Microphone just stopped working...hard to fix? - Blu Bold N1 Questions & Answers

My microphone stopped working and after doing every single troubleshooting article known to man and after going through my troubleshooting listed below, bold support set me up with an RMA number to send it to them.
My question is how hard it would be to fix it myself because especially with the coronavirus keeping me homebound for the foreseeable future, I can't go a month without my phone waiting for bold tech support to send me a new one...
(cleaned every mic hole with and zoomed in with my handy magnifying glass to find nothing clogging the input holes. I even went so far as to factory reset it to no avail hoping it was a software error After running I went through all the mic diagnostic apps)

Echo (Echooo....Echooo....Echooo...)

Hi XDA'ers
My wife got an unlocked i8190 from carphonewarehouse on UK Vodafone in November last year. As it still has relatively low volume sales I have not been to find an answer online so would be grateful for any input.
Not every time but almost, and seemingly more often with mobile to mobile calls the caller at the other end gets horrific echo of their own voice. (i.e. if I called you, you hear your own voice echoing) the caller finds it very hard to hear the Siii mini caller. Bizarrely this is rectified by putting the Siii mini on speaker or using the wired headset.
This makes me thing the mini's front speaker/earpiece is feeding back to the mic somehow. (As far as I know previous samsung echo issues were at the galaxy end and related to noise reduction processing. As the mini has no secondary mic nor noise reduction this is not the issue here). Oh the sim is fine in other phones and my 02 sim (fine in my Sii) causes echo if used in the mini.
Anyone have any ideas of a fix? Anyone had similar issues?
Cheers Tom
(read on for a thursday night rant.............)
Attempts so far; I initially updated to the latest firmware OTA (nonewipe) and no change. Then I went to the Samsung Smartservice at Westfield's Samsung store where they used KIES to update non-wipe and still no change - strangely there was no echo with their landline but then I called the guys SIII and he said it was awful.
So they sent it to their service guys (intercity telecom, birmingham) who took 7 working days to full wipe the device and reflash i8190XXALL2 (BuildJRO03H....) which I think is what it was already running.
Surprise surprise it is still echoing. The receipt said 'could not replicate fault' (If so why not contact S Smartservice or me?) Smartservice said they could not replace the phone until the third failure to repair. I tried to call intercity today and was told I could not speak to an engineer as it was a closed workshop. Therefore I should apparently send the phone back to them again with no guarantee of a different result. Brilliant, why can't Smartservice contact them to sort this out?
I also spoke to carphone warehouse who said that they need to send the phone to their engineers, if they can' t fix it it will be passed to samsungs engineers (brilliant as it has already been to them!) and then will be back within 28 days. In store I was told if the fault persists, it will be sent back twice more (28 days each) before an exchange will be considered (after phoning customer services we were told two weeks then to samsung if not fixed an exchange immediately). The latter sounds more reasonable, but the phone has done this since day one and borders on unusable. We have had it for 11 months and it has been away for almost 2 weeks, either way (intercity or carphone warehouse) we would be without the phone for 1/2 it's life by the time a replacement is offered, presuming it cannot be fixed.
Any advice if no solution is forthcoming?
Cheers
Tom
Take it back and don't give up, this clearly is a hardware fault. I don't have this issue on my S3 Mini and I don't believe anyone else has it for that matter.
Be persistent and they'll have no choice but to replace it.

I am having the same problem and sent my phone back to Orange who said they had solved the problem, with software and shielding. But my problem continued, as with Tom, until I took the cover off. This was a Supergets Black Wave Hydro Gel Case I had bought on Amazon. I have yet to discover whether other cases will have the same effect.
The hole for the microphone was not completely aligned and I have enlarged this but I am told by those ringing me that this doesn't seem to have helped much.
Maybe this helps,

