Chosen Solution
I just had my back glass lazered and replaced. Since then i’m experiencing microphone issues. I’m wondering if the tech didn’t damage a microphone with heat. I would love for someone to help me out and tell me which mic it is. All mics sound normal when I use videos. What works Voice calls (I think, although a few have complained) Video both front and back (i swear they all sound normal, but maybe i’m crazy) What doesn’t work Siri text-to-speech Voice memo (sounds like straight static) Facetime and Speakerphone (sounds like static as well) I’ve done it all when it comes to software. Even did a complete wipe and reset. It’s got to be a hardware issue I think, Any help on this would be great. I just need to know which microphone to replace.
I would address it with them. I’m not sure what their policy is on stuff such as this. There are numerous mics throughout these phones and I believe the top one in the screen is the one that has suffered damage. You can replace that flex to at least test if that’s the issue, but in order to maintain FaceID you’ll need to have someone transfer the sensors and such to the new assembly. If not, you’ll get a message stating that FaceID could not activate as those parts are tied to that specific motherboard.
Did you get a fix or was able to find a solution?
