EDIT: Covering either one of the mics distorts sound in a phonecall.
Problem solved

I have been noticing this since I got the phone last week and I couldn't really figure out why it was happening.
During a phone call I finally found out that the recipient couldn't hear my voice properly, even though I hadn't changed my tone at all, when the phone was kept in a landscape manner.
Has anyone else been having the same problem?
I'm guessing this is a software that, if it has been signaled to Google, could be fixed with an update.

I have similar issues. When I'm lying down in bed and the phone is almost upside down with that top mic port touching the pillow under my head, people can't hear me at all. The bottom mic stops working or something. I have to make room between the phone and the pillow to get them to hear me again. Hopefully a software/noise cancellation issue.

I figured out the problem. I was simply covering the secondary mic (top of the phone). I did a few trial and errors and found that was the problem. So no hardware/software issue, it was just a simple case of mishandling the phone
I hope this is the same for you! :victory:

Thank you! I was wondering why this was happening. I had the phone upside down so the top mic was touching the pillow.

Why it should happen? it is not like this in other phones. the top microphone is for talking on speaker mode. why the bottom microphone stops working when you are laying down?
it is weird.
So, this morning, when i tried to make some calls ( or others call me) my mic is dead also (and everywhere else, google now, video/sound rec -just hiss-) only works when the speakerphone is on, then it works fine, when i close the speaker from the call, mic is dead...
The noise cancelation is not covered with anything ( tried to also cover it with my finger to test) and nothing works... only when the speaker on calls is on...
Anyone found anything about this ?

I have exactly the same issue. Did you resolve it with your phone?
Yeah... The noise cancelation mic was dead. I had to replace it... It was about 30 euro

Thanks for the reply. Very interesting. I have read so much about this issue and this is the first time I have heard that the noise cancellation mic had to be replaced. Where did you pick up the part? Did you do the repair yourself? Any tips or guidance?
i got it from LG, replaced it myself, its nothing much if you got some tools to correctly open the phone.
i just wna check if my nexus5 have problem with the speakers.
when i cover the left side of the speakers on the bottom, i almost cant hear anything from the right side. is this normal? i can only hear sound from left and even if i max out volume and block the left side, theres no sound at all from the right side
Yes, It's perfectly normal. The right side grill is of the mic... The device has a single speaker!

Hi
I have problem with my phone!!! I always hear noise from inside the phone. I hear it all the time when i put the phone close to my ear from both sides and the noise is in the upper side of the phone. It's like I'm listening the phone working. Anyone like me? Any solutions?
Okay I noticed it today I was on a call with somebody and I needed to take down a note so I switch my phone to the left ear and I noticed that the phone call was very low. Okay I don't have an ear problem on my left cuz I confirmed that using my wife's phone its a moto X and the call was very loud. So can someone confirm this if your having the same problem or is there a setting that needs to be changed.
Hi there,
It seems that it is caused by the position of the receiver of A9.
I have just tested my A9. I moved my ear from the left side to the right side of the receiver and I noticed that the sound volume changed from loud to low.
I think the actual receiver should be placed near to the left side of the whole receiver.
Maybe your ear was near to the right side of the whole receiver after you switched the phone to the left ear. Try to adjust your ear's position next time.
So this question I had to bring to the Non carrier s6 threads .
I have g920t s6
The charging port went bad so I easily and successfully replaced it.
After that fact I no longer had a bottom mic for outgoing calls noone can hear me unless I go to speaker phone and use the top mic.
Supposedly the s6 has a lower mic that's claimed to be built into the charging port so a replacement should have this .
My new part fixed the charge but now no mic
I cannot nowhere visibly see what represents a mic. Someone tell me the issue here is it built in unnoticeable on the Board or the main board
I don't want to keep ordering these I've been told some are defective but if I can't see what looks as a lower mic what do I do?
If you even were to tear apart a s6 there's nothing behind the speaker outlet on the bottom of the phone it's like a mic hole and speaker grill that have nothing behind them.
Any illustrations posted so I can see what to look for would help.
Thanks
