I just bought s3 recently and have faced mic issues, its not able to pick up voice easily, have to use the other hand to cover my mouth and phone for it to be able to catch my voice!!
I am going through mic issues.
I had a mic problem with my first S3 during phone calls. I couldn't do anything about it everyone was saying they couldn't hear me.
(The sim I am using is an British UK O2 micro simcard that I used in a iphone 4, cheap samsung, and samsung S2 previously with no problems at all.)
I then returned the phone to the T-mobile shop retailers, they said it was rare and not a common fault.
My new one is doing the exact same thing, I didn't update it nor is there a new update.
Can someone please help as I am lost. Thank you.

s3 mic problem
im having same problems n im on my third 1, all with the same problems. just been through all setting n nothing, waiting to hear back from my network provider (3). good phone but really annoyed with this problem now, everything is ok i put on loud speaker but this is no use when im tryin to run a business.......
I thought I was the only one facing the issue . The handsfree using the wired headset is completely faulty and the other party can hardly hear you . However sometime it works.
I tried some options ..
1. Dont insert the wired headset in the middle of the call it wont work.
2. Insert the wired headset and then dial the number - this seems to work most of the times
3. Accepting the call while the wired headset is inserted - this seems to work.
Not sure what the solution is - anyone able to resolve it ?
not the best voice receptions by the mic....but i havent got any complaints from the receiving end...and audio recording not great but better than the s2..used both the phones for quiet long
I have same issue. Other party doesn't hear me most of the times clearly. They say that I sound like i'm using speaker mode and I'm walking in the room with bucket in my head.
I used some kind of phonecall recording app and from there I can hear myself quite clearly. Maybe it is related to service provider?
Now switched to gsm mode only to see does it make difference.

Seems like noice cancellation needs to be disabled. Worked for me :good:
Try turning noise reduction off , in the call settings section

mic problem in S3
M also having t same problem...hav done all the ways explained above...but still in trouble....sometimes mic works great but sometimes it dont...
microphooooone hole
I have a solution guys. Use left hand when phone call or grab it just for upper part. You are covering small hole for microphone.
I have like 1phone/year and never happened to me that i cover microphone hole when calling. With this one I have to stay focused to dont cover.... Its getting better but samsung engineers terribly overlooked this.
I phone like 4-5 hours per day, so i have habit to let phone just touch my hand and pretty much dont hold it at all. But when you hold it right hand your below thumb area of hand get to cover microphone hole....
and this is when someone else looses my voice over phone....
There is a microphone at the bottom and one at the top. How are you holding your phone? No matter what I do, I can't cover them up during a call.

Same here, cannot uncheck 'noise cancellation'
Wired headset only works when call made first, then audio plug inserted, even with BT disabled.
Multiple headsets mics not working that are known good headsets tested on other phones.

I have played with recording a bit lately (due to another issue of noise in audio recording) and I found that the upper microphone is disabled during a call from some reason. It is used in other video/audio recording though.

if I'm not mistaken the upper mic is working solo when ur on speaker during a call.
when u use the ear peace the buttom one is the main one and the upper one is for noise cancelation.

I only tried on speaker and the upper mic was definitely not catching anything - if I placed my hand over the bottom one, there was no sound from my side, even when I was talking directly to the upper mic.
Not sure whether it is a feature or a bug (there were some reports that the mics are switched by mistake on the software level) but if it is a feature then it is rather unfortunate one as it is quite common to hold the phone at its bottom.

You right, thats the reason for upper microphone - do compare signals from lower ant top, and eliminates noise (that coming more from top) from voice (that coming much more from low)
Other reason probably is stereo sound when making video...
PS
Comon guys, it is almost impossible to hide microphone with hand, left or right - does not matter. You should have palm from soft material as balloon to hide it Otherwise it is hardly possible by mistake, even if you try it is hard to do it

Hi all, I have a question about my GS2 that I bought recently.
I recently upgraded from a Nokia e71x. I'm a college student with a roommate, so I used a wired headset to talk to my gf quietly at night on the phone (mostly talking low voice or whispering). I bought the samsung earbud+mic that comes with other samsung phones and she couldn't hear me at all or my voice was breaking up. I also tried using a little adapter to use my old ear piece but still, same problem. So I tried to use the earpieces in the voice recorder app to see if it was the calling or the mics and it was picking up my voice with perfect quality!
is there any way to fix my phone so that it sends better voice quality or something? I tried using the mics on my brother's iPhone and they work perfectly fine on it :/
Does it break up when talking at normal volumes? It could be that low volume doesn't work well with that microphone.

