Like the title, there is a mic to the left of the USB-C port, but there is also a hole on the other side between the speaker & the USB-C. What is it? I got a case and this hole is blocked, should it be open?
I'm pretty sure it's a microphone. I have a Spigen case, the hole is open just for your reference
htc u11 have 4 microphone for 3D Sound Recording when record video....your case is not official try to change
The four microphones are different than this hole. The there is one microphone on the bottom, one on top front next to the front camera, one on the very top edge and one on the back bottom. The hole I am referring to is the other one on the bottom edge. I attached a photo.
The edge of the loudspeaker board sits pretty close to the port, looking at the teardown on iFixit. Tweeter for the speaker perhaps?
The four mics are shown in this pic from HTC. The little hole must be something else.

Hi, my phone mic has stop working no one can hear me.
any one know´s what is the mic replacement for the tornado 2125??
hope any can help me.
thanks.
Strange - already the second with Mic problems for the devices that I watch (all the old ones: Typhoon, Hurricane, Tornado, Excalibur and Vox). It seems that some are offering replacement MICs on ebay, but the more problematic part is to unsolder the old one and re-solder the new on the PBA.
Check first if it is really the MIC and not another problem in the radio part. Try to record a note or a voice tag to see if the MIC is working. Also check if the Headset would work to record.
The mic works ramdom, voice recoder sometimes record the sound other not the radio version is 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 try whit lot of rom´s and the same.
headset is lost but i will try when i found it :S
if you can provide me a newest radio it will very appreciate that.
thanks.
You already have the latest Radio - there is nothing newer for the Tornado. Changing SW will not help if the HW has a problem - and as the recording sometimes works and sometimes not - seems you have a HW problem :-(
Love my phone, but is old know that!
can you help me giving me the correct mic reference?
i will try to fix replacing the bad mic for a new one.
thanks.
See this thread. Search ebay for "microphone dash".
I don't know how you would be able to remove the old mic and resolder the new one. I would not dare doing this. Best option is to open the device (careful! - don't rip off the keyboard cable) - seach for descriptions how to do it - and then clean the PBA from dirt that may have accumulated there.
Edit: all identically looking HTC microphones should work. There is no reason for HTC to have different MIC in the same shape. I found the following item-ids matching on ebay:

Mic just work again xD no more problem whit that.
now the Ring Speaker stop working only work´s sometimes and sound rare :S
what is the replacement for that speaker??'
thanks for all.
What did you do to make the microphone work again?
The ring speaker hardly ever breaks, but it is the same for Typhoon, Hurricane and Tornado. It is more probable that dirt has accumulated on the speakers membrane and/or that the contacts to the PBA are not working properly.
If you had already disassembled the device you can take care of both. Check the contacts on speaker and PBA first, as removing and cleaning the speaker is more delicate to do.To remove the speaker from the middle frame you have
to disassemble the device (several manuals available around the net) to its main parts:
Front cover with LCD and PBA
middle frame (with ring speaker, camera and buzzer)
then remove the 3 black screws from the black plastic cover,
now carefully lever up the camera which is glued to the frame with a small double adhesive ring around the lens from inside (really delicate if you don't want to break it!). You could possibly skip that step, but then the next step will require you to bend the flex cable from the camera very much. Never bent it much on my devices, so I cannot tell if that would not break the camera either.
carefully lever between the black cover and the frame (small adhesive frame around the edge) and step by step pull it up to finally remove it. Take care not to rip too fast as you need the adhesive later to keep it stuck well to not vibrate and distort the sound.
now you can access the speaker which should lift up together with the black plastic cover. The speaker is glued with double adhesive tape to that frame - again care to to lift it up.
good luck!
I conected the hands free, to the cellphone and it´s worked again.
i disassemly the phone clean whit isopropyl alcohol and nothing.
only the ringer speaker works somethimes so i thinks is faulty and sound like weird
try to change for another ringer.
thanks for you help!
Ah, that is interesting The 3.rd ring on the plug (the one you do not have on normal plugs) is for the external microphone and shortcut to grounds acts as pickup/hangup button. So it seems that some dirt in the socket has created confusion regarding the microphone?!
To my experience the switch that toggles headset/normal also steers the use of the external/internal microphone. Consequently you should have noticed also the sound disappear (when going to "headset" mode).
When you disassembled the device already, look at the rear part of the headset socket. You see at the left side a gold contact that is normally closed and that opens when you insert a plug. The closed contact must be well connecting or otherwise you are stuck in headset mode. When open (plug inserted) use a wooden toothpick + alcohol to clean the surfaces. Depending on the place where you keep your phone when carrying, the socket eats grid and dust that accumulates at the rear part - so keep the socket clean.
Regarding the 3 small holes on the back of the Sensation.
My guess is 2 mics for stereo recording with video and one for noise cancellation for calls.
Any case that blocks these, like the TPU from Amzer, would be a fail.
Is that the purpose of the 3 small holes on the backshell?
As far as I can tell they are for noise cancellation, but sounds feasible to be for recordings.
I thought they are there for the antennas....
Should be easy to figure out. I would but I don't have a Sensation yet.
Block one with something like a piece of tape. Record a video and see if you loose a channel. Repeat the same process for the other 2. If you loose right audio on one, left audio on another an nothing on the third, first two would be for stereo audio and 3rd for noise cancellation.
Antenna! Take the cover off and lose all signal... The hole are how the metal tags are connected to the case, kind of like riveted to the case. Looks like one deliberate hole near the speaker though

