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.
So I'm guessing I blowed my main Mic, and now I was wondering if there is any way to set up the secondary mic as the main(for phone calls and whatsapp voice messaging) , since I know this one is still working.
I've been looking through the build.prop and cant seem to find anything defining where the mic settings are or what apps have access to which mic.
I have a galaxy a500fu running custom CM12.1 by the @TheWhisp
I'd be so happy if someone has an idea, because i really don't wanna buy a new mic and open up my phone once again
I have an s3 international but the main microphone dosen't work due to an hardware issue whereas the back one (camera microphone) works good. So when i make calls i have to use a bluetooth headset or an headset with built-in mic. I would ask if someone is able to make a sort of mod (even a file that i can replace in system root) to says the phone to use the 2nd mic as default for calls, recorders etc. Even you can't make a mod like this anyone can tell me whose file manage the mic settings? Please help me, many thank in advance!
Hi guys i have a little problem with my z ultra, i replaced my lcd screen and in the process i damage the microphone and i was wondering if i could use the secondary mic as primary to make and receive calls i do know that the second is for media use lke video but if there is a way to enable it to be use as. any idea? thank you
