Hi, All.
I have a Samsung S4 and from day 1 I have had this call problem.
When I make or receive calls, the person on the other end cannot hear my voice at all. I have disabled noise reduction both in the settings menu and have toggled it on/off during the call.
Now, I've done a few tests.
1) During calls the other person can hear noises that I simulate such as tapping on the table or tapping on the phone. I tested both the top (for noise cancellation?) microphone and lower microphone and the tapping noise is definitely louder on the lower microphone.
2) Voice works perfectly when using my headset. (Not a network issue)
3) Tested voice recording and it works fine. I spoke on the top of the phone and bottom of the phone (to see if it receives noise on the top microphone) and the voice is definitely louder when voice is coming from the bottom of the phone.
4) Voice command works fine.
5) Calls work find during speaker mode.
Now all I can think of is that this is a problem with my setting or this is a software issue.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,

So I've factory reset my phone.
Results are I can now BARELY hear my voice SOMETIMES.
Like for example I try speaking in a completely silent environment, they only way the caller hears my garbled up voice is when I cup to phone my mouth.
This even won't work if I turn on the noise reduction feature.
So I'm guessing there is still some noise reduction feature on apart from what we can activate/deactivate during the call and in the settings menu.
Is my voice that ugly that it's now considered to be noise!? I've been told that I have a radio voice :laugh:

Well cant say whats the main cause of the issue may be the mic has some issue
If possible b4 showing it to service centre flash a firmware using Odin and reset the device and then see if the problem is gone check the voice b4 installing any apps etc

Has anyone figured out how to record phone calls on the XDA2??
I have tried just about every recording app out there and the only way I have been able to do this is using the phone on speaker and recording in notes or sound recorder.
:shock:
From my experience no need to use the speakerphone.
Just using the phone on your ear will record both yourself as the other side (maybe my volume is higher than yours :? )
Pity though one cant use this when using a headset or carkit . . .
Thanks, it works.... I didnt think that it would. I would like to get an app to automatically record phone calls, any ideas??
Don't know what is wrong with mine, but when I press the record button during a normal conversation, my voice is recorded and the voice of the other person is very soft very soft... Hard to hear.
What could I do about that?
It happens to me exactly the same as j_met.
I can hear only my voice...
@ edsub
Can you hear both sides equally loud and clear?
Thank you
I hear the other side just a bit softer than myself.
Good enough in a quiet environment.
My in-call volume is set half-way.
Same for me and very annoying. I think this dumb device only records what you say to the microphone. If you can [barely] hear the other person, it's only because your volume is so high that the microphone picks it up..
why in the world would you need to record only what YOU say?? I think it must have took at least 3 engineers to build it this way.
~zzz
BTW, I have W2003SE 2.02 ENG installed and still no improvement

Ever heard of memo-recorders??
Recording a phone call is a nice extra (its posibility is nowhere stated/promised). Pity it doesnt work with all devices.
Hmm it seems to work well with mine in all places except very loud environments. In some instances it would not have been possible for it to have picked up the other end through the speaker (too much noise) but it still records them... not sure how it works!

