HELP! Accidentally poked microphone hole at the top. Mate 10 pro - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

I'm previously using s8 so I accidentally poked the microphone hole. Thought it was a simcard slot.
Will this affect the IP rating? How do I test if I damaged something?
Thanks!

can't tell.. maybe you just poked the material not the entire mic, because the mic itself inside must be sealed. that material on the top of the mic is to keep dust and dirt away.. again it depends on how deep you pushed.

To check if the mic is damaged you can use the recorder app in normal mode, and make a recording of you first talking with the top of the phone directed to your mouth and that the bottom.
Listen back to the recording with headphones.

What was the result? Is it OK?
DUDE..I did the same thing on the same phone for the semi same reason (Samsung). So..what happened?...is it fine?

hahahaha welcome to the club, 'been there done that' and the worst part is that I've done it more than once. Apparently it wasn't deep enough as to cause serious damage ! Lately the Huawei and the Note 9 are sharing the same sim card so things like that happen.

I do feel a bit better reading this....I did poke it a couple of times and pretty hard too...but I think its fine..I did the recording test and there is more noise on the bottom mic than the top..and they both work when the other is blocked...lmao...sure gave me a fright

did the phone will still waterproof after poked the hole

lel, just did the same. how dumb design is it to have the hole the same size and shape ffs.

why dumb design? you can clearly see that the mic is on the top as there is NO tray, which is obviously on the left ... damn xD

It's on the top of Samsung S7, Note 9... so... yea, unless it's an industry standard, it's NOT okay to do this IMO.

who knows? this is not a vivo forum, but Huawei. also you can try to find a teardown video or so for your phone, so you could see the internals.

Ejector tool cannot damage mic...
Cool video... this answers the age old question, "I mistakenly poked the mic hole with the ejector tool, did I damage the mic?"... The answer is no... I'm sure all phone manufacturers thought of this... on pretty much every phone, the actual mic is off to the side internally...
YouTube: at about 3:52 into the video.

Need HELP With Galaxy SIII Earpiece

Hello there. I have bought my Samsung Galaxy SIII a few weeks ago ( about 2 weeks if I'm nt mistaken) and I love it very very much. And I've also bought some case to protect it since the 1st day. And currently I'm using the case mate pop for it. However, today when I take a look at my SIII I found out that the the earpiece is slightly slanted to the right and it formed a quite a huge gap. And between those gaps I can see something silver and chrome like inside of it. I think it is the inner parts of the phone related to the earpiece. I have no idea how this happen because I'm using my SIII everyday untill today I noticed this.
I've never dropped my SIII and I take very good care of it. The only thing I did was taking out the case mate pop and I applied slight pressure to it because it was a little hard to take off. I'm wondering is this the reason that causes the slant and gaps? And I wanted to know if others had the exact same problem or am I thinking too much and didn't notice it the 1st day until today? I'll attach some pictures so you guys can take a closer look. I need some advice guys I'm desperate! Thanks in advance.
*EDIT* I also found out that I can slightly move the earpiece. Just a little bit. But still I cant make it to close the gap and that silver thingy. Is it suppose to be a little bit loose?
You have only one advice outside of ignoring it .

Thank you for the quick reply. Yes I'm still under warranty. Should I tell them it happened or I made it?
Not sure what u meant by case mate pop... but I wouldn't tell: most repair consultants wouldn't know unless its clear u used a screw driver to move the eat piece.

The case mate pop is a case for the S3 which is made in Taiwan. It's quite popular in youtube alot of people are doing reviews for it. I put the case in it and it was easy. But then when I tried to take it off it was hard. So I have to apply slight pressure on the top of my phone.
Do you think that the pressure is what causes this? And do you have the silver thing on the right corner of your S3? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I understand this correctly. Can this "silver thing" be seen inside of the 3.5mm jack input, or on the far right corner of the S3? If it's in the headphones port, it could be the connector for the jack-plug you see, which is normal.
Could you by any chance provide a picture of the damaged area?

I've look into the 3.5mm jack input and I can't seem to find anything related to it as the silver thing is on the right corner of the earpiece. Just below it. And what do you mean on the far right corner?
I think everything is normal in the 3.5mm jack input. Yes I've attached some thumbnails in the 1st post. I wanted to know if anybody has this problem or isit only my S3 that has this? Its wierd I don't notice it until I remove my case and it appeared out of no where. It's quite visible too.
I never see it before when I'm not using the case. I tired to push the earpiece and it seemed to move a little but I cant get it to cover that silver thing. If you look closely at my thumbnails, you can see that the earpiece is somehow slanted a little bit which is the reason why the silver thing is visible. It's underneath the earpiece. Thank you.

Microphone... Does it just not work for standalone use?

