I somehow think that this is carrier related, but thought I'd see if anyone else has had similar issues just in case.
I'm running a Nexus One with Cyanogenmod 6.1 (and loving it!). But for the past 3 months people are complaining that when I talk to them my voice keeps popping in and out.
Seems open and shut to be carrier related, especially in light of Vodafone's issues in Australia here.
Though what makes me pause for thought is that last night my hands were full, so I turned on the speaker while in a call, and there were no issues. The second I picked the phone up and went back to microphone, the person on the other end said I started cutting in and out.
Most likely a coincidence I'm sure, but has anyone else encountered anything like this?
EDIT: I've used 2 different radios in this time with similar results. My current is:
Baseband version: 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08
This problem shouldn't be related to baseband version I think...
Not sure if it is a noise cancellation issue, but try to edit /system/build.prop file, modify "media.a1026.enableA1026=1" from =1 to =0 to disable noise cancellation, see if it helps

During calls there comes a moment that people are complaining that they cannot hear me. When i move the jog dial upwards (hence increasing volume) they say that they can hear me ok. I have not experienced this using the bluetooth headset. Maybe a hardware problem??
By the way i used 5 different radios and upgraded also to 6.1.
Anyone experiencing this?
Any solution?
Thanks
same problem and i didnt find any solution ! But my phone came back from the HTC support for another problem, I will check it...
i had same problem was faulty phone so i got it swapped

did you send it for this reason?
well my mic was buggered
people would say one min they can here me next they cant
and it would like fade in and out
orange where usless and said they wanted to test it but in the end i went back told them i wanted a new one
and since then i have had no problems
If you can't hear me it means I'm in Parentheses. ))
i guess i have to sent it back then, s*** i have to to revert to original rom now.
anyone else with the problem?
ok you say it is a hardware problem. I did the following: i was speaking continuously for 2 minutes on the mic and i was recording it. When i tried to listen to the recording everything seemed to work excellent. So i guess is not a mic - hardware problem. S*** i am going crazy........
Did you flash with the appropriate radio?
i've had the same problem with my speaker phone; i can hear the calling party; but they cannot hear me; it does not happen all the time; but more often than not (more than 50% of the time).
A person in another forum suggested turning the volume down to half when using the speaker phone so it will work (though it is difficult to hear the calling party when volume is that low).
I know this is unrelated to blue tooth issue; but there seems to be some sort of audio glitch that is similar in both the blue tooth and speaker phone so one has to wonder if there is some type of related root cause to both problems???

when i use bt the problem disappears so i think it has to do with the functionality of the mic?
Well finally after 1.5 month i got back my phone from ACE HELLAS. The problem remains the same although i was told that the microphone and earphone were replaced by new ones. If they are telling the truth and they did change it it means that we are facing a kind of software problem.........
I had the problem, too. I tried dozends of radio roms but problems continued.
After 5 months of trying I repace my VPA Compact V (aka v1615) and now the problem has dissapeared...
So it seems to me that it is a hardware problem of one production run.

Hello guys, I have recently purchased HTC one, and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 and teamseven AOSP kernel on it. I noticed there is issue with microphone during calls. Distand end cannot hear me or it sounds extremely low/muffled, but when I put it on speaker phone, issue goes away. Also after few min it sometimes randomly decides to work. I have tried to flash Android Revolution 22.1 (4.3) to see if the issue will go away, but it is still persisting. I would appreciate any help I can get, thank you
Just a quick update, I did more research on this issue and it seems like a common issue with newer HTC One models. Noise Cancellation seems to be the problem, since talking to the phone at certain angle seems to might the issue go away. I even tried restoring my phone to the stock, and even tried the disable noise cancellation fix that is around in the forums, but it did not make the issue go away completely. This is my second HTC One in 3 days, first one had a nasty dead pixel, and now microphone issue. I will take it back to AT&T store and get it replaced again. I'm not sure what is going on with the quality of the phone on newer models, since I've had the Developer's Edition and AT&T model on launch day and both were perfectly fine. Is anyone here having the same issue and found a fix for it?
Another quick update, I seem to have fixed the issue by SCREAMING into the bottom microphone hole during call for a minute to see if I can fix the volume, and it might be hard to believe but issue has gone away. I read this in another thread about the microphone issue, someone posted by screaming into the hole, you are adjusting the volume gain and fixing the issue. I recommend trying it if you are having the same problem, since I've literally tried everything else and this fixed it for me.
I have similar issue. For more I noticed random disconnections during call.
it worked !!!
It worked....

your speaker works where you can hear the call but if you talk into it the person on the other end cannot hear you.
It has been broken in AOSP for quite some time now. CM 10.2 STABLE has the same issue.
The only working rom with speakerphone is GPE/sense based ones.

