How to enable dual microphone not on a flat surface?

The cool thing about the phone is that I can put it faced down to automatically turn the speakerphone and the dual microphone on.
But what if I want to do it while holding the device on my hand? I tried putting it faced down on the case (on my palm) but since it's not exactly flat, it's not working as it should
If I press the "Speakerphone" button on the TouchFlo 3D while having a call, will that give the same functionality as if the device is faced down?

Once you dialed the number just press the "Speaker" button.It works for me.

So it will also turn on the dual microphone with noise cancellation thing? Cool, good to know!

my TP2 doesn't turn speaker on.....when face down during calls....it keeps speaker off!!!!!!!!

Did you make sure your G-Sensor is calibrated?

yes am sure .... G-sensor works perfectly

works with Light sensor
After some tries I noticed Speaker was enabled with both Facedown AND Lightsensor obtured...

to my knowledge both mics work all the time whether your on speaker or not

Ah alright, good to know. The reason was because sometimes my friends went "Huh? What did you say?" when I put them on speaker mode (inside quiet my bedroom). I guess I still had to shout even with a dual microphone + noise cancellation

press and hold the call send key whilst making a call to enable both speakers.

in settings»all settings there's mic input control option (second option on mine) which supposedly increases or decreases the volume of sound captured by the mic to make sure it is not too loud or too soft. Unfortunately when I had it enabled everything captured by the mic was extremely quiet. Even with the audiorecorder if I had the mic right next to my mouth it was extremely low. So maybe it is because of that. Try disabling it, maybe your friend will hear you better.

Notification Light Location?

I noticed that on the Google Store page for the Pixel phones, they list under specifications that these phone have a RGB notification light.
I see a hole on the top left corner of on the front but I assumed that is the FF camera and thought the hole under the earpiece was just sensors.
Anyone know where the location of the notification light is? I haven't seen it in action on any videos or pictures.

It's under the top speaker grill.
It was discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/pixel-xl-notification-light-t3474172

Microphone issue

Mi Max 32GB V8.1.4.0.MBCMIDI
The caller will not hear me, but when turn on the speakerphone, the caller hears me well. In the service menu microphone tests everything works.
When I record my voice recorder.app everything works well. NOT working only during a call, in Skype not working too. Maybe you know how to fix this problem. Maybe this is software bug ? or broke the microphone ?
p.s. Root installed

Still problem

Hello,
This may be because of Camera issue, there are two microphones in the phone, one is the upper one next to the Earphone Jack and one at the bottom next to Speaker. When we are making a movie from the camera in Landscape mode, phone is switching to the upper microphone, (this is a noise reduction microphone) and when we make a move in Portrait mode, this is switching back to the bottom mic, somehow, when are closing the camera from a Landscape mode, phone is not switching back the mic to the bottom one, and still set for the upper mic, causing a very low sound going out for the phone call, as we are speaking at the bottom and the mic is at the upper portion. When you are turning the speaker, the bottom microphone is turning on, hence the voice is clear at the other end. Try doing a little trick, switch on your camera, record a movie in PORTRAIT MODE for 2 to 3 second and close it. Now try again doing a call, to my understanding this will work, as this works for me. Please update if this works for you as well. Best Regards

THis landscape-portrait camera trick doesn't work on my phone.
My upper microphone works (noise reduction mic works in loudspeaker voice microphone mode). But bottom mic doesn't work. I replaced this mic, then i replaced bottom board and its flex. Nothing helps.
1.8V comes to the mic.

Noise from camera

Maybe someone has had a similar problem.
Sometimes when particular app opens camera and the camera sensor is active the sensor will buzz. It is happening only in 1 app.
Second is that when i shake the phone I hear a rumble near the camera. When the camera is turned on, it is less rumble when shaking the phone.
Otherwise I think the camera is working ok. Zoom is ok, when i cover with my hand the sensor there is no buzz.
Someone had a similar situation?

My Mi5s just started to do exactly the same when I start the camera app. Any solution to this noise?

The exact same thing happened to me, until the camera stopped focusing and I had to change it

Yes normal, the top mic is for noise cancelling only...
