Microphone goes silent during call (hardware problem)

Hi guys, I had this problem for a long time, i want to make the story very short. My microphone becomes silent after 1 minute of use. I used the stock voice recorder to check it without the need to call someone. People get annoyed because they can't speak to me. Sometimes the microphone is silent from the very beginning of a conversation. I hear them well but they can't hear me. Once i've changed the mic flex cable/usb port plate and it looked like it worked fine for about a month. Then the problem came back. Could it be the motherboard? Did anyone experience something similar? I had to repair my camera right after buying it second hand. The technician told me the phone was in touch with water after he replaced the back camera.

Can't hardware boot into fastboot.

I think I'm bricked. My shield is stuck in a simple bootloop and should be considered a softbrick. I can't seem to get into fastboot. Forget adb, that's not responding, but I'm still getting the android boot logo. I've tried so many ways. Holding the button, mashing the bettenbetter, plugging at the brick, power at the console, just about everything. Anyone figure out how to get into fastboot with hardware? If so, please let me know or I'll be throwing this out. It just won't seem to respond to fastboot. Such a shame.

Hardware buttons not responding..

Hi guys, annoying problem here..

So my buttons stopped working randomly and I'm using the soft keys as replacement.. Very annoying.

The buttons stopped randomly. I flashed different ROMs with no luck.. Done research online and few people have same issue with no solution. Anyone know the cause? Thank you.

Is the USA Moto X Pure missing the hardware for dual SIM capability?

I noticed on my Moto X Pure (USA) that the SIM tray looks like it would support 2 SIMS + Micro SD on my SIM tray, but one of the SIM holding slots is covered with plastic... Is Motorola artificially limiting dual SIM in the US? I wonder if the internals in the phone itself has the hardware for supporting 2 SIMs and it would be possible to modify this SIM tray to hold 2 SIMs or import a SIM tray from a country with dual SIM models? If the ROM on the US version wouldn't support it, I am sure a custom ROM could be made to support it (if my theory is correct).

seeking suggestions on adding external hardware buttons to execute macro/scripts

I'm a noobie looking for suggestions on how to add external hardware buttons that can control any functions on a Kocaso Mid9200 tablet running Android 4.2.2. The basic goal is to push an external hardware button and play a favorite radio station in one app, or another hardware button to stop playing that app, and switch to another app and play specific favorites within that app. I'm open to writing macros/scripts that might invoke the desired function then linking a specific external hardware button to each different script. The tablet is rooted. The tablet is cheap and does not have either Bluetooth or NFC (so external NFC buttons like the Pressy or Dimple are not an option), it only has a USB port.

I've placed an order for a PCSensor Key Fere external programmable USB keyboard and plan to build macros keystrokes into that device to start the process. I've also started to look at using the External Keyboard Helper app to tie a keystroke to invoke an app. But I could use help in figuring out how to write a script/macro that could navigate within an app and select, for example, one of several favorite radio stations in the radio player app, and start/stop that station in the player. Ultimately I'd like to push one button on the external keypad, and have it invoke the desired player app, navigate within the app to select a specific station, and start that station playing.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

No more sound, calls, mic - hardware or software issue?!?!

Hi,
I had AICP 1708 installed an from one day to another there was no sound anymore. No music playing, no calls (mic isn't working, too), no sound at all. The music player crashes when I want to play a mp3 file.

I already went back to sony stock rom and did full wipes and clean flash of AICP and CM 12.1, but no changes.

Has anyone an idea if it could be a hardware issue? But why is the music player closing with " An unknown error has occurred: 1 "

Thanks in advance

[Q] Hardware revisions and machine versions poll

Hi all,

in preparation for my kernel in some future time, I wonder what hardware revisions and machine versions are out in the market.

So if anyone knowing how to look into a dmesg log could just post what he has, it would help me to figure out more insight about the device trees used (and which ones are obsolete).

Below is how my dmesg log straigt after start looks like, I made the interesting sections in bold and red.

If you want to contribute, do the following (you must be rooted):
- restart your phone
- open terminal window and do the following commands (enter after every one)
su
dmesg > /sdcard/klog.txt

- inspect the klog.txt file with a text editor from the beginning for the information I have marked in bold.

