If I get to pick up my phone today as I plan too, I have to head to a class that I always need to voice record for notes.
Anyone know where the microphone for voice recording is located? I like to direct it in the way that the speaker is in so that I get a good recording.
Usually the mic used for voice recording is the one you talk through (bottom of the phone). The other microphone is used to help remedy back ground noise and is not really tweaked for just voice. I recommend pointing the bottom of the phone towards what you're recording.

I have been wondering for a few days now whether the "Straight Talk" loudspeaker and mic activated by flipping the Rhodium is not the same as the loudspeaker activated by tapping "loudspeaker" when making a call and perhaps someone can enlighted me?
The reason I'm asking is because I have read such raving reviews of the Straight Talk function, with its crystal clear noice cancelled sound and everything, yet when I'm in the car making a call and tap "loudspeaker" I have to talk really loud for the people on the other end to hear me. Also they sometime complain about the sound recieved from me being metallic or having a background hum to it.
So, is the two functions different? And if they are, is there another way to activate Straight Talk than flipping the phone?
Or is my Rhodium faulty?
Any input is very much appreciated!
Noone can help here?
Yes those functions are different. When you use straight talk it uses the microphone on the back of the rhodium. I don't know if there is another way to activate this function and I don't know why you would do that
Witch rom are you using? In my experience the custom roms have a better sound quality then stock roms. I don't know if it's true but it's just a feeling
I guess I'm just too used to tapping the loudspeaker button just after dialing... or when recieving calls. Sometimes it doesn't work putting it face down whilst driving, on the passenger seat, and I can't put it face down while it is in a cradle either...
I'm using the latest stock ROM, european version.
Hello,
i am using google voice recognition very often - I am loving it. The problem is that i need to talk very loud in order to get the voice recognized by the app.
Is there a way to increase the volume/sensitivity of the microphone?

If you ever tried to do a recording, you'd notice that the quality is awful.
Google Voice probaly has more issues getting a clear enough sound rather than a loud enough sound.
Our phone isn't exactly known for it's senses, poor camera, speaker and mic

Agreed about terrible audio quality in Froyo.
But wait till you hear the quality in Gingerbread for the DHD.. it's like a new phone.
I know that the microphone quality in general is not good.
But that's not my problem. If you use Google voice recognition you have a kind of signal strength meter (don't know the english word for it) that shows you the input level measured by the application.
My observation is that sometime I have to shout in order to get recognized and sometimes it's enough to speak with normal voice.
The question is: Is there a way to change the microphone level or sensitivity?
So I am on CM 9 B1. I was on PA 2.1 yesterday(few days before too), but as of right now when I try a video call apps the sound will not play through the speaker, only the spot up top where you put your ear. This has been happening for a short while and very frustrating because I use video chat to keep in touch with family and friends. Before the call connects there is sound through the speaker.
Anyone else have this issue or a fix?

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.
Hello everyone, a while ago I dropped my phone and now the main mic is broken (the one near the charging port). So I can't record audios or make calls without using a headphone with a mic. BUT WHEN I RECORD VIDEOS THERE IS SOUND. I think that's because of the noise cancelation mic(the one on the upper right side of phone) For some reason it's activated during the video records and captures the sound.
How can I force my phone to use secondary microphone all the time? So that I can make calls and record sounds without changing the primary microphone.
well, I'm not a programmer but I have been trying to edit audio_policy. conf and audio_policy_configuration.xml files.
Apparently there are 2 input sources for microphones. built-in mic and built-in back mic. I have tried deleting these or somehow ' disabling' them. but nothing happened. I can still capture sounds while recording videos but the very same damn microphone wouldn't work while recording voices.
How hard is it to simply disable the main mic and use the noice cancelation mic as the main one? I'm sure you programmers can figure it out better than me ??
I'm facing the same issue, have you found any hack for that ?
Any luck bicho2015? My main microphone died on my Pixel 4 and I would like to reroute to the other 2 built-in mics.