S3 Caller Voice Echo Solved
I'm disappointed with my S3 Mini had it two weeks and same thing. From scouring the net it seems it doesn't matter what cover you use it has the echo problem. try this ............... while you have the other person on the line, twist the phone with it's protective case ever so slightly and hear the caller tell you how it goes away and comes back!
I think the tolerance of clearances between the phone components and the case is a problem.............. Samsung couldn't care!!! how they actually managed to take the cellular market worldwide is beyond me especially since it seems several models of their phones are having this problem!
seems like the phone suffers from mechanical feedback through the casing ( adding a protective cover applies some force to the phone casing and causes feedback!! tolerances are way too fine!!! )
I eventually fixed it myself, I took the back cover off, took some of that plastic ( pink polystyrene like ) foam that you find computer hardware packaged in and cut this to size to fit the back side of the speaker. I cut a tiny square out to fit over the mic too.......... the purpose of this is to leave some air between the case and the speaker and mic!
seems to work, if you try it and it works for you let's hear about it
good luck

Many thanks to Kramski. Initially the polystyrene round the speaker didn't change anything but worked well when I added in a piece over the mic
My friend has S1 and he has the same problem.It looks like some samsung models have this problem.
Almost all models and faulty productions, just depends how huge the issue is. Second or no second mice, still you would have to open split your phone to isolate the mic from the rest of it, align rubber mic cover part as IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN and add more insulation around the speaker as the case is resonating, being made of and is rather lightweight and not adhering perfectly to the battery and the phone body at 100%.
I cured my S2 in 10 minutes, never had such prob with it again. My kid's S2 nor my wife S3 mini presented the same issue.
This is crazy. In my Galaxy S III mini the "echoing" problem was ... in a 2$ plastic cover. Not the phone battery cover - but a case cover. Checked this several times with and without so quite sure. Also with cover case on, when on speaker phone there was no issue - so it looks like the sound was passed from the speaker/earpiece -> ear (attached to the speaker) -> cover case (possibly resonating) -> microphone.
"Drill" a wider hole for the microphone and this is gone, just 2c

Rear camera turn black when use it

Whenever I try to use the rear camera the display turns black while only showing the HUD. The HUD works fine, but the camera doesn't work at all. Nothing is blocking it either.
When switching camera modes (to manual mode for example), an error pops up saying that the "camera is not available"
IMPORTANT NOTE: The front facing camera is working perfectly fine.
Things I tried to do (aside from shipping it for repair):
1. Android repair via the PC companion software
2. Internal reset
3. Safe mode
4. Clearing cache files for the built-in camera app
5. Installing an alternative camera app (the built-in one was disabled)
6. downgrade and upgrade
7.change camera for new one (tested)
I had same situation with regular Z3. Someone brings it to service where I'm working and my first think was camera fault but changing camera didn't fix it. Near camera connection You can see some small capacitors, we call it filters. It looks like capacitors but it's soldered not only on opposite sides but 2 points on both sides. In regular Z3 there was 5 elements like this to change and after that camera starts working. I don't remember how exactly it's made in Z3c but it's really possible that it's the same issue and same way to fix it.
One more thing, if You can check one one more camera to exclude camera itself cause most issues like this are caused by faulty camera. I had many phones (most Z1 and Z1c) with this issue and changing camera always was the solution.
Good luck.
Same Here. Need help too.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
I have three cameras and two z3c, I interchange camera and phone and always the same result
At this moment I don't have any Z3c to disassembly (except mu own but under warranty) to check where those capacitors are but if You could take a picture of camera connector on motherboard and near area I can mark which one should change.
@Chamelleon
Main camera not working
I have the same issue with my Z3 compact. The issue started happening on the 11th month of my one year warranty, I sent it for repair (14 business days y + shipping time back and forth). It came back with the same issue. Sent it back right away. After another three weeks without my phone, I got it back. Guess what? EXACT SAME ISSUE!
I called their support line explaining what happened, the guy told me that there is nothing they can do about it since my warranty expired. Of course they didn't have in consideration that I sent my phone before it expired and it took about seven weeks back and forth. There wasn't any sort of damage on my phone, was never dropped or damaged in any way, I never submerged it even if in theory, that would be ok. The report said "it has reviewed the functioning of the unit, unfortunately the defect is in the PCB so it is not able to undergo repairs to it."
The guy on the phone told me what he thought the report meant. It means there is damage on the main board(not caused by me) and the one year warranty manufacturer warranty department won't repair it. Maybe, if I had bought the 2 year "extended" warranty, they could do something about it. I asked if the issue is that my one year warranty was expired or if it is something that they just don't fix unless you get the "extended" warranty. He couldn't answer me and the only thing he said was "is there anything else I can help you with?"
From what I understood, there are two completely different departments, the one year manufacturer warranty that only cover some things. Not even sure what, because if it's broken screen, water damage or any physical abuse, they won't fix it. If it's a problem with the main board or PCB, they won't fix it either. It is a mystery to me what gets fixed in that department. The other department is the 2 year extended warranty. I'm not sure what they are willing to fix there, but from what they guy on the phone told me, it's more than the one year regular warranty.
Long story short, after two trips to FedEx, at least 8 hours total on phone calls, more than 7 weeks without my phone, I ended where I started. Sorry Sony, never again. Worst customer support I have ever experienced.
At this photo I can see only 4 of this capacitors and marked it, maybe it should be four or one I missed cause quality. Anyway regular Z3 has 5 like this and after changing all 5 camera start working again. You can desolder it from most Sony phones, I used capacitors from MK16 (Xperia Pro). So find some Sony board with capacitors like this and ask someone with good hot air solder station (if You don't have one) to change it.
Any news to this problem? I bought used Z3C with black rear camera problem because it was cheap. (Yes, the front facing camera is working perfectly fine). So far I have only tried software fixes and obviously they didn't help. I ordered new camera module from ebay and I'm now waiting for it. Has anyone tried soldering new capacitors if the new camera module doesn't help?
EDIT: Here is another thead with same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/rear-camera-hardware-detected-black-t3231509
As I said I've done it only in regular Z3 but If You gonna try give me some info is this solution is also working in Z3c case.

