Hello
I noticed my Moto G LTE microphone volume is pretty low in Whatsapp, Recording apps and in calls. Other devices are much louder and clear (I tested against the SGS2 and SGS3) anyone facing this problem too or is my device broken?
I found using the QCATest app that the DEAFULT MIC (one used for all the mentioned above) has vey low volume but none background noise, PRIMARY MIC on the other hand, has little background noise but much better volume. I guess it's a software issue regarding the background voice cancellation mechanism? can anyone confirm this?
Not a single comment?
Please let me know if you have this problem or not. I don't know If I should contact Motorola and get my device replaced.
Thanks
A friend of mine is reporting a similar problem on calls - callers claim they can't hear well. I'm trying to figure out what is going on.
Bump...
No one noticed the low volume compered to other phones?
Please post your feedback

If you have a scratch guard them try removing it.
If it's not the problem, contact Motorola.

I only have a tempered glass which doesn't cover the mic hole.
I tried contact Motorola via their forums, no luck yet. I can try to send the device for "repair" but the waiting time will be too long (I don't have official support from Motorola in my country) and with problems like this, they might just send the device back to me claiming there is no problem at all.
I already found few people with this problem too but not a straight answer on this.
If Cm11, try bass boost

If you're using CM11, try enabling bass boost in the DSP settings.

I'm using stock rom 4.4.4 no root
I guess I should replace my phone as no one is seems to be having this issue.
Edit: If someone can post a sample recording from a supposedly normal device for me to compare I would appreciate this very much. Thanks
Can anyone actually point a recording app that they using and works good with the Moto G (as you can put your phone in the desk and speak at normal level and being able to hear ok)?
No one have a word on this? Although I found that the volume in the camera recording is much better it's still very far behind basically any other phone.
I have the same problem only apps that works fine is when I'm recording on Vine, but Instagram, the Camera App, Snapchat all have very very low mic volumes

I am sure this is not the cause of your problem, but...
I faced this problem once when the other party could not hear me and I could not properly hear him. What had happened was that I had the phone upside down, and the 'swap' option was disabled. The phone is so damned identical on top and bottom that it is difficult to tell which way are you holding it. I noticed this after some loud 'hellos' from both of us and things were fine once I turned it around. Do check.
Hi,
A couple of days ago I lost completely my mic during calls. (Other persons can not here me but i can. Even when i speak through speakers they can not here me)
Even the sound with my video's is gone.
But the strange thing is that when i tap my phone when my voice recorder app is on, it will detect the tapping but it will not record anything.
Can anybody help in this matter?
I use a ZP999 rooted, custom rom
update : the voice recorder did record something afterall.
When i put my headset in i can hear it clear.
I did pull out my headset and i now can hear the voice recording through my speakers which before didn't work.
I had some hope now the mic of my phone dialer should work but it didn't.
Can there be something wrong with my headset-input-jack which controls also the mic of my dialer???
Is it possible that my phone "thinks" there is still a headset inside so my mic won't work?
I remember i used some softtouch-pen which had on the other end a "jack"-like the usual headsets. But i remember it didn't fit the wright way.
It could possibely caused the harm.
Any way to override or fix this problem ???
Any help would be welcome.
As the title says only the bottom firing speaker is working when on speakerphone. The top earpiece works as a speaker with Spotify and YouTube with no problem. However whenever using speaker phone it is only from the bottom speaker.
I have tried a different dialer app, and the beta google dialer with no luck. Wanted to see if anyone else noticed the same issue and if it might be a firmware issue.

Doubt it. Likely by design to protect hearing when folks absent mindedly put handset to ear with speakerphone engaged. Done that a few times on my Moto devices; not a fun experience.
Hi,
So when making a call the other person can't hear me or hears me very low. I figured out that if I move my face away from the proximity sensor the mic works normally. The fact that some people say they can hear me very low could mean that one mic at the top of the phone is not affected.
Is there a setting anyone can suggest or a way to reset the settings without doing a factory reset.
This might have happened after a recent update.
Thanks.
