I used a dust blaster to blow debris out in the hole where the mic is and now when I call people they can barely hear me but when they have me on speaker it's loud and clear which is weird. So yea, don't use that to blow things out. Use your mouth like how you would back in the days on the Nintendo cartridges lol

Not strange that the loud speaker is clear it doesn't use the same mic as the normal call.

Huhu,
some weeks ago it start that i had problems with my headphone jack. sometimes it stops playing music when it get touched while i put it in the pants. and now i can be happy if the smartphone register 1 of 100 times i connect my headphones.
someone of u ever had the same problem and repair it himself?
pls let me know because that s*ck ;] and sry my bad english
I think the best and easiest thing to do to fix this is take it in and have them replace it.
Get the pocket lint out. Seriously, lol. Mine was doing the same thing, so I looked in it with a really bright flashlight and saw pocket lint pressed against the bottom

Repair Headphone Jack
Had problems with D1 phone jack, and D3 also. To me it is a matter of thickness of the male jack. I have real nice Sony ear buds but the jack cuts out, move it and is good for short while. I pinched the jack to make it oblong, very desperate move. Cuts out much less, but still kinda crapy. I have an older Sony ear buds and the jack is thicker and have no problems. Even at the gym.
Bottom line is cheesy, cheap parts there on that Motorola.

+1
This happened to me twice. So, I guess that should be +2!
The plug would stop snapping in. I thought for sure I had broken the jack. But after a little close inspection, a flashlight, toothpick and can of duster I was able to get it working good as new again.
some days ago i was looking around the internet and find these
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Droid-3-Teardown/6108/1
so some days later i was funny enough to open my Droid3, too.
and then i was able to get some more pocket lins out of the headphonejack.
i was thinking its already clean but these wasnt visible from the top.
and now all is woorking fine
Hi,
While calling people there have been several complaints that my voice is very low while on the phone has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks
Yes, a little bit, then I carry on talking and the other party manages to cope. I was assuming my case may play a little part in the problem, even though there is a small pin hole where the mic is.
My case is the official HTC One flip case... You?

Yes it's the same flip case. hmmm. I wonder if there is a way of improving it.
funny I dont get this even though the case covers the mic at the bottom of the phone.
I mentioned on another thread that there is a fault with every double dip flip case. The mic hole doesn't line up with the mic properly!

Dam. Might have to buy a new case.
The thing is I can see that the hole perfectly lines up with the hole from what I can see.

Which case you guys are talking about? The plastic cover which have 3 parts? Or the black flip case wich can let the phone stand up in landscape mode?

The case I am referring to with the issues is the flip case and NOT the one with three parts.
But im not even using a case right now, but im also getting people saying they can't hear me that good, sounds great on my end though.

Try to record your own voice with inbuilt recorder app than play and see. Check if you have case which covering Mic? Try to see if any residuel trap inside the mic hole try to use vaccume cleaner to suck from both Mic. Or try to talk with customer service number and talk very softly and ask if operator can hear your voice properly?, restart the phone and do the same and check if anything improved? Try to record your voice using camera and check. Hope this all step help

I'm having the same problem, I have narrowed it down to being the bottom mic, When in a call, using speaker phone the back mic is on and people can hear me. When headphones are in again, people can hear me, again though the back mic. But when I take out the headphones, and turn speaker off, people can't hear me, unless I'm talking directly into the bottom mic, but words get cut short. Hearing what it sounds like I'm thinking it's noise canalization going on..

Having the same exact problem. Using the voice recording app - the volume of a recording using the bottom mic is woefully low compared to using a headset to record.
When using the speaker to answer calls - doesn't exibit this behavior as bad due to the other external mic.
Everyone that is calling me is complaining that they can barely hear me and I think it has nothing to do with the carrier, but all to do with the phone.
My partner's phone is also doing this. Every time she answers a call the other person can't hear her and she almost has to yell. She does have the HTC Genuine case but I've tested calls without this on and still the same thing.
It is the Silver 32GB HTC One ordered through Handtec.
I guess you're talking about the official case which can hold up the phone like the case comes with GSIII ?
I saw two thread complaining the same issue in another forum. However, I have a similar case (but not THIS case) and don't have this problem.
why put on case on HTC One? geez
(Don't mean to troll)
bad mic issue

e: it was a noise cancellation + hole blockage deal for me. seems alright now
I just tested mine and I can hear myself loud and clear.
people I call tell me it's like I am sitting next to them when I call