I'm still waiting for new camera module. If the new module is not working I will try soldering new capacitors. I will keep you up to date here .
Any news??
Completely forgot to post this, hope it help someone. I made the same thing with black camera on my Z3c. After I broke audio port in my Z3c and had to send it to warranty I took my gf phone, Z3c also. I restored my TWRP backup to her phone and all except camera was working. Camera was completely black but only main, front was OK. After that I was afraid that it's another hardware problem like Yours but after reflashing to stock problem gone. I repeated it few times to check if I'm right and I was. After flashing backup from another phone even without TA and Kernel backup there is a problem with camera.
So I was wrong saying it's only hardware problem. If anyone still has this issue and didn't reflashed his phone check it first.
@Chamelleon yes it's somehow a software problem (if we could say that ). For me i did fix it.
I did a Nandroid backup for my black Z3 compact (camera works properly) an restored it on my new White Z3 compact (also camera woks fine). after restoring the white z3c rear camera shows black screen, the front one is good.
=> i did a format factory reset : didn't work.
=> flashed a TFT file : didn't work.
=> flashed a D5803_23.4.A.1.232_Customized FR.ftf : IT WORKS !
and then i remembered that my phone was from "SFR" , a french network provider.
i hope this helps also
Edit: too new account, would be nice if a mod unlocks the posting of the direct image links and fixes the links - I think they are useful as this is a common problem and i already invested hours translating russian and documenting my research nobody else should have to do it
for me it was a hardware problem after dropping it.. I even changed the camera module.
Did some reseach, russian sites have some input:
Layout1: directupload.net/file/d/4472/9andayji_jpg.htm
Layout2: directupload.net/file/d/4472/vzvgbqqo_jpg.htm
It was loose, but when i tried to push it down with a hot metal to "solder" it, at some point it jumped away and was lost because it is so tiny!
Missing part: directupload.net/file/d/4472/qmut35qt_jpg.htm
The russian site suggest this soldering of bridges, however its not clear to me if they mean one of this electronic pieces (4pins each) or also the lower one.
Russian: directupload.net/file/d/4472/ag43kmda_jpg.htm
The question is now how these (likely) filters (because so close to the camera have to be bridges, it seemed to have worked for some russians:
Pins: directupload.net/file/d/4472/k86j53hr_png.htm
Not sure if there are 4 indipendend pins or if for those small footprints of electronic devices they use only the edges and then they have the same signal.
I was not able to see any text written on those two things, however i didnt have any magnifying glass.