I have not been able to have any calls where the person is able to hear me properly. Is this a lost cause?
The mic works fine, clear and with good volume, on mine. There might be some white sealant clogging up the mic pinhole on yours. There was on mine, but I removed it carefully while cleaning the sim slot. If you are not really careful, you can puncture the seal at the back of the mic pinhole, destroying any hope your watch would have of surviving even a brief immersion, so you have to be really careful !
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Thanks...that is helpful. I seem to have poor quality on phone calls and Google search, but reasonable on the voice record function. What did you clean it with? From the outside or inside (back off)? Any advice was helpful...I was considering puncturing the seal in hopes of improving sound!
That might actually help, but probably is unnecessary and is irreversible. I am glad I did not puncture the seal.
I cleared mine out when I first got it, back really early in February with a sewing needle. I had to clean the sim slot out anyway because the same stuff was spilled or overflowed into it so I couldn't get my T-Mobile micro sim to seat. I cleaned it with a bright light shining into the hole from the outside and did not open the back. I was able to pry out of the pinhole a couple of mm of the white stuff that seemed to be almost completely blocking the pinhole, then I noticed a grayer flat material at the back of the hole and stopped then.
Mic works flawlessly now, still, for all uses. Even my mother can understand me clearly when I use the TrueSmart as a standalone phone w/o headphones (though BT headphones work too). OK Google is as accurate as on my Nexus devices, which is pretty accurate. Good luck, and proceed with caution.

Okay that was miraculous! Followed your suggestion and used a sewing needle to remove any white stuff down the mic hole, and it went from crackly mess to crystal clear call quality just like that. Thanks for the suggestion.
Uh-huh ! Really good. Told you so, Mr. Lokifish !
(You were right about the seal though. I had missed that...)
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
umm... you guys are all removing the sealant? half of it? based on Lokifish photo there is maybe 2mm of it. Do you care about "water resistant"? I am not going to use a needle on it... I hope the firmware gets fixed. Thanks all.

What's the "white" stuff you mention. Sealant? I haven't come across any of this on my EU 1/8/2100 version. Is it visible at all from the outside on the mic slot as I don't see it at all. I would adjust it but everyone I've spoken to with my device can hear me perfectly so I probably won't play around with it.

You would see it if you removed the back plate - it is the stuff used to seal where the antennas run through the watch body into the band.
Sometimes the worker assembling a particular TrueSmart got sloppy and the same stuff winds up fouling the sim slot or the mic pinhole or both. If it is blocking the mic pinhole, the audio picked up can sound to someone hearing your voice on a call muffled or garbled. Carefully cleaning out the mic pinhole without damaging the special plastic seal at the very back end of it can immensely improve the mic audio quality.
Since your mic pinhole is clear, there is no reason to stick a needle in there ! Also, your mic seems to be working fine already, which makes sense because its pinhole is not plugged by sloppy assembly work.
If you don't see that the pinhole is blocked inside up to near the surface with white stuff, and your mic is working fine, you don't have this problem that many others do have.

I haven't opened up the back yet so was wondering if this was visible from the outside of the watch! Thanks for letting me know what to look for though
Yes, you can see it, if its there, by shining a bright light into that pinhole from the outside, but it's hard to tell if what you are seeing is really the flat plastic seal that is supposed to be there at the very back end, a mm or two inside, or if it is really blocking debris !
You don't want to damage that real seal ! Its all the way through the body at the back, though.
In my case, the misapplied white sealant had pretty nearly filled the pinhole to the outer edge. It came out as a little mm long plug, using a needle and tweezers.YMMV...

Yeah ok I've definitely got nothing of the sort then from observing the outside. Looks like it's more a QA issue with the build quality. Also I almost had a minor heart attack I scrapped the screen face of my watch along a metal frame. I thought sh*t it's scratched it. Went to look at screen in the light NOTHING. Still perfect so I'm glad to report the Sapphire Glass does it's job. Haven't worn a watch in years I got to remember not to walk too close to walls etc! :silly:

Thanks trent999, after cleaning out the mic pinhole on my truesmart the mic actually works pretty good now.:good:
The Omate Truesmart project in theory was a terrific idea, and had it implemented, marketed, produced under quality control, and supported the product I believe it could have been the beginning of good things to come for Omate.
But instead Omate simply bungled badly their first project to the point I think it's reputation is so damaged Omate will simply fade into the sunset. Such a shame.
Had it not been for the support of all the individual xda developers hours of thankless support of this device most of the truesmarts would be now residing in landfills.
Again thanks trent999 and a BIG SHOUT OUT THANK YOU to everyone at xda who supported this project.

How silly was I, did I destroy the IR hole?

