Microphone issue on 3t?

Hi community,
I just ordered a 3t a few days ago but read afterwards about the massive microphone problems the 3 is suffering.
Phone calls shall be OK but sound recordings in videorecorder, WhatsApp, Skype etc shall sound very distorted, quiet and muffled.
Rumors are that this is a software issue but OnePlus isn't able (or willing) to fix this issue for months now. As the 3t has a slightly newer software build i want to know if this issue is present at the 3t too.
Kind regards

No issues with sound recorded on my 3t. I just listened to several videos I took and the sound was fine.

Thx for your reply. As I just read in a changelog the issue with recording videos got fixed with the 3.2.2 update. But the bad recording quality in WhatsApp, Skype, etc. shall still remain.
So it would be good if someone could test it with WhatsApp or Skype.

Used Skype last night talking to my niece and no issues with the microphone. She said she could hear me loud and clear.

I've noticed very low volume when I record in Snapchat, but haven't tested other applications.

Hmm, so it can not be fully excluded that this issue got transferred from 3 to 3t, damn...

It seems low overall to me, honestly. Snapchat in particular just seems to have a hard time picking up other sounds--like if I take a video of the TV, I have to be fairly close to the sound source. Or it has to do with the media sound level, as that seems super low until the top 20% or so to me.

Duo
My calling partners on Duo report hearing themselves as they speak. Is the microphone too close to the speaker on the 3t?

Made a bug report for this. Watch/reply if you're having the same issue to try and get some attention on the subject, as I hear it didn't work so well for the regular Oneplus 3 and took a while for a fix to roll out. Regular video recording sounds fine, but Snapchat cracks and pops when I record video of another source (TV, etc).

As far as I know it's not completely fixed on the 3 yet!
Still people are complaining about the awkward soundrecording. I think you should have mentioned that this issue is present in almost every third party app that uses the microphone.

Hello guys how´s going?
I´ve just bought an OnePlus 3T and noticed that the sound recording in whatsapp is very distorced and muffled..
I´m running 100% stock the latest update (Nougat 7.0).
Is there any fix for this issue on the mic?
Tks guys

I have no issue on the mic. and have updated to the latest update of Nougat 7.0.
I use to send sound record on whatsapp also just fine. call on whatsapp, or BBM also just fine.
Am sorry i just reply to tell u mine has no issue on the latest update of Nougat 7.0.
but I have no idea on the issue and the fix for it.

Hello guys
Just to add some information, this issue with the mic only happens with WhatsApp recording.
When it comes to record some audio with native SW, the sound is perfect.

i notice this problem too.....during snapchat video audio is not perfect but when we record in audio recorder it is perfect

Major issues here as well...Skype and Hangout Calls are absolutely horrific, I literally have to talk into the device (like 1cm away from it) in order to make sure that my voice remains clear. Even after 10 cm distance my skype/hangout partner has quite a hard time to understand anything. I just tested it with skype test call as well - horrific. I´m on the newest stock. Had no problems with my nexus 6p or my iphone 6S plus, I was able to have calls from like 5 meters distance without problems (honestly)

All this complaining about Snapchat WhatsApp etc... Who cares there all stupid worthless apps that everyone thinks it's so cool to put every second of their lives on there (lames). Heres few permanent solutions for you people. 1. Just stop using those dumb social media apps and talk to people with your mouth like it was intended. 2. Go buy a stupid Samsung phone or something that is commercially big in the States then you wouldn't have a problem. Think about it oneplus probably knew about these bugs before it was ever mentioned here. They aren't concerned with social media apps. They are concerned with their oos bugs and improving there devices.

Why buy a SMARTphone if you can't use social media on it ? Maybe if you had a brain you could answer us.

Me too !! I get the same problem with the recording sound !! Have you find a solution ?

Factory reset that's at least what did the job for me.

I am not sure if it hurt earpiece but dont listen very load for long period .
anyways my note 4 is old almost 2.5 years so personally i dont care.at least i am getting something cool out of it
Thanks for feedback.

This mod has definitely given a new life to my Note 4, thanks for your hard work.
However, when I plug in the headphone, some sound is still coming from the earpiece, which is a bit annoying, hoping it would be fixed.

You should try to install custom rom or reinstall stock rom with fastboot.

during deep sleep, when a call arrives
sound is slow and distorted in incoming call

Me too

WTH, I thought it was a problem with my A2. Right after Pie update I have had 2 issues, 1. Front camera was not working and 2. Speaker distortion during incoming call. Took it to service center who simply flashed a firmware and said both the problems will be solved, but they didn't, they said the front camera module needs to be changed and they didn't have in stock, took it to other service center who refused to login for service stating its just a software issue and will be solved by factory reset! Finally took it to a third service center who opened up and said "the camera connection was lose, and fixed both the issues", front cam was working fine but the speaker distortion was still there. Had to take it to the third service center one more time and replicate the problem there, then they took the phone and said they will be replacing the speaker under warranty, the mobile is still with them as we speak.
And interestingly, when I gave to them to fix the front camera, they reverted to 8.1 but the problem was still there. Wrong proximity sensor placement, yellow band, memory management issues (I can't clean the Chrome cache!), and all the bugs Pie brought in, the worst android phone I have ever owned till date.

