Please help,
Samsung have returned my phone twice saying no fault found, but every time I make or receive a call there is no sound on the other end. The mic works for google search, video recording, voice recorder app etc, but as soon as I make a call no one can hear me at all. Any ideas welcome please before I end up selling it as faulty. Gutted and tearing my hair out!
Hey!
I have a similar issue with my S7. Microphone does not work only during the calls. Turning on speakerphone does not help (as it should when you have a broken bottom microphone) and also if I connect headset then the microphone from the headset works. In all other aps both (botom, top) microphones work (I do have stereo in video recording etc.). Did it happen to you after system update or when?
Cheers
A small update:
I have found that the issue is even more silly for me.
So I make a call and the person to whom I am calling cannot hear me. Then I connect a headphones, but ones without a microphone. And suddenly the microphone in the phone starts working. But the moment I disconnect them it stops.
Can you confirm this happening for you?
its old, but i have same problem. Now, I am trying to flash stock rom and see if it will work. After restart, I microphone works only once in call app, that it dont work. But i can record audio with it and in any other app it works. Idk what is the problem, but i want to find out

Hi.
while on call, everyone is having problems hearing me, i even did the test myself with one friend, and the micro cannot have one perceptible reception.
But, while in sound recorder mode, it works ok.
Is there any way to improve the microphone volume while in call? (patches, software, etc)
It might help

I enabled the microphone auto gain control. So far, I have not received any complaint from the people I talk to, on the phone.
but i have that option enabled :/
without it, is even worse
It was always like this, or started suddenly? Maybe it's an hardware problem?
i never used this device often, but only noticed this when i changed to wm6
it is happening too on wm5.
anyone have spare mics?
strange, the voice recorder is working
same problem

i ordered one new mic and replaced it, it is all ok now
Hi all
My Sennheiser VMX-100 headset worked fine on my HTC Rose (WM6) but isn't playing ball reliably on my new Nexus One. Here's a list of symptoms i've noticed:
- Place a call. Screen goes blue. No audio. Call connects. No audio. Press answer button on headset, get audio. (If you press answer before the call connects it drops the call though).
- Place a call. Screen goes blue. No audio. Call connects. No audio. Press answer button on headset, get no audio.
- Call received. Answer with headset. Audio, but no mic, other party cannot hear. (also does this sometimes with placing a call)
So pretty much all call/failure scenarios are observed with this pairing. Has anyone else seen this, or perhaps are interested in debugging?
Thanks
nb: Phone not rooted, running the recent OTA software.
Anyone?
I've got a vmx-100 that I haven't used on the N1, I'll give it a go and report my findings. Charging it now.
Update: 3 calls in/out worked fine, no audio issues.
I tried my VMX-100 today, as my main headset went dead. Guess what? It wouldn't work. I answered the call, but there was no audio.

Aha! At least one of my issues has been reproduced by someone else!
I'm not really sure how I could get these issues properly addressed. I doubt Sennheiser would be interested and no idea how to trace/track the problem on Android?
From the various searching Ive done this seems to be a problem effecting quite a few people. MIne was working fine although now when i make a call noone can hear what im saying. One suggestion ive read was to increase the microphone gain in the service menu.
Does anyone know how to do this as im struggling to find what to do? Or any other suggestions of what to try. I dont think the microphone is damaged as I can record fine from the phone, unless this uses the other mic?
Thanks
Andy
Found this:
If this is a known issue with fix then I apologize, but I searched for hours and couldn't find it mentioned. Since Verizon disabled engineer mode, I had to experiment, going through every app that involved sound recording/input.
When I first got my S5, phone calls were fine. Then one day, no one could hear me unless I basically yelled. The built in microphones were fine for camera/sound recording/tuner usage so I knew they were undamaged. If you are having this problem and have used headphone with your S5, this is probably what happened as I can replicate it 100% of the time.
If you are on a call using your headphones/microphone and unplug them before you end the call, the phone microphone is not properly reset and the gain stays very low.
To remedy, simply plug your earbuds with microphone back in, make a call and then end the call before you remove the headphones. The built in S5 microphone then properly resets for regular gain for phone calls.

