[Q] POLL: Verizon Galaxy Nexus In-Call Microphone Issue - Location Map

---

Hi everyone. I, as many others, have been having an issue with my microphone cutting out during a phone call. I have a roooted Verizon Galaxy Nexus running the 4.0.4 leak, but it appears that for everyone who is having this issue it doesn't matter which ROM you're running or even if you're rooted or not.

[EDIT]: It per one of the posters below, this is not so much a "microphone" issue as it is an "outbound audio" issue. Unfortunately I can't edit the subject name to refer to this, but for me personally when I've been doing google searches on this issue the first word that came to mind anyway was the word "microphone" or "mic" anyway.[/EDIT]

People have been trying different things like flashing different radios, muting and unmuting, turning off voice privacy, etc., but it seems that nothing helps. Not even several hardware replacements or sim card replacements.

However, I did notice a pattern from different forums, etc. It seems that some people either have the problem all the time, or not at all, and it seems that some people reported that traveling to different metro regions affected whether or not they had the issue.

So I was curious to see if the pattern has to do with geographical location as an issue with Verizon's network, vs. hardware/software issues.

This poll has 50 possible answers, 1 for each state. Please answer this poll ONLY if you ARE experiencing this issue, and please only vote for your state if you live in the state's capital. For example, I live in the Denver metro area, so I would vote for Colorado. However, if I lived in Fort Collins or Grand Junction, I would NOT vote at all.

If you have traveled and visited another state's capital and have had this issue there, you can go ahead and vote for it as well.

It will be interesting to see if we have a lot of hits in certain major metro areas and none in others.

[EDIT2] Also, if you don't have the problem at all, go ahead and post a comment with your location. In fact, it would be interesting to see if people don't have the problem but others in the same city do. [/EDIT2]

Thanks!

I thought I had this issue just turns out my pinkie was covering the microphone its king of poor positioning watch, the way u hold the phone after changing the way I hold it no one complains they can't hear me

TLDR: I kept having people telling me that I sounded like a robot.

I had this problem on back to back to back phone calls this morning. Horrible.

My wife and I are both having the issue in Richmond, VA but I could only vote once for myself. She has reverted to an old droid x as she cant rely on the phone anymore.

Might be a little late, but maybe we should collect ZIP codes instead? Then we could use this tool: http://batchgeo.com/

Try watching how u hold the phone I'm seriose since I changed the way I hold the phone this is a non issue your prolly plugging the microphone

I voted. I'm in South Carolina. I'm pretty sure it's NOT a regional problem though.

If holding the phone different worked for you, then you don't have the issue this is referring to. This issue can happen with a wired headset, Bluetooth headset, on speaker phone, which none of these would be affected by how you are holding the phone considering you aren't using the mic on the phone. The people on the other end hear a series of clicking sounds, then no audio.

I realize you're trying to help, but you really don't understand the issue. The OP really didn't describe it properly, as it's not a "microphone" problem, but rather an "outbound audio" problem. I use mine at work as a speakerphone with it sitting on my desk, and I lose outbound audio all the time. Others have the problem with a bluetooth headset. I don't doubt that there are some people who have had an issue with covering the microphone hole, but that is not what this thread is about. This is an ongoing issue that people have been troubleshooting for months, and Verizon/Samsung is supposedly working on a software fix to resolve it (I'm not holding my breath).
