When I made phone calls I had to put the loudspeaker on every time so the other person could hear me as the other microphone used without the loudspeaker was not functioning. I purchased a new ribbon cable with a microphone and charging port and replaced it. I then tried to charge the phone and got the following message on the phone:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Info: Charging paused. Battery temperature too low.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See photo:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nerdorturd.com\/webdevelopments\/nerdorturd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_180011.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1154 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nerdorturd.com\/webdevelopments\/nerdorturd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_180011.jpg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"20150310_180011\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The device would not charge at all due to this error. So I then put the original ribbon cable with the old microphone and charging port back in the device and re-tested. The phone would charge as normal. The microphone was still faulty.<\/p>\n<p>I did try cleaning the mic port with a small pin\/needle and this did clear some dirt away but this still did not solve the problem<\/p>\n<p>I then tried a full factory reset on the phone doing this by pressing the<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>power button + home button + Volume up button (whilst the phone is off.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can the do a full factory reset &#8211; I believe this is different from the one in the &#8220;settings&#8221; on the phone as I tried that and the microphone still would not work.<\/p>\n<p>I found that when a full factory reset was done by holding the above buttons down and completing the factory reset and making a phone call the microphone started to work again.<\/p>\n<p>So my beliefs so far is that the microphone issue is actually a software problem with Android OS or possibly an application conflicting with the microphone.<\/p>\n<p>So from doing this the microphone is fully working again and the problem is solved.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps someone else with the same issues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some extra photos that you may find useful:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nerdorturd.com\/webdevelopments\/nerdorturd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_181355.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1156 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nerdorturd.com\/webdevelopments\/nerdorturd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_181355.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"20150310_181355\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nerdorturd.com\/webdevelopments\/nerdorturd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_181101_2.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1157 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nerdorturd.com\/webdevelopments\/nerdorturd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_181101_2.jpg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"20150310_181101_2\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nerdorturd.com\/webdevelopments\/nerdorturd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_181606.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1155 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nerdorturd.com\/webdevelopments\/nerdorturd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_181606.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"20150310_181606\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 with a broken microphone which I was hoping to fix.
