Where is the Mic?

I cannot for the life of me find any little mic holes on this thing. Anyone find any, did they use the reset hole to house the mic in?
Hold it in landscape and in the middle top part of the glass there is a small slit where the glass meets the bezel. There's ur mic.

Wouldn't that be funny if people are reporting low mic volume because they have their thumb over the mic.

Thanks, but I just do not see it, even with my glasses on
it's there - very small slit about 5mm long or less.
Have you applied a screen protector? If so then it may be covering the hole - I didn't even know the mic was there but luckily my screen protector isn't blocking it
Mic
Picked up the Acer tab cover at Staples on Wed. It has a small round opening for the Mic on the upper bezel directly below the space between the volume rocker and the screen lock. If you look close you can spot the small grill cover.
the small gap is there look carefully...Julz is right
I think I found it. Is it located UNDER the glass by the lock rotation switch. Or is that the light sensor?

That's the light sensor. If you've got the Acer case, it's directly underneath the Velco circle on the case. :/

There are actually 2 mics on the Acer... Check inside the SD-cover too, in the lower corner theres a little circle, I believe that's the echo-cancel mic. I believe that mic subtracts output from the speaker from the main mic's signal. Could be wrong about that - but we definitely have 2 mics on the unit.
Sad, just sad. Old man can't find the hole. Maybe you should ask the wife.

I understand that is the light sensor.

[Q] calling bugs?

has anyone noticed a bug when you make a call? My fiance and i both got our nexus 4s and noticed whenever we call each other the screens go black and we have to reboot phones completely to get it back to normal... it doesnt make sense!
Are you perhaps using a screen protector that covers the proximity sensor (the two little dots in the upper left corner)? It's been reported that screen protectors like that can cause the screen not to turn back on after a call.
ok i failed... it was our screen protectors... be aware screen protecter causes problems with the sensors....!

You need one if you don't want the glass to get scratched. Little pieces of sand etc... that are in your pockets or whatever will scratch the glass. It prob wont be deep scratches or anything, but you'll get those little faint whisper type scratches for sure. So for me i'd rather use a screen protector, let it get dinged up and just switch them out every so often.
On a side note, its not hard to modify the protectors to expose the prox sensor. Just take very sharp scissors or an Xacto knife and trim the piece needed at the top.

Thanks! I was having this exact problem and getting extremely frustrated.
If you are using SGP call turn, they Afr hanging out free replacement. Faster shipping than Google I'm sure

[Q] Cracked Glass

Hi all,
A cursory search didn't turn up any results here, so sorry if this is a duplicate post.
My a500 took a bit of pressure in my briefcase and the glass on the front cracked from corner to corner. The display is fine, touch works perfectly, there's just a crack across the front that's a bit distracting.
My question: What is this piece called? Is it the digitizer? Is there just a piece of protective glass across the top? Where can I get one?
Thanks!

The digitizer is actually underneath the glass.
You should be able to find parts on E-Bay.

[Q] Screen protector to cover the WHOLE surface?

Hey guys, so I just got my membrane screen protectors for the nexus 4, installation was pretty quick and bubble-less. I noticed tho, not all of the surface is covered.. just the screen. The edges and the other parts of the frontal glass are not covered and therefore scratch-exposed. I googled a bit and found out there probably is no screenprotector which allows FULL cover of the surface.
Can you guys confirm? I think these Membrane protectors I got are just bad.. crazy cheap price for 6 protectors. They are crystal clear tho.

It has a slight curve at the edges which doesn't allow for complete adhesion, and at the top for the camera and prox sensors need to be open...so someone decided.

Thanks man. So which protector covers more?
I always have taken my phones to Ghost Armor, they cover everything for $40. They'll replace all of it for $10. It's almost rubber feeling but it's crystal clear.

$40? That's a lot for a screen protector. I'll just stick to Membrane protectors
To anyone having tried both Membrane screen protectors and Mediadevil protectors, which one is the best? My membrane protectors get veeeery dirty with fingerprints and crap, and cleaning up is not that easy. Crystal clear tho.
The screen protectors have to expose a few essential parts like the the front camera and proximity sensors etc. I don't see what the problem is as just about all of them cover a large percentage, unless you want to paint the phone in wood gloss.
You can use Skinomi wet screen protector and it seems to have a larger surface area and curves around the side edges of the phone. But that expose the screen protector to cases, when you put a case on, the case edges will dig into the screen protectors and lift it up. Skinomi is pretty good with resisting fingerprints and smudges for me.
I'm currently using the "iloome tempered glass" and the only thing it exposes are the front sensors.

Ordered a couple Mediadevil today from Amazon, in a week or so I'll get them. Don't mind if it doesn't cover the entire surface (btw I knew FFC and proximity sensors don't have to be covered).

[Q] Using a Screen Protecter on Note 3

In the N900W8 manual for the Note 3 it states Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions.
Your opinion please.
Thanks

i use a samsung original screen protector.
If samsung made this i think there is no problem.
I see no sensor problem.

If you're worried about the sensors just pick a tempered glass screen protector that doesn't cover the sensors. I have a Mime Ghost Glass that has a wide cutout for the speaker and all the sensors. It looks a bit odd at first but you'll never need to wonder if there is anything messing up the proximity sensor.
There are a few others like that, too.
