When I make a call with speaker (vivavoce), I hear but they don't hear me on the other side, if I switch to normal mode (with the phone near my ear and therefore not on the speaker, everything works), I noticed that even the google speech synthesizer it doesn't work for writing messages, neither does google assistant because I can't give voice commands with my smartphone, I would like to understand what the problem is given what kind of voice messages on whatsapp I can send them ... Thanks a lot

I find it quite strange that the phone does not allow to make outgoing calls when the keyboard is closed.
Because when you have an outgoing call you can still close the phone and the call will continue. That profs that it's possible. But with to much emission? If not...
Could there be some way overcome that that limitation?
The issue is that if you close the screen, the microphone is hidden.
Yep. The MIC is on the keyboard, which gets covered when you don't have the keyboard flipped out.
The issue is that it's even impossible to answer a call when the headset is connected.
Yesterday I was outside, it was windy and friend called. The headset was connected. I had the phone in my pocket and closed the phone while I was asking my friend if he might hear any differences in the quality of my voice.
He recognized no change in quality and we were able to talk just normally without problems. Does the headset has a microphone or is always the microphone of the phone used?
In any case, not being able to answer a call with headset connected without opening the phone is quite poor.
I would like to have an app to fix this behaviour. I don't like being patronized by Motorola.
PS: I just recognized that the headset has a single button for answer/hang up. Just the application for incoming calls does not have this feature which is still quite poor. Is the standard android (without motoblur) better?
Behind that 'single button' on the headset, there is a microphone. That's why if you have a headset(not to be confused with headphone), you can make a call w/o opening the phone.
However, as I've tested, even when the phone is closed, the MIC near the keyboard blocked by the phone's screen can still function normally(via Voice Search).
Hi, All.
I have a Samsung S4 and from day 1 I have had this call problem.
When I make or receive calls, the person on the other end cannot hear my voice at all. I have disabled noise reduction both in the settings menu and have toggled it on/off during the call.
Now, I've done a few tests.
1) During calls the other person can hear noises that I simulate such as tapping on the table or tapping on the phone. I tested both the top (for noise cancellation?) microphone and lower microphone and the tapping noise is definitely louder on the lower microphone.
2) Voice works perfectly when using my headset. (Not a network issue)
3) Tested voice recording and it works fine. I spoke on the top of the phone and bottom of the phone (to see if it receives noise on the top microphone) and the voice is definitely louder when voice is coming from the bottom of the phone.
4) Voice command works fine.
5) Calls work find during speaker mode.
Now all I can think of is that this is a problem with my setting or this is a software issue.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,

So I've factory reset my phone.
Results are I can now BARELY hear my voice SOMETIMES.
Like for example I try speaking in a completely silent environment, they only way the caller hears my garbled up voice is when I cup to phone my mouth.
This even won't work if I turn on the noise reduction feature.
So I'm guessing there is still some noise reduction feature on apart from what we can activate/deactivate during the call and in the settings menu.
Is my voice that ugly that it's now considered to be noise!? I've been told that I have a radio voice :laugh:

Well cant say whats the main cause of the issue may be the mic has some issue
If possible b4 showing it to service centre flash a firmware using Odin and reset the device and then see if the problem is gone check the voice b4 installing any apps etc
From couple of days friends told me they can't hear what I speak. To check it I tested with my mom phone I also didn't hear voice what I speak on it. Tell em what's the problem
Note: Voice commands works means not the mic damage.
My sm-s727vl suddenly lost the Mic (as in the other person cannot hear me) during calls, but as long as I hold it really close to my mouth I can use it for voice typing

Please someone give any type of solution in details. The on call mic volume killing me. I have to put the earphone mic fully on my lip for the other person to hear me!
I used app from play store to check and I guessed it right, while mic mode was on 'Direct' and I recorded from usual earohone mic distance, then the sound was, loud and clear. But when I recorded in the same condition in the mode 'Communication', then I barely can hear me. Now after this test, I am sure the problem is in the feature 'microphone noice cancellation' for calls only. So as I identified the issue, is it impossible to fix? Can I totally disable the function 'noice cancellation' on my device? Please help. I am in desperate need of a fix during this covid pandemic as many many important meetings are happening online.
Mic is loud enough on the general phone call app though!!!
But very low on any online call like messenger call / whatsapp call / discord call / google meet call / zoom call. But if I record on messenger or whatsapp, it sounds alright. I repeat, recorded general sound is OKAY but not when on call on any app other than general phone call app. Tested same earphone on same apps from an old samsung phone too. No problem found there at all! Sounded clear while using samsung during messenger call / whatsapp call / discord call / google meet call / zoom call. So don’t say it's mic's fault. It isn’t. It is software handling problem as far as I can understand. Please show me a way fast.
exactly the same problem i have been facing since long , but discovered just a week ago

mine is completely opposite. I have to put on headphones to hear anything. One day I handed to my phone to someone, and he said there is no sound. When I put on my ear, I understood what the problem was. It is actually inaudible to any normal person. it is on stock rom, unrooted. Also the problem peaks if someone call from to my jio sim, using a MI phone. There is no problem in sim, cause I switched mine to another phone and it was fine, sound was cristal clear.
