Phone: Microphone doesn't work

[ReenenLaurie]

Not sure if this is the best forum for this, if an Admin knows of a better forum please move.

My phone's microphone doesn't seem to work. Unless I use Skype on speaker phone (Skype normal mode also silence). All other apps so far, the microphone records nothing.

Any suggestions?

I saw some suggestions on-line, and I figure that my "normal" mic is broken, but my speaker phone mic is fine. But apparently there is no way to use that mic unless the phone goes to "speakerphone-mode" which only "phone" apps and specialised microphone apps do (skype etc.)

This happened to me with my iPhone, i had my headset plugged in and when i unplugged it mid convo my mic wouldn't work. My phone was "stuck" in headphone mode basically. I just skyped myself and then kept plugging and unplugging my headset over and over until eventually my microphone started working again.
