No sound on Honor phone, what should I do?

Reasons for no sound on Honor phones

The reasons for the lack of sound on Honor can be of both software and hardware nature. And sometimes it is quite difficult to immediately determine what exactly is the culprit of the dysfunction.

Typically, the most common causes of sound loss include the following:

Honor's phone is experiencing random malfunctions;
The sound is accidentally turned off by the user (in the settings or the Do Not Disturb mode is activated);
External headphones are connected to the phone, or due to a clogged audio jack or system failure, the phone thinks that the disconnected headphones are still connected;
The sound problem is caused by an application. The most common reasons are the audio player, equalizer and other relevant software; One of the reasons for the problem is the audio player on your phone
The audio speaker of the phone is physically damaged (out of order);
Poor quality smartphone firmware (usually custom);
Phone hardware failure (water got in, etc.).

How I solved the problem with long ringtones on iPhone

We all know very well one of the key features of iOS - it is the inability to easily make a ringtone out of any song downloaded onto the device to replace the poor sounds pre-installed on our iPhones. While Android owners effortlessly change many ringtones on their smartphones, owners of Apple handsets are content with the notorious “Intro” and other classic and not so classic sounds from Cupertino developers. iPhone owners can be easily identified by these melodies that please the ear.

Putting your own ringtone on iPhone for free is not an easy task.

It has even become something of a cult sign of iPhone ownership. The owner of the device simply does not fundamentally change the default ringtone. Once upon a time something similar happened with a very famous melody from Nokia.

Force restart your phone

A forced reboot of your phone can help restore sound on Honor. Instead of a traditional reboot, perform a forced reboot by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds

. After the system reboots, check the sound on your smartphone.

Rebooting Honor with external headphones connected to the audio jack may also help. Sometimes the smartphone does not correctly perceive the disconnection of the headphones, and continues to consider the disconnected headphones as connected and send sound to them. In this case, we recommend turning off the phone, connecting headphones to them via a 3.5 jack, and then, when the phone boots up, disconnecting them.

Close the problematic application and check the sound again

If your Honor phone has no sound only when using one specific application, then the problem may be due to a bug in that application. Try deleting the cache of this application, and then check the operation of the program.

To do this you will need to do the following:

Go to your Honor's settings;
There, open Application Manager;
Select the appropriate application and tap on it;
After entering its settings, click on “Memory”;
After entering its settings, click on “Clear cache”.

If nothing happens after clearing the cache, delete the app's data. This will refresh the application as its settings will be returned to their starting state.

The last step in this case would be to reinstall the application. Remove the application from your phone as usual. Reboot your gadget, and then reinstall this application from the digital store.

Low quality volume

In this case, the problem is that the mobile phone does not hear at the desired quality. It doesn't matter if its volume is high, if there is distortion or metallic sound problems, the experience will be disastrous. Also in this case we have several tools at hand.

Change settings

In EMUI Options on our Huawei mobile, we will have to enter Sound and vibration options. At the bottom we will see a menu that gives access to additional sound settings. Here we will look at an option called Stereo+, which makes the mobile listening experience better if we put it in a landscape orientation, which helps you a lot when you are enjoying music or multimedia content.

Activate Dolby Atmos

Many Huawei phones are compatible with Dolby Atmos, which improves sound quality by changing certain technical parameters. The option is located in the settings menu, in the “Sound and vibration” section. Inside we will see the Dolby Atmos option, which allows us to activate three different settings to optimize the sound:

Smart : Automatically optimizes sound to ensure you always get the quality you want
Cinema - Creates surround sound and keeps voices clear when you enjoy multimedia content such as movies, TV series or TV shows.
Music : in this case, the sound quality will improve when we listen to music received from services such as Spotify or downloaded from our terminal.

Remove the problematic application

You can also boot your Honor phone into Safe Mode. In this mode, no third-party application works.

Do the following:

Turn off your Honor;
Press and hold two keys at the same time – volume up and power button;
When the Honor logo appears, release the keys;
A menu will open. Using the “Volume Up” key, select “Safe Mode” and press the power button;
The phone will boot into safe mode. Check if there is sound.

