Hello guys,
first off i want to thank everybody sharing their knowledge about the LG G3! I just got mine (D855) and found myself pretty satisfied with this device coming from a Samsung SGS4.
There is one issue i can not seem to find a solution for, the over-sensitive Microphone! No Matter if record a Voice msgs on Whatsapp, a Live Concert via Video or me Playing guitar, i also feel like the MIC Gain is way to high which most of the time leads to a distorted/cracking.
I know there are 2 possible reasons for that:
1. Mic Gain (preamp) is set to a very high value in general, so that the mic captures a too high input level in every app using it (video camera, phone calls, Voice Recorsers etc.)
-> It's a software based issue which needs a fix in the mic gain value's
2. The G3's Mic is just crap, a low-quality mic capsule which handles high impulses very poorly and distorts even BEFORE the signal is amped by the software.
-> Hardware based Issue which afaik can't be fixed.
I know the G2 had similar issues with it's mic picking up sound way to loud. I wonder why there is nobody complaining about the g3 yet. To me this is kind of a deal breaker, especially coming from an SGS4 which could easil record sound at a rock concert!
I hope somebody will dig into that problem and find a (hopelfully) software based solution!
Many Thanks in advance.
Best
Nik

Solution: Turn off the "from any screen" option for "OK Google" detection.
Google Now > Settings > Voice > "OK Google" detection > from any screen
Turned off it will still work in Google Now and on the home screen with the widget.
Calls are all clear now and everyone says they can hear me fine.

Tried that but still no improvement
Are you using a custom rom or kernel for your phone? If so it may be an issue with the rom . If using a custom kernel i believe you can modify mic / sound settings in Kernel Adiutor .

I'm on xdabbebs 46a firmware with his stock kernel
I also had a problem with the microphone. People say they do not hear me clearly, and as I say it cuts my words. It turned out that when the phone fell, some filter at the microphone jumped out of his seat. Repair time 30 minutes. Cost 10 €.

My Issue was with microphone, others can't hear me well
After a lot of search I understood LG G3 has 2 microphone for noise cancellation
Just I put a tape or blocking hole of Top Microphone. Now voila, Microphone works perfect

Callers can't hear me when they're calling me.
I have test my S4 with my wife's phone, there's no sound comes out from her phone when she calls me sometime, but i can hear her voice, then i connect a headphone to the S4, which still no sound from her phone. Also tried to deactivate the noise cancelling and set to other sound type. This happens in both WIFI and regular call. But it does work 100% of the time if i make the call.
This is a clean factory S4 with newest firmware installed , never rooted or flashed.
Any one has the same problem?
thank you.
"there's no sound comes out from her phone when she calls me sometime, but i can hear her voice"
The above part confuses me.
But from what I understand, when your wife tries to call you, sometimes you hear her voice and sometimes you don't.
But when you make a phone call to your wife, you can Always hear her fine.
If the above is correct, does the problem happen when only you're wife calls you, or also when other people call you?
If the above doesn't not fix your issues, the answer may be:
- the mic on your wife's phone
You can have your wife call you from her speakerphone multiple times to see if the issue happens.
If the issue does not repeat, the problem is probably an issue with the mic on her phone.
If the issue does repeat, the mic is ok.
But let me know if the problem is only between your 2 phones and/or when calls are made to and received from other phones also.
If the hardware on your devices are fine by testing with trial and error, a Factory Reset may be an option.
Also, if you have insurance or just purchased the devices, maybe an exchange or trouble shoot with tech, etc.
But first you need to isolate the issue as per my comments above.
Trouble shooting may be tedious, but it will narrow down the possibilities of what the cause may be.
Which device
Hardware
Network, etc.
this happens to me too on wicked rom but i haven't noticed any patterns to cause it. which rom are you on?

I just noticed that you said you're on a stock rom. I think I may know the culprit. There is some user app that is interfering with the microphone due to bad programming. For example I believe in my case it is a live wallpaper that I use which is sensitive to sound. So it uses the mic. Sometimes when I try to use Google Voice typing or voice search I get an error message that says it could not open the mic. I also have instances where people cannot hear me on a phone call. I believe these are all related due to a bad behavior of an app using the mic. Try to figure out which app is using the mic and let us know

I am on the original rom from Tmobile, it seems only happen when someone calls me with AT&T. My problem is when someone calls me, i can't hear them, but they do hear from me, so i don't think the problem is related to my mic.

