Microphone issue

[userPLwF0CivSF]

My build in microphone is working only for 60% time of the conversation. It just stops working for a while 20-30seconds, and then is back to normal again. In order to talk I need to use microphone from earphones. I received a new phone 3 days ago and I noticed the issue during the first call at the first day.

Any ideas?

All the rest is perfect, thank you <3!

->UPDATE: I have samsung S20 Ultra

hi @userPLwF0CivSF 

  What phone do you have?

First thing you can try is checking for Updates available you can do this straight from the setting > System Updates.

Hi, thank you for your respond. My phone is S20 ultra, received a new piece 3 days ago. I just checked for an update and there is nothing. I had my last update 2 days ago and before that update and after, the microfhone issue did not change.

Inspect the microphone area of your phone. Make sure there is nothing covering the microphone, a dirty phone case or dust could have cost it. Also sometimes coverage or bad reception could have to drop your conversation depending on the area you are in. Otherwise, if you think that your mic is faulty hardware or software-wise, I would bring it to your nearest Samsung authorized location like ubreakifix store so that they can do a diagnostics. Hope this helps you.

Hi ItsGV, 

I may go to the nearest Samsung store as I the microphone issue happens while my phone is clean, without the cover yet and remains in the same position. Also, when I switch to earphones everything is alright.

Many thanks ❤️

Hello @userPLwF0CivSF,

The first thing I suggest you try is to go into your Phone app and dial *#0283#. This will bring you to a menu that lets you test out the microphones and speakers via a loopback. The first option is to test it out as if it were a normal call. A second option is a speakerphone option.  Usually, if you can't hear yourself during one of these two tests it means your phone would need a repair and your best bet then is to private message @SamsungModerator.

Hope this was helpful!

Hi Zolfur,

Your answer was very detailed and hapeful. I will run few tests and see how it goes. Can I message SamsungModerator here, on this site?

Tks
