[Q] HTC One M8 Microphone Problem - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have microphone problem on my M8.
HTC One M8 has 2 microphone you know. On the front( Main microphone ) and at back.
My microphone which on the front isn't working but my second microphone which on the back is working properly.
If i open the speaker, my second microphone which is on back is working during the calling.
So i have a question for you... Can i solve this problem without repair my microphone?
I have a suggestion for developers. Can you change the main microphone with a software or some special settings ?
If we make the main microphone the second one (on the back), we can solve this i think.
So, thanks for everything...

Not sure that's possible mate the back mic is used for noise cancellation during a call afaik , I'm not aware of any mod to accomplish what your asking, unless mixerpaths has anything in it that may bypass the main mic, i can ask around to see if something might be possible for you but i can't promise anything unfortunately a repair might be your only option, although a Bluetooth earpiece might suffice it would be an easier option for you mate.

If you know anything about editing mixerpaths i think there would be the place to start.

My Rhodium Has Mic Bug After Update Firmware To S2 Solved.

]Is Anyone Have Same Problem?
I Use Rhodium Firmware Original 6.5 First Version It's Work Normally.
After I Flash To S2 Rom (Original HTC S2 Rom, Energy Rom S2).I Have An Bug With Microphone. My Apponent Can't Hear Any Voice. I Found That Is a Noice Cancelling bug in second microphone.
if I call and press menu->noise reduction on That's ok. but if i switch to speaker phone nothing can hear So I switch off speaker phone and The Same nothing can hear.
So I'll find another way to solve this or flash back to first version
(I' e-mail htc and they want me to sent back to htc service)
sorry for my bad english
Hope Someane Can Help . Thankyou
I Have Found Solution By Accident
If Switch To Speaker Phone while noise reduction on. The Noise Cancelling on internalspeaker system will conflict with Noise Cancelling on speakerphone To use same resource(The Second microphone. that cause microphone inaccessible) and will not working. So easy Solution is click menu and turn noise reduction off before switch to speakerphone and It Works nice Me
This is something I too experienced with the new SEA ROM. They told me they were working on the problems and suggested flashing back to the previous ROM. I am debating whether to do so or not because the mic still works well if you activate the speakerphone by turning the phone face down on a flat/level surface...
unforuntately I have no solution to offer you.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Microphone Quiet/Muffled (Not the same as the cutting out problem!)

Hi all,
I'm using a Galaxy Nexus on Rogers in Canada.
I'm having trouble with the bottom microphone being very quiet and muffled.
Unfortunately I'm leaning towards this being a hardware issue because:
The volume is normal and clear when recording a video and when on speakerphone (which I understand uses the top microphone)
The volume is normal when using a headset
The volume is quiet and muffled when recording in "Voice Recorder" which uses the bottom microphone.
But I thought I'd check if anyone else has had this problem before and has any ideas for a solution other a full wipe (which i'll reluctantly try next) or returning the phone.
Thanks,
-Peter
i have similar problem. everything is fine on speakerphone or during video recording. but when it's a call or audio recording it's just pops, cracks, noise.
I have had this happen a few times on calls. If I reboot my phone it goes away. It hasn't happened in a month or so. I'm running AOKP build 29 at the moment.

I have been getting this problem on the last four builds of AOKP.
People always complain that they can hardly understand when I speak.

I've got exactly same problem... it's annoying, I have this phone for over 6 months and was hoping there will be a fix for it... it also seems to be only a case when talking on the phone.
when recording all seems fine... so it must be a software problem or smth... i'm looking for a solution for a long time, checked lot's of ROMS... starting to be unbearable for me and especially for ppl on the other side

Just bumping this topic.
Did any of you manage to fix this. I have replaced the entire usb/microphone assembly on the phone from a new part, and i still get muffled voice calls through the main mic. Works fine on speakerphone or secondary mic.
I have tried many stock variations, and am attempting to revert to my stock stock telstra yakjuxw build (trying to find a copy atm).
Bump the only thing I have to possibly is that it appears more frequently with HTC DNA and landlines when I call feature phones I'm OK.

I fix my problem. The hole for the microphone is very small, and In my case, it was totally "dirty". So I just cleaned it, and all works

I use toothpick, maybe this way is not very smart but... Using toothpicks I just cleaned microphone hole. In my case microphone hole was fully packed. I also find thread on reddit about this problem, one of answer is:
I believe I may have a fix for future users who search through this forum. I read that cleaning out your headphone port can resolve this issue. If there is lint or anything in there, then it tricks the phone into thinking that the aux is plugged in and your voice won't be picked up the the mic, but the non-existent headphones. Turning on speakerphone re-routes the mic from the aux to the handset mic.

[Q] Help Please! Microphone Dead/Very Quiet..?

