[Q] Micphone problem during call - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am stuck with an annoying problem. The other parties can NOT hear my voice. I have tried recording voice using voice recorder and it works. What it could be a hardware or software issue.
The phone is an official kitkat, not rooted.

I dont know the exact location of the mute/unmute button but there is one in the lg app i believe so its not an hardware issue and probably also not an software one cause you have maybe clicked the button accidently. Can you go through the dialer app to find some settings where that might be located? But i guess you need to call someone first again to enable your mic

No that can't be the cause , the problem goes after rebooting the phone sometimes and sometimes do not even after restart. It is quite random.

Well you can might consider to reflash stock or do factory reset if it just goes like that but i dont think its an hardware issue if you dont have mic during call but recording you have but the g2 has 2 microphones i thought so maybe one of them is failing or what. I could be wrong since i am thinking bout lots of phones atm.

I was thinking same. but factory reset is very bothering, all installed applications and data will be gone. . I am also much confident that it is not an hardware issue

Well the onky thing i can say is to look again in the dialer and incall ui to see the mute button and press unmute, try to logcat, look in the settings app and or google more about the second mic how you can test it cause i dnt know how out of my head.

software problem

[Q] Microphone does not work (in part)

Hello everyone !
I have a really annoying problem since last year, when i root my device for the first time.
The microphone doesn't work in applications who needs it. I can't record my voice, use Google voice Recognition....
If i call someone, the caller can not hear me unless I activate the speaker phone mode.
It's a very strange problem
I have tested every custom and stock roms, no results.
Maybe there are a adjustment to do ( in *#*#197328640#*#* ) ?
Please help me
thanks,
abeilard14
Up.. it's a pretty annoying problem
just say me if it is a hardware or logicial problem if you know, please
If it appears with different ROMs it's probably a hardware-problem.
But I can't see any connection between breaking your mic and rooting your phone.

Yes, but it's strange that the mic works only when i activate the speaker phone mode during call.
It is not completely broken apparently !
may be a setting to change somewhere . . .

[Q] Microphone problem on loudspeaker mode

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

[Q] Having problems on call volume on the other side of the call

Hi, does anyone have same problem as I? Almost everyone I call is telling me they can hear me very low. I can hear them perfectly and all of the rest regarding sound volume is perfect.

Check to see if you have any gunk in the mic hole. I highly doubt that your mic is the issue.

I've got exactly the same problem. The phone is brand new, the mic hole is not blocked at all. I dont want to send it to service beacause it takes like 2 weeks to get it solved. Are there any service codes for sm-g900f to solve such issues? Any suggestions?

it happens to me sometimes. I am not sure if it is a fault in the handset or something else. normally it works fine, but yes I started getting complaints that my voice is far away after buying the S5 (happened to me 3 or 4 times within one month)

Try turning off Noise Reduction in the dialer settings menu. This will cause this type of problem for some people. The other TW builds that have it, also have a touchscreen button so it can be easily disabled while in-call but ours is buried in the menu.

Good deal.
I used to have a lot of problems with that feature on my Galaxy SIII.
But it didn't seem to affect everyone.

It has not solved mine, though. I noticed that if there is an app running in the bacground it worsens the case. Do not know why. Perhaps I will debrand my phone and change it to xeo.

[Q] microphone issue

So I know there are other threads with the same issue but mine is a bit different. I found out that when I'm talking to someone on my lg g2(d802) cellphone they can't hear me so I tried everything and I found out that they can hear me perfectly when I turn on the speaker mode while calling(getting the persons voice played through the phones bottom speaker), so I think thats really weird because my microphone won't work without a speaker mode on while calling. It's not a rom related issue because noone using rom FR 2.0.1 Didn't had this problem and also idk if this is related with this but in the recovery I'm unable to flash any zip and also first time when I installed the recovery i updated it with flashing new recovery 2.8.4.0 and my phone somehow automaticly downgraded it to the one i had before and I'm unable to flash new twrp recovery/viper4andoid/etc... Error message is different every time which is also weird. For example for twrp it is something like asster failed(run_program). Idk if that is related with microphone issue but I wanted to provide all data. Also I have a KK baseband. Thanks for reading.
I have the same problem "reversed" .
On speakerphone my microphone doesn't work. No matter what rom I use.
Would be nice if someone has figured it out.
It's weird. I tried everything and still the same problem. It appeared just after I flashed a new rom and I tried going back to stock and still the same issue
hi, sorry for my little english.
my lg g2 d802 4.4.2 had this problem, they can hear me but like i'm far away. try to stop voice control in all pages in Google search.
when i had this problem vocal and video record don't go, it appears i'm using microphone on another app. i stop vocal control and the phone now i going better!
"ok Google" in all page its very confortable but if the phone still dont call, nothing to do!

Had this issue on an iPhone and a Windows Phone. Microphone is probably shot. Different mic used for when it is on speakerphone compared to calls. Usually cannot record video audio either...sucks.

[x720] Mic works - but doesn't in calls?

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.