Not at normal voices, just at much lower/quieter voices. I know the mic works because using it on voice recorder I can hear my voice perfectly. Also, I used the mics on my old Nokia and my brother's iPhone and it works great
Keep in mind during a phone call noise reduction will be active. Not active during voice recorder. The phone may be half trying to cancel out your voice because it thinks it's background noise.
If you can get noise reduction shut off, that particular microphone may work better. The apple headset shouldn't work as well with noise reduction as it's a different brand, enabling better low volume conversations.
To test it out, use the Samsung headset to call someone and hold the microphone next to the microphone on top of the phone and whisper, see how well it sounds.
Then move the phone a normal distance away from you and see how whispering sounds when the microphones on the phone are and aren't covered.
If it is noise reduction causing you trouble, holding it next to the top of the phone should make whispering pickup better. And covering up the phone mics at normal distance should also improve how whispering sounds.

I tried what you suggested with no difference between any of the mics. Also, I tried to turn off noise suppression, but apparently noise suppression is already off when you use a headset. Thanks, do you have any other advice?
Lol, I guess get an apple headset. I'm sure there might be other things you could do, but I can't think of any. Could just be the Samsung one is not as good as the apple one.

Hi guys,
I have had various handsets in the past two years (HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus) and I have used all those in my car hands free via the AUX socket, i.e. successfully making phone calls and playing music whilst driving
I recently got the S2 and when I connect it to the AUX in the car, music is loud and clear but when I when in a phone call the other person is struggling to hear me even with all volume levels set at max. I can hear them clearly though.
I know when the S2 was first released there was a hoohaa about poor call quality especially the microphone volume being set too low by default etc.Could this be what I am experiencing? I am in doubt because on normal calls (no AUX) the other person can hear me clearly and I can hear them.
Is there a fix for this issue? It is important for me to be able to have calls in the car.
I am completely stock I9100 ICS 4.0.3.
I have tried with and without cases without success, currently have a barely there case on.
WIll greatly appreciate any feedback

First off, you said you have an i9000, which is the Galaxy S1. Did you actually mean an i9100?
Second, it could be a hardware issue. There is rubber housing on each mic; the lower mic is used during regular voice calls. The upper is used for noise cancellation, but also it is used for the primary microphone for speaker phone mode and car mode. I had an issue with speaker phone mode where the rubber housing on the upper mic was not seated properly, so on speaker phone, my voice was muffled. I had to open the phone up and re-seat the housing on the upper mic to get it to work properly.

Sorry it was a typo, I do indeed have an I9100 aka S2 (corrected it on OP).
So the NC mic is used for car mode? The thing about the S2 is it doesnt visually show on screen when a headset/mic is connected hence I didnt think there was a car mode as such.
I may have the same issue as you, was it relatively simple to disassemble the back and relign the rubber?
Thanks

Yes, the NC mic is what picks up sound for speakerphone/car mode.
Overall, I personally found that breakdown is pretty simple. Check out this post. It details a fix for echo due to issues with the rubber housing, but it gives you an idea of what to do. Focus on the top mic; if you're not having issues with regular voice calls, don't mess with the bottom mic.
You'll need a phillips screwdriver from an eye-glasses kit, and something to pop the case apart. I used an old credit card. Be careful when popping the case apart, the power button and volume rocker can be easy to lose.
If this seems daunting to you, and you are still under warranty, just take it to an authorized Samsung repair center.
I noticed when pressing a button on this phone and put the speaker to your ear you can hear some noise through the speaker. Like a low hissing sound. Then after a second it stops until you press another button.
Also when playing a YouTube video or game and turn the volume all the way down you hear the same noise. Infact if you run a game and go back to your home screen the noise is there until you quit the app.
The noise can only be heard if you put your ear to the speaker so it's not a major issue I just found it strange and wondered if everyone's is the same?
I just checked and the noise does stop when going back to the home screen from a game. Yesterday when I tested it the noise was still going. Must have been a particular app.
Can somebody check this on the z2 to see if this is normal? Thanks
You have to put your ear to the speaker to hear it, its just a slight hissing sound.
It happens when pressing the home/back/multi tasking buttons or when typing on the keyboard. Basically whenever the phone makes a button press sound and the speakers become active to play the sound
its totaly normal for the hissing sound to exist however some speakers can output the sound alot more easier than others and some you cant hear it at all
its normal for it to be heard from Z2 Unless its very louder than it should be, it should be only noticed using headphone or putting your ear very close to the speaker

Thanks for verifying that Envious, i can only hear it when putting my ear to the speaker. While i am here i might as well get your thoughts on another issue lol There is a thread that's just been posted on here about the bottom speaker being louder then the top speaker. Is this a hardware issue or just the way the phone is designed. Its something i noticed the first day i got the phone.

i actualy dont know
its definatly hardware, i did ask sony Service centre about the issue and since my Z2 is going to be sent for repair ill see if they actualy fix the Bottom speaking being louder than the top one which i did say was a problem and that they will test
it doesnt seem to be an intentional feature since the phone has dual stereo speakers, its anoying listening to music when mostly the audio is one side
Yeah its something i notice when playing games or watching videos. I will try to get a replacement from the retailer and if that fails then i will send it into sony. The vibration sound is definitely too loud on my z2 and i'll get them to check the speaker. :good:
this got posted in a different forum. not sure if a moderator can move the thread?

