Hi recently i have quite complicated problem with my note 4. Problem started to occur couple weeks ago. I couldn't be heard even if I shouted when making calls. only loudspeaker worked. While recording voice and playedback the sound was very weak. I have performed factory reset and cleared cache partition but it didn't work.
Yesterday when I made a call I suddenly could have been be heard but again loudspeaker didn't work. Very frequently during the call my voice dissappeared so the other person couldn't hear me but when I have turned the loudspeaker on and off immediately I could have been heard for a while. I had to do this few times during the call but my microphone somehow worked for short periods. So to me it seems like it's more like a software issue rather than hardware. Hopefully. Altough it's weird the factory reset didn't help.
Appreciate any advice altough it is dodgy one I guess.
If a full reset didn't work it sounds like you have some kind of short or other hardware issue. Just what I'd assume from what you've said.

I have read that somevery of the software issues can be fixed by flashing the phone and even factory reset won't help I hope there may be other solution than hardware issue

Wonder anyone got this problem, make outgoing call or incoming call, no voice from internal speaker. But if I press "Speaker On" during call I can hear the voice of the other party.
Playing music song playback sound ok, only during call conversations , both outgoing & incoming, I can't hear any sound unless I turn the speaker-phone on.
seems there is a problem in the phone speaker, though the main speaker is working properly.
Tried hard reset and also changed the SIM, but to no avail.
Any advice? Thanks.

My problem has been solved. I had created a backup of my system with SPB backup and it restored my phone back.
I think the problem arose after installing oldSAP speaker phone, which routed the incoming and outgoing call audio via speakerphone.
However, I cant understand that if it was a software problem, why could'nt it be solved by Hard reset.
Any suggestions ?
Same Problem

My problem with the phone speakers resurfaced, sometimes they behaved and sometimes did'nt, thereby forcing me to turn the speakerphone on for listening to calls.
I finally took my phone to a nearby Mobile Repair Shop. The mechanic told me that it was a common problem in most phones and the only way out was to change the phone speakers. The speakers available were Chinese ones for Rs 150 and what he called original ones for Rs 300. I opted for the latter and he replaced the speakers within 5 minutes, whether he changed the speakers or just refittted the Originals after cleaning? I do'nt know. However, problem solved since then.
I have same problem for about 5months which was described in the first post, and can't solve this problem...any help?
I am also facing the exact problem!!! It was working fine until I accidently did the factory reset... now I have installlllled OS many times with diff vrs. & from stock to diff customized roms but the problem still persists!!!! wondering wat happened!!
Searched through most everywhere and found very few references to mic problems, but no solutions. My mic keeps dropping out during calls (not always, but often). If I switch to speakerphone the other end can hear me fine. It didn't do this for the first couple of weeks (month?), but then it happened 2-3 times in a row so I don't think it's a Sprint or tower issue. Now it's fairly regular.
I'm still stock, not rooted, so I may try doing a factory reset first, but this sure sounds like a hardware problem. But what confuses me is the speakerphone mic working. I thought the S4 only had one mic. If so, then it could be a software issue. Can anyone confirm it uses only one mic?
Thanks,
Greg
I have a NOTE 4 LTE Edition.. Everything was fine until lollipop update
I found after the update that if someone called me. He can't hear me but i can hear him
But if i called everything is good
I tried to wipe cache partition and it worked for one call
I need a solution.. a VERY FAST SOLUTION
P. S sorry for my bad english
I had somewhat same problem. When I place a call, the receiver is not able to hear me but receiving calls the problem is not there. That happened after I updated to lollipop. My device is note 4 SM-N910U.
The problem was solved by doing the hard reset. Hope it works for your device too. Regarding the proper hard reset procedures, please google it for your device. It's very easy.
REMEMBER Before performing hard reset - Back up all the important files, documents , contacts, music and videos etc.
Things to REMEMBER after hard reset
1. Don't use headphone.
2. Don't use Svoice
3. Don't use speaker mode
Activating or using all of the above mutes the mic and same problem is back. I learned the hard way. I did those and carried out hard reset for three times.
I didn't use Google now, so I don't know if it mutes the mic. Perhaps, yes.
All the best. Hope it helps solve your problem.
Hello All
I bought myself an Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Ze550KL a couple of weeks back.
An overall good phone. But I am facing an irritating issue.
The phone's microphone does not work from some point onwards. Once this happens, when attending(or making) a call, the other person wont be able to hear me.
I am not sure whether its a hardware issue or a software issue. Because once I restart the phone everything is perfect once again. After maybe a couple of calls, the problem resurfaces.
I read in multiple forums of this issue (even in Zentalk) , but nobody has a clean solution. Some of the solutions were -to disable Ok Google Detection, to enable call recording, to switch to loudspeaker, to reboot the phone and so on.
Enabling loud speaker works for me. When I realize the other person cannot hear me, I switch to loud speaker and then he is able to hear me.
Did anybody come across this issue? Is it a software issue? Any help/ideas/suggestions would be nice.
I am hoping its a software bug which will be hopefully fixed in the next system update or so.
Thanks
Hmm that's an odd one I can tell you that I have call recording enabled on a ze551kl and haven't had this issue, but I'm not sure if its specific to the 550 or not. I haven't actually recorded any of my calls, it just pops up and asks me if I want to every time and I tap cancel.

