I'm working with a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-m919. I am currently on a NB4 Firmware. w NB4 Baseband. Knox Tripped. I went thru a series of Upgrading amd Downgrading via Odin and Kies to get the phone to the status it is now. I have smooth working handheld. The only problem is that I do not have any in call audio. It makes the dialing sound on the dialer and a beep noise to notify that the call goes thru but nothing on the earphone. The call does go thru but silence on both ends. I dont believe its a hardware problem because I ran the test on the Earphone via dialer code. and it made sounds. I managed to make other sounds come out thru the earphone via market apps. Also the microphone does not work using stock apps like google voice, S Voice , Voice Search and Voice Recorder. However, i downloaded a voice recordrr app on Market with the ability to pick which microphone to record from and the bottom mic was recording flawlessly like the camera mic. Is this a software, firmware, rom, radio?, modem? problem. i had no sounds for a while till i flashed the nb4 modem and nonhelos.

Was Kies the most recent thing you did to get to where you are now? If not, use it to repair your phone. You probably inadvertently caused the problem when you tried to downgrade to an older bootloader and LTE radio after the phone already had 4.4.x on it. If you used Odin and flashed the wrong files that would happen.
I was going to start a thread to say largely the same thing. I rooted and flashed TWRP. Made a backup of stock rooted. Flashed some other roms include The Sickness' S5 V3 rom, but ultimately reflashed to stock. My phone audio works for about 2 days and then just...doesn't. Hangouts voice is seriously messed up at that point, I can hear the other end fine, but my mic goes out like a crackly high-pitched & sped up chipmunk voice.

Hi
Since today my mic only works on calls when I have speakerphone turned on, well at least people can hear me a little when speakerphone is on. They cant hear be at all when its not on. I have played around with mute button when on a call with no luck.
OS Version: 4.1.1
Baseband: I9250XXLF1
Kernel: 3.0.31-g6fb96c9
Has this happened to anybody else?
Thanks
Brian
The mic has frustrated many of us!! Put it back to stock and call Verizon for a replacement. Make sure to back your phone up before anything else!!
I had it happen to me a few days ago.
Thought it was hardware related but then found that the mic worked on speaker phone.
Flashed back to stock JB.. no change
Flashed back to stock ICS and it worked again. With that the ICS updated to JB then I put CWM and back to CM10..
It has been fine for a few days except about 3 days ago I had an issue with the phone showing it was charging when it wasn't plugged in. Had to do a full wipe and start again. Now I am back on euroskank CM10 nightlies
I am on stock and I am in Ireland so phone is GSM version of phone
I have only got the OTA updates since I got phone and I didn't root it
I got JB update a few weeks ago and issue only started now
Is it possible that one mic is used for speakerphone and camcorder, and the other is used for standard voice calls?
See, I have the opposite problem... standard voice calls work fine, but speakerphone and camcorder record no sound. Lots of flashing alternative stock roms, with no change.
Is it possible the noise cancellation mic is used as the primary microphone for camcorder and speakerphone? I've heard that a speaker can also be used as a mic... is that being used? I'm considering replacing the flex cable with the standard mic and USB charging port, since the part is only about $6. Is the noise cancellation mic on a separate, cheap, easy to replace part as well?
Can I get a show of hands for the amount of people who have this issue. I've tried numerous 4.3 & 4.4 roms and the e950tmobile fix and I still have the same issue. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. I'm trying to figure out if its limited to me or a small group of users. I'm so tempted to go back to stock and wait for the official 4.4 update.
I have what may be the same issue using T-mobile. If I use a 4.4 ROM with the handset mic, my voice fades in and out and is quite garbled. People describe it as sounding like I'm underwater. The behavior is somewhat different based on the ROM as follows:
4.3 ROM - no handset voice at all
most 4.4 ROMs - no handset voice without the Tmobile Kitkat fix. With the fix, voice using handset mic is as described above
ROMs based on stock - handset mic works fine.
Based on a little experimentation, I think the issue is the noice canceling mic on the top of the phone not being set up correctly by the ROM. If I block the small hole on the top of the phone, voice from the handset clears up somewhat, but is still very faint.
I think disabling the noice canceling mic may fix the the problem, but I haven't found a way to do it yet.
You can count me among those with volume issues on the AT&T E980. The only ROM I could count on was SlimBean, and thanks to recovery issues I can't even get back to that anymore. So I'm back to stock and hoping that we actually see an update to KitKat.

