hey,
has anyone got one of these, are they any good?

thanks!
I have one which works well - for use without the phone this is OK
mine came from gps for less and came complete with a mic which when using the phone was no good as anyone calling me could hear their own voice echoing back as it was too close to the speaker - I solved it by wiring an external speaker and disconnecting the internal one.
I recently cracked the screen on my AT&T One X. All phone functions were working fine afterwards. I replaced the screen with the LCD/front housing from eTradeSupply.com. After reassembly, everything works EXCEPT the microphone!
I took the phone apart a few times to make sure I had all the wires connected. I inspected the microphone/nav light flex and it appears to be fine (visually). I know the phone has two microphones, one at the bottom and one near the power button. I don't believe either mic is working, since:
1. I am unable to record sound in voice recorder.
2. I am unable to record sound on either channel in video camera.
3. During calls, people can't hear me in normal or speakerphone mode.
I can pair a Bluetooth headset and make calls that way, but I'd prefer to make calls normally.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I have ordered a replacement microphone/nav light flex just in case, but I'm not sure it will fix the problem as both microphones seem to be affected...
Thanks in advance,
Phil
Did you figure this out? I also ordered a screen from the same place and both microphones stopped working. Odd.

Hi there! I've bought used Nexus 5 recently, and it had issue with microphone and cracked screen. So I ordered replacements on ebay, but when I've changed daughterboard (usb, mic, etc.), the problem remains. Everything work with both daughterboards except for the mic. And yes, i tried it with different ROMs. I can't complain about unfair seller, screen was rather good.
So, my question is: may there be another reason for mic not working, or it is nothing but defective daughterboard? I don't believe in such coincidences.
Can't get another device for test now, so i need for you help.
in-call mic not working
i'm having problems with my mic also after cracking a screen and replacing the screen then I cracked the new one and a few weeks later after I installed android L my in call mic broke my speaker phone will work but not the regular one but I have yet to find any solution I have factory reset and tried multipule roms Maybe a bootloader update I know there was in call problem on the 4.4.1 update due to the bootloader needing updated but I would think my speaker phone would not work if this was the case., I was thinking about putting my stock screen back on and trying to send it back but it was a present from my step dad so it might be a pain. I will let you know if I figure something out , Is yours al mics or just in call? does speaker phone work?
Speaker works. Only in-call mic seemed to be broken.
Same issue, after updating to lollipop my mic stop working
Hi, i have the same problem.
Did you solved it in the meantime?
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.
Hey,
i have a huge problem with my microphone. I got my u11 yesterday, I recorded a voice message via WhatsApp and I noticed that the quality is very miserable. I assume that a microphone must be damaged, but before I complain I wanted to make sure that this is not normal. In Videos the sound quality is alright (first example) but in voice messages the quality is very bad (second example)
I had to add a few blanks
good:

bad:

Is this the normal quality? No, right?

Have you tried recording a message in the stock recorder app? If it is fine then it sounds like WhatsApp is the problem.
It's not a problem of whatsapp. Because the problem also occurs with other apps.. i downloaded several voice recorder apps and always the same bad quality. But with the stock recorder app the quality is good.

So it sounds like the problem exists in 3rd party apps which probably haven't been updated to work properly with the hardware of the device. Doesn't seem like a hardware defect to me if you can get good audio recording in any app.
My WhatsApp sounds fine so yeah might be your mic...call someone and see
Same problem on mine
I have just bought an HTC u11 in taiwan and I have the same problem. I ran the audio diagnostics (See HTC.com support for instructions) and the Microphone #3 has a very low level with some electrical noise, so it is clearly a hardware problem.
The phone is 2 weeks old... I am very disapointed and ask HTC to replace it but they don't seem cooperative, they want to open it and fix it, which is obviously not great. Haing a brand new phone open for repair is not good.
Not Good HTC...

If you're within your return window, just return it. Buy another u11 or find a different device.
I have the same problem in microphone 3. Interesting enough, It is not completly useless and seems to get better from time to time. I wonder if there is a problem with the water isolation. The main problem is to talk while in loudspeaker, people cant hear me well. I wonder if I can divert the microphone while in loudspeaker so that the phone uses microphone 1, 2 or 4. Then my problem would be solved. Anyhow, if some functionality exist in the microphone, shouldnt we be able to increase gain?
There is something up with the microphones... Works fine in stock apps including phone and camera but fails HTC diagnostics and third party apps - the HTC diagnostic app doesn't even pull anything from any of them including the headset. I wonder if it's a kernel issue.
I have absolutely great news. I have discovered my problem at least. I happened to discover that the glass protection was covering microphone 3. The glass was badly cut and when I took the protection off everything was alright again. Maybe same problem jterpreau? please check.

Mic #3 is imediatly left of front facing camera
Solved
Yeah, I had the exact same fault and it was the screen protector covering the mic.
Have removed it now and it's all good!
Yeah, i fixed it!!!
so mic #3 has issues, but i noticed that the protecting glass is the problem, because mic #3 is right above the screen and if you use inappropriate screen protector, it will lead to this. remove the screen protector and test it
i have issue using Instagram video snaps, the sound is awful and not clear! all microphones are NOT covered!
same goes for whatsapp videos!
however using the stock camera app, all works well!
PLEASE HELP!
Microphone broken? - U11 mic3
Same problem, initially worked for all audio, but after phone got briefly rained on, voice recorder does not work, and I have no voice output in calls. Video records audio (different mics). If I try to record on voice recorder it briefly registers one initial peak then nothing, playback produces one brief click at the start, which can be felt through the back (midway down, to the left) as well as heard. Earphones still work, although HTC's adaptor won't work if I plug the audio lead from the stereo into it. No wireless charging is a shame, can't cv charge when you're using the USB C socket for audio. I've been loyal to htc for a while, this phone is a disaster, for more reasons than I've mentioned, and far too fragile. I reckon it's hexed or coated in marching nanobots, you can't put it down anywhere without it sliding off - it often waits 5 or 10 mins before doing this, and requires no disturbance, vibration, notifications or passing traffic to assist it. My first u11 broke when it slid out of its case whilst in call, something it was quite adept at. Sadly it is the only HTC offered by my carrier as an upgrade from the m9 . I'm not saying the HTC one was without the odd issue, but I found them to be durable and robust, sensitive and responsive,and intuitive to use. There apoear to be lots of issues appearing with poor integration with 3rd party apps & hardware. Swype is barely useable, and glitchy. Very very disappointed. Looks nice, feels good. Insufficient design & dev. Doomrd. How fast did you break or brick yours?

Mic#3 is positioned in front of the phone at the top between the camera and the sensor.

Thanks a lot!! With a small knife I was able to reopen the whole of the mic so the sound could be received again. It solved the issue. You may dial *#*#3424#*#* and select "Audio Test" to test quality of all 4 microphones.
Thanks!

I've got a problem as Cantata. In stock apps microphones works nice, but in apps as snapchat or whatsapp sucks. Apps uses front microphone and recordes good in about 1 second, but after app mutes micro. Any help?
