note 4 speaker issues

[sillyrabbitt123]

I have two note 4s and both people complain they can't hear me when using speaker. It's very choppy. Anyone else have this problem and is there a rememdy?

Thanks!!

The mic for the phone is on the top of the phone if your speaking into the bottom of the note 4 it will be very choppy but execlent quality if spoken to from the top ,leaned this the hard way ,espessially since every phone I ever had used a bottom mic.
Even the ediot at the corporate store thought it was broke , it does list this in the manual under speaker phone

Haha. Thanks. I have been looking and couldn't find the mic. I agree always at the bottom and that's what's i was speaking into.

Thanks!!

i see the phone has THREE microphones so you should be able to speak from bottom or top? i think there is a mic problem on this phone again i have 2 of them same problem. people complain about voice dropping out on speaker. i will try a test speaking from the top of the phone and see... stay tuned...

There are 3 mics. For noise cancelling purposes, and directional recording from the recording app. There are several different recording options within the app.

The only mic picking up your voice is the bottom

Thanks, I stand corrected. Seems like an odd thing to do. I use speakerphone fairly regularly when in my office and I usually have the phone with the bottom pointed towards me and haven't had anyone complain about not being able to hear me .

yeah it is odd. but every caller i speak to was like huh what huh? or when i tried to speak i was speaking over their speaking because they couldnt hear me.

i am still not sure its perfect from the top but it is better.

also how stupid is it to have at TOP when you cannot rotate the screen to browse when trying to speak to the top mic [if you move it to the bottom when spin the phone].

seems weird.
