Hello! So I got a s21 fe phone and when I was putting the sim card In it was right next to the mic hole so I put the sim card pin in the mic hole is the mic broken damaged or anything.
Thanks
BTW no wrong whole that's what she said memes!!!
Hello!
I remember making the same mistake with my S10e that I have before, but there was no damage.
have you tried making a call?
Or better, give it a try with the voice recorder, this will allow you to check if the microphone is working.
The mic is not located directly on the hole but in a L-Shape.
So you can't puncture it.

I went into setting to check off the box where it says turn over phone to use speakers or something similar, when i am in a call i put the phone face down all i see is a green light on the little microphone thingy next to the speaker, nothing from the back speaker at all.
I thought you supposed to be able to do speaker phone by just placing the phone face down, help?

Yes, works well for me.
Must be placed flat down on a table or something similar.
Might want to double check, its checked in settings>personal >phone>advanced settings. Once call is initiated it takes a second or 2 for the speaker phone to ramp up the volume.
Great conference call phone in this mode. 2 speakers, 2 microphones.
my speakerphone does work like it's supposed to.
I do have another issue with Straight Talk though involving the To/CC options in emails. They aren't there. I created a thread, but put it in the wrong forum & no mod has switched it over to here yet.

i have figured out why, the gyrator thing is f'ed up when i tried to install something, just had to recalibrate it.
Hi guys,
First of all, many thanks to all the contributors of this forum !
I'm always impressed by the tons of info I can find ... and that I use
I was wondering, I wanted to do a soft reset,
So I "naturally" inserted a pin inside the small hole on the right side of the phone.
I know I'm stupid ... but I used to have a wizard before, and that's exactly how it was (you did not need to remove the cover to do the soft reset)
Well, I'm not sure I damaged the microphone ... and I would like to test it !
Could someone let me know how to test this microphone only ? what is it used for ?
Thanks a lot !
Hmm, I was going to suggest that it's used in speakerphone mode, but I just did a test and it seems like it just uses the normal calling mic at the bottom for that.
Maybe it's used for the sound when recording video?
it is used for noise and interference reduction
Hi,
New to this forum. Hope someone can help me out. I've got a new Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 unlocked running Android 4.3, and I've got a problem with the mic. I can hear the other person during calls, but they can't hear me, unless I put my mouth directly over the mic hole and speak into it (so I have to be holding the phone perpendicular to my mouth and speak to the bottom of the phone). Even putting my mouth close to the home button doesn't work; the phone has to be perpendicular to my mouth. I'm getting same issue with Voice recording (ie. no sound recorded unless I put my mouth directly over the mic hole at the bottom), but the phone has no problems picking up audio when I record videos.
Things I've tried that don't work:
- Soft reset, and hard factory reset
- Turning off Motion completely (so proximity sensors everything are blanked out anyway or off)
- Noise reduction is off
- TTY is off
- Turn all sounds off (under Accessibility) is unselected
- Wifi calling is off
- Using speakerphone doesn't work (they can't hear me either)
- No pinky or anything blocking the mic
- I've tried cleaning out the mic hole with a needle but nothing comes out. Not sure if there's a specific way of doing it, but I gently put the needle in and jiggle it about, then withdraw it, but nothing comes out. For reference, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that's 2 years old with dust around its mic hole and I have no problems whatsoever with calls on that).
I can't downgrade to any other firmware cos mine is stuck on Android 4.3, and I'm just short of disassembling my phone and seeing if there really is anything physically blocking the mic hole that the needle maybe didn't clear. What I don't get is, if it were really a physical blockage of the mic hole, wouldn't that also affect the audio recording when I take a video? Audio is loud and clear when I record a video and narrate with the phone at half-arm's length from me...
Any help most appreciated!
Thanks!
Maybe something loose that is only connecting when you hold it certain ways. Have you considered replacing the Mic? I believe the part is only a few bucks.

You are not alone having this issue with 4.3. I too have this issue read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789017
my thread on same issue and try flashing 4.1.2 Rom in recovery (not to go for full Rom through Odin which may result in brick) and see if your issue remains
I am also on latest bootloader and modem and using 4.1.2 and don't have this issue on older Rom

Do you have headphones plugged in when this issues occurs? I've had issues with people hearing me during a call when I have headphones plugged in; unplugging them solved the problem.
If not, try plugging in headphones when you're in a call and see if that changes anything.

No I don't use head phones and without headphones I am having call issue on all TouchWiz 4.3 roms only on outgoing calls but incoming calls I don't have any issues and also on AOSP Roms also mostly no issue
Thanks for your replies. Sorry have been busy with other things and was using my older S2 since the S3 was giving me problems.
Anil2653, what do you mean by flashing 4.1.2 Rom in recovery? Do I need to root my device to do this? Or what are the specific steps?
TIA!
OK so I just got a note 3 updates to 5.0 then went to metro pcs to activate it. So here's the problem. When I make a call, I can hear them fine but they can't hear me other then while I'm on speaker. I then tried using the voice recorder to make sure it's not a microphone issue and it could hear me just fine from 4feet away, so can see voice. So after much research here's the things I've tried.
1 restart
2 put small pin in microphone to clear dust bunnies
3 pull Sim card and clean it and use compressed air to clean slot
4 factory reset
5 boot In safe mode and make call (caller could not hear me but i coukd hear them)
6 turn off Bluetooth
7 wipe cashe
8 made sure I wasn't stuck in headphone mode
9 played with all call setting ie noise reduction volume boost (nothing worked)
Anyone have any ideas?? One thing that I found weird was that I can hear myself during the call like I was on the other phone talking to myself if that makes sense.....I'm hoping someone can help me
Oh and obviously it's a tmobile phone that I unlocked and activated at metro.
Im guessing your screwed if you have this issue?

I had this issue as well with my tmobile note 3. I could only be heard when on speakerphone. I researched and many folks said the issue is with the little flap of rubber that guards the entrance to the microphone by where you normally speak. I carefully took my phone apart (don't do unless you watch plenty of videos to know what needs to be disconnected and how) and I used a toothpick to (very) gently rub away small bits of debris around the entrance to the microphone. Then I put it back together and still had the problem, so I don't think taking it apart worked.
I rooted the phone and installed cyanogenmod with android 5.1, my microphone just started working. I'm on android 6.0.1 now and still have a working microphone in calls and voice recorder.
Microphone works just fine in recordings app but during calls, the sound is very dim and unclear
People complain that the sound is unclear so I recorded a test call using Automatic Call Recorder app and found that the sound was very dim
but it is perfectly fine in stock recorder app
Is this software issue? How to fix it?
PS I used stock rom and had recently factory reset the phone
Have you tried cleaning the small microphone at the bottom of your phone? It's likely blocked by some dust. There is another microphone at your phone which is problem used for voice recordings, hence the difference in sound
