I seem to have a problem when using the speakerphone. I can't be heard on the other end. Regular calls are fine.
I'm using Cyanogenmod 10.1.3. As I understand the phone, the regular microphone is at the bottom edge on the keyboard part of the phone. There's another microphone (noise cancelling?) on the top edge near the power button. The speaker is the slot on the back. Does that have a microphone function too?
I recently replaced the earpiece like so many other people have. Could I have disturbed something near that top mic?
I was wondering if there's a way to test the mic near the power button.
Thanks,
Paul

Hello,
My HTC Diamond on last week gets "MicroPError" and no backlight.
I dismounted the phone to clean the interior and fix the connections inside, after mountin it, the backlight was fixed and I was happy with it, because I could fix the problem on my phone, but when I make the first call, i realised that I fixed one problem and get another one.
So now, the problem on my phone is when I make or when I receive a call no one can hear me.
Can someone help me trying to fix my phone.
Best regards
Ya i can help you. The problem is the with the 2 golden hook like connectors.[ Near the camera ] You might have bend it in the process of cleaning.
To be specific , the top portion of the mobile when removed controls the speakers. You can easily spot the golden connector and make sure that it touches the upper metal connector when closing the top cover.
top cover is the one above the battery in this pic

Hello,
Thanks for your reply, but it didn't solve my problem, I checked what you said, and the connection is normal.
By the way this is not the connector for the speaker? My problem is not on the speaker, my problem is on the microphone.
My problem is not ear the others, but the other can't ear me on a phone call, so the problem is on the microphone, don't you agree?
Do you have another idea for this problem?
Best regards.

Check your microphone connections at the lower bottom . One with a black cap.
Hello again,
Can you please help me identifying the microphone.
Best regards
Hello again,
I checked it again, and the connections of the microphone sims to be fine.
I think the microphone itself is damaged, because I make another test.
I tryed to use the Voice Recorder, and found that if I talk normal on the recorder, when I play the sound, my voice is very low, almost not earable and a lot of noise, if I talk louder, when playing the sound my voice is already possible to ear, but also with a lot of noise, this is the reason for thinking that the problem is on the microphone. By the way, the black cap of the microphone falls down when I opened the phone for cleaning on the first time, is it normal.
If the problem is, as I think on the microphone, is it possible to replace the microphone, or it must be replaced the pc-board.
Best regards.
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a problem. During any call my mic goes off. I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. I've already gave a factory reset, I've already changed the firmware but the problem remains in any firmware. I've tried to use the mic in other applications such as a voice recorder, google search, swype, and they all captured the sound perfectly. The microphone works fine except in telephone app. Samsung said that I have to change the main board. But it is barely new. Besides that this doesn't sounds like a hardware problem...Does anyone have any insight about this issue or how can i get my mic back? Should i recompile the code from telephone app, something like this...?
just for the records... newbie here.
Tks in advance!
there are 2 mics on note. Top and bottom. I think the recorder apps use the top mic and calls use the bottom mic. could be a hardware problem with the mic below.. Not 100% sure though.
Weird issue here, when im in a call no one can hear me. They can only hear me fine when I press the speakerphone button. I tried using voice recorder as well and no audio recorded. I know there are two mics, but do they switch when you turn on speakerphone? So maybe one mic is blown?
Current setup
Latest firmware and radio, BadBoys 4.4.2 ROM,S-OFF

Adjacent to the USB input on the bottom of the phone will be the microphone. Try gently clearing it out with a safety pin to see if there's any gunk in there.
There's been known issues with the built in noise cancellation interferring with the bottom microphone. Try covering the back mic (the one that's top right of the camera) and talk into the bottom mic to see if you can hear anything. I don't believe there is a known fix yet for this issue for the Sprint HTC One if you have noise cancellation problems.
Viper ROM 5.7 has a setting to disable noise suppression, but that didn't work for me. I hear there's two noise cancellations. One built into Android and another for HTC. The Viper ROM setting disables only the HTC setting, not the android one.
I had this issue too and had to do a small "song and dance" with an HTC rep to trouble shoot the phone. They eventually agreed with my conclusion that the phone was broken. They sent me a replacement since I was under factory warranty and I haven't had any problems since. Best to call HTC and put in a trouble ticket.
Yeah might be a combination of both, just weird that it works only when I hit the speakerphone button while in a call. Thanks
I have had that issue sporadically on my one since the latest firmware update. Happens for no reason occasionally.Never did it with old firmware. When I have time I want to try reverting to older firmware to see if the issue is resolved.
I have had this problem for months. Speakerpho e works because it uses a separate Mic on the back of the phone on top.
The problem Mic is on the phone bottom near the charging port. Today I called my house pho e and screamed into the bottom Mic for two minutes and it's alive again for the fitst time in months!
How long I dunno worth a shot though since using speaker gets annoying.

Thanks that's what I need info on. I figured the speakerphone was the one on the back. oh well, i'll have to manage until April I guess.
Just got a S6 yay!! When I was at AT&T the stupid rep put the ejector tool in the upper secondary mic instead of the sim slot. I didn't think much of it now because when block the lower mic by the speaker to make a call, say okay google, or do a voice memo no sound is transmitted or nothing happens
is the upper second mic just for noise cancellation or did the rep break my mic? anyway anyone can test this to validate?
Much appreciated
I wouldn't even wonder about it. Take it back and exchange it. AoN
Covered up bottom mic and get very faint recording, if any at all. I'm guessing the top mic is for noise cancelation.

Thank you for the reply jondroid2
went back to B&H and got a replacement. Second unit has the same issue. This is the international unlocked SM-G920F. Funny thing went to the Samsung store in Best Buy and the S6 and Edge don't have this problem.
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...
