Microphone problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have the problem described by the title.
My Nexus 5 microphone started to make some noise when I tried to register my voice. But now sometimes work and sometimes not, what can I do? Check the cable on the motherboard? Change the whole speaker block with a "new" ordered on eBay?
Thanks.
(If is needed I can upload some voice notes)

HELP!!!!! GF's Mini stuck in headset mode!!!

Well, I wouldn't be in as deep of a trouble if this were my phone... But I suggested the Mini to my GF.
Anyway, she was using headset earlier today and after she removed the headset, the phone is stuck in headset mode. Meaning no voice coming thru the phone's earpiece on both incoming and outgoing calls. She tried the headset again and voice is coming thru headset without problem, but once removed, it's still stuck. How do I get the phone out of headset mode please???? Anyone has similar problem before??? Please help!!!

hey hi ,
There are many ways of fixing this -
1)softreset
2)turn bluetooth off! if you are talking about bluetooth headset
3)where it says enable bluetooth headset on today screen - disable it
These might help you!

The socket has probably jammed internally, try insert pull out a few times making sure you pull sharply when removing, if this fails try inserting something slightly smaller and jiggling it about. I have also used a tiny squirt of WD40 which is like an easing oil for rusted or obstinate nuts/bolts/screws, also you can buy a spray called switchgear which is used for electronic components such as volume sliders/switches etc when they become sticky and operate intermittently. This is a well known problem on the xda 2.
Thanks guys, it's not BT and this is after many soft-reset I'll give WD-40 a shot. Thanks again!
I've got exactly the same problem here. My phone is bonded to a BT headset. Forgot to bring the headset and found that no sound, or extremely small volume, was coming out from the phone. Tried soft reset, deleting the bond etc. none of it works.
Would be interested in knowing what's the real underlying cause if anyone finds it out.
Hey Solitary, I'm in HK as well and I think it's a hardward rather than software issue. Coz. if I pull the headset, the normal clicking sounds can be heard from the phone, just not during voice calls, I think the earphone on the phone is somehow dead, looks to me like cold soldering
I'm calling O2 in the morning and demand an exchange, my GF only had this phone since 1/9 and besides this, on the unit we have, the voice quailty is also bad too
Hi, CL55,
You might want to read this:

It seems it is an old and common problem for smartphones.
I've also read in a Taiwan forum that they have got exactly the same problem in Taiwan for the Dopod818.
But I wonder if it is hardware related. My problem is that I'm stuck in a BT headset mode, and I'd never touched the hardware headset socket. So either I have a different problem than yours or else it seems it's more likely a software problem.
Anyway, do tell us if you manage to solve it.
Can you confirm if you can hear the clicking sound from the buildin speaker now? Only no voice from the earphone, or no clicking sound from the buildin speaker as well? I really suspect I have a different problem
Yes I can hear all other sounds from the speaker loud and clear, except for talking over the phone.
So it seems I've got a BT software (or my BT phone hardware) problem but you've got a Mini hardware problem.
I was listening to some music through my headphones on my jam and I got a call, so i pulled the headphones out of the jack. Once i did that no sound would come out of the speakers, not even after many soft resets. I could still hear sound when i put my headphones back in, but nothing when i took them out. Then i tried making a call and pulling the headphones out of the jack while in the call and that fixed it. It must put the hardware in some bad state if you pull headphones out when there's a call?
i had this problem to but i've fixed it! hard resets doesn't seem to work so i pulled the battery out for a night and my speaker was working again try it!

autodialing problem: HTC Stereo Converter with Microphone

hi folks,
i have a strange problem with the HTC Stereo Converter with Microphone from brando.hk
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=01946&dept_id=027&cat_id=0937
whenever i plug it in, use it with earphones listening to music after some minutes my diamond starts to call the last called person.
i don't klick on anything, it just starts to call "by itself".
cost me a lot of money to "autocall" a friend from a foreign country
anybody got the same problem/a solution for that problem?
using dutty's diamond rom 1.93WWE, radio: 1.00.25.07
additionally the sensorlock program
I had the same problem with my phone.
First I've tried to change the radio and rom but no use: still with the same problem.
Now I've changed the earphone/mic by another and now it's working fine.
I got same problem, how you solved it?
This is not so rare problem and it is due to stupid function of redialing after double click on active button on original headset. When you connect your adapter and 3,5mm headset then it is identified sometimes as doubleclick and starts redialing. This function is completly useless for me and is causing a lot of unwanted calls even if I do not have adapter connected( sometimes I just doubleclick active button by incident). I would be very happy if someone could tell me where can it be disabled in registry.

[Q] Bluetooth connected but no sound

Hi there,
Fist of all, I apologize if my english is far from perfect.
I have a problem that do not seems to be very simple.
My HTC One S is running on the HTC Stock ROM, and I meet the issue decribed in the title.
The phone can connect to my handsets (tested with my mercedes system and a plantronics headset), I can start start/stop an incoming/outgoing call from the headset but during the communication there is absolutely no sound emitted to the speaker/ acquired from the mic.
Of course the volume is at max, the right output is selected in the call menu and secret mode is disabled and I already tried to unpair and repair the phone to the devices.
This problem has appeared suddently during a call in my car after 6 months of loyal service.
I've already suspected some app services to block the sound of the call (appslock, some games, ...) but my investigrations has not provided any result.
If I could avoid to wipe my phone for a so small issue that could be really great.
Does someone has an great idea to help me ?
Thank you very much for paying attention on my problem...

