I don't know why so sudden my V20 got problem with it's mic.. There is even a bigger problem which is I don't even know what to be replaced now..
There is 2 situation here :
1 - When in call, with normal mode..everything is working fine but whenever i'm trying to put my phone to loudspeaker mode.. The people whose in call with me is claiming that there is a dead silence when i'm in loudspeaker mode..
Same goes when i'm in Whatsapp Videocall as example, i can hear them but they can't even hear me..
2 - When i'm doing recording with HD Voice Recorder app, the left channel won't even got anything recorded.. Only the right channel does the job..
Same goes with video recording, only right channel does the job while the left channel sound records nothing..
I'll be informed that V20 have 3 mic and it is obviously one at top and one at the bottom while another one is inside the phone nearby the earpiece if i'm not mistaken.. so now, i'll need help.. Which mic should i'll replace to get everything working again?
I'll believe my top mic is broken but which one? The one at the left before the earpiece or at the right next to earpiece? HELPPpPpppPpppPp
nevermind, got mine fixed.. just replace the new mic at the top and now i have back my fully functional V20 again..
i'll never know that phone is using a different mic for normal call mode and loudspeaker call mode.. Now i'm feeling like an idiot because everytime i'll do loudspeaker, i do scream at the bottom mic while it is using top mic ATM.. gosh
I just got mine and no one could hear me, i pushed a thumb tack in the bottom mic hole because it looked like a little plug or plastic was blocking it and and now it works fine, mine was a refurb phone
Bottom mic
My phone mics worked in speaker phone calls but not talking through the regular in-call mic. I had a repair man change the bottom mic today. He had to install 4 mics to get it and the one that worked was out if a Samsung phone! Cost me USD$60. Apparently my phone had water damage before I bought it used. That's annoying but I'm back in business!
I am in the same exact situation. Replaced the main loudspeaker, top two earpiece speakers and still my voice won't come through on the other end of a normal headset mode call. Only can speak through loudspeaker. What part must I replace? I'm thinking normal headset mode sound is received through the pinhole area next to the 3.5mm jack. What part do I replace?! It's getting personal now. I will fix this phone!!
Not counting the two earpiece speakers up top on the mainboard, and the large loudspeaker on the bottom what other speakers are there for me to replace?

Hello people!
I just got 2 days ago a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II I9100.
To my disgrace the bottom microphone isn't working at all in any circumstances.
I tried to increase volume levels as noted by some users in service menu, updated to KG3 (2.3.4), hard reset,... none of this changed a bit.
I checked that top microphone works recording a video, talking and then putting a finger over it and it stopped recording any sound at all.
Could this be a software issue? or my bottom mic is dead from factory?
Shall I try to open my phone and check for the mic not being visibly broken? There's a seal that will break if I open it and could not return to Samsung to ask for repair?
Please help, I'm very frustrated.
EDIT: Playing with the sound recorder app and literally shouting to the little hole with the top microphone hole bloked seams to record slightly. It may be alive, but the volume in all applications and calls isn't recording anything of use. I tried again to change all volume settings in service menu and nothing changed.
Sounds like a Hardware issue. I wouldn't open the phone up though, you will invalidate your warranty.
I think you are going to have to send it back for repair/exchange.
Send it back for an exchange

So, it is the top or the bottom microphone that is not working? Your post indicated at the start that the bottom one was not working and then in your edit you said the top one was not recording.
Are you able to make standard voice calls? If you are, then the microphone is working. The bottom microphone is meant for voice, the top microphone is for noise cancellation. So the top microphone does not record anything.
No, you got me a little wrong or I messed my explanation.
The top microphone is working because I managed to record sound making a video and then blocked it with a finger to check if it was it with which the phone was recording, and yes was the top which was working because no sound was recorded after blocking the top microphone.
I'm not able to do phonecalls as it's the bottom one not recording any sound.
I played with the sound recorder app and only when I really shout at the hole of the microphone get my voice recorded slightly.
I tried to bump up the values of volume in service menu that some users comment, but anything improved.
Any ideas of what other option do I have other than take it to Samsung's technical support?
I also will have to reset the custom rom flashing counter before, don't you think so?
Hi Dreamer, have what sounds the same issue. I have just gotten it back from repairs for an issue with battery consumption. Think it was a faulty battery. They reflashed it back to something original, and after I flashed it back to the latest lightning, 4.2 or something I've had the problem. I've tried flashing it back to a more original rom, and back to 2.3.3 ... other kernels as well. No luck. It used to work brilliantly though ...
One more thing ... Like I described in this question, I have the same thing, BUT when I initiate a call with the headset, sound quality through the headset is GREAT. But if I during the call disconnect, and reconnect my headset, sound pickup is CRAP even through the headset, that worked a second ago! Do you get that too?

Hi Larswa!
I also used the headset in the search for making a few calls, it seemed to work OK until I used with noise ambience, then it was almost inaudible by me, to low volume even at the top volume.
Now it's in an official repair store, I'll call them tomorrow to see if I can pick it up. I'll update with the status.
So, after changing the peripherals the problem was still there and was sent to a higher repair centre to check the motherboard.
Still waiting, now two more weeks minimum.
Omg im having the exact same problem did exactly everythig u did let me know asap what they tell you i dnt have a warranty so im praying i dnt have to send it to get fixed myself and end up payin my arm & leg

I don't know, but opening up your phone by yourself after 2 days is going to brake your 2-year guarantee from Samsung...
Just bring it back to Samsung or an official retailer, it may save you some money...
Oh crap, i didn't read the whole thread...it's already solved...