Thanks for your reply, ive tried that although still no improvement. Really starting to annoy me now!
Hello All
I bought myself an Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Ze550KL a couple of weeks back.
An overall good phone. But I am facing an irritating issue.
The phone's microphone does not work from some point onwards. Once this happens, when attending(or making) a call, the other person wont be able to hear me.
I am not sure whether its a hardware issue or a software issue. Because once I restart the phone everything is perfect once again. After maybe a couple of calls, the problem resurfaces.
I read in multiple forums of this issue (even in Zentalk) , but nobody has a clean solution. Some of the solutions were -to disable Ok Google Detection, to enable call recording, to switch to loudspeaker, to reboot the phone and so on.
Enabling loud speaker works for me. When I realize the other person cannot hear me, I switch to loud speaker and then he is able to hear me.
Did anybody come across this issue? Is it a software issue? Any help/ideas/suggestions would be nice.
I am hoping its a software bug which will be hopefully fixed in the next system update or so.
Thanks
Hmm that's an odd one I can tell you that I have call recording enabled on a ze551kl and haven't had this issue, but I'm not sure if its specific to the 550 or not. I haven't actually recorded any of my calls, it just pops up and asks me if I want to every time and I tap cancel.

Its not about recording calls.. Its about the recipient not hearing me. The microphone is what is bothering me. I doubt the issue is with the noise cancellation of microphones. Perhaps cancelling more than noise.
When I reboot the phone, everything starts working normally. After a few calls the problem returns, the recipient not hearing me!.
The temporary fix for me is switching to loud speaker. I dont know why, but the mic starts working when in loud speaker. The moment i switch it back to handson, the recipient is again not able to hear me.
Read a few forums in zentalk reporting the same issue
www(dot)asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14486
I am seriously hoping it is a software bug which would be fixed in the next update or so.
I tried the hardware test which behaves differently when the problem occurs and when it is problem free.
The hardware test is perfect if i test the mic just after reboot and when everything is normal.
But once i find out that the recipient is unable to hear me (after maybe a couple of calls/days after the reboot) , i did the hardware test again and certainly was different. A buzz at all times with my voice being completely muffled. Something to do with the noise cancellation mic i believe.
I have tried disabling OK Google Detection.
I have tried enabling call recording.
I have tried reseting factory settings , clear wipe partitions etc.
I have tried enabling dialer pad tones (Dont know why this was marked as a solution in some forums)
But all of the above was not a solution for me. Switching to loudspeaker works. And rebooting the phone (which is irritating during important calls) also works.
Any help would be nice.

To OP,
This is for most of the guys. It's a software issue, dont worry, Just update to latest update. Which happened to me the same, and solved when i updated some random OTA update fix by asus. So the current version on my phone now is LRX22G.WW_user_1.15.40.639_20151029044030520_201505210103

Hi I too have this same issue. I believe it is a faulty model from Asus! I had serviced my mobile last month and the Subboard assembly has been completely changed by those people but still I face the same issue. . Hope I will throw away this bulsh**t soon. Asus not willing for replacement too I argued so many times which is just waste of time. Totally a waste of money and time.
Microphone issue
I am also having same problem once restarted phone is all fine...should i replace phone ??
Bought just 2 days back
Solution
Since you apply this solution the error has not returned to flicks: I cannot post the youtube link, but search the title: Solved: Asus Zenphone 2e mic problem by Jack Scorpion.
I have the same device with the same problem! It was neglible before, and it happened very rarely. But recently it had become worse and that thing happened to all the calls. Switching to loudspeaker works (loudspeaker mode disables the bottom mic and switches to top mic). I reset the device to factory settings (that thing wiped the internal memory too!) and since then, i haven't updated the 'ASUS Calling Screen' from the play store and everything works fine atleast till now.
hai friend try (ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser=ZE550KL (Z00L) software Image: 1.17.40.1234 for WW SKU only) this firmware from asus site or try system update form your mobile. thats old version runing firmware running on your mobile so thats a software problem. this a network issue in that old version asus team doing always best i am also have same problem in past month but my current update installed after working fine. so don worry friends

Try disabling Audio Wizard app
I am also facing same problem. Suddenly the mic of my asus fails to work.
Solution
There is solution. Please post it on another forums after you will check it.
Just hold your phone in your hand in position, which will make sound to reflect directly into your voice microphone. This way you will make a difference in signal between voice and noise cancellation microphone. That's how voice cancellation technology works. I have got this result after one week of search for any effective solution. And did not find any useful info. So I have find a solution after some experiments.
Please post it to another forums if it will solve your problem.
When i call someone (or call me), he cannot listen me!
I thing that i have this problem after using of sound recording.

Hi.
It might not help, but I've got a very similar problem.
My car has integrated Bluetooth.
As soon as I get in the car, then get out again (with the Bluetooth being connected), then I "lose" the microphone.
If I make/receive a call, the person on the other end can't hear me. Voice recording app shows no microphone activity.
If I turn Bluetooth off, the microphone starts working again.
As far as I know, this has only started happening since the most recent Wileyfox update.
Hope this helps.
Pete.
