The sound of incoming calls disappeared on Xiaomi

You can't hear the voice of your interlocutor when you receive a call, and it's not a software error? The cause may be moisture or mechanical damage to the housing. For example, the speaker antenna has oxidized. Then the phone needs to be disassembled and cleaned. If the problem is that the mustache is damaged, then disassemble the Xiaomi and bend the “ mustache ” back.

Please note that dust can often be found in the audio jack, causing a short circuit. Without turning on your phone, clean the socket.

The program could also reset standard commands when loading the player, for example.

Let's fix the situation:

• We type a command consisting of symbols and numbers “*#*#3646633#*#*»;
• click on the “ Hardware ” and “ Audio ” section;
• set silent mode ( for example, speakerphone );
• you should press “ Headset Mode ” and click on “ Type ”;
• Three elements will appear in front of you - “ Ring ”, “ Media ”, “ SPH ”. We set the volume level for each.

You can install a special program that will configure the system itself. Download " Sound About ". Go to “ Media|Audio ” and the “ Speaker ” function. A window will open where you need to click “ Phone Call Audio ”. All you have to do is wait until the session ends and the signal will work again.

Another way

• We are in the “ settings ” menu;
• select “ sound ”. Next, click “ ringtone ”;
• Possible options for melodies will open to you;
• After installation, reboot your xiaomi phone.

No sound on Xiaomi: what to do about it

If there is no sound on your Xiaomi phone, this is a serious problem. After all, a smartphone is not just a means of communication, but a “multimedia center in your pocket.” With its help we listen to music, watch videos, and receive calls. In the latter case, without sound it is also difficult. Something needs to be done.

Go to extremes

They are:
1. Reboot your Xiaomi phone. As practice shows, this method helps in a large number of cases. It is difficult to name the percentage ratio. But, if there are any “bugs”, then, first of all, try rebooting Xiaomi . Doesn't connect to Wi-Fi - reboot. Doesn't play video - do the same. No sound - turn off and on your smartphone.

2. Take the phone to a service center. It's great if it's under warranty. Specialists will look and find the problem and fix everything for free. If the warranty is no longer valid, well, you have to pay money. Don't use your phone without sound.

If you need to reboot immediately, then you should wait a while with the service center. You might be able to save money.

Solving the problem yourself

Depending on the smartphone model, there are features. But, in general, the methods that can be used are universal. Therefore, all possible options will be listed below:

1. Try resetting your phone. This is done approximately along the following path: “Settings” - “About phone” - “Backup and reset” - “Erase all data (factory reset)” . It will be a shame if the sound does not return - then you will have to configure the smartphone for yourself again. But it’s worth trying this option to avoid paying money.

2. Reinstall the firmware if you understand what is at stake and know how to do it.

3. Try drying and cleaning the headphone jack and speaker. This must be done carefully so as not to aggravate the problem. You can take a small amount of alcohol and wipe everything carefully, but so that there is no moisture.

4. Redmi 8 has this problem: the speaker first wheezes and then stops working. This is not a software problem, but a hardware problem. Unfortunately, you can’t do it without visiting a service center.

5. On Redmi 6, on the contrary, there are software problems that go away on their own, or after clearing the application memory, if there are too many of them.

As you can see, there are not many options for solving the problem yourself. But it's worth a try. The master will have to give the money. If there are no other options, then it's worth it. You just need to choose a good service center.

The top speaker stopped working

These recommendations helped owners of xiaomi smartphones.

• Reboot the device;
• wait until your xiaomi phone is 100% discharged and charge it again;
• install the latest current update.

How to check a xiaomi smartphone for hardware failure? It's simple. Launch any application that needs to play the signal (for example, a player). If it is present, then from a technical point of view, the device is in good condition. It’s a different matter if the phone fell from a great height or was in a room with high humidity for a long time, then you should definitely contact a service center.

Disabling unnecessary programs and their permissions in Xiaomi

Each installed program on a smartphone needs permissions: to access storage, manage calls, send messages, and others. They can not only be useful, but also take up important smartphone resources. Moreover, third-party applications can connect to the current call in the background and do something unnoticed by the owner. For example, recording a conversation for you (if such a utility was installed).

If you have trouble hearing your interlocutor while talking on your Xiaomi smartphone, you can get rid of it as follows:

1. Open the settings of your Xiaomi smartphone;

2. Find the “Applications” item in the list;
3. Next, select “Permissions”;

4. And click “Application Permissions”;
5. In this window you need to select the following option – “Phone”;
6. In the list you see applications that are allowed access to the “Phone” module. In other words, they can interfere during the conversation to the section and interfere in every possible way. In the window, you must disable all programs that are allowed access.

