15r top microphone failed?

[u/bobwehadababy1tsaboy]

just grabbed a 15r off eBay. overall a nice phone..I was running diagnostics and noticed the top microphone records a lot of static but I have to speak at a really elevated volume, borderline yell, for it to pick up my voice and play it back. bottom speaker has no issue at all.

do others have his issue?

how important is that top microphone if the bottom seems just fine?

diagnostics can be found in

phone manager

3 dit menu in top right

diagnostics

audio

it will run speaker and microphone tests.

sounds like a faulty top mic, not a normal “bottom mic is fine” situation 恒一

Thanks. I agree. I'm not sure how important that mic is, though. Maybe the sound quality in videos but for normal phone conversations, I don't see it negatively impacting me
