V3 sounds horrible and catches interference!

The external microphone itself could be the culprit, or its connection to the 3.5mm port could be flaky. To test the theory do this:

1 Connect an external microphone to the computer.

2 Click Start, point to All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, then click Sound Recorder.

3 Click the Record button and speak normally into the microphone.

>>>> WIGGLE THE CONNECTION AT THE LAPTOP OR FLEX THE MIC CABLE WHILE RECORDING. Maybe even narrate what you are doing while you record your voice. "Flexing cable near mic, now near plug..." <<<<

NOTE: You can only record 60 seconds at a time.

4 When you have finished recording, click the Stop button.

5 To hear what you just recorded, click the Play button.
6 To save the file, select Save from the File menu.

>>>> If you hear crackling in the playback that correlates with your handling of the cable then bad seating or a bad cable are the problem. <<<<

Adjusting recording quality

The better the quality of the recording, the more disk space the sound file requires. Experiment to find a balance that fits your needs.

1 Open Sound Recorder, if necessary (click Start, point to All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, then click Sound Recorder).

2 In the Sound Recorder window, click Edit, then click Audio Properties.

3 In the Audio Properties window, adjust the Sound Playback quality and volume, and the Sound Recording volume.

4 Click OK.

Your new settings take effect the next time you record.

Since it is a flip phone i guess your flex is damaged or your screen is faulty.You need to first change the flex or check whether the cord is well connected.

Hello

The FLEX of your phone shifted from its original position.

A flex is found in Flip phones and slide phones,it is what connects the screen of the phone to the panel of the phone.

What you should do is this;

.open your phone

.you will see something like a little wide plasticlike cable (that is your flex)

.remove it and fix it back properly (be careful) you should hear a click sound

.close the phone and switch it on.

if you cant do this yourself,get somebody with a bit of experience to do it for you

If problem persists,then your flex is faulty and it should be changed

Thank you for visiting fixya

what model you are using? please provide more information and how exact it went like this?

if you can hear sound from your phone even in white display, that means you have to change display (sometime flex cable inside it)
if you can't hear sound, then it can be solved through software service point (normally repairer can do this)

that's it..

i think the cable/flex is not compatible with your phone..

razor v3 flex is different from the flex cable of v3i..

wich one is yours?

Most likely the small flex cable on the LCD screen in the top part of the phone needs replaced. The speaker in the earpiece must be bad and it is soldered to this flex cable. It can be repaired by a cell phone repairman.

your mic is faulty,, bring it to the pro's, you can do it but you can also damage ur fone, its in the lower section of the board you can clean it by cotton buds and a thinner,., but the flex is case sensitive so it's better go to the pro's

Your flex might be damaged, replace keypad flex.

this sounds more like a firmware problem and you will need a data cable and a good flashing/Flexing program to fix it.