Hi all,
I just got a Nexus 4 recently and I've been racking my brain with what on earth is happening with the microphone.
The problem is that the microphone WORKS PERFECTLY when doing a google search, voice call in normal mode, or voice recording. It does not work at all if I enable the speakerphone during a voice call. This seems to be exactly the opposite problem that others are having with the Nexus 4. I can still hear the person in the call but when I talk, they can't hear me. Not even white noise, just total and utter silence.
I have tried 2 flex cables (trying replaced the initial one whose microphone didn't work at all, at the time I had CM11) and tried flashing everything (baseband, recovery, system) to stock 4.2.2, tested it with no luck. I then flashed everything with the latest version 4.4 off google's developer section and tested with the same issues. I've tried factory resets, unplugging the headphones, and also soundabout and nothing resolves the issue.
When I look at the flex cable and the phone housing, it seems to me that there is only one microphone on the bottom. On the top, there is the noise canceling mic, but I don't think this has anything to do with the speakerphone. Am I wrong? Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I don't know whether this is a hardware problem or some low level software issue.
UPDATE:
I noticed something super strange. If I plug a headphones w/ a mic into the headphone jack, I can actually hear very loudly and in great detail the friction from my fingers moving up and down anywhere the case of the phone, and if I tap on the body of the phone (anywhere, even near the USB port on the bottom) it's like stuffing paper into your ear canals. I can still hear the person on the other end fine, and they can also hear just as clear and loud when I touch the phone body. This phone is a science experiment now. The closer I move my fingers to the bottom of the phone near the mic, the louder it gets.
've tried everything. You also changed the Kernel, I do not know ... Maybe it's a problem RADIO, but I doubt it.
Eventually contact Google support
Typical factory problem....when i bought my Nexus 4 (S/N shows production date is October 2013 so its the newer batch with little nipples and camera lens offset fix) the microphone was dead and i could've only talk through headphones and speakerphone....took it to the repair shop and everything works now. Don't know what they replaced, maybe it wasnt the microphone.
I noticed that when I was playing with Snapchat and was trying to record music from my earbuds that the best place to hold my earbud was next to the hole on the back of the phone and that when I held the earbud next to the speaker on the front (specifically the bottom one) the audio from the headphones was almost inaudible. This seemed pretty weird to me since when I talk to people it's usually into the bottom part of my screen and not the back of the phone... Regardless, when I switched to the mic on the back it was equivalent to hearing the music directly from the earbuds. Any reason for this?
My microphone wasn't working that well..everybody I talked to on the phone said I sounded muffled . I got a replacement today. You have to notify project Fi
It's a common problem, RMA won't fix it as it is a software issue.
It happens because of noise-cancellation being set to too aggressive. You can't change it without root, so we'll just have to wait for Google to fix it via patch.
Hi, can someone test the left and right speaker of your phone and tell me if the volume of both speakers are the same, in my phone the right speaker Is louder than the left speaker Is this normal?

Same on my Nokia 6. Left speaker is more as supportive one, making the sound depth.
So I think this is normal.
Speakers
Both speakers of device are dead only the speaker at the receiver is working
The bottom (or right as you may say) speaker is the one that makes bass sounds and is primarily the louder one. The top (or left) one is only to produce Stereo effects. It's also a little lesser loud than the bottom one.
In my case, after close to a use of 2 months, my bottom speaker is giving me problems. It's making static sounds, the speaker starts working only after half a second later to the top one. It's like it shuts down itself after every silence amd so needs some time to wake up to work.
Nokia Mobile Care called me and asked me to reset my phone first, and then if the issue stays take it to service centre. I don't think a phone reset will help though.

HI guys, please help me with my LG V20 VS995
Internal microphones (i tested them individually) works when using a recorder app.
Recording is loud and clear but when i call anyone, they cant hear anything.
External mic with headphones does work.
Things i did:
Factory reset. Clear cache, different firmware, root, no root etc ,nothing helps.
V20 has 2 built in microphones. Tried to swap, leave one attached or another no change.
Replaced phone jack with brand new, no change.
Soldered brand new microphone or swapped with the one from the top, no change.
Re-seat chip thats located near bottom microphone, assuming it has anything to do with it.
Few days ago after i soldered another microphone, it started to work and then it stopped working not sure when, maybe after i dropped the phone ?
I am running out of ideas.
I dont understand why when using app, voice is loud and clear but when i call, no one can hear me.
As if there is some kind of switch somewhere that activates ONLY when call is placed.
UPDATE:
I performed another test today by calling my self from skype.
When i steadily buzz directly into the microphone, the voice i head in skype is pulsating from quiet to loud.
I resoldered the mic again, this time using little more solder around the hole and now i can it works BUT only if i talk on the speaker.
I am very confused right now as to whats causing it