How did you solve the issue with the missing private speaker? Do you carry a Bluetooth headset with you wherever you go, or do you simply let everybody else listen to your conversation?
I try to use mine as a phone too, but the lacking speaker is making me go nuts. Carrying a separate headset with you wherever you go is kinda annoying... Which is why I'm considering the galaxy tab s instead, even though it's a bit older than the Z3TC.
well if you have a Bluetooth use Bluetooth otherwise lower the volume all the way down. I can still hear the volume way down so. I use the SBH52 when I can but when I don't I use it as is. just lower it way down

So this does it for me..no flash and far far more importantly no private speaker i.e. microphone...no wonder Sony is losing (of course other reasons, but they lost me here)
It does have a microphone right underneath the headphone jack. The only thing is that sound comes out of both top and bottom speakers when in a call. You can lower the volume as mentioned above and place calls without people overhearing your conversation. Using a bluetooth headset would be better though. And I haven't had any complaints about people not being able to hear me on the other end.

ok...so let me confirm (sorry about asking this again)...so you can turn down the volume all the way (that way it does not sound like a speakerphone) but yet it works like a regular phone? (not talking bluetooth etc...just regular usage) and there is no issue at other end like folks think you are talking on speakerphone? Please confirm as my purchase hinges on this (though having a hard time coping with no flash...seriously how could they justify this-no matter what blah blah camera they have..an led light has other uses too (Sure one can light up the screen but what if you are using the screen too and just using the light to look at something more clearly in dim light not necessarily to take a picture!..and in much darker environments..you might just need the flash...c'mon SONY bozos)
anyway....right from one of their first Xperia models in 2010 where you had to swipe in an arc to unlock and they had no pinch to zoom...the disconnect lives on!
I'm looking to replace my Samsung Note 8 (N5100) which is my primary phone. The Z3TC is the main contender, but it I need confirmation.
Please correct me if I'm wrong: there are two LTE variants, the SGP 621 and SGP 641, both have telephony capability, but neither the US nor the international variants of have an earpiece speaker for listening to calls?
Any issues using the sbh52 with the z3 tablet?
after getting the Moto E 2015 i was searching for the mic because my friend said she couldn't hear me properly during calls. I found there is a mic near camera and the mic for call is located in the back bottom of the device.
The problem is that by mistake i have kept my hand blocking the mic If you face similar problem try to hold the phone on top and give some grip during calls. Was little weird for me at first now it is normal for me.
Having call volume {75%} during calls is good than having full volume.
[Q] Anybody facing similar problem with mic? Let us know if this helped you.
{ the mic must be kept behind due to water proof splash perfection i guess }
Another Solution Found
Put a insulation tape ( cut it very small ) to cover the mic near the rear camera. :good: This improves the call quality and also the noise cancellation feature is disabled ( many users don't like this feature ).
Hope this solution helps many who own a MOTO E 2015 :angel:
I found the normal way I hold the phone with the phone cupped in the palm of my hand makes the sound for the other person low and a bit distant/garbled, but if I hold the phone with my hand at the bottom with my palm cupping the bottom to make a sort of funnel, it really improves the quality. Strange to me that Moto put the main mic on the back instead of the front. I tend to hold the phone angled away from my mouth with only the earpiece against my face/ear which makes the mic even that much more away from my mouth.
lol.. yeah i tried it

I'm pretty sure it's because the mic is on the back. Mine sounds the same if I don't cup the bottom with my hand. Now if know I'm going to be on a call I use a headset. But for those unexpected calls I just cup the bottom, and it sounds good.
Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE)
Yes, this phone has faulty mic design
I also have the same problem. 5 out of 10 people who receive my call complain that they can't hear my voice. Mic is placed on the back side and that is the reason why all these voice clarity problems. If you sit directly under a ceiling fan or if there is wind blowing across, the air that enters the wedge near the mic makes your voice not audible. You need to cup the phone if you want to make your voice audible.
external speakers doesnt working.....no sound....
If i play a song or play a video there are no sound output by speakers....same problem during call...wipe cache partition....tried in safe mode......reboot.....remove sd card...but problem persists....no sound in speakers....pls help

Hello, I want to purchase a Moto E 2015 but I also heard about the microphone problem that the phone comes with.
I wanted to make sure that if I cover the back mic with a piece of tape, it would fix this issue? Please let me know and confirm.
If you found another fix for this issue, please let me know thank you very much
I had the exact same issues with my Moto E 2nd Gen (Sprint Prepaid). Putting tape over the hole next to the camera definitely fixed the issue for me. People I call tell me they can now hear me just fine and my voice isn't garbled, breaking up, etc.
Just a side note: before I found this thread I called Sprint support about this issue on three different occasions with no satisfaction. About a week after applying the tape I called Sprint again and was told this was now a "known manufacturer defect" and needed to be addressed by Motorola.

