Nexus 6 mic issue - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a Nexus 6 that has mic issues. When on the phone the other party cannot hear me. When recording a video there is no sound. Is there any thing I can do to remedy this? I am not sure if this is a hardware issue, as I think the Nexus 6 has at least 3 mics and all of them are faulty at once?
I did not get the phone from Play Store directly, I got it from a seller and he doesn't have the invoice for the phone. Can I still RMA the phone? The phone is definitely from Google Play Store though.
Also as I dun live in the US, RMA can be a really problem for me. Does anyone has any ideas on how to rectify this? I am will to root, load custom ROM anything. Thanks.

To add on, when I first got the phone everything was fine. I had rooted the phone and flashed leankernel and enabled double-tap to wake. After that, when I found that the mic was not working, I tried to flash the stock kernel and the issue was still there. So I unrooted and flashed to stock again. Still no change. Could this be a hardware issue?

I would rma it. Nexus 6 has alot of issues.

Front Facing Camera Broken

For awhile now I am fairly certain my front facing camera is physically broken. The stock camera app no longer has it as an option, and when I try to use an app or function within an app that requires it, it force closes. (Including all settings in the new Google Camera Play Store app)
I have tried completely restoring the phone to stock (non-dev Verizon Moto X 4.4.2), and this did not change any of the issues.
Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure I want to pay $100 to have the phone replaced through insurance, and this seems like a tough phone to repair on my own.

I have the same issue with an att phone. I thought it was just in hangouts, but I just tried another couple of apps and had the same issue.
Everything on my phone is stock.
Call Motorola, use the warranty.
I warrantied mine. I should get a new phone in the mail tomorrow.

Pac rom

Hi, I'm currently on PAC and my touch screen behaves weird after a few minutes of use, need to sleep and unlock the phone to have it back to normal, any ideas?
I also have this bluetooth mono headset that I use for music, when I click the answer button, it brings up the voice recognition thing, any way to make it play/pause my music that is playing on Apollo?
Thanks
If the Developers did not fixed this yet then there is no fix, to get rid of that just try different ROM.

I've experienced the touch screen issue on the stock rom before, also, is there a way to control the music app using my bluetooth headset?

dude, that was a problem with your phone, is not a Rom issue, you had a chance to take it to support but it was XD!!!
just checking, is there anyone else experiencing this issue? I want to make sure that it's an issue with the digitizer before I flash back to stock and send it in.

Update:
Finally sent my phone back to sony for repair, first repair, on inspection at the counter, found 3 dead pixels, so they had to send it back for repair again. It is back with me now, but I'm still experiencing the same issues on the latest stock rom and the panel looks slightly different from the one I had before (light and proximity sensors can be seen, easier to see transistors under screen in sunlight..) do they have different versions of panels?

[Q]

I'm having an issue with Pandora that I never had on my droid turbo. I can't seem to change the songs from my '13 civic steering controls. Even weirder I was able to get it to work randomly with one song then not work then work etc. I noticed this happened on a custom rom so I thought I'd go back to stock and it was still doing the same thing. No issues on google music either. I am on a unlocked Nexus 6 on Verizon, but I find it unlikely that this would be the issue. I also noticed that I've had 2 times where the screen freezes in a split screen. I read this was possibly a custom kernel issue or a hardware issue. I bought the device on swappa so I'm starting to worry that it is a hardware issue. Anybody have this issue at all, or give any input? Thanks.

I use Pandora constantly when in car. Have for the past five years or longer. I do not have any issues with fast foward on steering wheel controls. I also pay for Pandora One and am now using the Pioneer NEX series of head units. But even with the One plan you can only activate skip and thumbs down about four or five times in a row and it locks you out for thirty minutes. Don't know if this helps but there you have it.
So I kind of figured out what's going on. If the screen is on on the phone the steering controls don't work. Once the screen is off they do. I'm not sure if this is by design or if it's something specific to the nexus. This didn't happen on my turbo so it threw me off. It is annoying but I can live with it.
I would like to know if this is an issue with having an unlocked device on Verizon as opposed to the Verizon nexus 6. Wouldn't seem like it would matter but I've gotten paranoid about what might not work in the future since Verizon doesn't recognize them.

Nothing to do with it in any way

Good to know. I think it has to do with my imid system in my civic I know there were issues in the past with Android and Bluetooth.

Did you have the imid stock system or did you always have an aftermarket head unit?

DTMF tones not working in calls

Anyone had this problem? The setting is toggled in the menu, it makes a noise on key press, but the call recipient doesn't seem to receive it.
Had this problem with my last handset (P20 Pro), and now realise I have the same issue again.
I will contact Pixel support tomorrow when they're open again, and currently on a slow web chat with Vodafone.
Just tried a few things, appears that they do work on ear piece, but not when on loudspeaker. Vodafone suggests the phone is faulty. I'll speak to Pixel support tomorrow.
If anyone has a few minutes spare, could you see if you have an issue with this?

Has the same issue and came up with the same results. Speakerphone caused it to fail. I think the tone is being heard and picked up at the same time maybe. Switching to ear piece solved it.
Seems a very odd 'bug'. Wonder if there is a fix for it?
Used the Pixel support chat thing today.
I was told to force stop the phone app, uninstall all updates, and clear the cache from the app.
Install update for Phone app from Play Store, reboot phone and test.
Tried it twice and working at the moment.
Might help someone out.
After having this issue for over a year, I finally found a (so far) permanent fix. Update/change your APN settings on the phone. I am a T-Mobile customer so I went to the site to get the correct settings. I added a new one and everything has been going well.
I'd tried every fix I could find via googling, but nothing stuck longer than a day. It's been over a week and I'm still working. I hope this helps someone because this was the worst issue to have in this current video meeting era.