I have had other people tell me they can hear me, and I would move the phone and then they would say I'm perfectly clear.
I'm talking moving it a couple inches farther from my mouth. But then speakerphone works fine. I happen to believe it's cancellation taking us out as well.
Anyone having issues with people not being able to here you clearly on the other end? My wife called this morning and she was on speaker. I heard her loud and clear but she couldn't hardly hear me. When it was of speaker it was still weak. Now I did do a water test this morning. I'm assuming I didn't break anything since it's water proof but if it effects the speakers, that would be disappointing. Or the phone is just not working right.
Water effects mic and speakers, once it dries out it should be fine

Is there any modification we can make that will allow the top speaker to work with music and videos aswell?

Doubtful. It's not a loudspeaker. If a simple mod would turn it into one, surely Motorola just would have made it that way from the start.
It's not a speaker. It's just a grille covering the ear piece to give the phone symmetry.
The speaker is really loud anyway, much better than the Nexus 5.
Thanks for the replies guys, the speaker is amazing but just wished that this phone could have stereo sound. I just can't believe that the 2nd gen moto g does and this doesn't. Don't know if it's just me but I can really notice hearing audio more from one ear while watching things or playing games.

And to keep the screen of touching ground when face down
Anyone having the same problem? Im not sure if its because of the whitestone adhesive, the dual speaker mod or what. Its getting annoying that I need to use the speaker just to hear the person im talking to.
Is this happening only when placing calls through your carrier or also when placing whatsapp and facebook messenger calls?
you probably got some of the Whitestone adhesive leaked into the earpiece speaker and then dirt/dust clogging it up, several people reported same thing happening, some careful cleaning with pure alcohol and wipes should sort it

I only call through my carrier, and I notice how weak it was when the dual speaker mod sounded a bit odd

Well.. it " leaked INTO the earpiece " how would alcohol clean the inside?
Update
Sorry for talking first, reasearching later.
So ive made a search about this and what you said was exactly what they did.
chancces are it is just a little bit and it hasn't leaked deep into it but basically just covering the earpiece and clogging it up, give it a shot, you have nothing to lose anyway

After alchol drys. Run speaker cleaning app. They have them in play store. Similar situation happened on 1 of my old phones. The app helped after cleaning out with alcohol.
I had low volume on the ear placed speaker, tried all of the various tricks.
Only way to get my volume back was compressed air
note 8 earpiece volume

Ok heres the scoop on low note 8 earpiece volume. i moved up from a note 5 and could barely hear my calls. i looked at note 5 earpiece and holes are open. i looked at note 8 and found the holes are covered with aluminum---no open holes??? i used a magnified reader to see them. i used a pin and gently open 6 holes across the speaker again useing magnifier i could see the holes open. guess what? i had to turn the volume down!!! i don,t know if that aluminum cover was supposed to be removed at assenbly but the note 5 has nothing shiny on the earpiece speaker. i am now a happy camper and no longer hae to use my bluetooth earpiece.: CAUTION don,t need to push on pin hard just put it there and twist it a bit u will feel it move.
Well, maybe you punctured a water seal, I would be very careful about moisture and splashes, not to say submerging the device
I had the same issue with my note 8 I bought. The ear piece was more of a brown color than black so I knew it was clogged with dust or something. I took it to a professional and they said they would have to replace the entire LCD screen since the speaker was linked into it. They told me it would cost $280 to replace it. I told them to basically piss up a rope and I left. When I got home I used gorilla tape and put it over the mesh speaker and pressed it in with the end of a screwdriver just enough to get it touching the mesh..not hard. Pulled it off and did this a couple more times. The speaker mesh looks brand new and I hear perfect now. So try that.

You are a life saver man. I mean i thought i had to give my phone for repairing or replacing the ear piece. But your solution worked like charm. You deserve appreciation.:good:
You can use compress air to clean out the earpiece

Been ages since I logged into this website. Had to do a password reset just to say Thank You. This worked like a charm. I had the low volume issue since a year but did not actually think of searching for a fix because I was using either loud speakr or headset. Thanks again. I was using the low volume as an excuse to buy a new phone which I wont now