No mic anymore on Zp999 but voice recording still works? Is that possible ?

Hi,
I recently opened my Zp999 because i have some little dots on my screen.
I managed to pull off very delicate the USB/mic board to check the touchscreen underneath. but could not find anything on the screen.
But after remounting the USB board and checking all functions , i found out that when dialing no one could here me anymore.
Tested the mic with Z-device test : no result.
But when i record with voice recording this is still working.
Is this possible that voice recording works and dialing or videorecording is not?
ps : when i record a video there is no sound anymore
ps : google voice is not working either.
I did a full factory reset in the mean while but no result.
What is wrong? Did i crack the mic by someway...? Or connection not optimal by remounting the usb board...?
Thanks for the help.
hello friend the record microphone is not the same of the calling microphone the record mic place in the mainbord up in the right side you need to change the mic and its well work its cost about 10$ in aliexpress or to change it with galaxy s2 mic if you know to do that its the same mic.
Thanks for replying. I did replace it a long ago with a MIC board from AE. All OK since then.
Thanks anyway

Question Poor Bluetooth call quality

Greetings. I am the owner of a FYT UIS 7862 device. I have now done all the workarounds regarding the poor microphone quality during a call via Bluetooth.
I have connected an external microphone and disabled the internal microphone (via adhesive tape on the two contacts).
Here is the external microphone: https://m.de.aliexpress.com/item/1005001585070997.html?gatewayAdapt=Pc2Msite
Then I reflashed the firmware with the config.txt and this content:
persist.sys.zlink.mic.vol=9.9
persist.audio.mic.senstivity=1
persist.btmic.gain=10
persist.btspk.gain=7
Nevertheless, the call quality is really extremely poor. Then I installed a recorder app and recorded my voice. The test showed a clear sound image, it really sounded very good. But as soon as you make a call via Bluetooth, the quality is very poor.
Does anyone else have an idea what I could do? Thank you guys.
I had the same issue with Mekede M300S FYT116. This extra content is not valid for this unit, flash back the original config.txt and try.
The same for me, anyone has solution on this?
IMHO : Change the microphone !!!
I think I tested about 15 microphones (recovered from various devices) until I found one that works perfectly.

I have now ordered a Sony XA-MC10. Will report on Monday whether it works. If Sony is no good, what then?
I also ordered an expensive Panasonic microphone. But, unfortunately, I was not satisfied with him; also by testing several microphones I solved the problem. The "winning" microphone is a no-name.I don't know exactly, but it could come from a mobile headset...
I connected the Sony microphone today and what can I say: it works perfectly. Now everyone can hear me clearly and understandably. By the way, I paid 25€ for the Sony XA-MC10 new (on eBay) and can highly recommend it.
I'm glad you've sorted it out. Can I make you a question about your bluetooth connection? I also have a FYT 7862 and calls occurs without problem, but regarding the bluetooth connection: does your radio connects to your phone as soon as your get inside your car or do you have to connect it manually?
For me, the smartphone connects immediately with Bluetooth of the headunit. It takes one second.
But the headunit always connects automatically to the last Bluetooth connection. If I was connected and then my wife drives the car, she has to connect manually. The same then when I drive again afterwards.

Thank you for replying. Ok, so my unit does exactly the same but it doesn´t keep "My Favorites" on the main screen, it wipes it all, through the change. Does yours keep the "favorites" of each of one connections?
Once again regarding the Bluetooth connection: I put a button on the home screen of my wife's smartphone and mine. You click this once briefly and it connects immediately with the head unit, should it not happen automatically. This saves a few annoying clicks on the smartphone. You can easily do this via Macrodroid.
Regarding the favorites: No favorites are deleted, everyone has his own. I do not have this bug.
Thanks for that tip. In fact it saves a bunch of time! I'll see with the developer why my favorites get wiped.
Macrodroid is a powerfull one.

hi, did you replace the microphone or did you also disable the internal microphone.

I have replaced the microphone. Also my head-unit had a setting in its Factory Settings an option to choose internal or external microphone. I Opted for an external one there. But even with this setting with the included microphone and one other, the other party in the call could barely understand what I was saying. Since I have installed the Sony XA-MC10, I can have a normal call. Yes, people say there is interference and noises while driving, but the call apparently is clear enough. Maybe it is worth mentioning previous two microphones were center windshield close to rear-view mirror. This one is installed on the left-side roof-support (or whatever it is called), a bit closer to me.

Same here, it's a good microphone. My unit doesn't have an internal microphone so no interference issues.
The only issue left is a bit annoying still: The other person hears an echo of its own voice, I guess my unit picks it up from the speakers and transmits it back to the other person - the echo stops once I mute the microphone.
My voice is clearly heard (unless I mute of course).
Must be software related, because the issue doesn't exist in calls using Microsoft Teams and the like (installed on the unit and using the same microphone and speakers).

Thanks for providing the solution with the sony microphone, but I wanted to ask you about the most recommended configuration of the "config.txt" file.
Did you respect the factory settings?
Or have you modified it?
