Knightmare Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I wish I had more information but I just noticed it today when I went to share a Snapchat to a friend. The playback didn't play any audio. I then went to my camera app and recorded a test video and it doesn't playback audio. I don't know if GBoard has anything to do with the microphone, but I have it disabled because I'm using SwiftKey Keyboard. GBoard was crashing constantly so I was forced to switch. I called my boss today while I was at work and he could hear me. The last video that I recorded was on Sunday during Easter and it has audio. I'm using a Droid Mini, OS KitKat 4.4.4. Any sort of troubleshooting questions are welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbread80 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I agree with 0bin, Titanium backup is the way to go. But if you are new to this, then try Wondershare MobileTrans. Link Knightmare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the permissions page did exist then. One needed to open it and find microphone option and enable / disable the apps for it. gingerbread80 and 0bin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightmare Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Are there an apps that if disabled would cause the mic not to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalii Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It was such that the microphone refused, only the loudspeaker communication worked, it was decided to connect the headphones with the microphone and then just pull the headphones out of the socket!

debebee Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Quote Are there an apps that if disabled would cause the mic not to work? Probably the opposite, apps may wreck havoc on your system if installed Try uninstalling all previously installed apps 1 by 1 from newest to oldest until the mic problem is resolved ... Could be some new app is hogging the microphone.. FULL BACKUP CANNOT BE DONE WITHOUT ROOT.. Just do a factory reset hopefully google will restore your app settings. (if you enabled that from the start) Best way is just backup whatever you can to your cloud storage ..

Vitalii Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Resetting to factory settings through recovery can solve the problem but lose data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
