Nokia 8 Microphone problem PLEASE HELP !

Same here, its gone when I use the speaker. Looks like interference between the 3 mic's. Is it possible to disable a mic?

It really looks more like a hardware issue now. After recording sound with the Sony Audio Recorder app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.androidapp.audiorecorder&hl=de) even with no sound (not speaking etc.) you can clearly see the bottom bar at 80-90% load and the top one being at 0%.

Looks like one of the microphones has a hardware issue.

After using the Nokia support chat on the phone and explaining the problem the suggestion was to use the Nokia repair center to send it in.

I now returned my phone to the vendor as defective to get my money back and order a new one.

However, as this is a core functionality of a phone I thought it would have been tested before leaving the factory. Also, I've seen and read about some pixel/display problems some users are experiencing - also something that should've been visible at the end check in the factory.

I think this is more or less a QA problem @Nokia / HMD Global. Not Nokia quality, but it's also not a Nokia factory anymore...

I'm having the same issue on my Nokia 3, it has happened twice since I bought the device 1 month ago.

It is not a network problem. I have disabled 'Suppress background noise' setting to try out if this issue goes away (I will keep you posted), but a workaround is never the perfect solution.

@Anna, I can take it to my provider's customer support, but I already know they will tell me to leave there my device for weeks and they'll just update the software (although it is up to date) and that's not I bought my phone for.

Same problem here, sounds like metal rattling in the speaker also sometimes the other person I'm trying to talk to cant here me also gives strange sounds when notifications come through.

Car phone warehouse not able to help as it was 36 hours over their 30 day cover and no way around it apart to send for repair, Nokia no good as they told me to take back to CWH, only had it since November.

I was hoping this phone would last a few years with the price we paid, come on Nokia we came back to you so you help us, ok I know your not the real Nokia that used to be but you take our hard earned money and then walk away

When I have done test recordings with an app called Hi-Q I hear the quality of the recording change over the first couple of seconds and the noise level drops quite suddenly with some of the input settings. Loud noises also seem to trigger a change in behaviour. Is there an connection with your speaking volume and what happens? Are any of the (three) microphones blocked (eg by a case)? I think Ozo recording uses the front and back mics and the bottom mic to do some clever stuff with (try rubbing each in turn when videoing). Only a guess, but if the phone is trying to do some filtering and it isn't getting the signals it expects it might do something odd. It seems unlikely to be faulty if the camera app always works.

Got the same issue starting Jan 30, 2018. Interesting observation, if you sing directly into microphone the noise disappears. Noise sounds very much like radio frequency noise, like microphone picking up radio waves (not grounded?) Went to Nokia Hardware Support entered IMEI (my phone is 2 months old) however got this message The IMEI you have entered is from a phone that was not shipped to your country and is not currently under warranty I guess Nokia decides to screw customers over, well mean no more Nokias for me. Not proper way to win customers back.

I do have Oreo on my Nokia 8 as well, and the issue didn't begin until after I got Oreo. It is a puzzling issue though, as the phone returned to normal again after I connected it to the charger. For the last 2 days, the phone has been working perfectly with no microphone issues. I'm sure though that it is only a matter of time before the issue reappears.

Received another Google security update just now and issue has cleared again. 

No noise for now.

Don't forget its HMD global that make the phones under the Nokia logo, however they are still rubbish and no customer support to solve problems, got our hard earned money and run.
