When using a wired headset I practically have to scream for the other person to hear me. Looks like a number of people have reported the issue here as well: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41860
Has anyone else had this issue? Has anyone found a fix for it?
EDIT: I called T-mobile tech support and they reset some **** on their end and I rebooted my phone and now my problem is gone. Not sure how it got fixed but it is now.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this issue?
Right after the 4.3 update I can no longer hear anything out of the earpiece speaker.
Wired headsets and speakerphone work fine. But, can no longer hear the phone ringing or hear anyone on the other end.
There are a few people reporting this problem on the google products page:

I have tried rebooting and Factory Restore.
Phone has never been rooted/unlocked or modified in any way.
Thanks
Same happened to me and i also stumbled across that thread. I am using soundabout as a temporary fix and so far it has been fine. Hopefully there will be a more official fix soon.
Hi,
I have problem with my Nexus 4 on stock soft, it was present on 4.3, now after update to 4.4 nothing changed. Issue remains.
When I put loudspeaker on during call, person I am talking to says that he barely or even doesn't hear me.
It's a bit ironic, because while googling for the solution I've found that people tend to have issue with normal mode and turning on speaker mode fixes the issue. Out of the 2 I prefer my problem, nevertheless I talk a lot while driving, so this is annoying. Any one encountered this issue? Is there simple fix or I have to service my brand new phone?
Did you ever find a fix, this happens with my nexus 4.

I still have that issue and still no solution for it. Anybody?
Any resolve this issue?
I've noticed this issue on my nexus 4 as well.
When I have the loudspeaker on, its as if the microphone is picking up noise or something constantly. So if I'm on an automated menu (lets say when calling a bank) and you're suppose to say say your account number, the system will immediately say "we did not get that...etc" as if my phone microphone is always picking something up. Also when I talk to people on it, they say they have troubles hearing me.
I have no issues when on regular (non loudspeaker) mode though.
Most of the times.. It is a software issue... Try flashing the stock firmware.. From Google developers website

Hi, I recently started to have a call issue where people can't hear me over their phones. Seems to happen with iPhone users a lot. Doesn't matter if I call them or if they call me, the other person can't hear me, no matter how I position the phone or how loud I speak. But if I turn on speaker phone, than they hear me perfectly once again.
I tried disabling voice enhancement which seemed to help a little bit.
I was wondering if there was anyone else that is having a similar issue.
I am hoping this is something I can fix, and not a hardware issue like a broke mic.
I am rooted running Tmobile clean rom. No major mods or anything.

The earpiece on my Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720) does not work, so I cannot hear calls (or any other audio that uses the earpiece). The other person on the call can hear me fine and speakerphone and headphones work. I bought the phone used, so it seems like it would be a hardware problem, except for the fact that I am able to make it work by opening HwModuleTest (dial *#0*#) and pressing the receiver button. This creates a tone through the earpiece and the problem goes away until for a while, only to come back at seemingly random intervals, or when I reboot. All this was happening with the stock firmware (4.4.2).
I then switched to CyanogenMod 11 M12 (4.4.4), because I do not like the stock OS and because I hoped it might solve this problem. Unfortunately, the problem still remains, but I now have no way to mitigate it at all because CyanogenMod does not have HwModuleTest or something similar as far as I know.
I found a few similar problems on the internet, but they were are either unresolved or the solution did not work for me. A common cause was that the phone falsely detected that headphones were plugged in, but I don't think this is the problem because I used the SoundAbout app (as recommended in one case) to force the use of the earpiece and this did not fix the problem.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problem or has any ideas of you to solve it. Thanks.I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problem or has any ideas of you to solve it. Thanks.
Bump. Does anyone ever heard of this problem before?
Got the 6P, love the phone, but Im having an issue. Whenever Im in a call, and Im using a wired headset/headphones (mic and earphones), I can hear the microphone. Meaning, I can hear myself. If I tap the microphone, I can hear it too. And the thing is, its much louder than the sound of the person Im on the call with. It makes calls quite frustrating because I can hear the mic rubbing up against my shirt more than I can ever hear the other person. Whats going on here? Anyone else have this problem? Ive tried several different mics and its all the same issue. Is this a problem with the phone? I just bought it, should I return it?
I don't have such issue but it was recently made aware that when using the speaker it causes "noises". Not sure if ota updates will fix it or not. If I were you and you are within the return policy, do it and order another one. Perhaps you got a lemon?
