How many MICs are there in the V30? In speaker phone mode, the other party can not hear anything from my side.
Phone Call: MIC works
Video Recording: MIC works
Speaker Phone: Silence
If there are only two MICs, why would video recording work?

Have you installed custom ROM, installed any mods, etc? What firmware are you on? What variant?

The speaker phone issue has been around since I was on stock firmware (Android 7.0). I recently rooted the device but I am still on stock AT&T Oreo firmware.
It sounds like the one MIC that is used for speaker phone is broken. Where exactly is it located? Since I am rooted, is it possible to change the software to use the working MIC for speaker phone?

Main two mics are top and bottom of phone. The two tiny pinholes. For stereo recording on video.
For speaker phone I assume it uses the bottom mic?
The ear speaker actually turns into 3rd mic during high decibel environment (when you're obviously not using your ear speaker for telephone call).
The bottom MIC works when I am on a call. I know that MIC works because if I could mute it by cover the hole with my finger. My only issue is with speaker phone. Whichever MIC it uses is not working.

Then speaker phone mode must use top mic?
See if something is blocking it. Blow out with compressed air.
If that doesn't work, send off to LG for repair.
OK, It does make sense that the MIC on top is used when the speaker phone is on. The audio feedback would be horrible if the MIC near the speaker is used.

Does anyone know how to have call audio come through the headphone jack when plugged into my headphones while allowing the use of the internal mic for my voice?
I am coming for epic touch 4g that used to do it automatically when I had my headphones plugged in, but now people on the other of the call cannot hear my voice through the internal mic. I am guessing the phone thinks I have a headset with a mic, which I don't, so it turn off the internal mic.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Had the same problem on my Samsung Captivate. I think the headphone jack is slightly different and causes this. I've heard of it being fixed in custom roms though.

Bummer. I went searching through the call settings and did not find anything so this is sounding more like the case..
I actually have the opposite problem and have a headset with a mic, but the voice isn't being transmitted at all.
I can hear them no problem, but they can't hear me. Seems to work fine with the stock earbuds but not with my other headset (which worked fine on my S2).

So with stock ear buds the people can here you through the internal mic? What type of headphones are you using?

Exactly. I'm using my Beats by Dre with the ControlTalk cable. Again, no problems on the S2, just on the Note
Me too
I have the same problem with my Captivate. When I plug in a headphone to listen to music and I receive a call, I cannot take the call using audio output as my headphones and internal phone built in mic for the input.
Has anyone found a solution to that yet ?
--Update.
I'm on Slimbean 4.2.2 and surprisingly it seems to work now.

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, I just got a AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note and the microphone (bottom) does not work. No one is able to hear me but I can hear them.. but when I switch it to Speaker Mode the microphone (top) works and people can hear me.
I've tried blowing into the bottom mic to see if it makes any noise at all and I can hear something like the mic is being blocked? How do I fix this?
Return it!
I'm having the same issue. Had the phone for a couple months, just started having this problem over the past few days.

My problem is just the opposite. The microphone does not work when in speakerphone, which is what I mostly use. I have [UCLF6] Electron's LEGO ROM loaded. Any ideas?
Reason I ask...
Whenever I put a call on speakerphone, no one can ever hear me.
And I just now noticed the couple videos I took with my DNA are only playing audio out of one channel (right).
Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
And I know about the noise cancelling mic...
Curious if there is another mic (third) inside that is defective or I just have a bad flash on my rom.
I believe there are 2 one on top and one on bottom of the phone.

sounds like a defective mic.
Mic works on calls without speaker phone on, voice recorder works, video audio records, although only one channel...

sounds like it uses one mic on the call and would normally be doing sound canceling as well but its dead and that happens to be the mic used when on speaker phone. That would also explain why your getting mono recording but to be sure in video options in the camera is stereo sound checked?
Speaker phone works amazing for me on this. Must be a defaulty device?

Yea, stereo is checked.
Might have to deal with it... Not really wanting to go JTag route on a replacement.
Ugh... spoke to HTC. Apparently the mic for speakerphone calls and for stereo recording is located up top with the noise cancelling mic.
So new question, how hard would it be to replace that you think?
Hello guys just today I have noticed that when some one call me that the sound from the top speaker is so low.
When I go to the ringtone and adjust the sound or choose a ringtone it plays well and loud but when is actually some one ringing just to low. Is any one having this issue?
Dont think is a hardware or else would do that all the time.

On voice calls only the bottom speaker works not the top one
Well funny enough my brother called me and the top speaker was working the stopped and worked again so I do think there is a software issue with it!

Huh? No. unless you turn on speaker phone, the TOP speaker is used for calls. The one you hold next to your ear.

No I'm talking about putting on the speaker phone
The top speaker is active during phone calls on loudspeaker (to add extra performance and volume to the speakerphone setting) as long as the front proximity sensor isn't triggered, as soon as the front proximity sensor detects a hand, face or "ear" it will disable the top speaker to protect the user from hearing damage as the amplified top speaker is significantly louder than the un-amplified earpieces in the previous models. What I personally find frustrating though is that the top speaker isn't used when the phone rings (even when the phone is laying on a table with the proximity sensor unobstructed), therefore the ringer volume is effectively almost half as loud as music/youtube playback.
UPDATE: I think it's the same with notification sounds as well...
