[Q] How to fix mic problem? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I make calls without a headset, the sound quality from my mic is very poor. The way I sound on the receiving end is static-y and just not very clear...
However! When I plug in my headset the sound is much clearer. This is an indication to me that its not a software issue but a hardware issue...
Does anyone else have this same problem? I've read somewhere that the fix is to just disassemble the phone and nudge the mic. Because of some manufacturing fault, part of the mic is covered... Has anyone here done this?

Need HELP with speaker distortion

I tried and search but nothing really fit my problem. My diamond all of the sudden incoming or out going calls are sound distort, but when I turn on speaker phone it's clearer and better. I tried change Radio, roms but the same thing. My ring tone doesn't sound distort either. Can someone out there help me or someone has similar problem? may replace speaker? software problem?
Best regards

noise in voice call with earphone

Hi,
Whenever I talk to someone with earphones on, they complain me about getting lot of noise but I can hear them fine and if I talk without earphones they can hear me fine as well. They describe noise as - when you have phone close to tv or car radio and someone calls radio speakers emits kind of tutututuuututu sound.
Has anyone observed same problem and any solution ? I am on stock ICS ROM. I thought to ask here first before asking SAMSUNG on it.
Thanks
I think it is me only which is having this problem. I am sending complain to SAMSUNG now.
Thanks
just send it... possibly a hardware issue.. i have read threads about such issues and mainly turns out to be an improper installation of mic

Microphone doesn't work

Hey folks,
I had the problem with the stock ROM and now I have the similar problem with jackeagels 5.5.1 (SM-G800F).
My microphone works sometimes and sometimes doesn't. People I want to call can't hear me. Eventually after a few calls they do. This is a state I don't want to stay in so does one has any idea what the problem could be? A while ago I pulled some dust out of the mic hole (with a needle) but that doesn't seem to be the problem here
Mines always been dust in the hole. Get compressed air can and blast it. Very annoying.
Hey Guys!
I have a similar problem but only when I use the internal mic, the problem does not occur when I use my headset.
Sometimes, the people I'm calling say that they can hear me very quietly.
Mostly, they say that they hear a constant noise or sound like a "bom bom bom" which is in the background. I can't hear this sound myself and as I said it does not occur when the headset is plugged in.
Any help is appreciated!
Regards, Jens
What phone model? What OS?
The main mic is at the bottom, near USB port. Recording a voice note without earphone, of course, works? The mic hole is dirt or blocked somehow?

Thanks for your reply.
It is a G800F with CyanogenMod 13.
I tested the issue after my initial post with the voice recorder in detail.
So the sound is a kind of buzzing like in the early days of mobile phones when you put your phone near a radio and you get an incoming call.
When I record with the voice recorder, then I hear the buzzing. It is stronger when I say something and quiter when I record silence. Then I also made the same test with my headset, and, unfortunately the buzzing also occured. The intensity was bit lower I think but the sound was there.
Unfortunately, I never tested it with the stock rom. Could this problem be related to a software problem? I'm not sure if I backup my CM and install a stock rom for testing...
Thx!
Yeah, the best way to mak sure it's not software is backup and going back to stock. If it still doesn't work then you have a hardware issue almost certainly...

Mic sensitivity issues

Is anybody finding the microphone on their Mix to be too quiet? When I use snapchat, skype, and phone calls, the person on other end complains that I'm barely audible. However, when I record something with the recorder app, it sounds much louder and clearer than a recording in snapchat under the same conditions. I have a feeling it's the noise cancelling microphones on top that are muffling the main microphone, but I don't have a way to test this. I've checked the mic grille for debris and already cleaned as much as I can without disassembling the phone. I don't think it's a hardware issue, because again, the issue seems to be app-dependent. I had this problem on stock MIUI 8 global, but now I'm running the latest RR build with Dragonxia, and the above scenarios still hold true. Anybody else experiencing microphone issues or has any idea how to solve this?
What case are you using? Maybe you've got one that blocks some of the mic holes? I use mine naked and haven't had a problem with microphone on miui 8. There are known mic issues on RR/Lineage ROMs.
