[Q] speakerphone problem - people cannot hear me - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using Rooted stock rom. My phone is working well when I talk as normal mode, ie. keep the ear next to the phone. But it has problem when I use it as 'speaker phone'. It seems like the microphone is having problem that people on the other side cannot hear me.
I tried to install CM, but the problem is still the same. Is there any fix for that?

Try flashing the factory images, and without restoring any data, try making a call attempt. If the microphone is still not working in speaker mode... then I have no idea what may be causing it, but it's hardware.

Can't hear others during a call - earpiece is down

I tried using a handfree and the phone works completely fine, just when on its own I cannot hear from the other side. The other side can hear me though.
I used the phone on its own one night, then without dropping it or whatever that earpiece just failed to work in the morning the other day. I tried hard reset and even ROM flash. How likely this issue to be a software crash?
Thanks!

I had exactly the same issue, had to send it to repair. Still waiting for it to come back.

PolishVodka's CyanogenMod 10 RC2 - phone calls bug?

Hello everyone,
I've just installed JB CM10 RC2 by PolishVodka, ROM works fine, but i can't hear the voice of person I call. I have also flashed all fixes included in main thread, but it does not solve my problem. Of course before installation I have fully wiped my phone via Recovery (latest verion), resized partitions etc. On GB/ICS roms I haven't noticed this problem. I would like to use this JB rom as my daily, so please help me!

Would you mind if I post about PolishVodkas rom here? My problem may be somewhat related to yours: the sounds (except music) are always on the speaker, even if headphones are plugged in. ANd when there is a call incoming the phone behaves like headphones are unplugged and plays all sound through speaker, thats mean music AND the ringtone of icoming call.
If this rom werent so fast and stable I would just forget about it and flashed something else, but I really would love to stay with it. PolishVodka - hope you read it.

You're welcome, P.G.R I have reported my problem directly to PolishVodka . He told me, that some users have encountered described problem with phone calls, but on his phone everything works fine, so it's pretty hard for him to find the source of this bug. Anyway I have good news - during the call let's try to set the volume higher or lower by +/- buttons. I've done it once and problem disappeared permamently I haven't tested headphones, but maybe this little PolishVodka's trick solves all sound problems

Good, but, meanwhile, Ive returned to AOSP2 and it is super fast, its weird that no one uses it as a base for their 2.3.7 roms (most seems to base their work on SDSL, which was always too "jerky" for me...)
That explains why I got no sound while I was getting called.

[Q] Earpiece and microphone dead

I have a serious problem with my nexus. The earpiece and microphone are both muted. I can listen to music, camera records audio, the dialer has just basically ignored the speaker and microphone. This is a brand new phone, stock rom 4.2.2 Jellybean. I know it's not a problem with the hardware, because Skype works without any problems.
I have tried booting the phone in safe mode, doing a factory reset and trying to use an app called soundabout from the store. Is my only option returning the phone? At this point you have probably figured out that I can't make any phone calls or receive them, making my phone a nice paper weight. I already posted this in the help thread, so sorry for being a douche, but I'm desperate.

Are you rooted? Have a custom recovery installed? I can help, but need more info
I have not rooted, the device is fully stock.

It sound like a software problem. You can either use root and install a stock or custom rom and recovery, or send it back. What i would do is unlock the bootloader and root

[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.