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
found it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256734
i ordered one new mic and replaced it, it is all ok now
I find it quite strange that the phone does not allow to make outgoing calls when the keyboard is closed.
Because when you have an outgoing call you can still close the phone and the call will continue. That profs that it's possible. But with to much emission? If not...
Could there be some way overcome that that limitation?
The issue is that if you close the screen, the microphone is hidden.
Yep. The MIC is on the keyboard, which gets covered when you don't have the keyboard flipped out.
The issue is that it's even impossible to answer a call when the headset is connected.
Yesterday I was outside, it was windy and friend called. The headset was connected. I had the phone in my pocket and closed the phone while I was asking my friend if he might hear any differences in the quality of my voice.
He recognized no change in quality and we were able to talk just normally without problems. Does the headset has a microphone or is always the microphone of the phone used?
In any case, not being able to answer a call with headset connected without opening the phone is quite poor.
I would like to have an app to fix this behaviour. I don't like being patronized by Motorola.
PS: I just recognized that the headset has a single button for answer/hang up. Just the application for incoming calls does not have this feature which is still quite poor. Is the standard android (without motoblur) better?
Behind that 'single button' on the headset, there is a microphone. That's why if you have a headset(not to be confused with headphone), you can make a call w/o opening the phone.
However, as I've tested, even when the phone is closed, the MIC near the keyboard blocked by the phone's screen can still function normally(via Voice Search).
During call neither i can hear caller's voice nor caller can hear me.. First it was on only one sim Vodafone so i shuffled it still the problem was in slot where i have Vodafone sim. i thought it may be a network issue, but after flashing pixel experience custom rom the problem is on both the slots, neither i can hear caller's voice nor caller can hear mines.. i tried flashing different rom , tried restore through TWRP, searched many threads didn't found solution , tried sound about app but it crashes whenever i start it. also tried clearing cache of dialer app and giving all permissions, still no result.
what is working:
Micro phone is working, (used call recorder and voice recorder for testing)
earpiece is also fine, (used whatsapp call)
speaker also fine, (played music)
used headphones and hands free still same problem,
handset:
Xiaomi Mi A1
stock rom: Rooted
then flashed : Pixel experience
used aos custom rom still same problem.
if anyone know the solution please reply,
and guide me
and sorry for my bad English,
Wait for OTA update to 9.0 and all will be normal
Could you solve it? I have the exact same problem except for one thing: I installed Lineage.
I have similar problem, but on my phone, caller can hear me, and I almost can't hear caller, even call volume is set to max, I am on Stock pie, Feb security patch

Have you ever rooted your phone and used any sound mods like viper HD..??
No, my phone is fully Stock with no modifications
You must try to flash stock rom from fastboot

I had the same problem with you what I did was Cleaning the speaker with an chewing-gum, believe me it did the job.
Have to try this, I found on MIUI forum, that pushing the edges of the speaker by the needle can be helpful too, but you have to be careful, because if you'll push too hard, you can damage your speaker. On my phone, after that method speaker became a bit louder, but not that loud as it was in the beginning.
sorry for my english

Disable your ok google detection
1. go to app drawer by swiping up on home screen.
2. open Google app
3. goto settings
4. Search for voice and tap on that.
5. "Ok Google Detection" tap on this (if you don't see
this option you must see "Voice Match" tap on that)
6. turn all of them off, make sure that they are grey
eyed.
Make a call now:good:
Hey guys, I have a bit of a weird one. We have 2 x720 in our home, and one of them is now suddenly unable to use the built-in mic when calling. I have done the following steps to narrow it down:
Checked the permissions - everything relevant has both microphone and calling permissions.
Used a Whatsapp call - no sound.
Used a Whatsapp recorded message - there is sound (microphone is working).
Made a call using a headset - there is sound.
Switched the SIM cards between the phones - the problem persists with the original phone.
Reflashed LOS16, and then AICP14 - problem persists.
I even went by a rather bad YouTube tutorial and turned off Google Assistant, but to no avail.
So I'm a bit clueless here - can someone give me any insight as to what's going on? Or, more importantly, how to just fix it?
Did you try handsfree button in normal phone call to see if mic works?
I am guessing now, but I think there are 2 microphones, one on the bottom and one on top of the phone.
Try with "Hardware test" by Da2da2 from play store.
You may have a hardware issue.

I didn't try handsfree button. Hardware test confirms both mics work.

Still, you reset the phone and tried two different ROMs and still it did not work, there is no other possibility than hardware damage.
Unless you somehow manage to mute yourself when you make whatsapp calls only
Try a normal call with and without handsfree. Should be easy enough...
Problem solved. Flashed Cuoco92's 5.9.028S_VR4, and then factory reset and reflashed everything else (20s, LineageOS, GApps). Problem was lower level than just the ROM, but the hardware wasn't faulty.