Right, here’s the situation, I replaced the screen on my HTC Desire HD a few days ago and literally the first boot since there was a Wifi notification of a ROM update also, so I did it... (Orange UK Software number 3.13.61.5) anyway, since replacing the screen / updating the ROM, the Microphone has gone ridiculously quiet when making or receiving a phone call and if I open the Voice recorder, I can barely hear my recorded voice back, and the only way people can hear me when I call them is if they put it on loudspeaker and still put the phone to their ear...
Ok so initially I thought that this might be a hardware issue as I have been in the phone, however, given the fact that I can hear some playback via voice recorder, this means that the Microphone is working..?
So after a bit more investigation, I found that if I remove the bottom panel that covers the SD Card and Sim Card slots, then Voice recorder works perfectly (but my signal drops off completely so I can't test a phone call... *Are the 2 little gold contacts to do with the antenna?*) So I have come to the conclusion that it must be software? As obviously when these 2 little gold contacts make connection with the phone again, ye it enables me to make a phone call, but wrecks the microphone...
On a side note, I have checked the little Microphone hole on that bottom panel and shoved a pin through it and it’s as clean as a whistle so it can't be a blockage of any sort...
So something is happening when the bottom panel is on the phone, those 2 gold contacts tell the phone to do something? Provide an antenna for it but in doing so almost muting the microphone at the same time..?
Any ideas on how I can fix this or where shall I start? Could this still be a hardware issue? Shall I strip the phone down again and pay special attention to a specific part? :S
Please Help!?
Thanks in advance!
Adam.
which rom are you using? if that's a stock rom, it is highly recommended that you try one of the custom ones from development section (sense 3.5 roms)
Yes, its a stock ROM that was pushed OTA... It's a friends phone, I have a HD2 so I'm very familiar with flashing roms etc... but I'm going through the custom roms section and I can't seem to be able to find a good guide as a starting point..? I see a lot about Downgrading? and S-Off..? (Does that mean Signature Off?)
Thanks very much for the reply though!
Ok... I've flashed a custom ROM now, and a different radio '[ROM] Android Revolution HD 7.0.3 | High Quality & Performance | O/C | Legendary' is the rom I used...
Exactly the same... It's as if the microphone level is right down when the phone has signal/network as if I shout the voice recorder picks stuff up then...
Is there an App I can use to tweak the gain or something on the Mic levels?
I've had the phone in bits again and cleaned out everywhere, theres no dust build up or anything of the sort so I'm sure its not hardware related... but then if the ROM is completely different then it can't be software either can it..? :S
Cheers, Adam.

I'm no expert on electricity and all that but can it be possible that the power input onto the mic is being too low so that it is not functioning properly due to a newer screen sucking up a higher power? but then you mentioned that by removing those plates, it works fine...
I couldn't come across a fix as it seems that not many people had this problem so it seems that it is more of a hardware problem but i'll post asap i find something
EDIT: maybe this
Thanks for the reply! I can't understand what it could be... I have figured out though that if I hold the phone horizontally in front of my mouth and talk then it works... so I'm completely stumped as to what it could be...
Is there no way I can edit some sensitivity figure somewhere? :S
Cheers, Adam.

Hi All
I have had the same issue with no mic imput when calling someone on a HTC Desire 500 phone.
My problem started when I paired a plantronics bluetooth hands free device to my phone and started to use it.
While using the PK100 device all was perfect and no issues, but when I turned off the hands free device I now have the same issue no one can her me through the phone mic, no sound at all. I believe this issue is both software and hardware the software needs to switch the hardware (mic) on and off
It is as if the mic has been switched off by the (PK100) bluetooth hands free but the software on the phone is not re-enabling the phone mic so now I am in a situation where i can only use my phone via a diferent mic headphones or PK100 hands free.
I can also add that while in a call I have the option to switch from the hands free on the phone, or to use the phone or to use the PK100 from an in call option all works ok but the mic on the phone will not reactivate. this seems to be an issue with the software not activating the mic.
If anyone has any idea I would like to here...

Its very difficult to diagnose this problem, so rather would suggest you to take it to Service Center and get it checked could be Mic problem(Hardware issue) or you could backup your data do a factory reset and try once.
I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to ask you whether it was a hardware problem or not and whether you fixed it or not (and how). My brother is suffering from the exact issue. The other end hears him well only when he's on speaker or using any headphones with a mic. Volume in voice recordings in WhatsApp is also very low.
same here
Hi,
I am suffering from the same issue as described here.
I belief the Note 2 has 2 microphones. During taking a call the one at the Home button is active which seems broken.
The other one on the top is active in loudspeaker mode, which still works.
In regular phone mode, the caller hears me a little if background noise supression is deactivated.
I tried several ROMs since I beliefed I must be a software issue. Now I think it just is a broken mic.
Since I changed my mid-frame I belief my warranty is gone.
Hope you are in better luck.

Problem with Nokia X front speakers.

I have been having some problems with the front speaker lately. Most of the time when I get an incoming call or make a call no sound comes through the front speaker and have to put the loudspeaker on to hear anything.
Has anyone else had the same problems? How to fix this?

Are you using Vanilla AOSP/Code Aurora rom? If not, then sorry, your speaker is broken, you need to replace it.
