I notice that the speaker on this phone are not the best, specially when on a call I can barely hear the other party when on speaker.

In call the person on other side always hear very low Voice(that is he has to use speaker and I have to shout). I think it's the dirt in microphone. So I used a pin to clear it, there is some improvement but not that much.
When I use earphones without built-in microphones to make phone calls (using the phone's own mic) in noisy environments such as cars or cafes, the people on the other side either cannot hear me or the volume is very low. I can hear them just fine. If I take the earphones out of the phone, people tell me my voice suddenly becomes very clear.
Has anybody experienced this? Why would the call quality change on the other side depending on whether an earphone has been plugged in? Maybe something to do with noise cancellation?
FYI, my m8 is all stock except for root, custom recovery and exposed installer.
I've done some testing, and I'm seeing some weird behaviors. As far as I can tell, there are two microphones on M8. One in the bottom speaker grill, and another on the back, just above the camera flash. Here are the results:
*The earphone used here doesn't have built in microphone.
1. Normal phone call uses front microphone.
2. Phone call on speakerphone uses back microphone.
3. Phone call with earphones plugged in uses back microphone.
This is all good when you are in a quiet environment. With noise, however, it seems that you have to speak directly to the back microphone if you have earphones plugged in, otherwise your voice gets drowned in noise and gets cut by noise cancellation.
Weird thing is that the built in voice recorder app always uses the front microphone, regardless of whether an earphone is plugged in or not.
How good is the ear speaker quality on the Fire Phone? (Not the stereo speakers.)
I tried throwing in a GoPhone SIM on a new Fire Phone, and then dialed 611. If I turn the volume all the way up, or one notch down from max, the automated attendant sounds bad. The sound of her voice is distorted and buzzes. I have to turn the volume down at least 2, sometimes 3, clicks below max for the distortion to disappear.
Did I get a bad Fire Phone, or is this normal?
Does anyone have any distortion or buzzing issues through the ear speaker on the Fire Phone when it is at the highest volume levels?

I was surprised by a lack of answers, and then it dawned on me... I'm asking this question exactly backwards.
So here's a better question: Are people able to turn up the volume on their Fire Phone all the way and enjoy loud distortion-free and buzzing-free conversations through the earpiece?
I'm able to hear the conversations fine at the loudest setting on the ear speaker. However, I have volume issues with the stereo speakers while on a call. The remember the speakers used to be louder before the firmware update.
This is strange.
Taking and making calls have gone very silent on my LG G4 H815 (UK Model)
When I am on calls the ear piece speaker sounds as though it has turned into a very faint speaker phone.
It is loudest when I turn the phone round and listen to the back.
It is NOT the large main speaker at the bottom
I have tried cleaning / scrubbing the front speaker grill.
I have tried as many volume settings as I can.
Using a headset, the calls work normally.
Using as a normally phone with volume turned up to the highest, I can just about hear and have a call.
Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks
My sennheiser headphones dont work very well with the 8.1. They work with every other phone I've had, but with this one the volume is too low and more importantly, the microphone quality is ****... It is too low, crackelly, traffic noise is audible above my voice... So I have to unplug my headphones to speak on a call. This is a massive problem for me, and is really agravating me right now.
Anyone know any solutions?
