Just acquired one of these phones today and seem to be having a slightly strange issue and hoping someone might know the resolution.
When on a call, the other person cannot hear me at all (they can hear nothing as-if the microphone is muted, it's not!), however if I switch to speakerphone they can hear me fine.
This is happening on any ROM, except unofficial CM10.1 where the microphone does not work at all.
In external apps the mic does not work either (so if I record a video, I get no sound).
I'm having trouble seeing this as a mic hardware issue as it works OK on speakerphone, any ideas on this?
Cheers!

Does this happen on stock rom as well?
Yeah I've put it back to the Samsung firmware (Carphone Warehouse UK, 2.3.6) and still doing the same thing.
Interestingly, on stock-based ROMs the Mic works on speakerphone (Still nothing anywhere else), but on CM-based or ported ROMs, the mic does not work at all!
Just to confirm, the Galaxy Mini does have just a single mic right? Haha!

Traded for this phone, but just noticed it has a mic issue.Very low and the other side cant hear unless your yelling, but bluetooth headset works. Wondering if its a hardware problem, or does it work after porting a ROM to it?

You are using stock rom or custom rom?
if not stock, could be rom issue too.. but if stock then its a hardware issue
My Tmo HTC One phone's microphone stopped working a few days ago when I use the handset to make calls. The mic works when I have it on speakerphone and my bluetooth headset works. I was running ARHD 13.4 when this started and I upgraded to ARHD 20.2 (with 3.17.401.2) last night but did not make a phone call until this morning. My wife said it sounded like I was in a windy room when I tried to call her, so I rebooted and now she cant hear anything when I call (unless I use speakerphone or BT headset).
I have insurance on the phone, but I do not want ot mess with making a claim until I have tried everything I can on my end.
Any tips or things I should try?
So you are saying that the microphone works, but not during calls?
This means it is a software not hardware issue
Install the latest AHRD (V21.0 is due out soon)
Follow the instructions in the Rom's first post
As it is a new build you need to flash clean and not dirty (again all explained in the first post)
This should resolve it for you :highfive:

just tried another Rom and same problem as above, sounds crackly and windy...seems right that it would be a software issue because the mic works fine during speakerphone mode, but I have no idea ?? i feel like sticking a pin in the mic in case theres something stuck in there , but...im sure thats a horrible idea!
I'm using CarbonRom is both HD and HD+ and this problem is the same for both. Today, I made a phone call and the person wasn't getting enough volume and the words were garbled. I tried the headset with Google Voice search and VoiceToText in other apps. It is evident that the mic isn't working correctly. I tried a different wired headset and the result was the same. For reference the headsets are a Klipsh S4A and stock that comes with Galaxy S3. The onboard mic works as expected. I paired a Bluetooth headset and, surprisingly, that worked the best of all.
Sometimes this is a kernel issue. I reflashed the rom without the fstrim kernel and that made no difference.
I am thinking that this is a bug that may be in the various Android, custom roms and that's why I didn't post only in CarbonRom thread. It may even be a problem with stock. I don't think there are many people that use a wired headset with mic. I make phone calls with MagicJack.
Maybe a few people that have a headset with mic can try and report back if this is a problem for the particular rom they are using.
someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388088 mentioned it worked with cm 10.1, maybe that one would work for you

Yes, I can confirm this issue, apparently.
I'll try to see what could be done.
Hi guys,
I am facing trouble while using a head set with my phone for making calls. The person at the other end is hearing noises and distortions making the call quality really poor and making the headset useless. I tried with many headsets but its it till there. Without the head set the call quality is pretty fine.
The odd thing is that while doing voice calls through Skype, this issue does not pop up.
I am using 16gb s advance running stock JB android. Does anyone else face this issue?
Thanks.

I was using headset that I got from the phone, white one. And I did not have any problems before. On stock, did not try it on CM ROMs.

Then it must be a hardware problem (not sure why skype calls works fine though ). Will get it checked out by Samsung guys. Thanks
Hi
I have a Xperia Z1 and i have MIC issues. It is a primary mic. People can not hear me well, there is sparkling and like waterfall/windy sound.
I tryed Factory reset and it doesnt work. Secondary MIC working fine but not Primary.
Even when recording videos it is the same.
What is the issue of this? Is it standard problem with Z1? Its not expensive to replace to new one but i just wonder if someone other have same issue?
Where is the MIC flex cable located?
I do have the same problem.. But only with whatsapp sound messages, everything else works fine..
can't figure out how to fix this or what is causing this problem.. :/
Ye it is wierd but for me nothing works not even calls

Can someone help me where the mic is located?
I found a mic on top of the phone under the cover and disabled it and turn phone on and tryed to see if it is any
sound recording but i still got same issue even when mic us not connected to mainboard.
Is it wrong MIC? It has primary and secondary where are they located? Please help
Ok i found it
http://userguide.sonymobile.com/ref...ria-z1#!Phone-overview---C6902C6903C6906.html
The MIC i disconnected was secondary mic. The primary mic is on bottom of the phone built in with speakers i think.
I believe I have the exact same problem. The primary microphone seems to have died completely or people could just hear a distorted "canny" voice. I have no idea how to solve this.
I have even more miracious issue - my microphone (in C6903, Qualcom MSM8974, software: 14.5.A.0.270, Android 5.0.2, kernel: 3.4.0) works only in Whatsup and not Viber (which is another communicator) and normal call ?
How is it possible that mic works in Whatsup but not in Viber ?
Thanks,
Artur