So I changed my camera because I thought it was a hardware failure (tried every other method before: going back to stock, wiping camera files etc.) and it STILL is black. Did you have any success with your camera?

Try flashing stock ROM based on your country as i mentioned up.

Me not (also changed the HW cam), the guys on the russian site yes (even with other similar sony).
Just check if there is something loose, maybe you are lucky and its a software problem *fingers crossed*. To me it happend exactly after dropping (and changing the screen which went without problems) so I was quite sure its HW based.

Hi basmok,
First off thanks for the research and for the pictures!
I have a similar story, phone was dropped, rear camera won't work, tried different ROMs without any luck then took phone apart and saw that one of the four tiny capacitors
just fell off and now it's MIA...
The last pic from your post (directupload.net/file/d/4472/k86j53hr_png.htm) which I assume shows the soldering of the bridge doesn't seem to work...
Do you still have that pic?
Also did you make any progress on the camera fix or gave up?
Thanks,
Ati

You were lucky, they were already in the recycle bin and deleted on the camera. Best I could do picturewise, i dont have a macro lens. Here we go, added all to imgurl so hopefully they survive longer: http://imgur.com/a/Of1DY
And no, didnt make any progress as i dont know what component they are. Normally all components have lasered some code but not sure if its just too tiny for my eyes or if they dont have it. I was a bit unlucky as i didnt have a soldering tool, so i tried it by pushing the pin down with a paperclip which i headed with a lighter --- well it jumped away and was not the best approach

Moto service center f-kd up my phone? What happened here?

Bought my phone in November and until May it was working perfectly, I thoroughly enjoyed the phone.
During the installation of the April security patch my phone got stuck and I had to reboot it.
As a result, Android didnt work anymore. Even after hard resetting the phone was super slow and full of errors.
I sent it back to an official Moto service center; so they could reset the firmware.
When I finally received my phone back, I notice there were marks on the back-glass that werent there before.
the "repair paper" said that "broken parts have been replaced".
The phone works quick again, except that the loudspeaker cracks really bad on 80% volume... and when calling I can hear a very soft but subtle abnormality in the speaker as well.
I also notice a small delay with the fingerprint scanner, which wasn't there before.
When I look into the android recovery menu I can see that this phone has a different serial number than the one I sent to them.
- Do you also think they gave me someone elses phone? Because my loudspeaker didnt crack at all at high volume.
- Is this legal ?
Simply repairing android doesn't require opening up the phone to "replace the motherboard", right?
Seems like they had to replace mainboard. Which is logical, because Android errors might have been a result of damaged memory.
At least this would explain serial number change.
And the speaker problem might be a result of incorrect assembly after the repair. (this happened once to me, when I received my Lumia 930 after the repair, headphones jack was not working correctly. It did not react when headphones were connected - fortunately, when I started to move the plug in the socket, the socket "jumped in" into its place and it started to work again)
I'd return the phone and request them to fix the problems you described. I don't think much more can be done on the discussion forum

RMA request

Advice for RMA request
practically following various tests with my device, I have ascertained that there is a hardware problem that cause reboots.
How can I procede to open AN RMA request to RALME?
Could you kindly give me some advice?
thank you very much
"EngineeringMode"
So did you already go into "EngineeringMode" to supposedly test all hardware? (i say supposedly since who knows for sure if these tests actually are accurate or not but i assume if you get an error or faulty code this will be ultimate proof to show realme) To go into this mode, you have to go into your phones dialer pad and enter: *#899#
fyi, the issue with my phone is that when i initiate a call(either by someone calling me or me calling someone) the bottom mic(main mic) does not work. I have to go into speaker mode and then switch back to handset mode for the bottom mic to work - and in case you care, i also have a handset speaker problem, the top speaker is very dam loud even at the lowest setting. This looks to me is more of a software problem than hardware or combination of both, since i already tested the mic many times in EMode but skeptical in the results - per my statement above.
I guess my answer above is not really an answer to your question, rather is just informative. GL
Unfortunately my device has reboot problems even when I have installed the clean system, example or the colorOS, or even the lineageOS.
I believe the internal card is damaged

P30 Pro Failed Lower Microphone Issue - Workaround possible?