I'm currently running the V5 version of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462453
But apparently, I had the same issue last night on this ROM. I received a couple of calls where people kept saying they couldn't hear me. I tested it this morning against voicemail, and the same garbled voice was back. I rebooted the phone and it cleared up.
Still think it's the noise canceling mic and would love to be able to disable it.

It's not too bad, just follow the directions closely (I think they're in the general section). After having done it so many times recently, I don't need to look at them anymore. Although it was difficult to go back to stock after having used Slim for so long!
Hello
I have an issue with my phone when using bluetooth. This happens when i use the phone trough my car bluetooth or my Jawbone bt earpiece.
When i place a call i get no ring tone and suddenly the other person pics up. They can't hear me and i can't hear them.
This happens randomly / often and i can't find any fix for this.
This is super annoying since this is my company phone and i call customers a lot.
Any fix for this or should i take it back to the dealer?
Running stock 4.3 not rooted.
I updated my phone to 4.3 trough OTA. I was told by a phone shop that i have to update the phone again trough kies since this will fix the issue. I can't imagine the update is any different trough kies so why this was recomended i don't know.
Anyone can confirm that updating a phone trough ota and kies is exactely the same?
hangouts dialer problems mic not working end call speaker not working
Hi,
I have a couple android phones and hangouts dialer works just fine on my rooted htc evo 3d. The galaxy s3 sprint phone has problems with hangouts dialer that maybe some one can help me with.
The microphone is not working again. Last time I did an update it stopped working so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working again. Today it will not work again and I tried reinstalling the app but it did not work.
The speakerphone and end call button will not work on the galaxy s3 sprint phone. when I select these items it takes me back to the main dialer page showing an ongoing call. I can not hang up and I have to shutdown the phone to end call. If I have bluetooth connected these end call and speakerphone buttons will work though.
Does anyone know what the problem is with the galaxy s3 on hangouts dialer? Maybe I should just stick to HTC phones for now on?
Same problem here. Only fix so far is using a Touchwiz ROM. Lame. Hopefully someone fixes this. Stay vocal and talk to the devs. Ive been trying to sort this out all month. No one is of much help, honestly.
STAY VOCAL.

on the latest CM11 and 12.1 (unsupported) I found that it activates the microphone on the TOP of the phone, rather than at the bottom. Not sure how to swap it around. Had to go back to stock
My in call mic, as well a google now hot word, is not working after installing the latest firmware for lollipop.
It is recording at an extremely low volume. People say I sound muffled and far away.
To get "OK google" to respond I have to put the mic right next to my mouth.
Every thing is fine when using speakerphone .
Are there two mics in the phone? Why would it not work in normal call mode and be fine on speaker?
Also after a google search. I found people in the nexus 5 community with the same problem.
Tried flashing older lollipop firmware to no avail. I haven't tried going back to sense yet, as I want to keep lollipop.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
Strange. Try reflashing it. Make sure to wipe.
Anyone? If there is two mics is there a way to switch when they work. I'm mean to say have the speaker phone mic work as a regular in call mic
This is making me crazy. I can't send the phone to HTC, they want $400 because I used HTC DEV to unlock my phone.
Sometimes it works fine, like 5% of the time. Speaker phone mic works perfectly. I have to put the phone right near my mouth to get "ok Google" commands to work.
Does anyone know how I can get the other mic to act as the primary one?
Searching the interwebs. There are rumors of the noise cancellation causing the issue. Idk?
Can't buy a new device. I'm stuck with this one. It is beyond frustrating.
I've flashed, RUU'D everything under the sun to try and fix this. Nothing.
Anyone?
