Dear all,
As stated in the subject line, I am experiencing issues with the mic while on speaker. So this is happening whenever I used the speakerphone. It will work fine(ie the other side can hear me talk) but after awhile, it will stop working(the other side cannot hear). I will then have to take it off speaker and put it back on. That seems to work. This happens during normal mobile calls and also whatsapp calls. Unfortunately, when trying to record something with Audio Recorder, I haven't hit that issue, and it was recording for more than 4 minutes.
Has anybody else run into this problem? I am running a completely stock Note 5 out of the box, on 5.1.1.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Ben

Same issue here, I'm using note 5 duos N9208 64gb. Please somebody help us...I think is some software issue
Edited my other post, putting the information here where it belongs. I found out how to replicate this bug on a SM-N920I with Android 5.1.1 thanks to a rooted ROM, 3.10.95-SkyHigh_TW_v3.9 UpInTheAir #1.
Turning on speaker AFTER a call connects mutes your own microphone, with no subsequent fix by turning on/off speaker during that call.
Turning on speaker BEFORE a call connects (i.e. you have to make the call) does not mute your microphone.

hi
Found your issue interesting and decided to test according to your theory (set out above )
As i use speaker quite a lot when making calls.
Firstly i have a N920 C , not rooted ,stock Rom .Tested calls speaker (numerous times ) with my Note5 and Note 3 .
Repeated , test after call connects and before calls connect etc etc .
.Well i was relieved , that speaker works 100% .No issues.
So its seems to me,
your bug could be limited to certain Roms or software ..? or did you perhaps use Package Disabler to disable some processes and now have a knock on effect ...no ?
hope you can sort issue out .!
Good luck .
Thanks for your reply and thank you for testing it out! I didn't use Package Disabler at all. I'm trying to find out how to go back to Stock ROM, but the baseband version of N920IDVU2AOKC is hard to find and I have, too late, stupidly realized I don't know how I can do it without having the stock ROM to start with.
Edit: Google is my friend. Samsung-firmware website...

Hello ,
I just got the note, everything works ok, except when i activate speakerphone during a Call. Suddenly the mic volume drops dramatically, other persons could barely hear me.
Do you guys suffer similar conditions ?... I am not sure to return it or not, as the mic work perfectly if speaker is not activated.
Thanks.
Which orientation do you hold it? I found that other people can hear me much better if I put it screen down so the back (and I assume mic) faces me. Do you have a case or something else that might block the mic?

Galaxy Note - ICS - Speakerphone Volume Low
Hi Guys,
I was using the Note on Gingerbread without speakerphone issues and then flashed the stock official build IML74K.XXLPY.
Since then whenever I go to speakerphone the other party can barely hear me. For me its an ICS issue, not hardware.
What Version are you running ?
Update 15/05/12 Flashed back to gingerbread and the speaker phone now works.
Note- ICS 4.0.3 Indian Stock
Guys,
I am also having same issue on activating the speaker during a call.. I remember it worked on gingerbread.. look likes and Software issue.. Samsung seeding 4.0.4 in few countries .. Just hope it will get resolved..otherwise I am going to return it..
Update : I visited Samsung Service Center in my city the issue was resolved after they flashed ICS on my Note. So apparently it was a Software issue..
Thanks
UPDATE:
Samsung service center flashed ICS 4.0.3 on my Note and after that mic was working fine. I got message for OTA(LPA) update after connecting my Note to wifi at home. It seems the issues are in this update only.. as after updating the note mic stopped working normally on activating the speaker during the call again .. Damn Samsung engineers did not check what they are pushing to customers...Shame Sammy...
Hey people,
I have quite a few issues with my new Z3 Compact. This is my second post here (link to first http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/mobile-data-disappears-reboot-t2899890?nocache=1 )..
My question is as follows: Do you guys also have the issue, that the other person in a call can't hear you when you have the call on loudspeaker? It happens to me every time I do it, and as soon as I toggle the speaker off, and use the phone normally up to the ear there is no problem.
This was never an issue with my Galaxy S3 fortunately, but now it is.
Also, any ideas for a fix?
Thank you in advance

Working fine here. Could be so that you're speaker input is broken. Normal call and speaker phone doesn't use the same input.

