[Q] i9500 Low Mic Issue

Hello everybody,
I'm sorry for opening that topic but i'm desperate now. I saw similar topics for that but i tried every written solution on that topics not working.
Last month i've rooted my i9500 first time and flashed CyanogenMod (4.4.2 Kitkat). There were few bugs on this ROM. For example Camera Problem, Low Mic issue etc.. After i used that ROM 2 days, i decided to change my ROM because of bugs. I changed 4-5 ROMs for i9500. ( Phoenix, CyanogenMod(New Version), MIUI etc... But the low mic issue was still there.
I tried flashing Stock Rom 4.3
Flashing Stock New Rom 4.4
Flashing stock Kernel and stock Radio
Flashing other ROMs...
I tried all of them. All problems gone except low mic issue. First I thought something wrong with my hardware but after that i noticed that the low mic issue is just running on Phone Calls. If i open speaker my voice is perfect but in normal call people barely hear me or don't hear me.
Voice recorder and Video Recording is perfectly record sound. The problem is occur only Phone Call without speaker.
So i need your help, how i can solve this low mic issue ?
Thanks for all.

try downloading AudioManager on play store and see if it helps. It could be a hardware problem you know.
cheers ~

I downloaded AudioManager but nothing changed. I guess the problem is not hardware because if i use speaker on phone calls my voice is perfect. Audio recording and video recording are also perfect.

No solutions ?

please help me about this. i tried everything i've read nothing changed.

You've probably got dirt in your microphone hole, locate it on the bottom of the device and use a dental pick or something to clear the blockage.

Perhaps you're covering the microphone hole when you hold up the phone to your ear?

I tried to clean it nothing changed. I'm holding same as i always do . I tried directly speak to mic hole. Nothing changed

Same Issue please help us
I Have same issues, im sure Hardware is working Fine, mic in low volume if using at phone call and record voice note. but in other apps like Audio Record, and Activate Speaker Phone mic is Working properly, S Voice, etc

I also upgrade my device GT-I9500 JB 4.3 with firmware for Russia I9500XXUFNB3_I9500SERFNB3_I9500XXUFNA6_HOME
After that , start my problem with S4 device and microphone NOT working level is so bad and low .... sound is very poor
If I use speaker option mic working good , also if I use bluetooth headset for communication sound work good , normal .
But have problem if I answering and try talk "normally " by microphone .
Today try with other 4.4.2 firmware like I9500XXUFNB7_I9500OLBFNB4

S7 Edge - Microphone not working in calls

Please help,
Samsung have returned my phone twice saying no fault found, but every time I make or receive a call there is no sound on the other end. The mic works for google search, video recording, voice recorder app etc, but as soon as I make a call no one can hear me at all. Any ideas welcome please before I end up selling it as faulty. Gutted and tearing my hair out!

Hey!
I have a similar issue with my S7. Microphone does not work only during the calls. Turning on speakerphone does not help (as it should when you have a broken bottom microphone) and also if I connect headset then the microphone from the headset works. In all other aps both (botom, top) microphones work (I do have stereo in video recording etc.). Did it happen to you after system update or when?
Cheers

A small update:
I have found that the issue is even more silly for me.
So I make a call and the person to whom I am calling cannot hear me. Then I connect a headphones, but ones without a microphone. And suddenly the microphone in the phone starts working. But the moment I disconnect them it stops.
Can you confirm this happening for you?

its old, but i have same problem. Now, I am trying to flash stock rom and see if it will work. After restart, I microphone works only once in call app, that it dont work. But i can record audio with it and in any other app it works. Idk what is the problem, but i want to find out

Note 3 top microphone issue (mixer_paths.xml)

Hello all.
I've searched the forums far and wide and have not been able to find an answer to my burning question:
How can I identify and disable the top microphone (the one next to the handset's ear speaker)?
I've been using the Resurrection Remix custom ROM and so far, everyone I talk with hears themselves echoing, while I hear everything crystal clear - this has led me to believe that the secondary microphone located next to the ear speaker remains active during calls.
Can anyone help me identify and disable it please?
Thanks in advance.

Auto switching from earpiece to loud speaker during calls

Hello
I'm having an issue, well... not really an issue but an inconvenience.
I have a J5 2015 with LineageOS 16 installed. Everything has been working great until now. However, when I'm answering calls and want it to switch to the loud speaker, I have to manually do so every single time.
Is there any way I could let the phone automatically switch from ear piece to loud speaker when I leave the phone further away from my ear? I looked through all settings but didn't find anything relevant.
Thank you

That's not a feature of any ROM really. You use a tasker script to set it switch to loudspeaker with proximity sensor but if you don't know how to use tasker and scripts then you will definitely not be able to do it.
Very strange feature request. pixel, OnePlus, xiaomi, Samsung etc, none of these phones have a feature like this so I don't know why you are expecting it to be in the settings

Hello
Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how often do you use it but I use it a lot. I normally have to do something else while the other person talk on the phone. That's why I want the phone to switch to loud speaker immediately when I put it down.
I previously used an IPhone 5s as my first smart phone and this feature was included. Guess I got used to having that around.
Could you share me the link how to set it up manually using tasker script?
Thank you

Microphone doesn't work during calls on MIUI EU ROM

Hi all, I was testing some custom ROMs on RN7 but eventually came back to MIUI EU as it's the best, however during calls, other side is unable to hear me, microphone does not work, it's not a hardware issue, as recorder is working, so I guess something SW related...Possibly a wrong modem.img or something that is related to calls? Does anyone know where could I get the correct image for HMNote7/lavender for Android 10?
Thanks a lot.

Disable "ok google"

Is there any specific place?
I went to Google/More/Settings/Google Assistant/Assistant and removed it from Assistant's devices, but did not work, maybe there's a different place.

Google/More/Settings/Voice/voice match

Many thanks!!! Worked well.

Any other option? I couldn't get the mic works fine. Just a low level audio if I hear an WA audio in a quiet room. But no sound in a call
