I was sleepily switching SIM cards and accidentally poked the sim tool into the noise reduction mic.
I'm sure I felt a little click or pop and I'm obviously worried I've damaged something.
Is there any sure fire way to test its definitely working properly other than just making calls?
I pulled up the diagnostics menu but I can't see anything relevant in there to test, is there anything in there perhaps not immediately obvious that could help me see if it's functioning properly?
Thanks!
Well, now I don't feel so stupid for doing the same thing.
Guess we are three.... any findings??

Well either it's an ongoing problem, or there's three stupid people. I'm gonna go with ongoing problem.
Only findings I have is that the phone's function doesn't seem to be impacted at all.
I've not noticed any issues, calls seem to be fine!
I didn't find anything else concrete, just an article somewhere talking about the diagnostics menu where I left a comment. The author came back to me and had also done something similar (it's a real issue! ) and said his was fine and it "probably" hadn't done any lasting damage
Good to know, thanks!

and here is the 5th stupid. :silly:
Yet another. I just did the same on Galaxy E5. A bit worried although nothing seems broken.
A 6th stupid
I did the same too...
Well, fortunately I'm not one of you, stupid people D ) but maybe I have a tip to test the microphone.
Open the voice recorder and set the interview mode (I have set the Italian language on my phone, so I don't know the exact english name of the app and of the function, sorry): using that you can record the voice of two people (one in front of the other) using the 2 microphones, with a visual feed of what mic is recording the sound (you have the visual feed in the play mode, too).
Test it!
Thank for the advise Glaucos, I ran the voice recorder and luckily both microphones appear to be in good order even though I poked the hole of the noice cancellation mic pretty hard.
Hey guys, I'm with the same problem haha, someone poked my mic and I don't know how to check it.
My galaxy A3 2016 has the Samsung Recorder, but I'm unable to change to the interview mode. Any thoughts of another recorder I can download?
Thanks in advance!
Working solution for testing mic (works for both the mics )
Dial *#0283#
This will take you to mic test menu, offering 4 options i.e. rcv_1st mic
Rcv_2nd mic
Earphone
Stop.
Generally second mic is the mic on the top(noise cancellation mic)
Choose the option and speak into it. It will be reapting your sound. If it does then its working else you have damaged it.
Choosing the option channels the mic and speaker into something like mic to speaker system where you speak into mic and hear the same thing out of the speaker at the same time.
I have tested this on my galaxy note 5

Thanks! Worked on my A50 with android 10. Droped the phone to the water and I was unsure if the second mic was working ok.
Hi! I have a problem with my m4. The mic seems to turn off when i switch to loudspeaker during a call or if i start a fb messenger call with camera on. However the mic works fine with normal calls, i can record, use google speech etc. Mic test succeeded. Safe mode on and the same thing happens. I have put newest rom for central europe 26.1.A.2.147, wiped all possible data via flashtool and even on clean phone without any apps the problem still exists. I did not change any settings or so. It is just the mic not working when i wany to use loudspeaker ( the onr on the bottom of the phone). I also had issues with lower volume levels than in other m4, but here the rom update might help - i will see in fee days as i did rom update today. Do You have any idea what is wrong? The phone never had contact with water etc.

I have the same Issue, I already made a hard reset but the problem remains. Have you had any progress on this?
Totally nothing. I hope service will fix it.
Same Problem here
Guys did found how to fix this?
Hi, guys.
I had the same issue but it has fixed itself already. Yesterday I wanted to show my friend that on loudspeaker 2nd mic doesn't work but... It worked. I was shocked, I hadn't done anything special. Maybe it was some app issue that is uninstalled now, or that was a virus? I don't know, however it works now.
I m also facing the same issue on my m4 my voice doesnt goes through loudspeaker mode during calls.
I went to the service centr n they r also failed to solv this problem.

Sony microphone doesn't work with loud speaker on
I'm having exactly the same problem with my Sony Xperia M4 Dual Aqua. When the loud speaker (audio output) is on, the microphone doesn't work anymore. I can't be heard by the person on the other end of the phone. Has anyone found a fix to this? The phone has 2 microphones, so maybe there's a conflict with the speaker and microphone or maybe the second microphone doesn't work - anyone got any ideas?
Anyone solved it yet?
I have e2333
I removed memory card and restarted phone, and it worked, i think memory card is interfering with noise cancellation mic, bcoz when you test the mic with audio recorder, you will find noise cancellation mic is low

Thx for sharing,i tried to do this but still like before. I have e2333 too,n it had marshmallow official update last night but didnt solve the problem
it has nothing to do with any software issue or any thing with memory card. all it has to do is with its headphone jack. it permanently recognizes that a headset with mic is connected so it lets the primary mic non functional. and it is probably due to moisture in the motherboard connecting the jack or may b due to numerous fall from heights that lets the jack very lose. try inserting a headphone leave that headphone for a while let ur device get heated up by heavy use or over charging. then remove the jack test the mic again it shall work. if not repeat the procedure again and again till it works. and this method has been tested by me as well as several other users in my proximity. so all the best guys hope it works for ya too. important thing is it might stop working again. so keep repeating
