I got my pre-ordered Nexus 7 16GB (from Staples) on 7/16 and everything worked fine until today. I just tried using Google Now and it is not picking my voice. So I went to Evernote to record Voice memo and it is not picking up anything either. I did Factory reset and not solving my mic issue. I think the mic in my Nexus 7 died? Anyone else got mic issue?
Nexus 7 Mic stopped working

Its not the toggle on/off but I have fixed mine with a rather strange fix.
Put your lips over the mic hole and gently suck for a second or two, this fixed mine. If you tap the back panel you will see it is working slightly(on Google now) but after doing the suck trick fixed the issue. Hope it works for you.
Tried tapping on the back near the mic and mine doesn't register any sound at all. Tried sucking on the two mic holes which didn't seem to help.
How do you toggle the mic? I have searched everywhere for microphone options in the settings. I must be overlooking something.

My mic isn't non-functional, but it barely works. In order for it to register anything, I have to turn it so the mic is right in my mouth and practically shout.

Just got off the phone with Nexus support. They said that my tablet is defective and has to get returned for a replacement (about a week).

I called Staples Customer Service this morning. They told me they will get me a new unit tomorrow and pick up my defected unit. Hopefully, I am not misunderstanding them. I am surprised they have stock to give me a new unit this quickly.
That is a strange way you figure out how to fix your unit. I love my Nexus 7 but don't love it enough to put my lips around mic hole and suck on it. :silly:
There is no way I'm doing that without a bottle of wine and a Barry Manolo album.

Mic quit working on my as well. Purchased mine last friday from Officemax and everything was good (including the mic). Tried Google Now last night (as well as a few other apps), and the mic was not working.
Factory reset and back to stock did nothing to fix the problem. Going to exchange it today.

Same thing happened to mine. Google is sending a replacement today. I don't understand how it just stops working after a couple weeks like that. Let's hope the new one doesn't have that problem.
The microphone on mine stopped working as well. I couldn't talk to Google now. I popped the back off, and it worked just fine. There is a little rubber 'gasket' around the actual mic, and where the hole in the case line up, that can come loose, and cover the wee little pinhole.
My problem
I am also having problems with the microphone of nexus 7. I have observed two things. If i hold the device in portrait mode then the microphone works sometimes and sometimes not. And if i rotate it into landscape mode then it always works but then there is noise. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Hi all.
I tried the suction with a vacuum cleaner. It wasn't working.
But after a good look at a super video from Adam:
Nexus 7 unboxed the xda way
I noticed that you will not void your warranty by opening the back cover.
You have to be careful though, to not damage it.
THE SOLUTION:
- I opened the back cover from the top (where the camera is) and sides to get a better view
- use a small stick to gently poke the microphone (mine was slightly moving)
- then i pressed from top on that mic. and moved it probably 1 or 2 mm into the Nexus.
It's now working without any problem.
Hope it will be helpful to some of you.