Ok. Of course we know the antennas are built into the backshell.
Although, have you ever seen a phone with holes for the antenna?
if you look at the pics at the bottom of this review it'll confirm that their for the rivets holding the antenna contacts. also seems the US version has 1 more contact point than the EU version, by the speaker.
http://www.slashgear.com/t-mobile-sensation-4g-review-03156640/
my question is where would the second mic be?
Yup I can confirm the there are two holes that hold the connectors for the antenna (or at least the two coppery parts on the cover. The one near the speaker is just a hole, with plastic underneath it, can't say for sure if this is for a second mic that makes the video stereo..

in the link I posted you can see on the US version that one is also used for an antenna connection. I wonder why the US version has 1 more connection than the EU one.
even the standard HTC produced Sensation rubber cover I bought from the TMO store has all those holes covered except for the one near the camera lense. If I had to guess, I'd say the other holes are purely for the antenna anchors, while the anchor for the lense is also a hole for a mic. That one could certainly be for noise cancellation during phone calls while doubling as a mic for the right stereo channel
If you take off the back cover you can see where every hole is, there is a corresponding antenna anchor point... Why is this in debate?

6 holes in the backcover...
There are 6 holes total in the back cover of the T-Mo version of the HTS Sensation. I can confirm that the rubber cover I bought at a T-Mo store covers every one of those holes except for the one above the camera lens.
Taking the cover off I can see most of them are just anchor connections for the antenna contacts.

Because US one is 4G, maybe?

It's not really 4G, it's HSPA+ like the EU. Yay marketing
I spoke to HTC support and they clarified that obviously they are there for the antennas and also as air vents. The one above the camera and at the very bottom are mics. 2 for stereo recording.
They did say that all holes should be uncovered. Ironic, since the Body Glove case I bought at TMo covers up 4 of the holes, while many online I've noticed do indeed leave those hole uncovered.
Interesting about the air vents. I also have the Body Glove case as well and all the other cases at T-mobile have all the holes covered except the Mic above the camera.
I believe the case mate case actually covers every hole.

Hi,
This xperia have 2 speakers, one in the top and one in the bottom, they are the same? Because I changed them but they have the same size and I'm not sure if I putted them in the right position. How I can know if the speakers are in the right place? Like how I know what speaker is for the top
PD: the speakers work but the sound of the videos and music are a bit low
Yes, both the speakers are the same. Just that top speaker is more loud and the bottom one isn't that loud as the top one. That's because the bottom speaker is fitted inside the antenna module and to see that it's waterproof the bottom speaker isn't as exposed than the top one. :fingers-crossed:
Hey guys,
I noticed a hole in the holes of the microphone of my p20 (the mic is on the bottom left) . It is the hole next to the usb port. Can you please check, if you got this hole as well? Looks like someone has poked the sim card tool in there and I just want to be sure that its normal. Thanks!
Hello,
Do we have dual speaker at the bottom in pixel 3a mobile phones???
It has dual speakers, but they aren't both on the bottom.
One is located at the top behind the mesh located in the middle of the screen cutout. The second is located on the bottom in the right cutout.

No we do not. If you look at the bottom, we have 1 speaker to the right of the charging port.
You can test this by covering the right mesh hole that the sound comes from and comparing it to the left side.

Just to elaborate, one speaker is front firing from the earpiece and one is bottom firing from the port on the right of the charging port. (IMO doesn't bode well for stereo sound while watching a video for example)