If there is sound, then the reason why the sound is missing is one of the third-party applications that you installed on your phone. It remains a step-by-step method of disabling (uninstalling) such applications (start with the most recent ones installed by you), identifying the culprit and removing it from the device.

To exit safe mode, restart your phone as usual.

Help, the microphone only works on speakerphone, honor, Huawei nova 3

I’m sitting in self-quarantine, repairing equipment at home, temporarily dragging almost all of my service home to complete unfinished orders. I have 100% adequate and understanding clients, but there will always be that 0.001% who will spoil these statistics. The story began on March 10, when I accepted the phone for repair. The idea is simple - extract data from a phone that has been to the service twice. A common practice in my service. Since the demand for my services significantly exceeded my ability to do everything on the spot (on average, they brought 7-10 devices a day every day), the queue for complex repairs increased to a week of waiting. After the appointment, I quickly inspect the phone on the same or the next day and if there is a typical breakdown, in most cases I repair it in less than a day. If something is very fancy or it’s not clear exactly what’s wrong with the phone, then I leave it in the queue for complex repairs. That's where this phone ended up. Initially, the price tag was already agreed upon for possible options. The simplest and most inexpensive is to extract data through a programmer directly from the memory chip. The phone was originally a shock resistant device with little moisture penetration. Upon inspection, I found flux under the processor and memory. Many people do this as a diagnostic step to start the phone, download the data and see how it works. Here, apparently, such a story did not work out and was given away without repair. The phone showed no signs of life and I decided to immediately remove the memory and read the data. It turned out that the data is encrypted and in this case, in order to get contacts/photos, you need to start the phone in the minimum working state, enter a password or pattern, and there are already standard copying options. So, on this phone the chip turned out to be a combine, consisting of RAM and permanent memory. One contact was also broken under it, which I immediately restored. Did not help. But the phone began to be detected in emergency mode, that is, there is no processor-RAM-ROM connection. I replaced the controller to check, but all in vain. I called to coordinate the purchase of a donor. A couple of weeks later I found it (the phone is not so popular from the protected Blackview series), went after work hours and bought it. I threw it in, but there is no image there, but there is a backlight and you can see from the sounds that the donor board is starting up. This means the display was also damaged. I call and say this and that. Well, the client decided to look for it himself. Well, at the end of March everyone went into isolation together. A couple of weeks later he called that he found it and when you open after May, I’ll deliver it. OK. Then they announced that we were sitting until the end of May, and here’s a call that really infuriated me from such impudence: K: hello, I’m talking about an order with data, we talked there about what we’ll do after May.

Me: Now I work from home and I didn’t take your order, because at that time there was no donor and rolling all the devices back and forth would lead to the consequences of completely breaking them. Now after canceling the mode.

K: Well, you said that you would work after May.

Me: Unfortunately, I don’t decide when everyone goes to work.

K: Well, there are no restrictions on movement, take a pass, bring it, I’ll drive up and you’ll do it.

Me: I won’t go because I don’t want to break the rules.

K: Why? Still, they go out, go to work, get a pass and that’s it. I've been waiting for 2 months, but there is no result.

Me: I won't risk my health over this. I'll do it after the regime is cancelled.

K: Then give the keys to someone and send the person to bring it.

Me: Do you want me to give the keys to the service, which contains some of the client phones and my equipment?

K: Well, yes, but what’s wrong with that? Either go yourself, or then give the phone back.

Me: Okay, after canceling the regime, you will come, pay for the diagnostics and pick it up without any problems.

K: I want to pick it up today or tomorrow. I won’t pay for diagnostics, you didn’t do anything.

Me: Well, how’s it going? I told you what was faulty and what needed to be done to fix it, I bought a board and checked that the display was faulty.

K interrupts me sharply: Listen, we agreed that we would look for a donor together. I found it, but the fact is that you bought the board and didn’t say that this was your problem.

