Galaxy note quiet/muffled microphone on calls... solution - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys and girls. Had a problem with the wifes note microphone being that callers on the other end of the line co plained that they couldnt hear her. Was quiet and muffled. We were going to get the microphone replaced but the guy in the shop suggested a toothbrush dipped in metho to try clean the microphone pinhole. Well I was very skeptical but it worked a treat back to perfect volume and clarity now.
Just thought I would post this as I have seen a few people complaining of thia same issue.

Small rattling sound near top of handset!

Hey guys
Just signed up to the forums
I got my nexus 4 on Saturday after being a 5 to 6 weeker and receiving my phone 3 and a half weeks in... As you may gather I was really chuffed
I love the phone but I want to know if other people with the phone can hear a tiny rattling near the top of the phone as you shake it?
I got a bit anxious when I heard it on mine... Then I shook my cousins nexus a bit and it made the same sound.... That made me feel a bit better but still want to know if it is a normal sound 2 hear
Thanks

Audio jack not keep headphones in

Hello, my I9000 is about 4-5 years old, I've been having trouble recently with the audio port.
Some headphones will go in but pop back out, like it's on a spring. Some will go in but my phone struggles to recognise them, when it does the slightest movement will disconnect them.
I've had a look to see if anything is stuck and I can't see anything inside the port.
Anyone have any tips or solutions that may help?

Problem solved.
Inserted a cotton bud (q tip to our American friends) into the audio port and cleaned it out, came out a little dirty. Now it accepts all headphones and even sounds better than before.

Fyi: HTC One Speakers died

I am just posting that the on board speakers died on my phone. They aren't blown as headphones don't work either. I can only hear anything on a regular phone call as speakerphone doesn't work either. I have restored my one to stock as I am doing a rma on it. Anyone else ever experience this?

Maybe the built in amp died!?

Possibly since it's only amped audio that does not work

Do you have bluetooth speakers? Try that and if it works it's probably the amp imo. If it doesn't it might be your audio driver. Either way your probably going to have to get a replacement or a repair.
Have you called HTC and troubleshooted with them yet?

Yea I contacted AT&T my provider and they are shipping me another one. I had cm10.2 on it when it stopped worked but even returning it to stock had no effect. I just posted here to see if anyone else had experienced this issue.

Not closely similar to this, but I'm about to claim for the SECOND time that the top speaker is junk. The first phone it blew leaving it distorted and fuzzy. This one, all of a sudden overnight it sounds like a crazy vibration coming from the speaker. Kinda hard to explain... But it sounds absolutely terrible. So I'm going to fastboot the RUU and see if that makes a difference. If not its going back for another

Before I take my phone back, speaker issues

So my HTC One speakers are unusually quiet. I've been researching it but I can't find a clear answer. Basically my girlfriend can blast the entire house with her S3 speakers and I can barely cover the bathroom with mine lol. Turning Beats off doesn't make much of a difference either. My friend with the phone says his is too loud and other forum posts say the same. Before I backup everything and take it back..is this a confirmed issue? Thanks guys

My one was so loud it blew out the speakers lol! Just got my replacement the other day.

I would back up everything and do a full reset then test the phone

Tried to do everything and nothing fixed it, so I took it back to Sprint and they ordered a replacement for me. She played youtube on my phone and youtube on their demo phone and it blew mine away lol...

Very low volume/sound...

Hi guys my gear is suffering from very low sound volume from the speaker, I can hear it its just very faint. It used to work fine, here is my set up ...stock NA3 which I have since downgraded to stock mk7 I also downgraded the gear manager and have performed multiple resets nothing seems to help. Is my only hope to send it to Samsung? it works, i just can't hear the bloody thing!

Anybody?? My 1st thought was software issue but I'm now thinking hardware issue

Did you get water in it?
I don't think so though but I guess it's possible. ... It's in for warranty repair at the moment, I will update when I get it back. On a side note I find myself really missing the convenience of staying in touch with the world at the flick of the wrist, after having a smart watch I can't imagine myself ever not owning one.

Okay, I called Samsung last Friday morning and by Saturday morning they had sent out the return envelope... Posted Monday morning and have just received a brand new watch and cradle back from them! So 6 days in total from 1st contact to new watch on my arm, THANK YOU VERY MUCH SAMSUNG. :thumbup:

Yup back to normal, as I said they gave me a new watch, I know this as my clasp was scratched and this one is mint.

Do you happen to have the contact information for them? Mine is doing the same thing. I don't think it's a water issue either. Thanks a million

I think I may go to best buy and mess around with their watches and compare sound levels. See if it's normal to be lower or if mine is just low. I feel they should have included the speaker on the actual strap facing you (opposite the camera).

I called 084567267864 they were very helpful, took maybe 10 mins. Couldn't fault their service.

Oh on a completely non related subject I finished setting up my new watch earlier and have got the nexus lwp running behind the stock icons with the knight rider theme tune as my ring tone, I'm in geek heaven... Looks and sounds the nuts

Maybe some funk got in the speaker hole or the speaker itself got inverted somehow.

I blew some compressed air into the speaker and it seems to be louder now.
Hope this helps someone else in this position.
