I have a samsung focus S and when I try to call or use voice recognition the mic does not pick up anything (probably broken) but when I put the call on speaker phone people can hear me talk. Is there a way to fix/switch the main mic with the speakerphone mic without going into speakerphone mode?

With my iPhone or Blackberry, I can plug in earphones (without a mic) and talk directly to the phone and the other party can hear loud and clear. This way I can talk hands free with any earphone. However, with the focus I am unable to do this. I plug in earphones and I can hear everything okay, but talking to the phone is completely useless. No one else can hear what I am saying. Do I need to activate the built-in mic? Or is the mic on the phone just really terrible? Do I need to have an earpiece with a mic for this to work? If so, I feel that this is a huge negative..

it depends on the minijack that you are using, some will contact the mic ring and then the phone will think your headset has a mic and thus will disable the phone's mic.
the aux cable i use for my car is short (or is missing the ring) and i can listen to calls through my car speakers and just talk out loud and the phone hears it. i have yet to have anyone complain that they can't hear me.
so, maybe try another headphone cable and see if that helps.
some phones have this function built-in, if not you cannot use it.
I did some testing with phone call audio after I read somewhere that the back noise canceling mic might be causing the problem.
I called myself from a land line, muted the mic on that phone, and answered with my N6P. I listened on the land line and talked on the N6P. My voice sounded real muffled. I then covered the back mic up with my finger and the voice quality went up 10X. I did this multiple times.
To make sure the back mic was not damaged I took a video of myself talking to test the mic quality. Upon playback, the sound was great. This leads me to believe that my mic hardware is not at fault here.
Do others have this issue? It seems like a software issue relating to phone calls only. Thanks for any info/experience!
I have issues when doing speakerphone and video calls with Hangout. I have to talk into the top speaker grill for the other side to hear me. If I move the phone away just 1 feet, my voice gets canceled out and the other side can't hear me.

I wonder if you cover they back mic if that will improve your speaker phone experience. This kind of confirms to me that it is software. I wish we could turn the noise canceling software off just for calls. I mean, I want it but not if it will cause problems for phone calls.
I guess for now I will just cover the back mic with my finger during calls. Is there a website where we can report bugs for the N6P specifically?
No news on this? Renders speaker calls on Hangouts, Viber etc useless.
I will be listening to music through headphone, and a call comes and it isnt through headphone, I call with headphones in and call goes through phone speaker as if I do not have hadphones in at all.
If I press the speakerphone button, I will then hear through my headphone, but still cant talk through headphone mic.
I thought the call screen is supposed to give you options (headset, or headphones) but I think only saw it once, only thing the button does now is just switch the speakerphone and off the speakerphone.
Any one run into the same problem?
I have a similar issue except whole connected to my aux receiver in my car i can't take calls through bt i have to pick up the phone
I have the 3gb variant from flipkart. When I tried calling someone on whatsapp video call I noticed that the other party couldn't hear me, the mic volume was too low and his voice was repeating. This problem is only with an earphone, built-in mic works properly.
There appears to be a mic at the top of the phone and a mic at the bottom of the phone, I assume to record in stereo. For voice calls on speakerphone, which mic is active? I'm trying to figure out which is the best way to hold the phone when it's noisy and I want to speak directly into the mic.
And for other functions like google assistant, should I be speaking into the top or bottom mic?

I don't think so. The top one is the noise cancellation mic