Me (at this point my mind exploded): I called you earlier and said this. Okay, let's do it the way you want. To hell with this diagnostic, and I’ll find somewhere to attach the board, but I won’t expose myself to the risk of getting sick because of some kind of phone. It's not worth it. You can pick up your phone without diagnostics, but only after the mode is cancelled. All the best.

I didn’t argue further and simply ended the call. I'm waiting for a negative review) But this is most likely an exception and fortunately I have very few such clients. But I’ll tell you a story completely opposite to this one: A man called and said that he needed to get data from a broken phone. He outlined the situation to me and I immediately said that a donor would be needed. A week later we met and he told me this:

Nova 2i. Here's what you need to take the data from:

Just what is needed to transfer credentials) Processor-memory-RAM. I remove the processor and memory chip from the broken board:

Part of the compound remains on the chips. I defend him:

Well, the output is almost clean)

First of all, I check the memory chip for serviceability using this programmer:

When reading memory with encrypted data, you can see all the partitions, but the partition with the data will either show that it is encrypted, or it will not be visible at all:

The chip is alive, which means it’s time to put it on the donor) Since I’m not a supporter of tinning contacts on logic chips, in order to avoid unnecessary heating I immediately do tinning through a stencil and reapplying the paste. Here is the initial application of solder paste:

But what happens when you roll it through a universal stencil:

You can see the balls stuck together and the lack of food. I clean off all the excess with a scalpel and apply more solder on top:

Usually two times is enough to tin the gray contacts on the chips. After this, a little pressed solder remains between the balls, but they are easily removed with a scalpel. The output is this:

It’s as if it just came from the factory) I take out the donor board and unsolder all 3 chips. I will remove the RAM so that when soldering the contacts under it do not fall off:

I clean off all the excess solder and solder all the microcircuits at once:

I connect to charging:

And then there is sadness. Consumption is only used to start the controller, and the controller in this case is either on defense or does not know what to do, since the processor is not seated correctly on the board (not enough). I take it apart again and find a short circuit near the operative. I remove the RAM chip and the short signal disappears. The chip has shifted by 1 row of contacts. I stupidly missed it, since the markings on the board were made for several chip sizes. It happens xD. Since I don’t work with video cards and laptops yet (there’s no room for the necessary equipment), I don’t have such a stencil and had to roll the balls manually:

Look at these smoothest balls in the world xD:

I roll it and seal it again. I launch from the button:

That's all, the data is in place. They didn’t give me the password to check whether the processor was properly sealed, so I give it like this:

I needed a password to check all the equipment, because after a processor reboot, for example, cameras may not work, or there will be no network, or maybe I won’t be able to see the memory card. Anything may not work. If, for example, they don’t let me check, then I give out the phone without guarantees on the performance of the secondary equipment. And if it later turns out that, for example, the cameras never worked, then for subsequent assembly/disassembly/rework I charge the full price for the reworked work. This kind of simple repair at home can be done in 3 hours at best, provided the proper spare parts are available.

You can contact me using my Google nickname, and you can also find me on Instagram/Viber/Whatsapp/Telegram.

Don’t get sick and don’t be nervous) Everything will be fine)

See you.

Clean your phone speakers

Speakers get dirty and clogged with dirt or dust, so a little cleaning can make the sound clearer. Before cleaning the speaker, turn off your smartphone and remove the battery. To effectively blow out the speaker, use a can of compressed air.

After blowing, you will see some lint and other similar debris. You can vent the speaker without having to open the case. However, do not attempt to clean the speaker unless you are familiar with the smartphone hardware or your device is under warranty.

Reset your Android device

Reset Android settings

As they say, also an option. Quite often, when music does not play on gadgets, the cause may be a fairly simple, uncomplicated problem. In most cases, there is no need to call specialists, rummage through the phone for a long time and take other radical methods.

As we already found out above, to solve the problem, it is enough to reboot the device or change the track name to a shorter one. In this case, try simply resetting the gadget to factory settings, but you probably know that this will return your gadget (its software) to the state in which you bought it.

True, there is no absolute guarantee that this will help. Sometimes it is necessary to take more radical measures. But don’t despair, in any case we can solve the problem, unless your gadget has real physical damage.
