primary microphone broken - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

I have a Moto X4 running Android 9.0 (pie). Recently, I have noticed that its microphone is not working in calls i.e. person on the receiving end can not hear my voice, only noise instead. And after searching for possible workarounds, I tried to put it on speakerphone but to no avail, noise still persists. But when I try to record a video via camera app, it records audio clearly without any noise whatsoever.
It has a primary mic and two noise cancellation mics. It seems to me that the primary mic has gone bad and the other two mics are being used in video recording.
So my question is, is there any way to use/force secondary microphone as a default mic through build.prop or some other alternative?
Headphone jack seems to be broken too, so I can unfortunately not use any earphones as external mic.
Please help.

I'm facing the same issue ,have you found any hack for that ?

How do I make my secondary mic as Primary Mic

The main bottom mic on my phone is busted, which gives a static noise during calls but works fine when I switch to speaker mode during call which uses the secondary mic at the back.
I've seen many replace their mic for other phones, can anyone help with this??
Thanks in advance :good::fingers-crossed:

I noticed something odd, in neither phone not telegram/WhatsApp calls the mic work, but if I record a call I can hear my voice in the recordings! And it's not a recordings with external sound noise so it's recorded with standard mic (I suspect rm4x has one mic only).
So the mic is working Ibet, it's just some stupid conf messed up. Don't want to reset though

external microphone when recording video

Has anyone successfully recorded videos on the 4a 5G and used an external microphone? If so, which microphone was it that worked and gave you good audio in the recording?
In a similar thread on the 3a, many people said and external mic should work but, apparently, it didn't.
Since there were no replies to my question, I wanted to report what I just found out. I bought the following from Amazon for $14: PoP voice Professional Lavalier Lapel Microphone Omnidirectional Condenser Mic for iPhone Android Smartphone,Recording Mic for Youtube,Interview,Video and it does work with my pixel 4a 5g. Two things that you need to know, though. One is that you have to select external mic from within the video recorder options pulldown. And, two, you need to unplug the mic to hear the playback when watching your recordings because when it's plugged in, the phone thinks there is a headset attached.
Since I just got it, I don't really have any feedback on the mic itself beyond the fact that it works and it's cheap.

Want to use phone's mic as noise cancellation mic while on bluetooth headset

Hello People/Developers/Geniuses,
I wanted a Module to be built for using my phone's mic as noise cancellation mic and use my bluetooth headset mic as primary mic.
The reason for the need of development is that earphones and TWS earpods don't come with noise cancellation technology and you cannot talk without the background noise.
The mics of these earphones are very sensitive and catch various background noises which create problem with the conversation.
I would like our intelligent developers to make a Module which does the upper work.
Please share if anything like the above is already developed so that i can use it right away and advertise it too.
