        In my N5 with ota 7 my microphone gives randomly problems: sometimes when i call somebody the other can't hear me, just white noise. After a reboot it works somtimes again.
        Sometimes it works for some minutes, then it gives white noise for some seconds and works again during the same call.

        • Software or hardware?

        Has anybody else seen this behavour?

          @htc_tattoo hi, does it happens only with phone calls? Have you tried the mic with other app? (For example "Recorder")

            Hey, I had a similar problem. Then I have flashed for comparison LineageOS 14.1 and I still had this problem. So it looks for me like a hardware problem ... I have switched to another Nexus 5 for now

              @advocatux: I tried with audio recorder, same behavour: first it worked, then after turning the screen off and on again i still could see the wave moving to my voice, but it didn't record.
              Reboot didn't help, recording for a longer time made it suddenly work again. The recorded sound sounds like microphone in storm and suddenly it works normal.
              Could it be a conflict with other apps? eg. linphone?

                @htc_tattoo i think ive read about this before. also I was the victim of this behavior myself.
                quick and dirty workaround: mute and unmute. this seems to fix the problem for the moment .

                    Ok, seems to be broken then...I changed a lot in my phone, hardware seems to be on its end..
                    we don't have much alternatives...what about the meizu mx 4? Is it worthy to change from a N5 to this phone?
