Hi

I have att lg optimus g e970 and my microphone is not working. It doesn't work during calls and also during video recording. I had two same phones and i replaced charging port with microphone (flex cable) and the microphone still doesn't work, so i guess it's not the flex cable.

I tried flashing different roms and radios but it didn't help...
Did somene had the same problem and how did you fix it?

Thanks

This used to be a common problem when people switched from using the stock ROM to a custom KitKat ROM. This was due to a radio issue but has been since fixed to accomodate the JB radio. If not, a hybrid radio should then be flashed to fix the problem.

You should try to switch back to the stock ROM using a full factory reset to make sure that it flashes with the JB radio.

Here is the link to find the stock ROM & JB radio files: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2067871

I flashed stock rom but the problem remains. Problem is that the microphone won't work even in video recorder or during sound recording.

Very strange, It should work fine with the Stock ROM. Your phone might just be defective if you tried other ROMS with no success.

Maybe ask for a warranty refund/exchange if its still new. But it it was worked before, then it has to be some sort of hardware issue. Tell me if it EVER worked at all and when it stopped working.

I don't know if it worked before because i bought it refurbished from ebay. Now i have another problem, the jellow mark has showed up on display, like a spot and it won't go away.
