Something is strangw with my OP6.
If I try to use Google Voice search the app doesn't "hear" my voice.
But also when Im having a call I need to be in a silient place in order for the people who speak with me are going to hear me well, If Im walking outside near a road with cars or sitting with people around me who speak the phone's microphone seems to take in all those sounds so it is very hard for the person who speak with me to "just hear me". It seems to be very sensitive to other sounds around me.
Almost like the phone is using the mirchone for the speaker calls.
I have reset the phone(stock firmware), but the problem remains.
Anyone knows what it might be?
Sounds like the noise cancellation mic (top of the phone) is not working. Could be a hw, sw or just dirt in the mic issue.

Hi guys.
I have an in-call problem with my Desire S.
This does not happen when I get called, just when I initiate a call.
When I call someone, the other part of the conversation will always hear a great noise or interference coming from my phone's microphone to the point that my voice is not understandable anymore.
I noticed though, that if I switch to speaker and back to earpiece the problem gets solved for that particular conversation.
Do you guys know of any permanent fix for this?
thanks.
Hey... nice to see a felow ro. on this forum.
Try a factory reset...it sounds to me like a software problem.
If that doesn't do it.....waranty should cover it.
Ok. So I hard reset and after spending a whole lot of time which I did not have reconfiguring the phone, I got the same problem.
And I figured out that the culprit is the Keep Service option in PowerAmp. Unchecked that and no more problems... and no warranty call... phew!
Hi all,
I am from Australia and got a sony z3 the weekend and so far it has been great but I am having an issue when talking to people over viber/skype. When using video chat or loud speaker the other person can hear themselves back quit loudly like it is an echo. Even if i put the headphones in on my phone they can still hear themselves back but it isn't as loud.
If I switch to my old samsung s3 it has no problems I am using the same wifi etc same location and calling the same people.
There doesn't seem to be much of a issue when calling normal and using the loud speaker. Just with apps like viber/skype.
Does anyone else have this issue at all? Or can anyone test video/using loud speaker on Viber and letting me know if they have the same issue or is my phone possibly faulty?
Thanks Matt
Try a reboot.
Or try another app. It's possible Viber/Skype doesn't use noise cancellation. You could always use a headset or BT speaker (set it further away from the phone). If that all fails, there's a Mic Sensitivity setting under Settings -> Sound -> Audio Settings.
Thanks for the reply,
I have tried rebooting and it didnt help. I have also tried using headphones and while it made it a bit quieter they still had the same problem.
I will have a go at messing with the sound settings, thanks.
I think i am just going to take it back and see if it is just my phone with the issue or all z3's
Is anyone able to test on the z3 and video call someone on viber and let me know if they have the same issue?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi, everyone. I have Lenovo K900 Android version: 4.2.1. Recently I changed the battery since then my mic hasn't been working during phone calls, both regular calls and on WhatsApp. Although it works perfectly when shooting a video, making an audio recording, voice searching etc., only during calls. It's not completely broken if I shout right into the mic the receiver can hear me
very badly (as if I was talking underwater or from very far). Other things to point out:
1) I can hear people well, so there is no problem with my speakers.
2) Using speaker (in order to enhance the mic) during a call doesn't help at all.
3) It has a very problematic back cover, so it took a lot of physical effort to open it, so my suspicion is that mic could have been damaged, though it seems unlikely since it works very well outside the calls.
4) Using a headset mic during phone calls works perfectly.
5) I don't have a warranty.
Some things I've tried so far to fix the problem:
1) Hard reset the system (twice), both normal reset and hard reset (thus deleting all the apps, so I'm doubtful, it could be a software problem)
2) Turned off "Background Voice Cancellation" and put mic quality to "bright".
3) Turned off "Ok google" voice option.
4) Made sure that it wasn't my fingers covering the mic causing the problem
5) Rebooting the system multiple times.
6) Using headset during the call, ending the call with headset on and only then taking it off in hopes to reset built-in mic settings.
7) Downloading "Sound About" app.
None of these options helped, even slightly.
I really believe that it's fixable since the mic works everywhere apart from calls, and even there it works, just unbearably quiet. I have one last idea left, which is to change the Android version completely, maybe upgrade it. Please, if you have any ideas, respond, this bug is driving me crazy. Thanks, everyone, in advance for your help!

I have a little problem that I try to solve and I can not find the solution. I have the Opo to almost 5 years and I love this phone. Everything is working fine only the top micro is giving problems. It will be of old age. I would like to ask for your help and assistance in resolving the problem, if you can and have availability.
When I make a "hands-free" call, people hardly hear me. For example, in whatsapp I can not make a video communication, the other side do not hear me, just screaming at the top of the phone, even then, in poor condition. After some research on XDA, I made some changes to the /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml/ folder. In phone calls everything is fine, only the problem persists in the superior micro. I know programming it is possible to override the top microphone and keep the remaining two working, but I do not know how to do that. I assume it is in the /mixer_paths.XML/ folder that the configuration is done. I've tried to mix the mixer_paths.xml file from OPO_Main_Mic_Bypass_V3 reverses the microphones, only that people listened to me in "hands free", but the phone, when receiving a call, stopped playing. Did not work.
how can I cancel the top micro?
Hello guys! I have EML-L29.
I have strange problem with one of the mics - the one which is closer to the earpiece, top of the phone. So the problem is that the mic is very quiet - i think its responsible for when you change to loudspeaker, when you have phone call or viber, whatsup etc call, video call on loudspeaker. So i have to speak very close and quite loudly so that the person can hear me.
The strange thing is that it works normally when i say OK Google and Hey google. If I say this things, no matter how loud, i can tell them very quetly and the mic still pick up the voice, then i can ask Assistant what i want and again the mic picks everything how it should. But when i try manully to voice search, or manully to ask Assistant something, againt the mic brokes and can't pick up my voice normally, i have to be very close to it and speak very loudly.
I had this problem with EMUI9, updated to EMUI10, stil got it, fully factory reseted it, still no change.
For what i searched on the net i saw that the top mic is part of the motherboard, so its pretty much no point of changing it.. the bottom mic is on its own board, so its easy job.
Still i dont know if its hardware or software issue. Its very strange, normally it dont work, but when voice call the Google Assistant it starts working as it should.
I will be very grateful if someone knows anything about this or some tips on how i can deal with it
Thank you!
