Hello, i'm having a weird issue with my phone's mic. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, first I want to apologize for my english, it's not my first language but I will try my best.
Well, I have a Blu Life 8 XL with KitKat 4.4.2 (I updated it to Lollipop, then the mic issue starts... I restored factory default config and now its on KitKat again) and after 2 weeks my mic stopped working. I tried everything on the net to fix it but nothing seems to work (disabling noise reduction, cleaning the mics, the paper on the back of the battery that works on nexus 5, disabling google search, etc).
Making tests with the phone's sound recorder I suddenly found this:
When I record something the app seems to be recording (the needle moves just as if the mic capture the sound) but when I play it only noise comes out (like ground noise, static noise).
But if I plug my earphones and play the same recording, now I can hear what I recorded, so the mic is not the problem I guess.
If I record something with the earphones mic, I can hear it with the earphones, or the phone speaker.
Also when calling, I must use the loudspeaker or the earphones becouse otherwise people can't hear me.
Any recomendation, help or something?

[Q] Speaker completely stopped working

My speaker COMPLETELY stopped working a few hours ago!!
Any type of audio that is routed through the rear speaker is now nonfunctional: e.g. ringtones, notifications, alarms, speakerphone, audio from music/videos, camera shutter, audio from video games!! Audio now only works if I plug in headphones, or if I route it to a bluetooth audio device.
The only thing that works is the front earpiece during a call.
Does anyone know what on EARTH could have caused this, and how I can fix it!?
Thank you...
P.S. Before anyone asks...my phone's software and hardware have not been modified in ANY way.

This seems like it would be a hardware issue, maybe software. If is software maybe you could factory reset (I know you probably don't want to do this), but this sort of thing happened to me. After I reset the phone my speakers ended up working fine after that. I hope this could help you out with your problem. Let me know how this turns out for you.

Speaker and microphone problem (headphone jack works)

Hello.
One day my i9100 got into water and after that it started to behave oddly. It has problems with speaker (I can't hear voice calls) and people who I call can't hear me so it has faulty microphone too. The tricky part is that headphone jack works fine, same as microphone on the bottom, I can talk with people with connected headphones and another speaker works (eg. it makes beepy sounds when I start to record the movie).
I have replaced speaker module (upper one) with no success. Same for software change (stock to CM9).
Do you have any clue what can I do with it?

[Q] Solution for Audio Recording, need advice on Video Camcorder audio

When recording a song yesterday, my song ideas came out choppy.I was recording strictly wav audio and It almost sounded like there was a noise gate on the phone. After a while of digging through options, I found an option in Call settings> Additional Settings > noise reduction. When this option is selected, the phone turns on a noise gate that makes audio recordings sound terrible; However, when this option is turned off, Audio recordings sound great!! Unfortunately, this doesn't affect the audio quality when recording video, because most wav audio programs only use one microphone. So, I'm wondering....Seeing as how this phone records camcorder audio in stereo( one mic at the top and one at the bottom ), is it possible that these microphones are out of phase and thats why there is no bass in video recording? I'm assuming that the polarity on the top microphone is reversed to eliminate background noise during calls. Also, maybe there is a camcorder program where you can select which microphone to use. When I connected my Galaxy headphones( with the included Mic) the audio was redirected from the the two microphone to the headset microphone. Im thinking of making a TRRS to TRS adapter, which will connect only the microphone and see if that resolves the issue. I understand that I could just add an equalizer to the audio from video in iMovie, but I really enjoy experimenting with this problem. Furthermore, has anybody tried making an XLR to TRRS cable? I used one on my Samsung Vibrant years ago and it sounded great! any suggestions would be great!!! (To get to call settings, you have to click on the phone app, then left button to access)

Microphone issues

Hi! First of all, I did research about this, and tried every possible solution posted in this forum, but without success...
The problem is with my s2 main microphone (down one). When making a call sometimes the receiver can't hear me, but if I switch to speaker, then its ok. So I test the mic with voice recorder app, and yes...I've mic problems...I've to scream so the mic barely detect any sound. I tried to open the rubber hole that is over the mic but nothing.... The rare thing is that if I hit the phone, or shake it, suddenly mic works fine...its like random .
what can it be??

earpiece grille not producing any sound

As title suggest, no sound come out from the earpiece grille/upper speaker. So whenever someone calling me, I can't hear them and have to resort to use speaker or plugging earphone.
Attached picture are my spec, and "play music by receiver" test that I have done.
Same problem here.
I was using V11.0.4.0.QJWEUXM (EEA), changed to V11.0.10.0.QJWMIXM and still have the same problem.
From time to time speaker (earpice) work ok.
I made a test with an app Speaker test from Playstore and it works, so i think its a software problem.
I think that the volume go to low because i can here something but at a volume to low.
Any sugestion what to do next?