Hi, everyone,
I purchased my Galaxy s6 edge a few days ago. I loved it when I unboxe it. Everything is perfect and fulfill my expectation.
I was so excited that I become stupid and my brain stopped thinking. I thought the Top right microphone hole was the Sim tray hole. I took the little spire(for sim tray) in the box and put it inside the microphone hole and forced a little. When I saw that nothing happened, I realized I did a big mistake.
I tried to look in the hole through light if I dammaged anything because I really forced a little. But I couldn't see anything. I am pretty sure that the top microphone still works, but I don't know if the surface of the microphone is dammaged or not. I don't like anything dammaged on a brand new phone. Do you think that the microphone is solid enough to hold such a pushing act?
My second question is, I live in France, I purchased this phone from SFR which is the second french telecom society. there is a little annoying thing about the boot animation, the is the samsung logo part and then there is a SFR logo part. I want to know if there is a way to remove the sfr logo boot animation without root of course?(by the way, the phone is unlocked and is not bound to SFR).
thank you in advance everyone!!!!
I'm guessing you're referring to the secondary microphone on top of the S6. The IR Blaster has a plastic cover and you surely didn't knocked that loose. If you can still record audio with the top microphone, then you probably didn't damage it.
Hi thank you for your answer. The microphone still works. But did I deform it or dammage its surface inside the hole? I dont know how does a smartphone look like and how tough it is to resist a sim tray spire push?
Maybe there is a way to look inside the hole?
Thank you for letting me know
Any ideas? Thankyou
To get rid of the boot logo you could flash a stock rom through odin, see forums. As for the mic, you could have it replaced if you are still within your return time, not completely honest but it is a wa, or if it's insured claim on that as it was accidental. But as the previous person said if you can record it should be fine.

Typically the microphone is placed perpendicular inside that pinhole so that it is impossible to poke it. You were just poking the plastic chamber which looks like a capital letter L and the mic is off the side. Thus its impossible to touch it unless you poked around a right angle!
I hope thats how this mic is because i clean the mic holes by poking them
Did you find out if anything was damaged, Madawcisrich? I did the same thing and i am just worried i spoilt it.

Use the built in voice recorder in conversation mode it uses each mic independently and then test it.
Clever

Speakers

Will it have front facing speakers, or on the bottom, or on the back.
At present, we are having the best smart phones with front facing speakers online.

What does that even mean? He's asking about the G5 specifically. I think it will still be on the back.

Always try and remember that English may not be someone's first language.
On Topic: I'm hoping that the speaker is at least on the bottom. Back speakers kinda blow.
Bottom as on the renders I can't see a speaker at the rear. I don't think I know of of a metal phone with speakers on the back? I am sure there is but can't think of any.
It's on the bottom, check the photos on AP
When I watched the livestream, I could have sworn they pointed to the grate on the top of the phone saying that was the speaker.. Maybe I misremembered, so I'll go back and watch again. Okay so yeah the speaker is on the very bottom of the phone. Looks like 3 dashes.
Looks like bottom speakers from the videos, and I hope it is cause I'd much rather have bottom speakers than back speakers.

I'm an idiot... What's the small hole at the top of the V30?

asd
The small top hole is one of the microphones. There's an identical one on the bottom of the phone. So, you can make stereo recordings.
https://goo.gl/images/VqxsYw
The earpiece actually turns into a 3rd microphone for high decibel environments, like live concerts.
But that top one is one of the two "regular" microphones.
Thanks, I thought so. Is it only for recording, or for noise reduction too? Recording I don't care about. Also, should I plug it with glue?
Mastiff said:
On autopilot I was going to put in a SIM card in my brand new phone and pressed where the hole was on my previous phone. Bad mistake, I guess... I probably put it right through something vital. Because I used the small hole at the top of the phone. Not the side. The light wasn't all that good, so I didn't notice that there was no SIM holder there. My guess is that it is a mike of some sorts, but I tried to record sound and had no problems with that. And it seems like there's a mike at the bottom of the thing too. So what did I mess up this time?
Edit: And does this mean that the phone isn't water resistant anymore? Can I stuff a bit of black silicone glue (the type used in bathroooms) in there with the pointy tool to make it water resistant again?
Edit 2: Oh, please drop the idiot jokes. I know it! Googling I have seen that I am far from the only one that has done that, I just would like to know exactly what it is on this phone, and if I should plug the hole to keep i waterproof. That's rather important for me, because I am an avid hobby crawfish and crab fisher and will probably get water splashing over this.

Aren't there barometer measuring apps for that ?
I read that by checking on pressure you can find out if your phone is still water resistant

If you don't want to tackle it, cell phone repair shop can.
That top mic is probably used for noise reduction during phone calls (since it's the top mic and you would speak into the bottom one), but used for recording stereo when actually recording? I'm sort of guessing on this.
If someone who is audio has better answer, jump in.
zacharias.maladroit, I have also read that. But I have read that it doesn't work as well, since the holes "breathe", they are mes of goretex or similar material. But I'll try anyway, thanks.
ChazzMatt, Interesting, thanks! Looking at that video at around 4:55 it may seem like the pin must have penetrated to the side of the microphone! I think I see the pinhole to the right of where the actual microphone is. As for fixing it, I am far to clumsy. But using a shop is of course an option, the only thing is that the phone is brand new and I'm guessing I'll loose the warranty for that. But I think I will first of all find out if the microphone isn't damaged, and then I will see what happens when I cover the hole. If it doesn't change the call qualty I will probably choose (at least for now) to glue shut that pinhole. If it is a problem for call quality I can maybe live with that using a silicone case and a piece of electrical tape over the pinhole when I go out to fish.

Yeah, 4:55 - 5:30 on that video shows taking out the old mic and putting in the new, for anyone else who needs to do it.