Thanks for your help
Andi

Remap hardware keys?

So I'm specifically looking to remap the long-press of the home button to the "SEARCH" function, and simply select the Google app. I tried it successfully with the camera button, just changed it from "INFO" to "SEARCH". But that was just to test. I want to remap the long press of the home button but I cannot figure out how to do it. I'm using 4.6.4, rooted via KingRoot. I am editing the "gpio-keys.kl" file, located in /system/usr/keylayout, and here are the contents of the file:

Does Sprint XT1526 Have Different Hardware than Verizon XT1528?

Basically what I want to know is if I can unlock the bootloader of the Sprint XT1526 and flash Verizon firmware to it so that the phone will work on Verizon. If the hardware is the same it should work but of course, I don't know if the hardware is the same. Specifically, I want the LTE bands for Verizon to be enabled.

"SD card unexpectedly removed" Possible hardware problem?

Hi Everyone,

I have been using my note 3 N900W8 Canadian variant for a few months now with a Lexar 600x 64GB Sd card and have not had any problems. But a few days ago I noticed this message "SD card unexpectedly removed" and my sd card was unmounted.

1st I tried the usual power off, remove card remove battery and replace card and battery. but dod not fix problem.

THen I tried a format on the card using the phone ,a format using a PC to FaT32, a restore through recovery and a KIes restore but nothing worked. I know the card is good because it works fine on my wifes LG G3.

Then I got a different Sandisk Ultra 16GB card and tried it in the Note 3 but the same happened.

So finally I called Samsung they told me to send them the phone but I would have to pay for repairs.
I am not under warranty so I figured I would have a look first, I opened up the phone and looked in the sd card slot and from what I can see it looks like pin 3 from the left hand side over is diffenet then the rest of the pins. Whe you look down at the slot ,the metal cover has a small hole and if you look at the hole you are able to see a pin, I believe this is pin thee.

My question is do other Note 3 owner also see this pin or could it be debris?
An other thing I noticed is that when you slid the sd card in, if you are looking from the back of the SD card slot with the back cover off and the motherboard exposed there is a small metal clip/lever that gets pushed down by the top of the sd card, is this normal?

I wish I could take pictures, but my camera sucks and cannot get close enough images. If I do get a better camera I will post the pictures.

Sim or Hardware problem?

I have verizon, no idea what happened but unless i use the .101R radio I don't get VoLTE. doesn't matter if stock rom or custom. if the radio isn't .101R i just do not get VoLTE:( i had been using the M preview radios for a few months until a few weeks ago when it stopped working. and the only way to fix was to restore to stock 47Z or 48I and use the .101R radio, then i could restore AOSIP and VoLTE would work.
the other issue I am having is depending on where I am at in the country (i am a pilot), sometimes I can't make phone calls or can't hear the other side and they can't hear me unless I disable VoLTE provisioning then call. that started about 2.5 weeks ago and I thought it was a fluke as it went away until 4 days ago. yes those are VZW areas and VoLTE was working as recently as 2 days ago but isn't working now.

so is this a sim problem or is my hardware dieing? I do plan to try to find a VZW store this afternoon, but I am no where near home.

Frequently frozen phone, software or hardware issue?

Hi all,

My Galaxy S5 has been a real bear lately. At least once every single day, the phone completely locks up. Usually it's with the screen on, but other times has been while the screen is off and I can't get it to turn on. The weird part is that if there's an animation on the screen (like the battery charging animation), the animation still plays but everything else is just stuck. The only way to fix it is to battery pull or hold down the volume down + home + power buttons and force it to reboot.

This happening every day, at least once if not more. I've flashed different ROMs hoping that it was just a ROM that was the issue, but it doesn't fix it. When I flash the ROMs, I make sure to wipe everything except the SD card so it's a very clean install, but alas no bueno.

I'm about at my wits end and ready to go to the AT&T store today to turn in my phone and get a Nexus 6 or Galaxy S6, but thought maybe someone here may have ran into the same issue and was able to resolve it.

any help appreciated - thanks!