Hello,
The microphone doens't work on my S9 when I use the speaker phone. The people do not hear me. I have no problem in normal call mode.
I tested to call in "safe mode" but the problem always appears.
Thank you for your help!
No idea?
Same problem here (replace xx by tt) : hxxps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/GalaxyS/thread-id/51619/page/12
Thank you!

m also having the same problem, but also While video recording
Same problem here. Only when HD calling is enabled. If you disable HD calling, the problem should go away. I'm hoping the first software update fixes it. Just to be clear the problem is that the other person cannot hear you when on speakerphone. You should be able to hear them clearly and have no idea there is a problem unless they tell you that you sound muffled or like you are underwater. Turn off HD calling on Verizon and it goes away.
Thank you for your solution. I disabled the HD calling ("4G calling" in French) and the voice can be heard now. But the quality is very very bad! It is scandalous for a phone of this price!
Is there an other solution to improve the microphone quality during a call with speakerphone?
Thank you!
HD Calling?
I have the same issue, but have no idea how to disable HD Calling ( I'm on Sprint BTW). These minor issues are ticking me off; I've already had for factory reset once due to Camera settings crashing the app.. . now this nonsense. Phone isn't even 14 days out of the box, and its DEFINITELY not an "third party-app" issue. Bad time to switch from iPhone, huh? This is unacceptable for a $300 phone, nonetheless a $1K phone.
Hello, I have the same issue, on VoIP apps like WhatsApp as well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rphone-loudness-clarity-t3746298#post78757253
Does anyone experience the same problem on custom ROM?

Same problem here, first on Note7, now on Note9. Disabling HD calling did not fix it for me.
any solution for it ? please post solution
I've discovered the issue is that the phone attempts to mute your microphone while the speaker is playing sounds. (If you're on the phone with someone they have background noise or are talking) and your phone's microphone attempts to lower the sensitivity so that the person whom you are speaking with doesn't hear an echo of themselves on their end. If they aren't making a sound then you can be heard normally. This is the downfall of my S9+ because the speaker and microphone are right beside each other.
Hello!
My phone has always been working fine so far.
Two days ago suddenly I couldn't make phone calls anymore. To me more precise there was no sound on my side and the other person could not hear me, just silence.
I did a reboot and it worked again.
Yesterday the problem came up again. Did a reboot, but a did not help. Today I did a more detailed investigation and it turns out:
- when doing a normal call I cannot hear a thing, not even the ringing sound. the other person may hear a crackling sound
- when I plug in a headphone-microphone (like the stock ones delivered with new phones) the call works normal (not the best sound but probably due to the cheap headphones)
- when I am on speaker the call works fine too (form the speakers at the bottom)
Another fun thing:
- the speaker does NOT work when playing music oder videos (tested with spotify and youtube). Yet the speaker works during calls
Conclusion:
- Normal front speaker does not give a sound
- Microphone works only when using speaker mode on calls
- Bottom speaker working when calling in speaker mode but not with music/video
My current setup:
Latest Firmwaer: fw_capricorn_miui_MI5S_V9.5.2.0.NAGCNFA_60af75c30b_7.0.zip
Latest Lineage OS nightly: lineage-15.1-20180514-nightly-capricorn-signed.zip
I did full wipes, firmware update, flash older ROMs...
Did anyone experience something like this before? Any ideas what to do?
Hi,
I'm in the same situation, with the same diagnosis.
Problem appear after updating to the lineageos rom of early May.
No clues

I did sold mi5s and bought mi5 (cheaper to service once screen is broken).
I think you must dismantle and turn clockwise speaker, so pins get contact. As far as I remember is was the problem

I checked pins and it's ok...
Die anyone found a solution? Is it a hardware or a software problem?
I had the same problem. In my case the solution was to clean the headphone port. Lint/Mud had accumalted there.
Is it just me? The top speaker seems move vocal heavy, and the bottom and more mids to lows.
And I just hearing things or does anyone else hear this too?
Is this by design I wonder, maybe the speaker, facing up would be better for vocals?
Try it. Cover the speakers one by one with your thumb and listen.
I hear that too. When I rotate the phone, the sound channel changes but the feeling of heaviness always follow the top speaker.
However, when I measure speakers loudness, the volume is quite similar.
Deactivate the Smart Audio and put it to say Movie/Film. Now its even.

Same with mine
But was working fine at first
I am having issue with my LG G7 ThinQ, whenever I made or received a phone calls the person who is talking to me is hardly hears my voice but if I change it to loudspeaker the voice is very clear and when I'm calling using the whatsapp calls there would be no problem with my voice at all wheter I am using the loudspeaker or not. I wondering there must be a problem with the software or hardware? Does anybody can help me with this problem?
Happened the same to me. I contacted LG customer service and they changed the microphone with no charge because the device was in warranty.
I also had this problem, others complaining that can not hear me good. For me the fix was disabling in call settings the noise suppression and voi e clarity. ?

Yes it did.
I'm facing similar issue. How can I disable noise suppression and voice clarity? Couldn't find it in the settings. I'm using Verizon device with the latest updates.
I thought that my upper mic is dead at first. But then I tested video recording and both mics are working fine. So it seems like it's a software issue?

You just saved me £200. I just bought this phone new from a mate and I thought he f*cked me over and was about to throw it and buy a new phone, because I had tried everything from new ROMs for different regions to screaming at it.
Did what you said, and now people can hear me properly.
Noise suppression on this phone is taking its job too seriously.
I bought 2x of these phones with a tmobile deal. They both suffer the same fate. You have to hold the phone at a perfect angle to your mouth to get it to pick you up. I assume its made this way to eliminate any background noise. I didn't know of the suppression and clarity settings and now that I tested them, I can hold the phone upside down on my ear and the other party can hear me.
It was probably a good idea on paper for this design/feature but it was very frustrating having to correct the angle of my phone to get my voice to work properly.
