Hi, I'll try to keep this as simple as I can, I'm having problems with calls reconding on my device.
Before updating to Android MM and N I was able to record every call made and received on my device on any ROM I flashed that was runing Android 5.1.1 or earlier.
After updating Marshmellow and Nougat I can still record my calls but there's a problem, the phone only records my voice over the mic and nothing else! It doesn't record whatever people is saying to me unless I turn on the loudspeaker. That wasn't happening on the previous versions of Android, I was even able to record with my earbuds's microphone, so I'd like to know if there's a workarround this issue.
Am I the only one with this problem? Some help would be very much apreciated.
Thank you!

Hello! Last week, I flashed my first ROM and installed Twingy. So far I love it, but unfortunately the call recording operation doesn't seem to work (which is one of the primary reasons I chose that ROM). After the phone call I simply get a "Failed Recording" message and no recorded message. So, after reading up a bit I tried to installed a ROM update that would allow for recording. That didn't seem to fix anything. So I tried just using an app, such as AllCallRecorder, and so far that seems to work fine recording phone calls.
My question is: Is there a benefit I'm not seeing to a ROM update that allows for recording phone calls as opposed to simply using an app?
The only benefit I can think of is the convenience of having it built-in to the OS, but I just thought I'd see if anyone has any other thoughts or comments. Thanks!
Hello, i need some serious help over here
What's the problem:
I own a galaxy 3 since June, a week ago i started noticing the internal mic wasn't working on some incoming calls.
Details:
First of all the problem began for no apparent reason (the phone works fine otherwise and no major updates / new apps were installed)
This started happening on the official froyo ROM which was an excuse for me to flash the Kyrillos 9.4 ROM (wiped all data / formatted sd card in the process). The problem still occurs on Kyrillos 9.4 ROM suggesting that this is not a ROM issue
I thought it was a hardware issue but the caller can hear me perfectly if i connect the headset or use the speaker Also the internal mic works fine on some incoming calls and ALL outgoing ones!
Upon further investigation i came upon 2 threads on other forums (unfortunately i can't post the urls as i am a new user, if needed pm me or search google for "Microphone not working on incoming calls") which point out that the same problem incurs on HTCs and XPERIAs. Also it happens on replacement phones (original unit shipped back after this problem), on different providers, on official and custom ROMs, on clean phones (only the stock apps installed).
This seems to happen when the phone is idle for a set period of time (unconfirmed). Fast Reboot app / manual reboot / removing battery don't fix this, however making an outgoing call seems to enable the internal mic temporarily (even if the outgoing call never connects)
When this happens apart from the mic not working on incoming calls it becomes also unresponsive for other apps (Tape-a-Talk, Skype, Soundhound etc.)
Conclusion:
It seems to me that there is bug in froyo that keeps the incoming call code from activating the microphone or perhaps there is a conflict of sorts that keeps the microphone blocked. It is highly unprobable i think that the microphone would randomly start to fail on different android phones in the exact same way, so this shouldn't be a hardware issue.
Question:
Does anyone know/guess or can produce a possible solution for this? If not, could you please suggest further testing steps to help reproduce 100% this problem in an attempt to solve it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a pain in the neck for me (and others i guess?!)

I have the same problem. I flashed the phone from android 2.1 TO cyanogen 2.3 and from it TO ice cream. I had this problem even to cyanogen and only in incoming call,never in other situation.
Googling I found same information but no solution. Anyone here knows something?
Anyway I found a stupid solution....try switching to 2g( I know that it's not a solution but...). It works for me!
that's ridiculous! how can network state have anything to do with the microphone of the device? can this be related to service providers maybe a more techish member could tell us.
anyway i am on 2g already as i don't have a usim card and this happens even if data network mode is deactivated. glad you found a way out but is it really a solution? i mean you have to ditch 3g for the phone to be actually a phone...
Since we seem to be the only ones among so many to be having this problem i am seriously thinking of taking back the phone for a replacement and hope for the best...
just an update, i lost functionallity of the microphone completely earlier today. That is with outgoing / incoming calls and any app i can think of, so i thought i 'd try changing the network data setting to 3g only since i was already on 2g...
WOW!!! that had an instant effect,it works seamlessly now,didn't even have to reboot.fingers crossed it will last.
that is one nasty and very strange bug. Please any of the developers could you take a closer look at this?
much appreciated

I have been facing this issue from the time I installed CM12 or any CM12 based ROM. Pretty surprised that there are two or three mentions of this problem in some of the threads but non has replied. Don't know whether its a bug or some intermittent issue. Problem is When I am on a call and a new call comes in(call waiting), my call goes on HOLD automatically and if I reject the new call, my already active call didn't work. I have to disconnect the call and call the person again. This problem is very annoying.
Can anyone please help.

I'm having the exact same problem and have been searching for a solution but no luck. Because of this reason I've been having to go back to KitKat. Does anyone have a solution for this? I have the lollipop one plus modem that I flash every time I flash any lollipop rom
That's what happens when you volunteer to test alpha firmware.
An easy workaround is disable call waiting bc it sucks anyway. Nobody likes to be put on hold. You can have interruption-free calling and extra incoming callers get an old-fashioned busy tone.
Did anyone filed bug for this..

Hi, I've got some kind of problem with my Mi4c microphone. During calls no one can hear me if I don't use the loudspeaker option, and when I try to record something it's really quiet. I've tried stock ROM, cyanogenmod 12.1 and 13.1. Does anyone know what may be causing it? And what's the fix? Thanks in advance.
same problem
I have same problem to, i've try to change microphone with other, but it still same..
Please help thus isue...
Same problem with me. My partner couldn't hear my voice when we made video call with facebook, hangout, duo etc. But using line working normally
Same problem here. It started after updating CM 13.1 TS to version 20161007.
It looks like other phones are having the same problem, so I guess it's not an mi4c specific issue... As for Skype, 7.00.0.655 works. See https://community.skype.com/t5/Android/Microphone-not-working-android/td-p/4417354/page/4
Extremely low microphone volume when doing Skype Echo call test on stock MIUI8, but works normally when calling somebody. Weird.
Hey,
I recently flashed LOS 16 (coming from LOS 14) in order to hopefully get rid of my crackling recording problem.
The problem unfortunately is still there. I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem.
Phone calls are completely fine, however, the microphone makes a really annoying crackling sound whenever I record voice messages or use any kind of voice recorder on my S7.
Perhaps someone has an idea about what I could do. I already did some research but nothing helped.
Is there a way to disable the onboard microphone and just use a headset whenever I want to record voice msgs or make calls?
I'd appreciate any input.
Ever tried updating your baseband?

Yesterday I flashed the newest Samsung firmware. Voice seemed to work in the stock rom. I then flashed LOS again and the "crackling" in voice recording is back again.
I'm not sure what updating my baseband entails (and I don't know how to do it, actually).
