I was on CM11 with no issues until about 2 days ago my microphone was not receiving any sound at all. Nothing during calls and I also tried sound recording with no luck.
I flashed to the new radios and sense 5 yesterday but yet my microphone still isn't sensing any sound whatsoever.
Any advice to troubleshoot the mic?
bummer
Nobody has any ideas on how to troubleshoot the mic?

Hi all,
Since I got my S3, I've been connecting it to my car's built-in bluetooth headset for music and for phone calls, and it's been working flawlessly.
Anyway, about 2 weeks ago it started making weird noise when I'm trying to call someone. At first I thought it's a connection issue, I hang up and call again, and it works fine. But at the moment, it happens all of a sudden during phone calls.
The issue is that the phone itself is still working earpiece and mic even while the bluetooth headset is connected and the bluetooth headset green button is ON. Which creates an audio loop and makes all the static and noise.
I've read that people started getting this after the JB update, with me it happened so slowly, I'm not rooted to try ICS back again. However, I tried to diagnose by connecting my old XPERIA arc to the car and my GS3 to another bluetooth headset. Same problem with the other headset, while the arc and the car work perfectly together.
I also tried to disable NFC and even removed the NFC sticker from the car completely....still the same problem.
Any idea how to fix this, or even bring it up to samsung to try to fix in the next update?

I had a similar issue when connected to my friends bose. Ended up with noise coming through, it might just be bluetooth, can be a bit funny at times.
Car bluetooth audio feedback
Helo,
I'm trying to revive this thread... I have also problems with audio feedback from my original embedded bluetooth car kit.
have a Toyota Avensis and I get a terrible feedback noise when making out calls from my phone.
I tried playing with many settings, like noise reduction etc', but none helped.
All this started since I updated to Android 4.1.X (from 4.0.4). At 4.0.4 there is no problems at all.
I see that it takes a while to the phone to actually dial. From the time that I push the call button to the actual dialing, the microphone is active and is directly feeding the audio system, which results in this annoying audio feedback.
In my mind, the microphone should be muted till the call is made... but it is on. When I wear a BT earpiece, there is no problem since there is no audio feedback path from the mic to the earpiece. but when hooked with the CAR kit there is a direct audio path between the mic and loudspeaker.
I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering from this problem. please post here if you suffered such problems.
Please post if you managed to solve the problem.
I am currently running with the latest 4.1.2 update - same frustrating problem.
no solution for feedback noise....anywhere
It seems to be a mystery. I've checked a number of forum posts with this problem and absolutely no solution. I also suddenly began experiencing this problem in my car's hands free blutooth system. Sometimes it happens, other times not. I usually switch the phone to headset then back again to make it stop. But it's becoming more frequent and the headset switch seems to be lasting for a short perios before it starts again. I've seen posts mentioning grounding issues and others that say it's normal because of the car speakers (like putting a microphone close to a speaker). This is NOT normal. I have never experienced this with a hands free system and a phone. Also, the fact that I have been using this for some months with no problem. I did however notice that when I am not using the hands free and I put my s3 on speakerphone, it sometimes switches back to headset for no reason at all. If anyone has found a solution please post it because right now in the interverse...there is none. Will do the same if I don't crush this s3 for being so annoying while in the car first.
Loud static noise

I've been going nuts with a similar problem and it started happening after the 4.1.2 update as well. When I make a call I sometimes get an ear shattering blast of static for about 1 or 2 seconds just before the call connects. My wife has the same problem and she uses her phone all the time and she's going deaf. We both have Moto's Razr Maxx. Verizon gave he a new phone, it worked phone for about 2 weeks and now it's having problems again. This really sucks and I think we need to buy new phones. If anyone has a solution I would sure like to hear it.
At some point last week while out of the country I was using Groove IP to make wi-fi calls (as I often do) but the earpiece volume started messing up and I couldn't hear things through it anymore and started using headsets and the speakerphone for calls. So I removed that app and started using Talkatone but the condition remained.
Now that I am back home and removed Talkatone as well, I find that I can't hear anything out of the earpiece on regular phone calls either. Bluetooth is fine and earbuds are fine and the speakerphone is fine, but I can't hear a thing through the phone's earpiece (and yes, the call volume is all the way up).
I tried reinstalling both apps and checked the various settings but can't find anything wrong. I also did a soft-reset but no help.
Anyone have any ideas, aside from a hard-reset? This is my second One X+ in six weeks and really hope it isn't a hardware problem.
Thanks.
Did you ever solve this problem? Experiencing the same thing on an HTC One X+ I was given. Speakerphone works fine, but the in-call speaker is totally silent.
My son had an iPhone 4s that had this problem. It was rumored being too forceful with the headphone plug broke the jack to board connection and a signal trace to the earpiece. The phone was replaced under warranty.
Good chance it's physical damage but unless you have a soldering setup for fine work you have few options.

I am on my 3rd HTC One and the microphone is still having problems. I've read other threads and none seems to provide a solution to the problem. People I talk to can hear me if I use speakerphone or a headphone, but not if I'm just on the regular headset. People can't hear me unless I scream really loud. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm on stock rom.
Dumb question, does your headset have a mic on it? And have you made sure the volume is turned up with it connected?

My buddy is having the same issue. He is now on 4.3 and is still experiencing this issue. It's been occurring for a some time now. He is completely stock/never rooted. The phone itself has horrible mic quality when using the phone alone. If he turns on speakerphone or uses a headset the quality is crystal clear.
We did some playing around on how he calls and apparently it may be an issue with the noise cancelling sensor on the back of the phone (small hole). Try calling someone while covering and not covering this hole to test if your call quality improves. He ended up hold his phone while cuffing the back and it seems to be better. It's a dumb solution, but hopefully it works for you.
Does anyone know if there is an option to turn off noise reduction on the phone? Sorry for the question, i do not own an HTC One.
I am having a weird issue. People have been complaining that they cannot hear my voice clearly on the call, or its very low. I need to be very loud for them to hear me alright. I tried all different radios and it was the same.
I figured out that if I cover the noise cancellation mic on top with my finger and talk, they can hear me perfectly fine even if i am not loud. Is this a know problem and is there anyone facing similar issues? I will appreciate any help
Thanks.
Edit: I have also tried different roms, both stock and kitkat.
Hello, I have a very strange issue , I wi be greatful if someone could help me.
When on a CALL , another person can barely hear me, voice keeps breaking up. Then When you turn ON loud speaker, problem suddenly disappear and all is good
Turn loud speaker OFF again, can't hear me properly again.
MIC tested and works fine with sound recorder.
Tried to to turn off LTE calling and disable late and other stuff
Tried to speak directly into mic, same thing.
Basically they able to hear me clearly only with loudspeaker ON . Weird
This is also strange as I seem reports where some people were complaining exactly opposite, that loudspeaker ON created problems. In my case call quality works when speaker is ON.

[SOLVED]
Found am answer on another forum. :laugh:
Basically Just had to clean the microphone hole with vacuum cleaner.
Still strange, how it works, as I wrote before, mic works fine when loud speaker ON, as and is very clear when using voice recorder. Somehow it very sensitive to any dust inside when used during a call.
But it did a job, can be heard clearly now without speaker ON or with.
I have the same issue its weird but I tried cleaning it with toothbrush and toothpick still nothing.. I will try the vacuum cleaner I hope it works.
edit:
It didn't work for me
