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.
So the headphone icon is blinking...it's the icon that looks like the headphone/mic combos that football coaches wear. And of course, it's blinking. I tried blowing compressed air in there, but that doesn't work. Ringtones are going in and out when they play because the phone thinks I'm plugging in and out a mic I guess. How do I make this stop?
I read that you can try to clean it with alcohol. Rubbing alcohol? Worst case senario I can try to get a warranty exchange I guess, but I'd rather try to fix it first.
Ideas?
blowing the compressed air in there was probably the worst idea due to all the moisture, may void those water sensor things, not sure what they are called.
good luck!
There is a small speck of dirt that is wedged into one of the holes in the earpiece speaker. Any tips on how to remove it? I tried sticking some tape over the speaker and hoping the dirt would stick to that but its wedged in too tight.
Take the ends off a ball point pen, place the smaller end over the affected hole and suck it out.
You may swallow whatever it is but i'm sure you'll be fine
Try with a Can of compressed Air. It might help.
use vacuum cleaner. you can start with those small ones for cleaning laptops.
Use a Q-Tip
This should be a lesson that while playing around with ROM builds, a problem that shows up and runs across different ROMs that did not once exist before, is probably a hardware issue. I thought I had a ROM that would drop my call audio randomly. Using ADB I noticed the headset jack was calling focus right as I lost my in-call audio. I then found out I could not get sound such as music from the device other than incoming ring and notification sounds. But even this was sporadic.
This is a short guide on how to completely clean your headphone jack to eliminate debris before resorting to a hardware replacement of the jack and flexible cable part which requires soldering.
Symptoms:
1. Audio such as system sounds and music do not play through the speaker, but all sounds do come through a pair of headphones. Incoming call and message notifications do play through the speaker still. This may be sporadic or may happen all at once.
Steps to resolution:
1. Use compressed air to attempt to clean out debris or water.
2. Disassemble phone using a guide such as one to replace the screen digitizer. Only go so far as removing the mainboard. Try this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rXX7Rm4gnA&feature=related
3. With tweezers remove the blue tape covering the bottom end of the jack. Mine was packed with dirt and was causing a short between the metal plates (both sides circled in red in this picture).

4. Use compressed air to remove debris. Here was the dirty tape removed.

5. Take a dish of 70% isopropyl alcohol and with Q-tips and clean all contacts around the jack. I even stripped a bunch of cotton of one of my Q-tips to get it inside the jack itself.
6. Use compressed air and gently blow air around and inside the entire jack for a good minute to evaporate all of the alcohol.
7. This is hardest part IMO, but using packing tape cut a large square piece out. Then from that square trace out a replica of the dirty tape you removed. You will want to do this to keep debris and water from easily getting into the phone again. Here is my finished product.

Good Luck!
Thanks! Hope I'll never need to use this, but in the case anyone else does this is awesome.

In the last 6 months i had very low volume during calls, I was sure it was a Rom-related issue but even when moving from a AOSP-based rom to a sense one it didn't help.
I've tried the method with cleaning the earpiece with tooth brush - didnt help. so I've took a needle and just entered a few milimeters into the holes of the earpiece, while making a circular movement inside of it.
And now the volume is so strong that i need to put the volume lower it to the middle!!!
Just wanted to let you know in case it's your case too.
FYI: IM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU INSERTED THE NEEDLE IN A WRONG WAY AND DESTROYED YOUR SPEAKER, ACT WITH CAUTION!

Can you take a picture of the earphone holes you poked? I replaced my earspeaker while I replaced my cracked screen but the replacement speaker was worse so I swapped back to the OEM one.
I have an idea how the speakers look underneath but would love to know which holes you worked on to enhance the sound experience.
Nothing to photograph here, its not a mods just cleaned the holes of the housing.
