Hey guys, whenever I'm in a call with the Dialer app/Skype and switch to speakers, why does it use the mic at the top of the phone (the one for noise cancellation I believe) and not the one at the bottom?
I'm using the latest OMNI rom version.

Well maybe because the speaker is quite near to the lower mic and the person on the video call will get to hear his own voice too while you enable speaker mode.
Thank me if I helped

Hello,

I'm experiencing the opposite with VoIP calls. The other party hears everything include any background noises.

I have an issue with that as well. All this time I thought I was the only one
Same problem for me too....when calling they can't hear me at all but when I turn the loudspeaker on they hear me fine....
Any ideas why or how to fix it?

My Nexus4 has really bad video recording audio and good in-call audio.
It seems from reports here that this is reversed with some people.
When you switch from Normal to Speakerphone mode the audio is re-routed
from the mouth to the videocam microphone.
Here is one quick 'hack' to try, not sure if it will work. Call your friend and ask how they hear you.
Then plug something in the audio jack (headphones, earpiece, whatever) and ask how they
hear you then. If the audio is much better with something plugged in - cut the cord and
keep the phone jack in your phone at all time.
If the sound is better normally - don't use earpieces or speakerphone.
In the meantime hopefully a kernel developer can figure out a fix.

Just tried your little hack... if you make a skype call or video you can put the jack in once and pull it out and the call continues normally...So you are suggesting it is a kernel issue?
Yup happens to me. Its either i raise my voice or take the phone closer to my mouth...

Hi guys,
I have one question about headset without microphone. When I was using HTC OneX and plugged in such headset, the device automatically switches to second microphone that is ment to be used when talking on loud speaker. But on Nexus 4 it's forcing me to use default mic, and no one can hear me because the microfone is not near my mouth. Is there any way to change this (when I plug in that headset so that the phone starts using the mic on the top of device)?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I've been using Nexus 4, and recently this issue started.
when I try to call, the other side can not hear my voice.
However, if I turn on the loudspeaker the mic works fine.
So, the probably the hardware is fine because the same mic works fine when used in loudspeaker mode.
I've not installed anything, not changed anything, its a brand new device.
I've tried starting in Safe mode, it doesn't help.
i was using the stock android from google all these days and issue started. I have now migrated to Cyanogenmod 11 and the issue still persits.
I have downloaded an app from play store called soundabout to try convince my phone that there was no headset plugged in. But of no use yet.
Any help on this please
Help please

Does your earpiece speaker work normally? If so I can only guess the nexus 4 uses top mic for loudspeaker calls. If your bottom mic has failed its easily fixed as it comes as part of the charging block.
It could just be something blocking the mic. Does your voice sound muffled or is it no audio at all?

Yes the earpiece speaker works fine. the bottom mic if u hold it close to ur mouth and talk works just ok...as in the other person cant hear 100% but its like u r talking from a far off place.
Hardware problem, mic - flex cable???

Probably is just dust or something then, get a dental pick or something and try and clear the mic hole from the outside. If it still doesn't work you might have to disassemble the phone and remove the blockage.
I had the same problem and I use the application soundabout to resolv it

Soo i bought a used G2 for a good price but there seem to be 2 problems..first the speaker on the bottom of the device makes static noises when playing any sound..be it a touch sound or music..and also whil i made a call the other person said he could hear me very very low or not at all but when im using speech in google now or recording its fine..any help?
Hey,
I was swapping out my sim card and not paying attention - I accidentally pressed my sim opener into the other little hole that is near the sim card opening hole.
As it didnt open and I wasnt looking I naturally pressed harder, then i looked and realized I am pressing in the wrong hole!
Bit worried I might have damaged something, I hope this hole is not for mic or anything, I have googled but I cannot find out what this hole is for.
The hole in question is the one to the right of the sim card tray, there is only one other hole on the top of the bezel and this is the one I pushed into
Mic hole

Thanks, is this the mic that is only used when the loudspeaker is, as I presume the mic when using the phone normally is at the bottom of the phone

Yes but when I activate speaker in-call, only top mic reives my voice. That means not for only cancellation. Hope hasnt damaged it..

Skyhigh too, if you have seconday device near you or someone's, call and check if you wonder, never mind..
I tested the top mic.
The scenario is when a call is active:
- when normal speaker is on the top mic does nothing and the bottom mic receives sound.
- when loudspeaker is on the top mic picks up sound and the bottom mic turns off
Try is, make a call to another phone, play some music or something into the the top and bottom mic's, you will notice that the top mic only receives the sound when the galaxy has its loudspeaker on - also, when the loudspeaker is on the bottom mic doesnt receive any sound.
ps, luckily there is no damage to it.
I have 2 edge+ and I tried the one I pressed into by accident, then immediately after I tried the other one.
The sound on the other end of the phone is the same. Means the little mic at the top is pretty strong, must have a mesh gauze or something protecting it?
Anyone have a pic of the internal part>

Yup, thats what I said. Glad to know its not damaged.
I realize this is an old thread. But I just did the same thing with my note 8. OP did you ever run into issues after you did this?
OMG. I just did the same thing. On an old note 5.
I did this on edge plus but thought that was IR sensor, googled but no info to find and finally here...I hope it is not damaged & even if, much relaxed to know it is secondary in a sense, and does not harm the functioning...
