phone is fine also.
This problem occurs regardless of which ROM I have installed as I have tested over a few different ROMs.
Any ideas ?
Cheers.
Sounds like an internal hardware problem. I had that speaker go out on a Blackjack 2 and replacing the speaker fixed the problem.
I was thinking the same thing, but obviously I am hoping it isn't. Too lazy to be dealing with hardware issues and sending it away for repairs etc etc.
I have the same problem. I replaced the speaker, I used the phone for 1 day and after that the problem appeared again. I dont know from where the problem is appearing. Maybe some one from here have any idea.
Where did you get hold of a replacement speaker?
speaker problem
I have the same speaker problem. Seems like it happened after I updated to the newest rom. Anyone else notice this?
Same here
I have the same issue. I sent the phone back for repair but they refused due to the rom change.
their OFFICIAL line was that 'due to changing the software on the phone you have used a rom image that has 'OVER POWERED' the speaker and damaged it'.
if you replace the speaker it will happen again.
what you all need to do is clarify which rom was install when the fault occured. Unfortunatley i can't help with that as i have tried several roms since to try and fix the problem hoping it was software.
hope this helps.

[Q] In-call mic & speaker dead on stock device, can only make calls with Bluetooth

[Q] In-call mic & speaker dead on stock device, can only make calls with Bluetooth
Anyone else encountered this problem? It's NOT a volume issue, it's an 'in-call speaker and mic not working at all' issue. About two months ago my phone calls completely cut out all in-call sound, UNLESS I use a Bluetooth headset, in which case I can talk and hear just fine. When it first went out, I was able to use the mic and in-call speaker as long as I put it in speakerphone mode, but after a few weeks, that cut out, too. It will answer the call...I just can't communicate without BT engaged. Factory reset and other known "try this first" solutions have been dead-ends.
The OTA to KitKat didn't change or help anything in regard to this problem, and the same problem persists in the same fashion. I am currently still stock...after modding my M7 on TMO repeatedly, when I switched to Verizon and got an M8, I resolved to stick with stock and try to appreciate getting the OTAs before the other carriers. All well and good--until your in-call sounds bugs out and renders your device useless as a phone unless you put your BT earpiece in first.
I'm curious if this is a widely known problem, as I couldn't find evidence of it being common, but wasn't sure if I was just looking in the wrong place or using the wrong search terms. If so, is there a decent fix, or did VZ just sell me a lemon? If there's not a decent solution, would Factory Reset, unlock, and flashing TWRP and a good aftermarket ROM, say CM, cause this problem to be fixed?
Just figured I'd ask the hive before I dig into it myself and end up pissing away the rest of my weekend on it. Cheers and thanks!

S7 Earpiece not working

The earpiece stopped working the other day out of nowhere... I have not dropped the phone, or gotten it wet at all (not that it should matter!) but it no longer plays sound out of the earpiece... Anyone else experiencing this issue? It makes it extremely difficult to be on the phone since I usually talk with the phone to my ear. I have made sure that the call volume was all the way up, so it doesn't seem like a volume issue either.
Any troubleshooting advice, other than making calls and seeing if it starts working?
Same problem with earpiece not working
Did you find a solution to this problem. I've just purchased the S7 and have discovered earpiece not working. Speaker works but not the earpiece nor headphone jack. Probably going to return under warranty but would be helpful if a known solution!
Hi,
did you find out what to do or is it just to send it to a technician?
mine is three days old and doesn't work from day one ...
Sorry for delay. No I didnt find a solution. I took it back to Samsung and they exchanged the handset under warranty. Goodluck.

huge problem with audio output

hi guys i've tried to search the forum but haven't found anything...
since yesterday my phone has started to reproduce audio/sounds in a strange way; they are metallic/scratched like. the problem is for system sounds and for anything reproduced (youtube/spotify/...)
when I make phone calls i can hear correctly.
anyone has ever heard about this kind of problem?
the phone is fully stock and has been bought in august...
thanks for helping
Do you solve it?
I have the same problem, sometimes the audio sound scratched, in little parts ,unintelligible sometimes I solve with the putting 3/4 times the audio jack usbC sometimes restarting, and sometimes repair by it self. I don't understand how this happen and how to solve it. Restarting /formating resolve partially, and the problem appear again.
Hi,
I faced similar issue too. But as a different an addition, my phone has same noise on voice calls too. The noise on phone calls disappear when I used earphone instead ear speaker.
The metalic noise is starts when I touch an icon on the screen in order to start an application. It's vanish when the application starts properly.
Is there anyone faced this issue too?

in my case not work headphones. After i change Miui and install Kali linux and back my headphones dosnt work with any headphones.
Finally I noticed by accident (in my case) the problem solve when I push not so hard the upper left corner, and this solution fix instantly the audio issue, and last many months until I put the smartphone in stretchy jeans pockets. That mean maybe it’s bending and moving inside parts or maybe the previous user of my phone dropped (cause i buyed used) or I dropped (I don’t remember phone hard drops) . In this time I don’t want spent money fixing this, so I still using fixing in this way. I love this phone
I have exactly the same problem. I already tried to out a replacement speaker in the Mi Mix 2s but that didn't solve the issue. The problem comes from another component. Have you figured out which component this causes?
My root cause is also unknown but might be that the phone dropped.

What I tried so far.
1. Set phone to factory settings
2. Installed different ROM (Lineage OS 17.1)
3. Replacement speaker.
None of this helped. What I'm wondering is, that everything else works fine. Only sound output is distorted.
Can you help me with that?
can some one help me with a xiaomi mix 2s audio problem audio doesnt work and even with bluetooth devices im not sure if its a software problem
or a hardware
