During calls my Nexus 5 has no audio in regular call mode generally, I can hear great, but people can't hear me at all. However, a headset works, and speaker phone works. More surprisingly, if you start in either of those modes, then go to regular call modes, the microphone works fine for about 30 seconds!
It has the regular vanilla Android 5.1.1 OS, I do not have root. But I would consider rooting if there was a fix.
try to reset your phone. it it's possible is software causing the issue and wiping it could fix it. It is also a bit more possible you are having hardware issues. anyway here's hoping its just software related.
I tried resetting the phone and that didnt seem to work :/.
I dont understand how it could be a hardware problem given that it works in so many other scenarios. How could I diagnose a hardware issue?

Hi anyone and all,
My XDA II all of a sudden developed a problem in that although I can dial and hear people I had called, they can not hear me. I have toggled the mute button, performed a soft and hard reset and even installed the latest upgrade in an effort to resolve, but no joy.
Does anyone have any ideas on how i can fix my beloved XDAII?
have you tried
1. to use normal record to check if the mic is working?
2. cleaned the mic
phone can only hear callers
Yes, i have tired the record function, that works fine, sorry should have mentioned that earlier, i wonder if it is a component transmitter problem!
After many months of normal usage on the HTC Inspire with an AT&T sim card, this problem has occurred:
When using the regular phone app, while either placing or receiving a call, the other party hears me fine, but no sound comes out of the regular speaker at the top area on the phone. However, normal 2-way audio works fine if I plug in a headset. Also, sound is heard from the speaker after I change to speakerphone mode, but this is not the way that I wish to normally use the phone. Changing any and all of the volume settings makes no difference, including "In call" volume. Strangely, I can still hear the phone ring for incoming calls, but I cannot hear the ringing on the line after I dial a proper number. A few more details:
-Restarts, long off-periods, battery removals, recovery screen restarts, all haven't fixed the problem
-Doing factory reset doesn't fix, including reinstalling Gingerbread update
-Speaker sound is normal for all other apps (any media app, audio notifications, etc.)
-However, if I install any data telephone-type apps, such as SipDroid (for a Sip number) or Groove IP (for Google Voice number), these apps encounter the exact same speaker problem as the stock phone app.
-If this relates to a hardware problem, it's odd that it worked normally for many months, and the phone didn't encounter a fall or water damage, not to mention that the speaker seems to physically work properly for all other apps except phone apps.
Any clues to solve this problem are appreciated.

You do know that it uses a different speaker when on speaker phone and for other apps right? It sounds like the speaker used for phone calls maybe loose or dead.
So if that's the case, I guess getting it fixed is not really a viable option. Seems like such a repair would cost more than a phone replacement. Would you agree?

Well that depends. You could most likely do it yourself for pretty cheap. That is what I would do as it is not really that hard with the time and research. I would call around to repair places and see what they will charge you.
Well you can look into the inspire tinny audio fix but its for cm roms. But there is a modify version of it for sense roms. I had some what of the same issue..

I probably had tried the Tinny Audio Fix before, but to be sure, I loaded it again within CM7. Still not fixed.
I've had to accept the fact that the front speaker is broken and needs to be repaired or replaced, so that's what I'll do. I guess that all hardware breaks eventually. Thanks!

Sounds like the phone may be stuck in headphone mode. Try plugging in headphones and pulling them out a few times and see if that corrects it. My cousin had that issue on a different phone. Lots of dirt and pocket fuzz gumming up the headphone jack.

For some reason when placing a call the person on the other line cannot hear me at all, but when I put the call on speaker they hear me perfectly. I've tried so many fixes (changing the levels with a file explorer, wiping absolutely everything, and even tried other ROMs besides stock), but still no luck is this a harware issue or software issue?
The fact it works, means it's software. Have you tried a different rom?.

