Mic? went out on my touch pro 2. Advice?

[ViperGeek]

I have no advice for the OP, but do know how you feel. My six month old TP2 just went mute on me too. I thought I lost my mind. Nobody could hear me, but I could hear them fine. It also works perfectly via bluetooth.

I'll be visiting my friendly Verizon store tomorrow morning for a replacement. I do have the overpriced insurance, but still believe the deductible is $50-100.

I felt the same way! It was awkward trying to talk to people. Oh well. That was my first original new TP2. Now I'm on my 4th refurb

I'm happy to report that I now have a (refurb'ed) Touch Pro2 with an actual, working mic! The spirits (OK, FedEx) got me a "new" phone within two business days. After sync'ing all my Outlook data and reloading a couple dozen apps, I'm back in business.

One unexpected windfall from this whole ordeal is that I'm now running Windows Mobile 6.5. I wasn't aware that Verizon was shipping WM 6.5 yet. AFAIK, it's not available as an update on their website.

We'll see how long this one lasts, but at this instant in time, I'm not unhappy.

I got my 4th refurb last Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised in the shipped 6.5 as well. I unlocked and flashed it anyways, but it was still nice to power it on and see a 6.5 homescreen rather than the dull boring 6.1.

Be easy on the screen. The screens on the refurbs don't last. Be very careful how much pressure you put on it. Good luck!

I am having the same issue on my phone it has been almost a year. I started to cook my first ROM I was going to post here and thought that I had a bad flash or made a bad ROM. Looks like I will be flashing the VZW stock ROM and Relocking the device and headed to VZW today.
