    I'm in the USA and ordered from Amazon.

    Tried all the powering off / multiple boots checking to see if it's a intermittent issue with no change.

    This is just a theory but based on the total lack of any audio or noise when recording / on a call I wouldn't be surprised if the microphone simply wasn't in there.

    Would really love it if Nokia would get back to me on my open ticket with them.

    I've had the same problem last night as well. Rebooting today solved it, but I wouldn't be surprised if pulseaudio or the driver would be behind the issue.

    Have any of those with pre-production phones who have upgraded to the final firmware seen any software defects with the mic?

    Please NEVER send users to Extras-Testing or Extras-Devel without a big warning.

    Also, "maemo-recorder" in Extras-Testing has been superseded by "recorder" in Extras.

    looking at the problem here, not only some people got their MIC totally not working.

    but some other people also got their MIC partly working (the MIC turned off sometimes and needed restart to correct it)

    This is a very obvious manufacturing defect IMO. you don't need to wait for weeks for it to happens like lens scratch in N97,

    If you claim you test your product before you ship them (Nokia) i hope you can explain this to the public.

    so how many people actually experiencing this problem?

    It would be good to know - some of the polls seem to suggest that it is a very small minority

    As for testing, most manufacturers only test a sample of units, not every unit is fully tested.

    This means that i should send back my phone and wait who knows how many weeks before he has adjusted, or new ...

    Yup confirm it's the bug with the app, no mic issue.

    Have you any proof? I have n900 on which recorder was never installed, but mic suddenly switched off. So I'm sure, that there should be another reason.
    So I would really appreciate proof, that there is a bug in recorder, to reduce chance of disabled mic by deinstalling recorder. I also can try to search for similar app, which may cause mic problem on the phone, where recorder is not installed.

    The app records fine in General profile.
    When I switched to Offline profile, doesn't record anything.
    Switch back to General profile, it records.

    There's your proof it's the bug with the app, not a mic issue
