The microphone and earpiece on my microphone does not work. The camera is very laggy and does not capture videos. The SIRI also does not take voice input ( microphone issues). If I restart the phone however, the phone works fine for a few hours. The calls can be listened clearly and the SIRI also works fine. The camera is also very snappy after a restart. But then after 1-2 hours, the problem continues.
Note: If connected to a bluetooth headset I can utilize the microphone and earphone of the headset for phone calls.
It seems your phone suffers the known audio IC issue that shows after some falls or flexing. There’s not much one can do beside finding a reputable Pro into microsoldering who will likely be able to do the repair, this is not a DIY job. Camera might be somehow related but should be reassessed after the repair.
