Microphone not working anymore - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
the microphone of my Note II does not really work anymore.
When on an active phone call, the other phone does not hear anything, only a minimal staitc which is pretty normal.
Also voice recording does not record anything.
The only working audio I get is when using the camcorder to shoot a video.
Here it seems also a lot quiter than it was before.
Restarting the phone does not help at all.
Did anyone else have that problem before?
My last idea would be to do a hard reset and hope for the best...
Best regards.

how about using ung headset? can the other line hear you? try using voice recorder and see if you can record your voice. if so, then it's a hardware issue. time to visit your sammy service center.
what happened before you lost it?

Hi,
Hope you are not keeping your little finger over the mic, covering it up.
Cheers!!!

mic randomly stops working

hi there
im a new user to the rhodium phone
been using it for a few days now and ive noticed that when im on a call after a few mins into the call, the other person cannot hear me
has anyone else had this problem?
cheers
Mic comes and goes
Yes i had this problem with my Tytn2 and the TouchPro2.
Not sure why?
Is there a software tweak or cab we can use to fix this?
I noticed on the nexus one it only happens when noise cancelling is on. When I have a conversation or use voice actions. If I record a video though it works perfectly

Very strange behavior from microphone - Works with tel, but not with video/speaker on

Hello Guys,
im owning my Gnex for a couple of months now,
last week it suddenly stopped recording/transmitting my voice with speaker on.
So everytime i choose my speaker for calling the other one doesn't hear me.
I tried to disable/enable mic, everything i could try.. no luck or success.
I also noticed the video camera is no longer recording voice.
Tried different roms, kernels, radios... all the same effect.
Also took out the battery for hours.
It seems the microphone itself is okay, but i dont know whats happening there.
Logcat showed NO issues.. :| someone got an idea?
Greetings
I know this may seem like an asinine suggestion, but did you check your sound settings? I was worried myself when my camera was not recording voice nor making any shutter sounds, but then I noticed that my multimedia volume in the sound/volume submenu was muted.
i triple checked all of my settings, did wipes, restores...all the magic i got.
no way out of this ****... just asked amazon for a rma now.
Not what you'll want to hear, but I've returned a gn once due to a inop camcorder mic.
Download a sound recorder that allows for you choose your mic input source and you'll find out pretty quickly if you have a hardware problem.

Just realized my mic is not working when trying to do voice to text or record.

Phone call recording via StealthGenie app - Impossible once call connects??

Hello!
I stupidly threw down for 12 month subscription of StealthGenie to monitor my teenager that struggles with drugs.
I thought I would be able to record the phone calls as per StealthGenie's advertising. Turns out, on the Samsung Galaxy S III , once a call connects the recording goes completely wonky. You can almost hear the back and forth of a phone conversation, but it is like the gain is set way too high ,so everything is far too distorted and staticy to make out.
What's weird is that it only happens when a call CONNECTS. If the phone is just ringing (not being answered), or I activate the "record surroundings" feature, the recording is fine and I can hear everything.
I suspect it may have something to do with the noise reduction feature. I will shut this off and try again but, does anyone know why this might be happening and anything else I could try to resolve it??
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!!!
...
Don't buy stealthGenie btw. They will not refund you if this feature doesnt work ......... although no where on the website will they tell you it doesnt work for Samsung Galaxy S III. Ialso cant find anyone else that says it doesnt work, or do i HAve any idea how I can fix it.
(I also tested the 3gp AMR-NB audio file for any problems and it does not have any. Its a problem with the software OR the phone itself)

Try these two... a little static too, but atleast you get the job done. But I hope you know its illegal to record calls without notifying the other party, let alone recording your son's calls secretly.
Just feed your teenager some tough love, take the phone away from them, make em get a job and threaten them with rehab
hmmm......
Same issue
I am experiencing the same issue. Did disabling noise cancellation resolve in any way? I think this might be hardware related, and that once the microphone kicks in, it might simply be too close to the speaker to effectively record. On the other hand, I've heard of apps that record well on the Samsung S3.

Not in Texas . You can record calls just fine in Texas without telling anyone on the other line.

Thanks for reminding.
Thanks for your reminding. I'm seeking the phone monitoring software, and have searched online, a lot of apps come out including StealthGenie. I saw Mobile Spy is very popular online, but it is a little expensive and can't try before purchase. Another quite popular is iKeyMonitor, I downloaded its free edition, its features are limited, but it really works well so far.

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.

Microphone problem when I use speaker phone - S9

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!
Up
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.