I am sorry, I didn't explain well enough. They can hear me, my voice is just muffled they say.
I can't wait for cyanogenmod to get to this phone I am having a bunch of software issues
I have the same issue. Usually only happens when you are too close to the mic and you have to be close because the speakerphone is not loud enough
Try speaking a little further away.
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...
Suddenly my Microphone not working in call. People at the other end can't hear me at all (both normal or in speaker phone). However if I use wired headset or Bluetooth headset in call the everything is fine.It was working fine (I was at CF Rom sutl44 with exposed) then it suddenly stop working since a week ago.
My phone is Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader unlocked with sunshine.
At first I thought that maybe my mic is dead but it is not. The voice recorder app (Hi-Q MP3 recorder) can still record from the mics without problem.
I read a lot of this issue and mostly because of software problem, so I tried all that I can think of.
I have reset my phone, even do a full wipe and start clean install but the problem still same.
I flash full stock odexed firmware (sutl44 or 49) with same result.
I flashed resurrection remix rom (the latest) still same problem.
I changed build prop as per some people suggest but still same problem.
From the hardware side, I disassembled my phone and clean mic holes, check mics condition, all seems fine. When I tried using the voice recorder it can register any sound or even touch so the mics are working and sensitive.
FYI, this phone has 5 mics, I checked and tested (with voice recording) them when I disassembled the phone. All are working fine.
I'm really desperate right now.. I love this phone and this is my main phone. I will appreciate any help or suggestions.
Maybe some ROM recommendation that may fix the mics problem.
I just flashed RR Marshmallow to see if I get any luck but unfortunately no.. mic still not working in call.
I tried to remember when this problem start to happen.. I guess it was after I install GravityBox in Xposed and start played around with the GB settings.
I have TWRP backup before I install that GB, I tried to restore the backup but still mic not working in call.
Did Xposed can change something very basic (like a 'driver' in windows) that can't be changed back by re-flash or load a TWRP backup?
Because somehow I think that this 'driver' or 'library' for mic in call is bad or gone.
Please.. any suggestion?
This might be a long shot, but I just had the same issue. After making a call using Google Hangouts, it started working again for me.

tertiary
Remove your tertiary microphone. It is the lower right when looking at the back. After this you must ground your audio output pin or you will get buzzing sound during recordings and conversation. This pin will be lower left out of the four where microphone was removed, there will be a chevron shape beside it which is a convenient ground location. This problem as far as I can tell happened after a security update from Verizon. I realize this sounds like a bogus fix but it made my phone work GREAT. This microphone is picking up your voice as well as the main mic and causing noise reduction to the point of no audio.

Since it's a software based issue, flashing a ROM different from stock firmware wouldn't fix it? He said he tried flashing Resurrection Remix.
BHB27 kernel's problem
I don't read your post carefully, so I don't know if your ROM and kernel is same to me, but I have similar problem in last few days. Finally, I find the problem is the custom kernel, the lastest BHB27 kernel, when I flash the old version custom kernel, the problem is solved. I hope this information can help you.
My ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mpg24-107-70-2-brazilian-6-0-1-t3426234
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/kernel-bhb27-kernel-t3207526
The new kernels have problem, so I flash back to BHB27-Kernel-V201-8-M.zip
i was able to solve the issue by plugging in a headset and then unplugging it. sometimes some dirt/junk get stuck in there, and the phone thinks that it is plugged in, thus muting audio out except through the jack.
I have the same problem, you fixed this problem in your phone?
I try RR (Android L, M and N), CRDROID (Android N) and NX (Android M). In all of this ROMs, I have the same problem.

can you give more details about the problem that you faced?
After nougat update in Moto M mic not working.
I was not ready to do a factory reset. But there is no other option to fix mic issue after nougat update.
So, last night kept back up of all important folder and run factory reset without automatic restore.
Now, everything looks fine to me. Incoming and outgoing calls are working fine.
So, I am suggesting everyone to do a factory reset, this is one and only option to fix mic issue.
Thanks,

Most of my phone calls on this device have been pretty bad.
Most people tell me to turn off handsfree or "Hey! Talk louder!".
I phoned myself on a friend's phone and I herd my voice quite clear and whatsapp audios and recordings work perfectly.
Also when in call plugging in a headset and using the external microphone instantly fixes all problems.
I've made sure I'm not covering any microphone when holding the phone (only one next to charger port right?).
I'm really confused also because I've used 5.1.1 to 7.0 and this problem has persisted indicating it's hardware related.
Try shining a bright light in the hole, look with a magnifying glass. Do you see any junk in there? You ought to be able to see a mesh screen (probably dusty / covered in fuzz). AoN

Put the phone in safe mode and check how the microphone works when you call. If you hear perfectly then it's likely to be a problem in the installed applications that have access to the microphone. Need to understand which application creates a microphone problem?
Did you install the same applications after upgrading to android 7 beta that you installed on android 6.01?
Rather yes, since I also did this, but it turned out that some program interferes with the microphone. I had to reconsider the installed applications and to cancel the permissions to access the microphone.
At me the given problem has disappeared ...
I don't think it's dust in the mcrophone since this happens since day one
I'll give this a shot tomorrow! I don't have many apps but I do have some indispensable that may have interfered with the microphone.
I'll report when I have someone I can try this with. Thanks for the tip!