That's what I was thinking, but yes I've tried other ROMs and no luck /:
I have the opposite problem, people hear me fine on normal phone calls but the can't hear me when i turn on speaker, i have flayed everything including colour os with no success.
Skype speaker works fine, hangouts doesn't
The mic issue with headset is a bug. Please vote here https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-133
Hello!
I have a major issue during videocalls using google duo, skype where if there are any background noise around me, i can't hear the person i am talking to. The audio cuts off. It has to be silent around me in order for me to hear the person i am talking to. Is there any fix to this problem? I have already reset the phone but the problem is still there.
mic (over) sensitivity? perhaps some will stop by and know the file and file entry to edit.
any of this type setting elsewhere (Settings, the app itself, and sound modification yo have installed, eg Viper, etc... that you can check/get to?
I have no sound modification installed. I checked the settings but there seems to be no part adressing this issue. The same problem happens when i use different apps like skype, google duo and signal. Could it be a hardware problem? The microphone works fine when i record a video or recording audio.
Maybe.
Rooted? If so, and you've done a full, clean install, and sure that the install is working ok, maybe try another custom ROM.
Normal calls work, as I get you it's (just) video calls? Another possibility, I'd consider looking up mic sensitivity and ways to decrease it. On the OnePlus One I am aware there was a configuration file folks could mess with to try and resolve that phone's mics over sampling. That was a common issue for many.
Have you tried turning the volume down and see if that has any effect?
Wish I could offer more ideas, I have used video calls maybe 3 times in 8 years.
The phone is not rooted. This problem occurs only when i use internet based videocalls (skype, google duo). The volyme is not usually high when i call. Thank you for your time, hopefully i will find a solution soon.
Frustrating. Good luck.
Hey guys,
since amazon is out of stock - and therefore, getting a replacement device is kind of difficult - and I'm still waiting for oneplus to respond, I'd like to hear from you if you encountered similar issues with your OP6:
During calls, I can hear the other side just fine, but the person on the other side can not hear me most of the time. Sometimes, it seems some shreds of voice are being transmitted. It happened on about 90% of calls. There are calls that are perfectly fine, but most of the time, the phone is unusable.
What I could test so far:
- it happens in handset mode, speakerphone and with a bluetooth headset
- it happens on both SIMs, swapping them does not change anything
- it happens on 2G as well as 3G (no VoLTE available yet)
- the microphone works fine if I use the audio recorder (outside of calls)
- calls made via VoIP-software seem not to be affected, though audio quality on the other side isn't that great either (but that might be unrelated)
- sometimes, it seems to happen mid-call
Both SIMs did obviously work fine in my previous device (OP3), signal strength in calls is about -70dBm, both SIMs are on T-Mobile (Germany).
I'm on an A6003 with OOS 5.1.5, Baseband is MPSS.AT.4.0.c2.10-00012-SDM845_GEN_PACK-1.147963.5, bootloader is unlocked and rooted with Magisk.
I did find a thread describing similiar issues on the oneplus-forums (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/dual-sim-issues.838595/#post-18474985), but I'm currently unable to login to their forums, for whatever reason.
Can any of you guys give me a hint on what to test to narrow down if it's a hardware or a software issue or maybe even suggest a workaround?
I'm happy to provide more details where necessary.
I'll probably have to switch back to my OP3 anyway, so I could give the Android P beta a shot and see if it happens there as well.
Best Regards.
So, it turns out (*after* factory resetting and flashing Android P of course ><) that the echo test number I've been using is equally broken on otherwise working phones, so most of my test results are null and void. I'll give it some more testing...
Just a heads-up for users who may stumble upon this thread in the future: call quality problems are mostly gone after updating to 5.1.6 (and replacing SIM-cards).
I've bought a OP6 just three days ago and I've updated it immediately to OS 5.1.8 (I've also rooted it) and the phone calls problems (call drops and other person can't hear my voice sometimes) are present.
I hope OnePlus will fix the issues not so later...
Unfortunately, I can't rule out that replacing the SIM-cards actually fixed the issue - it might be worth a shot. I haven't had any issues since my last post.