Trying to get a secondhand Droid 4 operational for my wife, who really, really wants a hardware keyboard. When I got it, it worked fine except that intermittently the handset microphone would get too quiet for the person on the other end of the line to hear. Switch to speaker or Bluetooth and everything is fine. It didn't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying. A search revealed a suggested solution was to clear data for Google Services Framework and reboot; this seemed to be somewhat effective, but the issue continued to recur.
Having tried everything else, I rooted it and flashed the latest CM11 milestone. And the mic behavior changed -- now it's always too quiet (not intermittent). Testing reveals that if I shout into the phone, the person on the other end can barely hear something. And Google voice search is unusable -- when I shout, the mic icon flashes sometimes, but it never gets anything.
The intermittent nature of the issue and the change in behavior after installing a different OS leads me to think it's a software issue. Can anyone steer me toward a system file where mic gain is set, or any other possible solution to this issue? Thanks so much.
So I'm on my 11th day of using the Nexus 6. I have 14 days to exchange the phone through T-Mobile if there's any issues. So far, no real hardware issues with the phone.
Here's my issue though. It's so random I can't figure it out. When I'm trying to call someone, the dialer dials the number, reaches the contact, but I can't hear the ringer and I can't hear anyone talking on the other line. The person on the other side of the line said when they answered the phone, there was no sound or voice from me - it was just dead.
The ONLY way I seemed to fix it before it does it again is to reboot the phone and calls will be normal. My question is, should I exchange the phone? It shouldn't be hardware, right? It sounds to me like a Lollipop issue but I don't see anyone else with this issue. Please help as I want to make up my mind whether or not I should swap for a new Nexus 6.
I'm running stock unrooted and locked bootloader. Thanks.
EDIT: I'm on T-Mobile too.
in for update please
same thing would happen to my wife's nexus 6 too. happens sporadically. don't know what causes it. doesn't happen often. hasn't happened with my nexus 6 yet. i have the blue 64gb and she has the cloud white 64gb.
notice the same thing happening with my father's nexus 4 a couple times too. only way to fix both phones is with a reboot.
thinking that it is a software issue and hopefully will be fixed with the next release of Android 5.1 since that is supposed to mainly be bug fixes.

Are you on T-Mobile? I ask because I think my issue was more an issue on T-Mobile's side. My friend has an iPhone 6 and he had the same issue - it was T-Mobile's cell tower. I'm not 100% sure this was the reason because I still had to swap out my Nexus 6 when I originally posted this because of hardware issues.
Same problem here, answer an incoming call I can't hear them, they can't hear me. Rebooting the phone fixes the problem but only for a few days , then same again.
I'm on AT&T and had this problem yesterday, got a VM from my daughter's school saying there was a 2 hour delay and couldn't hear it (ended up seeing it in my e-mail instead). Then I tried multiple times to make/receive calls same thing. Rebooting the phone fixed it. I wasn't sure if it was a bug since I rooted or not. I've only had my phone for 6 days.
This has been driving up the bloody wall. I hope they fix it soon! Anyone got any ideas?
Guys, if you have to reboot the phone to fix the issue, I would RMA or exchange the phone. It could be hardware since it's happening on different carriers in different areas of the world. I'm on my third Nexus 6 and everything seems to function fine now.
I actually fixed mine by blocking the noise cancellation speakers at the back of the phone below the camera. If the nexus 6p is in a case all you need to do is cover the noise cancellation hole in the case and you will be fine and if not in a case just cover it with a tiny sticker
Having similar issue on Nexus 5!
Problem: When I call or receive calls - I cannot hear anything --- unless I switch to loudspeaker or use a headset.
Furthermore when dialing I cannot hear the connection sounds --- unless I switch to loudspeaker or us a headset.
The others can hear me! So - the microphone works.
I can record and play audio & video - no problem! So the microphone and the speaker do work, somehow not always! Vibration works too.
----------FIXED
P.S: I just got it fixed: It turned out the earpiece speaker contacts were bend and the sticky tape did not hold the part down. After bending the contacts and taping the earpiece down (alternative a small piece of paper to force / hold it down did the job!)
The earpiece contacts only presses upward against the board contacts of the Nexus5 (and 6 likely)!
Currently: Nexus 5 / Nougat 7.1.1 / Nitrogen OS / rooted on TWRP 3.0.3.0 recovery
Hey! So I have a really weird problem with this phone... Which i originally thought was a hardware problem, but I think I just confirmed that it's not. I will try to explain it:
Noteworthy Items:
1. Long phone calls
2. Wired headsets (I've tried at least 6 different earbuds)
3. This happened to me with the base MIUI, and a custom rom
I spend a good part of my phone time on phone calls, and from time to time, the person on the other line will tell me that they're not hearing audio from my earphone's mic anymore, but rather from the microphone on the phone (particularly like a speaker phone call). If I plug my earphones out and back in again, this fixes it. During this time, if I run my hand over the proximity sensor, my screen will go dark as if I was on call without headphones but all sound is still processing through my earbuds (I hear my caller fine). I installed a custom rom less than a week ago, and I'm still having the same issue so I thought it was hardware-related.
However, today I decided to do something different... I ended the call, and called back without touching any of the hardware (I didn't plug out my earphones or touch the connection in any way) and this fixed the audio issue. I did this three times already to make sure it wasn't a fluke. I'm very confused as to what could be causing this issue. Any ideas?
To confirm, I've used different earbuds but I've never tried to replicate this using wireless earphones (because I don't have any). The issue also happens more commonly if I'm moving too much (this is originally why I thought it was hardware related). If I keep still, or my phone doesn't move, I have this issue less frequently. If any other info is needed, I'm happy to provide, and happier for any help I receive. Thanks!
yea, I also have the same issue. I tried many solutions but still problem persist. has anyone got any solution?
Me too
