A friend of mine as this phone and rooted it. She has horrible audio quality when she uses the internal microphone. Now as a past EVO4G+3D owner, I know there must be something that can be done. Searched for the word microphone nothing of interest showed.
I know theres somone in the photon 4g forums here that can provide parts, I think hes only providing to developers tho I could be remembering incorrectly but im sure hed help if I could find him xD

Hey all! I was wondering how your call quality is? Everything seems great on my end. The people on the other end however say I sound muffled, too bassy, too quiet, or like I am in a tunnel. Is this normal for these? They all said I sound clear, just quiet. They can especially tell as I am coming from a BB Torch as my main phone. Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The first few days I had my Atrix, I had that problem but once I turned the noise canceling to high and got the 1.5.7 update, everything is crystal.
Play around with the settings to see if you can't figure something out.
The Skype app on the Atrix has known problems with the audio so don't use that for now...

I tried that and it didn't help much. This is really very disappointing, I had someone tell me today that it was so quiet that they actually had to concentrate on hearing me. I'm thinking I'll have to have it replaced or returned. I would think it wouldn't be a problem since it's Motorola. I hate the idea of returning or exchanging it because I do like it and I've got it all customized and loaded now.

It most likely is software but hey getting a new handset from them can't hurt.
I read on here that moto went above and beyond to fix someones phone with a audio tech approved handset!

I tried it with my Jawbone Icon and it works perfectly. By software do you mean something I may have put on, or Motorola's software? I guess if I do want help with this contacting Motorola direct would be best then? I really appreciate all of the input guys.
Edit: Also my other thought was that I could change it out for an HTC Inspire. Don't know as though I would like that as much though.

Find your local motorola service center and take it to them. They'll courier it back to you free of charge.
Before you do that wipe it and see if that helps.

Your holding it wrong....or at least I was. I was getting the same complaints, and realized I was holding my finger over the Mic on the back of the phone. May fix your problem, just a thought.
As far as wiping it, that has been done and did not seem to help at all. Covering the mic on the back could possibly be an issue however. You are referring to the one by the fingerprint sensor correct? If necessary I may just keep my Jawbone around all the time. I will attempt to find my local Motorola service center in the meantime.

Hey, just wanted to update everyone. The update to 1.83 seems to have helped significantly. People say I sound much more clear. Thanks for the help!

When I play some games on my phone that requires me to hold my finger down on the touch screen, my touch screen becomes unresponsive. Any ideas as to what would cause this?
Typical issue with this phone search around bud. Scroll down 10 seconds and you'll find your answer and much more.
There have been many topics about this. Please read a bit, people. Of course, the people who don't read won't read me telling them to read. =/

Ya I read it, but I felt like complaining anyway.
Btw, your comment really hurt my feelings; I won't be able to sleep tonight because I'll be crying.

So I'm assuming there is nothing that can be done about this?
I believe Joker said he was able to fix it at one point, but that it was too twitchy or something. Check in the multi touch thread in development. Pretty sure that is where I read it.
My biggest gripe with this phone is this. I love the reception and sound quality, but I'm pretty much waiting for the Asus Padfone because of this issue.
I hope this isn't an issue for all Motorola devices, but I'll make sure next time I get another Motorola device.

Hello good people of XDA!
I'll just get straight to it, well basically due to some water damage the main mic on my s2 is screwed, it just produces weird static for the other person to hear on call. I intent to get it fixed soon but just havent found the time. I believe there are two mics on the S2, so I was wondering: is there some way I switch to that for phone calls, for the time being?
Im rooted btw
Could you share your rom details for further advise

Im not aware of any but there could be some hack to enable it as the primary microphone. Its the noise cancellation input mic. Its located at the top right side of the phone besides the audio jack. Would be hard to talk into it and hear the other person at the same time, wouldn't it?

