.....is the device? Are you still under warranty? Have you tried contacting Samsung?
the models is samsung galaxy ace
version 2.3.6 ( i know that it says whatsapp voice messages cannot be sent from this version and lower versions but my friend has a lower version and it somehow works for him)
it was working perfectly just a week ago when i used it .
when i checked if i could send voice messages on whatapp it says - ' can't setup the recorder now, please try again later'
when i try voice search it says ' audio problem '
when i try voice recorder it doesn't display a message but just doesn't respond .
calls work perfectly and the person on the other end can listen to what i am saying .
i switch off and switched it back on and the first time i did that and immediately went to voice recorder - it worked and recorded my message and i could play it back.
but when i tried to record a second message it didn't work . i tried the same restarting thing again and it didn't work .
the voice message in whatsapp and voice search didn't work even after restart .
Anyone encountered a similar thing and know what the problem is ?
Its ok if my phone cannot send whatsapp voice messages but the main problem is how suddenly voice recording , voice searches and whatsapp voice messaging are all simultaneously messed up.
Thank you
