Hello. I have a strange problem with my phone's microphone. Suddenly it became very noisy. Even in quiet room it records terrible noise and crackling like I am in subway or something. This is how it sounds: https://vocaroo.com/i/s1VepCRTvqDg With that noise nobody can hear me during voice calls while I can hear callers clearly without any issues.
The strange thing is that this noise temporarily disappears after I install a new ROM. When I first noticed problem with mic I was on AICP 13.1. At first I thought it was last ROM's update issue so installed previous one and noise was gone. But not for long. After a couple of minutes problem appeared again. Then I installed another ROM (Paranoid) and the story repeated: clear sound in the first minutes after flashing and noise all the time after.
Lastly I tried to revert my phone to the stock ROM EUI 19S with stock recovery and even lock the bootloader. In this case microphone worked for about an hour but then it became unusable again. At first there was no noise at all, then little by little more and more noise appeared until microphone became useless. I tried to install stock ROM again but never managed to get more than couple of minutes of clear sound on recordings.
Is there any way to fix this or is it a hardware issue and I should return my phone to the store?
Try updating 21s see if this helps.
Apply update through stock recovery.

I've tried already to flash this ROM via stock recovery but had no luck. Recovery gives me error "updatefail.nopackage".

Rename update.zip on PC or will likely get a update.zip.zip and get error.

I got my S2 a week ago and I updated officially to Android 2.3.4 via Kies. After updating I can't hear the person on the other end of the call unless I have my headset or it is on Loud Speaker.
I have searched Google etc.. but no results
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advanced
Not really sure but maybe try a factory reset. Hopefully that fixes it.
If not you may need to flash again with Odin.

Yea, have u flashed any of those audio modes? Uhmm like beats audio,SRS,Dolby..:....those mods can temper with Ur roms audio. It happened to me sometime. So if u have flashed such mods, u can do a dirty flash so that it replaces or overwrite the "corrupted" files.

Yeah, and once I installed Awesome's Beats audio. Then Installed DSP Manager too lol. I thought I would have more bass lol. Naa, my sound just stopped working entirely
The rom was fine for about 2-3 months and it suddenly stopped working. Nothing was installed.
Should I still try a different rom? Or do you have another idea?
Alright. U can try vipertouch Rom. It doesn't have any audio problems.

The rom is installed for about two months and it worked just fine.

Should I try to flash a different rom or maybe it's an hardware problem?
Ooh okay my bad. I miss understood u. Try flashing vipertouch. It doesn't have any audio problems. But after flashing dat Rom and u still have problems , then I guess its a hardware issue.

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?? And is there anything I can do to fix this?? Need help ASAP :/

Download the MF9 tar file and install through odin to return to stock and start over unless you have a nandroid you can restore. Sounds like there is something corrupted in your files and it will be better to start from scratch.
Thanks can u give me steps on how to do that and should I run the pit file in Odin too? I saw that some where

Have you tried this with other tw roms or aosp roms? Also you might want to downgrade to twrp 2.5.0.2 since 2.6 is a bit buggy
Edit: here is the link for twrp 2.5.0.2 I got it from sacs rom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c9fqr1b8q63cjt/TWRP-Recovery-jfltespr-2.5.0.2.zip
Just flash it in twrp and your good to go
Also flash kernel to see that is also the problem.

So I should try flashing another rom to see if it fixes the problem?

Try going to the dialer and typing *#0*#
This will bring up a test menu. From here you can test the touch screen.
After flashing a new rom rry it as well. This will test if it is the rom or not too. If it works theee but not ar other times it is probably the rom.

I've been using ROM's for 2 months or so. Ive unrooted/re-rooted my phone twice because of recovery being extremely slow. I've started using the KitKat AOKP rom and thats the only rom that seems to crash my phone. Ill be using my phone when *poof*, it crashes my phone. This will happen every 15min when im using my phone. I was told it might me my recovery, but the only way i can root is through Odin or the goo.im app. I cant flash my recovery using commands because my PC just wont do it, it can recognize fastboot commands but it wont do nothing. I really love AOKP roms. Help please! :fingers-crossed:
Which recovery are you on? How did you flash the recovery you're on?

Don't think it's your recovery, but there is a flash able .zip of Philz touch here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42538735
Most people report better results using this on 4.3+

Used AOKP on this and it crashes before it could even finish setting up, like showing me the home screen.
What exactly do you mean crash? Does it reboot? Freeze and require a battery pull? etc...
And what do you mean by recovery being slow?

The recoveries response is pretty fast now thanks to Philz Touch (thanks btw), i mean ill just be scrolling through my phone, doing anything
practical and it will just freeze and reboot. Ive frozen looking through setting, looking at music, and just going on snapchat, its frozen on the lockscreen as well.

Sounds like a kernel or OC/UV issue. Try playing around with different ones and see what happens.

I was having the same problem on AOKP. I even flashed the 4.3 ROM thinking I would correct the problem there and then move up to 4.4. No luck. I can't remember if I was using Philz at the time though. The main reason for this post is that when I would have the random reboot, the screen would kind of start dimming out. I could see three bars of graphics that would blink out and then the phone would reboot. Sorry for the poor description but wanted to add it in case it meant something beneficial to someone else.
I have twrp installed and Pixel Experience rom(https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/leeco-le-pro-3-elite-model-x722-guides-development--and-mods/rom-pixel-experience-t3734948).
After some time a microphone starts to make loud noise like some one is blowing directly to it and also people cant hear me during the phone call.
However if i restart the system the noise dissapear but after some time it appears again.
I`ve tried to reinstall the rom but it`s not helping.
