Microphone stops working

[mazzinia]

Ach, even more messy....

that way it should have been as new, so what I wrote is pointless.

Overclocking would have slightly stressed some components, but not the microphone, directly. Do you remember if you had higher temperatures on average ?
(and by logic pushing a bit more the output sound should not have sent more current to the input, too... this at least if logic applies. I wonder if the others used TouchVol .. or uberkernel ).

If you use the headphones set supplied with the pre3 (they include a mic), does that microphone work ?
If you use a bluetoot set, is the voice being delivered ?

As a side note, in a way this reminds me what happened to the mb of the pc i'm now using when the chipset fan failed. By the time I realized it, the temperature managed to cause some fortunately just strange damages : ALL the audio ports on the mb got swapped randomly, including the mic... with this I wonder if a rise in temperature little by little cooked something

Happens to me too, but I dont know how to duplicate the issue except that I believe the phone was using a high level of memory perhaps with too many open apps or apps that use a high level of resources. I was not using a headset at all. A reboot solves the problem every time.

I don't know if this is precisely the same problem but I've had something similar happening on my Pre3.

In the thread I created here: Pre3 phone function - people can't hear me but I hear them one of the guys suggested that I change the network setting from 3G/Auto to 2G. So far this has worked, though I've added a modeswitcher function to change up to 3G when certain apps are in focus. I'm not sure yet if it's the solution, but fingers crossed it's working so far.

Mic on the P3 as well as mic on any wired headset do not work. Tested both in call, as well as by using the video recorder.

Bluetooth DOES work.

Wonder if there is some input amplifier that physical mics use that is damaged, whereas bluetooth would use a different (all digital) input.

Just got this after I installed touchvol.. Nice little patch, but maybe causing this mic issue?

Installed luna patch as well as saved custom presets..

I have the same problem on the Pre3 and the Veer. Have no patches installed, so I think it is a hard ware issue. Will try out some of the ideas posted in the forum here but overall I'm also very sad about the microphone failure.

Let me know if you figure anything out! I still have two Pre 3's with broken mics.

Thanks!
