Hi,
after reassembly my N5 for LCD repair the microphone is no more working or better, it only works during hands free calls.
Only using a voice recording app I was able to record a very low volume talk by tweaking microphone gains.
Do I need to replace the USB board where the microphone is located? Or it is a SW issue? I have installed Android Lollipop 5.0.1.
Thanks for help!
Mines doing something similar. Mike won't work on headphone, but will on non speakerphone but not on speakerphone. Driving me nuts. Not repaired anything
Same problem here, the microfone of my Nexus 5 only works on hands free call and I not repaired anything.

Hi all
Picked up a Nexus 5 recently (latest model latest revisions) and love the phone but am having issues with the earpiece quality.
I have to constantly move the earpiece/headset around to hear the person and find the "sweet spot", or they fade in and out.
Also I notice a hiss at times.
Reception and earpiece quality overall just don't seem good.
I have iPhone 5, galaxy s4, and htc one and none have these issues.
I am on rogers wireless in Montreal.
Does anyone else have these issues ?
Any idea how I can resolve them ?
Some have suggested changing kernel ?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have the same low earpiece volume problem.
So i use my phone a lot for voice calls and here's what I've found:
1) Prior to the android update (in stock 4.4.0) the earpiece in-call volume was ok. However the microphone was bad. Meaning other people always complained that i sound very far off and they couldn't hear me clearly. But I could still make calls without using a headset.
2) After 4.4.2 update, the microphone issue seems to be resolved. People tell me that they can hear me better. However the earpiece in-call volume is much lower than before. I can only hear people if I am in a very quiet room and even then I have to strain.
The only way to use the phone for calls is to use a headset (both wired and bluetooth work). The other day I was using my old Samsung Galaxy S3 for a phone call. The difference in clarity for phone calls is night and day. I had to actually lower the volume of the S3 because it was so loud and clear.
At this point, I am not sure whether it's my Nexus phone and a hardware defect. Could it be something that google did in the 4.4.2 update (meaning fixed the microphone, but lowered the in ear volume). Furthermore using a headset at max volume sometimes distorts the audio.
The funny thing is that with the 4.4.2 update the phone speaker is better and louder. However the earpiece for making calls is just plain lousy. I can't take calls unless I am carrying a headset with me.
Mic Issue With Speakerphone Calls
I purchased a Verizon Galaxy S6 last week and have been enjoying it so far. Today I tried out the speakerphone several times and every time the person on the other end could not hear me. Is this a software or hardware issue? Is it defect or user error? What can I do to fix this? Any help in resolving this matter would greatly be appreciated. Thank you for your help.
-EDIT-
To clarify the microphone does work fine for normal calls. Does the Galaxy S6 use the same mic for both operations? Also, I have tested with and without case on. It seems like a secondary mic or software issue. Is there a secondary mic for the S6? If not then what software or settings could be effecting the speakerphone mic functions?
The Galaxy S6 I believe is like the Note 4 in regards to microphones. When you turn speakerphone on the mic at the top of the phone near the IR blaster is enabled, when just using the phone the mic on the bottom of the phone is enabled. My Note 4 had an issue, on speakerphone mode the people I tried calling could hardly understand me and it kept breaking up my voice to them. I ended up having to send it in for a warranty claim.
There are a couple holes at the top of the S6 on either side of the IR blaster. I haven't been able to dig up any reliable specs. I was hoping for a software fix, but understand hardware might be a likely culprit. Do you think there is any reason I should not take it back other than the cost of time to me waiting in the store and reloading accounts onto the phone?
Exchanged it this morning. Thank you for your help. Problem is fixed with new unit.
S6 MIC not work - all possible answers listed
Hello
I've got a problem with the mic on my s7, the one on the bottom of the phone. Few days ago everything was normal, i had good voice quality while talking but now nobody can hear me because the sound is really quiet. When i open up sound recording I hear some stuttering and white noise and I have to talk directly to the mic to hear my voice. The top speaker works perfectly fine btw. I tried to flash different roms and the problem is still there, but now it's quite better than it was before.
Did anybody have similar problem and knows the way to fix it? Or is it possible to turn the top mic as the main one?
I don't want to send it to the service bc I don't have warranty and they can break the screen and then it is expensive to repair.
I'm having an issue with my Idol 3 5.5". It functions normally when in handset or speaker mode I can hear the other party and they can hear me, but when I connect to my car's Bluetooth people tell me they can't hear me or it sounds like the mic is far away and under water. I did not have this problem with my last phone so I do not believe the issue is with my car (it's a Grom unit) I have only had this phone for a couple weeks and have had the issue from the beginning.
I'm running 6.0.1 stock ROM build 7VAB-UEB0
So far I have tried:
turning off and on Bluetooth on my phone during or right before calls
unpairing and repairing my car
I am charging an old Bluetooth earpiece to try that today and make sure it isn't an issue with my car.
Anyone else have this issue and were you able to solve it?
Me too, dont know what to do

Not the same issue. That thread is talking about poor/low microphone when recording video. This thread is about poor microphone quality through bluetooth, which does not use the phone's microphone.
I'm still trying to determine what the issue is. I tried using an old bluetooth headset and the test call was fine so I will try it tomorrow while driving to confirm. It might be that the Idol doesn't like certain bt devices.
Well after about 3 days of use it appears I have a bad mic. The other person only hears me on speaker or in a headset. What happened after the Nexus 5 where these phones started becoming garbage?
Im reading this is a common problem with the phone.
Anyone else run into this? Anyone have a fix? Blowing air in didn't work and neither did playing with the headphone adapter.
Just hit mic issues on my Pixel 2 as well. Mic works in video recordings but not in audio recordings or for google assistant. Apparently Verizon were told that there is a software fix coming (http://www.valuewalk.com/2017/11/problems-google-pixel-2-mic-solved/) but I can't find anything official. I did get it working again by blowing into it but that only lasted a few days. Now it's not working again and blowing ain't doing squat.