Its not about recording calls.. Its about the recipient not hearing me. The microphone is what is bothering me. I doubt the issue is with the noise cancellation of microphones. Perhaps cancelling more than noise.
When I reboot the phone, everything starts working normally. After a few calls the problem returns, the recipient not hearing me!.
The temporary fix for me is switching to loud speaker. I dont know why, but the mic starts working when in loud speaker. The moment i switch it back to handson, the recipient is again not able to hear me.
Read a few forums in zentalk reporting the same issue
www(dot)asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14486
I am seriously hoping it is a software bug which would be fixed in the next update or so.
I tried the hardware test which behaves differently when the problem occurs and when it is problem free.
The hardware test is perfect if i test the mic just after reboot and when everything is normal.
But once i find out that the recipient is unable to hear me (after maybe a couple of calls/days after the reboot) , i did the hardware test again and certainly was different. A buzz at all times with my voice being completely muffled. Something to do with the noise cancellation mic i believe.
I have tried disabling OK Google Detection.
I have tried enabling call recording.
I have tried reseting factory settings , clear wipe partitions etc.
I have tried enabling dialer pad tones (Dont know why this was marked as a solution in some forums)
But all of the above was not a solution for me. Switching to loudspeaker works. And rebooting the phone (which is irritating during important calls) also works.
Any help would be nice.

To OP,
This is for most of the guys. It's a software issue, dont worry, Just update to latest update. Which happened to me the same, and solved when i updated some random OTA update fix by asus. So the current version on my phone now is LRX22G.WW_user_1.15.40.639_20151029044030520_201505210103

Hi I too have this same issue. I believe it is a faulty model from Asus! I had serviced my mobile last month and the Subboard assembly has been completely changed by those people but still I face the same issue. . Hope I will throw away this bulsh**t soon. Asus not willing for replacement too I argued so many times which is just waste of time. Totally a waste of money and time.
Microphone issue
I am also having same problem once restarted phone is all fine...should i replace phone ??
Bought just 2 days back
Solution
Since you apply this solution the error has not returned to flicks: I cannot post the youtube link, but search the title: Solved: Asus Zenphone 2e mic problem by Jack Scorpion.
I have the same device with the same problem! It was neglible before, and it happened very rarely. But recently it had become worse and that thing happened to all the calls. Switching to loudspeaker works (loudspeaker mode disables the bottom mic and switches to top mic). I reset the device to factory settings (that thing wiped the internal memory too!) and since then, i haven't updated the 'ASUS Calling Screen' from the play store and everything works fine atleast till now.
hai friend try (ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser=ZE550KL (Z00L) software Image: 1.17.40.1234 for WW SKU only) this firmware from asus site or try system update form your mobile. thats old version runing firmware running on your mobile so thats a software problem. this a network issue in that old version asus team doing always best i am also have same problem in past month but my current update installed after working fine. so don worry friends

Try disabling Audio Wizard app
I am also facing same problem. Suddenly the mic of my asus fails to work.
Solution
There is solution. Please post it on another forums after you will check it.
Just hold your phone in your hand in position, which will make sound to reflect directly into your voice microphone. This way you will make a difference in signal between voice and noise cancellation microphone. That's how voice cancellation technology works. I have got this result after one week of search for any effective solution. And did not find any useful info. So I have find a solution after some experiments.
Please post it to another forums if it will solve your problem.
Ever since I got my phone wet from the water hose splattering on it like rain the phone has been acting up every now and then. I don't know if it's related. but about 4 out of 10 phone calls people say I"m broke up and they can't hear me or they hear every other word. I can hear them fine. I have to reboot the phone to fix it. I also notice when using the HD recorder that the right channel doesn't have much audio to it when recording in stereo sound. the right microphone is the same one for phone calls. Does anyone else have any of these problems? Is there a solution? I haven't had the chance to call verizon about it yet. They'll just want me to reset my phone before sending a replacement and all that marigamaroo.
update: Since i rebooted the phone last time it's been good so far ad i noticed today when using the sound recorder on stereo sound, it records in both channels now. so whatever goes wrong with my phone it causes the bottom mic to crap out. Affecting phone calls and stereo recording with the bottom mic as as the "right channel" for the recording. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue. I don't know if resetting the phone would help or what. anyone have this issue or insight about it?
Yes, same issue on AT&T version. Haven't gotten the phone wet though. I have tried a hard reset and it didn't work.
I had that same problem till I turned of VoLTE (voice over LTE) Once that happened every call is crystal clear. Try it.

I figured it wouldn't work. i just reset my phone and reinstalling everything. have to see how it works now. and the bad connection with the headphone jack that the Verizon rep says should be fixed after a factory reset. they won't send a replacement till i reset the phone and try it again. he tried to get me to take it to the corporate store to verify the bad headphone jack and check the phone for damages, but the nearest corporate store is 50miles away. I'm not having that.
I have had headphone jack problems with the G3 and G4 - that all developed the more I used the jack. I haven't really used the jack much on G6, but its frustrating to hear that it may develop issues as well.
I called AT&T about the issue. They did some network reset on their end. If that doesn't work, they said to turn off "Enhanced LTE Services". I'm guessing that's the same setting as the VoLTE that Metalshadow mentioned above.