I love how this phone falls to pieces slowly and we keep hoping for fixes but each iteration of an update introduces a new bug ... Mi A3 slowly shows up and still nothing : ))

Xiaomi MI 9 won't ring for incoming calls

My Xiaomi MI 9 won't ring for incoming calls sometimes, it will only do so after I have rebooted it.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a permanent solution?

Let's go over the basics
Is it muted? (DND)
Does it have a ringtone?
Did you cover the speaker?
Was it a recent update?
How long has it been lasting?

Redmi Note 8 Pro phone not ringing for incoming calls. Sometimes caller gets busy signal when phone is not busy. Happens often but not every time, like the phone has a bug or mind of it's own. Therefore receiving calls is NOT RELIABLE> Ringtone, alerts, and settings does not fix the problem. I have a Redmi Xiomi Note 8 Pro 6gb, anroid version 10 AP1A. This is unacceptable for a phone product. What is the solution, trash the Xiomi brand and buy what? (I already don't like Apple).

Question Redmi Note 10 Pro video call audio problem

Got this phone as a secondary device for our new business and so far I'm very happy with it for the price and my mum has just got it to replace her aging Honor V10. However I have noticed when on video calls with her, her voice sounded very muffled and like she was underwater and I could barley hear her on Whatsapp. However, when we did a voice only call on whatsapp she sounded fine. I have tested with my phone as well and exactly the same problem occurred which suggests that this is a common hardware limitation or software issue. Any advice?

Got the same problem on my WhatsApp video call with remi note 10 pro. But when I'm using a headset to make a video call, my voice was clear. Any suggestion or advice?

same i was reported even on messenger that people couldnt hear me well , and there is no option to adjust microphone

it's totally software related problem, there's lot of bug and issues in this miui 12.5 rom, if don't have problem with this issues then wait for their miui update, or you can unlock bootloader then install custom rom in it, I did it and now work well for me. Install pixel experience rom

I'm facing the exact same issue what you're going through.
I brought redmi note 10 pro max on Saturday 7/8/2021 and I was checking all the specs and all.. All was truly good but the problem happened only on call.
1. My bf investigated that when he calls me. His voice I can't hear it beaks and for him, he is having issue with not hearing my voice.. It sound like my voice is breaking in middle of conversation, so I've to repeat my sentences and this is frustrating.
2. I checked the speaker quality, this is more worse than without speaker quality. Realme xt was indeed my ideal phone which I've to give to my sister. When I kept the phone on speaker, it sounded like I was speaking softly, and some of my words were cancelled. He said that the noise cancellation of redmi note 10 pro max when kept in speaker is also cancelling the my voice.it like can't distinguish between sender voice and background voice.realme is so much better. I really wish realme bring again glass body in 20 k range with AMOLED screen.
I checked even with my mom, she faced the same issue, without speaker worse and with speaker my voice was worst!
I requested for replacement from Amazon, it ws arriving next day.
While it comes, I did factory reset and phone service rest and check for latest update. It was smoothly working for sometime, hence cancelled the replacement which I made mistake. The issue again persists next day only with speaker.. Without speaker, anyone can listen carefully.
So I contacted customer care of Amazon for replacement again but they said they can't replace it.. The replacement is done only twice
1. Original phone replacement
2. Replaced phone replacement
Since I cancel that replace phone, I can only now get refund that is 4-6 working days.
This is so frustrating.
The main functionality of phone is calling, if that only purpose is lost, its like wasting money for nothing.

I think I have found the "solution" for this problem. Im currently on update 12.5.8. The work around for this problem is to reduce the video call volume to half or below. My girlfriend and I have been experimenting recently and found that when the video call volume is less than half , the other person can hear you much clearer. I hope this would help.

I have the same problem on Redmi Note 10 Pro on WhatsApp and Messenger.

I get no issues either with native ViLTE video call or Google duo video call.

Same issue with me as well

In July 2021, we bought two RMN10Pro phones in Pakistan. Both have this exact issue, it's so much torturing that I feel like throwing it out of the window whilst video calling. No one can hear what we say at the receiving end. So far, non of the official OTA updates fixed the issue, hoping MIUI 13 will, and are waiting for it eagerly.
My old trusty HTC 10 has a crystal clear call experience at the same time.

Try going to the Xiaomi service center near you and discussing it with them. Report back to us their reply. If they say it is a hardware issue, get it replaced/repaired by them, if they say it is a software issue, also then ask them to fix it. IT IS INDEED VERY IRRITATING!, we have two of these with problems out of the box.
I came to Germany from Pakistan so one of them is with me and I can't go for warranty services, don't know if it has an international warranty. Others back home are not that tech-savvy, so I was looking for a possible solution. Plus, I can't get it replaced from here even if there was a possibility as it would lose the very costly PTA (Pakistan Telecom Authority) registration. The phone was purchased from a Pakistani market, so its IMEI is already registered.
If the upcoming MIUI 13 update doesn't fix it, I'd unlock the bootloader and go for a Pixel Experience ROM.