I really like my P30 Pro but this last week callers have been complaining they can't hear me all of the call. It seems to be this happens for the first 10-15 seconds of the call and then sporadically throughout the call. I have searched the internet and found that the bottom microphone is not working. The reason that sometimes the caller can hear me is that there is an upper microphone which kicks in sometimes. One solution is to use the loudspeaker option - which appears to use the upper microphone all of the time. Apparently using WhatsApp for calls works too. I was wondering if there is a phone caller app which would utilise the upper microphone all of the time (unlike the default Huawei one). I suspect not, but I think it was worth asking. I have read of people having the same issue and replacing the lower microphone/SIM card unit but it still not working. One person who replaced the microphone (which still didn't work) suggested it might be "the analog to digital converter of the microphone signal" which could be at fault.
EDIT : Just to say the phone is still under warranty but I have a quite badly cracked back on the phone (front is fine) so I guess that may invalidate the warranty. The back has been cracked for quite some time though and the microphone issue is only recent

Thanks.. I bought a SIm/Mic board and a USB ribbon/connector. I couldn't fit the sim/Mic board as I couldn't get the connector from the phone onto it so put the old one back (the board wasn't OEM and I don't think the quality was there). I replaced the USB ribbon/connector and the microphone worked. However, the USB connection wasn't great and fast charging only worked with the USB the one way around. I replaced it with a refurbed original ribbon and all is fine. I wonder if just refixing the SIM board and USB cable would have sorted the microphone too a) why would me replacing one part and you replacing a different part sort the same issue? b) I have seen a post from someone who sorted it by applying pressure around the edges of the phone and the SIM area.
I've also started getting this problem. The other party can't hear me on phone calls for the first ten seconds, and when they finally hear me it's very poor quality. Google hotword recognition also isn't working. I'd only seen people saying they'd replaced the sim/mic board and it hadn't helped, but perhaps they didn't change the connector? Good shout, I'm going to try a refurbed cable.
Having issues with the lower microphone that's been listed all over the net, ie delay in hearing me when answering calls and google assistant not hearing me.
Two lower sim/memory/microphone boards later still didn't fix it. For me swapping out the USB ribbon connector has cured it. Just in case this helps someone.

Hi, I replaced the small board as shown twice, but it was the usb lead also shown that ended up fixing it. I'd start with that. Good luck
Hi! I've got the same issue for some time ago... just purchased a new microphone PCB and replaced with no success. Diagnostics on the phone launched a NON WORKING message
Then just surfing the internet I found this forum where I'll share results once I replace the USB charging (and more) flex.
Cross fingers!!
UPDATE!!
** PROBLEM SOVED**
After replacing the charging flex, the microphone is working FINE .
Selfdoagnostics PASSED succesfully for the microphone testing.
▶ I can not realise about what's the hardward problem but it's true it works.
These are cheap pieces, and taking into account I'm in love with this LAST-Google Serviced Huawei P30 Pro... I really believe it will last at least 2 or 3 years more in my hands!!

Glad you found a solution. I warrantied my phone 9months ago because of the microphone issue. Now it is malfunctioning again unfortunately. The p30 pro has everything i need, still full day of battery. Out of warranty now and prepared to try to repair it by myself. Trying to find how thick tesa tape i need to put it back together, which tape did you use? Do i need Best B7000 glue aswell? Havent taken a phone apart the last couple of years so I need som basic guidance regarding glue and tape.
Best regards