I use, mic-less earphones (ear buds or whatever you call them ) so thats not a problem. A hack of that sort is exactly what I am looking for ^^
I know I could just get some earphones with inbuilt mic but If im going to do that, I might as well get my phone fixed instead
bump?
Anyone?
why don't you simply repair it? Or you like your phone being crippled in this way...
Im out of town and in a place where i cant find a reliable place to fix it, im going back in like 4 days. So just need a simple hack for the moment
As the title says. Every time I talk on the phone people are telling me I sound really far away, this has happened since I've had the phone. I'm not sure if its software related as I rooted n installed a rom as soon as it was delivered. My phone is 3 months old n I've flashed ROMs quite a few times n none of them make a difference.
I'm 100% its not the mic itself as its fine in speaker mode.
Any ideas?

I have consistent problems on speakerphone with people saying they can't hear me. I had a bear motion slim case on it but I'm not clear if that is creating any issues. Is there a hidden microphone anywhere that the case may be covering? Or do I need a warranty replacement?

It's weird, I've had certain people tell me this as well but others can hear me fine. Not sure what's going on, but I know that when I'm talking with someone who has trouble hearing me, if I put in my headphones it solves the problem. Maybe something to do with noise cancellation/echo reduction?
Do you have a case on or anything? I only have the issue on speakerphone.

my girlfriend constantly nags about it when shes on speakerphone that i sound like im far away idk what it is
Bump. I tested with skype audio test last night with no issues. I can't figure out if there is really an issue

Stop trying to find issues where there isn't. The speaker on this device is horrible, so who would actually persistently talk using it

That makes zero sense. Especially since I'm referring to the microphone

I get the same complaint. Not sure why. My case doesn't cover the microphone from what I can tell

I've been messing around with this more and it seems like the bottom mic on my device is really directional in the sense that it only seems to pick up audible sound when you talk right into it. It's definitely barely picking up anything when the phone is held normally as if for a call. The speakerphone mic seems to work fine.
EDIT: I finally took it back to the store and swapped it out for a new one. It was definitely a hardware issue as my new one sounds much better.
Same issue here and I'm not using a case.
On speakerphone only, I get complaints every single time that people can't hear me to the point where I have to switch back to handheld.
Noise reduction currently off but it's the same either way. Gonna pop into Tmobile on the way home and see what they say.
Anyone else get a warranty replacement?

Go into voice recorder and be sure the microphone setting is set to 'normal'.

For those who have a problem with this, I've been dealing with this issue since day 1. It seems to be a T-mobile problem and NOT a problem with the phone itself.
The software is set up as half-duplex and not full-duplex as it should.
That means that if the person on the other end of the line is talking or making noise and you start talking, they're not going to be able to hear you. I've tried this with my phone and a replacement phone. Same thing happened. That means that you will continuously cut in and out.
I'm currently talking to T-mobile and they have a ticket open with me to work with developers on the issue. I have no idea what happened but, as someone who uses speakerphone all the time, it's a MAJOR pain.
If anyone has more experience with this sort of issue, I'd love to hear it.
Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem along the same lines. I moved to Tmo a month or so ago when the S5 came out (ported from Sprint). The first couple of days I had great coverage but intermittently when I talked to someone, they'd tell me it sounded like I was in a tin can. At times it was hollow or echo-y. It kind of stopped, but then started up again. To me, everything sounds perfect. Now, randomly when I talk to someone, sometimes they can hear me without any problem, and sometimes they can barely understand me because of so much feedback coming through (even though I can hear them perfectly).
Tmo gave me a new sim card to use and said to wipe my cache to make sure everything was good. I did that and it worked great for about a day. Now, it's random again. I call land line and it sounds like I'm in a tin can and when they talk it's lots of feedback. I call friend on att and they have loads of feedback when they talk but perfectly fine on my end. I called someone on Tmo and had the HD appear on the call and it sounded like he was talking through a pillow.
It's so weird I can't figure out what's going on, but it's getting really annoying trying to talk to someone and end up calling them multiple times just to see if I can get a clear connection.
Bluetooth in my car seems to work perfectly for each end, though.
I'm on stock rom, rooted w/ philz recovery, and have not updated to the new ANES.
I don't use a case.
Wondering if that would help out.
Check this out might explain the mic issue