There is no need to worry about the performance of programs in the future. The next time you enter a particular utility, it will again ask for permission to access phone calls. And if this is important to you, then you can give it again for this program. Also, to disable the ability to interfere with system applications, select “System applications” in the menu of this window (three dots). In this case, the most complete list will be displayed where you can disable all programs that interfere with talking with the subscriber on a Xiaomi mobile phone.

Speaker doesn't work

If there is no sound in Xiaomi, you should first check the audio settings. If the mode is active ( with sound ), then we continue to look for the problem. Above we gave advice - clean the headphone jack. If the headset icon is lit on the screen of your xiaomi , but the headphones are not connected, it means the contacts are shorted. Therefore, the sound is transmitted to the headphones, even though they are not physically connected. After cleaning, reboot your phone.

If that doesn't help, check your equalizer settings . If they are at zero, then no sound will be sent to the microphone. The solution is to equalize the value of this parameter.

If the signal goes only to the “ headset ”, then you need to connect and turn off the headphones. Hold down the volume up key. Repeat the procedure several times. If this does not help, then clean the connector with air or a chemical compound such as alcohol.

The sound on the Xiaomi phone has disappeared, we are looking for the reason in the software part

If you are sure that the phone has not been subjected to unwanted physical impact recently: it has not been exposed to rain, it has not fallen, you have not hit it on hard surfaces, then the likelihood that the lack of sound lies somewhere in the software is high.

Below I will briefly describe the actions that will help if the reason was somewhere in the firmware or software settings:

1. Restart your smartphone. This is a simple but effective method that helps in very different situations;
2. Check the basic settings. Make sure that you have not muted the sound in the settings; you can do this by pressing the volume buttons and expanding the menu to full view;
3. Update the firmware to the full version. If you've been using your smartphone for some time, you've probably had firmware updates coming out for it, and most likely you installed them when you received a notification about it. This is called an over-the-air update, its peculiarity is that it includes only the required software part, which has been modified compared to the version of the software that is already installed on the phone. And those modules that have not been changed are not included in the installation package. This allows you to significantly save on traffic, which is especially important in cases where you use cellular networks to download the update. However, such a modular design can sometimes fail after installation, so I recommend installing the same firmware version, but in full version. How to do it is described in detail here. Don’t worry, the procedure is automatic, you just need to run it and wait for it to complete, your data will not be deleted, everything will remain safe;
4. Reset to factory settings. This is a last resort and I do not recommend using it until you have tried all other methods. I don’t recommend it, because all the data will be deleted and you won’t be able to get it back unless you make a full backup either to the cloud or to your computer before starting. However, although this is the longest method, it will also allow you to hope that the sound will return, because it deletes all settings, applications and files that do not relate to the firmware, which means that even if a failure occurs somewhere, it will disappear and the full functionality of the smartphone will be restored.

On the Internet, I came across additional options for why sound disappears on Xiaomi and descriptions of recovery methods, but they either look far-fetched and frivolous, or are related to smartphones five years ago. Now it’s impossible to even find the menus and options that are described in the articles, because the menu structure in modern MIUI has undergone significant changes and modifications.

Let's move on to physical reasons.

Disassembling the xiaomi device: moisture ingress

If your gadget has been damaged by moisture penetration, the first thing you need to do is turn off the power. Let's try to dry the device with a weak stream of hot air. A hairdryer is perfect for this purpose. Then take a soft, lint-free cloth and wipe the microphone. Connectors damaged by moisture can be cleaned with cotton swabs.

If “ drying ” does not help, then you can resort to another option. Carefully disassemble the case and remove the battery. Dry the internal components thoroughly. After these manipulations, you should take the smartphone to a service center for testing and replace the damaged elements.

Disassembly of the device

If your xiaomi is under warranty, it is easier to take it to a service center. Removing the back cover of the smartphone is carried out using an old plastic card. We recommend watching videos on YouTube showing the analysis of your phone model. We carefully disassemble the device and gain access to the desired microphone ( top or bottom ). Check the integrity of the contacts. If necessary, treat the contacts with an eraser or heat the soldering area with a special hair dryer. Further actions depend on the specific model of the device and its component base. If everything is done correctly, then in 30-40 minutes you will return high-quality sound to your mobile device.

Detailed algorithm:

• We take out the compartment with the SIM card;
• unclip the cover around the perimeter;
• we see the fingerprint scanner panel, and carefully disconnect this tape;
• unscrew the bolts on the protective panel;
• clean the contacts with an eraser and use a soldering iron;
• install a new speaker (if necessary).

Attention: disassembling a xiaomi phone voids the manufacturer's warranty.