We can not say correction, but if you want to buy one, go ahead, it's a great input device, I'm sure you will not regret it!
By placing the tape on your microphone near the camera, but will leave you satisfied with the result, but that's not a problem to fix, but a workaround!
For problem solution, only those who know the Moto E3 (hahahaha), there at least they can change microphone position.

I tried this and there was possibly a very small improvement however the sound quality during voice calls is still way poorer than on any previous phone I have owned.
Initially I thought this problem was caused by a faulty mic so I sent the phone to be repaired and they tell me the mic has been replaced but still the problem persists.
I wonder if this is all related to some kind of software bug that Motorola needs to fix?

I think the only way Moto can fix it with software is to disable the noise cancelling mic, but it will still suck since the main mic is on the back. It's hard to believe testing didn't catch that having both mics on the back was a bad thing. I gave up with trying to make calls with the E. I got a G, and since the mic is on the FRONT, it's a great calling phone. People say they think I'm on a land line.

Hmmm.... I'm probably gonna try to revoke my purchase on the grounds that sound quality in voice calls is so poor people can't hear and understand what I'm saying. Or if that doesn't work I might just have to sell it.
I mean it's kind of inconvenient that before answering a phone call I have to first connect a pair of headphones to it.
Plus I've already had to have this phone repaired three times since I bought it two months ago:
Initially when I bought the phone the headphone jack didn't work at all. So I took it back to the store and they replaced the whole phone.
About a month later the headphone jack of my newly replaced phone stopped working so I sent it to be repaired and they replaced the headphone jack
And last week I had the mic replaced but unfortunately that didn't improve voice call sound quality
An additional problem I've had is that if I press the + button on my wired headphones to increase volume Android doesn't actually increase the volume but instead it starts a google voice search. At first I thought my headphones were broken but then I tried them with three of my friends Android phones as well as my other Lumia phone and none of them had that problem. And I actually went to the store where they sold me the Moto E phone and tried my headphones on two other Moto E phones they have on display there and on both of them the plus button on my headphones had that same problem. So... that seems to be another bug in the phone's software (and/or hardware).
So yeah, not a very high quality product. Although pretty much everything else about Motorola Moto E 2nd gen is great actually!

Plus I've already had to have this phone repaired three times since I bought it two months ago:
Initially when I bought the phone the headphone jack didn't work at all. So I took it back to the store and they replaced the whole phone.
About a month later the headphone jack of my newly replaced phone stopped working so I sent it to be repaired and they replaced the headphone jack
And last week I had the mic replaced but unfortunately that didn't improve voice call sound quality
An additional problem I've had is that if I press the + button on my wired headphones to increase volume Android doesn't actually increase the volume but instead it starts a google voice search. At first I thought my headphones were broken but then I tried them with three of my friends Android phones as well as my other Lumia phone and none of them had that problem. And I actually went to the store where they sold me the Moto E phone and tried my headphones on two other Moto E phones they have on display there and on both of them the plus button on my headphones had that same problem. So... that seems to be another bug in the phone's software (and/or hardware).
So yeah, not a very high quality product. Although pretty much everything else about Motorola Moto E 2nd gen is great actually!

Yeah I think the E is a great little phone. If it only did what it's called. A PHONE! I haven't had any issues with mine, so I keep it as a backup, or to take when I'm just needing to have a phone stashed away. It's hard to believe for just a bit more to get the G you get almost a flagship level phone. I highly recommend the G (2/16 version) if you decide to get rid of the E.
No issues at all on mine.
No one tried to adjust noise cancelation settings yet (in system files)?
I have been having the same problemCupping my hand over the bottom of the phone (or using a headset with a mic, or a car's bluetooth system!) works best as far a I'm concerned.-- settling my hand over the top half of the back of the phone doesn't work of me. This is probably due to some particularity of hand shape/size, or maybe the silicone case... No doubt there is an element of bad design in this problem.
Thanks!!! Tape trick worked perfect on my brothers E and I can now understand what he's saying even though I seldom agree with it.
